Synopsis

Lloyd engages in a duel with Sir Neumann, initially bewildering onlookers by wielding a shovel instead of a sword. He showcases unexpected combat skills, seemingly adapted from real-world hand-to-hand techniques and bayonet training, further enhanced by a skill boosting his stats while using a shovel. He then uses mana-based techniques, demonstrating training with Javier and support from his family, ultimately defeating Neumann by draining his mana with his unique approach to the 'Manaheart' skill. The chapter ends with Lloyd preparing for another physical confrontation, indicating the initial duel was only the beginning of the fight.
