Synopsis

The chapter opens with a fight where a seemingly weak E-Rank mage utilizes swordsmanship, which is seen as unusual for mages. The mage's strategy is to distract the enemy while preparing his magic, proving to be a skilled combatant. Despite being underestimated for his rank and profession, he demonstrates impressive speed and precision, leading the opponent to suspect he's 'Reawakened,' which explains his hidden strength. The chapter ends with a superior hunter acknowledging the mage's skill and decides to teach him a lesson, setting the stage for a future encounter.
