Part 4 Feel the Power!

Tower of God 1st floor.

Heodon's test to climb to the next floor.

Baam made the decision to start climbing for two reasons: to return Ichigo's body and to make even more friends.

Since he met Ichigo, there have been changes in his life that he never even dreamed of. He learned a lot of new and interesting things. Ichigo for him was not just a voice in his head, he became the closest person to him, so he owes him for everything he did for him. Returning the body for Ichigo so that he can live again is what he wanted to do for him. This is what Baam has to do to thank Ichigo for everything he has done for him.

- Let's start! , - Baam said, and then suddenly he saw a figure, or rather a shoe, which flew right into his face, throwing him 2 meters back.

"Ay," Baam said, grimacing at the minor damage and looking at the culprit of this action, or rather the culprit.

In front of him stood a girl a head taller than him.

Baam doesn't know how to discern beauty, but Ichigo in his inner world would say she's beautiful.

It was a girl in her 20s with black hair that was tied in a ponytail with a defiant red bow, and bright red eyes that looked Baam up and down.

"For a chosen one, you are pretty good, ordinary chosen ones like you would have flown 50 meters from my blow that hit you in the face," the girl said, approaching Baam, who was still sitting on the fifth point, moved closer to him and smiled, " Of course you're not just a chosen one, right illegal.

Baam, like Ichigo, who heard everything, did not understand a word of what the girl said.

- What? Baam, like Ichigo tilted his head.

"MISS YURI, WAIT!" shouted a voice in the distance, and out of the darkness of the corridor ran a man shorter than Yuuri by a head in gray expeditionary clothes and a large

backpack on the back. He had gray hair and gray eyes. "Don't you see, he didn't even understand a word of what you said.

After these words, the gray-haired man pulled out a black sphere from his backpack and handed it to Baam. The sphere turned into a yellow mass of energy, which began to merge with Baam, to which he was frightened by closing his eyes, but everything quickly ended.

"Hey, me," Baam examined himself.

Now, do you understand us? the grey-haired man asked Baam, to which he nodded and looked at the orb in front of him. "This is a special watch, you can't survive in the Tower without it, it not only shows the time, but also translates many languages. Now look at them and say stealth mode.

After saying this, Baam looked at his watch and said:

- Invisible mode - and the ball disappeared.

Flip!

The ball was gone, and Baam got scared.

"Don't be so scared, if you want to see him again, just say visible mode," after these words, a tall girl pushed him aside.

"I'm not mistaken, you're illegal!" the girl said excitedly.

- Illegal? Baam asked.

— The stranger that himself opened the gate and entered the tower. True, you are too weak for the illegal," the girl said, looking Baam in the eyes.

"Yuuri-sama, why would we mess with the illegal?" the grey-eyed man asked plaintively.

"So you don't care if his steel eel eats him alive, but Evan?" Yuuri asked in response.

"If the Tower King His Majesty Zahard finds out that you are here, then even you," Heodon reminded of his presence, "Princess Zahard will be executed."

After the last sentence, everyone tensed up.

Yes, but only if you tell him yourself! Yuuri answered bravely.

"As a Guardian, I have a duty to maintain order in the Tower and serve the Royal Family, so I just do my job, testing everyone on my floor." Yuuri and Evan relaxed after saying that.

"Then why is the test unfair?" Yuuri announced.

"Dishonest, but didn't you forget that it is illegal," Heodon pointed his staff at Baam.

"As a guide, do you sense a hidden power in him, Evan?" Yuuri asked Evan.

"No, but he looks agile," Evan replied.

"Well, even you think so, he's so frail and young, too," Yuuri said, tapping her finger on Baam's forehead, who doesn't resist, but then Yuuri put her finger on his lips. "He's pretty cute, though.

After that, Baam didn't know what to say, and Ichigo continued to digest the information.

Tower King Zahard.

Princess!

What a fucking fairy tale!

We return to the real world.

"Maybe you can lower the difficulty of the test, dear Heodon?" Yuuri asked sweetly.

"Actually, I'm the keeper of the Tower, and it's up to me to decide what it will be for him," Heodon announced, standing his ground.

"No need Yuuri-sama, I thank you, but I can handle this test." Baam said as he walked around Yuuri and stood in front of the aquarium, Yuuri staring at him with mixed emotions.

