20F - The Strongest Regular

    Season 2: Ch. 6 (Chapter 85) 

Waiting for the 2nd Round of the 20th Floor test to start, Wangnan's left in a bad mood due to the flame-girl who knocked him out in the previous test being back. He takes a closer look at her, and notices that the flame-girl that burned him is actually a member of Jahad's Great Yeon Family, much to his confusion as to why such a person is here. He's also shocked to see his debt collector, Kim Lurker, in the group, who greets Wangnan in return.

Wangnan asks if Kim deciding to climb the Tower again means that he's dropped his days of being a loan scammer for Lurker Cash. In return, Kim points him in the direction of the purple-haired boy in his team; informing Wangnan that the boy is actually the son of his Lurker Cash boss. Kim states that he's been tasked to help his boss's son climb the Tower, and has been given bodyguards to help him, such as the famous Devil of the Right Arm, who's known to have defeated Hatz at some point in the past. Kim also reveals that the Yeon girl is with their group because she was put in debt due to her failure in the last test attempt. He threatens for Wangnan's group to drop out as the 2nd Round test finally begins.

On the stage before the Regulars, the Ranker Test Admin for the 20th Floor, Mule Love, introduces himself. He explains how the 20th Floor is broken up into 3 parts, and that since they've passed the 1st one, they will now be moving on to the 2nd. For the 2nd Round, Love states that it will be a shinsu power-level test to see who has the strongest punch after they've reinforced their attack with shinsu. He shows off a shinsu measuring instrument next to him, which is basically an arcade punching machine. Mule Love also informs the Regulars that only eight of them will be moving on to the final 3rd part of the 20th Floor test.

Regulars begin taking the test as Hon Akraptor, the gray-haired Regular from Wangnan's group, scores the current strongest punch with a 3,250 score. Wangnan, Nia, Miseng and Goseng are all shown having attempted their punch as well, but are left in depression that their journey is probably over due to their final scores being out of the top-8. Not taking this seriously, the purple-haired son finds the test boring, and makes an offer to hand the Yeon girl over to whoever gets first place; even offering the Yeon girl freedom from her debt if she gets the best score. The giant from Wangnan's group steps forward to call out the Lurker Cash son for not being mindful of the people around him as he steps forward for his turn to punch. The giant, revealed to be named Kang Horyang, gets the new top score at 6,350 as the son of Lurker Cash, finally showing interest in the test, motions his Devil of the Right Arm body guard to hit next.

    Season 2: Ch. 7 (Chapter 86) 

The Devil of the Right Arm, revealed to be named Rapdevil, shows off his powers as a devil to Horyang by punching the machine with his transformed right arm; getting a score of 11,988. Prince congratulates Rapdevil for his efforts, and orders for Horyang to leave since the giant's score has already been beaten. The Yeon girl, named Yeon Ehwa, is the next up, and admits to the Lurker Cash son that she's surprised how weak his Devil of the Right Arm bodyguard turned out to be. She takes her turn punching the machine, and ends up with a score of 22,384. Ehwa feels relaxed having her freedom now as the new top-score, and taunts the purple-haired boy that he's weak due to having to be carried up the Tower by his bodyguards. To her surprise however, the purple-haired boy, revealed to be named Prince, manages to get a score of 25,521 punching the machine.

Prince reveals to her that he's the one carrying his bodyguards up rather than being the one actually being carried, and orders for Ehwa to continue being with him. However, Akraptor laughs at how stupid everyone is being, and points out that the long-haired boy that's about to take the test is the true strongest one amongst them all. They all stand by to watch Bam punch the machine as a giant wave of shinsu called the Floral Butterfly Piercing Technique blasts it to achieve a 134,769 top-score. It also shows here that Bam is no longer going by the name given to him by Rachel, but is now going by a new name, Viole. The Regulars all look at him in confusion as Ehwa and Mule Love spot the red symbol on his cloak telling them that Viole is a part of FUG.

    Season 2: Ch. 8 (Chapter 87) 

With the 2nd Round complete, Mule Love orders Viole to stand with him on the stage due to being the overall winner of the strength test. Wangnan remains depressed due to only placing 15th on the punching game, but becomes hopeful again when Mule Love announces that Viole will be choosing seven others to take the test's final 3rd Round with him. Despite complaints from Prince, Mule Love makes it clear that he's the Test Admin, so it's his rules. Realizing that the test was never about being a part of the top-8, Wangnan stands up to introduce himself to Viole, and even stoops so far as to beg him to be one of the chosen Regulars.

