Short Synopsis
At Teresa's threat, the bandit chief bursts out laughing, claiming that he can defeat her with his falcon sword. Teresa effortlessly blocks and dodges it, however, and kills him in a blink of an eye. Realizing that they cannot defeat a Claymore, the bandits try to flee. Some time later, Clare awakes on Teresa's lap, happy to see her and surrounded by the dead bodies of the bandits. All this is witnessed by Orsay, who takes Teresa and Clare back to the Organization for Teresa's execution. Though Clare begs them to spare her, the execution squad advances. All of them are struck down, however, and Teresa and Clare leave hand in hand. Orsay commands Numbers 2 to 5 to deal with Teresa.
