Chapter 12

The twelvth chapter of Claymore by Norihiro Yagi, first published in the May 2001 issue of Shonen Jump.

Short Synopsis
A Yoma is easily slain by a long-haired, smiling warrior. The village chief thanks her and tries to give her the money but she simply says that a man in black will collect it later. When he worries that they might give it to the wrong person, she heartlessly says that the Organization will treat the situation as though the town never paid, meaning that they will not lend their aid again. The warrior meets a man in a black cloak, who gives her the next job. He reveals her to be Teresa, a warrior who can kill any monster using only the smallest amount of power. She reaches a village and appears to go berserk, killing people all around until they finally reveal themselves to be Yoma in disguise, hiding in that village and striking others. She kills six and takes care of the last one that uses a small girl as a disguise. As the Yoma falls back, the girl looks back at Teresa.
