Hazuki and Ying Yueru climbed the Tower at a steady pace. They are, at least, clearing a floor every week they stayed inside the Tower. Of course, Hazuki could move faster than that but he changed his mind and decided to spend his free time touring the Tower.
They toured each of the floor's Outer Tower, Middle Are, and spent their time climbing the Inner Tower. Hazuki made the deal with the twentieth-floor guardian.
Most of them retained their arrogant attitudes, probably because it's their nature, but they tried to come into an agreement with Hazuki. They agreed to his 'Revolution' and decided to cooperate for the betterment of the Tower.
Of course, there is still the minority in disagreement with his 'Revolution' but through time, he was able to persuade them. The contract consist of leaving their floor alone which means that Hazuki must not try to do anything that can harm their floors.Those that agreed gave him partial access to the Shinsu on the floor. Due to that, Hazuki was able to hasten his Shinsu absorption rate.
Hazuki is already at floor 30 in three months. By this amount of time, Hazuki perceived that Jahad's empire seems to have let down their guards.
That's because Hazuki wasn't injuring the Floor Guardians anymore. Well, they think that the chaos is just settling down but what they don't know, is the fact that the Chaos is just beginning to swallow their playground called 'Jahad's Empire'.
After five days of staying on the 30th floor, Hazuki finally decided to meet the Floor Guardian. "Contact the Floor Guardian."
His consciousness was brought into the familiar dark-colored space. The Floor Guardian was in front of him and he is a Humanoid monster. He had gills on his neck and his arms each has a fin attached to it. His teeth were zigzagged completing his 'Humanoid Shark' look.
"30th floor, Floor Guardian, do I still have to take the test?" Hazuki asked.
The Floor Guardian replied. "No, you don't need to. I just want to converse with you for a while." The Humanoid Shark seems to be mild-natured, seeing that he's willing to converse with Hazuki.
Hazuki 'sat' down, then asked. "Okay, what kind of topic is it?"
The Floor Guardian then continued. "Why are you so obsessed with changing the Tower as it is now? Aren't the residents of the Tower satisfied under Jahad's rule? Why are you trying to force a 'Revolution' that might just take millions of lives in the process?"
'Ah, here we go again... These righteous types of Guardians are the most troublesome to deal with...'
"This Revolution is necessary to improve the quality of the Tower. The residents of the Tower will not be involved with my 'Revolution', I am going to change the Tower by myself after all. The only casualties that the Tower might have are Jahad's forces." Hazuki casually replied.
How could millions of lives be lost if he's the only person going against the Jahad's army? This is Hazuki's thoughts.
"Moreover, would you rather continue the current status or try to change it for the better?"
The Floor Guardian remained silent for a few seconds before replying. "Of course, improving it is better since we are the 'Keepers of the Tower', we always strive for the improvement of it. But your actions seem to be done on a whim, don't you think? Based on the 2nd floor's guardian, you arrived on his floor just four months ago. How could you develop that kind of passion for the Tower when you have only stayed here for 4 short months?"
How could you possibly know how to improve the Tower when you have only stayed here for a few months? I can understand it if you had lived here for, at least, a thousand years but 4 months seems to be too short for a coming up with the decision for a 'Revolution'. These are the Floor Guardian's thoughts.
Hazuki chuckled and said. "I might have only stayed here for 4 months, but I have already been observing the Tower for a few years without anyone knowing. I have witnessed most of the happenings inside the Tower and I found the Rankers to be pitiful since they can only rot after climbing the current top floor. They have no choice but to become Jahad's soldiers or become test administrators, they have no more goal in life since Jahad stole that goal."
The Floor Guardian's face twisted for a bit at the latter part of Hazuki's words but he immediately calmed himself. Of course, Hazuki noticed it and he immediately changed his thoughts about this Floor Guardian.
'Looks like he's not that mild-tempered after all, it's all facade. I guess sharks will never change their attitudes wherever you go...' Then Hazuki added. "Are we done? Can you give me the blessing now since I still have to climb the Tower."
The Floor Guardian finally couldn't hold himself and growled. "I'm not giving you any blessing or some sort! You can kiss that chance goodbye since you won't be able to escape this place unscathed. Moreover, your current location is now surrounded by Jahad's forces. Some family leaders even personally came just to capture you or take that girl hostage!"
