Hi~ I'm so happy! Another person favorited this fanfic! Thank you Tsukiyomitakahiro! The test is finally starting. But wait! Bam is still unconscious... Or is he? Why did Bella leave the room of a sudden? Who knows. I wonder what test will they have to take this time. Now, let the test begin! Enjoy~
Bam's P.O.V
Flashback
She sometimes told me stories about the sky and stars.
"Bam, do you know what's at the top of the tower?" Rachel asked.
"I don't care."
Rachel turned to look at Bam. "You really don't have any hopes and dreams… On top of the tower, there is something called the sky."
"Sky? What's that?" Bam asked. Rachel walked over to Bam and motion him to lie down. Bam did what he was told.
"Close your eyes and imagine. Those heavy rocks are all gone. Nothing left to block us. Wide sky and stars come out at night. It's not the night that we're afraid of. It's the beautiful- The real night. I will go there for sure, one day," Rachel said in awe.
Bam opened his eyes and called out to Rachel. "Stop saying silly things and let's eat."
Rachel's stomach growled as she opened her eyes and nodded in agreement.
...Rachel, "Don't go."

Khun's P.O.V
"Rachel, don't go… Rachel…" Bam muttered as Khun stood up in alarmed.
"Are you awake? Bam?" Khun shouted as he hurried to Bam's bed.
Bam opened his eyes. "Mr. Khun? Where am I?"
"We're still on the test floor," Khun answered, relieved that Bam's awake.
Bam sat up. "Bam! Take it easy. You might not be fully healed," Khun said in a worried tone.
Bam rubbed his head, noticing that it was bandaged. "Don't worry. It doesn't hurt anymore. How long have I been like this?"
It doesn't hurt anymore?
"You have been unconscious for 4 days. Crocodile thought you were dead. He said he'll fry you yesterday," Khun answered.
"What? 4… 4 days? That long! Then Mr. Khun! What about the test?" Bam exclaimed.
(Felina: I change it to 4 days instead of 5- have my reasons. You'll find out why later).
Long? The doctor said it will take around 8 days to heal.
Khun looked down at the floor and answered, "The test started yesterday."
"Already! Then… Did I- Did I fail?" Bam hurriedly asked in a nervous voice.
Khun stayed silent and started, "Bam… To tell the truth… You're-"
"You didn't fail yet, turtle," Rak interrupted as he ate a banana. Bam let out a sound of surprise.
"Crocodile! I was about to tell him." Khun shouted at Rak.
"What happened? How come I haven't failed yet when the test had already started?"
Khun gave the male a bitter smile. "That's… How should I say this… You were lucky."
Flashback
"Hey, dark blue turtle. You look very pale. What were you doing yesterday. Leaving all of a sudden and then suddenly coming back and telling us to leave the black turtle's room," Rak asked the dark blue hair female who was sitting next to him and Khun.
Khun glanced suspiciously at Bella. Her facial expression doesn't look much different from usual but she looks paler than usual.
"No… Nothing much," Bella answered.
Is she not feeling well. Really? On the day of the test? Her voice is also higher than usual. Usually it's much lower. Wh-
Khun's thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice. "Did you have enough rest? I know it wasn't that long but I hope you spent it well." It was Mr. Lero-Ro.
The administrator looked around and nodded. "Seems like most of you all look very well. Thanks to break, I guess. Very well. I hope you guys all work hard on the test that begins today."
"Well- I will explain to you the test that will begin now. The test you're taking this time is- 'Positioning Test'!" Mr. Lero-Ro announced.
"I think a lot of you have noticed this already that fighting in the tower is usually done in a team. The position is the role that you'll play during these battles. There are a lot of different positions, but basically, there are- 'The fisherman'- Who disarms the enemies by using the reel inventory thus they are always at the heart of the battle. They can also carry out individual activities." Mr. Lero-Ro started to explain each position.
"'Spear-Bearer'- Who utilizes spears to target enemies from the back or finish off what the fisherman started. 'Light-Bearer'- Who lights up the dark tower, collects battle data and feed it to the scout. 'Scout'- Who scouts ahead at the very front lines using the observer and assists the fisherman when he charges."
