!!!Chapter 147 (Season 2: Ch. 68)

The first day after the Archimedes airship started moving, the hosts of the Workshop Battle, Io and Punk, discuss within the ship's control room how the tournament's going to go. The two hosts are then greeted by High Ranker Madorako, a genius businessman who helped raise enough funds for Workshop's research due to the amount of potential Regulars who have appeared amongst the E-ranks. Io and Punk express concern about the Great Teacher finding out about what they're doing, but Madorako asks that they both trust him as he's about to show off the greatest Workshop Battle ever. After Madorako leaves, Io and Punk question if the shady businessman they teamed up with can be trusted, but they agree that nothing will go wrong as long as they finish developing Emile. Meanwhile, Madorako meets with his Ranker bodyguards to order them to send word to their merchant contact that "it's" almost in their possession.

Upon spotting Viole and his FUG Team walking by the pool, Endorsi decides to end the interview, and heads off to the Archimedes jail room to visit the intruder she caught. Greeting Traveller at his jail cell, Endorsi asks if if he knows anything else about Bam. However, Traveller states that the only thing he knows is that Viole had called himself 25th Bam, which disappoints her. Before leaving, Traveller begs the Jahad Princess to let him out, or else Emile will die. Endorsi finds it to be nonsense believing that Emile's just a machine everyone talks to on their handheld terminals, but Traveller assures her that Emile is actually a live person somewhere on the Archimedes. Meanwhile at the Archimedes dorm for Khun's Sweet-and-Sour team, Wangnan watches as Khun is seen having a reunion chat with his past alligator teammate, Rak Wraithraiser.

Elsewhere on the Archimedes, Hatz arrives at the item shop of the Archimedes. Having been convinced by Shibisu that it's time to move on from his old sentimental sword since it was destroyed by Cassano during One Shot, One Opportunity, Hatz is at the item shop to pick out a new sword. Shibisu had also handed Hatz an Emile terminal to help with the search, which Hatz asks it for a "sword to stab a devil." Instead of an item shop however, Emile sends him off to a place called the Acorn Workshop. The Arm Devils, Cassano and Horyang, are also seen walking together here.

Following her talk with Traveller, Endorsi spends the night thinking it over if what he said about Emile is true. That Emile, the girl Traveller loves, is a human trapped within the Acorn Workshop, which Traveller begged Endorsi to go there and save her. However, Endorsi ignores it for now since she has other issues to worry about other than dealing with someone else's love life.

Afterwards, Sophia introduces Horyang and Cassano to the bandage boy as someone named Beta, who is technically a brother to the two Devil Arms. However, Beta leaves them claiming that he's not interested in halves. Sophia then leads Horyang and Cassano to a facility in the Acorn Workshop where she reveals to them what she's been working on. The two Devil Arms see a giant egg-shaped machine called Emile, which Sophia explains to be a weapon that will bring a new wave to the Tower. Nearby, the Acorn Workshop guards are seen changing shifts as the one departing is revealed to be Lero-Ro; having infiltrated the Archimedes. The next day, Io and Punk are seen standing on a platform in the middle of the Archimedes' Grand Stadium. They announce that the Workshop Battle will now begin.

The first day aboard the Archimedes, Io and Punk, who are going to be the hosts of the Workshop Battle, discuss in the ship's control room how the tournaments are going to go. Here, the two hosts are greeted by High Ranker Madorako, a genius businessman who helped raise enough funds for Workshop's research due to the amount of potential Regulars who have appeared amongst the E-ranks. Io and Punk express concern about the Great Teacher finding out about what they're doing, but Madorako asks that they both trust him as he's about to show off the greatest Workshop Battle ever. Madorako also points out that nothing will go wrong as long as they finish developing Emily.

At the Archimedes pool, the E-rank Regulars are all seen having a great time. Here, Shibisu exchanges pleasantries with a female Regular named Ron Mei, the teammate of the person that's considered to be the strongest E-rank Regular. Shibisu is also left concerned about the state of his team due to Hatz losing his sword, and Aleksai being out cold. Meanwhile, Endorsi gets interviewed about how she got the extra 249th ticket to get onto the Archimedes; explaining that it's because she not only was rewarded for capturing an intruder, but shot the game's Bong Bong fairy. Upon spotting Viole and his FUG Team, she decides to end the interview, and heads off to the Archimedes jail room to visit the intruder she caught.

Greeting Traveller at his jail cell, Endorsi is left disappointed that the only thing he knows is that Viole had called himself 25th Bam. Before leaving, Traveller begs the Jahad Princess to let him out, or else Emily will die. Despite Endorsi finding it nonsense, Traveller explains to her that Emily isn't a machine, but is a live person somewhere on the Archimedes.

Meanwhile, Khun and Wangnan are greeted by the former's previous alligator teammate, Rak Wraithraiser. Khun asks for Wangnan to leave him to have some alone time with his old friend, which Rak reveals that a red turtle (implied to be Hwaryun) had told him everything about the Hand of Arlene incident; which includes Khun's team falling apart, and Bam being alive.

Wangnan heads off to the dining room to eat with the remaining members in Sweet and Sour (Ehwa, Akraptor, and Goseng), and discuss the appearance of Khun's friend. Dan is with them, as well as Blarode and Quaetro, who had been assigned the same Archimedes room. Their meal is interrupted due to Khun and Rak breaking out into a fight over how to save Bam. Khun claims that they can't do anything currently since Bam is trapped in FUG, and have to worry about the Jahad Empire finding out about his survival, but Rak counters that Khun is being afraid of losing anything, and isn't deciding on what he wants to do. Not wanting to believe it, Khun leaves the room.