"You really don't even know the standard climbing rules, let alone the politics of the Tower, are you really ready for this?" Yuuri asked, to which Baam replied:

"Better that than giving up right away!"

Yuuri just sighed helplessly.

"If you're so worried about him, then why don't you lend him the Black March!" - after these words, Yuuri surprisingly raised her eyebrows, and Evan immediately began to protest, - the legendary blade of Zahard, capable of becoming both an all-destroying blade and a lead block.

"Don't even think about it, only Princess Zaharda is allowed to use the Black March if they find out that you…" but he was interrupted.

"Inventory, visible mode," Yuuri said as a tray of various weapons appeared in front of her. From it, she pulled out a black blade and approached Baam with it, who had been looking at all this from the very beginning.

Yuuri held out her hand with the blade to Baam, to which he was surprised.

"You're cute, so I'll lend it to you," Yuuri said, and Evan sighed in defeat.

"Baam, take it," Ichigo said to Baam, who was looking at the blade in front of him, "we don't know what awaits us, so it's better to play it safe."

"Are you really going to borrow it?" Baam asked Yuuri, to which Yuuri smiled.

"You want to conquer the tower, don't you?" she asked Baam, to which he nodded. "My advice, take it while you can, that's the rule I followed when conquering this tower.

"Then, as soon as I finish the test, I'll return it to you right away," Baam said honestly.

Baam didn't think twice and took the Black March in one hand while Tensa Zangetsu was still in the other.

VRIM!

A strange reaction passed between Baam's hand contract and Black March, but no one noticed anything, not even Ichigo. After receiving the second blade, Baam went inside the aquarium cage.

As Baam entered the cage, Evan approached Yuuri.

"Yuri-sama," he said to Yuuri, who was looking at Baam's back, "you fell in love with him from the first… GHA!" A blow to the head makes him stop.

"Shut up, I just don't like a boring life, and with him in the tower it will only be more fun," she said with a smile, and let go of Evan's head.

"So you believe that an illegal can change the tower," Evan asked Yuuri, but Yuuri did not answer and focused on Baam.

While Baam was entering the cage, Ichigo started talking to him.

"It's strange, those guys who helped us are incredibly strong, and the rabbit is ten times stronger than them," Ichigo says warily as Baam listens to him.

"Baam, I have an idea how to defeat this monster, but you should focus on Tensa Zangetsu, so put Black March behind your back," Baam was already in a cage filled with a country of substances and put Black March behind his back and haori grew black ribbons from his back and fastened the Black March on the boy's back.

Observers of the test were surprised at this turn of events.

What is he doing? Black March will be much more useful than a regular blade," Evan said, commenting on Baam's actions.

- And what makes you think that the blade in his right hand is ordinary? Heodon asked with a laugh, and a pair of eyes looked at him in surprise.

— Baam.

Baam took Tensa Zangetsu in two hands and stood up.

"Feel the same feeling as when you took the black ribbon.

After saying that, Baam tried to remember this feeling, and black and red threads of energy began to come out of his body.

"Hey, I didn't even feel any power in him, not Shinsu, nothing," Yuuri said in shock.

Evan just watched silently. And Heodon smiled. All this time, the steel eel did not notice any changes, until he saw how black energy began to spin around the boy who entered the cage.

RRAA!

Steel Eel swam towards Baam. Baam himself was completely focused on the blade and the feeling of power within it. And then Baam saw memories, but not his own ... Ichigo stood covered in blood and sweat in front of a blue-haired opponent in white clothes. But then Ichigo raised his hands with a sword in his hand and in an instant swung his blade shouting:

— GETSUGA TENSHOOOOO!!!

A wave of crimson energy engulfed the arancar. Baam opened his eyes and looked directly at the steel eel that was already 20 meters away from him.

— GETSUGA!

Baam raised his blade, and its tip was covered with black-red energy

— TENSHOOOOO!!!

WAVE!

The dense energy of crimson color completely absorbed the steel eel, sending it into the wall of the aquarium cage.

BOOM!

The energy continued to flow and dissipated over time.

During all this action, the water that filled the aquarium completely disappeared, as if evaporated, and the steelhead itself was torn into many large pieces.

The orb that Baam was supposed to destroy has completely disappeared.

Yuri and Evan mouths were almost on the floor, and Heodon couldn't help his evil smile.

"Change Coming"

1st floor of the Tower of God.

The test of Heodon.

Passed.
