Arena, Alien hunting

“Level five?”

I was shocked at Cha Jin-hyuk's face.

“Isn't that a lie? ”

Maintenance straight.

“Common sense is that the second time investigator obtained enough karma to raise his main skill to beginner level 5……. ”

It was an unbelievable reaction to Izzie's good use.

However, Kangcheong only smiled and did not seem to have any intention of explaining whether it was misunderstood or not. Eventually, I had to step up and explain.

“You were that good a martial artist? ”

Cha Jin-hyuk's eyes changed provocatively.

“I want to see what you're made of. What do you think, martial artist? Warm up lightly before the test, Cole? ”

“Whatever.”

Kangcheon Seong gladly responded. He was not at all frightened of the 19 th veteran examiner.

“Is it going to be okay?"

I was worried about the comet and asked me. I nodded.

“If you don't die, it doesn't matter. Everything heals when I pass the exam door. I've never worn a battle suit or anything like that before, so it's literally okay to warm up. ”

The two of them got up from their seats and came out into an empty space in the waiting room.

Cha Jinhyeok also holds two fists against the nature of the pose and poses as a boxing pose. He doesn't have a weapon, either?

“I have a question. ”

“What is it?”

“Chinese martial arts is like dancing in a blossom, right? Does that help in real life? ”

Cha Jin-hyuk's eyes twitched.

“I'll show you.”

Kangcheon City slowly narrows its streets by moving only its feet. It was a way to move forward slightly using your heels and toes as an axis and grab the target.

When he reached punch street, Cha Jinhyuk lightly reached out his jab. By the way,

Pa!

“ ……! ”

At the counter timing of that jab, the storm surged in.

Immediately, a narrow stream of thunderstorms pours down the punch.

Papa Papa Pa Pa!

A thunderstorm of punches blew over the guard of Cha Jinhyuk.

Incredible speed. After punch baptism, Cha Jinhyuk fixes the guard and blocks it, then counters with a nickel. At that moment,

Pa!

Kangcheon Castle swirled 360 degrees while keeping both feet on the ground. Is that an arm wrench? Anyway, it was subtle.

Phew!

“Hehe!”

After a short nick, Chae Jinhyeok loses his balance and shakes his axial leg. Kangcheon City kicked the bridge once more.

“Oh, shit! You're counting, Chinese martial arts! ”

Cha Jin-hyuk, who suddenly woke up, grumbled.

“Are you going to continue? ”

“What are you talking about? This is just the beginning.”

Cha Jin-hyuk came at me.

But I couldn't even attack properly once, and I got stuck again.

I tried to attack with a light jab, because the jab's counter hit me again at an amazing time.

Phew!

“Hehe!”

He was punched and Cha Jin-hyuk's jaw turned to his side.

Subsequently, Kangcheon City swung its arms like a windmill. His left arm presses his chest, and his right arm grabs his leg and knocks him down.

Kudang!

“Ugh!"

Cha Jinhyuk fell behind his feet again.

Kangcheon said, stepping back, not attacking anymore.

“Enough. It's pointless. ”

“What?”

Sticky Cha Jin-hyuk.

“Kahaha! I fucking invented it! ”

“Shut up!"

Cha Jinhyuk was angry at the cheeky laughter of the retainer.

Gangcheongseong said.

“That's it."

“What, you can win more fights? ”

In response to Cha Jin-hyuk's question, Kang Cheon Sung still answered calmly.

“I win a few times. Unless you draw your sword. ”

In addition to Cha Jin-hyuk, the face of Sustainer and Izzy was surprised.

"I see. Somehow, for the 19th time, I thought I was too weak. ’

No matter how strong it is, 19 veterans would have acquired as many Karma skills as they did. For that, Cha Jin-hyuk was too weak.

It was because he didn't use his weapon.

“Gosh, a fortuneteller. ”

Maintenance was impressed.

“Did you get caught?”

Cha Jin-hyuk scratched his head.

“Don't get me wrong, I'm a rookie. ”

“Haha, you're such a rookie. I'm not a martial artist like you. ”

“He was a mechanic!”

“Shut up.”

It was Cha Jin-hyuk, who once again sticks to the snitch like a maintenance egg.

“How did you know I use a sword? ”

“Distance. They kept it farther than the jab could reach. And……. ”

Kangcheongseong continued.

“Qi is a concept that blind people have discussed in a spiritual sense, and in martial arts, it is a view of their whole body, not some supernatural energy. ”

“ ……. ”

“Dancing in the clod sounds like you've seen the Taiji Circle, too. It is a workout to learn circulation and exercise in the body along with breathing. If you are lazy, your arms and legs will play separately, your attacks and defenses will play separately, and your body and your error will play separately. ”

“Oh, what a lesson. Did you hear that? Write it down and learn. ”

Maintenance is killing me.

“Shut up, bitch. Hey, what 'd you say? Gain circulation and exercise with breathing? ”

Cha Jinhyuk asked Kang Cheon Sung.

“Yes.”

