Chereads / My Second Chance in Life. / Chapter 61 - Encountering Yuri and Evan.

Chapter 61 - Encountering Yuri and Evan.

The next day, Hazuki made a clone and had it teach Bam whatever Shinsu control he has. He plans on training Bam with it since his talents became even more tremendous. His monstrous talent in the past became even more powerful and he can now easily master Shinsu control techniques. Of course, Bam is still far behind Hazuki in terms of talent.

Hazuki also gave Bam a manual on how to use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' using the Shinsu. It should be easier since Bam could make use of the surrounding Shinsu to create marks. He wasn't planning on teaching him directly and he wants to let Bam learn it by himself through the manual. Hazuki can use the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' because he has a vast knowledge of jutsu's, but he prefers to use the 'Yomotsu Hirasaka and the Space-time portal' since they are more suitable to use for Long-distance teleportation. He doesn't need to teleport in short distances now since he can achieve such a feat with his speed alone.

Hazuki left that clone also because of Jinsung Ha. Both of them can spar with each other with the latter absorbing most of the technique Hazuki uses. Of course, the learning isn't limited to martial arts since Hazuki also taught a few to him such as the Shinsu version of Kamehameha and a few more that are suitable for martial artists.

After that, Hazuki and Ying Yueru bid them farewell then returned to the 62nd floor. Once they arrived, they went to the middle area and walked around the plaza since the place was really peaceful, according to Ying Yueru.

While they are walking, Hazuki suddenly sensed a familiar presence on the floor. The aura was located just a few kilometers away from their location and they seem to be using the maze-like paths to skip floors.

Hazuki turned to Ying Yueru and said. "Ying'er, can you feel it too?"

Ying Yueru was puzzled then she closed her eyes to search what Hazuki felt. Her perception slowly increased from a kilometer around them to 10 kilometers then she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Oh, that's Yuri Jahad, right? Why, do you want to meet her and possibly get her?" Ying Yueru said with a strange smile on her face.

Hazuki's lips twitched at Ying Yueru's tease then he replied. "Of course not, you alone is enough. Who would've thought that you're a tigress in bed..." Hazuki only whispered the latter part but it's still enough to be heard by Ying Yueru.

Ying Yueru blushed and she couldn't help but give Hazuki a strong pinch on the side. "What?!"

Of course, this action wasn't enough to hurt Hazuki and the latter only stared at her with a taunting smile. "What? You wanna bite me? Maybe later since this place is quite populated."

Ying Yueru's face was red due to embarrassment and annoyance. After hearing Hazuki's words, she replied. "Oh, is that so? You should sleep outside of the hotel later since you do look like the type to do those things outdoor."

Hazuki chuckled as he responded. "Are you sure? You can still change your mind since you might feel lonely sleeping alone later~."

Ying Yueru turned her head and ran ahead by herself, deciding not to argue with Hazuki since she might just suffer another loss.

Hazuki laughed at her then followed after her, heading towards Yuri and Evan's auras. A few minutes later, Hazuki and Ying Yueru arrived in front of a large gate. It's tightly closed and a few armored men are guarding the entrance.

As soon as they got near the gate, the man that seems to be the Leader of the guards came forward and said. "Please show us your Ranker license."

The Ranker License is an identification card that proves that a person is a Ranker. The stairways that can be used to skip floors can only be accessed by Rankers so they are guarding it in case a Regular sneaked.

Hazuki and Ying Yueru were not Rankers so all they could do was make everyone unconscious and pass through the gate themselves. In just a few seconds, Hazuki and Ying Yueru finished the task and entered the door.

They stared at the maze-like paths in front of them that will eventually lead them towards the other end of the maze. Even while they are here, they can see a portal-like exit on the other side. It's emitting a pale golden light and the other end of it was completely indiscernible.

Ying Yueru and Hazuki looked around before the former grasped the latter's arm then said. "What are you daydreaming about? Aren't we going to meet them?"

Hazuki shook his head with a smile as he gazed at Ying Yueru's puffed-up face. "Yeah, let's go."Then Hazuki used 'Yomotsu Hirasaka' to arrive beside them. As soon as they arrived, they immediately heard Yuri's annoyed voice.

"Hey, shorty! How long do we have to climb just to arrive at the next goddamned floor?!" Yuri Jahad said after smashing the gigantic Rock Golem with her fist.

Evan Edrok's head popped a vein as he snarled back. "I'm doing my best Princess! This is already the fastest way!"

