!!!Chapter 104 (Season 2: Ch. 25)

In the present, the ranking match amongst the six Regulars in Khun's team goes down as Dan stands ready to show off what he can do. However, Michael, Gyetang, and Apple quickly surrender, much to Dan's confusion as he gets instantly destroyed by Nobic. What's left is the match of the strongest between Nobic and Ran. As Dan watches, he learns from his new teammates that Ran is actually one of the top-5 strongest E-rank Regulars that has defeated Nobic many times before, which Nobic just uses the new team member ranking matches as an excuse to fight Ran again. In the end, Ran comes out the victor in the duel yet again as the strongest of Khun's team followed by Gyetang (#3), Apple (#4), Michael (#5) and Dan (#6).

At a cafe of the 25th Floor, Khun meets with a speedster Scout Regular known as Edin Dan, who thinks that Khun's hiring him to catch silver fish. However, Dan loses interest when it turns out that Khun's trying to recruit him for a new Tower team he's creating. Khun points out that Dan has proven himself to be so quick that he doesn't even get caught on Lighthouse footage, but Dan remains disinterested since he's suffering from 20th Floor Disorder (a disorder that occurs when Regulars that bypass the 20th Floor have grown sick of watching people die. Thus, they grow tired of climbing the Tower, and are satisfied with being just E-Rank Regular status). In return, Khun baits Dan with a piece of valuable Suspendium float rock. Khun explains that in order to win the Suspendium, Dan needs to escape the cafe where everyone around might be Khun's allies that he hired, but if Dan doesn't, he has to join Khun's team.

!!!Short Summary

At a cafe of the 25th Floor, Khun meets with a speedster scout known as Edin Dan in an attempt to recruit him for a new Tower team he's creating. However, Dan refuses since he's suffering from 20th Floor Disorder, which causes Khun to bait him with a piece of valuable float rock. In order to win the float rock, Dan needs to escape the cafe, but if he doesn't, he has to join Khun's team.

The game starts, and Dan escapes to the hallway, but Khun had already blocked off the path with a wall. Khun attempts to ask him to join his team once more, but Dan shows off his amazing speed to escape Khun, and returns to the cafe's main dining room. Figuring that he's won, Dan states to the cashier that Khun will be paying for his meal. However, Dan fails to realize that the cashier is working for Khun, and gets shot by a tranquilizer, which causes Dan to fall asleep.

With Dan kidnapped, Khun returns with the scout Regular at hand to his lodge somewhere on the 25th Floor. Here, Khun meets with Rachel, the person he's making a new team for to inform her how his last trip went.

Dan wakes up in Khun's lodge, and is greeted by Nobic, a spear-bearer in Khun's team. He tells Dan of the current situation Khun is in with a girl that can't walk, and leads Dan to a location where he introduces the scout Regular to the rest of the team: Apple the light-bearer and scout, Michael the wave controller, Gyetang the spear-bearer, and Ran the fisherman. Now that the team has all gathered, Nobic announces that it's time to have their ranking match to determine who's the strongest.

In Rachel's room, Khun comforts her after being told that she's been having bad dreams about Bam. He also asks for her to be sure to tell him any other problems she may come across, and leaves her alone again. However, Rachel uses this time alone to get up, and stretch out her legs since she's had to keep up her charade of being a cripple. Happy that a team is ready to help her climb the Tower again, Rachel states to herself that she hopes to see the star soon.

Meanwhile, after his meeting with Rachel, Khun contacts Shibisu to inform him that his new team is ready to climb the Tower. Shibisu asks how the situation is on his end, which Khun admits that, having already caught on to Rachel's betrayal, he still finds it unbelievable that Rachel's been lying to them.

Flashing back to six years ago on the Floor of Tests, Khun informs Shibisu that Lero-Ro had checked up on Rachel after the Submerged Fish Hunt test, and found out that her legs were perfectly fine. Realizing that they had been betrayed, Khun comes up with a plan for Shibisu to keep quiet about this between just the two of them and asks that he continues to climb the Tower with the rest of the team that Bam fought to protect. Khun states that when the time comes, he will break away from the group with Rachel in order to form a new team that will keep watch on her.

The ranking match amongst the six Regulars in Khun's team goes down as Dan stands ready to show off what he can do, but is easily beaten by Nobic. Michael, Gyetang, and Apple, all give up right away as Dan watches the match of the strongest go down between Nobic and Ran. It's at this point that Dan learns that Ran is one of the top-5 strongest E-rank Regulars that has defeated Nobic many times before, and comes out the victor in the duel yet again as the strongest of Khun's team.

