Wangnan Ja succeeded after many tries in the first test of the 20th floor, but that also was out of pure luck, however, in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2, where monstrous talent like Baam is shown to exist, further progress could prove difficult.
Previously in Tower Of God season 2 episode 1, we see a contender Wangnan Ja who challenges the 20th floor of the Tower Of God again and again with no avail to the point he loaned a large amount of money for an exam fee from loan sharks and had to put his organs as collateral.
He gets acquainted with a kind delivery boy, who roots for him in his upcoming test for the 20th floor.
On the day of the exam he kept on meeting tough contenders, among them was a mysterious man, we could easily assume he was Baam, as the memory flashback of his was that of Baam’s, a burly man, a sly man.
There was also a little girl whom Wangnan couldn’t bear to fight and one seemingly weak woman named Goseng.
Wangnan chose the easiest way of not fighting, and lucky him, those tough contenders didn’t show any sign of fighting until the sly man showed up and decided to kick out that weak-looking woman and little girl.
Baam took action and decided to kick everyone out, and started to attack and subdue that burly man and that sly-looking man altogether, and next aimed Wangnan, but Wangnan’s resolve reminded him of his past friends, so he became distracted and was wounded by the surprise attack of Wangnan.
However, that attack’s damage recovered quickly as Baam had regeneration ability, which he didn’t have in season 1.
But he couldn’t attack as the test time was up, and Wangnan Ja was saved, and qualified for the stage of the test.
As for, what happens next, to know that, we have to keep an eye on Tower Of God season 2 episode 2.

Atmosphere Before The Start Of Next Stage
Wangnan Ja with the team he qualified with was waiting for the next segment of the test, this was the beginning of the Tower Of God season 2 episode 2, however, the mood was tense only for Wangnan.
Wangnan was planning to take on whoever came and was hoping for them to come one by one so all 5 of them could take on them, not thinking that, that person could be as strong as Baam.
The small girl whose name we learn in this episode is Minseng and the woman accompanying him named Goseng worry-free about what is to come, despite seemingly not being all that strong, Minseng was distributing snacks to others additional to that(not that sly guy who asked them to leave upon arrival at the first stage of test, of course).
On the other hand, Baam was reminiscing about his past with Rachel, where she told him a story about a man who longed for Star so much that he built a tower to be with Star, however, according to Baam he must have been lonely, since he was alone in such a high place.
Baam somehow could understand that man’s mindset now, that he is also trying to climb the tower alone.
Next Stage Of Test In Tower Of God Season 2 Episode 2
The previous test was about surviving 30 min, survivors of which test in the location in which Wangnan was, was 6.
However, there are many other locations where the same test was being held, and many other qualifiers were being selected.
So after waiting for the next stage to start, all other qualifiers finally appeared.
However, there were some familiar faces included there, inducing both good and bad memories for Wnagnan.
Remember that food delivery boy, who cheered for Wangnan’s success in the test in Tower Of God season 2 episode 1, that boy shows up in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2 again.
Wangnan didn’t leave the chance to brag about him being that boy’s role model to others in his team.
So Wangnan-like approach.
Except for him, there are other trauma-inducing characters for Wangnan in Tower Of God season 2 episode 1, who also show up in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2, like the loan shark and the female contender named Yihwa in Wangnan’s previous failed try in the test, which failed for that contender’s friendly fire.
That friendly-fire contender was of a renowned family that belonged to the ten great families who climbed the tower, the name of that family was Yeon family.
That contender also had a frightening codename, The Yeon Family’s Flamethrower.
We also learned the name of the loan shark executive here, Kim.
Other interesting characters were present at the venue, like the company owner’s son, from which company Wangnan loaned money as a test fee.
That guy was a total scum, using only his father’s wealth and buying help or bribing the examiners, he rose to the 20th floor, his name was Prince.
Prince’s greatest helps were, the codename Devil of the Right Arm, and Yihwa The Yeon Family’s Flamethrower since that woman loaned a large sum of money from his father’s company.
Since we learned all there is to know about the important contenders, let’s move on with the exam as the examiner Love describes the details of the examination procedure.
The process was simple and risk-free.
