Chapitre 27: Chapter 27 "Family Industry" (Seeking Chase Reading)

The allure of an aristocratic title and a fief was stronger than the appeal of the Breathing Technique to these people.

After all, even if they trained in the Breathing Technique and became an Official Knight, within the Kingdom they would only hold the title of Knight, whereas this auctioned item directly conferred one the rank of a Baron Aristocrat.