After the fight, Wangnan speaks with Khun in private, and points out that he realized how different he and Khun are. That Wangnan would do anything to stand alongside a friend while Khun tries to take all the burdens away from his friends to continue being with them. Khun replies that it's always been a habit of his.

Meanwhile, Rak is left throwing a tantrum after not being able to convince Khun. Ehwa tries to cheer him up, but ends up burning him in anger when Rak throws away her blue jelly that reminds him of Khun. Dan is the next to speak to Rak, who informs the alligator that he had heard the stories about how Khun had been shaken up about what happened on the Floor of Tests. He informs Rak that Khun sees his original team on the 2nd Floor as the best time of his life considering Khun's suffocating life when he was living with the Khun Family before he was summoned into the inner Tower. Afterwards, Ehwa and Quaetro chase after Rak wanting a picture with the dino-alligator.

Escaping Ehwa and Quaetro, Rak meets with Khun in private again. Khun orders him away if he's just here to apologize about earlier, but Rak states that he became happy upon hearing that Khun and Bam were still alive. Rak points out that he wants to continue being happy, but it's not going to happen with Khun's current state of worrying about everything, and not doing anything to change that. Upon hearing that, Khun finally has the resolve. He tells Rak that he will be more evil than the bastards at FUG in order to bring Bam back, which excites Rak seeing him acting like his old self again.

Elsewhere on the Archimedes, Hatz arrives at the item shop of the Archimedes to pick out a new sword to replace the old sentimental one that was destroyed by Cassano during One Shot, One Opportunity. However, his search for a store leads him to the Acorn Workshop. The Arm Devils, Cassano and Horyang are also seen walking together here.

Following her talk with Traveller, Endorsi is left thinking about if the story about Emily being trapped in the Acorn Workshop of the Archimedes is true or not. However, she ignores it for now since she has other issues to worry about than someone else's love life.

Back at the Acorn Workshop, Hatz hides after realizing that Cassano and Horyang are going in. He follows after the two Arm Devils to a room in the Acorn Workshop, and spies on their tearful reunion with Researcher Sophia. However, Hatz is caught by a boy in bandages, and is unable to fight him due to not having his sword. The Arm Devils notice the commotion, which results in Hatz getting cuffed, and thrown into a locked room. Afterwards, Sophia introduces Horyang and Cassano to the bandage boy as someone named Beta, who is technically a brother to the two Devil Arms. However, Beta leaves them claiming that he's not interested in halves.

Researcher Sophia leads Horyang and Cassano to a facility in the Acorn Workshop where she reveals to them what she's been working on. The two Devil Arms see a giant egg-shaped container called Emily, which Sophia explains to be a weapon that will bring a new wave to the Tower. Nearby, the Acorn Workshop guards are seen changing shifts as the one departing is revealed to be Lero-Ro; having infiltrated the Archimedes.

The next day at the Grand Stadium of the Archimedes, Io and Punk announce that the Workshop Battle will now begin.

!!!Short Summary

!!!Long Summary

Switching the subject, Ran tells Shibisu that she's happy to see him here. However, Shibisu replies that he's not glad to see her since it means that the Regular considered to be the strongest E-rank will be here as well, which causes Ron to chuckle. Laure is seen sleeping nearby as Ron notes that she heard about Team Shibisu's fight against Team FUG. She asks how her fight with the Slayer Candidate, Viole, went. Shibisu answers that they obviously lost, which Ron replies that, at the very least, they all got out alive and well. However, Shibisu is left thinking to himself that they didn't make it out scratch free given that Hatz's sword was destroyed, and Aleksai got knocked out cold.

The Ranker points out that even though this is only the 30th Floor for low-level E-rank Regulars, the money was easy to gather due to the number of E-rankers participating that have shown to have potential to one day make a name in the Tower. Some of these people include the following: FUG's new Slayer Candidate, Viole, a Jahad Princess, Endorsi, and Bayroad Yamah's Mad Dog, who is considered the strongest E-rank Regular.

Meanwhile, Khun and Wangnan are greeted by the former's previous alligator teammate, Rak Wraithraiser. Khun asks for Wangnan to leave him to have some alone time with his old friend, which Rak reveals that a red turtle (implied to be Hwa Ryun) had told him everything about the Hand of Arlene incident; which includes Khun's team falling apart, and Bam being alive.

Back to the Acorn Workshop, Hatz hides after realizing that Cassano and Horyang are going in. He follows after the two Arm Devils to a room in the Acorn Workshop, and spies on their tearful reunion with Researcher Sophia. However, Hatz is caught by a boy in bandages, and is unable to fight him due to not having his sword. The Arm Devils notice the commotion, which results in Hatz getting cuffed, and thrown into a locked room. Afterwards, Sophia introduces Horyang and Cassano to the bandage boy as someone named Beta, who is technically a brother to the two Devil Arms. However, Beta leaves them claiming that he's not interested in halves.

[[caption-width-right:300:Finally reuniting, Rak informs Khun that Hwa Ryun told him everything]]

Khun asks how Rak managed to get here, which the alligator answers that he was told by the red turtle moments before the Hand of Arlene incident happened, and was tasked by her to meet Khun at Workshop to help him. Khun deduces in his head that it was highly likely that the red turtle was Hwa Ryun, but questions why she gets to tell others while he has to keep this all a secret.

