The scout academy is small, and Linzhongqing can't compete with the other students because he's from a special class. He challenges Lin to a duel, and the two argue about whether or not they're allowed to do so. Lin is serving a punishment for losing a battle to Linglan, and he doesn't want to lose another battle. He tells Linglan to go buy food, and when he gets there, he asks if they want to refuse him. Linglan tells him that they don't have to, because the tournament is their top priority. He's afraid that if this continues, he'll die before the mid-year tournament.