“So is it the same context, like hemopneumothorax? ”

“I'll take that as a yes. ”

“You leveled up the control to come up with that, too? ”

“I've been doing it my whole life. You have to recapture the error of that by applying it to the concept of chi. ”

“What did she say? Explain it again. ”

Cha Jin-hyuk began to ask Kang, if he was interested or not, and Kang, every time, he gave a clear but blunt answer. The situation changed from a fight to a lecture.

A long time later, I remembered the satisfactory look on Cha Jin-hyuk's face.

“Hmm, good. for your reference.”

“Suit yourself.”

“Now that you've learned something good, you have to pay for it. Summon, item bag. ”

Then a small cross bag appeared in Cha Jin-hyuk's hand.

From the crossbag, Chae Jin-hyuk took out a water bottle filled with a red liquid.

“Here, take this. ”

Gangcheon Castle received a water bottle filled with a red liquid.

“A healing potion. It's immediate to wound healing. It's precious. Use it only in case of emergency. It only works on wounds because it doesn't work on disease or physical deterioration. ”

Kangcheon Seong carefully looked at the healing potion, and gave it to him.

“Keep it.”

“Yes……. ”

I summoned the Hyacinth Item Bag and placed a healing potion in it. However, the bag of items in the comet was already full of bullets and emergency supplies for my mother's river, so I couldn't get in well.

“Agh, give me that. ”

A lesser maintainer stepped up and helped. She pokes the healing potion because the bag bursts. I was anxious to get torn up, but I think we're going in surprisingly.

“Sturdy as an item bag. Don't worry, it won't even sting. ”

“Go, thank you. ”

The maintenance team gave us several tips as leaders.

After spending time like that, Cha Ji-hye appeared less than 3 hours before the start of the test.

“Are you ready? ”

“Yes.”

“Then you can go into your rooms. You should never take off your clothes or do anything before the test starts. Some people took the exam without their shoes on. ”

“I'll be careful.”

We went to our rooms. The maintenance team also greeted us as they entered the bedroom.

“See you tomorrow. Not tomorrow for us. ”

“I'll see you alive. ”

I came into the bedroom and lay still in bed.

This was the third test. With the help of the lab this time, he was prepared in a very organized manner.

However, as time approached, I couldn't help but get nervous. The word ’Jinks 2, 3 times' made me feel ominous.

‘No one should die this time. ’

I don't regret killing Park Go-chan. I had to kill him.

But this time only the good ones. I don't want anyone to die.

Time is finally running out.

After summoning the slate and checking the time, I lost consciousness one second ahead of the remaining time.

* * *

As soon as I woke up, I checked with my team member. Joon-ho, Hye-soo, and Gangcheon-sung were all there.

We have just regained our senses, and a child of a baby angel who is sick and tired of praying came flying to us.

“Welcome. It's good to see my face, huh? ”

“ ……. ”

“Hey, I see you're all dressed up this time. ”

“Knowing a world we didn't know. ”

Who knew that in every country in the world, there are institutions that hire and support investigators, and they rank investigators in total karma acquisition?

Even the investigators are gathering supplies from the arena as an energy source.

‘Something is strange.... ’

“What's wrong? ”

“Oh, my gosh! ”

The archangel's son pushes his face and asks, and I'm surprised and take a step back.

“Dude! You scared me! ”

“I think the investigator Kim Hyun-ho is suspicious of something else. ”

“No wonder it's weird! ”

I told you.

“Earth and Arena are different worlds. It's a completely separate world that can never be physically touched, am I right? ”

“That's right.”

“But the whole world knows and is deeply involved in the arena. Even if the magic from the arena is being used as a high-efficiency energy source, is that okay with you? ”

“What's not to like? ”

This pupa replied with his pinky fingers behind his ear without a castle.

“Is there no problem with the order of the world or anything like that? ”

“Nothing, nothing. ”

The baby angel waves his hand.

But the more I think about it, the weirder it is.

The investigator selected from the dead.

Even if you spend a week in the arena, it's only a matter of time before you wake up on Earth.

This was to prevent the Earth from falling into chaos in its own way.

However, he did not impose restrictions on the investigators to keep secrets. The whole world knows about the arena and the exam, and they've even created secret institutions to study it. though it wasn't open to the public.

Was that deliberately induced? Is that also the purpose of the test? ’

That was when I went crazy.

“Okay, that's it. ”

A baby angel touched my head.

“What?”

“Investigator Kim Hyun-ho is very thoughtful. ”

“Am I right? ”

“Huh? I never said you were right. I'm just thinking deep. It's not a compliment.”

What's the fuzzy answer?

The baby angel snaps his fingers and bounces. The door of the test appeared.

“Come on, let's get started. Or do you want to spend more time with me? ”

We walked through the door of the test without saying a word. I passed the test last time.

When I was caught in the bright light, suddenly I heard the word of a baby angel.

“I never said I was wrong. Heeheehee.”

What the fuck, man! That's right. That's wrong. Can't you tell me that for sure?

Soon I lost consciousness in the intense light. That was how the third trial began.

* * *

I'm sick of this forest.

We arrived in the canyon where we had stayed until the end of the second round of testing.

Traces of campfire-burning and fish and rabbit bone fragments around it remained in our footsteps.
