Outside the Heaven Reaching Trial Tower, the dark-gold lettering on the black stone monument slowly stabilized.
[First Place: Zich Grave, Fifth Floor.]
[Fourth Floor Trial Evaluation: SSS.]
The plaza fell silent for a moment before breaking into fierce discussion.
Every challenger was inside an independent trial space, and the trials encountered on each floor were not fixed. Because of this, no one outside knew what Zich had just experienced, much less what method he had used to obtain an SSS evaluation.
The only thing they could confirm was that Zich had already entered the Fifth Floor ahead of everyone else.
A recorder from the Players Association immediately noted the exact moment the monument changed. Yet only eleven minutes and forty-seven seconds later, the golden light that had barely faded appeared once more.
[First Place: Zich Grave, Sixth Floor.]
[Fifth Floor Trial Evaluation: SSS.]
"Eleven minutes and forty-seven seconds."
