Synopsis

The chapter introduces the practical exam for transfer students, taking place in a hazardous labyrinth where students must retrieve treasure. We also see tensions between the school's principal, board chair, and a student trying to ease the tension between the two. The student expresses disapproval of the board chair's methods and reveals she is potentially manipulating the graduates and now targeting the school, while the principal grapples with the safety of the students. The chapter also sets the stage for a difficult exam as the students enter the dungeon, ending on some aggressive confrontations between students before the exam officially begins.
