「 High-Ranker 」

"Then I have no choice but to stop you here."

* Shine *

Bright golden light formed a sword in Kira's right hand, with a sharp look, he fearlessly looked at Yuri.

"Pffftt, hahaha, for an ordinary regular, you have such guts that you dare to challenge me like that." Yuri said, Kira just continued to look at her with a sharp and analytical look.

Kira doesn't have the confidence to win against the woman in front of him right now. Yuri then turned back and waved at Kira.

"Well, because a Ranker like me is forbidden to hurt a Regular, I can't fight you, come and face me when you become a Ranker like me." Then Yuri stepped on her feet and walked away, but ...

* Fwuosh *

* Cling *

Kira's sword of light glided with incredible speed and was stuck in the ground in front of Yuri, seeing that Yuri raised her eyebrows. even the Endorsi and Anaak widened their eyes because of the stupid action done by Kira.

"I will not let you disturb this test, even if you are a Jahad's Princess " said Kira, 5 Gold-colored baangs hovering behind his back.

Meanwhile, Yuri turned her head and said in a cold voice, making everyone scared.

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm begging you," said Kira.

Seeing that Yuri was silent for a moment, she then said to Kira while walking toward him.

"I thought why did you insist on blocking me from leaving this place ... Did Hansung Yu force you to do this?"

Hearing that, Kira looked into the eyes of Yuri who is currently in front of him, Yuri looks much taller than Kira who is only 1.7 meters high. So, Kira looked up slightly while staring at Yuri.

"No, this is my own will, I don't want Bam to fail because of you." Of course it was a lie, and Yuri realized that.

"You have a good look, but your big sister here does not like a liar," Yuri said touching Kira's nose using her index finger.

Hearing that, Kira suddenly grabbed Yuri's wrist using his left hand and said.

"What a coincidence that I hate lying too."

"Hmm?"

Yuri was confused as to why Kira said that with a confident face, but she suddenly felt Shinsu's flow in her body falling apart and her body lost strength in an instant.

"Eh?...Ack!"

Yuri vomited a blood and was still confused why suddenly Shinsu in her body disappeared in an instant and she could not breathe or even stand up.

Yuri thought, there should be no deadly technique like that, and she had never even heard of its existence.

Seeing that, Kira put on a serious face. The technique he just used is one of the few techniques using his Chaos Energy, which is by injecting a little Chaos Energy from his body into someone else's body so that the Shinsu in that person's body is messy or even vanished. This technique requires direct contact, so it is quite difficult to use in actual combat.

Of course the person will not die, because when Shinsu in their body disappears, then Shinsu from outside will enter to fill the empty spots, even though the speed of Shinsu's entry depends on each person.

Kira then murmured while forming Chaos Baang in his hand, because in order to bind Yuri who possessed Shinsu's technique, strength, and manipulation far above him right now, Kira needed Chaos Energy to keep her from moving.

"Forgive me Ha Yuri Jahad, but you must not disturb this plan." He muttered softly, but suddenly a white light struck Kira with terrifying speed.

Seeing that, Kira reflexively canceled his intention and used the five Bangs on his back to create a five-layer light Shield.

* Crack * * Crack * * Crack * * Crack * * Crack *

'Shit! What the hell! '

* Fwuosh *

However, the Fifth Shield was eventually destroyed and made Kira fly because of the wind produced by the white light alone.

* Tap *

Kira flew tens of meters before he regained his footing, and stared at Yuri who seemed to have been able to stand even though it hadn't been 2 seconds since Kira used his technique on Yuri.

Seeing that, Kira thought as if he saw a monster.

'What a monster, was that just the blow she hit? Even though it hasn't been 2 seconds since I injected Chaos Energy to her body, am I underestimating her because I only injected very small amounts of Chaos Energy? '

Yuri then slightly wiped the blood that came out of her mouth and said to Kira.

"I don't know what you did to get rid of Shinsu in my body even a moment earlier, but you were the first person to hurt me for a long time, I can't even remember the last time I was injured. You have to be proud of your achievement, little boy."

Then, Yuri's right hand became fiery as her red eyes looked at Kira with a sharp look.

"But because you have dared to hurt me, you should also be ready if you are hurt."

Kira then widened his eyes as Yuri aimed her fist at him. Yuri then waved her hand while saying.

