Chapter 20

The 20th chapter of Claymore by Norihiro Yagi, first published in the May 2001 issue of Shonen Jump.

Short Synopsis
Priscilla asks Teresa why she did not submit to her execution since she broke the Organization's rule, which she believes must be held up. Teresa simply answers that the real world is not so black and white. Priscilla lunges at her and they begin to battle, Priscilla able to fight on a par with her. On the sidelines, Irene explains to a marveling Noel why Teresa is called 'Teresa of the Faint Smile'-that it is her only visible defining aspect but she is an expert at reading Yoki and predicting what the enemy will do. Thus, fighting Priscilla will be a challenge for her. The battle escalates and Teresa begins to overcome her as Irene draws her sword.