As soon as Yuri Jahad landed on the ground, Hazuki appeared beside her. She was shocked that someone suddenly appeared beside her and she immediately backed away, placing herself beside Evan.

The person before her should be more powerful than her or he has a bizarre item. If it's the first scenario, then she could immediately flee with Evan beside her but if it's the second scenario then she would just beat this person's ass!

She gazed at the person in front of her and she was stunned. "Hazuki?! Ying Yueru?! What are you doing here? It's just five months since you started climbing the Tower! And, both of you should just be in the 30th+ floors according to the latest news about you!" Even she has heard of the 30th-floor incident and she was shocked that Hazuki could come to a stalemate against 3 of the Top-rankers.

Even Evan Edrok was shocked since it should be impossible to climb up to the 62nd floor in just five months! There's an interval between tests and even if he could pass it quickly, he should still wait because they are only sending people up in batches!

Hazuki chuckled at their reactions and replied to Yuri. "Why are you so surprised, Yuri? Did you think I'm only that strong? And that news is already outdated, it's been 2 months since that happened."

"By the way, where are you guys going?" Hazuki asked. It's not every day to meet an acquaintance like this so Hazuki might just let Yuri and Evan travel together with them.

Evan seems to hesitate since Hazuki's an enemy of Jahad now. It would be bad for Yuri if news about her being friends with Hazuki spread.

But unlike Evan, Yuri immediately replied happily but recklessly. "Ah, were going to the 123rd floor right now, to Jahad's floating castle to be precise!"

Evan rubbed his forehead in exasperation after seeing Yuri being so friendly with Jahad's enemy. For god's sake Princess, you are a Jahad's Princess!

'Jahad's floating castle is where Repellista Jahad should be located... Ah, we should just keep them with us since I also want to visit that little piece of sh*t.' Hazuki thought as he remembered the incident on the 30th-floor.

Repellista Jahad should be the person who informed them where they are located since she's the only person to control all of the Tower's Operas.

Even though Hazuki could just beat the shit outta them, it's still annoying since they disturbed their current peaceful lifestyle.

"Is that so? Then you should come with us since we are also climbing the Tower." Hazuki said.

"E-er... We can't since we are in a hurry. Sorry, but we just can't wait for you to clomb the Tower." Yuri said awkwardly. They really are hurrying since Yuri really wants to ask her a favor.

It's about Bam, Yuri doesn't believe that Bam died on the Floor of tests so she wants to confirm her suspicions through Repellista Jahad, her sister. Repellista Jahad is one of the Jahad's Princess she's on friendly terms with and she's also the greatest light-bearer in the Tower that's why she wanted to ask her for confirmation.

Hazuki and Ying Yueru could understand her plight since it would really take time to wait for a 'Regular', who's still climbing the Tower. Well, looks like Yuri underestimated Hazuki's teleportation ability.

Hazuki chuckled as he observed Yuri's troubled face and Evan's exasperated look. He then said, "Yuri, it looks like you already forgot about my teleportation ability..."

Yuri and Evan looked at him with slightly deadpan expression then Yuri said. "I didn't forget about it but how can that help us?" She can remember what Hazuki said when they are still in Headon's floor. 'I have already memorized the aura of everyone here on this floor and I also have a teleportation ability.'

Based on those words, Yuri can infer that Hazuki's teleportation abilities can only be used if he can memorize someone's aura. And since Hazuki is still a Regular, Yuri doubt if he knows anyone that is on the highest floors.

Indeed, Yuri and Evan are underestimating Hazuki's teleportation abilities. Well, it is normal since they haven't encountered a person such as Hazuki before who can ignore the rules.

Ying Yueru stared at Yuri and Evan strangely before she chuckled. "Miss Yuri, you are underestimating his abilities."

Yuri and Evan were puzzled. 'Underestimating? But how? Based on his power, I can understand if Hazuki-san could take us up the Tower faster. But that is only true if Hazuki-san becomes a Ranker. Regulars have many restrictions and it's already incredible to climb this high in the Tower in just 6 months...'

"Don't worry I can take you both much faster than your current climbing speed." Hazuki said with a smile.

Evan could see that Hazuki is very confident so he couldn't help but hesitate. Based on his guide abilities, their current path is already the fastest but by going with Hazuki, he couldn't be so sure anymore since he couldn't see anything relating to Hazuki and Ying Yueru. He could only remain silent and give Yuri the right to make a decision.

Yuri hesitated before he replied with a sigh. "Okay, we'll go with you."

