Excel sighed, shaking his head. "That attack wouldn't have killed you. It's an attack designed to shatter hard surfaces like metal or stone. It wouldn't have done as much damage on you." He walked towards his sword to collect it, then walked back. "What I mean, is that anyone associated with me will likely be labeled a traitor. As I am here to kill the kind and bring this whole system down."

He walked to the nearest rock to sit on and sat down, looking at the woman again. She seemed a bit naive. Not knowing how dangerous this tower could be. Though her lightning attacks were pretty powerful for this level, so she at least had some kind of training. Still though, people would be coming after him once it got out that he was a slayer. Strong people from noble families most likely.

"My name is Excel. And yes I have a 1 star pocket. It can function as a lantern. My master told me there would be tests involving dark arena's so I thought it to be a good choice. What is your name?" After she told her name he held out his hand with the palm facing upwards. "Pocket; visible mode." He spoke. And a small metallic sphere appeared near him and floated into his hand. "Register partner; Celestia." The sphere displayed the words 'team member registered' a moment later. A ding sounded over the com system a few seconds later. "Administrator Jobbs again! Attention participants. Both teams will now be teleported to the common area. You can rest and eat there. I will meet you there to explain the next test." Just as he finished talking both teams were engulfed in white light and disappeared. A moment later they then reappeared in what looked like a cafeteria of some kind. A floor with black carpet, white tables, chairs and couches, and a counter with a kitchen area behind it. Behind the counter stood a middle aged woman at the ready.

 Once she saw the four people arrive she spoke up. "Welcome to the common area's restaurant. Be sure to eat properly. Right now your meal is free, as your test wasn't one of the 'real' ones yet. With every real test you get points depending on how well you do. Those points are basically your money in the tower. In other words, if you do badly you will be poor. If you do well you'll become wealthy. So, once again, be sure to eat properly. The administrator will be here momentarily."
