Uwaaaaaaaa!!!! Aga!”
These men kept spitting insults at Ryouma, yet this men’s abilities were no better than an amateur’s. These guys were the kind that would pick on people weaker than them or around their level, and would only overpower them by their number.
Since from the start these men didn’t have any guts to fight people stronger than them. When they see that there’s a difference in power, they will immediately withdraw, and without any hesitation surrender like this.
“I, I give up! I’m surrendering!”
"Winner! Ryouma Takebayashi!"
“Wahoooooo!”
At Wogan’s declaration, the surrounding onlookers all cheered for Ryouma. The eyes and the comments that were around when they thought Ryouma was someone who didn’t know his own limits had all disappeared, and now the crowd unanimously admired Ryouma.
A man came out from the ring of onlookers with a double-edged axe on his back. As he moved closer to Ryouma, the crowd grew quiet.
“Not bad. For a brat. I’m the leader of the Fang of Orbtem, Sacchi. What do you think? How ‘bout joining us?”
“I refuse.”
It was a sudden invitation, but Ryouma gave a prompt reply.
“You’re refusing my invitation?”
“There’s no way I’d want to suddenly become the comrade of a bunch of guys who were looking down on me just a while ago.”
“Well, that’s true. But you see… we need to do something about the fact that you sullied our name.”
“Wait!”
At Sacchi’s words, Wogan put himself in between the two.
“The one who proposed this duel was your men. It’s unreasonable to say that just because you lost.”
“Unreasonable? That kind of thing doesn’t matter. The problem is that what belongs to me just lost to this brat. You also understand, right? Just how important this thing called ‘face’ in this job is. An adventurer with good reputation will find a lot of jobs, and a poor reputation will find few. And for an adventurer, the worst kind of rumor, is the rumor of being weak. A weak adventurer can’t do jobs, that’s what it means to be an adventurer. To an adventurer like that, jobs won't come.”
As he said that, Sacchi looked at the six men on the ground and then declared this,
“From now on you bastards aren’t allowed to use the name, Fang of Orbtem! You’re fired!”
“W–wait Sacchi-san, please wait!”
