Test



There are 2 testing systems within the Tower: the current system designed for Regulars and the ancient system designed for Irregulars. The current testing system was likely implemented after Zahard, the 10 Great Warriors and his helpers had conquered the first 134 Floors of the Tower.

Current Testing System
When a regular is climbing the Tower, he or she has to pass one or more tests on each floor.

The tests are created to determine whether the regular is worthy of going to the next floor. Generally the difficulty increases the higher one climbs. There are however a few exceptions, like the 2nd Floor and the 20th floor, where the difficulty is particularly high.

The tests are given to the regulars by either the Guardian of the floor or, more often, by the Guardian's proxy, the floor's Ruler. Each floor's Ruler has the right to decide the exam of his floor. But if the Guardian raises objections, the Ruler must follow the Guardian's wish. ([]) And these exams are then taken by future test takers, politically named as regulars.

The Guardian's tests
This is an actual fact, the original testing system and designed to test an Irregular.

After being chosen to enter the Tower(Ch 76), an Irregular is then teleported to the First Floor of the Inner Tower to take the Guardian's test (conducted by Headon). And only an Irregular can request to take a Guardian's test (Ch 58). Take note that one cannot become a "chosen one" or an Irregular by participating in the Guardian's test, like Baam's group in the Submerged Fish Hunt test. The Guardian's test itself is binded by a set of the Tower's Rules.

The Guardian's test reflects the "worth of the things"(Ch 4) the Irregular wishes to gain from the Tower and in essence, his desires(Ch 58). How precious are the things he wants which in turn, determines their worth to him? What are the lengths will the Irregular go to obtain his heart's desires and is he willing to undergo gruelling challenges to take the journey of fulfilling them at the top? And as he climbs the Tower, will he give up in the the middle of a test or after having passed numerous tests?

When the Irregular passes a Guardian's test, it is possible the Guardian may fulfill part or all of his wishes expressed before the test(Ch 58). However, the wishes made to each Guardian are likely just part of his heart's desires. He will then be teleported to the next Floor (Ch 4), except for the 43rd Floor because the Guardian is dead. But if he fails or gives up while taking the test, he may not pass and he may not ascend to the next Floor. It is unknown if Irregulars who fail to pass a Guardian's test are allowed to retake it or are promptly disqualified from climbing the Tower.
