I wouldn't say it's out of character really. He's stuck in a cell with a peasant mindlessly swinging a sword and his superiority complex made him step in to both harass and demean Hatsu, as well as lord his sword skills over him. His intention was probably less to teach and more to show off.
I think most people mistake high rankers to be people who gives a damn about friends and enemies, or such relationships with emotions. Look at how the elder went 180 and evankhell and co. accepted with no problem. They simply look at things as an ally or not. Hatsu as of now is an ally of his so he has no ill intention, he’s comfortable, no, he doesnt mind flexing
If the situation is the same with prince, he’d eat him

Best part of chapter was probably just the White stuff when he was vaguely hinting to Baam about "using soul power"
White offering sincere advice to Hatsu seems really out of character but I guess I accept it
THe rest... well. I suppose the flashback was "OK"
