Arena Chapter 14:

"My name is Kim Hyunho and until recently was studying for the civil employment exam . What are everyone's name?"

I spoke after being in a awkward feeling situation for a while . People we have to at least know each other name don't we?

The cooperative student answered .

"My name is Lee Junho . I'm a freshman at Korea university . "

As expected he was a university student . I was thinking that he looked young but to be really twenty years old . . .

"Lee Hyesoo .  I was a office lady . "

The woman in her twenties' name was Lee Hyesoo . Seeing as how it was past tense she must have quit her job .

The only person left was the thirty year man seeing as Park Gochan introduced himself in the previous fiasco .

"My name is Kang Chunsung . Martial artists . I'm from Shanghai . "

A martial artist from China!

That was when we figured out why Kang Chunsung wasn't afraid of Park Gochan .

Park Gochan's expression became even uglier . If he really attacked he will have gotten himself in a world of hurt .

After the introduction it became awkward again so we just walked .

Occasionally the student Lee Junho and I exchanged a few words .

The office lady Lee Hyesoo occasionally retorted at our conversation but seeing as she was almost raped by Park Gochan, she didn't talk much due to the trauma .

"I'm starting to get thirsty . Is there any water?"

The student Lee Junho spoke .

"I'll have a look . Silpi!"

I summoned Silpi for the first time after the second test started .

-Meow .

Silpi who appeared in empty space rubbed her head against my cheeks .

"What is that?"

Lee Junho who was shocked asked . Lee Hyesoo, Park Gochan, and Kang Chunsung also looked this way . I said this .

"This is the spirit summoning skill I got from karma rewards . This is a wind spirit named Silpi . "

"Spirit summoning skill? Was there something like that in the support skill section?"

"This is a main skill . "

From my words many of them had a big reaction .

"It's a main skill?!"

"You're saying it's a main skill?"

"Main skill?"

 Lee Junho, Park Gochan, and even Kang Chunsung was also surprised .

Kang Chunsung who had really few words asked me .

"How many karma points did you get from the first test?"

"500 karma points . "

" . . . . . !"

A look of surprise appeared in Kang Chunsung . It looks like I got a better score than him .

"Aren't you just bluffing? How did you ever manage to receive 500 karma point?"

Park Gochan started to attack me again with words . My shoulders felt bigger .

"He said that more it was the result of my potential rather than my skills . Anyway from that I earned the spirit summoning skill and gun . If you don't believe me, do you want see it?"

I summoned the magic gun and my bullet carrier . The bullet casing was a lot more bigger due to the extra 100 bullets .

"Impossible . . . . . "

Park Gochan had a face saying that he couldn't believe it .

Get it now? I'm not someone who you can touch easily . I'll pay you back for hitting me .

"Silpi check if there is water nearby . "

-Meow!

Silpi flew quickly away .

While that was happening I asked the others .

"What did you guys get for your karma reward? We need to know that so we can cooperate in our fights later . "

"You are incredible . I only got 270 karma points for my first test . All the main skills that I could learn all cost 400 karma points so I couldn't learn them . "

The cooperative student answered first .

"Because there was no choice I learned from the support skill 'physical enhancement' to level 2 and used the rest of the points on a shield . I'll show you . "

As he said that he summoned a round leather shield . It didn't look like he had a weapon .

"What exactly is physical enhancement?"

Because I didn't have a support skill, being curious I asked .

"It's exactly what it says . It just a skill that enhances your physical strength . The first level makes your body up to the level of a healthy male adult, the second level gives you a good athletic ability . "

Lee Junho feeling embarrassed scratched his head .

"Since my body was originally weak so I first learned up to beginner level 2 . "

Lee Junho may be small but his body looked strong . But that looks like it's thanks to the support skill rather than exercise .

"That's a great skill . My physical ability is pretty bad too . How much karma points did that take?"

"The level 1 cost 100, level 2 cost 150 points . "

It was basically a revolution in his health .

I also had a complex against my body that had nothing to show for it . But if I buy a support skill doesn't that mean I can become buff!

