Nah, ghost white, with hallowed out cheeks, and bags under his eyes.The scene where the instructor talks to (presumably) Girold without him being shown is kind of suspicious, considering he's nowhere to be seen anywhere else in the chapter either.
I half expect a reveal next chap of ultra-tan Girold or something.
I'd pay for options 2 or 1Three possible things will happen. Either they're one offs and we'll never see them again. They'll become a decent adventurer group and meet the MC later in the story with tales of their accomplishments. Or they'll run into the noble later and die off due to their stupid decisions, forcing MC to do something to avenge them. One of those three are usually what happens in these stories.