Wangnan interrupts his thoughts asking if Khun knows the alligator speaking to them, but Khun answers that he would like some alone time with Rak, which causes Wangnan to leave the room. Khun gets straight to the point asking Rak how much he knows, which the alligator answers that he not only knows what Rachel did to Khun's team during the Hand of Arlene incident, but that the black turtle, Bam, is alive. Seeing Khun unable to speak, Rak asks why the blue turtle is keeping quiet about this.

The first day aboard the Archimedes, Io and Punk, who are going to be the hosts of the Workshop Battle, discuss in the ship's control room how the tournaments are going to go. Here, the two hosts are greeted by High Ranker Madoraco, a genius businessman who helped raise enough funds for Workshop's research due to the amount of potential Regulars who have appeared amongst the E-ranks. Io and Punk express concern about the Great Teacher finding out about what they're doing, but Madoraco asks that they both trust him as he's about to show off the greatest Workshop Battle ever. Madoraco also points out that nothing will go wrong as long as they finish developing Emily.

One of the hosts looks down at a high number stat, and is amazed to see that they've been funded this much money for the Workshop, and states that Madoraco is indeed a genius businessman. Nearby, this businessman known as High Ranker Madoraco is seen greeting Io and Punk on the bridge.

[[caption-width-right:300:The genius businessman and sponsor of Workshop, High Ranker Madoraco]]

The Ranker points out that even though this is only the 30th Floor for low-level E-rank Regulars, the money was easy to gather due to the number of E-rankers participating that have shown to have potential to one day make a name in the Tower. Some of these people include the following: FUG's new Slayer Candidate, Viole, a Jahad Princess, Endorsi, and Baylord Yama's Mad Dog, who is considered the strongest E-rank Regular.

Madoraco points how that such excellent names made for great advertising to bring in loads of funding. The Ranker also adds that the money doesn't stop here since the audience that is going to show up to see the E-rankers in action are going be betting on the games. Madoraco states that betting can lead to a very high result, and that Io and Punk are set to make hundreds of times more cash than they already received from the original funding.

Punk expresses worry to Madoraco that their Great Teacher will find out about this, but the businessman Ranker reassures the host that what goes on inside the Archimedes won't be leaked to the outside. He also states that even if a leak somehow got out, no one will blame them as long as they finish the research by the end of the tournament. Madoraco reassures Io and Punk not to worry, and to put their trust in him to make this the greatest Workshop Battle show ever. The Ranker reminds Io and Punk that this is all for their research as the High Ranker takes his leave with his bodyguards following right after Madoraco.

Looking at a security camera of Madoraco's group leaving, Punk remains worried if they can truly trust him given that despite the Ranker's cred as a genius businessman, he's heard rumors that Madoraco works for someone dangerous. Io asks if that really matters to them since they just need to get the research done with the money Madoraco provided. The blue host reminds Punk that it's all over once they finish Emily, which Punk agrees with. The two then give off an evil sounding laugh. As Madoraco continues to walk away with his bodyguards, the businessman Ranker orders one of them to inform the merchant that it will come to them, which the bodyguard agrees to do.

Looking down at the E-rank Regulars playing in the Archimedes pool, Madoraco points out that they look to be having fun, and notes that playing in the water can help people grow to be healthy. He leaves off stating that he's looking forward to the party tomorrow.

* ArcVillain: The businessman, High Ranker Madoraco, makes himself out to look like one for the upcoming Workshop Battle.

The 32nd story arc of the ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' series consisting of chapters 66 - 68 from the second season. The arc centers around the E-rank Regulars now aboard the Archimedes enjoying their free time before the start of the Workshop Battle. Meanwhile, Rak reunites with Koon to discuss how they will go about saving Baam from FUG.

The first day aboard the Archimedes, Io and Punk, who are going to be the hosts of the Workshop Battle, discuss in the ship's control room how the tournaments going to go.

At the Archimedes pool, the E-rank Regulars are all seen having a great time. Here, Leesoo exchanges pleasantries with a female Regular named Ron Mei, the teammate of the person that's considered to be the strongest E-rank Regular. Leesoo is also left concerned about the state of his team due to Hatsu losing his sword, and Aleksai being out cold. Meanwhile, Androssi gets interviewed about how she got the extra 249th ticket to get onto the Archimedes; explaining that it's because she not only was rewarded for capturing an intruder, but shot the game's Bong Bong fairy.

Before leaving, Traveller begs the Zahard Princess to let him out, or else Emile will die. Despite Androssi finding it nonsense, Traveller explains to her that Emile isn't a machine, but is a live person somewhere on the Archimedes.

Meanwhile, Koon and Wangnan are greeted by the former's previous alligator teammate, Rak Wraithraiser. Koon asks for Wangnan to leave him to have some alone time with his old friend, which Rak reveals that a red turtle (implied to be Hwa Ryun) had told him everything about the Hand of Arlen incident; which includes Koon's team falling apart, and Baam being alive.

Wangnan heads off to the dining room to eat with the remaining members in Team Tangsooyok (Yihwa, Akraptor, and Goseng), and discuss the appearance of Koon's friend.

He tells Rak that he will be more evil than the bastards at FUG in order to bring Baam back, which excites Rak seeing him acting like his old self again.

Elsewhere on the Archimedes, Hatsu arrives at the item shop of the Archimedes to pick out a new sword to replace the old sentimental one that was destroyed by Cassano during One Shot, One Opportunity. However, his search for a store leads him to the Acorn Workshop. The Arm Devils, Cassano and Horyang are also seen walking together here.

