Chapter 34 - Upper Floor

Navea knocks on the door from outside. Henry quickly opens it and they stare at each other.

"Why aren't you ready yet?" Navea ask.

"Ready for what?" Henry answered with also a question with confusion.

"By river!! Aren't we going to Round Table Meeting?! It happens every nightfall!" Navea stresses and is frustrated by all things happening with her erupting in his slight mistake that can be excused by his ignorance.

"Sorry... Here drink some while I prepare!" Henry gave her a cola he got from his water pouch that seems that can replicate the taste of what he wanted as a drink. Even temperature can be modified.

"Hmm... This is good," Navea said relaxing on the table while Henry got to the shower.

"Haaa... That was refreshing! Let's go!" Henry said wearing a black kimono in resemblance to a Miyamoto Musashi a historical Japanese Swordsman who remained undefeated till death. On his waist is a black katana.

"Let's go..." Navea throws the water pouch to Henry and they got out.

"So what do I need to know first?" Henry asks while they board the mover.

"Round Table... It's easy, don't talk to others just remain silent. Don't ever look to those at the upper seat or Councillors' Private Rooms. Just remain quiet until I told you so..." Navea replied.

"Why are you so much hard on me while soft to others?" Henry asks the mover to lift them off the first floor at the center going up to the second, third, and fourth.

"I don't need to be soft on someone who wanted my whole life tied... Rather make you feel this normal and treasure the times when I gave you joy," Navea replied not looking at him.

"Nice, I like that... Every night is a full blossomed joy," Henry teased and Navea elbowed him quite hard. He rubs his side that was hit.

They then stop at the 11h floor. The whole place is very silent with only occasionally sounds of steps. Everyone on this floor either has a crawling snake and a lizard on their neck or a type of bird on their shoulder. The most frightening and mind-blowing is their twinkling eyes that seem to hypnotize someone who looks at them.

"Don't stare at someone's eyes it's rude..." Navea elbowed Henry again making him bow.

"What was that?" Henry mumbles.

"Eyes is the window of the soul, when you reach higher attainment in magic your eyes will change into that form. You will see the world in different ways. The most part is all invisible and intangible will be revealed like the land below the clear river water," Navea replied pulling Henry towards the Northern part of the gigantic floor.

They stop on a thick earthen hue of the wall that has a flowing glow like it was breathing. Navea pulled out her card the same card Henry used to enter the Tower the management staff gave him in acceptance to the Tower as a student. Henry followed her action by putting it in contact with the wall and the glow stayed on the card before the wall make a path perfect for the two to pass.

"I thought you refused?" Henry ask.

"Even if I refuse, the management will always give someone recognize by the Tower Consciousness a pass to enter the Round Table," Navea explained patiently.

"So this Tower is life?" Henry ask.

"You didn't know?" The Tower used to be the 8th God Magi known for dimensional control. The whole Tower is in a separate dimension from the Netherworld and others that can only be opened by Primiceriatus or The Guides," Navea calmly told him things he didn't read in the book.

There were people already inside the place and when Henry look around Gennal the Champion of God Mars saw him and wave at him.

"Hey! A pleasure to have you two here. I'll be the host for both of you. Follow me," Gennal greeted and quickly make the two follow him toward the left-wing of the large round table that has 120 seats.

"Here, you can take these two empty chairs and we will begin in just a few seconds," Gennal said sitting beside Henry who took the seat quietly.

"Hmm... I thought you were a talker," Gennal mumbled and Henry heard it. He pointed at Navea who is looking around. She then glace at them at the same time the two are looking at her.

"What?" Navea asks coldly...

"Your wife?" Gennal inquire.

Navea looks at Henry waiting to hear his answer but he remains quiet while making a weird sign language the two can't understand.

"Talk!" Navea told him in annoyance.

"Nah!! Still courting her and I think I have to work harder than how my mom gave birth to me," Henry replied in a teasing mannerism while doing exaggerated hand gestures.

"Hahaha, if it's like that then you will surely break some bones in the process," Gennal replied very amusedly and Navea distanced herself from the two before they went to the man to man talk.

"So what is this Round Table about? I'm completely clueless on this. I can't even look at it at the books except for the knights of the round table in the surface history," Henry inquire more information to Gennal who look at him funnily.

"Knights of the round table is the earliest guardian of the surface world to demons and other dangerous entities to ever escape from their dimensions to Europe. This Round Table is an organization that focuses on making every Promising and champion prepare for any situation that may ever come afloat," Gennal replied.

"Wow!! Good to know that! I'll be thrashed here for sometime before having a chance for a two-way beat down," Henry exclaimed in surprise.

'Fuck! This place is more dangerous than the first floor!! This is the place for young masters, god-complex and self-entitled beings!!'

Henry's eyes started to quickly survey the wide room where people flock in. Every one of them carried a dangerous air even a little girl looking like a gothic child carried a large scythe overhead. Henry started to run his head in the quick and sharp calculation on surviving a doomsday break out. While his mouth curls in a smile while his eyes were narrowed. Navea quickly elbowed him stopping his weird reaction and Gennal have a chuckle.
