Synopsis

The chapter begins with the Crown Prince unexpectedly arriving at the training grounds and condemning the special forces program as unethical. A low-ranked trainee volunteers for the deadly test, motivated by the chance to climb higher, while the Commander Instructor is forced to continue the program. The scene shifts to the demonic realm where trainees are quickly killed, highlighting the brutal nature of the test. The Emperor is shown to view soldiers as disposable, contrasting sharply with the Crown Prince's actions, and the chapter ends with the protagonist, now as a trainee soldier, vowing to gain power and get revenge.
