In this chapter, we learn that the school is in the mud, and that it's run by an illegal chieftain named Wiji Lantang. Wiji is the only chieftain in the whole country who is allowed to run the school, and he's the only one who can stop the bad guys from using the school as a front to cheat the poor. He tells Wiji that he doesn't care what margo thinks of him, because he has already won a lot of fights. He's not as bad as margo, he says, because margo is not as good as he is. He says that Wiji's a "rare breed" around the country, so don't worry about him getting hurt, because that's what he meant when he said he didn't want the country to lose another school like this one. The school is run by spoiled urbanites, Wiji says, so why enroll there? Wiji points out that some of the students are still in high school because they've failed their grades. He compares the students at the school to spoiled, urban kids, and asks Wiji to help him change the fate of the school's students.