Khun's six teammates return to the lodge, and are informed by him that the team is now ready to take the 25th Floor test to start climbing the Tower again. Khun then reminds the team that his goal remains the same to take over for Khun Eduan as the head of the Great Khun Family, and will grant the team any wish once he accomplishes it. He also asks that they do one thing for him in return by helping Rachel climb the Tower. However, he states that they should only pretend to be her friend, and come hate her to the point of not rescuing her if she cries wolf, because she is the one who killed his best friend.

Meanwhile, Rachel is seen in her room breaking out in laughter.

!!!Long Summary

The 20th story arc of the ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' series consisting of chapters 23 - 25 from the second season. The arc centers around Khun building up a new team of Regulars away from his original Floor of Tests group in order to keep a watchful eye over Rachel knowing that she betrayed Bam.

Finally accepting that Rachel has been pretending to be hurt, Shibisu questions why she's doing this, but Khun answers that even he doesn't know. He deduces that there's a possibility that she's being threatened by someone, but also comes to the conclusion that Supervisor Yu Han Sung was in on this since he's felt like there's some sort of connection between him and Rachel. Still confused over the situation, Shibisu questions what Khun plans to do since they've all promised to help Rachel climb the Tower.

In Rachel's room, Khun comforts her after being told that she's been having bad dreams about Baam. He also asks for her to be sure to tell him any other problems she may come across, and leaves her alone again. However, Rachel uses this time alone to get up, and stretch out her legs since she's had to keep up her charade of being a cripple. Happy that a team is ready to help her climb the Tower again, Rachel states to herself that she hopes to see the star soon.

Flashing back to six years ago on the Floor of Tests, Khun informs Shibisu that Lero-Ro had checked up on Rachel after the Submerged Fish Hunt test, and found out that her legs were perfectly fine. Realizing that they had been betrayed, Khun comes up with a plan for Shibisu to keep quiet about this between just the two of them and asks that he continues to climb the Tower with the rest of the team that Baam fought to protect. Khun states that when the time comes, he will break away from the group with Rachel in order to form a new team that will keep watch on her.

Back to Rachel's room, she mentions to Khun how she saw Baam in her dream again last night. Rachel explains that he was trapped in a deep darkness begging for her to save him, and mentions how she's now been feeling like Baam could possibly still be alive, which causes Khun to feel sorry for her.

Beginning to tear up, she continues by stating that it's been six years now, but still can't forget his attempt to save her from the Bull, and was forced to watch him fade away with the creature into the watery abyss. Khun wipes away her tears, and reassures her that Baam died to save her, and wouldn't want to see Rachel crying. He then gives her a hug, which causes Rachel to hug him back, and thanks him for comforting her.

Back to Rachel's room, the two of them stop hugging as Khun asks if she's now feeling better. Rachel apologizes to him that it's been hard for her since she always has to rely on Khun, which Khun reassures her that it's ok to keep relying on him. However, he admits that it will be hard for him to replace Baam as her means of support, which comforts Rachel.

The story flashes back to six years ago returning to the Floor of Tests. Khun is seen sitting with Shibisu, who's surprised to hear the former telling him that Rachel lied to the group about the results of the Submerged Fish Hunt Test. He asks if Khun is crazy, which Khun admits that he is. The answer angers Shibisu, who then asks what Rachel would gain from this lying to them about what happened to Baam. Khun answers that it's because of something Lero-Ro told him.

Thinking it over, Khun states that he will form a new team while Shibisu takes the rest of the group to continue climbing the Tower. The answer surprises Shibisu as Khun explains that they should just keep this between the two of them since Baam's death is what brought the team together, and that it would easily fall apart the moment they find out about Rachel's treachary. Khun also informs Shibisu that he doesn't want to ruin the team that Baam wanted to protect, and asks that Shibisu does this for him by leading the other Regulars up the Tower.

Khun then points out that it should only be him that countinues to suspect that Rachel killed Baam, and states that it's only right that the cruelest person of the group (himself) should take this role. Shibisu remains shocked by Khun's words as Khun explains that Rachel is the only clue they have at the moment that could lead them to Baam's true killers.

However, in return, he asks the group to do only one thing for him until he can accomplish this goal. Khun thinks back to the statement he told Shibisu about how it's too cruel to suspect that Rachel may have killed Baam. That it has to be a job done by him to be that cruel person.

