Hello everyone~ Thank you Nuvola De Demone for following and favoriting! Here's today's chapter!
Wangnan's P.O.V
Wangnan desperately tried to think of an excuse. "Um… This is… You know… Fashion… It's… The trend here! Ja-Jahad Fashion, didn't you know?"
Viole continued to stare at Wangnan making the male even more nervous. Then a sudden shout was heard. "Hey! FUG!"
"The great Prince is talking to you and you ignore him? Wanna die? Wanna fight and seem you win?!" Prince exclaimed angrily as he walked up to Viole.
Viole threw the ring back at Wangnan. "Be careful not to lose it. It looks 'precious'." Viole then quickly changed and ignored Prince once again by walking out of the bathing room.

"He scared me!" Wangnan exclaimed as he flopped onto his bed.
"Did something happen?" Nia asked from his own bed.
Wangnan shook his head. "No, nothing. Ah~ I wish there was a TV."
Nia nodded in agreement, "There's no TV, but a remote." Nia picked up the remote beside him. "It was in the drawer."
Wangnan nodded in understanding before noticing something else was in Nia's hand. "That's!" He called out. Nia nodded, in his hand was a deck of card. The box was labeled, "Game Long Life Game"
"Let's go play with the others!" Wangnan suggested immediately and the two instantly left their room.
Arkraptor and Horyang walked down the hallway to reach their room but stopped when they noticed Miseng was being patted by a somewhat chubby woman.
"Hey! Where's that glasses girl and what are you doing with her?" Arkraptor asked as he walked up to Miseng and the woman.
"Goseng went to the bathroom and this woman brought me yogurt…" Miseng replied quietly.
"Hoho, she reminds of my daughter. I couldn't just leave her." The woman said with a smile as she put her arms over Miseng's shoulder. "My daughter is her age. She reminds me of her…"
Arkraptor noticed the fine jewelries on the woman, especially the rings on her hands. "She's not you daughter so hands off and step back. She's not yours so leave her alone."
Arkraptor's words left the woman unable to say anything else, therefore, she bid Miseng farewell and returned to her own room.
Miseng looked down at the floor sadly before she heard a familiar voice, it was Goseng's, "Miseng, what happened? Did he scare you again? Are you crying?"
Miseng turned to face Goseng and shook her head. "Don't cry…" Horyang said, trying to comfort Miseng.
"Hey, guys!" A voice called. Miseng looked up. It was Wangnan and Nia. "Why don't we play a game?" Wangnan suggested as waved the deck of card in his hand. Everyone thought for a while before they all entered Goseng's and Miseng's room to play.
Meanwhile. Viole returned to his room with Prince following behind him spouting insults. Once Viole reached his room with no delay he shut the door on Prince.
"*sshole!" Prince shouted.
"Hey, what are you doing in front of my room?" A voice asked.
Prince turned to the direction of the voice annoyed before calming down at the sight of a familiar female. "Yeo- Yeon? What are you doing here?" Prince asked. Seconds later his eyes flared up. "You're sharing a room with him!?" He exclaimed angrily.
Yeon nodded and flipped her hair, "Why would you care who I share a room with? There's nothing between us now, right? You're nasty and I don't want to be associated with you at all. So please don't act like we know each other. I beg you." Her voice was full of disgust. Yeon walked pass Prince to enter her room and slammed the door.
Yeon took a deep breath after slamming the door. She looked at Viole who has just finished tying up his long black hair in a ponytail. Viole has taken off his long black robe and wore a pinstripe suit that was purple and black with black trousers.
(Felina: I realize that I said that Bam had black hair from the beginning and suddenly I wrote brunette since it looks brown. After thinking for a while, I decide to turn it back to black because Rak calls Bam, Black Turtle so black it is. Sorry for the changes.)
"Are you planning to stay in this room? You're not going to move?" Yeon asked.
"I'm assigned to this room," Viole replied.
