### Summary
The reader community remains intensely divided over the resolution of the hazing arc, with Captain Kaillou's punishment of Judith serving as the central point of contention. A vocal portion of the audience defends the Captain's actions, arguing that docking Judith's pay for fighting a superior was a fair application of rules within a strict, military-like hierarchy. This group largely shifts the blame to Adjutant Desian, whose failure to report the abuse he witnessed is almost universally condemned. Conversely, many readers criticize the punishment as unjust victim-blaming, pointing out that Judith only retaliated in self-defense after prolonged assault and that her past life trauma justifies her distrust in authority. Amidst this debate, a significant romantic subplot has emerged. The current chapter highlights Captain Kaillou's clear affection for Judith, showcasing his awkwardness and attentiveness. In a key development, he circumvents his own official punishment by providing Judith with a blank check for "medical treatment" to offset her pay cut, an act that some praise as clever and caring, while others view the burgeoning romance as forced. The controversy has polarized the readership, sparking heated discussions about the command structure's competence and the execution of the main relationship.
