### Summary
Following Sir Oliver's dramatic victory using a newly unveiled "aura" ability, the narrative shifts to the strategic aftermath. Readers overwhelmingly celebrate Oliver's ascension, viewing his intense training with Ian as a definitive payoff that has elevated him to "MC material" and a potential "Sword Master." His development solidifies the power of Crown Prince Hayden's faction. Ian Paige, in turn, has decisively dealt with the Tower Master, delivering what readers described as a "malicious" monologue that showcased his cunning, "sly boy" nature and prompted speculation that he might take over the Tower himself. The fate of the defeated female assassin, Helene, has become a point of contention among readers, who debate whether her harsh punishment was justified given she was brainwashed, or if she was a willing participant seeking revenge on Ian. These events are seen as a major political blow to Ian's ultimate rival, Ragnar, as Ian's "family"—now including the alchemist Douglas—grows into an untouchable force. The reader response is dominated by admiration for Oliver's new status and appearance, significant shipping between the male characters, and a general appreciation for the plot's focus on power progression over romance.
