Synopsis

The chapter opens with a discussion about chivalrous warriors, with the protagonist deciding to mentor one rather than embodying the role himself. He details his rationale, including his personal villainous tendencies and the need to protect his future disciple. The protagonist then engages in a conversation with a physician about his fighting style, his fear of insanity, and his personal trauma involving fire. The chapter concludes with the physician's perspective on chivalrous warriors being the "biggest fools" but also potentially the strongest humans.
