Chapter 37 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 37

Encrid undergoes an intensive, repetitive training regimen under Ragna Zaun, repeating the same 'today' hundreds of times. Ragna, a genius who struggles to explain natural movements, uses sarcasm to teach Encrid the fundamentals of swordsmanship, including footwork, weight shifts, and the concept of the 'attack line.' Over the course of approximately 250 repetitions, Encrid's skills improve from being unable to chop firewood to mastering complex techniques like binding and various slashing styles. Ragna becomes increasingly suspicious of Encrid's rapid progress, questioning if it is magic. During one repetition, Encrid experiences a dream involving a Ferryman who calls him a foolish idiot for dying repeatedly. After waking, Encrid questions Rem about magic. Rem explains the distinction between common magic and witchcraft, noting that witchcraft requires a medium or sacrifice and originated in the western frontier. As the training reaches its 250th day, Ragna decides it is time for real combat. As the squad prepares for battle, Encrid observes the enemy formation and notices they are clustered around six flagpoles and banners. Suspecting these are ritualistic mediums for witchcraft, Encrid prepares for the coming assault. As a thick fog rolls in, Encrid relies on his keen hearing to navigate the battlefield.
