The Military Force of the Soaring Continent was one of the strongest forces around the world because their Military Circle was the united force of all the powerful families residing in the whole continent.
But even if that was on the surface, it was actually different on the inside. Since the whole force was composed of powerful branch forces from different families, so tensions were ant to be ford in between these forces. After all, a mountain cannot contain two tigers; much less having a bunch of them.
Due to this reason, the Military Circle of the Soaring Continent was divided into two major divisions. The first division was composed of Aristocratic Families and Martial-Art Clans, ntalist Families. On the other hand, the families in the second division ca from the slightly weaker families.
Since the families from the first major division had a long history, every one of them were quite powerful. And naturally, most of their family mbers were talented who had quite an edge over the others. Due to this, most of the high-ranking positions in the military ca from these certain families.
This was the common political hierarchy on everything; if a certain family was powerful and strong enough to suppress the others, then they were qualified enough to take the leading position on anything.
And this was the thing that the families from the second major division hated the most. Since they were being suppressed by the so-called 'talents', the mbers from these families started to loathe the mbers from the first division families.
They were raised this way. So, it was natural for them to hate these so-called talented individuals.
Nicolas Northwood ca from one of these families which was why he hated any Mighty Chosen One that he t. Especially when he had a first-hand experience of their unrivaled talents.
Despite all of his hard work, he was still being suppressed by them. And he believed that it was because of those crazy talents of theirs.
At this mont, Nicolas was currently heading to the room that he chose for the sparring match. But as he was currently in a bad mood as he walked towards the room. "D*mn it! He dared to underestimate that much?"
"Did he think that I am that weak to let that skinny newcor face in battle? D*mn you, Arthur! This ti, I am going to make sure that you are going to regret betting your ranking title in the line."
...
anwhile, Arthur and Molton were currently in the training room while waiting for Nicolas.
"Senior Brother, I am actually quite curious about sothing," said Molton as he looked at Arthur who was currently lying leisurely on a gym's bench chair.
Arthur turned his head at him and said. "Ask away."
"Why is this place called the gar's tower when this place was only used for training?" asked Molton almost instantly.
Hearing that, Arthur suddenly started chuckling before answering. "It is because pretty much everyone in this place are gars."
Then he paused for a mont before continuing. "The first five floors of this building are only facilities with so basic training equipnt, so it is natural for you to see it as a typical training place."
"But when you reach floors higher than the fifth one, things are going to be a little different. Most of the training equipnt on those floors are quite advanced with so virtual rooms ant for special training."
Molton nodded his head and asked another question. "Is that the only difference between the higher floors and the lower ones?"
Arthur thought for a mont before giving his answer. "Starting from 6th floor, your strength is being asured by both of your Real World and Virtual World battle prowess. And most of the training equipnt on the higher floors are ant to asure both of those."
"And can beco a Regular by reaching the higher floors?" followed Molton almost imdiately.
Arthur was pursing his lips while responding with it. "Basically, yes. But it is not that simple because you needed to be strong in the Real World and equally skilled in the Virtual World."
"If your strength on both worlds are not in match, then you can't beco a regular in this place. After all, you can't pass the test designated on those floors if you are only strong on a single world."
Then he took a brief pause before continuing. "As for becoming a Regular, you need to at least reach the 25th floor before you beco one."
Molton was nodding his head repeatedly as he listened at Arthur's words. But while he was recollecting his thoughts, he suddenly received a ssage from his advance watch.
"Huh!? Sis got caught already?" muttered Molton to himself after reading the content of the ssage. After that, he turned his head at Arthur and imdiately said. "I guess, we are already running out of ti, Senior Brother."
And before Arthur could even ask why, he imdiately added. "The person that is going to bring ho is about to arrive."
Hearing that, Arthur suddenly jumped up from his seat while looking at him with an astounded expression on his face. "Eh!? Already? How co they know that you are in here? I thought you sneaked out from your ho?"
Molton didn't reply at him directly and just raised his right arm while shaking it; he was showing his advance watch.
Arthur suddenly slapped his forehead as he imdiately picked up what Molton was implying the mont he saw that. Then he started clicking his tongue repeatedly while shaking his head.
A few monts later, Arthur patted Molton's shoulder while saying with a serious tone. "That is why you are still too green."
Then he paused for a mont to raise his right arm and showed his advance watch to Molton. "From now on, you should learn from – buy a specialized advance watch like this secretly and link it with your original one."
"That way, they can't track you once you sneak out once again. But at the sa ti, you can still send so SOS signal if ever sothing unexpected happened."
Hearing that, Molton's eyes suddenly turned wide as he ca into a realization. "Oh~! That is Cool! As expected to Senior Brother – you are really knowledgeable."