Following her talk with Traveller, Androssi is left thinking about if the story about Emile being trapped in the Acorn Workshop of the Archimedes is true or not. However, she ignores it for now since she has other issues to worry about than someone else's love life.

Back to the Acorn Workshop, Hatsu hides after realizing that Cassano and Horyang are going in. He follow after the two Arm Devils to a room in the Acorn Workshop, and spies on their tearful reunion with Researcher Sophia. However, Hatsu is caught by a boy in bandages, and is unable to fight him due to not having his sword. The Arm Devils notice the commotion, which results in Hatsu getting cuffed, and thrown into a locked room. Afterwards, Sophia introduces Horyang and Cassano to the bandage boy as someone named Beta, who is technically a brother to the two Devil Arms. However, Beta leaves them claiming that he's not interested in halves.

Researcher Sophia leads Horyang and Cassano to a facility in the Acorn Workshop where she reveals to them what she's been working on. The two Devil Arms see a giant egg-shaped container called Emile, which Sophia explains to be a weapon that will bring a new wave to the Tower. Nearby, the Acorn Workshop guards are seen changing shifts as the one departing is revealed to be Lero-Ro; having infiltrated the Archimedes.

The Ranker points out that even though this is only the 30th Floor for low-level E-rank Regulars, the money was easy to gather due to the number of E-rankers participating that have shown to have potential to one day make a name in the Tower. Some of these people include the following: FUG's new Slayer Candidate, Viole, a Zahard Princess, Androssi, and Baylord Yama's Mad Dog, who is considered the strongest E-rank Regular.

Looking at a security camera of Madoraco's group leaving, Punk remains worried if they can truly trust him given that despite the Ranker's cred as a genius businessman, he's heard rumors that Madoraco works for someone dangerous.

As Madoraco continues to walk away with his bodyguards, the businessman Ranker orders one of them to inform the merchant that it will come to them, which the bodyguard agrees to do.

Leesoo is seen relaxing in a pool chair as he looks out at the beautiful playing in the pool; admitting to himself that this is heaven. At this point, Anak, and another E-rank Regular named Ron Mei, approach Leesoo. The latter of which points points out to Anak that Leesoo is staring at girls with his perverted eyes.

[[caption-width-right:300:Leesoo realizes that Ron Mei is here with the strongest E-rank Regular]]

Anak begins to kick at Leesoo claiming that he shouldn't be relaxing after his plan messed their team up in One Shot, One Opportunity, which causes Leesoo to beg her to stop since Anak's kicks hurt. Watching the two, Ron laughs, and points out that Leesoo and Anak seem to get along well together, which angers Leesoo, who finds it hard to believe that getting kicked is considered getting along with one another.

Switching the subject, Ran tells Leesoo that she's happy to see him here. However, Leesoo replies that he's not glad to see her since it means that the Regular considered to be the strongest E-rank will be here as well, which causes Ron to chuckle. Laure is seen sleeping nearby as Ron notes that she heard about Team Leesoo's fight against Team FUG. She asks how her fight with the Slayer Candidate, Viole, went. Leesoo answers that they obviously lost, which Ron replies that, at the very least, they all got out alive and well. However, Leesoo is left thinking to himself that they didn't make it out scratch free given that Hatsu's sword was destroyed, and Aleksai got knocked out cold.

Changing the subject again, Ron states that she also heard about Princess Androssi's amazing feat catching an intruder during One Shot, One Opportunity. She wishes to know more details about it, but Leesoo informs her that they don't exactly know about it themselves given that they're rarely ever able to properly talk to her despite being a team. Looking up at a television screen showing off Androssi, Ron admits that to be the case given that she's such a celebrity. Ron points that it's probably easier learning about her from the news, which Leesoo agrees with.

[[caption-width-right:300:Androssi gets interviewed to explain how she got the extra Archimedes ticket]]

Switching to Androssi, a news crew is currently having an interview with her. The reporter asks if the rumor is true that she got a bonus ticket for catching the intruder that was trying to break into the Archimedes during One Shot, One Opportunity, which Androssi answers that that wasn't the case. She explains that while she did find the intruder that was being chased by the Workshop patrols, the tickets were all gone by that point. The reporters ask how she managed to get on the Archimedes then, which Androssi answers that she was lucky to come across the Bong Bong fairy near the spot she caught the intruder, and shooting it gave her the extra ticket to get summoned up to the Archimedes.

Androssi further explains that while it went against the rules getting a 249th ticket when there was supposed to only be 248, the people of Workshop rewarded her anyway for catching the intruder, and being the one that hit the Bong Bong fairy just further cemented her possibly getting an extra ticket. The reporters admit that Androssi is amazing for being able pull this off, but Androssi turns around to end the interview stating that she's now tired. Androssi looks down at the pool as she and the reporter crew notice Viole, and his FUG team, walking amongst the crowd. The reporter point out to Androssi how this is the first time the Slayer Candidate is being seen out in the open after the E-rank Regulars were summoned up to the Archimedes.

[[folder:Androssi and Traveller]]

[[caption-width-right:300:Androssi spots Viole amongst the crowd]]

Upon closer look at Viole, the reporter admits that the aura the FUG Slayer is given off feels incredible, and that he somehow got the two Arm Devils (Horyang and Cassano) to be a part of his Workshop team. The reporter notes that just the sight of Viole gives him goosebumps since it's like looking at a real devil. However, Androssi remains silent looking down on the FUG Slayer since she's starting to suspect that Viole is Baam.

