The chapter opens with a display of force as one character kills multiple bees, seemingly as a test of another's abilities. This leads to a conversation about the required strength to be a subordinate, highlighting the killer's high standards and questioning the value of loyalty versus power. The scene shifts to reveal a larger context: the testing ground is actually a demonic cult's training facility for infiltration and assassination. The true nature of the test is revealed to be finding 'pass' bees amongst others, with a hidden objective.