Since the Floor Guardians are connected with Jahad and the 10 great family leaders, they also have some kind of unique way of conversing. They can contact each other with the pocket anywhere in the Tower.
Hazuki was stunned as he heard the Floor Guardian's words. 'They... surrounded our current residence?! This treacherous Floor Guardian! Just hope that Ying'er is not hurt, or else, I would raze the Jahad's Empire to the ground tonight!'
Hazuki couldn't sense the outside world while he's here since he is in a separate space. Moreover, it looks like that this floor guardian got some kind of help from the other Floor Guardians to prevent him from sensing what is happening outside.
The Floor Guardian suddenly created a massive Trident made of pure Shinsu and shot it towards Hazuki.
*Boom!* Just the speed of it was enough to create a sonic boom and it immediately arrived in front of Hazuki.
*Bang!* The Shinsu struck Hazuki head-on and drowned his figure in it.
The Floor Guardian roared in laughter as he shouted. "Looks like you are only that strong! Those lower-floor Guardians must be out of their mind to lose against some Irregular like him!"
Suddenly, the surroundings turned chaotic. The air suddenly ignited, sparks of lightning streaked across it, the winds howled in all directions and the Shinsu itself seemed to be angered.
The Floor Guardian stared at Hazuki's figure wide-eyed and he couldn't help but feel a lump stuck on his throat. He couldn't say anything but fear was evident on his face.
That's because Hazuki is standing in the same place, unharmed. His aura is also rampaging around creating multiple phenomena inside its massive range.
'Just what is he?! A Hwayeomsa, Jeonsulsa... Did he learn all of that in his short 4 months in this Tower?! Moreover, that insane Shinsu Control... He's basically on the same level as us!' The Floor Guardian couldn't help but feel apprehension cover him as he stared at the fearsome aura that Hazuki is releasing. (A Hwayeom is able to convert Shinsoo into fire and flames for use while a Jeonsul is able to convert Shinsoo into electricity or give it electrical properties.)
Hazuki was staring at the Floor Guardian with wrath, obviously burning in his eyes. Even though he can always beat them down, Hazuki is still enraged that they dared plot on him.
He's also annoyed at himself since he let his guard down due to his fulfilling life these past 3 months with Ying Yueru. He took their current peace for granted and he became lazy with their security.
'Looks like I have to visit Repellista Jahad in the future to teach her a lesson...' Hazuki thought. It's obvious that only she could track him down so accurately and quickly due to her owning the strongest Lighthouse in the Tower, the Opera.
Even in the original series, Repellista Jahad was able to gain knowledge about almost everything. She was even able to locate Bam's accurate location.
She has her eyes on almost every floor and Hazuki even suspects that the Opera could access all the Lighthouse in the Tower.
Then Hazuki stared at the Floor Guardian, who's cowering in front of him. He said, "Looks like you are quite the scheming b*stard, huh. What I hate the most are schemers since they always find trouble with me..."
The Floor Guardian's knees nearly buckled when he saw Hazuki walking towards him with killing intent burning in his eyes. 'He's seriously going to kill me! What should I do? What should I do?!' He is panicking since he couldn't force Hazuki out of his personal space.
Suddenly, Hazuki appeared in front of him and smashed him with a hammer-shaped Shinsu.
*Boom!* The Hammer-shaped Shinsu directly smashed the Floor Guardian. The Shockwave is so strong to the point that the whole vacuum around them shook intensely.
The Floor Guardian was bloodied but he is still alive. Hazuki didn't exert his full-power after all. He can't let this Floor Guardian die without absorbing his authority over the Floor's Shinsu.
"P-please... don't kill... me..." The Floor Guardian weakly muttered, begging for his life with his remaining strength.
Hazuki didn't even accept his pleading and absorbed his authority. A few seconds later, Hazuki robbed the Floor Guardian of the Shinsu control and he became the overlord of the Shinsu on the 30th floor.
Of course, he wasn't planning on staying in this vacuum like this Floor Guardian.
He then returned to his body and found out that numerous fleets of floating ships are surrounding their residence. Hazuki and Ying Yueru are currently staying on the 50th floor of a skyscraper. He could sense that they are the only people within a few kilometers radius excluding those floating ships.
Hazuki directly flew out of the window and faced the Leading Floating Ship. Mounted atop of the said ship is a white-haired man, his hair was freely flowing along with the wind. He's currently observing Hazuki with curiosity in his eyes.