The reporter turns back to Androssi to inform her that everyone is looking forward to seeing her and Viole battle it out. He asks who she believes will win in a fight between the Zahard Princess and the Slayer Candidate, but Androssi reminds him that she's already stated that she's done with the interview. The reporter remains confused as Androssi orders him to stop following, and walks away.

On her own now, Androssi walks to the jail area of the Archimedes. She's greeted by two Workshop patrols, who order her to turn around since going into the jail is forbidden. However, Androssi reminds them that she was the one who caught the intruder in the first place, and has the Zahard Princess status to do what she wants. A voice is heard from one of the patrol's radios telling them that her Princess status is legit, and asks that the robots let her through, which they do. Walking through the jail area, Androssi realizes that she's walking beyond more than one jail-cell for many intruders, and questions what's so special about this ship that would have so many people trying to break into it.

[[caption-width-right:300:Androssi confronts the captured Traveller about his claim that Viole is Baam]]

Androssi reaches Travellers jail-cell, who notices that the Zahard Princess has come to visit him. Traveller complains to Androssi how she could throw him in jail to get an extra Archimedes ticket, and questions if Androssi truly has it in her to be a Zahard Princess. However, Androssi replies that it's his own fault for being an intruder.

Getting to the main subject, Androssi asks Traveller if he meant what he said when he shouted at her that Viole is 25th Baam. Traveller answers that it's not something easy to forget given how unusual the name sounded. She asks if he knows anything else, but Traveller answers that he doesn't since he and Baam had only just met at the time.

Realizing that he's telling the truth about not knowing much, Androssi gives of a disappointing sigh, and turns around to leave the jail. Traveller calls out to her begging her to stop, which Androssi asks why should she. He answers that if he doesn't get out of here, Emile will die, which grabs Androssi's attention. Looking back at Traveller, Androssi pulls out her Emile terminal, and asks if he's referring to this. Traveller answers that to be the case, but Androssi finds his answer nonsense since Emile is just a machine. However, Traveller states that Emile is definitely a human being, and that she's alive somewhere on this ship.

[[folder:Koon and Rak Reunion]]

[[caption-width-right:300:Finally reuniting, Rak informs Koon that Hwa Ryun told him everything]]

In their Archimedes room, Koon and Rak sit opposite their visitor. A confused Wangnan asks Koon if the crocodile before them is a friend, which a stressed Koon asks that Wangnan not speak of it since his head hurts regarding this.

A loud voice orders the Wangnan curry turtle to not get cocky calling him a crocodile, which confuses Wangnan even further as to why he's being called a curry turtle. Koon holds his head in more pain unable to believe that he's now hearing this again as a small crocodile sits before them introducing himself as Rak Wraithraiser.

Koon asks how Rak managed to get here, which the alligator answers that he was told by the red turtle moments before the Hand of Arlen incident happened, and was tasked by her to meet Koon at Workshop to help him. Koon deduces in his head that it was highly likely that the red turtle was Hwa Ryun, but questions why she gets to tell others while he has to keep this all a secret.

Wangnan interrupts his thoughts asking if Koon knows the alligator speaking to them, but Koon answers that he would like some alone time with Rak, which causes Wangnan to leave the room. Koon gets straight to the point asking Rak how much he knows, which the alligator answers that he not only knows what Rachel did to Koon's team during the Hand of Arlen incident, but that the black turtle, Baam, is alive. Seeing Koon unable to speak, Rak asks why the blue turtle is keeping quiet about this.

After leaving Koon's room, Wangnan heads over to a dinner table to have a meal with the other remaining Team Tangsooyook members: Yihwa, Goseng, and Akraptor. Dan is also eating with them, as well as Blarode and Quaetro strangely enough. Yihwa questions Wangnan if the newcomer was actually a friend of Koon's, whick Wangnan answers that the two of them seem to go way back. Akraptor finds it unbelievable that Koon would actually have someone he would call a dear friend.

Blarode points out that if the newcomer is an old friend of Koon's, then there's no doubt that he's just as cocky. Wangnan finds it confusing as to why him and Quaetro are eating with them, which Blarode answers that he wasn't given a choice since the two of them were assigned the same room as Koon and company. The top E-ranker reassures Wangnan that he won't hurt them during this time of peace, which Wangnan finds hard to believe. Yihwa asks if the friend who's currently with Koon is a cyborg, but given that Wangnan already knows that it's the alligator, Rak, Wangnan answers that that's not the case. Suddenly, Koon comes bursting through the door to their dining room; having been knocked back by Rak. Koon gets up to a sitting position looking at Rak walking towards him.

[[caption-width-right:300:Rak calls out Koon for his cowardice to save Baam right away from FUG]]

The alligator walks into the dining room, and calls his old teammate out for not accomplishing anything in the One Shot, One Opportunity game to get Baam back. The rest of the group from the dining room watches the argument, and are amazed to see that Koon's old friend is a tiny dinosaur. Rak yells that they need to go now to save the black turtle, but Koon answers that they can't since FUG isn't going to let go of their Slayer Candidate so easily, and they also have the Zahard Empire to worry about since they currently believe that Baam is dead.

Rak punches Koon ordering him to not make things so complicated, which amazes everyone in the room that someone actually had the balls to hit the Great Family member. Koon asks if Rak is wishing to die given how trapped Baam is currently, but Rak yells that he will bring the black turtle back himself if he has to. The alligator calls out Koon that the coward him at the moment won't be able to do anything, and that he's still the same idiot that misses everything ever since he left to make his new team that looked after Rachel.

