Yeon was not perfectly reasonable. Viole could pick at most 7 teammates, the others would all fail. They would not be happy. Even his teammates would then be hunted down as enemies of Zahard. The Tower, like life, is unfair, and Viole has simply grown up enough to realize that. Perhaps he believes that by killing Zahard he can end the current system of the Tower and start up a more fair one.Interesting game. I love the way this is set up. With the focus being on trust more than anything else.
And, god, Baam is being such a dick right now. Yeon was being perfectly reasonable but his response was essentially "The only people who can be happy are the ones I say can, so the rest of you should go die!" WTF?!
I keep hoping there is some brilliant alternate meaning to his selfish/dickish attitude. Like he's trying to push people away because if they walk beside him they will get hurt or something. But it's getting harder to believe that every chapter.
Is it possible that the answer is much simpler and Baam just turned into a colossal A-hole?
In refusing to adhere to the rules and pick teammates Baam literally created the need for this test. Whether he wanted teammates or not, he could have just taken them and abandoned them on the next floor but for whatever reason he won't. Meaning everything bad that happens during this is at least partially his fault.Yeon was not perfectly reasonable. Viole could pick at most 7 teammates, the others would all fail.

There would have been more tests irregardless of Viole's decision. Just because they would avoid this particular test is meaningless; they will face hundreds more tests before they reach the top. Everyone there has their own reasons for climbing the tower. As Viole said, not everyone can be happy. You may think it's his responsibility to carry everyone there to the top of the Tower, but he clearly has his own goals. You may remember that he once tried to help someone climb the tower, someone that he had an incredibly deep friendship with, and that person tried to kill him. Before that, another person he thought was his friend took his friend hostage and then crippled her. He knew those people well and they betrayed him, and he doesn't even know the people he's currently with. He clearly learned an extremely valuable lesson, and it only took him 2 brushes with death. You might want to go back and read where Androssi clearly outlined for him how the Tower works, back in Hide-and-Seek. Watching Baam get stabbed in the back again because he was trying to help others climb the Tower would essentially be a repeat of Part 1, and would completely undo any sort of character development he acquired.In refusing to adhere to the rules and pick teammates Baam literally created the need for this test.

Sure the people with him might be at risk but as things stand he's putting everybody at risk because he prefers to go solo.
Which is exactly what Yoen told him. He could end this whole thing right now by just by picking 7 people. The only reason they will be fighting here is because Baam is intent on going on alone. Might people die by going along with him? Sure, but Wangan is going to die if he fails and who know about the others' situations. Which Baam might know if he wasn't ignoring the plight of others and focusing only on himself and his goals. That isn't "grown up" that's just selfish.
Even if going along with him is a death sentence, he could have just told them that and see who still wants to come.
Your missing the point.There would have been more tests irregardless of Viole's decision.
