bede actually has a very specific dislike for HAMMERLOCKE, of all places. mind you, i’d like to imagine there’s some kind of pre-existing rivalry between hammerlocke and ballonlea to begin with —— dragon and fairy types and all that. however, bede’s feelings are less out of good-natured competitiveness and more due to the SLEW of bad memories he has associated with the place. hammerlocke is, after all, where rose had him stay after his DISQUALIFICATION. ( hammerlocke is also the center point of the second darkest day, just to rub salt in the wound. )
he has vivid memories of wandering the city streets, feeling as though every set of eyes he passed were DRILLING into his back. it likely didn’t help that he obsessed a bit over his name trending on social media —— complete strangers who didn’t like his ATTITUDE openly celebrating his revoked status. ( forgetting that he was just a child. that he had worked himself to the BONE for it. ) even now, bede goes out of his way to avoid passing through hammerlocke whenever he can. it just leaves a bad taste in his mouth.
... also, on a more petty note, he thinks the architecture is ugly.