"Nuclear Punch !!!"

* Beam *

" What the f*ck? "

Then the terrifying energy that looked like a laser beam aimed at Kira, Kira then formed a compressed Chaos Baang in the palm of his hand and threw it right in front of him to eliminate the red beam that was pointing at him.

"Chaos Baang: Annihilation Zone."

Then Shinsu's flow of air was distorted and vanished, as the transparent purple ball instantly erased all of the terrifying Shinsu's flow caused by Yuri's previous fist.

'Alright, now I will eliminate my form by using light magic. '

But, right after Kira thought so, he felt a whisper from beside him.

"I have a lot to say to you, little boy."

Kira widened his eyes and when he looked sideways, a very hard punch aimed right at his stomach made him vomit blood.

"* cough *"

* Crack *

Yuri's punch immediately made Kira's body hit the ground very hard and make it crack, he also felt some of his ribs broken after receiving a punch from Yuri.

Of course, Yuri restrained herself with her blow just now, otherwise Kira would die on the spot and and his body that had only been fed by Shinsu for several weeks would be destroyed.

The atmosphere then became quiet when Kira could not do anything, his body could not be moved and only resignedly laying on the ground. Then Yuri said while walked toward Kira.

"I must admit your ability to control Shinsu is extraordinary for a E-Rank Regular, but you are still very amateur in battle, you don't have the right experience or martial arts techniques to fight."

Hearing that, Kira could only agree in his mind, then Yuri squatted beside Kira and said with a serious face.

"But I want to ask you one thing ... where did you learn the two previous techniques? Techniques that can eliminate Shinsu in an instant, where did you learn it !! ??"

Kira who heard that just smiled.

"Do you think I'll tell you?"

Seeing Kira's smile, Yuri was annoyed and a blue vein appeared on her forehead, she then said.

"Hoho ~, so you don't want to tell me ... is my previous punch still not enough?"

Hearing that Kira just smiled wryly and said.

"That's more than enough, Ms. Ha Yuri Jahad."

Seeing that, Yuri paused for a moment before she sighed.

"Shessh ~ this is why I don't like fighting with weaker people, I feel sympathy for them."

'Weak, huh? ' Kira can only stare at the ceiling of the cave while thinking about his current strength.

Suddenly a loud noise from the Net Dolphin Madame could be heard indicating that the Examination this time was over and the Regular succeeded in escorting the Net Dolphin so they could collect Fish for Net Dolphin Madame.

Hearing that, Kira sighed.

'* sigh * Hopefully you don't mess up your plans, Hansung Yu ... You have told me to do crazy rights like arresting this monster, I will not forgive you if you fail to recruit Bam. '

While Yuri who heard that clicked.

"Tsk, because you're keeping me here, the test has been completed without me knowing, If something bad happens to bam, then the person I will first visit is you, little boy."

Hearing that, Kira flinched then smiled bitterly and thought.

' Ah~ I'm dead. '

Then, Yuri cleaned the dust on her skirt and walked away from Kira's place, she then glanced a bit at Anaak and Endorsi who from the beginning watched the two of them fight in silence.

Yuri then said.

"Take him away, a lot of his bones are broken and he can't move right now."

Hearing that the two of them just nodded, Yuri then went to check on Bam's condition. While Anaak and Endorsi approached Kira to check on his condition.

And with that, the Final Examination on the second floor has been completed.

***

The next day, the news of the death of Twenty-fifth Bam was officially announced by Lero-Ro, now the Regular is being gathered in a certain room to find out who passed the final exam.

And surprisingly, they all graduated thanks to Bam. Before starting the test, it seems like he advised if he died in the final exam, then the other Regular must be passed.

And with that, the atmosphere of mourning enveloped the Regular, who were hardest hit by Bam's death were Endorsi, Rak, and Aguero.

Although Aguero still tried to behave as usual. And surprisingly, Yuri didn't come to Kira and instead, send him a letter.

And now, in Kira's room in the hospital, Hansung Yu was seen sitting in a chair while sipping his coffee.

After a 12 hour break, finally with incredible recovery speed, the wound on Kira's body had closed and his broken bones had begun to heal.

He is currently seen sitting while looking at the view outside the building through the window.