Following Wangnan is Akraptor begging Viole to choose him as he claims to be climbing the Tower to be with his daughter again, which Wangnan finds to be a complete lie. However, much to Wangnan's surprise, Horyang is the next to beg; stating that there's someone higher up in the Tower he needs to meet. After that, Miseng goes to hug Viole, and begs to be chosen in order to be with her mom and dad again. Seeing four of her fellow Regulars begging, Ehwa calls them out on it, and tells Viole to take her since he will need powerful teammates, such as her being a member of a Great Family, to help him pass the test. Wangnan points out that she brings nothing to help Viole other than getting her teammates fried, such as what happened to him in the previous test attempt, but Ehwa claims that she still has her big breasts to offer.

Having heard their wishes, Viole remains disinterested, and announces for everyone to go home as he won't be taking anyone with him to the 20th Floor test's 3rd Round. That he alone is enough, much to everyone's shock. Mule Love reminds Viole that the rule is to pick seven others, but Viole counters that no one amongst them is qualified to team up with him. Ehwa calls him out for pretending to act tough with a fake symbol of FUG on his cloak, but Viole reveals that he is indeed a member of FUG by the name of Jue Viole Grace: FUG's Slayer Candidate, who's been tasked to kill Jahad and his Great families. Thus, he can't have any teammates because he's actually their enemy.

Having heard Viole's introduction, Mule Love admits that he understands the situation, but reminds Viole that the rules of the Tower tests are absolute. The Ranker also points out that it would be unfair to send the Regulars off like this, especially a group that appears to be willing to do anything to climb the Tower. As a result, Mule Love offers an alternative test for the 3rd Round where the Regulars take part in the test while Viole faces off against Mule Love one-on-one.

Long Summary

    1st Round Winners 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_01.jpg
Wangnan realizes that the team killing Yeon girl from his last test attempt is here

The Regulars that have all passed the 1st Round gather at the test area for the 2nd Round of the 20th Floor test. Wangnan looks over at the newest group of Regulars that have arrived off the elevator, and finds it annoying that the flame-girl who knocked him out of the previous test attempt is in the same group as him again. However, he doesn't recognize the purple-haired boy that keeps trying to hit on her. Goseng notices Wangnan looking in their direction, and questions if he's jealous that the purple-haired boy is with such a pretty girl, which Wangnan asks in return what she's talking about.

Goseng explains that it's in a man's natural instinct to help out a girl as beautiful as her, which Wangnan tries to answer that it's nothing like that. She instead asks why he keeps looking in the beautiful girl's direction, which Wangnan answers that it's because he noticed that the girl's pink headband has a symbol of Jahad's Great Yeon Family on it. Shocked by the revelation, Goseng then asks why a member of a Great Family is here, but Wangnan answers that he's not sure of the reason either. Continuing to look over at the Yeon girl's group, Wangnan notices that there's someone else he recognizes among the group.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_02.jpg
Kim reveals that he's helping his Lurker Cash boss's son climb the Tower

The man gets up to greet Wangnan, who quickly realizes that it's the debt collector from before, Kim Lurker. Wangnan questions why Kim is here, which the debt collector answers that he's here to take the test, and he has the right to since he's also a Regular. Wangnan then questions if Kim has given up his loan company scam, which Kim admits to possibly be the case, but defends that Lurker Cash was a good business. Wangnan calls him out questioning how he could defend a business that scammed people out of their lives. However, Kim points Wangnan in the direction of the purple-haired Regular next to the Yeon girl.

Kim explains to Wangnan that the purple-haired kid happens to be the son of Lucker Cash's boss, and that he's already made it up to the 20th Floor despite becoming a Regular just a few years ago. Wangnan questions how that's possible, which Kim answers that the boss invested huge amounts of money to not only bribe the Test Floor Supervisors, but hired a group of Regulars to act as the boy's bodyguards. Kim points him in the direction of their biggest investment, a giant man with an odd yellow hair-style that he claims to have even beaten the powerful Hatz in a fight.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_03.jpg
Kim reveals that the Yeon flame-girl is in debt to Lurker Cash due to her last failure

Kim explains that he was expensive because he's known as the famous Devil of the Right Arm, which Kim even admits that he doesn't understand why someone as famous as him is still on the lower levels. Switching over to the Yeon girl, Kim points out to Wangnan how the Devil of the Right Arm isn't their only valuable asset. Wangnan asks why they have a member of the Yeon Family in their group, which Kim answers that due to her flame-ability causing her to barbecue many of the Regulars, including her teammates, in the last test attempt, she ended up failing, and had to receive a loan from Lurker Cash to take the 20th Floor test again. The statement annoys Wagnan now that he knows why the Yeon flame-girl is taking the test again.

