Jerry, of course, is not a professional.
He hasn't even mastered the most basic "Battle Skill", only learned some basically useless tricks from the pirated Battle Skill Books sold by the crate in the grocery store.
His actual combat ability might not even be as good as the strong laborers at the Wave-breaking Pier who move goods every day.
However, being an orphan, he doesn't need to support parents, and being single, he doesn't have responsibilities towards a wife or children.
Without family ties, he naturally doesn't worry about his family being retaliated against after a fight, nor does he consider if anyone would be concerned if something happened to him during a brawl, or how the family could sustain without him as a pillar.
Those with a happy and fulfilling life always choose to avoid unreasonable provocations and conflicts.
This is why a skinny guy like Jerry, even among ordinary people, can be so brazen in the streets of the Saltwater District.