"That's true… But you should move since you're a boy! Also, if you're planning to ask for something just because you helped me, don't even think about it. "
"... What do you think I'll ask for?"
Yeon's voice became quiet, "My… Body…?" She mumbled.
"I'm not interested in your body," Viole replied bluntly. His voice clearly states that he really isn't making Yeon feel embarrassed over what she said.
Wangnan and his crew were playing the card game happily. Goseng, Horyang, Arkraptor and he stepped out of the room to the balcony leaving Miseng and Nia inside the room.
"She got me… She took all the money I had" Wangnan said with a sigh.
Goseng smiled, "Think about it this way: you brought her snacks." Wangnan returned a bitter smile.
"It's fun to hang out like this…" Goseng said. The 3 males nodded. "Wouldn't it be good to get out of the Tower and live like this all together? We can… Completely forget about the Tower" Goseng stated.
The atmosphere suddenly turned really quite. "Haha… I've come all this way… What am I saying. Sorry for ruining the mood. Let's go back to our room. It's almost time to turn off the lights."
The 4 Regulars returned back into the room and all respectively returned to their own room. That night, Wangnan stared at the ceiling for a long time. "Nia, let's pass the test and eat sweet and sour pork together. This time, you order," Wangnan said all of a sudden.
"Sounds good~" Nia replied with a smile. The two soon fell asleep. As the night continued a beeping sound filled the room. Wangnan lazily sat up and rubbed his eyes. He noticed the remote on the drawer was beeping and flashing. Nia soon woke up due to the sound.
Wangnan picked up the remote and randomly clicked a button. There was two button. One was blue and the other was red. Suddenly a loud announcement was heard, "The exam will begin. The name of the exam is 'The Room That Can Be Trusted'."
The sudden announcement ha everyone alarmed. The announcement continued, "From now on don't trust anyone. You're all teammates of each other and enemies at the same time. All you can trust is your own room."
"From now on let me briefly explain the rules of the exam. Your challenge is to secure 7 teammates and 6 rooms before Mr. Viole takes over Ms. Yeon's room. Starting now you may begin making teams and you may either protect or steal rooms."
"With the remote given, you can open and close the door of your room and with your personal connector at the bottom, you can make teammates or steal rooms. It's simple to make teammates. Connect your USB to another regular's remote and press the blue button to be teammates. If you press the red you will steal the other regular's room."
"Therefore, if you don't trust someone, you shouldn't open your door or give them your remote. The first team to gather 7 teammates and 6 rooms using their remote passes. You can only use your own remote and there must be at least one connector in the remote at all times. You can't remove the remote from your room."
"There must be at least one regular in each room and one of the 6 rooms must be on the same floor as Ms. Yeon's room. If the number of regulars falls below 7, Mr. Viole wins. Also, if Mr. Viole comes here to the bathing room and steal the connector from me and gets to Ms. Yeon's room, Mr. Viole wins."
A long pause of silence was provided to allow the regulars to process the rules before Love, the announcer continued. "Ms. Violet, you're considered as being part of Mr. Viole and Ms. Yeon's room in the connector I have and also in their remote. Therefore, if Mr. Viole passes you'll also pass the test. A condition to this test is that you must not intervene. If you do, Viole and you will automatically lose. Understand? Now let the test begin."
"This is complicated…" Wangnan muttered as he looked at the remote in his hand. "So in short, before Viole takes over the Flame Thrower's room, we need to secure 5 more rooms and 5 more teammates."
Nia nodded and started, "True… But to protect or steal other rooms…"
"One of us has to stay here and the other one has to go out to the hall…" Wangnan continued.
"But if Viole's out there..."
"We'll have to fight. It's the same with everyone else. We're either teammates or enemies." Wangnan thought for a moment before stating in a determined tone, "Our plan is hide in our room!"
"What?" Nia said dumbfounded.
