Synopsis

The chapter focuses on Joshua and Agares, who are being publicly mocked for being an illegitimate child and a commoner respectively, with Amaru Brun, a member of the Sten family, particularly targeting them. Amaru believes swords are the only legitimate weapon and challenges Joshua to a duel using wooden swords in the upcoming practical swordsmanship class, which is approved by a professor. Meanwhile, Joshua's actions have piqued the interest of others, including those connected to the Imperial Prince, leading to a deeper investigation into Joshua's past.