[[caption-width-right:300:Believing that Rachel killed Baam, Khun orders the team to not grow attached to her]]

In his mind, Khun apologizes to Baam that going this path with Rachel needs to be done. Looking at the six Regulars, Khun asks the team to be the boundary that protects Rachel. He then asks that they help her climb the Tower, but only pretend to be friendly and nice.

* {{Revenge}}: Khun wants revenge against Rachel and Baam's killers due to what they did.

The 20th story arc of the ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' series consisting of chapters 23 - 25 from the second season. The arc centers around Koon building up a new team of Regulars away from his original Floor of Tests group in order to keep a watchful eye over Rachel knowing that she betrayed Baam.

At a cafe of the 25th Floor, Koon meets with a speedster scout known as Edin Dan in an attempt to recruit him for a new Tower team he's creating. However, Dan refuses since he's suffering from 20th Floor Disorder, which causes Koon to bait him with a piece of valuable float rock. In order to win the float rock, Dan needs to escape the cafe, but if he doesn't, he has to join Koon's team.

The game starts, and Dan escapes to the hallway, but Koon had already blocked off the path with a wall. Koon attempts to ask him to join his team once more, but Dan shows off his amazing speed to escape Koon, and returns to the cafe's main dining room. Figuring that he's won, Dan states to the cashier that Koon will be paying for his meal. However, Dan fails to realize that the cashier is working for Koon, and gets shot by a tranquilizer, which causes Dan to fall asleep.

With Dan kidnapped, Koon returns with the scout Regular at hand to his lodge somewhere on the 25th Floor. Here, Koon meets with Rachel, the person he's making a new team for to inform her how his last trip went.

Dan wakes up in Koon's lodge, and is greeted by Novick, a spear-bearer in Koon's team. He tells Dan of the current situation Koon is in with a girl that can't walk, and leads Dan to a location where he introduces the scout Regular to the rest of the team: Apple the light-bearer and scout, Michael the wave controller, Gyetang the spear-bearer, and Ran the fisherman. Now that the team has all gathered, Novick announces that it's time to have their ranking match to determine who's the strongest.

In Rachel's room, Koon comforts her after being told that she's been having bad dreams about Baam. He also asks for her to be sure to tell him any other problems she may come across, and leaves her alone again. However, Rachel uses this time alone to get up, and stretch out her legs since she's had to keep up her charade of being a cripple. Happy that a team is ready to help her climb the Tower again, Rachel states to herself that she hopes to see the star soon.

Meanwhile, after his meeting with Rachel, Koon contacts Leesoo to inform him that his new team is ready to climb the Tower. Leesoo asks how the situation is on his end, which Koon admits that, having already caught on to Rachel's betrayal, he still finds it unbelievable that Rachel's been lying to them.

Flashing back to six years ago on the Floor of Tests, Koon informs Leesoo that Lero-Ro had checked up on Rachel after the Submerged Fish Hunt test, and found out that her legs were perfectly fine. Realizing that they had been betrayed, Koon comes up with a plan for Leesoo to keep quiet about this between just the two of them and asks that he continues to climb the Tower with the rest of the team that Baam fought to protect. Koon states that when the time comes, he will break away from the group with Rachel in order to form a new team that will keep watch on her.

The ranking match amongst the six Regulars in Koon's team goes down as Dan stands ready to show off what he can do, but is easily beaten by Novick. Michael, Gyetang, and Apple, all give up right away as Dan watches the match of the strongest go down between Novick and Ran. It's at this point that Dan learns that Ran is one of the top-5 strongest E-rank Regulars that has defeated Novick many times before, and comes out the victor in the duel yet again as the strongest of Koon's team.

Koon's six teammates return to the lodge, and are informed by him that the team is now ready to take the 25th Floor test to start climbing the Tower again. Koon then reminds the team that his goal remains the same to take over for Koon Eduan as the head of the Great Koon Family, and will grant the team any wish once he accomplishes it. He also asks that they do one thing for him in return by helping Rachel climb the Tower. However, he states that they should only pretend to be her friend, and come hate her to the point of not rescuing her if she cries wolf, because she is the one who killed his best friend.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon attempts to recruit the speedster, Edin Dan, into the new team he's making]]

On the 25th Floor of the Tower, Koon is seen waiting at a restaurant table for someone. However, having already finished his drink, Koon begins to get impatient that the person hasn't shown up yet. Eventually, the person shows up, and apologizes to Koon for being late. Sticking out his hand to greet Koon, the scout Regular introduces himself as Edin Dan.

