	~~I'm~~ preparation for his upcoming spire expedition, Corin goes to the Climber's Court, where he talks to Lars and buys a [[return bell]], a flask of endless water, a temperature controlling cloak, and a flameless lantern. Corin then goes to the divinatory, where he finds Jin and meets [[Researcher]]. While there, he searches for information on Vera, and acquires the [[Jaden Box]].

	When they leave, Orden is waiting with Derek (who shows Corin that he is an emerald), not Teft. After talking to Sera, they decide to allow Derek to accompany them. They then go pick up Vera, who Corin convinces to join willingly after they deliver [[Echion]] to a train station. She tells them about her encounter with Tenjin, mentioning that Elora Theis and an emerald level swordsman, who sounds suspiciously like Derek. She also mentions that Echion was very powerful.

He also asks Corin to make him his [[retainer]] so Patrick will have sufficient social standing to ask Sera to the [[winter ball]], which Corin accepts.

	Corin and Vera enter a room with a pillar of ice containing a sword and several sectioned off groups of monsters, including a [[spire guardian]]. Vera kills the non-spire guardian monsters with Corin's dueling cane while Corin assists. When Vera and Corin break the ice pillar, the spire guardian attacks. Corin takes the sword from the pillar, which turns out to be rusted and useless in a fight, and distracts the spire guardian while Vera kills it.

	After Vera has left, the [[The Voice of the Tower]] (from Trials of Judgment) appears, directing Corin to an attunement fountain, where he drinks and sees a vision. The Voice of the Tower then dips his sword in the fountain, transforming it into a magic ice sword, and tells Corin to tell [[Lyras Orden]] that The Voice of the Tower must speak with her. After warning him not to tell anyone what he had seen, it vanishes. Corin then writes his experiences down, fills his flask with water from the fountain, and exits the spire.

	Corin goes to Professor Orden's Office, where she confirms that she was the one who attacked him last night and teleports him to a "secure location" somewhere in a void. They exchange information regarding the events in the tower, then she tells him not to tell anyone about the tower, and he returns to update his friends. After finding that information on Keras Selyrian is restricted, Jin borrows a costume from Corin and steals a [[memory crystal]] from the restricted section of the library. The memory crystal contained an experience of Keras defeating a group of emeralds, including Corin's mother and [[Elora ~~Theis~~]], who tried to arrest him. When he finished viewing the crystal, he writes his mother, returns the crystal, and talks about what he learned with Orden.

Later, he manages to recharge his [[shield sigil]]'s grey mana using his hand's mana. During a class some time later in which [[Professor Edlin]] discusses the various Valian attunements, an alarm goes off, and the students are sent to underground bunkers.

	When Jin doesn't have enough bullets to finish murdering Vera, Corin distracts him before he can finish her off with a dagger. Jin explains that he is from East Edria, but not a spy or a traitor, and that his family is descended from one of the Queen of Dalenos's retainers. He also explains that he is murdering Vera in order to get katashi to carry out his attack because of the potential threat of God-Beast attuned. Corin then fights Jin, explodes Jin's Phoenix Sigil into his chest. Vanniv then knocks Jin out, then un-summons himself. Corin then uses the life gems from the slimes to enchant a rock of regeneration, then uses some of the splattered blood and the [[Jaden Box]] to summon Katashi. Katashi then heals Vera, absorbs her and Orden's memories, and tells Corin that his brother is working with Orden. Before closing off the spire, Katashi heals Sera, turns Corin's [[Brand]] into an [[attunement]], gives Sera ~~His~~ sword [[~~Seris~~]], and teleports Sera, Corin, and Derek to near Keras, who "~~Owes~~" Katashi.

	After telling Keras his story, Corin shares a meal with Keras, who was patrolling the Edrian boarder for Katashi. The next morning, Corin wakes up to a fight between Keras and Derek, which Corin defuses. As they head back, they realize that Sera's condition is bad. Her attunement has changed to something neither Keras nor Derek recognizes, and has no mana, and she can't speak at all. On the train ride back, Corin decides not to attempt to find Jin. They find Patrick and Mara waiting at the spire, and decide that they all will stay at Derek's house. Once there, Derek tells them about how [[Elora ~~Theis~~\|Elora]] attempted to recruit him. That night, he writes the [[The Voice of the Tower]], threatening to expose them. They reply quickly, saying that they were working with Orden, but had a falling out.

	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]].		After a lecture on the other nations, Jin asks Corin to the Winter Ball, which he accepts.

	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.

When Corin calls her out, she explains her role as one of Tenjin's kidnappers and her future plans, and Vera explains that Echion is a test subject with a God-Beast attunement. When the conversation goes south, Corin, Vera, Sera, and Jin flee through a room with a giant spider. After defeating the spider, the next room is full of fire breathing statues. Sera drinks ~~corin~~'s [[Attunement Primer\|mysterious ~~attuement~~ liquid]], starts glowing, gains a massive amount of ice mana, and regains her voice. When checking her mana level, Corin realizes that her attunement has completely changed, but without any increased capacity.

			Orden teleports into the room, attacking immediately. With her massive mana reserves, Sera summons Vanniv and her Wyvern to fight Orden. Unfortunately Orden takes control of the Wyvern. Between Sera, Jin, Vera, Corin, and Vanniv, they have the situation reasonable under control until Derek breaks his way through the door behind them. Corin distracts Derek briefly, then Jin, who is apparently a sunstone, knocks out Orden and puts her under a sleep spell. Derek almost defeats the rest of them until Sera summons [[Seiryu]], although the effort nearly kills her. Seiryu then freezes Derek long enough for Corin to remove the ring, after which Derek faints and Seiryu vanishes. Jin then shoots Vera in the back.

That night, he writes the [[The Voice of the Tower]], threatening to expose them. They reply quickly, saying that they were working with Orden, but had a falling out. The Voice then says that he is Corin's brother, [[Tristan]].
