Crown Game (arc)

Quant tells Yu Han Sung that only three people passed the deathmatch test because he didn’t check and there was one of Zahard’s princesses and an irregular in the mix. Aware of Evankhell’s strict reputation, Yu Han Sung quickly comes up with a plan to salvage Quant’s mess.



Meanwhile, Baam is having a small conversation with Leesoo when Lero-Ro comes and announces that an optional bonus game is available, with the prize being immediate advance to the next floor. In the arena, he explains the rules (for details click here )

Hatsu's team and Shopin's team participate in round one of the game. Shopin's team is easily beaten by Anak alone after which she steals the crown. Hatsu's team, First Emperor's team and Laure's team participate in round two. Anak takes the crown while Hatsu fights First Emperor's team, and Ship Leesoo fights with Serena Rinnen and Ho. Hatsu easily defeats First Emperor's team and moves on to help Ship Leesoo.

The defeat of First Emperor's team triggers Laure's plan. He wakes up from where he appeared to be sleeping and starts blasting shinsoo at Anak while his teammates move in on her trying to take the crown. His shinsoo attack fails to harm Anak. She becomes angry, ignites her weapon and uses it to attack Laure.

Laure dodges her attacks but she suddenly stops when she senses Baam's weapon, the Black March, resonating with hers. Laure notices her change in behavior, but before he can make anything from it his team forces him to forfeit the Game. Anak jumps of the throne, causing her team to lose, and breaks into Baam's room demanding that he gives her the Black March (ch18).

 A long discussion ensues ending in  Baam's  refusal to give up the weapon. She is about to attack him when  Lero -Ro interferes. He tells her that she is disqualified (because she jumped of the throne), that she should get back in her room and that he won’t forgive any further misbehavior. She starts to leave, but then instead asks Lero-Ro if he could change the rules. She wants to make a wager. If Baam wins the he gets both the  Green April  and the  Black March, but if he loses she gets both the weapons. Lero-Ro says it sound like fun. She explain the bet to Baam, and asks him if he excepts it. Baam refuses again. She then threatens to come after him when the game is over. Baam is reluctant to get his friends involved, but  Koon  ends up accepting the bet in Baam's place.

 Lero-ro agrees to add a new rule. The rule state that Baam's team will participate in all the remaining rounds starting with the third. If he succeeds in those rounds he gets the Green April. If he fails he loses to Black March. The new rule doesn't alter any existing rules.

On the way pack to their room Hatsu's team passes Rachel's Team. Androssi says something to Anak which provokes Anak. Anak was about to attack, but Hatsu stopped her. She continued walking off in disdain.

Koon's team has a long conversation with each other which includes one of Baams flash back. In the flashback Rachel tells him that he must not betray people especially girls, and if he does the world's ceiling will fall in.

Rozéal's team ,  Lebin's team ,  Koon's team  and  Aleksai's team  participate in round three of the game. At the start of the game  Rozéal ,  Lebin  and  Chungchung  strategize that this round is all about speed. All three of these people feel they have the advantage when it comes to speed, but are quickly proven wrong by  Koon. Moving incredibly fast Koon takes the crown.

 With the crown in his hand Koon taunts the other teams by telling them he could win the round immediately but it wouldn’t be fun, and challenges them to take the crown instead.

They all move to attack him, but before they can get to him he throws the crown into their midst for them to fight over. While everyone else is attacking Chungchung moves in to try and steal the crown while no one is looking.

The various regulars go and attack Baam's team, but using Koon's manbarodenna and Rak's skill with his spear, Rak and Koon are able to fend off the regulars while protecting Baam at the same time.

The remaining enemies (Lebin, Rozéal and Leaon 3) try and rush them by attacking at the same time. All of their attacks are stopped mysteriously (maybe because of something done by Baam or by the Black March). Afterwards Koon and Rak quickly take out the remaining attackers.

Chungchung meanwhile has been trying to sneak to the throne with the crown. Koon is aware of this fact and mocks Chungchung by reveals to her that the crown she has is a fake replica made by Manbarondenna. Chungchung feels outraged that her entire effort has been futile.

Koon's team ,  Team Blarouse ,  Team Hoshi  and  Team Red Hair  participate in round four of the game. Team Red Hair and Team Hoshi decided to gang up on Koon's team, but both teams are quickly defeated in a surprise attack by Koon's other team. It is revealed that Team Blarouse made a deal with Koon during the first test on the second floor. The deal was that Koon would help the other team through their tests by carrying them in his bag in exchange for them helping him pass his tests. He signaled that he wanted their help by removing his bandana in the third round. After defeating Koon's enemies Koon's other team forfeited the game making way for Koon's team to pass.

At the start of the round  Hwa Ryun  annhilates Team Dahdi and Team Azadni. She then turns her sights on Koon’s team. Rak  and  Koon  move in intercept her but she jumps over them landing on the throne next to  Baam. Koon and Rak try to go help Baam but they are intercepted by Hwa Ryun's teammates  Yung Changsoo  and  Goon. She moves to strike him but is blocked by  Androssi. Baam starts to defend himslef but one of the teammates reassures Baam that this wasn't their goal, and Baam realized it was Rachel behind the hood.

Hwa Ryun moves to attack Rachel. Baam protects her with his body, sustaining a head injury while using shinsoo to attack Hwa-ryun's eye. Baam is badly injured and his team is disqualified because he lost contact with the throne. The only team left in the game is Rachel's team and they choose not to steal the crown. The Crown Game ends with no winners
