Synopsis

Lena practices a new fighting style inspired by a knight she faced, while also noticing a sinister aspect of her uncle's swordsmanship. Later, she and a comrade face a powerful knight, and though injured, manage to force a retreat. Impressed by their efforts, Prince Arnold appoints them as junior knights, significantly shortening their path to knighthood, and the chapter ends with a rematch between Lena and her friend, now a platoon leader.