"But, if we climb slower than slower than our current speed, which is 8 floors a month, then we would separate since our business needs to be fulfilled as quickly as possible." This is the condition, Yuri Jahad set.

Well, she agreed to go with them since it's quite rude for her to reject company from people she sees on equal terms or superior to her. If the offer is from a Regular other than Bam, then she would give them, at least, a lump on the head before she departs.

Hazuki and Ying Yueru smiled in unison after seeing Yuri agree. Hazuki was happy since he could know more things from the Tower from Yuri and maybe learn a few moves from the Ha family. And as for Ying Yueru, she's happy since she will be able to have a person to talk to and Yuri's presence became even more significant since the latter is a girl.

If it's the past Ying Yueru then she would definitely prefer to be alone since she doesn't see anyone as her equal since her mentality is already focused on the bigger picture. But now, she doesn't feel that way anymore since this is not her realm anymore and Hazuki is already by her side. She couldn't worry about anything anymore since she's confident about his abilities. Due to this, she's able to relax her mind and unleash her pent up emotions that she suppressed in order to keep her mind pure and undistracted.

"So, would you like to stay with us in the residential area here? You can rent the room beside us since its empty. We'll continue climbing tomorrow." Hazuki said.

Yuri and Evan nodded as they also agreed to lodge on the room beside theirs. It's been a while since they slept comfortably since they are staying in the shortcut stairs.

As soon as Hazuki finished his words, Ying Yueru immediately grabbed his arm. It's instinctual and this is already normal for her since it's their main transport means.

"Please come here, Yuri-san." Ying Yueru beckoned Yuri with her hand.

Yuri immediately approached her while Evan followed after her.

Ying Yueru grabbed Yuri's arm and asked the latter. "Yuri-san, hold Evan-san since we are going to leave now."

Yuri nodded and grabbed Evan by the scruff of his neck. It's the easiest way to hold Evan, according to her.

Evan complained to Yuri but Yuri ignored his complaint. For sure, Evan is currently badmouthing Yuri in his mind, calling her with names he came up with during his stay with her.

Hazuki chuckled, amused at their interaction. Then he directly teleported them in their room to avoid getting seen by other Regulars.

As soon as they arrived, Yuri dropped Evan to the ground, causing the latter to fall on his butt.

"Can't you be gentler with me, Princess!? Should I quit as your guide and continue my job in the Jahad Empire?!" Evan threatened.

Yuri didn't even take his threat to heart and taunted back. "Go ahead and leave. Who would accept a guide like you who couldn't even properly choose paths." Of course, Yuri is only taunting Evan. Inwardly, Evan is already an important companion to her and she would be discouraged if she lost a capable companion like Evan.

Though he's already used to Yuri's attitude, Evan still couldn't help but be annoyed by her. Well, it's not like he can do anything against this High-ranker princess. So the only thing he could do was grumble and badmouth her in his thoughts.

"Add my contact in your pocket, Hazuki." Yuri said straightforwardly. Communication would be even more important now that they will climb together.

Hazuki nodded and added her contact in his pocket. Ying Yueru did the same and of course, they also added the poor guide's contact info.

After that, Yuri and Evan left their room and lodged in the room beside them.

Ying Yueru was in a good mood since this is the first time they will have companions who will climb the Tower with them. Well, even though she wouldn't be able to explore the outer tower and middle area anymore due to their schedule, everything's fine with her since she also felt that the Tower is quite lackluster compared to the Draconic Ruins Realm.

She looks forward to what kind of realm they will visit after the Tower.

After resting until evening, Hazuki and Ying Yueru felt hungry so the former cooked for many persons serving since he would also invite Yuri and Evan to eat with them.

After cooking everything, Hazuki contacted Yuri and Evan, inviting them to eat with them. Of course, Yuri immediately agreed with her straightforward personality and she, together with Evan, came just a few seconds after receiving his message.

The meal was very delightful for both Evan and Yuri because it's been a while since they had a proper meal. Not even the chefs of the Jahad Empire could compare with this cooking.

"Wow, this is so delicious! Miss Ying, did you cook all of these?" Yuri asked. She immediately asked Ying Yueru since the latter do look like the virtuous housewife who takes care of everything in the house.

Ying Yueru laughed as she pointed at Hazuki. "No, it's not me who cooked. Hazuki cooked all of these."

Yuri was amazed that Hazuki cooked all of the food. 'Not only is he powerful and handsome, but he's also a great chef?! This is not good, I may be falling too!' She thought with a chuckle after remembering the original Anak Jahad.

