Why can I see the open sky if I'm inside the Tower?
Runa stood where she had appeared, her backpack hanging off one shoulder as she thought about this conundrum, when a small device appeared and gave a brief announcement that could be clearly heard throughout the arena.
"All contestants, welcome to the second floor Evankhells hell! The first test will begin right now. There are four hundred people on this floor, thin it to two hundred."
Thin it to two hundred? Do they want us to kill each other until there're only two hundred people left?
A moment later, she heard rustling in the grasses, as two people, twins by the look of them, came into view about five meters away. One wielded a wand, the other a long needle, of the type commonly seen in the tower. Master always said that the one who strikes first is the one who laughs last. With that thought, Runa charged the pair of fighters. The wand-wielding twin shot a bolt of shinsu at her as she charged, which hit her in the chest, leaving nothing but a handful of red sparks. These sparks crackled down Runas arm and surrounded her fist as she zipped past the swordsman and slammed it into the wand-wielders face, blasting him back as the built up sparks explode outwards from Runas fist. The man lay limply where he fell, his face smoking slightly. As she rounded on the swordsman, who had turned to face her, she saw, then felt, a massive wave of shinsoo break over her as she raised her arms to protect her face and chest, red sparks gathering on her arms and throughout her hair and crackling in her eyes, the hum of energy filling her ears as she looked around and saw bodies all around her, and a very tall man shouting and... waving at her? Runa wanted to get a closer look at the man, and jogged towards him, the lightning increasing her speed somewhat. Once she reached the man she gave him an annoyed look, hands on her hips as she looked up at the very tall man.
"What do you mean taking out the trash? They may not have been very good at fighting, but they're still people."
