Synopsis

The chapter opens with the Pilaf Merchant Association experiencing explosive growth, demanding a large influx of new hires. Meanwhile, a spar between Eren and Kashien takes an unexpected turn as Eren demonstrates a fighting style based on gentleness and control, not brute force, baffling onlookers. The spar is eventually declared a draw as Eren successfully uses a technique derived from the Star Xuantian Sword Technique, which leaves Kashien flustered and unwilling to continue fighting. Later, it's revealed that Eren is purposefully messing with Kashien psychologically.
