Chapter 54 — A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 54

Encrid is approached by Torres, the platoon leader of the Border Guard, who offers him a position in the elite unit. Torres explains that the Border Guard consists of soldiers who have reached the limits of human capability through effort and talent. However, Encrid refuses the offer, realizing that the Border Guard focuses on efficient killing methods and irregular techniques rather than the foundational swordsmanship required to become a knight. Encrid reveals his true ambition: to become a Knight of the Red Cape. Torres warns him that he will regret his choice, but Encrid remains resolute. Returning to the barracks, Encrid finds a young black panther that has wandered in and caused chaos, including scratching Big Eyes. The squad members—Ragna, Rem, Jaxon, Audin, and Big Eyes—discuss the situation. When Rem questions his refusal of the Border Guard, Encrid declares his intention to become a knight. Instead of the usual ridicule, his squad offers various reactions, ranging from Ragna's fiery gaze to Audin's prayers for his perseverance. Encouraged by this support, Encrid continues his training. Two days later, while on market patrol duty, Encrid is suddenly and fatally stabbed in the stomach by a dagger. As he dies, the screams of a waitress are the last thing he hears.
