Unpleasant Mood

After he finished telling them everything, Gareth leaned back with a look of satisfaction on his face, only to jump when he saw Regis in the distance, smiling faintly at him.

The two rivals looked at him in confusion when they saw Gareth's smile go from something kind and sympathetic to slightly panicked and horrified.

His face changed so fast that they hadn't even gotten a chance to react to it yet when Gareth ditched them.

"Uh…" Gareth smiled at them. "Well, that's all for now. I'll leave you to it. If you don't want to suffer for long, then you better give up right now! But if you have the guts to continue, then you should stick to it…"

Wait, what? This was different from what he was saying just now? Previously he had been encouraging them to hold on, and that it wouldn't be too hard. He even described some of the methods that Regis would use in the future, allowing them to prepare themselves.
