To start the quest, head to the Marmoreal Market waypoint and turn right. Then, take a left past Chartonus's Workshop to find a shield merchant named Kelok giving a sales pitch for his products. Challenge him regarding the strength of his product — and to no one's surprise — it will break.

Another craftsman, Kilik, will come forward to showcase his lances, claiming they are the best around. You will give the idea about testing out their products against one another and will be tasked to find an arbitrator who can review the entire thing.

Turn around and you will find Chartonus, who will offer his help by becoming arbitrator for the whole affair. Continue the conversation and both of the craftsmen's products will end up breaking. They will challenge you to test their products, but no matter what, the shields and the spears will not be matched by your baseball bat's might.

This leads to the exposure of Kilik and Kelok's scam and concludes the Contradiction side quest. Similar to other missions in the Amphoreus Annals like Elsewhere in Honkai Star Rail, you will be rewarded with 10x Stellar Jades, 2x Memory Crystal Shards, and unlock an achievement called The Trailblazer's Paradox.