It was a process of measuring one’s physical strength by using Shinsu(Water of God), which is the source of every power, that exists in the tower.
The result will be displayed by point and ranking on a screen if one strengthens one’s body using Shinsui and touches the measuring device, and only 8 persons will be selected in this test who will progress further.
Result Of the Test
The next stage in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2 is the second half of the exam itself.
The exam starts with the most unmatched contender in the process, Wangnan, which resulted in the utter defeat.
The result was, Minseng 11th, Goseng 12th, and Wangnan 10th, so there was no hope for him to get in the selected 8.
There was an interesting turn of events, the scum of a son of the loan shark company, Prince, decided on a bet, in which he declared to give Yihwa to the first-place owner, which also means Yihwa could be free if she win first place.
Remember that burly guy from episode 1, he goes next, and scores 6350pt and his name shows in the info screen, Horyang Kang, but Devil of the Right Arm soon broke his score by scoring 11988pt revealing his name in the info screen as Robdevil.
However, in the bet, that would be counted as that loanshark’s son’s score since Robdevil is hired by him.
Next was Yihwa’a turn to earn her freedom, but while she initiated a full swing to punch the measuring device, by accident, she planted her face in there, worthy of her name, friendly fire, but despite that scored a whopping 22384pt.
However, in this world, most of the time, those who use underhanded tricks gain the most, and that also was the case with Prince, since he probably bribed the examiner, when he used his lackey’s power to score a whopping 25521pt the examiner looked the other way.
However, in front of absolute and raw power, mare trickery can’t gain a foothold, and everybody has yet to see such a spectacle until Baam gets up and progresses to take the test.
His test result came out as the highest of all, 134769pt making him the first place holder.
Conflict Among Contenders
The test seemed to be finished in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2 at this stage.
However, here comes the twist for whoever was thinking they were selected as the remaining 7 members of the total 8 members who would take the next part of the exam, nobody except Baam was selected, and it fell upon him to select the remaining 7 members to take the next part of the test with him.
This was an unexpected chance for Wangnan, so he forgot about his fleeting pride and tried to sell his talent pathetically, this may be the most pathetic side of Wangnan shown in the entire Tower Of God season 2 episode 2.
Horyang Kang, that sly-looking dude, even Minseng was pleading for participation.
Yihwa was also trying to be accepted as one of the 7 members of Baam’s team.
A mess was going on in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2 at this stage, nobody was listening to Baam’s piece and was quarreling among themselves, but when they gave a chance to Baam to speak, he declared the unexpected, that he wouldn’t choose anyone, he alone is enough for the next stage.
His reason was, that nobody was capable enough to support him even stand next to him, but Yihwa had another opinion.
According to Yihwa, he was showing off by wearing his fake FUG uniform, but what she didn’t know was that he was the real deal, he declared that by revealing his name as Jue Viole Grace( so this is the name Baam is going by now), and his post in FUG, which was Slayer Candidate.
As we learned in the previous episode, his organization fights against Jahad’s royal family, Slayer Candidates have a special mission of killing Jahad and his family also making him an enemy of ten great families.
Finally
However, the rule is absolute in the tower, the examiner proposed a deal to Viole(we will call Baam by this name from now on), which was if Viola could beat the examiner in a game, then his appeal would be granted, if not, he has to go with the rule. As the immediate problem was resolved in Tower Of God season 2 episode 2 at this stage, it was time, to put the plan into action.
Since it would take a long time to prepare for the game, all the contenders were told to wait in some waiting room, in the meantime.
Wangnan and that delivery boy shared a room.
But most of the unlikely pair, who shared a room were Yihwa and Viole, and Yihwa also misunderstood him as female and asked to go for a bath together, the funniest part was, in front of the bathroom, when Viole split up and went to Male bathroom making Yihwa speechless.
There is also one unexpected mystery that came to be.
Wangnan seemed to have lost a prized ring of his, which Viole found and recognized as a ring symbolizing Jahad, but unexpectedly didn’t take any action against Wangnan!!
On the other hand, the examiner was brewing a scheme to eliminate Viole!!
What will happen with Viole in the game with the examiner?
To know the answer to this question, stay tuned for the next episode…
