Talk:135th Floor/@comment-23857794-20160706100651/@comment-25346948-20160706213302

Just some thougts on this matter (not cannon in any way):
 * Yu Han Sung explains that only irregulars may request a test from a guardian; but perhaps (hypothesis) this is only the result of some contract between Zahard and the guardians, inside his empire, he deals with the regulars (which are his subjects). Thus this would be only valid from the 2nd floor to the 134th included.
 * hence, perhaps anyone could request a test from the guardian on the 135th floor
 * this would be supported by the fact that the 134th test is akin to become a high ranker, i.e. this test takes as long as one needs, once ones belongs to the top 1000 (roughly), one gets the right ot ascend and to challenge the next guardian.

Or it is as you say, only an irregular may request at test from a guardian (condition predates Zahard empire and is not related to him), and yes, only an irregular would be able to challenge the 135th floor.

Now, this also may be linked with the exact wording of Han Sung, "one who opened the door themself"; which may restrict the list of potential candiates. As it has been speculated that the 10 warriors or Rachel did not open the door but merely passed through as someone else --respectively Zahard and Baam-- triggered the mechanism (whatever that might be).