Even Evan couldn't help but improve his opinion about Hazuki. 'He doesn't seem to be someone evil like those lunatics from FUG... Well, this relationship might not be good for Princess but it's definitely not that bad too...'

After the meal, Hazuki made clones to clean everything and chatted for a bit with Yuri and Evan. Of course, their conversation circled around their destinations.

Yuri's expression was especially priceless when she heard that Hazuki plans on staying on the 77th floor for a while.

"What?! Y-you plan on befriending that stalker?! I'm warning you, Hazuki-san, he's definitely not a good person!" Yuri said with an angry expression. But from her expression, Hazuki could tell that she's not really angry with Urek. She just had that kind of opinion on that narcissistic Irregular.

Hazuki laughed after hearing her opinions about Urek and replied. "Don't say that, Yuri-san. If he's really as bad as you mentioned him to be, then he would have already spread his family throughout the Tower with his power. Furthermore, it's not a bad deal to be friends with the strongest man in the Tower." Well, 'in the Tower' that is.

Yuri continued persuading Hazuki for a while but to no avail.

After they rested for a while, Yuri and Evan thanked them both then returned to their living quarters. Of course, Yuri is still persuading Hazuki not to stay on the 77th floor and when she found that it really has no effect, she pulled Ying Yueru close to her and whispered. "Miss Ying, you can't let Hazuki-san become friends with that stalker! That stalker is notorious in the Tower for being a lecherous man, every beautiful lady he has encountered has been stalked by him! If Hazuki-san stayed with that freak, then he might adopt that stalker's habits too!"

Ying Yueru laughed with mirth as she heard Yuri's incessant persuasion. Due to that, she became interested in Urek's personality and she looks forward to seeing him. (Okay, don't misunderstand this for god's sake.)

Hazuki's expression became odd when he heard what Yuri whispered to Ying Yueru. He facepalmed since this is already the 7th time she did this just this hour.

After Yuri and Evan left, Hazuki suddenly turned to Ying Yueru with a smirk plastered across his face.

"Ying'er, with High-rankers beside our room, do you think they will be able to hear us?" Hazuki said as he approached Ying Yueru.

Ying Yueru suddenly became nervous and a sense of trepidation overcame her. "W-what are you talking about?"

Suddenly, she felt her feet leave the ground and she's already on Hazuki's arms the next moment.

"Why don't we do it now, for you to know what I am talking about?" Hazuki said as he immediately charged towards the 'battlefield'.

*The details will be omitted.*

-----The Next day.-----

The four of them have already gathered in Hazuki and Ying Yueru's room.

Hazuki already finished the 62nd-floor test just this morning and now, they will start climbing together with Yuri and Evan.

"So how are we going to climb the Tower faster exactly?" Yuri asked as she doesn't have any idea what is Hazuki's means.

Even Evan looks forward to seeing it since it might be an unknown way to climb the Tower. If he can utilize this way in the future, then this tyrannical Princess wouldn't complain anymore!

Ying Yueru, who's beside Hazuki, was already clutching his arm. She then said as she offered her hand to Yuri, "Hold us again since Hazuki will teleport us now."

Yuri and Evan were stunned by her words. Such a thing should be impossible with his 'Regular' status!

"He will teleport us?! Y-you mean, he can teleport on higher floors even though he's still a Regular?!" Yuri exclaimed.

"Yeah! Even if you can teleport to higher floors, will the floor guardian allow your existence there, Hazuki-san?!" Evan said with slight fear. Inciting the Floor Guardian's ire is definitely not something he would dare to do. Only Enryu would dare disrespect a Floor Guardian!

Hazuki and Ying Yueru chuckled in unison as they saw their expressions. Hazuki then said. "Of course that's possible since we are doing that ever since we passed the 2nd-floor tests. And Evan-san, don't worry about getting noticed by the Floor Guardian since you will naturally attract it by being with me. Furthermore, we will only teleport upwards after we clear the floor test so don't panic."

As he heard Hazuki's words, Evan and Yuri slightly calmed down. They assumed that he will directly teleport them to the 77th floor that's why they are particularly nervous. Teleporting upwards without the 63rd-floor guardian knowing might attract his ire but he won't do anything on them since Hazuki and Ying Yueru weren't breaking any rules.

Yuri then grasped Ying Yueru's hand and grabbed Evan by the scruff of his neck. "Then, let's go now!"

