The situation featured three huge problems.
First, while Liam could use his perception to gauge the buildings' power and the rewards they could warrant, he had no way of controlling the trials' nature.
Even in the face of something outside Liam's expertise, he believed he could break the trial and face its punishment instead. Fighting was the most straightforward solution after all, and doing so would also improve the reward.
Nevertheless, that was when the second problem stepped in. Liam had no interest in hoarding rank 1 rewards. He would consider that if he were alone and had time, but that wasn't his predicament, and he had already seen what the punishments for trials tuned for his relative level could consist of.
Liam was willing to face level three magical beasts if that earned him rank 3 assets. Yet, he would likely get heavily injured every time, demanding long recoveries.
