A Trial By Sphinx is a test where people can get into the Explorer's Club despite not being a member.
History[]
Decades ago, Lord Belgrave invoked the Trial By Sphinx, and an incident occurred that dissuaded anyone from invoking the trial for years.
Riddle of the Sphinx[]
Misako tried to get back in the Explorer's Club while asking Cecil Putnam to get the Storm Amulet. Misako told Cecil that she can enter by invoking the Trial By Sphinx. Cecil warned them but summoned the Sphinx anyways. The Sphinx asked who will answer the riddle, and Wu asked for the riddle.
The Sphinx stated its riddle: "Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die. Who am I?" Cole answered "cake," and one of the torches burned out, and the Sphinx declared it incorrect. Wu attempted "discipline," but another torch burned out. Kai answered "fire," and it was declared correct, with the Sphinx disappearing into the floor.
Trivia[]
- Like Trial-By-Mino, the name of the trial is a reference to the phrase "trial by fire", which means a test of one's abilities to perform well under pressure.
