Ep. 3: Corporate training trip turns into dungeon blackmail scheme

Shia, a Hero for Raiza ‘ha Corporation, recruits Kinji and Wanibe after finding a Philosopher's stone. The pair endure brutal conditioning at an island training center to boost loyalty. Kinji, having resisted brainwashing with special plants, helps Wanibe break free. They destroy the facility and kill the instructors using fire spells. Sent to Exploration Group 3, Shia supervises them but remains fiercely loyal to the corporation. When she attempts to kill Kinji’s favorite ant, Ant A, Kinji summons Rim for protection. After capturing Shia, Kinji photographs her with Rim and the Ant Queen. He uses these images to blackmail her into secretly working for his Dungeon Black Company, despite his earlier attempts to expose corporate exploitation.