With his explanation done, Kim informs Wangnan that he plans to go up the Tower with the boss's son, and asks for everyone from Wangnan's group to go away to make it easier for his team. Gray-hair and the giant are shown being irritated by the comment as Kim waves goodbye, and wishes Wangnan's group luck. Wangnan is left stunned in fear believing that there's no chance of him passing the test knowing that he has to go up against the team that's been established for the boss's son of Lurker Cash. He looks to the giant stang in the room set up for the 2nd Round of the test, and deduces that the type of the next test is even more important than before.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_04.jpg
Test Administrator, Mule Love, explains the 2nd Round of the 20th Floor test

Some time later, a monitor appears above the stage with the title of the 2nd Round test, Finding The Best Shinsu User. A Ranker appears on the stage with an odd contraption next to him, and introduces himself to the Regulars as Mule Love. The Regular point out how cute the Ranker looks, who congratulates the group for passing the 1st Round, and states that he's in charge of the following 20th Floor tests. He explains to the Regulars that the 20th Floor is comprised of three tests, one of which they had already completed. Motioning to the contraption next to him, Mule Love explains that this shinsu measuring instrument is the test of the 2nd Round, and will be used to test how well a Regular can reinforce their body using shinsu.

Looking at the contraption, Wangnan notes how it looks like an arcade punching machine. Mule Love answers that it is indeed similar as he moves to the machine to show the Regulars how it works. Punching the instrument, Mule Love explains that once a Regular reinforces their body with shinsu, and punches the machine, their strength will show up on a scoreboard above them, as well as their rank. As Mule Love demonstrates, his 13200000 score appears on the right of the board while his name appears in the number 1 rank on the left. Wangnan is irritated to find out that the test is just a power-level check as Mule Love informs the Regulars that eight Regulars will be selected to move on to the 3rd Round for their final 20th Floor exam.

    20th Floor Test's 2st Round - Strength Test 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_05.jpg
Wangnan and company depressed over the results of their weak punch score

The Ranker then states that the test will now begin, and asks for the Regulars to come up to the punching instrument in the order they've been provided. Knowing that he doesn't have the strength, Wangnan begins to fear for his life believing that everything at this point is over for him.

Some time passes, and the test has already gone through the first 18 Regulars with Hon Akraptor (the gray-haired Regular from Wangnan's group) sitting at the top with a 3,250 high-score. The Regulars who ended up outside the top-8, such as Wangnan, Nia, Miseng and Goseng, sit against a wall depressed by their results. Wangnan remembers back to the rule that only eight Regulars are coming out of this, and that he's now sitting at the 10th spot outside the top-8. He begins to sweat in fear figuring once more that everything is over for him. He questions why they would give out a power-level test, and wonders if the purpose is to kick out those that aren't born with any talent. He hides his face in his arms, and complains that it's not his fault that he wasn't born with any talent. The purple-haired Lurker Cash son is seen claiming that this test is boring, and thought that there would be something special about the 20th Floor test. He asks his group if there's only losers here, which annoys Wangnan having overheard him.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_06.jpg
The giant, Kang Horyang, sets the new high-score

In order to make things interesting, the purple-haired son suggests that they play a game. Whoever comes in 1st place will get to have the beautiful Yeon girl. The game suggestion shocks her, who states that he's going too far just because she owes Lurker Cash a bit of money. However, the purple-haired son points out that this is her chance to free herself if she gets first, and taunts her that she's probably not confident enough to do it, which annoys her. The Yeon girl finally agrees to do it, which the Lurker Cash son points out how easy it is that even someone from a Great Family can be swayed by money. Wangnan, who had been watching them fool around, is left depressed that he's not in the same position as them.