"Of course, there are more positions beyond these five, such as a guide but it doesn't have much to do with you. From now on, you will be assigned to one of these five positions and you will be trained in that position for a month and the only regulars with high-results get the right to take the next test," Mr. Lero-Ro explained. Then five yellow boxes appeared.
"This table shows your positions according to the results of the previous tests," Mr Lero-Ro said as the words on the boxes were zoomed in.
Light-Bearer… Bam is a wave controller. That's unexpected. Rachel and Bella are also Light-Bearers.
"Sir? What's that 'best-seed' written beside the names?" A male with black hair asked.
"Best-seed? People with best-seed tag next to their name are the ones who did well in the previous tests. One person per test and they get a bonus point in the final positioning." Mr. Lero-Ro explained.
"What! You didn't tell us about that before?" The male with black hair exclaimed.
"I don't understand why he got that?" A female with black hair said pointing at Shibisu.
Shibisu nodded. "Yeah… Why me? Did I offer a bribe or something."
"You were chosen… Don't even ask!" Khun exclaimed at Shibisu.
God! Why would he even say such things, Being a best seed gives you more advantage at the end for passing this test. Me, Rachel and… Bella are all best seed as a Light-Bearer.
There's only one best seed as a fisherman and out. Spear-Bearers and Wave controller doesn't have one. Well, guess that's 5 best seeds in total. He did say that there is suppose to be one for each position or there will be just 5 in total.
Mr. Lero-Ro laughed as he explained, "The one with best seed is given after a fair and thorough evaluation. I've got a lot to do so stop asking petty questions, ok?"
The regulars stopped talking.
He threatened them. They persisted stubbornly so he threaten them...
Khun raises his hand. "Hey, Mr. Ro, There are many injured candidates here. How can they take the test?"
Mr. Lero-Ro looked into Khun's direction. "When they are more or less cured they may start attending class. But the positioning class keeps attendance scores so it is a disadvantage if you miss class.'
"I think it's unfair. The injured ones will obviously miss some class," Khun said.
Mr. Lero-Ro nodded and replied, "Of course. But it's their fault for getting injured."
Khun was about to replied back but was tapped by the shoulder. He looked to see who tapped him and saw it was Bella. The female shook her head, telling Khun not to argue any further.
"Bam will be alright."
Khun looked at her for a sec before bringing his attention back to Mr. Lero-Ro.
"Well, that's it for today. The position teachers will explain the detailed schedule for the test later. So please follow the guide and go to where your position teachers are. Oh, for the wave controllers class… The teacher has a problem so he will arrive a bit late. He says he'll start class three days later," Mr. Lero-Ro informed before leaving and added, "Now you all, move to your classes please,"
Wave controller? It's Bam position! If it starts three days he might just make it!
Khun glanced at Bella who already stood up, following the guide to her class.
Did she know that before hand? That's why she stopped me from arguing? Just who is she? Where did she go when she left Bam's room.
…! Now that I think back to it. When she came back to Bam's room after a few hours, she told that crocodile and I to leave Bam alone so he could get more rest. But… She herself didn't leave the room. And when I saw her again this morning she looked quite pale.
Khun stared suspiciously at Bella's back as he also stood up. That girl is hiding something.
Flashback Ends
"So that's what happened. You'll start the test three days later than other positions. The class of the wave controllers starts in two days," Khun said.
Bam let out a sigh of relief. "Ah, Mr. Khun. How's Rachel?"
Khun looked at Bam. "Rachel? Do you mean the girl you saved?" Bam nodded.
"She's- She's fine! The wound wasn't deep at all. Thank god! Rachel… Haha! But Bam, I don't think she's the one you're looking for. I asked her and she said she's never seen you before," Khun said as he let out an awkward laugh.
"It can't be," Bam muttered as he gripped onto his blanket tighter.
"I think you were confused, Bam. That happens a lot," Khun said as he scratched the back of his head
Bam looked down onto his blanket and then looked back up at Khun and asked, "Where's Ms. Bella?"
