"You have to be kidding me…" Asher mumbled and blinked, taken aback by Arthur's request.
Even if it wasn't their actual mission, what infuriated Asher was that they could have caught the Thundering Reaper if not for Arthur butting in at the wrong time. After all, they had been struggling to track and find her when she suddenly showed up before them.
And Arthur could not have intervened if not for what happened during that quest in New York, making Asher regret teaching him those things. So why would he teach him more and invite more trouble for himself?
And so his present request only made Asher scoff as he said,
"Teach you? You can't be serious. My job is to advise you and your team during combat, not to school you from scratch. That's above my pay grade. If you think you lack so much, you should ask the teachers at the WHA or, hell, even your own decorated father. I'm just a mere combat advisor compared to an ex-member of the Guardian Council."