Ying Yueru was tied on a chair right in front of Hazuki and 'Arie Hon' has a sword just a few centimeters from her neck. But no fear could be seen on Ying Yueru's face and she was just calmly sitting there without struggling.
Well, even she didn't see this coming. After all, she couldn't calculate Hazuki's destiny meaning, she also couldn't predict things that will affect him directly.
Beside Arie Hon are people of the same status. The Blue-haired, Khun Eduan, the brunette-haired, Poe Bidau Gustang, and a golden-haired beautiful woman, shooting him cold gazes. They are the 6th, 14th and 7th on the rankings.
Khun Eduan is currently trying to talk with Ying Yueru, probably trying to flirt with her. But Poe Bidau Gustang is looking straight at Hazuki with analyzing eyes.
Poe Bidau Gustang is wearing a smart white tuxedo with black lapels, a dark grey shirt underneath, and a black-tie. He's also wearing a glass that enables him to see the surrounding Shinsu better.
As he gazed at Hazuki, Poe Bidau Gustang was shellshocked. That's because he can see the Shinsu assisting him. They are docile around him and he could also feel the slight sense of rejection from the surrounding Shinsu. 'He... did he gain authority over this floor's Shinsu?!'
All of them are observing Hazuki quietly, that's also the case for Adori Jahad. She's wearing a Grand-looking light armor adorned with a white-colored cape decorated with embroidery designs on her shoulders.
She's looking at Hazuki with clear animosity in her eyes. 'So he's the reason why there's chaos among our ranks... To think that so many top-rankers have to intercept him on this floor...'
Hazuki was staring at them with annoyance and slight amusement. 'Hm... Arie Hon looks frail with his thin frame and Poe Bidau Gustang really does look intelligent. Well, as expected of the person responsible for the pioneering of Shinsu.'
Then he looked at Khun Eduan, who's trying to flirt with Ying Yueru, with a dangerous look. 'Khun Eduan, to think that an old man like him dares to flirt with Ying'er... I'll teach you a lesson, you b*stard.'
'And this woman... For her to be able to stand with the Family leaders... Based on her clothing, she should have a high-status within Jahad's army... Ah, she's Adori Jahad, Commander-in-Chief of Zahard's Army as well as the captain of Zahard's Royal Guards...'
"Irregular Hazuki, will you surrender peacefully or forcefully?" Arie Hon said calmly. He's confident since he has a hostage in his hands.
"The Jahad Empire must be shaking on its boots due to my existence, right? To think that Jahad would deploy Top Rankers such as you Arie Hon, Khun Eduan, Poe Bidau Gustang, and Adori Jahad." Hazuki said with a smirk. He wasn't worried about Ying Yueru's safety since he's sure that no one could harm her in his sight.
"Shaking or not, you are destined to die due to the disturbance you caused in the Tower. You are a threat to Jahad's rule and your actions may lead to the demise of millions of the Tower's residents." Adori Jahad said righteously. She's a peacekeeper and she doesn't want chaos and unnecessary casualties.
Hazuki nearly laughed at her words then he replied. "Even if all of this Tower's Rankers cooperate, you all wouldn't be able to beat me so don't talk like you are superior to me, you'll regret it."
Suddenly, the Shinsu around Hazuki spiked, and different phenomena occurred inside his aura. Thunder strikes, Flames, Sharp Winds, even they could feel the searing temperature threatening to burn them alive.
They immediately reinforced themselves with Shinsu and gathered a certain amount of it as a defense. As they did so, they were stunned because the Shinsu seems to be unwilling to help them. They might've been able to raise a barrier but it was sub-par compared to their usual.
They stared at Hazuki in shock and Arie Hon shouted. "What the hell did you do to the surrounding Shinsu?!" He couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine as he thought of a possibility.
Even Khun Eduan stopped what he is doing and stared at Hazuki grimly. Of course, as one of the Tower's pioneers, he knows what this means. Only the floor guardians have authority over the floor's Shinsu. Due to them being Irregulars, they are able to control the surrounding Shinsu freely even with the Floor Guardian maintaining authority.
But this time, the abnormality is on a whole new level. It's as if someone is commanding the surrounding Shinsu to avoid them and the feeling is completely uncomfortable.
