Synopsis

Elric argues that the supposed dragon's nest at a volcano is incorrect due to mana flow principles, suggesting the actual nest is in Karagul Cave. He faces resistance from a professor who initially dismisses him, despite acknowledging the mana logic. Elric then makes a bet, offering to risk a valuable heirloom in exchange for resources to prove his claim and expose the professor’s flawed theory. The chapter shows Elric’s determination to prove his point and exposes tensions between him and his peers.
