Synopsis

The chapter begins with an announcement of a production break for the manga. It then transitions to a swordsmanship examination where a previously recommended applicant, a commoner, displays exceptional skill, easily defeating his initial opponent. The instructors, shocked by the skill disparity and concerned about evaluating the other applicants, decide to alter the sparring format. Instead of a straight duel, the recommended applicant is instructed to mentor his opponent, focusing on teaching rather than defeating. The recommended applicant starts to provide tips, demonstrating a high level of skill and understanding of combat.
