Synopsis

The chapter sees Evan's alchemy lessons conclude, marking his graduation from apprenticeship. He, alongside the other pharmacy workers, heads to the bathhouse, a treat initiated by Bernard. Ryan, who was training separately, joins them, and it is revealed he will begin shield training due to a lack of weapon skill. At the bathhouse, Ryan receives a training shield from Evan, which leads to a dramatic reveal about "cursed men" and a cliffhanger.
