“A training journey, you say? That’s awfully old-fashioned of you, kid... Oh, was that rude of me? Well, guess you should do all sorts of things while you’re young.” The aged police officer spoke to him with an exasperated tone. The old man looked as if he’d done exactly that however many decades before, but now his uniform was weathered and his skin was wrinkled. He must have retained his solid physique either because he did a lot of patrolling or simply because he’d never been in enough of a dangerous situation to get badly injured.

“Right...” Orphen answered vaguely, giving the officer a blank sort of look. “I heard there were some training schools in this town, so I figured I’d spend some time with one of them, but I happened to hear some worrying rumors, so I thought I should ask about them.”

“Worrying rumors, eh? Worrying... If you ask me, the fact that you’re still here in this town means you haven’t heard the real rumors,” the officer said sardonically, gazing up at the sky.

Orphen looked up as well, taking a look around while he was at it. The police station looked like it might barely accommodate two officers, and likely had a small break room and a few cells in the back, though Orphen couldn’t see them from outside, of course. One of the officers must have been on patrol, since the old man was alone in the station. On the desk was a map of the town, stained in places with what looked like food. There weren’t a lot of things on the walls or desk, but the place was still rather cluttered.

Tossing some cookies that must have been his lunch in his mouth, the old man continued. “If you value your health, you should get out of this town. It’s the people who have some confidence in their abilities that tend to get caught up in trouble. This is a perfectly nice town, long as you’re just living a normal life here...”

Orphen nodded as the man spoke, cookie crumbs falling from his salt-and-pepper mustache. “So I shouldn’t get involved with the dojos?”

“That you shouldn’t.”

“Neither of them?” Orphen asked, and the old man got a bit of an odd look on his face.

“Neither?” He stopped eating his cookies and looked up at Orphen. “Sure, I think they’re both menaces. They turn the streets lawless wherever they go.”

“Well, shouldn’t you just arrest them?” That’s your job, isn’t it? He kept the second comment to himself when he asked the first.

But the old man just sighed heavily, his face showing the sort of patience you had to have with young people.

“The first incident occurred two years ago. It wasn’t anything too serious at the time... just a fight, really. Naturally, we arrested the perpetrators. What do you think happened then?”

Before Orphen could answer, the old man continued, “They retaliated. Several members of the arresting officer’s family were indiscriminately attacked. It was impressive—it happened only three hours after the arrest. That’s why it can be dangerous to arrest people in your home town.
