Ch.55: 2F - Submerged Fish (4)

2F - Submerged Fish (4): Ren's secret transmission was discovered by Yu Han Sung, and now the two have a standoff. Ren prepares his attack first, summoning his giant eel.

Koon continues to persuade Lero-Ro to let Rachel into the next test. When asked why he believes the note wasn't sent by a Regular, Koon proceeds to relay what he had discovered.

One week before the test, he meets Hwa Ryun, who helps him get the soda machine running. She tells Koon that although Baam cut one of her eyes, she won't get sidetracked over it and that Ho was the one who's really dangerous. He's skeptical at first, but prepares a plan to confirm and counter whatever Ho is plotting.

Koon first makes a deal with Full Black, giving him a bit of Suspendium in exchange for information on what's going on with Ho. The day before the test, Full Black talks about Ho's strange actions, including bursting out of his room, asking who Michelle Light was, etc. Koon moves into action and enters Ho's room, finding the note that he received and makes a duplicate. After reading what the memo said, he immediately tells Rachel the truth. When Koon suggests telling Baam about this, she forcefully tells him not to since she is the one climbing the Tower.

After the teams of the Hide-and-Seek game are announced, Koon strikes a deal with Androssi. In exchange for keeping Rachel and Baam away from each other, he guarantees Androssi's pass in the test.

After Koon tricks Quant into falling during Team A's test, he tells Quant that he will have Laure send him up. When Quant asks why, Koon lies about making a deal: by making Team A lose, Rachel would be eliminated from the test.

Thus, all the pieces were in place...or so he thought.
