### Summary
This chapter centers on the polarizing antagonist Rovenin, the "red-haired guy," whose reappearance has ignited intense reader animosity. The source of this hatred is a duel from nine years prior, recalled as a deeply unfair fight where he brutally defeated a much younger Geenie and nearly destroyed her water spirit, Undine. The chapter's pivotal revelation is that Rovenin has recently lost a duel to an unknown opponent and almost died. This news is met with widespread satisfaction and a sense of karmic justice among the readership, though some express disappointment that Geenie was denied the chance to defeat him herself. Despite the near-universal condemnation of his unrepentant, "battle junky" personality, many readers grudgingly admit he has become physically attractive, creating a "hate him but he's hot" conflict. Geenie remains fixated on avenging this past loss, a motivation that some readers criticize as a sign of her continued immaturity at age nineteen. This fuels rampant speculation about the story's romantic direction, with the audience overwhelmingly rejecting a potential "enemies to lovers" arc with Rovenin and instead championing the prince, Ash, as the rightful male lead.
