Chapter 52 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 52

Encrid participates in a duel against Torres, a skilled Squad Leader from the elite Border Guard. Despite the initial perception of Encrid as a low-ranking, unskilled soldier, he demonstrates exceptional skill, using instinct and precise movements to counter Torres's high-speed attacks. The duel becomes intense when Torres discards his shortsword for a dagger; Encrid manages to catch the blade with his palm to prevent a fatal blow, resulting in minor injuries to his hand and cheek. The fight is interrupted by Naidil, the 4th Company Commander, who prevents the duel from escalating into friendly fire. Following the match, Torres shows respect to Encrid, acknowledging his skill and formally introducing himself. This event serves as a major turning point for Encrid's reputation; soldiers who previously doubted him, including Bell, Vengeance, Andrew Gardner, and Mac, now defend his honor and recognize his true capabilities. While the battalion commander remains indifferent to Encrid's rising status, the general atmosphere among the troops shifts from mockery to respect. Two days later, while on guard duty with Rem, Encrid is approached by the commander of the 1st Company, the leader of the Turtle Heavy Infantry, suggesting a new development or meeting.
