Synopsis

The chapter opens with a character named Alex seemingly hesitating in battle, while another character, likely the antagonist, mocks his slowness. Suddenly, a new group of individuals arrives, effortlessly defeating the soldiers present and evading attacks from the antagonist. They question whether the newcomers are associated with other powerful families or if they might be dragons, but are quickly rebuffed. One member of the new group displays an unnerving power upon smiling.
