In this chapter, the alchemists discuss the final round of the tournament. The first round was won by the "old b* stard," and the second round by "the kid" . The kid won because he made a superior elixir than the other alchemists, and he will be the one to be eliminated in the final. The old alchemist, however, managed to stay in the tournament because of his blood, which he used to make the elixir. He is now in a bad state because of this, and the kid is certain that he won't be able to beat him in the upcoming final.