Koon orders another drink as Dan begins his chat with Koon. Dan mentions how he knows that Koon is looking for folk who can catch Silver Fish, which are difficult to catch at this time of the year since it's not spawning season for them. However, Dan points out that Koon found the right person since he's the only one in the area that knows how to catch one.

He offers Koon his service for 2000 points, which Koon admits to not be a bad deal, but instead asks Dan how many more points it will take to recruit Dan for his team, which confuses the scout Regular. After thinking it over, Dan looks down in disappointment realizing that this is a recruitment attempt rather than a business deal. Dan gets up, and states to Koon that he's not ready to climb the Tower again.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon baits Dan to play a game with him for a valuable float rock]]

Before leaving however, Koon introduces himself as the Great Family member, Koon Aguero Agnis, which irritates Dan that Koon ignored his last statement. Koon continues by going over the scout known as Edin Dan. How he's a speedster that has never been caught on camera by an enemy lighthouse, and has been sought out by many Regulars attempting to form a team with him. However, for some odd reason, Dan has refused all of them, and only lives out his life on the 25th Floor as a hunter.

Dan retakes his seat as Koon asks why the scout Regular no longer wants to climb the Tower. Dan mentions that it's none of Koon's business to probe his life, which Koon replies that it is since he's creating a team to climb the Tower. In return, Dan answers that he's just sick of watching the Regulars he's with get killed. Koon answers back that he finds that to be a lame answer since it's a clear case of 20th Floor Disorder (Regulars who give up climbing the Tower after becoming an E-Rank by passing the 20th Floor), which annoys Dan upon hearing that.

Still wanting Dan for his team, Koon asks that the only fair option is to make a bet between the two of them, which irritates Dan even further that Koon is forcing his decision on him. Koon states that the two of them will play a game. If Dan can escape the cafe without getting caught, he will win, and Koon will leave him alone. But if Koon catches him, than he will win, and Dan has to join his team. Dan asks why he should play along with this game, which causes Koon to reveal a blue rock on the table that Dan recognizes to be a valuable floating stone, and a large one at that.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon explains that Dan will win the game, and the float rock, if he escapes the cafe]]

Koon asks if he's now in, which Dan excitedly announces that he is. Dan thinks to himself how much of a moron Koon is for believing that he can outdo him at speed as Koon explains the rules. Through any means necessary, Dan must escape the cafe by avoiding everyone within it. The revelation confuses Dan, which Koon answers that before Dan arrived, he hired everyone in the cafe to play in the game as well.

He informs Dan of his plan that even if he's known as a speedster scout, it would still be troublesome for Dan if everyone is after him. Dan refuses to believe it claiming the plan to be a bluff, and asks how he could possibly afford to hire all of them. However, Koon orders for Dan to test it if the scout Regular doesn't believe him. But warns Dan that they're all strong Regulars, and points out that he would prefer to not have a corpse as a new teammate.

Koon asks for Dan to give up, and asks once more for the scout Regular to join his team, which leaves Dan irritated. Dan then looks around, and notices that the exit is actually very close by. In his mind, he admits that Koon planned this all out really well, but announces to Koon that he made one huge mistake, and throws the tablecloth over the Great Family member. Koon is shown to be surprised by the action as Dan quickly grabs the float rock, and runs out the exit door. Looking at the exit, Koon sees that Dan has already disappeared into the cafe hallway.

[[caption-width-right:300:Dan shows off his speed by instantly running passed Koon]]

Running through the hallway outside the dining room of the cafe, Dan gives off a smile, and thinks over how stupid Koon is for setting up their table right next to the exit. However, Dan stalls to a complete halt when he sees that the hallway before him has been blocked off by a wall that wasn't there previously. Koon then appears behind him to point out that the scout Regular is now trapped, and calls Dan a moron for not realizing that leading him into the blocked hallway was such an obvious trap. Koon reveals that he didn't actually hire anyone in the cafe, which annoys Dan knowing that he completely fell for the trick.

Dan asks if Koon had lied to him, which Koon answers with a question of his own as to why Dan would trust him, and orders for the scout Regular to give up. Dan gives off a laugh, and asks Koon if the Great Family member truly believes that he won by trapping him in this hallway. Koon points out that he's actually quite fast to keep up with Dan, but Dan announces that he's still a lot faster.

