Ch.58: 2F - Last Examination (2)

Koon moves onto the stage, requesting that Lahel be able to take the next test, despite her injury. Yu Han Sung tells him its against the rules, but Koon simply says that he will take a test directly from the  Guardian of the floor. To his surprise, he cannot take the test since to do so, he must be an Irregular. Baam hears this and reveals to everyone that he is an Irregular.

After Baam's outburst, the remaining Regulars who passed are given a choice: to take their own test, or help Baam with his. Koon chooses not to help Baam since it will have him banished from the Koon family and tells everyone he should have never aided him in the first place. Rak suddenly hits him, and then provokes the other Regulars into helping Baam.

Baam meets with the Guardian, who accepts Baam's proposal for a test. He then leaves to talk to the director, who reveals that he knew Baam was an Irregular all along, and that the Crown Game, the note, and the inadequate treatment for Lahel was all part of his plan. Yu Han Sung then asks why he does it for one girl, to which Baam replies that the top of the Tower is just a pile of garbage without Lahel.

The stage where Koon is is now empty except for himself. He lies there alone, until Rak comes in, who tells him that his plan worked.
