Ch.04: 1F - Headon's Floor (4)

Chapter 4: After stabbing the Ball, Baam notices that it makes no difference, and the ball doesn't pop. Yuri questions Headon whether he intended on forcing Baam to give up or not and yells at Baam to stop taking the test. He refuses, and continues his attempts to pop the Ball, even to the point of breaking his cleaver. After a while, the White Steel Eel regains consciousness and begins its attack again. Yuri moves to drag Baam out of the area, but Evan suggests another way: begging Black March to ignite. Yuri, who can't ignite Black March herself, is dubious of the method, but Evan believes in Baam.



Baam meets with Black March, who asks him why he's climbing the Tower. When Baam says he's climbing to find his old friend, she accepts his request, also noting that she likes Baam's face.

Black March ignites, much to Yuri's surprise and annoyance, prompting her to exclaim that Black March is sexist. However, the situation becomes dangerous as the Ball goes out of control. Baam disappears, and now Yuri and Evan have to find Baam and reclaim Black March.

After they leave, Headon, seemingly alone, makes a few short statements (though we find out later on that he is actually talking to Rachel). Meanwhile, Evan voices his thoughts about Baam. He wonders if Baam's determination will waver as he climbs the Tower, since beauty and power will undoubtedly tempt him. Yuri then decides to pursue Baam to the Floor of Test.