To Koon's surprise, Dan instantly bypasses Koon to go back for the entrance into the cafe's dining room. Dan looks back at Koon, and yells toward the Great Family member that while his hallway block was a nice plan, he underestimated Dan's speed. Taunting Koon, Dan shows off the float rock to Koon once more, who admits that Dan is indeed a fast Regular. Reentering the cafe dining room, Dan begins to whistle in victory at how cocky and stupid Koon is turning out to be. He runs up to the cafe cashier to pay for his meal, and states that the blue-haired guy will pay for it.

However, as Dan turns around to walk away, the cashier pulls out a tranquilizer gun, and shoots it into Dan's neck. The green substance in the dart begins to enter Dan's body as he falls to the ground unable to move. Dan is left on the ground unable to make sense of what just happened as Koon appears behind him. He explains to Dan that he got hit by a strong anesthetic, and states that Dan will fall asleep very soon. Dan yells back at Koon how he claimed that he didn't actually hire anyone here, but all Koon does is pick up the float rock that Dan left on the ground. Giving off a laugh, Koon questions once more why the scout Regular trusted his word.

Switching to a lodge somewhere on the 25th Floor, Koon gets off a transport vehicle known as a Seal Taxi, and pays the driver before entering. A red-eyed Regular with a black-shirt and green-collar is seen standing by as Koon enters the lodge. The Regular greets Koon, which the latter finds it boring that nothing new seems to be happening around here. Koon then pulls out his lighthouse as the sleeping Dan is seen dropping out of it.

[[folder:Koon's Team for Rachel]]

[[caption-width-right:300:Having captured Dan, Koon returns to his 25th Floor lodge]]

The red-eyed Regular asks who this is, which Koon answers to be a Regular he had to be a bit rough with, and asks for the former to teach Dan a lesson the moment he wakes up. Moments later, the red-eyed Regular is seen carrying the unconscious Dan to another room as he mentions how Koon kidnapped yet another Regular. Koon then walks to another room in the lodge, and knocks on the door. He asks Rachel if he can enter, which causes her to react asking him to wait. Moments later, she asks for Koon to come in. Koon enters the room as Rachel is seen lying on her bed under covers, and asks how his trip went.

In another room of the lodge, Dan finally wakes up only to be greeted by the red-eyed Regular in the black-and-green shirt. Confused by the sight, Dan asks who this Regular is as the latter introduces himself as Novick, a spear-bearer in Koon's team.

Dan is left annoyed at the thought that he's with someone from Koon's team, which Novick answers that Dan's been brought to the team's lodge after he had been tranquilized. Dan facepalms in disappointment that he fell for Koon's floating stone bait, and now has to climb the Tower with the man that swindled him, which Novick finds amusing that Dan has now finally given up.

[[caption-width-right:300:Novick explains Koon's situation to Dan]]

Walking up to Dan, Novick introduces himself again, and welcomes Dan to their team. He mentions that hurling is his specialty as Dan goes along with it. Shaking Novick's hand, Dan introduces himself as well, and that he's a scout speedster, which Novick admits that he's already heard a lot about him. Feeling the strength in his hand, Dan admits that the spear-bearer he's looking at is indeed a strong Regular. Novick next states that the other members of the team are waiting outside, and that he will introduce them to him. However, he warns Dan that the group he's about to meet are all dangerous, and tells Dan not to show off his true strengths to them here.

Dan continues to remain silent as Novick asks if he has any questions. Dan admits to himself that he has many, but only asks why Koon is so desperate to climb the Tower by forcing people to join his group. Novick answers that it's because there's a girl in the lodge that can't use her legs, and that it's his goal to help her reach the top of the Tower. Dan finds it surprising that Koon probably has a romantic side to him, but Novick answers that he shouldn't make jokes like that around him, or else he could end up missing a finger.

Back to Rachel's room, she mentions to Koon how she saw Baam in her dream again last night. Rachel explains that he was trapped in a deep darkness begging for her to save him, and mentions how she's now been feeling like Baam could possibly still be alive, which causes Koon to feel sorry for her.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon comforts Rachel after hearing about her bad dreams]]

Beginning to tear up, she continues by stating that it's been six years now, but still can't forget his attempt to save her from the Bull, and was forced to watch him fade away with the creature into the watery abyss. Koon wipes away her tears, and reassures her that Baam died to save her, and wouldn't want to see Rachel crying. He then gives her a hug, which causes Rachel to hug him back, and thanks him for comforting her.

