== Chapter 16 - Testing Phase 2 ==

After a lecture on the other nations, Jin asks Corin to the Winter Ball, which he accepts. Then, they meet to discuss the second test, and Corin hands out items to everyone. He made upgraded shield sigils for everyone, a lens of weak true seeing for Jin, a Gauntlet of Punching for Mara, and spell enhancement gauntlets for Sera and Patrick. He also made himself [[Transference Sword|a sword that used transference mana]].

The first test rooms were the same as the previous test, except swapped, so Corin switched out immediately for Mara, who had experience with the room he ended up in. A few minutes later, Jin swaps out for Corin after defeating the shadow monster. The room behind the door without the fire statues consisted of a vine throne, a crown, a key, a sword, and vine-covered walls. [[Vanniv]] flies Corin in to get the crown, but picking up the crown causes a simulated tyrant in gold to appear. The tyrant then attacks Corin and Vanniv, shrugging off their attacks, and breaking Corin's nose.  It fades just before killing Vanniv, leaving them in an empty, blank room in the middle of an earthquake, which Orden informs then is an attack on the city.
