Synopsis

The chapter begins with various characters reacting to an adventurer, Jaeju, who has just sparred with a Taruha warrior. They are impressed by his abilities, noting he seems to be deliberately holding back. The Taruha commander, initially skeptical about adventurers, is intrigued enough to personally invite Jaeju and his companions on a trip, revealing his true purpose is to include them in his group. Jaeju is introduced to Centurion Leto and Kerune, who is noted as second only to the Queen in intelligence, while some others are very wary of the situation.
