Apparently almost dying after being betrayed by your childhood friend and developing trauma from the experience is "edgy". But this is also the same crowd that go "Why don't you just murder him! I would have!" whenever a modern MC doesn't go murder hobo on anyone who looks at him wrong.I don't understand why people are calling this edgy. The dude is broody at best.
i guess we'd be on edge if that happenedI really like the memes at the end maybe add edgy jokes or smth, but still the time skip was like so bad
He just wants to be left alone. Literally. So his people skills are kinda wack. This ceremony was a requirement to be accepted as S rank (and getting missions).

He is already rich beyond measure from monster hunting alone.Even his refusal was tinged with inexperience.

Fun fact: I was listening to the song on repeat, while I was translating this chapter.I love that you named Hyce “Pumped up Kicks” amazing
He knows his limits and dangers of his blessing, so I wouldn't say that he is overall inexperienced, but he is inexperienced in escorting and fighting in a party.Even his refusal was tinged with inexperience. He could absolutely emphasis that working with a solo adventurer who doesn't do escorts is very different from a full party, but that might be hitting his pride.
