The sparring session ended on a grim note with the death of one level 2 challenger, but nobody complained. By now, they knew death was part of the Tower. It could be said they started becoming accustomed to it.
After the siblings and George's injuries were treated by the medical team, Aito brought them all inside for a meeting.
There, in a corner of the cathedral, he welcomed George into the team with a meal and informed him of their intention to clear the Tower.
Surprisingly, George's own goal aligned with Aito's. Most challengers did not even think about clearing the Tower. They were already aware the higher one went, the more dangerous it got.
That was the reason most of them tried to acquire a certain amount of power before going to the next floor. To be certain to survive it. A prudent move.
