Chapter 13 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 13

After being unconscious for two days, Encrid wakes up in an infirmary tent to find bread and soup. As he recovers, he reflects on his recent battle, analyzing his performance and the effectiveness of his thrust. He recalls the teachings of an old swordsman who emphasized digesting the lessons learned from life-and-death struggles. Encrid contemplates his combat strategy, deciding to focus on a single, decisive thrust rather than relying on luck. As he recovers, various squad members visit him. A soldier with large eyes reveals he used his influence to secure Encrid's placement in the infirmary, providing him with a comfortable recovery. Jaxon visits and provides a medicinal ointment for Encrid's side, advising him to keep it a secret from the rest of the squad. Other squad members drop by with food or apologies, though some seem largely indifferent. The atmosphere changes when Vengeance, the platoon leader, enters the infirmary. Vengeance, who holds a grudge against Encrid, confronts him about his low skill level and his comfortable position in the infirmary. Despite Vengeance's visible anger and his own physical injury to his thigh, Encrid maintains a polite mask, subtly teasing the platoon leader during their encounter.
