The challenge was based on a spanreed sent by the city’s minister who let them know there was a break of convicts, they were all guilty and had a tattoo on their forehead. The request was to find the guilty and execute them. While most of the squires and hopefuls started immediately to find and execute the convicts, Szeth stayed and questioned motives. He learnt this was a Reshi idealist population who had non-violent attitude even towards criminals and that the minister paid tribute to maintain facilities but mercy was withdrawn when they escaped. Just after that, he went hunting for a convict, he found and fought one, finding he has a knife but also notices he is thin, dirty and emaciated. Before letting him drown, Szeth also questioned him finding there was only one guard in the Fort. Once back, he sees other convicts and confirms that they were also badly fed, and probably under an internal regime, letting him to understand this was the result of a badly administered place. He asks if the list of guilty included the administrator and as he was the first in list, he draws his sword and kills him. With this he is allowed to swear the 2nd ideal, is able to draw stormlight and is chosen Ki to become his master. {{book ref|sa3|92}}▼