Returning to Dan's room, the scout Regular remains quiet after Novick had told him the entire situation, and admits it to be a complicated situation. Novick asks that the conversation stays between them, and to not tell anyone else, as he leads Dan out in order to introduce Dan to the rest of their team. Some time after, Novick and Dan travel by Seal Taxi to a grass field on the 25th Floor. The two of them approach four Regulars, a black-skinned man, a woman wearing a lot of make-up, a yellow-bird, and a short boy with blue-hair similar to Koon's. The black-skinned Regular greets the two for their arrival, as Novick introduces the group to their new scout, Dan. Novick also introduces the four Regulars:

The light-bearer and scout, make-up woman, Apple. The wave controller, dark-skinned doctor, Michael. The spear-bearer, yellow-bird cook, Gyetang, who Koon promised it would meet Princess Androssi. And finally, the blue-haired fisherman, Ran.

[[caption-width-right:300:Dan meets the rest of Koon's team to have their ranking match]]

Having heard the team introduction, Dan is left amazed that Koon turned out to know Androssi, one of the strongest E-rank Regulars, which Novick admits to be the truth. Novick reveals that Androssi took part in the same 2nd level's Floor of Tests with Koon, and that they're likely to meet up with her later on due to the two being previous teammates. The revelation shocks Dan, who believes that it might be possible to climb the tower with Anak Zahard and Hatsu as well, which Novick admits that the possibility is definitely there. Novick then turns to the group, and asks if nows the time for them to start. Dan asks what Novick is referring to, which Novick answers that within a team of Regulars, there's always a test to see how the members rank amongst each other power wise.

Back to Rachel's room, the two of them stop hugging as Koon asks if she's now feeling better. Rachel apologizes to him that it's been hard for her since she always has to rely on Koon, which Koon reassures her that it's ok to keep relying on him. However, he admits that it will be hard for him to replace Baam as her means of support, which comforts Rachel.

Getting up to leave, Koon asks for Rachel to take it easy since they will be climbing the Tower again very soon, which Rachel states that she will. He also asks Rachel to call her if any other problems occur as he closes the door. With Koon gone from her room, Rachel takes her bed covers off, and stands up on her own two feet.

[[caption-width-right:300:Now that Koon's gone, Rachel stretches out her legs to keep them from getting stiff]]

Giving off a sigh of relief, Rachel admits to herself that she got scared due to Koon stopping by her room unannounced, and starts to stretch out her body so that her legs don't get stiff. She admits that it feels good being treated like a princess, but states that it's boring having to pretend to be a cripple. Rachel then begins to get happy knowing that it will finally be time for her to start climbing the Tower again, and states that she hopes to see the star soon enough.

Over to Koon's room, he takes off the clothes he wore for the day, and calls up Leesoo on his Pocket. Leesoo admits that it's been a long time since the last time he heard from Koon, which the latter answers that it's because his new team is finally ready to start climbing the Tower. Koon states that he will meet up with Leesoo's team again soon enough, which Leesoo admits that he misses seeing Koon. The latter then asks about Anak and Hatsu, which Leesoo answers that it's the same as usual.

Leesoo next asks about how Rachel is doing, which Koon answers that even though she's done fine as usual, it's still hard to believe that she lied to everyone. Koon then looks at his lighthouse, revealed to be spying on Rachel's room, and watches as she continues to stretch out her legs that are supposed to be crippled.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon reveals to Leesoo that Lero-Ro found out Rachel betrayed them]]

The story flashes back to six years ago returning to the Floor of Tests. Koon is seen sitting with Leesoo, who's surprised to hear the former telling him that Rachel lied to the group about the results of the Submerged Fish Hunt Test. He asks if Koon is crazy, which Koon admits that he is. The answer angers Leesoo, who then asks what Rachel would gain from this lying to them about what happened to Baam. Koon answers that it's because of something Lero-Ro told him.

Leesoo asks what Koon means, which the latter answers that Lero-Ro called him to inform Koon that the Ranker pulled a few strings to bring a powerful doctor to the Floor of Tests. The doctor was meant to fix Rachel's legs the moment she had passed out after the Net Dolphin Queen spit her out at the end of the test. However, the doctor ended up informing Lero-Ro that Rachel's legs were actually perfectly fine. The revelation confuses Leesoo, which Koon explains that the wound she received from Ho wasn't that deep, and she would be able to use her legs normally to the point of even begin able to run.

