In this chapter, Master Jitsu explains that he has suffered a defeat at the hands of his second master. He plans to resign from his position in the sect and leave the martial arts. He tells his friend that he is disappointed in the world of martial arts because it is a place to hone one's willpower, but when he becomes a true martial artist, he begins to doubt whether or not the martial world is real. He has even wondered if the older generation of martial artists really existed. He is grateful to have been sent to a medical center, where he has been given medicines to treat his blood loss. He says that if they meet again, he will be friends.