'After this test I better buy it . '

This wasn't a temptation for a great looking body but because your physical condition was extremely important .

"Fuck I only received 250 karma points . Am I really not even good as that guy?"

Park Gochan cursed while complaining . Lee Junho flinched at those words .

"I got physical enhancement up to beginner level three and also received a sword . "

"Level three?"

"Do you think I'm like you guys? My physical ability was already good, you **** . "

'I see . '

Park Gochan already had physical condition that was equivalent to a level two physical enhancement . That's why he could learn level 3 physical enhancement .

'That means if I have a healthy male adult's body then I could start learning from level 2 . '

I learned something useful .

This time it was Lee Hyesoo's turn . Hesitating for a moment she nervously spoke .

"I learned physical enhancement to beginner level 1 . That is all I have, sorry . . . . . "

"That's okay little lady . I said I'll protect you . "

Lee Hyesoo became pale from Park Gochan's perverted words .

-Meow .

Silpi returned with great timing .

"Did you find some water?"

-Meow!

Silpi pointed to left direction and drew in the air a number 293 .

"Thanks, I'll call you again later . "

 We headed in the direction Silpi pointed . While walking I asked Kang Chunsung .

"What did you choose for your reward?"

"400 karma points . I chose aura control level 1 .

400 points . It's  a lower score than me .

I could roughly envision how everyone's fight went on the first test .

The red ape ambushed Kang Chunsung and just like a martial artists would, he dogged and made a mess out of the red ape in his counter .

Anyway that aura control seemed perfect for a martial artist like him

Then Kang Chunsung spoke again .

"It's now at beginner level 4 . "

"What did you say?"

"Even if you don't have karma you can increase your level with training . "

This was a shocking truth .

You can increase your level without karma points just by training!

'Huh, but the time he had for training in aura control should be only 11 days?'

I felt suspicious so I asked Kang Chunsung .

"Did you raise your level by 3 in just 11 days?"

"Aura control had many similarities to my school's fundamentals . I practiced my entire life so it was easier . "

I felt that Kang Chunsung was incredible .

So he basically didn't have aura but had beginner level 4 skills from the beginning!

This was at a level where I didn't think he was a candidate that just finished his first test . I really wanted to see how strong he was .

Anyway I could roughly see how we can fight in my mind .

I shoot my gun from a distance, the three men stands at the front and protect Lee Hyesoo .

'In the end Lee Hyesoo is the problem . She doesn't have anything other than beginner level 1 physical enhancement . At least she had a healthy body comparable to a adult male so she should be roughly the same as me or better maybe?'

Lee Junho also only had a shield . He needed to acquire a weapon .

'If we cut down a tree and make two spears it should be somewhat usable right?'

If the enemy we have to fight are the red apes as I predict it to be, then it will be quite effective .

"How long have we walked?"

We arrived at a flowing stream .

A rabbit that was drinking water started running away .

"Silpi!:

- Meow?

Silpi was summoned .

"Catch the rabbit!"

- Meow!

Silpi flew towards the rabbit that hid itself in the bushes .

Soon after, Silpi returned holding the rabbit's back legs in her mouth . The rabbit struggled to get free from Silpi who was floating in empty space .

I first grabbed the rabbit by the ear and asked Silpi .

"Can you make the wind sharp as a knife and cut the rabbit's head?"

- Meow .

Silpi nodded her head .

I grabbed the rabbit and went towards the stream . I lifted the rabbit on top of the stream and spoke to Silpi .

"Do it . "

- Meow!

Silpi cut the rabbit's head with wind sharp as a knife .

Shik!

From the rabbit's head blood flowed out . The stream was now full of blood .

After losing it's life, the rabbit went limp . I grabbed his back legs and turned it upside down to let all the blood drain out .

"That's pretty handy!"

Park Gochan said lightly, impressed .

It's good up to their but he says some unnecessary things .

"From now you be in charge of food . "

My face becomes ugly .

'Why is that **** giving orders huh?'

I even have some anger from being hit by Park Gochan . If I could I would have cut that bastard's head off too .

'Let's leave him alone for now . '

I was boiling inside .