Hazuki then teleported to the 63rd-floor. Precisely in the residential area since it would be troublesome to land just anywhere on the floor. He can differentiate the places due to the existence of rankers. With rankers around, Hazuki could tell whether that place is populated or not.

After arriving, Yuri and Evan immediately observed the surroundings.

A few seconds later, they turned to Hazuki and exclaimed.

"This is indeed the 63rd-floor! What a versatile teleportation ability!" Yuri exclaimed.

Evan had different thoughts as he asked. "But how does Hazuki-san know the exact location of the 63rd-floor?" Teleporting is a useful ability but it also has different restrictions. For other teleportation abilities, they must mark a location and they can only teleport to those marked locations. For others, they must know the exact coordinates of the location or for more complex ones, they must create a tear on space.

Evan observed that Hazuki's teleportation doesn't seem to need to fulfill those conditions, thus he wanted to know just how did he achieve it.

Yuri is also interested and she was anticipating Hazuki's answer.

Hazuki doesn't really mind since it's not detrimental to him. "I can know the exact location of the floor due to their Shinsu concentration. You already know that the Shinsu concentration goes up every floor, right?"

"Yeah." Yuri and Evan blankly replied. 'How could he teleport just by knowing those...? D-don't tell me?!' They immediately caught something odd in Hazuki's words. 'He can know the floors' exact location due to the Shinsu concentration...?! Then, does that mean that he can extend his perception throughout the whole Tower?!'

They stared at Hazuki with incredulous gazes, preparing themselves for Hazuki's explanation. No one in the Tower could sense the other floors with just their perception! They might be able to see what is happening through a lighthouse, but sensing the other floors' existence is virtually impossible! But if their assumption is true, then how monstrous could Hazuki be?!

Hazuki chuckled as he saw their nervous look. 'Ha, they must've already found out due to my words!'

"What you are thinking is true. I can sense all of the floors in this Tower with my perception and I use that as a means to know where should I teleport. I just have to find a floor where the Shinsu concentration is slightly stronger than my current floor. After finding that floor, I can teleport there anytime and anywhere." Hazuki explained.

After hearing the absurd explanation, Yuri and Evan nearly fainted. 'How can you say that so casually?! That is something that even King Jahad, who contracted every Floor Guardian, couldn't achieve!'

'Just what kind of monster did we get acquainted with...!' Yuri and Evan thought as they stared at Hazuki with amazed looks.

Evan finally knew why Hazuki was so daring, to the point that he resisted Jahad's rule openly. He does have the ability to be arrogant after all since he has terrifying power that is unheard of in the history of the Tower.

Now, he can only hope that Hazuki is someone who values friends because if Yuri got punished, then Evan doesn't know who can save her other than Hazuki and Urek.

After a few minutes, Yuri and Evan finally calmed themselves down. Hearing Hazuki's absurd capabilities were too much for their perception.

After recovering, Yuri's eyes sparkled as he looked at Hazuki. "If you can achieve those feats, then aren't you the best traveling companion?!"

Evan facepalmed as he heard Yuri's exclaim. 'I really can't do anything with this straightforward Princess...'

Ying Yueru laughed as she heard Yuri's straightforward thoughts. "Haha! Hazuki, aren't you the best transportation tool?" She jokingly said.

Hazuki doesn't mind but he thought that he should, at least, get back at Ying Yueru. He leaned himself on her and pinched her b*tt causing her to shriek in embarrassment.

Yuri was puzzled after hearing Ying Yueru's shriek since she's lost on her thoughts. Evan knew what happened and he couldn't help but think. 'How bold, Hazuki-san...'

After they arranged their rooms, Hazuki and the others were once again gathered in his living quarters.

"When are you going to take the test, Hazuki-san?" Yuri asked. The only thing hindering their climbing speed now is the tests.

"Ah, I can take it anytime since the floor guardian doesn't seem to be hostile against me." Hazuki said as he chewed on the fruits served by Ying Yueru.

Evan was puzzled as he heard Hazuki. "What do you mean by that, Hazuki-san? Are your tests connected to the Floor Guardian's mood?" Evan meant this as a joke but he didn't know that this really was the case.

"Yeah, that's right. If they're hostile against me, then I would have to spend time negotiating with them just to clear the test." Hazuki replied.

Ying Yueru, on the side, continued to peel fruits while eating. The fruit they are eating is called, 'Oar fruit'. The fruit has a spotted body similar to the species in the Tower called 'White steel eel'. Even though it's named after that fish, the fruit is very sweet unlike the slightly bitter taste of the 'White Steel Eel'.