"What else? I killed the floor guardian and robbed his authority over the Floor's Shinsu. But don't worry because this floor wouldn't turn into a floor of death since it still has a floor guardian, which is me." Hazuki chuckled as he declared their fears.
Arie Hon, Khun Eduan, Adori Jahad, and Poe Bidau Gustang were shocked senseless at Hazuki's words. 'He killed the floor guardian and became the floor guardian himself?! How is that possible! The floor guardians are already here even before we entered it and their existences were connected to the Tower itself! How could he steal something that is directly connected to the Tower?!'
"Did you know what you just did?! You will ruin this floor because of your wickedness! Why would you even kill a floor guardian that is created by the Tower itself!" Adori Jahad shouted. Wrath could be seen in her eyes and her expression.
Poe Bidau Gustang is alarmed due to Hazuki's words. 'It's actually possible to do that? Should I experiment this with the 2nd-floor guardian?'
"No need to waste your time talking to him, Jahad's princess. He will surely surrender since we have his beloved as our hostage." Arie Hon said as he unsheathed his sword, the White Oar, then placed in a few centimeters away from Ying Yueru's neck. "Will you surrender peacefully, or do we have to kill your lover first before killing you?"
Hazuki's eyes turned cold and he immediately created a powerful barrier around Ying Yueru's body. The barrier was definitely sturdy since Hazuki created that with a few hundred strands of his Heavenly Chakra.
Then he immediately released 20% of his powers.
*Boom!* Hazuki's aura, which is the mixture of the rampaging Shinsu, his Heavenly Chakra, and the heat from his Ultra Instinct smashed onto everyone's bodies.
*Bang!* The thousands of Floating Ships were immediately blown away and the nearest ones were melting at an insane rate. Every Ranker on the Army immediately fled in all directions without caring for the punishment they will receive after their desertion.
Well, that's only natural since losing their lives is infinitely scarier than a punishment that may only be imprisonment or exile.
"Arie Swordsmanship: tenth-stance, Tower Cleaving Sword!" Arie Hon unleashed his sword strike together with Khun Eduan and Adori Jahad.
Arie Hon's slash may be simple, but Hazuki could feel the most threat from it. It should be because it's an unavoidable slash and its power is concentrated. Arie Hon's slash cleaved the 'artificial' clouds in the skies.
Khun Eduan also unleashed one of his strongest attacks, he directly released 'Mago' and manipulated it together with his Shinsu control technique. "Dawn of Lightning!" Numerous amount of Baang's numbering in the hundreds. His attack seemed to be a natural disaster and the surrounding area immediately turned into a lightning field with him as the center.
Numerous lightning spears also appeared and it immediately blotted the skies blue.
Adori Jahad summoned her Arms Inventory and released her weapon, the 'Golden November'. It's a golden-hilted sword with a golden-colored Shinsu enveloping it. "Ignition!"
*Boom!* Her sword suddenly emitted a strong golden flash similar to Jahad's golden-colored Shinsu. She then slashed it thrice towards Hazuki, creating a huge flying slash shaped like an asterisk that covered almost the ground up to the skies.
All of their attacks struck Hazuki dead-center.
*Boom!!* The impact was strong enough to disrupt everything on the floor. The residential skyscraper behind him has been turned into dust long ago and their attacks' shockwave could be felt even at the edges of the floor. The space surrounding them became unstable and was nearly torn by the combination of attacks.
But their attacks couldn't even disperse the aura surrounding Hazuki and was turned into nothingness the moment they touched Hazuki's body.
The three attackers immediately felt chills crawling in their spines. 'Even Jahad has to defend against such an attack combination...! What kind of monster is he to endure that with his physical body?!'
Even though those attacks only contained nearly half of their powers, they were still shocked as they saw Hazuki enduring it with his physical body. 'Just why did the Tower allow a monster like him to enter!?'
A few seconds later, the phenomenon caused by their powers settled. Hazuki was still standing in his place, unfazed by their attacks. Of course, how could he be affected by attacks such as those? He already had complete resistance to Shinsu and his physical body is already monstrously durable due to the amount of Heavenly Chakra they are sheltering.
Arie Hon, Khun Eduan, and Adori Jahad retreated beside Poe Bidau Gustang, who's also flabbergasted.