"Oh, she's in her room," Khun answered.
Rak stood up and threw away the banana peel in his hand and said, "She doesn't seem to be feeling well."
Bam looked surprised and a bit worry as he asked, "Did something happen?"
Khun shrugged. "No idea. When I saw her yesterday she wasn't looking so well. When I saw her in class today she looked the same as yesterday."
Rak sat back down on the chair and said, "She looked a bit pale."
Bam looked down at his blanket again and muttered. "I hope she's ok."
Lero-Ro's Office Room
Lero-Ro's P.O.V
Lero-Ro glanced at the female with light brown hair that slightly passed her lower back and asked, "How do you feel?"
"My head hurt. It aches." The female replied. Lero-Ro gave the female a bitter smile and offered her a seat. The female gladly accepted the seat.
"I heard the other regulars saying that Mr. Bam is awake," Lero-Ro said. The female nodded in response.
"Did you go visit him yet," Lero-Ro asked. The female faced the administrator and gave him a 'what do you think' look.
Lero-Ro laughed. "Of course, you didn't. There is no way you'll go see him in that appearance right, Elina?"
The female with light brown hair pouted. "I don't need to see him. I know he'd be alright because I made sure he will be."
Lero-Ro nodded. "The doctor was surprised at how fast Mr. Bam healed. He said it will take about 9 days, yet Mr. Bam healed so much in just one night." He then turned to Elina. "Guess his injury was quite bad since you look a bit pale."
"Of course. An injury that will take 9 days to heal will definitely hurt," Elina replied.
"That power of yours. I don't think you should use it too often. The power that lets you heal another but the user will have to take in all the pain. That power can be very dangerous if your body can't handle the pain. You can die, you know," Lero-Ro warned in a serious tone.
"Mr. Lero-Ro, I think I know my power better than anybody else. Yes, I'm fully aware that I can die by using this power but this amount of pain won't kill me," Elina said.
Lero-Ro raised an eyebrow at the female. "I have healed injuries worse than Bam's. It's just that I haven't been using this power for some time so my body isn't use to the pain like it was back then when I was younger."
Lero-Ro sweatdropped. "By younger, you don't mean you used that power quite often when you were little?"
Elina let out a awkward laugh as she nodded. Lero-Ro gave her a look saying 'you can't be serious'. Elina shrugged in response.
"Was there a reason why you stopped using that power?" Lero-Ro asked slightly interested. The female went quiet but a faint smile crept onto her face.
She seems happy. I wonder what the reason is.
"Mind me asking?" Lero-Ro asked.
"I have no reason to tell you."
"Anyway, please don't use that power anymore. If Yuri finds out that you got hurt while I'm here. I might have to prepare to feel her wrath," Lero-Ro said jokingly.
Elina laughed and asked. "Do you actually believe what I told you?"
Lero-Ro nodded and smiled. "There was no reason for you to lie."
Flashback
"Mr. Lero-Ro may I come in?" A female voice asked from beyond the door.
Lero-Ro looked up from his work and answered, "Come in."
The door opened and a female with middle length, light brown hair came in and closed the door behind her.
… I don't remember that there was a regular who looked like that and that voice...
"It's me, Bella," The female said with a smile. Lero-Ro eyes widen slightly, barely noticeable.
"You do look different. Especially the hair color and how your hair is not tied up," Lero-Ro said as Bella walked up to his desk. Lero-Ro noticed that the female's hair was slightly wet.
Did she take a shower? Her hair color from before… I see, she dyed her light brown hair to dark blue. She must had suppressed her voice to make it sound lower than her regular voice. Impressive.
"Do you need something?" Lero-Ro asked as he motioned the female to sit down on the chair in front of his desk.
Bella sat down onto the chair and asked "What kind, no, what is the test that we'll be taking tomorrow?"
Lero-Ro raised an eyebrow. "I don't think I can tell you. You'll know tomorrow."
The female looked trouble. "Why do you want to know?" Lero-Ro asked.
