"Are you serious? Not only does he have so many soul beasts, he's also adept at swordsmanship? How is he a summoner?"
Theodore's girlfriend gasped in shock as she watched from above. Beside her, Theodore Hammond guffawed good-naturedly.
"All of you underestimated him. I'm starting to doubt that you've watched the national tournament last year."
"I saw your matches, but I didn't actually watch the others," his girlfriend admitted guiltily. Theodore sighed and shook his head.
"Yeah, well…if you have a chance, you should watch his matches as well. He's quite the insane dude, you know?" he burst out laughing. "In fact, it's all because those guys didn't bother to do their research properly and find out what Richard is capable of that they ended being beaten up so badly! Serves them right!"
"You seem to hold him in very high regard," his girlfriend remarked, amazed. "I've never seen you respect anyone else like this."
