Hard to imagine a greater insult than some people comparing this to SAO. I hope the author never had to hear such a line from Japanese sources.

Harold has been displeased by the performance of the hero party members from the beginning. From the game, he was Erica's fan, but he also knows she wouldn't be a huge asset in a fight, from what he had seen so far. Liner was much weaker than Harold expected. He didn't interact that much with Colette, but he could judge her to be incapable of fighting. Now this Leafa doesn't amount to much either.

Harold himself has been working as Justus's subordinate for a while now, and despite El calling Harold an inhuman calaminity and whatnot, Harold himself must still know that he can't fight Justus and win. So, witnessing Leafa being so weak should make him feel quite hopeless, seeing how he can't expect Liner & Co to show up any time soon to defeat Justus. In fact, since this isn't a game with Save and Load anymore, Harold might even suspect Liner's party will fail.

So he kills a dragon in 1 hit decapitating it then takes ages on the other killing it by inches? Seems weird that way.

Not gonna lie. These two side characters are hella annoying and add nothing to the story except for flashbacks.

Actually, they were probably only added so we could have the time skip and know what happened after the trial. And that's it, at least some of it.

And I find it very amusing when people claim that the author used SAO as inspiration, as this manga essentially implies that the actual inspiration for the world was the "Tales of" series. Do you guys really think that the only character wielding dual swords is Kirito? Come on, guys.

They are part of the playable story, so we obviously are going to see them again since the game is just beginning... They are not to just disapear and never come back.
Their apparition here serves as an introduction to who they are and their role in the story.

he cut one down with one slash and yet playing around with the other one, come on now Harold, stop trying to show off.

I think because the first dragon was severely injured from the flame attack so it went down in one hit.

This is literally the very start of the game; all the heroes are at level 1, there's no reason to be concerned yet.

He was already concerned years ago when he met Liner in combat during the fighting tournament. He basically had to encourage Liner repearedly to get a match out of the guy, and even then he ended it swiftly. Let's not forget at that point Harold still considered himself woefully weak as well, compared to how he viewed Harold should be. After that, he has been concerned by Justus accelerating his plans, which would leave Liner less time to get prepared. I'm not sure Harold knows how much time is left. He wouldn't logically be privy to Justus's plans. With any luck he might recognise some signs/events and be able to gauge something out of it.

he still spend sometime cutting the other dragon arm, wings and such before finish him off, i would say he should be able to cut down that dragon too in one hit
