After Galatea leaves, Clare also proceeds on 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 Awakened Beings that gathered there. He also mentions that Raki has gone there, giving Clare even more incentive to go. Of course, Jean is sent along as well.

Once there, Clare is reunited with Miria, Helen, and Deneve. The twenty-four gathered Claymores divide into five teams, lead by Flora, Undine, Veronica, Jean and Miria. Later that night, Clare meets up with Miria, Helen, and Deneve in a nearby cave to discuss what has happened since their last meeting. However, Jean appears and is initially unwelcome (mostly by Helen) but is allowed into the group because of her half-Awakened status. Clare tells Miria, Deneve, and Helen about her encounter with Riful, but then asks about the northern mission's chancess of success. and are soon confronted by three Awakened Beings. They literally strike first and attack them in the town of Pieta.
