Chapter 13: Back to the Arena (3)

Just like the first test, it was a forest

”Ah, it's another forest”

The gangster complained

I wasn't paying attention to hi area

I got a weird feeling from the forest

This forest scenery was familiar

Everyone was only looking around the area, so I gathered soe and spoke

”Were everyone else's first test a red ape?”

”Yes”

”You're correct”

The twenty year old girl and the male student answered

”What, then you guys also fought that fucking monkey?”

The gangster questioned

I just noddedinfor (In Korea people speak formally to each other if they're not fa)

”This is the same forest”

The cold irl and student nodded

As I thought

This is the same forest as the first test

”Then in this forest five red apes died right?”

”It seems that way”

The student answered

”Then in this test, wouldn't it be surviving a week from the red apes?”

Froster smirked

”That kind of monkey isn't so scary We can just kill them as they appear”

”There ht be tens, or hundreds of them”

”How do you know that you bastard?”

Okay

I hate this old man

”Monkeys live in groups If the red apes built a tribe and if five of thee?”

””

The gangster didn't have anything to say so I continued

”This is just my suspicions, but anye have to move from here We have to find food and water”

”I think you're right”

The student agreed

”I also agree”

The girl agreed in a careful voice As expected these twoare very agreeable

The problester and the cold thirty year old man

”Well, we need to find a safe place to crash at anyway”

The gangster said that and took the lead That bastard just decided on his ohich direction we are heading

I had a feeling that as ti to cause

But I had no choice right now

I followed his back and the rest followed

”Ah fuck, There's no cigarette's either”

The gangster checked his pockets and complained

More coster cursed endlessly and made us uncomfortable

'I wonder what these people chose with their karma reward?'

This hat I was curious of the most

Depending on what kind of skill and weapon they earned, the battlehts

'Then again the angel said that didn't he?'

'There were those who got great scores, average scores, and those who got really worrisome scores'

There are 5 of us int total

It's not too crazy too think that there ith great scores, tith average scores, and one with bad scores

Most likely the one with the bad scores is the girl She is a girl after all

There are tho got great scores One of them is me I wonder who the other one is?

'I don't think it's the student, but you never know Soreat score so you can't tell by their appearance'

At the very least it wouldn't be that gangster He's too stupid

Should I ask what their skill and weapon is?

Just when I was thinking about this:

”I'm Park Gochan”

The person who opened his ster

”If you ask people of Gangnaht's Park Gochan there's no one who doesn't knoho I am”

As expected, he was a gangster

”There is over 10 people I killed over the 20 years in this industry Unlike you guys, I'm very used to this kind of work That's why you can just trust me and follow my lead ”

Gochan as talking like this suddenly walked over to the girl and put his hand on her shoulder

”Understand little lady?”

”Why are you doing this?”

The girl flustered flicked Gochan's hand off her shoulder

However Gochan put his hands back on her shoulder like nothing happened

”I understand your feelings It's scary that you are experiencing this kind of thing right? I safely protect you from now on How about it? You're thankful aren't you?

”Let o”

Her eyes were filled with fear and with a shaking voice protested

The student didn't knohat to do and just stared at the situation

I was the same

Gochan started to slowly reveal his true nature

Arena wasn't a place that was protected by the law

It was obvious that Gochan who revealed his true self will act however he wants

It was obvious ould happen to that girl

'It's too bad'

I was afraid of Gochan orked as a gangster but I couldn't just let this happen

I needed to take the test with that girl and if I don't step in noas recognizing his unacceptable behavior

I separated Gochan froirl and spoke

”This is uncomfortable so don't do this”

”Pak!”

I yelled out in pain and sat down on the ground with my hands on my left cheeks

”You fucking bastard Who did you just tell to do what?

Pak!

Gochan kicked the side of my body

I hadmy flank

Kuk!

With the pain a sense of injustice surged Why do I have to be hit by this kind of bastard? He was using violence without thinking because he thought I eaker than he was

'Should I suun?'
