The red haired witch was sitting on a boulder staring at the sky while dreaming of a beautiful tree in bloom and under it was-

"HEYYY! RED TURTLE! GET DOWN HERE SO I CAN EAT YOU!" A horrific scream broke her train of thoughts and the girl came to. She questioned when she even got here. Wasn't I lying on on my bed a few minutes ago?...no wait... headon visited me...OH! Right...I'm on the floor of tests now... passing it will be a breeze considering I've spent 6 years honing my abilities.

"HEYYY! RED TURTLE!" An annoying yell was directed at her once again. Ianna looked down upon her spot and met gazes with a monster like alligator which could stand and yell at her like Yurin did. Hehe. He reminds me of a hotheaded bee I know.

"Alright. I'm awake now so tell me child. What is the condition to pass this test?" Ianna asked with an innocent smile on her face.

"HAAH?! IM HERE TO HUNT YOU SO I CAN GO UP THE TOWER! WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SAY-

Before he could finish his sentence, he jumped off his cliff and ran towards his so called "prey"

Ianna laid her eyes on the chestnut haired boy and a feeling of immense potential flooded her brain. This kid...is an irregular,huh? Infinite potential. I suppose he could surpass Zahard if what he seeks is at the top of the tower, regardless. I think I'll stick around to see if he's anything fun.

Ianna could hear their conversation even from her spot as she treaded slowly towards the trio, their conversation went like this
"IM NOT A CROCODILE! YOU WUSSY LITTLE TURTLE! I HAVE NO BUSINESS WITH YOU! ALL IM INTERESTED IN IS THAT BLACK TURTLE SO YOU JUST BUG OFF!"

"Huh? Black haired guy, why?"

"to hunt him. He's my prey!"

"Fine, it's none of my business anyway..."

Ianna watched as the pale bluenette stop for a while but as the croc got closer to Baam the rustling sound of the tall grass could be heard behind the giant crocodile,

"OWWW! WHO DID IT?! WHICH TURTLE HURT ME?!"

The bluenette seemed to be in a state of shock so

"Cmon! Run little black lamb!" Ianna yelled while pulling the chestnut's hand fleeing from the scene with the bluenette high on their tracks.

As the three of them settled into safety. They started conversing. "Now tell me little black lamb, did Yuri give you that weapon?" Ianna asked, she knew what she was asking for, the reason why ask such an annoying and rhetorical question was unknown to everybody else anyway.

The bluenette seemed to eye the weapon and finally caught on, "THE BLACK MARCH?! why do-

"Hey hey~ tell me if Yuri Ha gave you that girl." Ianna questioned again sitting down next to the little black lamb.

"Well...uh..." he seemed to be fretting over if he should tell her or not. How disappointing... I guess he isn't much right now,but when he blooms... he'll grow even more than the world tree. Hmm...this little lamb could use my help! It's not free. Better pay me when you get successful little lamb.

"Fine. I won't probe any further. I've heard that little brat is so careless I bet she wouldn't even know if she killed one her sisters accidentally, I've never actually met her tho." Ianna blurred out with a smug look on her face.

The bluenette seemed to question the girls identity when she made such a joke but ignored it as he said "My names Khun. Khun Aguero Agnes. And yours?" That was directed to Baam.

"Baam. Twenty-fifth Baam."

"OH OH! Mine's Ianna. Ianna Maehwa!"

"Maehwa? Like the tree? On the 100th floor? The Hon family's Maehwa tree?" Khun asked with a dark look on his face.

"Yeah. I was named after that. Why?" Ianna asked with a neutral look on her face.

"Hmm...guess it was nothing."

At least he's got a good mind. Bet he's cunning just like Eduan too. And annoying no doubt.

"Oh well, I'm sure we all don't trust each other right now but I assure you, that won't matter, because I've decided to climb the tower with you Baam."

Wow...I feel like such a third wheel like when I was with Arlene and V. Now that I think about it...why the hell did I go on those dates with them... OmG...V just wanted discounts didn't he?! That traitor!

Also, I feel like I'm watching some movie about a dude who just started working at a company and is getting hit on by his boss. Well, don't mind me-

"DAMN TURTLES! COME OUT HERE! ESPECIALLY YOU RED TURTLE! LETS F-I-G-H-T!!!!"

"How long has he been keeping that up? Has he gone mad or something?" Khun asked.

"Hmm...I'll go kick his butt one more time if you'll permit it." Ianna spoke out.

Since when did I ask for permission-

"Oh...sure. Kick his butt. I welcome it."

"YES! HEYYY ALLIGATOR! COME EAT THIS!"

But before Ianna could land a hit on the gator. The time ran out.

ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙'⸊ˎ

"Soo... wanna make a team of three and four? Together? With the gator?" Ianna suggested.

"Ughhh we don't really have a choice...do we?" Khun groaned.

"Well...I guess that's work with me" Baam squeaked.

"Great. I'll go get him to join. Just stay here." Ianna stood up and walked over towards the gator.

"OHH RED TURTLE THERE YOU ARE AHAHA! NOW YOU'll BE HUNTED BY-

"Silence. Youngsters these days just have no respects for their elders."

Khun was eyeing Ianna in anticipation. He was genuinely surprised when you pulled out a rappier and sliced the air in half. Literally the air.

Perhaps the gator could feel it too as he backed down in fear. His eyes darted everywhere looking for somewhere to hide.

"Hmm? Nothing to say now? How disappointing." Ianna said with a bored look on her face.

The gator couldn't say a word since his fear had taken over him but he was definitely mad.

"Join our team. I'll make sure to train you until you can beat at least one of the 10 family heads. Got it. We better aim for the lo Bo Pia family first since Traumerei just lies in bed with his frogs all the time..."

The gator seemed to be intrigued by her offer of training him which led to him yelling out "HAHA! I'LL JOIN AS LONG AS YOU MAKE ME STRONG AND GIVE ME BANANAS AND CHOCOLATE!"

"He's got high standards..." Khun sighed.

THE THREE TO FOUR PEOPLE HOLDING EACH OTHER AT THIS MOMENT ARE CONSIDERED A TEAM

YOU'LL BE SENT TO THE NEXT TEST SPOT!

"HAHAHA! IM GONNA BE STRONGER THAN ALL YOU TURTLES!"