The last statement stuns Koon for a bit as he throws Rak across the Room into Dan, which causes Rak to yell back at him that he can beat the blue turtle in one punch. Yihwa tries to help him up, but accidentally sets the alligator on fire, which shocks everybody. Meanwhile, Wangan watches as Koon leaves the dining area.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon discusses with Wangnan how he never liked losing things]]

A few moments later, Wangnan meets Koon in private, and points out how amazed he was to see how close him and Rak were, and that this was the first time he saw Koon showing genuine anger. Koon tries to deny it that Rak was just someone he fought alongside on the Floor of Tests, but Wangnan calls him out believing that to be a lie. Wangnan explains that he's come to realize how different Koon is compared to him. Unlike Wangnan, who will do whatever he can to continue a journey with a friend, Koon is someone that can go wherever he wants, but chooses to try to do everything himself so that a friend can be with him.

Having heard Wangnan's deduction, Koon explains that it's always been a habit of his. He provides Wangnan an example of finding a jewel, and then hiding it somewhere so he doesn't lose it. However, he never got a chance to wear the jewel since he feared that he was going to lose it.

Back in the dining room, Rak is seen throwing a tantrum about Koon refusing to do what he wants. Yihwa offers the dino-alligator a piece of jelly claiming that it will calm him down, but Rak throws it on the ground in anger since the blue jelly reminds him of Koon. Yihwa becomes enraged that Rak denied her kindness, and flares up to blast the alligator with her flames.

[[caption-width-right:300:Dan explains to Rak that Koon enjoyed being with his original 2nd Floor team]]

Moments later, Rak is seen eating the jelly after getting hit by Yihwa's flames. Dan takes a seat next to him, and asks if the story is true that he and Koon fought together on the Floor of Tests, which Rak states was true, and that he, himself, was the leader. Dan points out that he heard the story about about Koon and him from Ran, which confuses Rak since he doesn't know who ran is. Dan informs the alligator that Ran's a member of the great Koon Family similar to his taemmate Koon.

Dan explains to Rak that he heard the story from Ran once about why Koon has always been so obsessed about what went down during his Floor of Tests journey. Dan also brings up the time when Ran told him about Koon's life when he was still a part of the Great Family. About how Koon's mom had been obsessed with trying to gain power, so Koon always had political talk surrounding his life.

Ran continued the story that despite Koon looking like he was enjoying his life in the Great Family, it had actually been suffocating for him. So Koon chose to ruin everything about him so that he could run away from the Tower and the Great Family.

Finishing the story, Dan states that he heard that Rak was one of the first people that met Koon in the Tower, and that Koon would tell stories about how joyful it was being with his original Floor of Tests team. Rak remains silent thinking about everything Dan just told him, but is interrupted when Yihwa and Quaetro appear wanting to take a picture with the talking dinosaur-alligator. Realizing he's in trouble, Rak uses this chance to run away from the crazy flame-Regulars.

[[caption-width-right:300:Rak reveals that hearing about Koon and Baam being alive made him happy]]

Some time later, Rak meets Koon in private again. Koon orders Rak to get lost if all he's here for is to try to make up, which Rak thinks to himself that Koon is a bastard. Standing next to Koon, the two of them look out at the sky above the Archimedes. Rak admits that he was happy when he found out that the black turtle was alive, and that he was going to get chance to see Koon, the blue turtle, again if he was to come here. The alligator also mentions that it made him happy thinking the three of them would be able to climb the Tower again.

Turning back around to leave, Rak points out that upon seeing Koon's current state, he's realized that he was the only one thinking this way. That the current Koon has some mental disorder that has made him a timid, egotistic, and fussy turtle that always has to worry before doing anything. Koon asks Rak once more if he's here to fight, but Rak states that all he wanted was to be happy together with the blue and black turtles. Rak begins to leave, but Koon calls out to him that now's not the time to be happy. Rak looks back at him in surprise as Koon explains that he won't be happy until they retrieve Baam and the winning prize away from FUG.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon announces to Rak that he will be more evil than FUG to bring Baam back]]

Koon asks for Rak to feel the same way until they knock out the people from FUG, which excites the alligator seeing his past teammate acting like his old self. Koon attempts to deny it that he hasn't beemn hesitating at all, but he orders for Rak to look forward to the tournament tomorrow. He claims to Rak that he will be more cunning and evil than FUG in order to bring Baam back. Meanwhile, Viole is seen looking out at the sky from the Archimedes room that was provided to the FUG Team.

Elsewhere, Hatsu arrives at the Archimedes item store on the ships 3rd Floor. Holding an Emile terminal in his hand, Hatsu remains confusd as to how this is supposed to help him.

Hatsu thinks back to when Leesoo handed an Emile terminal over to him back at their room. Leesoo explains that the chatting robot is famous amongst the Regulars these days, and that Emile will answer whatever is asked to it. Leesoo figures that Hatsu could perhaps use it to help him pick out a new sword, which Hatsu tries to deny that he doesn't need one. However, Leesoo points out that despite knowing how attached Hatsu was to the sword, it's still a broken weapon that can't be used anymore. He asks for Leesoo to finally let go of that broken sword, which leaves Hatsu silent.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hatsu comes across the Acorn Workshop during his search for a new sword]]

Back to the present, Hatsu ends up walking down a 3rd Floor Archimedes tunnel unable to find the item shop. He ends up at an entrance to a place called the Acorn Workshop, and wonders if said place will have a sword that's strong enough to stab a devil. Hatsu remains confused thinking that the Acorn Workshop looks like some sort of restaurant as the Arm Devils, Horyang and Cassano, are seen walking nearby completely unnoticed by Hatsu.

