Arena, Alien hunting

Screen switched again.

[Characteristics of Lycanslope

1. Werewolves.

2. Group action.

3. Has comparable intelligence to humans.

4. It can transform into a human, and while transforming, it speaks human language.]

Another collective action monster.

In a strange forest, I experienced how difficult it is to be chased by a group familiar with it in the second round.

“Lycanslope is much stronger than the Red Ape and has the same sense and hearing as a wolf, so it will be more difficult than the second time. ”

‘Hnng.’

The same sense and hearing as a wolf. This means you are a faster and more ruthless tracker than Red Ape.

“Of course, you've won because you've gotten stronger, but you have one weakness. ”

“You mean the comet? ”

I told you.

“That's right.”

The flinching comet lowers its head. I patted her on the shoulder. We are not pointing out to persecute, but to realistically find our weaknesses and security measures.

“Lee Hye-soo has acquired a Stamina Calibration Beginner Level 1 of 150 karma to reinforce the most problematic stamina shortages, and is training on basic movement attributes for longswords. ”

Cha Ji-hye continued.

“But it's still true that you're weaker than the rest of your team, and if you don't contribute to the exam, you'll lose as much karma as you can, which repeats the cycle of evil as the difference in skill becomes. ”

“I don't think I can help it, but is there anything you can do? ”

I asked.

Cha Ji-hye nodded.

“Can you hand over the full-length magic rifle Kim Hyunho has to Lee Hye-soo? ”

“Magic Rifle to the Beneficiary? You're gonna make me fight you with a gun? ”

“No, to get the magic rifle back to Karma. ”

Refund?!

“Is that possible? ”

“The skill is not available, but the item can be refunded in half of Carma. The battlefield magic rifle is 100 karma. If you get a refund, you get 50 karma. ”

Cha Ji-hye explained:

Karma now has 50.

And after I hand over my full-length magic rifle, I get an extra 50 karma back.

This is a 100-camara strategy to increase their contribution by purchasing the items they need.

“Essential items? ”

“It's called an item bag. ”

Cha Ji-hye manipulated the remote control. Projector screen switched.

[Item Bag (Small).

Size: 32 × 22 × 8

Material: Enchanted Leather

Function: Allows you to accept items that have not been items to pass through the door of the test.

Price: 100 Carma]

“I take the medicine here and the ammunition for Kim Hyun-ho to the arena. If Lee Hye-soo is a medic, he can contribute enough to the team. ”

So this is it!

* * *

Preparation for the third trial went smoothly.

Kangcheongsung was issued a new identity, but still trained autonomously in the lab.

Junho was trained by the Spear Instructor to use his javelin with his shield.

The most difficult exercise was the comet. I had to do a double sword and first aid.

In the case of swordsmanship, three vertical cuts, transverse cuts and stabs were killed to be used for a single use and cooked in the body.

On the other hand, I sweated to learn how to use medicines and first aid.

“He's going to collapse before the exam day. Shouldn't you lower your training strength a little to control your condition? ”

“I don't need it. ”

“Yes?”

Cha Ji-hye was so determined that I was embarrassed.

“There's no need to adjust your condition. I like the brute force that hurts my body. Your body will recover to its best state when you pass the test anyway. ”

“Ah!”

You've come up with a training plan with that in mind. It was not a national institution for no reason.

“But what do I do? ”

“ ……. ”

Suddenly, she is silent.

“Shall we practice delivering ammunition to Sylph? ”

“ ……. ”

“Oh, you can practice counting bullets next to Sylph when he fires. Or are you practicing picking up shells? ”

“Joe, good. Would you like to learn how to fight? ”

“Fighter?”

“You won't learn much from Seal in a short time, but at least sparring will help you fight Lycans Rope. ”

“That's great. ”

Cha Ji-hye took me to the training ground on the fourth floor below the lab.

A space as vast as a five-story basement firing range was filled with all kinds of fitness equipment. There were several boxing rings in the center.

“What a facility. ”

“It's generally a training ground for highly fit researchers, so it's a good facility. ”

“But there's no one here. ”

“ ……. ”

“I've been meaning to ask you, how many people have signed contracts at the Arena Research Institute in South Korea? ”

“Kim Hyun-ho's team is 67 people. ”

“67?! ”

I was surprised by more than I thought.

“There are a lot of world rankers in the top 50, although they are quite a few. ”

“World Ranker? What's that?”

I became a curious face. What do you mean, a world ranker? You think they're gonna fight each other? That can't be right.

“We've calculated the rankings by comparing the total Karma obtained in the exam. There are no testers who want to reveal what weapons they have and what skills they have acquired, but it doesn't matter if they simply disclose the sum converted to Karma. ”

“Is that verifiable? ”

“Verification is not possible. No specific information about the investigator will be disclosed by your institution. ”

“Then you can trick them into raising their rank. ”

“I do, but not much of it. Their total karma will be publicly available at your institution, but only if you rank them higher than they actually do. ”

“Ah……. ”

“Plus, if you're ranked that high, other institutions are just trying to get Tom pregnant and take him to higher salaries. ”

“Can an investigator deceive even his own institution to increase his body value? ”

“It's almost impossible to cheat. You can see what skill level you have and what items you have by observing. ”

If you bluff, researchers will get a quote if you observe and analyze it closely.

