No Hesitation

'Still, no matter how sudden this way is, at least this is more of a direct method of convincing.' Though the girl's response was concerning, Darcel still found this moment as a sudden blessing.

If they still had the same mentality during the time before the Mercenary Exchange Event, both Aniela and Masami would unhesitatingly rise to this challenge. 

Hell, Darcel was sure Masami would be the one pushing to fight first.

But now they're overly cautious, almost to an overt degree. He could very well understand why, though. 

All of their fights have just been on the heavily suppressed side until just recently.

And even when they triumph over that undead Ice creature, they won, but they still managed to get injured in the process. 

The undead Ice creature at most had half-step Heavenly Transformation prowess yet, it still gave them some trouble.
