Chapters 16 through 21 were mostly about how all of WIll's old "roommates" meet at the fair on their free day. Horace and Will get in a fight and resolvee to finish it some other time since the battleschool master stopped it. A few days later, Will and Halt find a farmer who is looking for a wild boar. That sequence turns into a massive boar hunt that Horace and the other boar hunters attend as well as Will, Halt, and the Baron himself. Will saves Horace's life and they agree that if the other person needs help, they had each others backs.