The giant with the blue wing gets up, and walks over to the boy with purple-hair. He asks for the boy to be quiet as the words that have been coming out of his mouth just now have been making others feel uncomfortable. In return, the purple-haired boy asks why he should care about Regulars that are about to fail, and orders for the giant to leave before he decides to beat him up. Unable to say anything back, the giant calls the purple-haired son of Lurker cash a brat, and walks over to the punching instrument. Turning his wing into a fist, the giant points out that eventually, the purple-haired boy is going to reach a point where he's going to fail as well. He then punches the instrument as the giant (revealed to be named Kang Horyang) gets the new top score at 6,350.

The Regulars all around are shocked by the result as Horyang returns over to the purple-haired Regular. He calls the boy a brat once more, and points out that his mom must have never taught him manners. In return, the purple-haired boy gives off a laugh, and admits that the giant did better than he expected.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_07.jpg
The Devil of the Right Arm, Rapdevil, beats the record set by Horyang

Flicking his hand to motion the Devil of the Right Arm forward, the Lurker Cash son admits that this test may not be that boring, as the Devil of the Right Arm cracks his knuckles to be the next to punch the instrument. The man known as the Devil of the Right Arm stands opposite Horyang, and asks if the giant has ever seen an actual devil. Horyang remains silent as the Devil of the Right Arm walks by, and claims that he will show the giant what one is.

Arriving at the punching machine, the Devil of the Right Arm begins cracking his right arm as it transforms into a large, and powerful-looking, blue limb with black patterns covering it. The Regulars watch in wonder as the Lurker Cash son points out that that must be the Devil's right arm that's become so famous. Powering up the blue-and-black right arm with shinsu, the Devil of the Right Arm strikes the machine, and lands a new high-score of 11,988; revealing the man's name, Rapdevil, in the process.

Rapdevil returns to the side of the purple-haired Lurker Cash son, who claps in amazement that the Devil of the Right Arm was worth every penny. The boy then turns to Horyang, and states that it's about time for the giant to walk away from this. Horyang continues to remain silent as the Yeon girl realizes that her turn is up next. The Lurker Cash son asks what she thinks of the situation, and points out that he doesn't believe that she can beat the record set by Rapdevil, which he reminds her that in the end, his bodyguard's score will also count as his.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_08.jpg
Ehwa beats the record set by the Rapdevil

However, the Yeon girl gives off a grin, and states that she expected more from the Devil of the Right Arm given what he turned his right arm into. The Yeon girl is the next to arrive at the punching machine. She cracks her knuckle, and punches the machine. However, she stumbles, and provides the machine with what looks like a really weak punch. The Lurker Cash son laughs at her poor effort, but the Regulars all become confused when they see her score continue to rise up. The score eventually lands on 22,384 with Yeon Ehwa as the new high-score, which stuns the purple-haired boy wondering how this is possible.

Unable to understand it, the Lurker Cash son complains how that score was possible when she barely touched the punching instrument. However, Ehwa gives off a smile, and asks that this must mean that the deal between them is gone now. She walks by the purple-haired boy, and gives her thanks for providing her with a free test. The Lurker Cash son orders her to stop as his turn hasn't gone yet, but Ehwa figures that she doesn't even have to watch him since she already knows that his score will be weak given that he's had to hire others to help him up the Tower. Unable to say anything, the purple-haired boy moves toward the punching machine as Kim Lurker cheers him on.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_09.jpg
Prince, the son of Lurker Cash's boss, beats the record set by Ehwa

Ehwa continues to look away feeling completely relaxed now that she's free. However, she begins to hear the cheers of the Lurker Cash crowd as she looks up at the scoreboard. To her shock, she sees the number 25,521 as the new high-score with a man named Prince, the purple-haired boy of Lurker Cash, in the top spot. She turns around, and sees Prince's bodyguards all cheering for him wondering how he managed to get such a good score. Giving off a smile in Ehwa's direction, Prince informs her that it's not them that's carrying him up the Tower, he's the one carrying them, and orders for Ehwa to continue sticking with him.

