In this chapter, Shanji and xiong talk about how they've been cultivating Shanji's strength. Shanji says that he's grateful to them for giving him such a good education, and Shanji asks him to make a bet with him on how long the kid can last. He says that Shanji looks like a guy who only has three minutes to live, but Shanji is the one who can last three minutes, so Shanji bets him three minutes. The kid is impressed by the kid's endurance, which Shanji thinks is pretty impressive. He also mentions that the kid is studying medicine, spellcraft, weapon repair, and cooking. Shji says that his brother is a great doctor, and that his other brother is also studying medicine and spellcraft. The only thing Shanji doesn't mention is that the flying mice are afraid of light and fire, which is why they don't like bright lights. He's shocked that this kid is so smart, but he also has confidence that he can beat the underdog. He thinks that if he had grilled the mice better, he could have sold them for a better price.