Earlier, Molton only comply with Arthur's offer since he really wanted to fight a strong opponent as soon as possible. But right now, he had started to view him as his real Senior Brother.
After that, he looked at Arthur with a serious face before asking. "Senior Brother, can I ask you another favor?"
"Tell , I will help you with all I got," responded Arthur without having any second thoughts.

There was a very beautiful teenage girl standing in the lobby of All-Gars' Gym. And even if she didn't intend to attract anyone's attention, all of the males who were passing by couldn't help but turn their heads while walking the mont they saw her.
A mont later, a middle-aged man suddenly walked at her and said. "This is the right place, young miss. The receptionist said that he did see the young master co here."
"Did they tell you what floor is he in, Uncle Shaun? For so reason I can't contact him anymore," asked the young woman with an annoyed tone. 'Where is that st*pid brother of mine, now? I clearly told him to wait in the lobby since we are already on our way.'
Shaun imdiately nodded his head and answered. "They said that he went straight to the fourth floor. And I already asked why we can't receive his signal. They said that he is probably inside a specialized training room that can block signals."
"Can you wait a little more, young miss. I am going to fetch him now," he was about to walk away after saying that.
But the young girl suddenly said. "Wait! I am coming with you. I also want to see what kind of training facilities they have on this so-called tower of gars."
After that, they imdiately headed towards the fourth floor. But the mont they arrived at that place, they beca surprised at what they heard; and also annoyed at the sa ti.
"What!? Are you telling that he is already not in here?" said the young woman with full of annoyance, asking one of the guys training in the hall.
"That is right, miss. He already left this place right after defeating a regular with a single punch," said the man with excitent. Then he reenacted what he saw earlier while saying. "He just throws a single punch in the air and sends a powerful invisible wave towards his opponent."
"The famous 'Gorilla' of the 25th floor didn't even stand a chance. He is imdiately been defeated after that single punch; he quickly lost he consciousness after getting hit and-..."
The man wanted to say sothing more but the young woman imdiately raised her hand to stop him from talking. Then she asked. "Then where is he now? Do you know where he is heading?"
The man thought for a mont before shrugging his shoulders while saying. "I am not sure, but he probably went straight to the 25th floor since that is what I heard from their bet."
The girl raised one of her eyebrows the mont she heard that. Then she released a helpless sigh before saying. "Aright, thank you."
After that, she walked towards Shaun who was talking to another man. "Uncle Shaun, let's go to the 25th floor – they said that he is probably on that floor."
But before she could walk away, Shaun suddenly stopped her. "Wait, young miss. This guy seed to know sothing."
The girls suddenly frowned her brows before turning her head at the man talking to Shaun. And when the latter saw her looking at him, he imdiately said. "For instance, are you Miss Jillian Potter?"
Hearing that, the girl further raised one of her eyebrows and asked. "How did you know my na? Who are you?"
Hearing the confirmation, the man imdiately took sothing from his pocket and gave it to her. "Your brother told to give this to you."
Seeing that, Shaun imdiately took at the thing that the man was giving her; it was an advance watch. And after a quick inspection, he imdiately nodded his head and said. "It is the advance watch of the young master."
Hearing that, Jillian's face suddenly turned solemn and looked at the man fiercely. "What is the aning of this? Why did you have the advance watch of my brother?"
The man imdiately felt that intense pressure that she was giving the mont she looked at him like that. He actually wanted to take a couple of steps backwards but he discovered that he couldn't move his entire body. What's more, he could also feel that Shaun was looking at him very fiercely.
Realizing his current situation, the man imdiately used all of his strength to talk stutteringly. "P-Please d-don't misunderstand. Da-that guy j-just… give… t-this watch at … a-and tell … t-to give it to a girl n-nad Jillian… w-who… i-is going… t-to look for him."
"H-He... even said... Da-that you need to open it... s-since he left a ssage for you," added by the man as he used all of his remaining strength.
Jillian didn't imdiately believe him, but she quickly took the advance watch from Shaun's hands before putting her thumb on its screen. A mont later, the advance watch imdiately responded.
"Authentication Confird. Loading the special ssage."
Then a virtual screen suddenly flashed in front of her and showed Molton with a lowered head while putting his hand together. Seconds later, the video started playing.
"I am sorry, Sis! But can you go back ho without for now? I think I am going to play on the outside a little more. And if you receive this ssage, that ans I already left this building. I am really sorry~!"
After that, the video ssage ended.
On the other hand, Jillian was currently looking at the blank screen with a weird expression on her face.; she couldn't believe that her obedient twin brother would suddenly do sothing like this. 'Since when did this guy beco so rebellious?'
