As Sam walked before the waterfalls array, a deacon was there waiting, who appeared to be around 20 to 30 years old. The deacon had already been given advance notice. He told Sam, "Junior Apprentice Sam, you may go in. There is a one hour time limit. The array was especially for new disciples today. The difficulty has already been set at level seven. Are there any questions?"
'Mmm, what a troublesome fellow senior apprentice!' Sam thought, but he did not care too much.
This seventh level of difficulty corresponded to the ranks 110 to 130. His ranking of 126 was near the bottom of that. He would start from the foundation and then return for a more difficult challenge later.
