Boom*
"Shinsu..." - Khun mumbled, trying to resist the liquid magical power being emitted by the Test Admin named Lero-Ro.
"Wahhhh~..." - Akira yawned out of boredom, as this level of dense magical power had no effect on him or Yukihime and Asuna.
Except for them, there was another person unaffected by the dense liquid magical power, and that person was Baam, the protagonist of this world, as he was also an Irregular.
"These people are really weak..." - Yukihime muttered upon seeing how everyone was pushed by this level of power. To her, it was as if Lero-Ro was trying to push a dinosaur using a cup full of water.
"Well, this is only the 2nd Floor, and except for the Test Admin, all the others here are just weaklings who have just begun climbing the tower," - Akira said lazily as he walked toward Lero-Ro, feeling a bit sleepy after taking a bath.
"... " - Yukihime and Asuna glanced at each other for a moment and then followed behind Akira.
"Hello..." - Akira lazily smiled and waved at Lero-Ro, who was talking about luck and similar things.
"!!!" - Lero-Ro couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock when he saw Akira - "A Monster... no, Monsters have arrived."
"Don't mind us, just continue with what you're doing," - Akira said nonchalantly, sitting lazily while watching the other participants in boredom.
"As I said earlier, the most important thing is luck. It might have been a mistake that these people weren't pushed away, but that's also their luck, and that's why they succeeded," - Lero-Ro said while trying to hide his tension, as Akira's and his group's power was not something you'd usually find in a place like this.
"Excuse me... I wasn't pushed away either," - Baam said with some embarrassment, "Does that mean I succeeded too?"
"That's correct..." - Lero-Ro nodded after becoming tense for a moment again, thinking, 'What is happening? Why are there so many Monsters in this test?'
"And now, let the test begin. Whoever passes through the wall made of Shinsu will succeed, and whoever can't must leave," - Lero-Ro said indifferently, sitting down near Akira since he was a Ranker and had his own pride, so he couldn't show his nervousness.
"Excuse me... May I ask for your name?" - Lero-Ro asked, staring curiously at Akira, who was lazily sitting beside him.
"Akira, Nifuji Akira ~" - Akira said, yawning as he was really feeling bored.
"So, Akira-san..." - Lero-Ro stared at Akira with unconcealed curiosity, "May I ask you some questions?"
"Hmmm, go ahead and ask, but I'll only answer if I feel like it," - Akira replied indifferently, as a golden ripple appeared beside him, from which a large pillow emerged. Akira hugged the pillow without hesitation as he watched the other participants.
"Then I won't hesitate to ask," - Lero-Ro said, closing his eyes to organize his thoughts before asking, "Can you tell me where you came from, Akira-san?"
"From outside the tower..." - Akira said indifferently while staring at a green-skinned girl who managed to pass through the wall made of magical power. However, what caught Akira's attention wasn't the girl but the weapon at her waist, which was the Green April.
"From outside the tower..." - Lero-Ro mumbled, unable to comprehend what he heard for a moment. But when he processed what Akira had said, he stared at him and the others in disbelief, "So does that mean you and your friends are Irregulars, Akira-san?"
"Well, that's the case," - Akira nodded as he tightened his grip on the Black March, which wanted to lunge forward to kill the lizard girl to get the Green April for its beloved master. The Black March felt the desire to obtain the Green April from Akira.
Although the desire wasn't that strong, as a faithful servant to its master, the Black March would do its utmost to fulfill its master's desires, no matter how small or insignificant.
"I see..." - Lero-Ro stared at Akira and the others and began muttering a lot of things, to which Akira didn't pay much attention.
"I answered your questions, now it's your turn," - Akira said while yawning, "How long does it take for someone to reach here from that metal rabbit's floor if they don't use the official path?"
"Metal rabbit? Do you mean Headon-sama?" - Lero-Ro asked, feeling terrified by the way Akira referred to Headon.
"Are there any other metal rabbits besides him?" - Akira asked, staring at Lero-Ro curiously, not expecting there to be companions for that metal rabbit who was as cunning as a fox.
"Headon-sama is a unique being, and there aren't any other people with the same characteristics, as far as I know," - Lero-Ro smiled nervously, as no one in the tower dared refer to Headon as a metal rabbit, except for Akira who was sitting before him - "As for your first question, if the person knows the way well, it would take about a week or a little more for someone to go from the 1st Floor to the 2nd Floor."
"I see... Now, another question, do you know how to contact FUG?" - Akira asked a question that could get him executed with indifference, without even looking at Lero-Ro.
"This..." - Lero-Ro could only stare at Akira and the others cautiously, ready for a fight at any moment.
"There's no need for such caution. I'm not interested in working with rats who scurry from place to place just to hide," - Akira said, staring at Lero-Ro with narrowed eyes, clearly displeased with Lero-Ro's hostility toward him - "Well, at least for now."
"Sigh~, talking to you is really bad for my heart, Akira-san," - Lero-Ro smiled sarcastically and sat down, not daring to do anything to Akira, as he felt death staring him down a few moments ago - "But to answer your question, I don't know how to contact FUG."
Even though Lero-Ro felt it was strange that someone from outside the tower knew about FUG, he didn't care much. He just prayed from the depths of his heart that a monster like Akira wouldn't cooperate with FUG.
"I see..." - Akira replied indifferently, closing his eyes to sleep, no longer feeling the desire to talk to Lero-Ro any further.
As for the girls, they were talking about the effects of hot springs and didn't pay much attention to the conversation between Akira and Lero-Ro.
