Synopsis

The chapter begins with a conversation hinting at a collaboration between the Catholic Church and Borameh, potentially for nefarious purposes. The academy festival's group match is announced with a strange objective involving rescuing stone doll 'civilians', quickly followed by a chaotic start where the main characters display their different approaches to the challenge. Finally, Hwaran's past and her possession by a beast is brought up by her relatives, leading to a request to include her in the individual match to prove her control, a plan which the academy administration is considering.
