In this chapter, we learn that the original Valkyrie has been replaced by a "replica" of her, which means that she is not the original, but rather a "fake." Homura, who has been watching the fight, is shocked to find that his mentor is not his teacher, but an "impersonat" . Homura tells us that he knows everything about his opponent's sword-fighting style and weaknesses, and that his opponent is a "swooper" , a "wop," a "thrust," and a "lasher." He says that he has only one mentor and that the "merry copy" of his teacher is "unforgivable." He tells Homura that the fight is over and that he will find his mentor.