The atmosphere of silence was then broken down by Kira's voice.

"Is Bam okay?" Asked Kira, Hansung Yu who heard that answered with a smile.

"Are you worried?"

Hearing that Kira just put on a flat face and muttered softly.

" I have no idea. "

Kira then glanced at Hansung Yu who continued to smile while enjoying his instant coffee. He then asked.

"Did you enjoy watching me get beaten to the ground by that monster?" Said Kira.

"Hahaha, of course not, how can a teacher calm down when he sees his student on the verge of death like that," said Hansung Yu.

Seeing that Kira just said.

"You disgusting man."

Hearing that, Hansung Yu as usual just smiled and said to Kira.

"But after that battle, you will find out how far your power is different from them, the monsters in this tower."

Hearing that, Kira then turned his gaze towards the imitation blue sky created by Shinsu, he then said.

"Yeah."

Kira suddenly remembered something he wanted to ask from the beginning to Hansung Yu.

"Oi coffee addict, do you know the place of the greatest blaksmith in the tower? On what floor does he live?" Asked Kira thinking of his Apocrypha.

"Greatest blacksmith huh ..., in this tower there are many great blacksmiths, but there are two people who are unmatched in the field of weapons, namely Ashul Edwaru and Macseth. Especially the old man named Macseth, rumour said that he was the one who created one The only weapon with Rank S + in the tower, the sword belongs to the head of the Arie family, White Oar... But, why are you suddenly asking about this ...?" said Hansung Yu.

Hearing that, Kira was excited.

"Then how can I see them?"

Hearing that Hansung Yu said with a smile.

"I don't know, because it's been a long time since the two of them appeared in public, so no one knows where they are now."

Hearing that, Kira was disappointed.

"So that's how it is ... too bad."

Seeing disappointment on Kira's face, Hansung Yu then said.

"However, they are both incorporated into an independent organization founded by Macseth himself."

"Organization?" Kira tilted his head.

"That's right, the name of the organization is The Workshop," Hansung Yu said.

"Then where is the headquarters of the Workshop organization located?"

"It is said that the Workshop has a total of 7 headquarters throughout the tower, and the nearest headquarters is Archimedes, which is on the 30th floor." Said Hansung Yu.

"30th Floor, huh ... it's too far, I have to get strong as soon as possible," said Kira.

Hearing that Hansung Yu smiled and said.

"Well, don't be in such a hurry, does the fight with Princess Yuri make you excited?"

Kira just quietly heard Hansung Yu's words, saw that Hansung Yu then said.

"But I've heard that somewhere on the 12th Floor, there is a branch headquarters of The Workshop run directly by the children of Macseth."

Hearing that, Kira's eyes Kira's eyes sparkled.

"12th floor, huh ..."

Hansung nodded, then Kira was seen smiling as he looked back at the blue sky.

***

After that, the Regular were given a break for a few days before they were finally collected into a large Altar that would send them to the next floor.

The faces of the regulars looked lethargic and lackluster, none of the regulars seemed to smile after final examination.

"All Regulars, it looks like you are ready to go up to the next floor. Thank you for your best efforts in taking all these exams."

Hansung Yu then seemed to give the blue ring to the Regular, seeing that Kira immediately destroyed it using Chaos Energy into nothing.

He then glanced a little at the Rea beside him, ahe seemed enthusiastic about using the ring. Kira just keep quiet even though he already knew what the ring was given to the Regular.

Rea who brought Chosinseong on her waist then glanced a little towards Kira.

" Kira-bro, I hope you don't forget your promise to become a Wave Controller on my team."

Hearing that, Kira did not say yes but instead said.

"If you really insist, then you must follow my speed to climb the tower, because there are some things I must do."

Said Kira who slightly glanced at the Apocrypha in his hand. Hearing that, Rea just smiled and said.

"Of course, after all, I'm the white lightning, Arie Rea," Rea said.

And Kira just kept quiet and ignored Rea's actions. After that, Hansung Yu's voice was heard again.

"Then, since I have given this ring to you, now is really our time to separate."

Then a red light began to envelop the regulars who would immediately be moved to the next floor.

"I hope all of you are blessed on your next trip, Goodbye, Regular."

And with that, the regulars from sector E13 were moved to the next floor, and began their true journey.
