The seven days came to an end and those that had passed where forcefully teleported to the waiting area but unlike before each challenger was put in their own room.Tawanda was relieved by the isolation since he would no longer have to stay on guard because of the other challengers.He pulled out his note book and began making notes about himself, other challengers and the tutorial itself.
"Enhancing weapons and detecting weapons are the two abilities I have.Other than that I know nothing, I don't know if those are the only things I can do or if there will be more or if I will always have them. I don't know how or why I have them and how it works without using mana"
After writing notes about himself he wrote about others specifically the abilities he had witnessed.
The administrator of the tutorial replayed the recordings of what had happened in the second stage of the tutorial mostly viewing the top five challengers.
"A challenger who has special eyes that can see the hidden, a challenger who can use the spear at an advanced level, a challenger who can create anything she can imagine using ice, a challenger who can make artifacts, enhance their performance, detect weapon attacks yet has no mana and finally a guy who can use space time ability and definitely the son of one of the Twelve Pillars, Dark Tessaract.Five new challengers with rare and unknown abilities with some being connected to the strongest beings of the tower, a new wave is coming"
~'The following day~
"Greetings to the new challengers, you did well in the first two trials and now only one remains, this will be shortest yet most difficult trial.Beyond that door is the where the final trial of the tutorial will be held and there is only goal, survive until the countdown reaches zero, may you get what you deserve"
The large door behind the administrator opened and the challengers proceeded foward.They entered into a large cylindrical enclosure the size of a stadium.The skyline was dark that they could not clearly see above.As soon as Tawanda passed through the door, his heart began to beat fast, he suddenly froze that most people took notice of,
"Those guys might try to attack him but that should not be enough to make him freeze like that in fear considering his skills", said the guy in blue as he looked at Tawanda.Tawanda froze for some seconds then looked up at the dark skyline.,
The blue guy notice Tawanda looking up then looked behind and saw the short girl with special eyes wearing glasses also looking up with the same expression Tawanda had.The ice girl, the spear user and the guy in blue all looked at Tawanda and the girl with special eyes and all five simultaneously prepared for danger.also noticed Tawanda and the girl with specials eyes looking up.Tawanda took a deep breath, put his bag down and took out small but long chains.He looked at his arm and saw the count down for the trial to begin had started.

Tawanda put his iron rods on the floor

He tied the chain on the rods and this further confused the other players who watched him
[3]
He held the iron rods with chains on them tightly, put as much intention of enhancing as possible and with all his might thrust them into the floor.
The lights in the cylindrical enclosure lit up brightly that all parts where fully visible. Everyone's attention went up.
"What is that"
"There's a glass ceiling"
"I think beyond it something huge is rotating"
Most challengers understood what it is Tawanda was trying to do.

Tawanda finished tie the chains to his legs
" What a minute those are blades", said another challenger