Finally accepting that Rachel has been pretending to be hurt, Leesoo questions why she's doing this, but Koon answers that even he doesn't know. He deduces that there's a possibility that she's being threatened by someone, but also comes to the conclusion that Supervisor Yu Han Sung was in on this since he's felt like there's some sort of connection between him and Rachel. Still confused over the situation, Leesoo questions what Koon plans to do since they've all promised to help Rachel climb the Tower.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon tells Leesoo that he will create a new team to keep an eye on Rachel]]

Thinking it over, Koon states that he will form a new team while Leesoo takes the rest of the group to continue climbing the Tower. The answer surprises Leesoo as Koon explains that they should just keep this between the two of them since Baam's death is what brought the team together, and that it would easily fall apart the moment they find out about Rachel's treachary. Koon also informs Leesoo that he doesn't want to ruin the team that Baam wanted to protect, and asks that Leesoo does this for him by leading the other Regulars up the Tower.

Koon then points out that it should only be him that countinues to suspect that Rachel killed Baam, and states that it's only right that the cruelest person of the group (himself) should take this role. Leesoo remains shocked by Koon's words as Koon explains that Rachel is the only clue they have at the moment that could lead them to Baam's true killers.

Koon states that this task isn't going to be easy, but tells Leesoo that when the time comes, he will split away with Rachel from Leesoo's group in order to create a new team. The purpose of this split is to create a boundary that will keep Leesoo's primary group safe while Koon keeps an eye on Rachel.

Back to the present, the six members of Koon's team, Dan, Novick, Apple, Michael, Gyetang, and Ran, are about to start their ranking match. Dan questions if what Novick mentioned earlier means they're going to fight here, which Novick answers to be the case, but informs Dan that the scout Regular can give up if he wants to. Believing that he's being underestimated, Dan proudly states that he will show off his powers to the group. However, he begins to sweat in confusion when he sees Apple, Michael, and Gyetang, all giving up right away. Dan thinks to himself that this suddenly doesn't feel right as Novick mentions how great it is that the new member is showing some guts. Dan tries to change his mind, and states that he wants to give up too, but ends up getting pounded into the ground by Novick. Michael heads over to Dan to heal his injures as Novick turns to the only person left in the group, Ran. The blue-haired boy has continued to sit silently on a nearby rock until this point as Novick announces that it's just the two of them left, and asks that they find out who's the strongest between the two of them.

The heavily beat up Dan joins Apple, Michael and Gyetang behind a rock to watch the fight about to unfold between Novick and Ran. Dan asks if there's perhaps something going on between the two of them, which Apple answers that the two have been at odds since they first met, and that Ran had actually defeated Novick in an earlier fight. The answer surprises Dan learning that there's someone that actually beat the guy that he was just destroyed by. Michael adds in that Novick is just using the arrival of new members as an excuse to get another chance to fight Ran. The black-skinned Regular also states that he believes that the only reason Novick is even on their team is to get a chance to fight Ran, which causes Dan to ask if the short blue-haired boy is truly that strong. Michael answers that that is indeed the case as Ran ranks among the top-5 of the current E-Rank Regulars. Though Novick isn't doing that bad either being ranked in the top-10.

Finally getting off his rock, Ran asks if Novick is tired at this point since the spear-bearer is never going to beat him. However, Novick answers that it won't be easy this time as he powers up his hand with shinsoo. Novick launches a shinsoo blast at Ran claiming that this will finally be the time that he beats him. However, Ran easily dodges it and prepares a shinsoo attack of his own against Novick; claiming that the top-10 spear-bearer Regular is being troublesome.

Some time passes as the six members of Koon's team return to his lodge. Looking at the six Regulars sitting in chairs before him, Koon tries not to laugh as he sees them all wearing black shirts each with a number on them ranked one through six: Ran ranked 1st, Novick ranked 2nd, Gyetang ranked 3rd, Apple ranked 4th, Michael ranked 5th, and Dan ranked 6th.

[[caption-width-right:300:Koon informing his team that his desire is to become the head of the Koon Family]]

Koon begins to break out in laughter as Michael tells their leader that they're uniforms that Novick ordered, but ended up getting two of the sizes wrong. Since Novick believed that he would get 1st, Novick is seen wearing what is supposed to be Ran's 2nd place small shirt while Ran is seen wearing Novick's 1st place giant shirt.

Admitting that this was a good laugh, Koon informs the group that they're ready to start climbing the Tower again. Koon states that he's signed the team up to take the test for the 25th Floor, and that the exam will begin a month from now. He also informs the new team that his goal is still the same as it's always been; to replace Koon Eduan as the new head of the Great Koon Family. Dan, due to being new to the group, is shown to be surprised by the statement while the rest remain silent listening to Koon continue his speech. Koon states that if the six of them help grant his wish to become the head of his Great Family, he will grant them anything they desire.

