In this chapter, Ragueneau and his friends discuss the events of the previous chapter. They have just won a tournament in which they challenged the top three fighters in the town. The tournament winner, a swordsman named dirapek, has returned to challenge the top fighters in town, and he is the one who has won the tournament. The swordsman, who is still in his "human realm," has been warned by abner that he is a "mighty foe" and that he should take the challenge seriously.