Shocked at the result, Ehwa begs for another chance, but is told by Mule Love, who's currently busy eating chicken wings, that the Regulars will be given no retrials. Prince begins to laugh, and orders for Ehwa to return to him, which disgusts her. However, Akraptor begins to laugh as well, which grabs Prince's attention wondering what's so funny. Akraptor points out that what he's laughing at is how everything is acting, because they haven't realized yet that they're all losers in the end. Prince asks what he's referring to, which Akraptor orders him to look at the cloaked boy with long hair. He points out that out of all of them, he's the strongest one here.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_10.jpg
Bam, now known as Viole, beats the record set by Prince

Confused by what Akraptor means, Prince and Ehwa look in the direction of Bam walking towards the punching machine. Bam puts his hand on the spot to punch, and releases a giant wave of shinsu against it. The attack catches Mule Love's attention as well as the Regulars all stand shocked at the power that Bam had just released. The scoreboard skyrockets to 134,769 with Bam, now going by a new name as Viole, as the new top score. Prince is left stunned in complete shock at the sight of someone who had achieved a score over 100,000. Viole then returns to the crowd of Regulars as everyone looks at him in confusion. Ehwa looks at him closer, and realizes what she's dealing with after seeing the red symbol on Viole's cloak. Ranker Mule Love notices it as well that the flare-wave explosion is a symbol of the terrorist organization, FUG.

At this point, all 23 of the Regulars have punched the machine as Mule Love announces that this completes the 2nd Round of the 20th Floor test. The Ranker orders for the 23 Regulars to step forward, but Wangnan, and his company of failures, Miseng, Goseng, and Nia continue sitting against the wall in complete depression. Wangnan thinks of how his rank in the test has now dropped to 15th overall, and figures that it's all over; being a done deal that his organs are being donated to Lurker Cash.

    Winner Viole's Refusal 

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_11.jpg
Mule Love asks for the winner, Viole, to choose seven teammates for the final test

Mule Love orders for the 1st-place Viole to come up to the stage as Wangnan looks at him in envy. Jealous at the sight of someone about to pass the 20th Floor test on his first try unlike him, who failed even after taking the test multiple times. Goseng asks for Wangnan to stop crying as his tears are causing Miseng to cry as well.

The two break down even further as Goseng tries to calm both of them down. Goseng, and the remaining Regulars then look to the stage as Mule Love announces what will happen next. He informs the group that Viole is to choose seven teammates to take to the 3rd, and final, Round with him, which surprises everyone in the room.

Shocked by the announcement, Wangnan and company realize that the test was never about who gets the top-8, but actually that the person who got the best score gets to choose who will be moving on. Prince gives a complaint as to what the purpose of the last was, which Mule Love announces that it was to find the strongest of the group. Prince complains once more that the Ranker said the goal was to find the top-8, but Mule Love orders the Lurker Cash boy to shut up, and reminds him that he's the Test Administrator here. Back to the original subject, Mule Love orders once more for Viole to choose his seven teammates.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_12.jpg
Wangnan prepared to beg Viole to choose him for the final test

Wangnan thinks to himself that he still has a chance to make it to the final test, but wonders if Viole would pick him when many others have already displayed a higher power-level than him. Becoming depressed again, Wangnan looks down, and figures that Viole wouldn't pick him. Mule Love asks once more for Viole, who's remained silent until this point, to make his picks. However, before he could answer, Wangnan steps forward, and introduces himself to Viole as Regular number-1023.

Looking determined, Wangnan reminds himself that he can't give up here. Goseng asks what he's doing, but Wangnan continues to shout at Viole that he doesn't only have power, but that the era of Jahad's Empire will end with him. He tries to point out that he's also a dancer, a singer, and an entertainer, but is shown struggling to prove that he can do those things. He then proudly states that the more Viole gets to know him, the cuter Wangnan will come off as to him. At this point, Wangnan realizes that he had unintentionally walked onto the stage before Viole and Mule Love.

Falling to his knees, Wangnan begs Viole to take him, and that he will do anything if he gets chosen. The Regulars watch in stunned silence as they hear Wangnan claim that he will even bark like a loyal dog, or lick Viole's shoe, just to get chosen. Prince laughs at Wangnan's attempt to ditch his pride, and states that it's better to just take the test again than to end up in such a position. However, Kim remains silent knowing that Wangnan has no choice here.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_13.jpg
Akraptor begs Viole to choose him

