After Galatea had left, Clare also proceeds her journey, followed by Jean who owes her, after she was saved. In the forest Rubel and Rafaela confront Clare and Jean, and Rubel gives Clare the mission to go to the northern lands along with twenty-three other Claymores to hunt various of Awakened Beings that gathered there. He also mentions that Raki has gone there, giving Clare even more incentive to go. Once there, Clare is reunited with Miria, Helen, and Deneve. Jean is sent to the north as well. The twenty-four gathered Claymores divide into five teams, lead by Flora, Undine, Veronica, Jean and Miria and are soon confronted by three Awakened Beings. They literally strike first and attack them in the town of Pieta.
