Alicia went forward and stepped on the platform to find herself back at the starting point. She did not continue on right away, she stopped and thought for a moment before taking her sword and marking the set of stairs she had just tried. She then went to the set next to it and stepped on the first step. To her surprise, nothing happened and she could freely climb up them. When she reached the top she was left with three more sets of stairs to choose from. "If I am not wrong. If I choose the wrong path I will be forced to fight. But if I choose the right path I will not need to fight at all."
After figuring out the test to this point, Alicia then looked at each set of stairs closely. She wondered if there was a way to tell which set of stairs you could pass through without needing to choose at random. But after looking for a good while, Alicia frowned when she could not come up with anything. "Since I can't see anything what if I did this."
