### Summary
The current chapter escalates the tension as Yessica, still disguised as Kenny, engages in a sparring match. Demonstrating her formidable skill, she decisively defeats her opponent, who is immediately labeled a "sore loser" by readers. In a shocking turn, the defeated combatant retaliates by drawing a real steel sword, despite the duel's supposed use of wooden ones, and attacks the triumphant Yessica. This act of aggression creates a moment of high peril, with fans speculating that the sword might cut her bangs and finally reveal her face. However, the true climax of the chapter is Alex's reaction to this imminent danger. As the blade threatens his companion, he is heard crying out the beginning of her true name: "Yessi." This verbal slip confirms for the audience that he has, at last, fully recognized her identity, a breakthrough that follows his recent dawning suspicions. The chapter ends on this dramatic cliffhanger, with Alex's realization occurring in a moment of mortal peril, leaving Yessica's fate and the consequences of her exposed identity unresolved.
