Koon Pov

I looked around, looking for Cecelia. Where did she go? I wondered, looking for the white-haired girl. When I found her, she was talking with a black-haired guy about my age, a pink blush on her pale cheeks. A strange emotion started to churn in my stomach, my heart feeling as though it had fallen to the ground.

"Cecelia!!" I yelled, running towards the girl.

After a few minutes, we walked back, Cecelia waving goodbye to the black-haired boy.

"Cecelia, who is he...?" Baam asked tentatively, fearing for her answer.

"Oh, him? He's-"

"--I'm your Test Administrator. My name is Lero Ro." A man with bright blonde hair spoke, getting everyone's attention and causing the entire room to fall silent.

"That man... he's amazing," Baam commented, Cecelia explaining to him how the man was a Ranker and what a Ranker was.

Cecelia at least seems to know the basic knowledge around here, but Baam... it's weird. According to what he told me, he's stayed with Cecelia for a while now. So how come she has the basic knowledge but not him?

"More of you passed then expected. We'll have to do some culling." The Ranker spoke, looking around the room.

"Culling?" Someone asked, the Ranker holding his hand out towards us.

A ball of blu light condensed in his hand. That's- Is he trying to kill everyone?!

"Shinsu?!" I muttered, feeling its harsh wave pushing me to the other end of the room.

"Correct," The Ranker spoke, creating a wall of shinsu in front of us.

"Shinsu is the source of the Tower's power. We're able to breathe thanks to this water. Everyone within this Tower uses this water to fight. Any team that passes through this wall Without succumbing to the shinsu's strength passes. Everyone else fails." The Ranker explained.

"Team?! What if one of us can't get through?" A man argued.

"You fail."

"That's messed up!!" Others complained.

"What you need most to climb this Tower is luck," Cecelia spoke, somehow managing to speak the exact same words as the Ranker at the exact same time.

The two looked at each other, surprised. But what was even more surprising was the fact that she was inside of the shinsu wall. And not only her- Baam was inside, too!!

--- Third Pov ---

Two monsters have entered the Tower... and one's not even human. To think that her kind still existed to this day... although it's not very surprising. Lero thought, continuously glancing at the albino female.

"You two can have fun. I'm going to rest..." Cecelia muttered, sitting down beside Baam and laying her head on his lap comfortably.

"While we wait, why don't we make a bet to pass the time? We'll guess who will pass through the wall of shinsu first." Lero asked, gazing at Baam and Cecelia.

Cecelia had her eyes closed, silently enjoying the feeling of Baam's fingers brushing through her long hair.

"If you're right, then I'll answer any question you want." Lero continued, glancing at the sleeping female on Baam's lap.

"Really?" Baam questioned, surprised.

"Yes. But if I win, you'll answer mine."

"Okay." Baam agreed, focusing his attention to the other regulars.

Somehow, the two tied, having bet on the same regular. And they were both right. The lizard-girl passed through the wall first, which led the conversation to a series of questions and answers.

"Baam!!" Koon greeted, causing Baam to stand up happily, greeting him and Rak.

"Oop. Careful there, Mr.Baam. You almost dropped your girlfriend." Lero spoke, having caught Cecelia before her head had hit the floor.

"AH!! Thank you!! Cecelia, are you all right?! I'm so sorry!!" Bam apologized profusely, only to realize that she had actually fallen asleep.

"Baam? What's wrong with Cecelia?" Koon asked, staring at the female.

"I think she fell asleep... what should we do?" Baam asked, only to have Rak hoist her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.

"Well, since that's taken care of, let's continue on," Koon commented, the four heading to the next room.

"The Third Test will take place here."