However, in return, he asks the group to do only one thing for him until he can accomplish this goal. Koon thinks back to the statement he told Leesoo about how it's too cruel to suspect that Rachel may have killed Baam. That it has to be a job done by him to be that cruel person.

[[caption-width-right:300:Believing that Rachel killed Baam, Koon orders the team to not grow attached to her]]

In his mind, Koon apologizes to Baam that going this path with Rachel needs to be done. Looking at the six Regulars, Koon asks the team to be the boundery that protects Rachel. He then asks that they help her climb the Tower, but only pretend to be friendly and nice.

Koon points out to not let their guard down thinking that they can befriend Rachel, and states that they should ignore her if she screams for help somewhere down the line. He finally asks for the team to only feel hate her, because she's the girl that killed his best friend.

!!Short Summary

At a cafe of the 25th Floor, Koon meets with a speedster scout known as Edin Dan in an attempt to recruit him for a new Tower team he's creating. However, Dan refuses since he's suffering from 20th Floor Disorder, which causes Koon to bait him with a piece of valuable float rock. In order to win the float rock, Dan needs to escape the cafe, but if he doesn't, he has to join Koon's team.

The game starts, and Dan escapes to the hallway, but Koon had already blocked off the path with a wall. Koon attempts to ask him to join his team once more, but Dan shows off his amazing speed to escape Koon, and returns to the cafe's main dining room. Figuring that he's won, Dan states to the cashier that Koon will be paying for his meal. However, Dan fails to realize that the cashier is working for Koon, and gets shot by a tranquilizer, which causes Dan to fall asleep.

With Dan kidnapped, Koon returns with the scout Regular at hand to his lodge somewhere on the 25th Floor. Here, Koon meets with Rachel, the person he's making a new team for to inform her how his last trip went.

Dan wakes up in Koon's lodge, and is greeted by Novick, a spear-bearer in Koon's team. He tells Dan of the current situation Koon is in with a girl that can't walk, and leads Dan to a location where he introduces the scout Regular to the rest of the team: Apple the light-bearer and scout, Michael the wave controller, Gyetang the spear-bearer, and Ran the fisherman. Now that the team has all gathered, Novick announces that it's time to have their ranking match to determine who's the strongest.

In Rachel's room, Koon comforts her after being told that she's been having bad dreams about Baam. He also asks for her to be sure to tell him any other problems she may come across, and leaves her alone again. However, Rachel uses this time alone to get up, and stretch out her legs since she's had to keep up her charade of being a cripple. Happy that a team is ready to help her climb the Tower again, Rachel states to herself that she hopes to see the star soon.

Meanwhile, after his meeting with Rachel, Koon contacts Leesoo to inform him that his new team is ready to climb the Tower. Leesoo asks how the situation is on his end, which Koon admits that, having already caught on to Rachel's betrayal, he still finds it unbelievable that Rachel's been lying to them.

Flashing back to six years ago on the Floor of Tests, Koon informs Leesoo that Lero-Ro had checked up on Rachel after the Submerged Fish Hunt test, and found out that her legs were perfectly fine. Realizing that they had been betrayed, Koon comes up with a plan for Leesoo to keep quiet about this between just the two of them and asks that he continues to climb the Tower with the rest of the team that Baam fought to protect. Koon states that when the time comes, he will break away from the group with Rachel in order to form a new team that will keep watch on her.

The ranking match amongst the six Regulars in Koon's team goes down as Dan stands ready to show off what he can do, but is easily beaten by Novick. Michael, Gyetang, and Apple, all give up right away as Dan watches the match of the strongest go down between Novick and Ran. It's at this point that Dan learns that Ran is one of the top-5 strongest E-rank Regulars that has defeated Novick many times before, and comes out the victor in the duel yet again as the strongest of Koon's team.

Koon's six teammates return to the lodge, and are informed by him that the team is now ready to take the 25th Floor test to start climbing the Tower again. Koon then reminds the team that his goal remains the same to take over for Koon Eduan as the head of the Great Koon Family, and will grant the team any wish once he accomplishes it. He also asks that they do one thing for him in return by helping Rachel climb the Tower. However, he states that they should only pretend to be her friend, and come hate her to the point of not rescuing her if she cries wolf, because she is the one who killed his best friend.

Meanwhile, Rachel is seen in her room breaking out in laughter.
