Synopsis

The chapter begins with the introduction of a forked road dungeon trial where teams compete to clear it as fast as possible. The focus then shifts to the individual characters' interactions, particularly Anthony's resistance to teamwork and the abrasive nature of a healer named Whitaker. A new character, Choi, is introduced and takes a seemingly reckless approach to fighting, utilizing a strange sword and displaying a very independent combat style. The chapter concludes with the team facing a monster encounter, revealing their inability to cooperate and Anthony and Choi's tendency to ignore orders.