But I suddenly have a question.

What if it's the other way around?

You can hide your skills, right? ’

For example, I obtained 900 karma in the exam, which is called 700 karma, and I use 200 karma for something else. That's how you boost your strength in secret.

It hides its true power in case of one.

... Have I read too many nonconformities?

It was a childish idea, but it wasn't such a bad idea.

Even though the South Korean Arena Institute was a national institution, it was not 100% reliable. We don't know what will happen if the regime is replaced and the person in charge is changed.

I can't completely trust it, but it might be dangerous to show everything about me.

‘I have to think about it. ’

“Come up, please. ”

"Huh?

Then I woke up and looked at Cha Ji-hye, and she was on the ring. With open finger gloves on both hands at UFC.

“Huh?"

“Come up with your gloves on. ”

“What are you doing? ”

“Sparring.”

“No, what about the instructor? ”

“It's me.”

“ ……. ”

There was silence for a while.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“I'm an ex-man and I've been strengthened by my stamina correction... ”

“Oh, is that what this is about? ”

Cha Ji-hye nodded as if he had only understood.

“Where did you come from? ”

“… the third magazine window. ”

“Rear supply. I was in the Ranger Special Forces for seven years, and Muay Thai had been there since I was a kid. ”

“ ……. ”

I'm sorry to be so blunt.

I put on my openfinger gloves and climbed into the ring.

“Then let's get started. ”

“Oh, no, this is great. Teach me something... ”

“Raise the guard. ”

Uh, thanks for the good stuff. That way even beginners can box well.

I put up the guard as I watched the incoming wisdom as I walked through the footwork.

Phew!

Oh, there's a kick. Boxing was mistaken.

* * *

It felt like wheat grass.

I was surprised that it didn't hurt more than I thought when Low Kick hit my leg.

When you simply dodge the flying left jab, you realize that the target is a woman. A woman is inevitably slower and weaker than a man.

‘What, it's nothing. ’

Relieved, I reach for the punch as the lift jab slowly flies back, avoiding and counteracting.

… and she slapped the counter with a light hook like she was waiting. A twitchy combination of lefts, lights and high kicks for me!

It was only after I was beaten so fiercely that I realized that Cha Ji-hye was very strong.

Pretending to be weak, being careless, and beating the crap out of you!

“Lycans Rope will be twice as fast as me. ”

“Hnng!”

I stand up touching my chin.

“Why does it hurt so much when I got hit? ”

“If you hit the counter like that, no matter how strong it is, it's down. ”

“You knew that and you beat him to a pulp. Thank you."

“I'll continue.”

She continued to move left and right on the footwalk and attacked me.

Definitely the power of stamina correction. Power and agility were superior to her. You dodged or blocked a moderate attack with your reflexes.

However, I was unable to concentrate on the sudden rushing combination. You can gaze at it with a jab, you can hit it with a low kick, you can paint it like a punch, and you can do a high kick.

“If you're getting used to it, I'll use my elbow from now on. ”

“Hiic?”

My elbow's still killing me.

Cha Ji-hye punched the left-jab. I raise the guard with my arms, afraid to hit it with my elbows.

But most of all, she was jumping up and down my neck with both hands.

Grrr!

“Eek!”

The sound of dignity and distance came from my mouth. This is what everyone sounds like when they're hit by a nickel.

“Dig, elbow.... ”

“You're much slower than I expected. Like you've never exercised. ”

“All I've ever done is climb. ”

“You don't own a single Taekwondo. ”

“They only give it to me for a week or so in the army. He's got some kind of coupon on him. ”

“ ……. ”

She takes off her gloves.

“No. I'd rather you make a wooden spear like the second time. Never engage Lycans Rope. You have to use a Spirit to control it with a wooden spear and rush it. ”

“Yeah, I get it. ”

I sighed.

At best, my body has become stronger with the Beginner Level 4 of Health Calibration, but it really is a pearl on the pig's neck. The best fit role for me now was to remain silent with the bullet by the firing silf.

* * *

When I returned home, there was no one. I cleaned up the house with silk and summoned a new weapon because I was bored.

“Armed.”

Then the heavy shotgun chaser that you see in your right hand. Lots of old teas, but vintage appeal.

The full-length magic rifle was handed over to the comer along with the ammo revolution, and from now on it was my weapon.

Effective range is 548 meters.

It was an antique so old that it had been used since the time of the enactment of Russia that it was a bit unsettling, but the daytime test fire showed sufficient performance. Silf.

This was used by famous snipers during the Great War.

‘Please take good care of it. ’

I stroked the Moshina River and whispered in my mind.

The remaining time to the next test was 11 days.
