This chapter's epigraph comes from a famous poem by a famous swordsman. In the poem, the swordsman says that his goal in life is to defeat his opponent, but that if he fails, he will lose his hair. This is a reference to the fact that losing one's hair is the same as losing everything. The swordsman tells the audience that he is afraid that his opponent is one of the "one in a million" swordsmen. He says that he has met one with "amazing swordsmanship" many years ago, and that someone like this isn't even one "in a million." He adds that he can't save his hair, because he is too strong. The swordman asks if they can fight together, and the two men agree to do so. The two men argue about whether or not they should pay for the fight, but the swordman points out that money is the "key to unlock the seal" . He explains that he will not draw his sword if his opponent does not pay. The men agree that they will fight together. The silver moon reminds the men that they are fighting for the title of "Fat Swordsman" , which will soon be well known.
