The Tower's First Level (3)

Ed and the rest made their way towards the centre of the city. There, stood a large tower. They could tell this tower was so big, it took up half the city. This was because they could not see it's sides but could only look up. There was no one guarding the doors, allowing all to enter and leave as they liked. But Ed could guess that only those who have taken the library's test can even dare approach.

They walked in without much people even sparing them a glance.

"Buy your fights! Buy your fights!" a boy said from behind a counter, but many just walked past him. When he saw Ed's company arrive, his eyes sparkled and called for them.

"Hey, newcomers! Come and buy a fight! No fight, no rising up the tower!" he said. Nti Anem approached him curiously.

"Explain. How does one get to the top and what are the rules?" he asked.

"The top? Isn't that a bit too soon? Just worry about winning a fight first." the boy said.
