[Test ... Test ... , Welcome to all the Regulars on the second floor of the tower.]
[The first test will begin, with 400 participants. The test will be a survival challenge, where you need to reduce the number of participants to 200.]
[Once there are 200 participants left, the test will end.]
[Now ... let the test begin!!]
"It seems this test is a fight to the death," Akira said as he looked at Yukihime and Asuna. Thanks to his broken luck, everyone had been sent to the same place, which made it easier for them to meet up.
"What do you want to do? Should we kill the other participants, or just wait until the test ends without doing anything?" Yukihime asked, not minding either option.
"Do you want me to kill everyone, Master?" Black March asked, hugging Akira in her ghostly form. It was clear she was excited to serve her new master.
"No need for that," Akira shook his head as a massive golden ripple appeared nearby. "I'm going to take a bath, and all you have to do is kill anyone who tries to bother me."
"Certainly," Black March nodded without hesitation, her cheeks slightly flushed, clearly eager to see Akira's bare body.
"Would you like to join me in the bath?" Akira asked, pointing to the hot springs that had appeared out of nowhere, and walked towards them casually.
"I'll take you up on that," Yukihime said, stretching her body as she followed behind Akira, not minding sharing the bath with him.
"What?! ..." Asuna could only stare at the scene before her in shock.
"What about you, Asuna?" Yukihime asked when she saw Asuna standing there in surprise. "This is a good chance to relax, and it might be the last one, since we don't know what kind of tests await us after this."
"Well ..." Asuna hesitated. While she wanted to bathe and didn't mind sharing the bath with Yukihime, she was a young lady from the Yuuki family and had been taught not to reveal her skin in front of men.
"Alright ..." After some hesitation, Asuna agreed, realizing, as Yukihime said, that she might not get another chance like this.
And so, while everyone else was desperately killing each other, Akira was bathing with three beautiful girls. Black March's human form had joined them in the bath, while her sword form flew in the sky, killing anyone who approached.
These hot springs weren't ordinary; they were incredibly powerful, with no one from the outside able to see the people inside, while those inside could see anyone outside. Moreover, the hot springs had the effects of accelerating recovery, rejuvenating youth, improving skin, and more.
Though Asuna had been initially shy, she was now enjoying sitting in the hot water, completely naked, along with Akira and Yukihime.
"..." The three of them closed their eyes, allowing the hot water to help their tense bodies relax, giving them a pleasant feeling.
"..." But unlike the others, Black March was staring at Akira, her nose bleeding as it was clear she was overly excited from seeing Akira's bare body.

An hour later.
[Notification ... Notification ... The first part of the test has ended, and now it's time for the second part.]
[All remaining participants are required to form a team of three within 5 minutes. Anyone who fails to form a team will be disqualified.]
[To recognize a team formation, all three members must touch each other to be acknowledged as a team.]
"Hmmm, is that why the chat group limited the number of participants to three people?" Yukihime muttered when she heard the Test Admin's announcement.
"I don't know what chat group you're talking about, but fights in the tower are usually team-based, which is why teams of three are always formed at the beginning of the tests," Black March said, staring at Yukihime but still hugging Akira, not seeming like she had any intention of letting go anytime soon.
"A bath is the best; I feel like I've come back to life after so long," Akira hummed happily, getting dressed in clothes that had been repaired and cleaned—another function of the hot springs.
"You're right, especially that wine you offered. This is the first time I've had wine like that in my 700 years of life," Yukihime commented, licking her lips, as the taste of the wine lingered on them.
"Well, that wine is King's Wine, something humans can't make," Akira said proudly, as he really loved that wine, drinking at least a bottle a day.
"But aren't you underage, Akira-kun?" Asuna asked, seemingly forgetting that she was underage too, though she had been drinking the wine.
"That's true, but I'm also immortal, so I decided not to care about such small things," Akira shrugged indifferently, as he hadn't cared about age since becoming immortal.
"I think we should hold hands instead of chatting, as time is running out," Yukihime said, grabbing Akira's hand with one hand and Asuna's with the other.
"You're right," Akira nodded, taking Asuna's other hand with his free hand while Black March clung to his waist, staring jealously at Asuna and Yukihime.
