While Seth is impressed by Adam's bravado, Adam reveals his cowardice at the end of the story and lies to Seth about why he couldn't intervene in the fight, making it clear to Seth that Adam is a compulsive liar. Adam would be what is called an unreliable narrator. This can make the story interesting if the writer is good but often the reader might dismiss a character like Adam altogether.
