Baam awakens at the first floor of the Tower where he meets Headon, the Guardian of the 1st floor. Headon welcomes him and tests him with a Ball and a White steel eel, telling Baam he can go to the next floor if he pop the Ball. When Yuri and Evan arrives, Baam is given a Pocket from Evan. Yuri tells Headon that the test is too much for Baam, Headon answers this is the adequet level, because Baam is an Irregular. Later, Headon agrees to bend the rules and says if Yuri lends Baam the Black March, he would look away just this once.

Baam manages to pop the Ball by Igniting Black March, and arrives at the Evanhell's floor, the 2nd floor. He survives the first test that reduces the number of Irregulars in half. He teams up with Koon and Rak in the second test. Baam and the other Regulars meet their Exam Supervisor, Lero-ro after taking a rest, and Lero-ro conducts a test by flying a Shinsoo barriar to them.
