#TowerofGod
Tests, there are 2 testing systems within the Tower, the Ancient System or '𝘎𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯'𝘴 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘴' designed for Irregulars and the Current System designed for Regulars.
An Irregular can choose which among the two types of tests they will take.

The Guardian's Tests
Once an Irregular enters the Tower, they are transported to the 1st Floor also known as Headon's Floor. They will be tested by the Guardian/Caretaker of the Tower - Headon. This test would be immensely difficult, used to assess the qualities of the Irregular.

The Guardian's test reflects the "worth of the things" the Irregular wishes to gain from the Tower and in essence, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴.
Ball Test
This is used to test an Irregular's judgmental skill & how well do they know their limits.
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵?
The goal of this test is that the participant must pop the ball guarded by the keeper-a White Steel Eel.

The goal of this test is that the participant must pop the ball guarded by the keeper-a White Steel Eel.
- Both the Ball and Eel are placed in an area with a dense concentration of Shinsu.
There is one way to achieve the test and it is to face the eel head-on, leap into its mouth and not 'avoid' it since it is impossible to avoid the eel, as explained by Evan who is a guide.

Overcoming the fear of death is one of the highlights for this test because climbing the Tower can lead a character to life or death situations and they need to be willing enough to face these challenges.
Evan mentioned that 'even if someone knew the way to achieve the test, they usually wouldn't be able to do something so ridiculous' and further said that Bam had a desire which outweighs the fear of death.
Overcoming the fear of death may be a highlight of this test but the main goal is to pop the ball.
One needs 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 and 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 in order to climb the Tower
𝘋𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴?
Here we see Bam do everything he could in order to break the ball, even if it meant doing something which was thought to be impossible.

Here we see Bam do everything he could in order to break the ball, even if it meant doing something which was thought to be impossible.
Bam was able to ask for strength from the Black March - a sword or '𝘕𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘭𝘦' which is only given and used by a Princess of Jahad. With the Black March, he was able to pop the ball. Thus, passing the test and proceeding to the next floor.
Current Testing System
These tests are created to determine whether the Regular is worthy of proceeding to the next Floor. Generally, the difficulties of these tests increase the higher one climbs. However exceptions like the 2nd Floor, have set the difficulty particularly high.

Tests can be given to the Regulars by either the Guardian of the Floor/the Floor's Ruler (Guardian's proxy).
Each examination is usually coordinated by the Test Director and the Test Administrators under their command since they represent the Floor's Ruler.

2nd Floor of the Tower - Evankhell's Mothership - The Floor of Test.
This is known as a place to find the talented but its true purpose is to maintain the safety of the Tower, through tests that could weed out 'dangerous elements'.
This is why the tests have high difficulty level

Deathmatch Test
-the 1st test on the 2nd Flr. It usually consists of 200-400 Regulars fighting until a certain number are either incapacitated or dead until the time limit expires. The main purpose of this test is to filter through the masses of Regulars sent up by Headon.

A Test Admin may run this test however they see fit, though the objective is always the same.
The second part of the test is to make a team consisting of three Regulars. This is where the remaining Regulars are to each make two teammates and thereby make a team of three within 5 minutes.
-All three must be touching each other as soon as the countdown ends

Lero-Ro's Test - 'culling'
This test is to check the Regulars' resistance to 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙪 - the source of the Tower's power. Leroro explains that they are able to breathe due to Shinsu, all those within the tower use it to fight.

Lero-Ro creates a Shinsu barrier dividing the Regulars and him; those that get through the barrier, pass the test.
However, all three members of the team must pass through the barrier in order to pass - otherwise they would all fail, this highlights the importance of luck

The Shinsu barrier wasn't able to push Bam back.
Note how in the Ball Test, Bam was already exposed to Shinsu... and that test was even difficult for Regulars at the 20th floor (as stated by Princess Yuri Jahad)
He is after all, an Irregular.

This is a test of endurance to Shinsu,
if the Regulars are worthy enough and are chosen to climb the tower.

Door Test - The Red Door

Hansung Yu has planted clues for the Regulars:
1. They only have one chance to open a door
2. If you take longer than 10 mins, the test will be terminated
3. There is a ticking clock placed in the room, numbered 1-10
4. Screams are heard after a team spends more than 5 mins

The 4th hint Hansung Yu has given to the Regulars was with the help of Mr. Neon Plastic Bag
-it was to test whether that clue would hinder the teams from making a decision or help them

Ultimately, the purpose of this test was not to determine whether the hint given was correct or not, but rather who would make a decision and take action.
Hansung Yu highlights:
𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳
You need to have some trust in your companions

Purpose of the Crown Game:
As previously mentioned in this thread, the true purpose for the Floor of Tests (2nd floor) is to maintain the safety of the Tower, through tests that could weed out '𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴'

Hansung Yu, the Test Administrator may have sensed a '𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵' among the current examinees that could possibly harm the tower. Which is why he asked Leroro to conduct the Crown Game