The glass ceiling vanished
#As the rupture of the Christian religion would to its chosen people, as if gravity had reversed, as if a straw sucking ants on the ground, a tremendously powerful suction power unexpectedly pulled the challengers upwards.Beofre they could even react most challengers were already five feet in the air.As the suction power pulled everyone Tawanda held on to the iron rods he had thrust into the ground.The ice girl created huge ice claws which grabbed on the floor and where attached to her body, the guy in blue and the girl with special eyes where sucked up and the spear who was closer to the enclosure wall managed to thrust his spear into the wall and hold on.Thousands of challengers ascended upwards at great speed, they twisted, turned and flipped, their weapons ascended with them, swords, spears, axes stabbing and cutting them in the air, they screamed and shouted but it did not matter for their was nothing they could do to stop their ascension .Just below the blades where huge bars that ran end to end of the cylindrical enclosure.
The flying challenges that were ahead first came in contact with the bars.The bodies crushed onto them tiring them apart into halves, the torn apart pieces would further proceeded to the blades which sliced them into mince meat.
The suction power was so great that Tawanda's arms started to loose strenght.He looked at the timer on his arm and saw that only a few seconds had passed.
"My hands are about to give in, Its a good thing I tied the chains to my feet.
Eventually Tawanda's arms where overwhelmed and he let go of the rods which sent him flying upwards but was held back by the chains he had tied to both his legs.Tawanda felt a slight movement of the chains, looked down to confirm what he had felt and saw that one of the rods was slowly getting uprooted.
************"Shit shit shit" said Tawanda as he looked at the rods then at the timer which had five minutes three seconds left.The uprooting increased with each second and Tawanda thought of pulling himself to the rods to further reinforce them but as soon as he began to pull himself against the suction power towards the ground the uprooting of the rods increased even more.
"Shit shit"
The rods uprooted more and more up until one rod completely uprooted which put all the load on the rod left which immediately gave in sending Tawanda upwards.
As Tawanda started accelerating upwards about half of the challengers sucked towards the blades had been shredded to nothing and that is when the glass ceiling suddenly appeared which cut off the suction force of the death blades.Those that were close to getting sliced to nothing were relieved when the glass ceiling appeared but this only brought temporary relief as they soon began to descend down to their obvious deaths.The challengers rained down like hailstorm and crushed on to the ground.Tawanda had only moved up a little and so came back down and landed safely.As soon as he landed he thrust the iron rods even deeper than before that only the part where the chain was tied to was left out.
Just as half of the falling challengers crushed on the ground the glass ceiling vanished again and the suction power resumed with even more power.Some of the challengers that were falling were near to hitting the ground but felt their momentum reduce and movement reversed immediately amd ascended upwards once more.
The ice girl's ice cracked and crumbled but she kept on reinforcing it over and over again.Tawanda looked around him and saw that not many challengers had managed to stay on the ground.Even though Tawanda had thrust deep into the floor, the rods began to slowly get uprooted again.
"Shit shit, it seems the suction power increased, which means it might increase with every turn which would mean eventually the method I'm using will not work at all.I can continue to what Im doing and just hope I will be able to hold on or I can find a another way"
Tawanda looked at the blades thinking of what to do to survive.
"Okay I will do just that", said Tawanda after coming up with an idea.
Tawanda observed the irons rods whilst waiting for the ceiling to reappear.Just as the irons rods were near to uprooting completely the ceiling reappeared and cut of the suction power.As soon as Tawanda landed he quickly joined the two chains then tied the joined chain around his waist.He spread out the chain with iron rods at the end and lay down on the ground.
The ice girl,the spear user and the few challenges on the ground could not understand Tawanda's actions.
Tawanda looked up at the death blades beyond the glass ceiling and took a slow deep breath, held in the air for some seconds then breathed out.He completely calmed down and relaxed his body with his legs and hands spread out.As usual after a certain amount of time the glass ceiling disappeared and the suction power resumed.Tawanda was sucked up at a deadly speed.He remained calm as he ascended upwards alongside the chains tied to his waist.As he got near the bars that where just before the blades he realized that his trajectory was aimed at one of the bars.
"Its never easy, shit"
****************Just as he was about to crush on the large metal bar he twisted himself and avoided the large bar by mere inches.One end of the long chain bounced on the bar but the other wrapped itself around another large metal bar.Tawanda looked at himself fly towards the death blades and just as he thought all was lost the chain that tied itself to the iron bar held him back.The sudden stop shocked his body and knocked him out.
"That guy is crazy", said the blue guy as he looked up at Tawanda from an enclosed blue space and beside him was the short girl with special eyes.The glass ceiling appeared below the large bars and so Tawanda remained held up by the chain close to the blades.
The glass ceiling appeared and disappeared many times with Tawanda unconscious and held by the chain until the timer reached zero.As soon as the timer reached zero the glass ceiling appeared and the blades began to slow down until suction power was low enough that Tawanda dropped down and landed on top of the large metal bar still unconscious.When the timer reached zero the surviving challengers spoke the command words 'First floor', and teleported away.
The guy in blue and the girl with special eyes exited the hidden blue space.
"Can you see him", said the guy in blue asking the girl with special eyes.
"Yes I can see him, he laying on top of the bar but his not moving but I can't tell if he's dead or alive", replied the girl with special eyes.
"The guy in blue tried to use his power but failed," I can't move to beyond the glass ceiling for some reason"
"Its probably because of that ceiling or maybe because the trial is over"
"If he is alive we will eventually meet and if he is dead then thats that"
The two said the command words and moved to the first floor.
Tawanda slowly regained consciousness and the first thing saw where the huge blades that were no longer moving.
"I somehow survived the trial, I wounder if the other top players also survived"
Tawanda rolled to the left so he could see down but to his surprise everyone was already gone
"There must have already left, it seems I was out for some time, I should go as well"
Tawanda rolled back and lay on his back then stretched out his hands and looked at them," I did it, I can enter the first floor of the tower", as he said this whilst looking at his hands he noticed a faint silver aura coming from above beyond the blades.It spread out becoming more visible.
"What is that?"