"Let's not rush. Like the tiger waiting for his prey. We'll wait here and strike when the time comes," Wangnan explained.
"But what if Ms. Viole steals his room…?" Nia asked with concern.
"Do you think he can beat the Ranker? He'll eventually eliminate all the Regulars that are coming out of their room and narrow down the number of us to less than 7. If we go out it's only good for him."
"I see…"
An awkward silence filled the room. "Darn. Frankly, I'm afraid of him," Wangnan admitted and Nia nodded in understanding.

"I'm going to talk to Wangnan. Don't cry and don't open the door for anyone, Miseng," Goseng instructed. Miseng nodded her head in understanding.
"I'll be back soon," Goseng reassured as she patted Miseng's head before walking out.
"Be careful!" Miseng shouted as she watched Goseng leave the room. After the door was shut Goseng hurriedly thought logically about the situation. It's best to act quicker and trust others to get teammates and work together to steal rooms. Goseng hurriedly down the hall with her pink lighthouse floating behind her.

"This isn't complicated at all~ Isn't the point to just beat that FUG guy? Ok, no need to wait around. I'll go beat his *ss!" Prince stated cockily as he stood up.
"Oh, before that. I should hide the remote just in case," Prince said as he opened the door of his room with the remote. He turned to Rob Devil and ordered, "Close your eyes."
"You're going to leave the door open?" Rob Devil asked.
"I can't close it!"
"What if someone breaks in?"
Prince smirked, "Isn't that your job? And if you lose, I'll hide the remote so I won't lose the room. No, close your eyes, Rob Devil."
Rob Deviled obeyed and closed his eyes. Sounds of shuffling can be heard before Prince ordered Rob Devil to open his eyes. "Keep the room safe. I'll go beat that FUG jerk," With that said, Prince ran out the room to find Viole.

Yeon stood in front of the door and glared at Viole as she stated in a determined voice, "I can't let you go, Mr. Grace. You're planning to kill the other regulars, right? I can't let you do that?"
Yeon's voice grew louder with each word. "Everything would have been fine if only you accepted teammates! Everyone would have ended up happy!"
"'Everybody' ends up happy you said?" Viole's voice was icy cold.
"Of course! If you just choose 7 teammates-"
"There's no way to make everybody happy. There's a way to make one person happy," Viole interrupted calmly. He reached out his hand, "Give me the remote."
"Are you seriously going to make the rest of us fail?! You're such a bad guy!" the flame started to surround Yeon. "I'll stop you- With my powers. I'll give you a warning. Give up now! My flame can't be controlled. Even my family's rankers had a hard time stopping it!"
With that said the flame started to spread, growing larger and larger. Viole simply stood there in the midst of the flame. "Stop."
That one simple word that came out of Viole's mouth was quiet yet commanding at the same time. Yeon was frozen and so were the flames. Taking this chance, Viole casually walked passed Yeon and took the remote from her hand as he said, "Sorry, but you must all fail here."
He opened the door with the remote and then let it drop onto the floor. "Where are you going!? F.U.G!" A loud voice exclaimed.
Prince burst into the room and snatched the remote from the floor and closed the door. "Now you can't escape, F.U.G"
Viole slightly sighed and before Prince and Yeon could even blink the door of the room opened once again. Viole has frozen Prince and this time, with no trouble he exited the room. Viole walked down the hall but soon stopped upon the sight of a familiar female, Violet.
Violet, like Viole, was no longer in a long black robe. She wore a navy blue off shoulder top and a long black skirt that reached up to her mid calf and black flats. Her veil like black cloth still covered her face beside her eyes. Through her eyes, Viole can tell she wasn't too happy.
Not giving Violet a chance to speak, Viole walked passed her and said, "I'll be back. Wait for me."
Viole continued to walk down the hall leaving Violet behind. "Try not to get hurt," Violet said quietly from a distance. Viole hummed in response and went to find the Ranker.