Continuing to bow in front of Viole, Wangnan calls out Prince in his mind that the boy of Lurker cash is someone who can take the test as many times as he wants, but for him, this is his only chance left to climb the Tower. Viole tries to answer once more, but at this point, it's Akraptor who walks onto the stage. Similar to Wangnan, Akraptor falls to his knees, and asks for Viole to choose him. Wangnan is left confused by what he's seeing as Akraptor begins to cry, and points out that he has a daughter higher up in the Tower waiting for him. Akraptor continues that he has been wanting to see how much she's grown after being away from his daughter for so long, which starts to enrage Wangnan that he's stating such an obvious lie. Wangnan informs Viole not to trust him, and states that Akraptor is obviously lying since there can't be a daughter out there that looks like him. Wangnan and Akraptor begin to bicker, but are interrupted when Horyang gets on the stage as well. Like Wangnan and Akraptor, Horyang falls to his knees, and begs for Viole to choose him as there's someone higher in the Tower that he needs to find. The sight of even the giant begging surprises Wangnan and Akraptor as the crying Miseng runs up to the stage, and hugs Viole.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_14.jpg
Horyang and Miseng beg Viole to be chosen as Ehwa offers her service

Holding onto Viole, Miseng asks him to choose her as she misses her mom and dad, who are at a higher Tower Floor. She begs him once more as Wangnan orders for Miseng to get off his master. Akraptor tries to sell that Miseng is his daughter, but Wangnan orders him to shut up. At this point, Ehwa is the next to step onto the stage, and tells the beggars that they should stop what they're doing. Stepping before Viole, Ehwa suggests that he takes her as his teammate. She explains that while everyone has their own personal, and sad, reason to climb the Tower, they should still choose those that have proven their strength. Wangnan complains as to why Ehwa's already acting like she's made a team with Viole, which she answers that it's because she's a fisherman of the Great Yeon Family; making it obvious that she would get chosen. Wangnan however, counters by revealing to everyone that she's someone who will kill her own teammates. Confused by his statement, Wangnan points out that she's the reason he failed the previous attempt at the 20th Floor test. Ehwa is left stunned finally remembering Wangnan's appearance in the last test.

Wangnan turns to Viole, and complains not to choose her as she will fry everyone in the test, even her teammates. Before Ehwa could defend herself, Wangnan asks if she can do anything else other than kill people with her flame-powers, but she's unable to come up with an answer, which causes Wangnan to laugh knowing that he was correct.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_15.jpg
Viole answers that he won't be choosing any teammates

Wangnan next orders for Ehwa to leave before she accidentally kills someone. However, Ehwa begins to sweat, and finally manages to say that unlike him, she has big breasts. The Regulars are all left stunned by the announcement as Prince can be seen in the back laughing uncontrollably. Wangnan tries to prove that his privates are bigger, and begins to take off his belt, but is forced to stop when the Regulars threaten him not to do it. Moments later, the room becomes silent as Viole looks at the five Regulars, Wangnan, Akraptor, Horyang, Miseng and Ehwa, that begged to be chosen. Wangnan is left annoyed that others apart from him begged to get chosen, and hopes that Viole chooses him. However, Viole answers that he's decided not to choose any teammates.

The answer comes off as a shock to everyone, including Mule Love. Viole explains that he alone will be enough to pass the test, and asks for Supervisor Mule Love to send everyone else home. Wangnan continues to question in his mind why this is happening, and complains as to why the result ended up like this.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_16.jpg
Jue Viole Grace introduces himself as FUG's newest Slayer Candidate

However, Mule Love rejects Viole's statement that the 3rd Round of the 20th Floor test is a team event, and must be done with seven others. Thinking over the situation, Viole explains that there isn't anyone here who can be his teammate, and that he doesn't want to choose anyone that's unqualified. Ehwa steps forward complaining how he could think like that, and questions if Viole is someone that's completely full of himself. Ehwa points out how she noticed the symbol of FUG on his cloak, and questions how a wannabe gangster can choose to eliminate people that may pass with him. She claims that Viole should be embarrassed wearing a fake symbol of FUG on his cloak. However, Viole answers that it's not fake, which confuses Ehwa.

Viole announces to everything that he's known as Jue Viole Grace, a Slayer Candidate nominee for FUG that lives to kill Jahad and his Great Families. Wangnan, and the rest of the Regulars remain in silence at Viole's introduction as Ehwa questions if what he said is the truth.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/arc15_17_7.jpg
Mule Love challenges Viole to a game

Viole in return states that this is the reason that they can't be his teammates, and that he's everyone's enemy. The Regulars are unable to say anything in return, but Mule Love gives off a cough to remind Viole that he, the Ranker, is still the one in charge here. Mule Love states that he understands Viole's position, but reminds him that the rules of the 3rd Round still can't be changed as they're the absolute rules of the Tower.
