If he continues to advance at the current rate, he will be unable to reach the twenty-first level of force. He is afraid that if he does not direct the tide to the third node, the progress of the tide will become stagnant and he will go unconscious. He asks if he is still awake, and he is told that the new recruits are leaving some for him. He tells them that he is taking the vice captain who just passed the exam fighting tactics. He says that the red scorpion army is looking for someone who will sacrifice his life for the empire. The red scorpion wants someone willing to sacrifice his own life. The vice captain is not willing to do that, he says, because he has no experience in combat. He adds that the rubbish in the army is not as good as the real fighter. The captain tells him that they should pay some attention to the chief, because they are not afraid of the man. He then tells the captain to make a bet with the chief on the future of the army.
