Ch.53: 2F - Submerged Fish (2)

Chapter 53: Koon and Rak argues about whether to force Baam into climbing the Tower. Koon reveals to Rak that he once had a half-sister called Maria, who is kind and caring. Koon has helped her half-sister of becoming a Zahard Princess, but still he feels "a hole in his heart". One part of Koon intention is to find out his missing part in his heart through Baam and Rachel's interaction. In Rak's eyes, however, Koon has lost his ambitions to become the leader.

Baam suddenly comes in, and tells Rak and Koon of Rachel's leg injuries and his decision in becoming Rachel's legs and aid her in climbing the Tower. Baam sincerely ask for both of his friends' help and climb the Tower along with him. A sudden epiphany dawned Koon, and Koon realises that what he lacks is the act to climb the Tower with his comrades. Koon then promises Baam to teach him of the dirty tricks.

In the last scene, the three comrades sit in the same room, with an imaginary background appearing as in an orchard garden. (This is most likely an allusion to the Three Kingdoms where three men swear each other brothers and to fight for the same ideals) Finally, the three friends discuss strategy in passing the tests, with Koon promising to acquire inside information from the Rankers.
