345 Entering The Tower of Trial Once More (1/2)

My strategy was pretty simple, since I knew myself and the fact that I would rationally not make any over defensive moves like making more essence swords since my opponent was doing the same as I would just wait till their lower level technique tired them out, I decided to use this to my advantage.

The clone didn't seem to be capable of complicated thinking anyway and 'Omni-viewing Eye' was also disabled so it couldn't sense me activating the technique sequence before it was too late, and it likewise couldn't evade five different sword, as a result my hit was bound to claim its life.

However, such an accomplishment was at the cost of me losing my life, well, my virtual life at least.

Just as I expected, as Ian.0022 found himself incapable of dodging the reckless assault, his only defensive move since he couldn't conjure swords fast enough to counter was trying to take my life first to save his or at least take me down with him and owing to his higher control, his sixth sword managed to take out my head before it disintegrated like he did…

[ You have successfully accomplished a draw! Half the full point reward will be handed out! ]

[ You have received 2499 Achievement Points! ]

[ You can no longer proceed to the next test as you haven't fulfilled the requirement… ]

[ You will be expelled from the 'Tower of Comprehension Testing' in 1 second! ]

”Meow…”

It took exactly one second for a scenery change to take place as I already found myself in front of the gate as it closed from the inside, forcing me to move in the opposite direction.

Naturally, as I expected, everything had returned into my possession as even Light was once again hanging on my shoulder as he let out another cute meow. The gathered members were also staring at me with weird expressions…

”Wha… His numbers are changing again!”

I was somewhat confused by the sudden call out as I got out, but as soon as my 'Omni-viewing Eye' has returned to function I realized that there was something new in my vicinity.

It was another ranking board!

Compared to the ranking board that I found in the dark room, this one only had the normal top 200 members ranking, and for some reason, it only appeared when I went in and out of the tower.

”His points increased by 2499… doesn't that mean that the points he got earlier were mostly from finishing the basic mastery test?!”

”He managed to finish the first test as well as obtain such a high result in merely 20 minutes…?”

”But…”

”What 'getting a head start using his wish token'? Rubbish!”

”He clearly broke all Blake's records by a huge margin. Comprehension time, test time and even amount of points obtained from one challenge!”

'It's starting to work.'
