Synopsis

The chapter focuses on Burren's training group participating in a raid against increased monster numbers, with the protagonist analyzing the situation instead of participating. While the trainees struggle with the chaotic battle, it is revealed the protagonist has a dark past and recognizes the presence of the demon Eden, whose goal is the Goblin King's mana stone, which is linked to an urban legend of a hidden jewel and a red gem found by the village chief and buried under his house. The protagonist seems to be strategizing with this knowledge, indicating a hidden agenda in his apparent inaction.
