Synopsis

The chapter reveals the professor's true motive for joining the academy, which is to evade suspicion from the chancellor, and he enlists Saenida's help to appear less suspicious. Meanwhile, a first-year student named Aidan showcases remarkable abilities, using 'maneuver moving' and a rare form of anti-magic, defeating a noble student in a duel and drawing the attention of another professor. The professor was aware of Aidan's anti-magic, suggesting he knew more than he let on. The chapter ends with the professor and another character discussing a bet they had previously made and the professor not wanting anything from it.
