Synopsis

This chapter focuses on two parallel storylines: first, the spreading rumors about Young Master Nox's dramatic change and newfound power, contrasted with Djitri's fall from grace within the Reinhafer family, culminating in her expulsion. Simultaneously, Nox ponders the nature of his relationships, emphasizing a transactional approach to interaction where mutual 'use' is prioritized over trust or friendship. Finally, Nox reveals he was the source of Djitri's negative rumors as well, and begins training, but expresses concern about monster availability for his continued power growth.
