340 Entering The Tower (2/2)

\”I…\”

\”Hand me your sect tag please.\”

Before I even managed to say a word, the Overseer who didn't seem to be much of a talker demanded the tag, which I immediately handed to him, it was actually this kind of 'more work less talk people' that I prefered to deal with!

\”Lan Storm, 4 stars member, 2 empty entry slots for the month. Would you like to use one of them now?\”

\”These entries are limited to the same tome, right? I could enter more than twice if I'm using a different tome, am I correct?\”

\”Yes, as a 4 star member you can have another double try using another tome… but it's not advised to distract your focus like that.\”

'Hopefully using three tomes for one try each wouldn't be a problem… let's just cross the bridge when it comes to it.'

\”I understand. Yes, I would like to use one of my entry slots now.\”

\”Alright, may I see the tome?\”

Taking out the 'Aerial Sword' tome from my bag, I placed it on the desk, since it was the only technique that I have yet the incorporate to the other weapons to save time, I decided to start the test with it. Since I naturally had a somewhat better mastery with the other techniques due to the repeated training using other weapons, it was better to leave them to when I understood the mechanism of the tower better to maximize my later performance.

\”Aerial Sword, not a bad choice, since you already have the cover needed for when you go inside, you can go ahead into the tower, the instructions of how the challenge works should be inside. Good luck with your challenge.\”

Pushing the gate, I didn't understand what just happened as I immediately found myself inside to have passed and entered some sort of the room as the gate that I just entered was closed behind me.

'This is somewhat similar to how the Trial Tower seemed to behave…'

As just going through the door has been this mysterious, just like how the Trial Tower had acted, there was probably some sort of a link between the two, but I couldn't tell much just from that, so I just let it be for now as I started searching for the instructions that the Tower Overseer mentioned.

'Is this supposed to be some sort of a ranking…?'

The first attention catching part that I noticed in the room was a hanged sign that had a multitude of names that shone on it, they didn't seem to be written or even inscribed, they were just projected with… light?

It didn't take me a lot of time before I found my name somewhere with a number by its side...