Meanwhile, Androssi is seen messaging Emile what's up, which Emile answers that the chatting bot is having breathing exercises, and on a diet in order to one day get a boyfriend. She thinks about what Traveller told her if Emile truly is someone that's alive on the ship.

Androssi flashes back to when she was standing in front of Traveller's prison. Traveller explains what he means by Emile being a real person that could die soon. Androssi remains confused by the statement, which Traveller answers that the researchers of Workshop are planning to turn Emile into a terrifying weapon. Androssi questions if Traveller truly thinks that she will believe that, but he begs her to trust him that Emile's life really is in danger. Traveller points out that he was lonely never having a family, but that all changed when Emile gave him hope to live as the savior of his life. He begs Androssi to head to the Acorn Workshop within the Archimedes, and save Emile before the Workshop Battle is over.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hatsu spots the Arm Devils, Horyang and Cassano, entering the Acorn Workshop]]

Back to the present, Androssi next asks where Emile lives, which the chatting bot answers that she lives in Androssi's heart. Androssi thinks back to what Traveller told her about the Acorn Workshop, but states to herself that she has no time to get involved with other people's love stories.

Back to Hatsu, the swordsman Regular arrives at the gate of the Acorn Workshop. He presses the doorbell multiple times, but remains outside confused as to why no one's coming to answer. Believing the place to be closed for the time being, Hatsu figures that he should probably go back, but his attention is brought to Cassano and Horyang walking nearby. The Arm Devils continue to approach the Acorn Workshop door as Hatsu uses the little time he has left to find a hiding spot.

Looking at Cassano and Horyang from his hiding spot, Hatsu questions to himself why they're here. Hatsu sees Cassano press the doorbell, but this time, sees the door open for the Arm Devils. Cassano and Horyang enter, and walk down a staircase to the Acorn Workshop with Hatsu following close behind. As the two Arm Devils walk down the staircase, Horyang questions Cassano if what he said was true about Researcher Sophia being here. Horyang complains that Cassano has been keeping quiet ever since the Hand of Arlen incident.

He then questions him once more why he's a part of FUG, but Cassano answers that he found find out for himself, which confuses Horyang. Cassano reaches another closed door, and opens it for him and Horyang. To Horyang's surprise, he sees Researcher Sophia waiting for them in the room. Upon seeing Horyang, Sophia greets him using the name she gave him, Ilmar.

Horyang falls to his knees as Sophia gives him a hug in return stating that it's been a long time. Cassano remains off on the side in silence watching the reunion between Sophia and Ilmar. From outside the room, Hatsu is seen behind a wall spying on the reunion between Sophia and the Devil Arms. He remains confused about the current event wondering why Cassano and Horyang are connected to a researcher woman that's a part of the Acorn Workshop.

[[caption-width-right:300:Hatsu gets caught by Beta, an experiment of the Acorn Workshop]]

Hatsu comes to the conclusion that the Arm Devils being here at the Workshop are somehow connected, and believes that searching around here may provide him the answer as to how Cassano and Horyang got their powers. Before he could get moving however, Hatsu is greeted by a boy in bandages connected to a perfusion stand, and calls Hatsu a peeping tom. The bandage boy asks if Hatsu's having a fun time, which causes the swordsman Regular to react.

Hatsu gets up ready to face the bandage boy. His first instinct is to go for his sword, but suddenly realizes that he doesn't have the weapon anymore. The bandage boy questions if Hatsu is trying to play with him, but before he could act against Hatsu, they're greeted by Cassano and Horyang, who had heard their commotion. It's at this point that Hatsu realizes that he messed up.

Moments later, Hatsu gets his arms cuffed behind his back, and is thrown into an emepy room within the Acorn Workshop. Cassano informs Hatsu that while he doesn't know how he got in here, he will remain here until the Workshop Battle is over. Hatsu orders the Devil of the Right Arm to tell him what they're planning here, but Cassano shuts the door, and locks it; leaving Hatsu banging on the door yelling at Cassano to open it up. Cassano returns to Horyang and Sophia, and is surprised to see the bandage boy now hanging out with them.

[[caption-width-right:300:Sophia shows off Acorn Workshop's Emile experiment to Horyang and Cassano]]

Sophia introduces the the boy to Ilmar and Cassano as Beta, but he begins to walk away saying that he's not interested in halves. Seeing Beta ignore them, Sophia apologizes to the Arm Devils for his actions. She explains that Beta is a shy boy that's been living in the lab, and that he's technically Ilmar and Cassano's brother. Horyang is left surprised hearing that he has a brother as Sophia asks Ilmar and Cassano to follow her to show them her research.

Going down an elevator, Horyang and Cassano follow Sophia to a giant facility of the Acorn Workshop within the Archimedes. Surprised by the size of it, Horyang looks around wondering what the Archimedes researchers are doing here. Behind them is a guard heard saying to himself that it's almost time for him to change shifts. Reaching a giant white egg-shaped object that has Emile written on it, Sophia asks that they look upon it as this is the weapon she has been working on here. Cassano and Horyang look at it in shock as Sophia explains that it's a weapon called Emile. The researcher states that once Emile wakes up, it will bring about a new wave that will shake the Tower. Inside the egg-shaped object, they hear a voice continuously saying the phrase, I love you, over and over.

At the elevator of the facility for Emile, the guards are seen changing shift. The previous guard enters the elevator, and takes off his helmet; revealing himself to be Lero-Ro, the former Test Administrator Ranker from the Floor of Tests. Within the elevator, Lero-Ro gives off a sigh of relief having not been caught yet, and looks back into the Acorn Workshop.