"Huh, you only need to negotiate to clear the tests? How lucky, I should be given that kind of treatment too..." Yuri does look envious but she doesn't know Hazuki's real circumstances.

"Wait... You take the tests directly from the Floor Guardians?!" Yuri exclaimed after breaking out of her trance. Evan, on the side, could only sigh since he's already numbed by Hazuki's feats. 'With his power, that should already be normal, Princess...'

Hazuki and Ying Yueru chuckled hearing Yuri's remark. "Yeah, but it's not that simple, you know? Some of the Floor Guardians were hostile and prevents me from taking the test directly from them, causing me to stay on that particular floor unnecessarily longer."

"That's already troubling you?! What can you even say to describe my experiences?! 200 years to climb until the 134th floor, you can't describe how bored I was!" Yuri said with a complaining expression as if releasing her pent up complaints.

After saying those words, Yuri immediately clasped her mouth with her hands. Her forehead was sweating and she immediately sat back down on the chair. 'Just what did I do?! I indirectly revealed how old I am!'

Yuri knows that Hazuki is an Irregular that has stayed in the Tower for only 6 months. She doesn't know if `Hazuki would find her old since she knew that there's no Shinsu outside of the Tower, according to the 10 great family leaders.

Evan laughed in schadenfreude as he finally felt satisfaction after getting bullied by the princess for so long. 'Heh, just how will they react if they knew your real age.'

Ying Yueru noticed it but she didn't mention it since she's also a woman. It's forbidden to just ask for a woman's age and she could tell how embarrassed Yuri was by indirectly revealing her age.

Hazuki didn't take it to heart at all since he knew that, that kind of age is already young for the inhabitants of the Tower. "Yeah, who would want to stay in the Tower for that long? In my 20 years of life, I have never stayed in a realm for more than 2 years." Well, excluding his homeworld.

Yuri, even Evan, became even more shocked as she heard Hazuki's reply.

Yuri nervously asked Hazuki. "W-what...?! Hazuki-san, how old are you..?!"

"20 years old."

Yuri suddenly fell down from the chair and Evan limped on his seat. Yuri held her head as she couldn't take this information well. 'You're only 20 years old but you are already that powerful?! How unfair! Are all of the Irregulars blessed with that kind of talent?! I wish I was born outside of the Tower too!'

'Ah... I can't take this anymore...' Evan could tell that Hazuki is not lying based on his tone and expression. Of course, he also has a vague feeling that Hazuki's not lying.

Ying Yueru assisted Yuri and she laid the latter down on the sofa. "It's okay, don't take his words to heart because he's an abnormal existence. Even in our world, it's unheard that someone of his age could achieve strength like that."

"And don't mind him talking about age, he's just insensitive."

Yuri calmed herself down and sat on the sofa. She then asked Ying Yueru curiously, "Just what is outside of the Tower, Miss Ying?"

Ying Yueru didn't hesitate to tell Yuri everything in her realm. About cultivators and the beautiful sceneries of the outside world. Of course, she also told that there are no such tests outside since their world is not a Tower.

As she heard everything Ying Yueru told, Yuri's eyes revealed newfound curiosity to the outside world. She wants to get out of the Tower and experience a whole new world different from the exhausting, repetitive sceneries in the Tower.

Yuri then absentmindedly asked. "Miss Ying, why did both of you open the doors of the Tower if you can stay in the vast outside world? You might not be able to get out of this Tower before you clear the whole thing so why did you enter it anyways?"

Ying Yueru chuckled as she replied. "We entered the Tower since Hazuki said he wants the Shinsu and it's not like we are trapped in this Tower, you know?"

"What do you mean, Miss Ying...? Does that mean... Hazuki-san has a way to leave this Tower?" Yuri asked with gleaming eyes.

"Yes, he does." Ying Yueru replied.

"Really?! Then..." Before she could even finish, Ying Yueru interrupted her.

"I'm not sure about that Yuri-san. Hazuki never brought anyone besides me so I don't know if he'll allow you too." Ying Yueru added.

Yuri revealed a downcast expression as she quietened. She stood up and smiled at Ying Yueru then said. "I'm fine now, Miss Ying. We'll return to our rooms now, see you later."

After Yuri and Evan left, Hazuki bid Ying Yueru farewell and went to the Floor Guardian's domain. He wants to clear the test now since he wasn't doing anything.
