The group tracks down the bandits but are forced into a fight. Because they are known for their skill in combat, Kvothe bonds with Tempi, learning his language and following his daily meditative stretches called the Ketan. Kvothe meets the mercenaries, among whom is an Adem fighter named Tempi. The same day as this fight, Alveron asks Kvothe to lead a group of mercenaries to track down bandits that have been killing his tax collectors. During this time, Kvothe reunites with Denna and their relationship flourishes until they fight over a song Denna has composed, which references a member of the Chandrian in a positive light.

This culminates in Ambrose turning Kvothe in to the authorities for breaking his arm the previous semester, claiming he consorted with devilish powers.

Secretly, he searches for information about the Chandrian, the legendary figures who were responsible for his family’s death. In the past, Kvothe continues to pursue his education at the University, where he learns both practical skills and magic.
