If people learned of the Hitman Walker's backstory, they would realize that his bravado was not being faked. What was that one situation he found himself in more times than he could count, you ask?
Being surrounded by enemies, of course! Every time he attempted to assassinate someone, he got discovered, and before he knew it, he was cornered by a sheer number of hostile enemies, or gang members equipped with high-class weapons, or elite teams, whose members coordinated with each other brilliantly. Almost everything that could go wrong in an assassination attempt had gone wrong for him in the past.
That paled in comparison to the events that were unfolding right now; after all, to him, the candidates were just small fries! They were young, wobbly, and unable to give him a challenge even if they tried their hardest!
TL’S MUSINGS:
WHOA! I take my words back. The Alchemist Walker's test looks so fun! It’s got explosion and stuff, and that appeals to the seven-year-old part of me! Plus, the Alchemist didn’t say you can’t comply to Safety First Lab Rules while performing these experiments. Even if the worst happened, at least I went out with a bang! ...Or so they say!
> “The Scholar Walker can’t get married!”
Ha ha ha Baiyi! Come on now, mate! There's a time in a person's life— or even an entire type of people— who don't need their partner to be a libertine party girl with hot a** Korean lipsticks and skin so fair it can be flay to be used as road signs at night, or a macho man with abs as chiseled as the patterns of car tires completed with whatever masculine cologne YouTube kept suggesting me to buy, man.
I mean, the Scholar has a lot of hidden depths in her, right? She’s also the only mature one who had not been going gaga over you just because you two interacted over a long time! I’ll say she’s a pretty different kind of girl, man. Who cares if she’s not one to bare her skin, or feel safe enough to talk about her fantasies (uh-hem!), or even wear makeup?
Also, as an otaku... When you attack one of us, you attack ALL OF US! Mwahahahahha!
/lightning flashed, and that lightning is as bright as the skin of that aforementioned libertine party girl with hot a** Korean lipstick.
Note: Baiyi was referred to as the 'Great Unbending Sage' in chapter 395. This was a mistake, and it has been changed.