They found that attacking Hazuki would be useless since they wouldn't be able to defeat him anyways. He can already endure 40%+ of their full power and he is still unfazed, attacking him while knowing this and the fact that he's already the floor administrator would be dumb.
'We can still use Shinsu, so that means that he's allowing us to use it... Damn b*stard, he's toying with us!' Khun Eduan thought.
All four of them have grim looks and they immediately used Ying Yueru as a hostage. Adori Jahad placed Golden November a few centimeters away from Ying Yueru's neck then she looked at Hazuki like she already won the game. "Surrender now, Irregular! Or else, this woman's head separate from her body!"
Suddenly, a vortex appeared on the spot where Adori's Golden November was aiming. Ying Yueru's figure was slowly sucked inside the vortex but Adori and the others couldn't do anything about it.
They attacked it but their strikes just phased through her and they could only helplessly look at her disappear.
"What, don't tell me you lost confidence because of losing your 'Hostage', which really isn't your Hostage in the first place?" Hazuki taunted as he directly released Ying Yueru beside him.
Seeing Ying Yueru beside Hazuki, the four of them confirmed their assumptions. 'He has an annoying space ability...! Moreover, he can use it on his whim!' The four of them couldn't even sense the slightest movement from Hazuki, that's why they are slightly caught off guard by his Kamui.
"Don't be overconfident, Irregular, you haven't won yet. You might be able to beat us here on a lower floor because of your authority but this is as far as you go. Once you went higher up the Tower, you won't be able to kill those stronger Floor Guardians anymore." Arie Hon stated.
He was thinking that Hazuki only won against them because of his authority over the floor's Shinsu. They thought that Hazuki was only slightly stronger than a lower-tier floor Guardian and they are confident in beating him on the 60th floor and above.
That's because, on every floor, the Shinsu concentration becomes denser. Denser Shinsu means a stronger Floor Guardian since they are the sovereign over that massive Shinsu concentration.
"Retreat!" Arie Hon declared.
Although dissatisfied, Khun Eduan and Adori Jahad obeyed Arie Hon. They already accepted that they will be at a stalemate here in the lower floor. They wouldn't be able to beat Hazuki but they are also confident enough not to lose against him.
Fighting this kind of battle is useless since they wouldn't gain anything. Furthermore, the intensity of their battle would definitely alert FUG and they don't want those lunatics to benefit from this. Of course, FUG might still reap benefits here since they might just ally themselves to Hazuki, the Irregular.
A violet-colored crystal suddenly appeared in Arie Hon's right hand. It glowed as it was infused by Aire Hon's Shinsu and their group was enveloped by a violet-colored mist.
*Flash* Arie Hon, Khun Eduan, Adori Jahad, and Poe Bidau Gustang disappeared in a flash of light.
Hazuki and Ying Yueru were left on the battlefield, staring at the devastation around them. He looked back then said, "Looks like we have to ascend now since we don't have a place to stay anymore."
Ying Yueru nodded and replied. "Yeah, that's true." Then she suddenly laughed in a mirthful manner. "By the way, being a Hostage and experiencing being a damsel on distress for the second time actually excited me. Hehe." Ying Yueru said as she remembered the thrill earlier.
She knows that she wasn't in any real danger so she enjoyed that experience like riding a roller-coaster. Dangerous and intimidating but fun and adventurous at the same time.
Hazuki also chuckled and he rubbed Ying Yueru's head with affection. "Yeah, that's right. You shouldn't fear those kinds of things, it's time for you to experience what kind of life I have been experiencing in other realms!"
Ying Yueru nodded with a smile plastered on her face and she hugged Hazuki.
Then Hazuki created a portal to the next floor and entered it with Ying Yueru attached to his body.
As soon as they got out, Hazuki and Ying Yueru were greeted by the bustling market for the Regulars. Stalls featuring many kinds of food and items were installed around the circle and many Regulars are searching through them.
Outside of the bustling market was a large, green land with slightly tall grasses. Every time the wind blows, the grasses would sway bringing their fresh smell towards the 'Shopping district'.
Many people were laying down on the grass and some of them are laying beneath the shade of the trees, resting their tired bodies and minds after the exhausting tests.
"Wow, the scenery on each floor never fails to surprise me..." Ying Yueru muttered. She observed the Regulars and she suddenly stared at Hazuki. "Hazuki, why don't we participate in the tests too? It's too boring when only you get to have all the actions." Ying Yueru stated, her tone sounded like a grumbling kid who didn't get to play.
