Vol.2 Ch.25: 25F – The Wool's Knot (3)

After Baam "died" six years ago, Koon met up with Leesoo and tells him Rachel deceived everyone. Leesoo thinks he's crazy, but Koon reveals how Lero-ro secretly called a doctor to fix Rachel's legs; however, it turns out they were perfectly fine all along. He doesn't know why she would trick them, though he suspects a connection between her and Yu Han Sung during the test. Koon then proposes a plan to split the team in two - he would take Rachel and form another team later while the rest would continue climbing. Finally, he tells Leesoo not to tell others of the betrayal because it would break the team Baam held dear.

Novick proceeds with the ranking ranking game. Edin joins in, but the other three immediately forfeits. He is quickly pulverized, and the game continues with Novick and Ran battling for first place.

The team returns to the hut and meets with Koon, who laughs at their uniforms. It turns out Ran beat Novick in battle, but the latter ordered shirts thinking that he would come out first. Despite this, purchasing the outfits was a good thing as Koon just signed up everyone for the next test.

As the sun begins to set, Koon reveals his intent in climbing the Tower. He announces that he'll overtake Koon Eduan and become the new Family Head. In addition, he wants the members to look after Rachel and protect her, but never to get too emotionally attached.

At night, Rachel is lying in her bed when she suddenly bursts into laughter...
