Summary: Cece introduces herself as the famous FUG Slayer, Red Tanager.

When she's told to hit the power/Shinsu measurer, she uses magic to enhance her power. She flicks the machine with one finger, being extra careful to not destroy it. Mistaking magic as Shinsu, the machine gives her second-place.

Wangnan Pov

I recognized the young woman that was being forced to attack my two loud-sex neighbours. She was the flamethrower lady that was the cause of my failure in my previous 20th Floor test tryout. But she's so strong. And you could tell by the hairband that she wore. The flamethrower was a member of the Yeon Family- one of the Great 10 Families. So why is she here? And what's her relationship with the purple suit guy? I wondered, unable to get my gaze off of the duo.

"Don't bother. Luckily for the two of you, I"m a fire-controlling Demon. Flames can't hurt me." The female- what's her name again? Cece? announced, making a tick mark appear on the purple suit's face.

"And as much as I'd like to suck the living soul out of your frail little bodies, I promised my boyfriend that I'd spend any free time I had with him," Cece said, smiling innocently.

"Plus, we aren't supposed to fight between Tests!!!" Goseng cut in, effectively stopping the fight from starting.

I let out a relieved sigh.

"The Floor test of the 20th floor is made up of two tests and one final exam. The test that you've all gone through is the first test. And the second test is this." Our Exam administrator, Ranker Love began to explain.

He revealed what seemed to be a punching machine.

"Using a Shinsu measurer, we'll be testing your ability to enhance your physical power using Shinsu. With this test, we'll be picking out the next eight Regulars that will proceed on to the final exam." Love explained.

For some reason, Cece paled slightly from her spot next to me.

"Hey."

Everyone's attention fixed itself onto the purple suit, who had his gaze wet on Cece. She blinked innocently, tilting her head in confusion. Her boyfriend glared at him.

"What?" She asked.

"Let's make a bet. If I rank higher than your depressing boyfriend here, then you'll leave him and come to me." The purple suit suggested.

"And if he ranks higher than you?" Cece questioned.

"He won't, but if he does, then I'll give you Yeon here." He replied, gesturing to the flamethrower woman.

"W-wha?! Why?!" Yeon argued, but her protests fell on deaf ears.

"I don't want her. I want him." Cece shook her head and pointed to a different male standing next to the purple suit.

He had short, military-style black hair with blonde streaks in them. He looked at Cece with an indifferent gaze, before letting out a small sigh.

"I heard that he's the so-called "Right Arm's Devil", who won against Hatsu. I'd love to keep him around... as a storyteller and a potential snack." Cece confessed, a devilish smirk appearing on her beautiful features.

"Fine. But you'd better be ready to warm my bed tonight." Purple suit declared haughtily, giving my two loud-sex neighbours a sly smirk.

Unfortunately for the purple suit, Cece's boyfriend had ranked first with 134K points. Cece ranked second with 98K points. Purple suit had... 25K. There's too much of a difference between us and them, I realized. Cece chuckled darkly at the purple suit's lost expression.

"Since you lost, I'll take Mr.Right Arm's Devil, as promised." She said, snickering.

"Oh, and by the way, Viole is much cuter and lovable than you. So don't ever call him depressing."

Purple suit bristled angrily. Despite his anger, Cece only seemed to grow even happier at the sight of his discomfort.

"But that's enough of that. Now that the second test is over, let me officially present to you-"

.

.

.

"The famous FUG Slayer "Red Tanager", and my boyfriend, partner, and fellow FUG Slayer Candidate, Gyu Viole Grace."

The name "Red Tanager" made my brain freeze. Everything fell silent around me as the seriousness of the situation became clear.

A true FUG Slayer was amidst us.

And not just any Slayer.

It was the Red Tanager.
