"Sir, don't you think this time is presumptuous?"
Jimmy looked at the still dark sky outside the window, speechless.
According to Earth time, it is around four or five in the morning.
It was early in the morning and people were still asleep.
Gazef was the weird guy, he came directly to challenge me to a fight.
"Um… I thought you must have woken up." Gazef touched his head awkwardly and spoke.
"I asked the new recruits, and they all said you got up very early."
But it was obvious that Jimmy didn't get up early, but didn't sleep at all.
After becoming a vampire, he gave up the sleep that humans need.
"Well..."
Looking at Gazef who looked so foolish, Jimmy sighed helplessly.
Although because the anime has a limited number of episodes, there is relatively little portrayal of Gazef.
But after reading the original novel and combining it with the interactions with Jimmy these days, I know that this guy is a typical stubborn person with low emotional intelligence.
People like him are good material for warriors.
But when it comes to how he conducts himself or herself or even as a regent, he is far from it.
"Let's go."
Since there was nothing to do right now, they greeted each other and walked towards the training ground one after the other.
…
"One, two, three, four..."
Before they even entered the training ground, Jimmy and Gazef heard the command to count from inside the hallway.
Along with this, there was also the sound of weapons breaking through the air when they were swung.
There are actually people here at this time.
"I think I roughly know who it is." Gazef shook his head with a wry smile, walked in first and greeted them.
"Morning! Climb!"
Jimmy followed him in.
There was only one young man in the huge training ground at this moment, and the voice just now came from him.
At this moment, he was holding a heavy sword in both hands, standing there in fear and trepidation.
With short blond hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is none other than Golden Princess Renner's loyal guard and 'puppy' - Climb.
"Good morning, Warrior-Captain Gazef, and you…are you General Jimmy!?"
Although they had never met, Climb was in the royal city so of course he knew that Jimmy had moved in.
Recalling some of the descriptions of appearance that were passed down by word of mouth, such as handsome and outstanding temperament, he immediately guessed Jimmy's identity.
Jimmy nodded indifferently as a greeting.
We are now a privileged class, so there is no need to be overly enthusiastic with ordinary soldiers.
"I am Princess Renner's bodyguard, my name is Climb, Lord Jimmy, please give me your guidance!"
Compared to Jimmy's coldness, Climb's expression was enthusiastic.
This was not surprising. After all, Jimmy was about the same age as him, but like Gazef, he had become a powerful warrior that attracted the attention of the kingdom.
How could he not envy and admire her?
Another point is that Jimmy Ya, like him, only has a first name but no last name, which makes him feel inexplicably close to him.
At this time, Gazef also walked over and looked Climb up and down, as if to check his condition.
After a while, his brows furrowed.
"Climb, how many times have I told you this?"
"You should do what you can, Master Gazef."
It was as if the same conversation had been repeated countless times before, and Climb smiled wryly, as if he was familiar with it.
"Now that you understand this principle, you still..."
"I know. I know everything." Climb shook his head, looking sad.
"But as the guard of princess, if I have to work hard even though I have no talent..."
…
"Efforts should also have a limit."
At this time, Jimmy beside him interrupted calmly.
"Training at an intensity that doesn't match your body will only be futile and may even harm your body."
"Of course, if you do all this just to impress yourself, you can just ignore what I said."
Although these words were blunt, they exposed the pros and cons, as well as Climb's subconscious psychology.
Gazef nodded in agreement. This was what he had said to Climb before.
But I'm not very good at expressing myself, and I'm not particularly concerned about the latter, so I've always used the four words "do what you can".
After hearing Jimmy's words, Climb fell silent.
"Think about it carefully!" Gazef patted his shoulder and spoke.
"Then please move aside for a moment, we are going to practice against each other!"
"Huh?"
Climb, who had been silent at first, suddenly brightened up when he heard this.
The two people in front of us, if we don't count the adventurers, should be considered the two strongest people in the kingdom.
And now, they are actually going to practice against each other here!
Climb's face, which had just been distraught, became excited again.
Being able to observe the fight between the big guys up close is definitely a very beneficial thing for a small loser like him.
