A Fine Piece of Bluffery

Shaking Hilla was a good step, but the Cygnus Knights must continue to believe that you are as powerful as you once were. At your level, you could barely handle a mushroom...

That hurts, Gaston. You know I used to be a very high level. It's not my fault the Black Mage cursed me!

It actually was your fault, master. Regardless, the important thing now is to reach your level before anyone notices what a hopeless weakling you've become.

You are just nasty today! But you have a point. I'll get back to my training, despite the fact that I have no desire to do so. I'll show these new people that I am still the greatest thief of all time!

Of course, master. I have already prepared a batch of creatures of your level at the Training Center. It should be a good test of your abilities.

In the Training Center, you will find the utterly terrifying Orange Mushroom. It may not appear to be much, but do not overestimate its stout frame... hehehehe...

Certainly you don't have anything more important to do...

How was the training, master?

I'm... so frustrated...

Frustrated?

Yes! How am I ever going to get back to my previous level at this rate?!

...hehe

I had totally forgotten about the difficulties of being weak! I never liked training! It doesn't suit me...

Master, please, you are making me laugh...

Don't you dare! Don't you dare laugh at my plight! I will make the Black Mage rue the day he cursed me!

Master, you have been given a new chance at life. Do not sit here and wallow in the fact that you'll have to do a little bit of hard work to make it more enjoyable.

You still haven't gone to the Training Center? I believe you created the Training Center on the Lumiere for times like these.