"I want to know because that way I can decide whether or not to heal Bam," Bella answered. Her answered caught Lero-Ro off guard. He raised an eyebrow at the female.
"I'm a friend of Yuri's. My name is Elina. I'm sure you have heard that name before, have you not?" Bella, no Elina asked.
Lero-Ro eyes widen. Elina? Don't tell me… She's that Elina?
Lero-Ro was left speechless for a while before he came back to his senses. "...Why would you tell me that? Your identity can put you in danger if the wrong people find out. Furthermore… You're with Yuri!? Shouldn't Yuri be trying to kill you?"
Elina laughed. "I'm good friend with Yuri and some other Jahad princesses that has the 13 month series weapons made by Master Ashul Edwaru. So they probably won't kill me. Unless they are told or have no choice. But I won't die so easily. Also, whether I get targeted by them depends on my actions."
Mr. Lero-Ro nodded. "I'm surprise. Not even the king of Jahad have seen how you look like, but I, merely a ranker can. Why are you telling me your identity Are you sure you can trust me? That I won't sell you out in the future?"
Elina smiled. "After observing you, I decided to place my trust in you. Yuri also mentioned you before, saying you're not a bad person. You're not the type of person who would tell other about my identity," Elina stated with confidence.
After observing me? ...Since when?
Lero-Ro thought for a moment and glanced at Elina and nodded. "So… What do you mean by heal?"
Elina smiled and started to explain. "As you might already know since you know my identity, I'm from that bloodline, I'm an irregular. Irregulars are feared by others because of their strength and powers. I have this power that allows me to heal another, but the user will have to take in all the pain."
Doesn't sound like a good power.
Lero-Ro motion Elina to continue. "I want Bam to pass the next test, but I don't think he will gain conscious tomorrow. If he doesn't take the test tomorrow, he'll fail. So I decided to heal his injury so he can take the test tomorrow but I prefer not to use this power. I want to know what test are we gonna have tomorrow and is there anyway way to push the date later so he doesn't fail."
Lero-Ro thought for a bit and answered. "The test tomorrow is positioning test. Each regular will be assigned a position and take lessons for it. But attendance scores will be taken so it's a disadvantage if anyone miss class."
Elina seems to be lost in thoughts. Then the female stood up and thanked Lero-Ro before she headed for the door.
"Are you gonna go heal Mr. Bam?" Lero-Ro asked before the female open the door and leave.
"I have no choice but to do that," Elina answered as she left his office.
Flashback Ends
"You just had to inform me that the class Bam's taking will start three days later, after I had already started healing him," Bella said in slight annoyance.
Lero-Ro let out a laugh. "Yes, but at least I informed you about it before Bam was completely healed or else you would suffer more pain than you have to right now."
Bella sighed as she stood up. "I better go back to my room and dye my hair again. After that, I'll rest for the rest of the day and take your stupid lessons tomorrow."
Lero-Ro laughed. "I'm surprise that you can actually hide your abilities. Even though you're clearly experience in being a Light-Bearer, yet you manage to act like you don't anything I'm teaching. But really, I didn't think you would be a Light-Bearer. I'm sure you're also capable of other positions right?"
"Well, when I'm with Yuri, she doesn't have anyone as a Light-Bearer so I decided to fulfill that position. Of course it's not the best position for me to be in but it's a safe position for me to be in. Yes, I'm capable of other positions, now goodbye," Bella said leaving the office.
True. You're more suit to be a Wave Controller, but if someone finds out that your name is Elina and is a wave controller they will start suspecting if you are that Elina. After all, people from that bloodline are mainly Wave Controllers. Truly, this year's 'regulars' are full of monsters.

Another chapter was done. This took a while because it involved my OC a bit. I had to think and put a lot of stuff together, but I promise that one day it will all be explain. Things like her power, bloodline, past, powers and why/how she might be in danger and etc. Anyway, this chapter is base off on the 28th chapter of the webtoon. I didn't write the last part of the chapter from the webtoon because I thought it would be more suited to be written in the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and learned a bit more about my OC. Thanks for reading ;)
