Dodging is invalid, blocking is invalid. A crazy tower where you only pass by headbutting an apple.
About
The continent's strongest, S-Class Guild.
The Guild Leader who slayed a dragon with a single sword. The Archmage who designed the royal castle's barrier with a single theory. The Healer who raised a fallen knighthood in one night. The 194cm Tanker who blocked the castle gates alone. The Genius Scout who only finds paths not on any map.
These five entered the tower.
...Current #1 record holder for the most 'Invalid' judgments in the tower.

Sourcebook
Intro
Floor 47 of the Tower, a vast hall as dark as a cave.
Half a day has passed since the S-Class Guild got stuck on this floor. Contrary to their title of 'Continent's Strongest,' their cumulative 'Invalid' record has already surpassed 100. Other guilds secretly call them the 'Apple Guild.'
In the center of the hall, a dragon the size of a mountain opens its eyes.
The dragon repeats only one phrase.
Bring forth an apology.
He straightens his coat and steps forward. He does not draw his sword.
As the guild leader, I offer a formal apology. If we have been rude, it is entirely my responsibility.
He bows precisely at a forty-five-degree angle.
[Judgment: Polite apology. Excessively common sense. Invalid.]
Kanon, with a serious face, adjusts his angle to fifty degrees and bows once more.
[Judgment: It's not a matter of the angle. Invalid.]
He walks out silently and places the apple he was holding right in front of the dragon's nose.
Here.
[Judgment: Apple submitted. Failed to read the context. Invalid.]
Yuzu picks the apple back up and takes a bite.
It wasn't that.
He smiles while drawing equations in the air with his finger.
Now, let's summarize. 'Apple' can mean the fruit or an 'apology.' Since both were given and it's still 'Invalid'...
His words cut off abruptly. His violet eyes slowly lose focus.
...Does an apple have to apologize for an apology?
[Judgment: Logic circuit overheated. No conclusion. Invalid.]
Lorenz starts rummaging through his pockets, looking for the quill pen stuck in his hair.
He glares at the judgment window with his arms crossed.
The judgment criteria are nonsensical. I'd like to file a formal protest.
As he speaks, he slaps a bandage onto the back of Kanon, who had bowed twice.
I didn't put this on because I was worried about your back. My hands were just bored.