!!Short Summary

The first day aboard the Archimedes, Io and Punk, who are going to be the hosts of the Workshop Battle, discuss in the ship's control room how the tournaments going to go. Here, the two hosts are greeted by High Ranker Madoraco, a genius businessman who helped raise enough funds for Workshop's research due to the amount of potential Regulars who have appeared amongst the E-ranks. Io and Punk express concern about the Great Teacher finding out about what they're doing, but Madoraco asks that they both trust him as he's about to show off the greatest Workshop Battle ever. Madoraco also points out that nothing will go wrong as long as they finish developing Emile.

At the Archimedes pool, the E-rank Regulars are all seen having a great time. Here, Leesoo exchanges pleasantries with a female Regular named Ron Mei, the teammate of the person that's considered to be the strongest E-rank Regular. Leesoo is also left concerned about the state of his team due to Hatsu losing his sword, and Aleksai being out cold. Meanwhile, Androssi gets interviewed about how she got the extra 249th ticket to get onto the Archimedes; explaining that it's because she not only was rewarded for capturing an intruder, but shot the game's Bong Bong fairy. Upon spotting Viole and his FUG Team, she decides to end the interview, and heads off to the Archimedes jail room to visit the intruder she caught.

Greeting Traveller at his jail cell, Androssi is left disappointed that the only thing he knows is that Viole had called himself 25th Baam. Before leaving, Traveller begs the Zahard Princess to let him out, or else Emile will die. Despite Androssi finding it nonsense, Traveller explains to her that Emile isn't a machine, but is a live person somewhere on the Archimedes.

Meanwhile, Koon and Wangnan are greeted by the former's previous alligator teammate, Rak Wraithraiser. Koon asks for Wangnan to leave him to have some alone time with his old friend, which Rak reveals that a red turtle (implied to be Hwa Ryun) had told him everything about the Hand of Arlen incident; which includes Koon's team falling apart, and Baam being alive.

Wangnan heads off to the dining room to eat with the remaining members in Team Tangsooyok (Yihwa, Akraptor, and Goseng), and discuss the appearance of Koon's friend. Dan is with them, as well as Blarode and Quaetro, who had been assigned the same Archimedes room. Their meal is interrupted due to Koon and Rak breaking out into a fight over how to save Baam. Koon claims that they can't do anything currently since Baam is trapped in FUG, and have to worry about the Zahard Empire finding out about his survival, but Rak counters that Koon is being afraid of losing anything, and isn't deciding on what he wants to do. Not wanting to believe it, Koon leaves the room.

After the fight, Wangnan speaks with Koon in private, and points out that he realized how different he and Koon are. That Wangnan would do anything to stand alongside a friend while Koon tries to take all the burdens away from his friends to continue being with them. Koon replies that it's always been a habit of his.

Meanwhile, Rak is left throwing a tantrum after not being able to convince Koon. Yihwa tries to cheer him up, but ends up burning him in anger when Rak throws away her blue jelly that reminds him of Koon. Dan is the next to speak to Rak, who informs the alligator that he had heard the stories about how Koon had been shaken up about what happened on the Floor of Tests. He informs Rak that Koon sees his original team on the 2nd Floor as the best time of his life considering Koon's suffocating life when he was living with the Koon Family before he was summoned into the inner Tower. Afterwards, Yihwa and Quaetro chase after Rak wanting a picture with the dino-alligator.

Escaping Yihwa and Quaetro, Rak meets with Koon in private again. Koon orders him away if he's just here to apologize about earlier, but Rak states that he became happy upon hearing that Koon and Baam were still alive. Rak points out that he wants to continue being happy, but it's not going to happen with Koon's current state of worrying about everything, and not doing anything to change that. Upon hearing that, Koon finally has the resolve. He tells Rak that he will be more evil than the bastards at FUG in order to bring Baam back, which excites Rak seeing him acting like his old self again.

Elsewhere on the Archimedes, Hatsu arrives at the item shop of the Archimedes to pick out a new sword to replace the old sentimental one that was destroyed by Cassano during One Shot, One Opportunity. However, his search for a store leads him to the Acorn Workshop. The Arm Devils, Cassano and Horyang are also seen walking together here.

Following her talk with Traveller, Androssi is left thinking about if the story about Emile being trapped in the Acorn Workshop of the Archimedes is true or not. However, she ignores it for now since she has other issues to worry about than someone else's love life.

Back to the Acorn Workshop, Hatsu hides after realizing that Cassano and Horyang are going in. He follow after the two Arm Devils to a room in the Acorn Workshop, and spies on their tearful reunion with Researcher Sophia. However, Hatsu is caught by a boy in bandages, and is unable to fight him due to not having his sword. The Arm Devils notice the commotion, which results in Hatsu getting cuffed, and thrown into a locked room. Afterwards, Sophia introduces Horyang and Cassano to the bandage boy as someone named Beta, who is technically a brother to the two Devil Arms. However, Beta leaves them claiming that he's not interested in halves.

Researcher Sophia leads Horyang and Cassano to a facility in the Acorn Workshop where she reveals to them what she's been working on. The two Devil Arms see a giant egg-shaped container called Emile, which Sophia explains to be a weapon that will bring a new wave to the Tower. Nearby, the Acorn Workshop guards are seen changing shifts as the one departing is revealed to be Lero-Ro; having infiltrated the Archimedes.

The next day at the Grand Stadium of the Archimedes, Io and Punk announce that the Workshop Battle will now begin.
