Synopsis

The chapter focuses on the squad leader's return from a solo mission where he not only survived an ambush but also destroyed an enemy base. His growth is evident in his reflection on his past fights, his training, and his newfound determination to become a knight with his own set of values, rather than just following a traditional path. He grapples with the consequences of his recent battle, including the loss of squad members, and this fuels his resolve to become stronger. Meanwhile, his squad is left wondering about his whereabouts and somewhat anticipating his death.