Hazuki chuckled and replied with a wide smile. "Okay, we'll participate. But you have to do most of the work since it's too unfair if I played with the Regulars. At least it would just be unfair when they are up against you."
Ying Yueru's eyes sparkled and she narrowed her eyes delightfully. "Okay, that's fine! I'll show you the progress I have in training all of those Shinsu control techniques you gave me!"
Then both of them got a room in the residential area and rested themselves. They weren't really that tired since those events are just chores for them. As for the responsibilities being the 30th-floor guardian, Hazuki left a clone there to deal with the contracts regarding the Regulars.
That floor would be no different from the Floor of death if the Regulars couldn't make a contract and clear the tests. Hazuki also kept the rules administered by the Floor Guardians since he found it troublesome to create new ones.
A few days later, Hazuki and Ying Yueru participated in a test called, 'I wonder who'.
At the start of the test, each team has to draw a lot in order to decide their roles. The two positions are, Hunter and Prey. Fifty teams will be participating in the test and 15 teams will have the 'Hunter' role while the rest will be 'Preys'. The teams participating cannot attack the other teams indiscriminately because the purpose of this game is 'Information/ Clues gathering and Deduction'. Once a team intentionally harms the other team, they would be disqualified and they have to take the next test.
Of course, it wouldn't be a test without fighting and that's the reason why the test administrators gave them roles. Roles have a large importance in this test because occasionally, there will be blackouts in the stage. During these blackouts, the 'Hunters' can attack the 'Preys' as much as they want in order to eliminate them. Of course, the 'Preys' can also eliminate the 'Hunters' by knocking them out or killing them.
The 'Hunters' identity will be concealed with a mask provided by the test administrators. But, the 'Hunters' can only wear the specially made masks after collecting the batteries scattered around the mansion.
"Everyone, be careful in collecting these batteries since they might just give the other teams evidences." The Test Administrator warned.
And once the lights returned, fightings are forbidden again. If the 'Preys' suspects a team if they are 'Hunters', they must give at least two pieces of evidence as to why they suspected the team. If the shreds of evidence are accepted by the test administrators, then a trial will occur. A trial will be held between the 'Suspect', a term used to call the team who's accused, and the 'Innocent', a term used to call the team who gave evidence after suspecting another team.
They will be placed in a random room inside the stage to know whether the 'Suspects' are 'Hunters' or not. If they are 'Hunters' then the opposing team would pass the test if they defeated the 'Hunters'. And if the 'Suspects' aren't 'Hunters' then the 'Innocents' will be penalized by becoming a 'Hunter'. Thus, becoming a target for everyone once the opposing team revealed it.
That's one way to win the game, and the other way is to; find the escape portal hidden in the testing area. Well, it's slightly more complicated than just fighting it out with each other as most of the participating Regulars' said. (Basically a modified version of the game 'Deceit'. Well, I thought it's befitting to be called a test and I'm sorry if my explanation is a little messy.)
Well, Ying Yueru was slightly annoyed since she couldn't exercise her newfound strength freely. 'I have to wait until I am attacked in the blackouts?!'
Two hours in the game, Ying Yueru gave up and decided to cheat. She used her [Heaven's Divination] to calculate the destiny of everyone and cheated through what she saw. If she saw that this team is a 'Hunters' team, then she would sabotage them and play with their lives.
All of the 'Hunters' were traumatized by an unknown individual. They were beaten up during the blackout and their occupations have been revealed to everyone, causing them to be hunted every blackout. Of course, only a few teams managed to pass through the use of the trial since most of them don't have acceptable evidences. The 'Preys' were also traumatized by the test since they had spent almost a day just to find the escape portal.
Of course, Ying Yueru also saw the portal through her calculations and she could've won very quickly and easily. But why would she spoil the fun by getting out of the test immediately?
During the test, Hazuki didn't help Ying Yueru but he suggested a few ways to traumatize the 'Hunters' such as hanging them in the ceiling with just their underwear on, and burning their hairs, and carve a tattoo 'Hunter' on their bald heads.
Of course, Ying Yueru rejected it since she thought that it's too 'Violent'.
In the end, Hazuki and Ying Yueru passed the test in 5 hours. Then they returned to their hotel room to rest their minds and bodies.
