Synopsis

The chapter begins with an intense introduction of new students, including Issera, Dorothy, Leon, Nos, and Mailton, who are all successors to influential families. Their first day of lessons involves introductions and a practical demonstration where the instructor, Xeros, pits them against each other to assess their abilities. Xeros points out the importance of adaptability in combat and provides targeted feedback, highlighting the specific styles he observes and the principles behind them. Xeros also hints at underlying tension from past events and gives additional, special lessons to some of the students.
