Hajime began the training.

First he gave the Haulia two Kodachi each, (small katana) he also taught them the basic moves he knew.

The Haulia's specialty is stealth, so Hajime taught them group combat strategies focused on surprise attacks.

Meanwhile Shia was being trained by Yue.

On the 2nd day of training something irritated Hajime. The Hauulia tribe was doing well in training. They were even managing to defeat some magical Beasts without too many injuries.

But...

GUSAGH

A Haulia killed a monster.

"Ahh, forgive this sinner."

He clung to the dead monster as if it were a dead friend.

BUSHU

"I'm sorry, but I need to do this."

The Haulia kept apologizing for killing the monsters and even cried. Hajime already had Veins pulsing on his forehead. At this moment a Haulia called out to Kam.

"Boss! Don't say that! We are all sinners!"

"That's right! We have to wait for our judgment!"

The Haulia encouraged Kam by saying that everyone was a sinner.

"That's right! In the name of her death( magical beast that looks like a rat.) we will advance through death!"

Kam spoke this and cheered up all the Haulia. Hajime couldn't take it anymore.

"What kind of nonsense is this? You guys are overreacting! Just kill quietly! By the way don't call the Magic Beasts 'she'. That's disgusting!"

The Haulia were all saddened by Hajime's words and one even said "poor little things.

A boy approached Hajime, but out of nowhere jumped back.

"??? What was that?"

"Ah, yes I almost stepped on the flower-san. Thank goodness. If I hadn't noticed I would have crushed it. It would have been so sad."

Hajime's face began to tremble.

"Flower-san?"

"Yes! I really like flower-san Hajime-niichan! I don't want to hurt them with our training."

All the Haulia seemed to agree with the boy. Hajime's hair fell down and hid his expression. Then he asked in a whisper.

"Sometimes you guys moved strangely. Was it because of the flowers?"

They made some random jumps sometimes. Or dodged anything.

"No. Of course not."

"Hahaha you're right right?"

Hajime realaxed at Kam's words.

"It wasn't the flowers. It was so we wouldn't step on the bugs."

Hajime's expression collapsed and he began to sway like a bewildered ghost. The Haulia didn't understand. Hajime stopped swinging, he crushed the flower and

"Fufu."

All the Haulia were saddened by the flower, but were startled by Hajime's laughter afterwards.

"Ahhh, I finally understand. I was too soft. It's my fault it was a mistake to get my hopes up haha and to think you guys were paying attention to the flowers and insects haha how inexperienced I was. Fufufufu hahahaha."

The laughter was frightening. It was as if Hajime had snapped.

"Ha..hajime-dono?"

Kam called out to him and the response was.
