Experiencing battles with strong opponents is definitely a great help for growth.

I wasn’t the type to avoid fights like that either.

When I was in the Hunter Academy, I had numerous matches with opponents stronger than me, and after becoming a Hunter, I went to many gates that were more difficult than my ability.

Of course, that was the Hunter days.

At least right now, it’s not a situation where we can fight recklessly like that and move on, saying, “If you lose, you will gain something.”

‘Because this is not Earth. Besides, it’s not even a demonic.’

Demonic has its own rules, and there is an absolute rule that the minimum amount of life cannot be taken.

There are professors who are difficult to handle at my level, but as long as they are professors, they will keep the minimum line, so at least you don’t have to assume that they will die.

‘But this place is different.’

Of course, killing an opponent was forbidden in this arena, but accidental deaths during fights were not a problem.

The saying that if you abuse it, you can abuse it as much as you like.

In fact, the Lectron I dealt with earlier also said that it took several lives.

“Are you avoiding a fight with me now?”

It’s okay to avoid it.

No matter how much I came to this place to raise my combat experience and abilities, there is something called good to some extent.

There was no need to gamble against an opponent who surpassed me in every way, unless there was a reason why a fight could not be avoided and should not be avoided.

Because the price of guesting is nothing but dog death.

“Again, I have a busy job.”

“It will take a while. It won’t take long anyway.”

I guess so.

If you seriously attack me, it will be difficult for me to survive even a few points with my current abilities.

And the onlookers who were listening to our conversation began to open their mouths.

“Who is that guy?”

“I don’t know? I don’t think he’s very famous.”

“You’re a fearless guy for attacking an opponent who destroyed Lectron.”

“hey! Get on with the subject.”

The spectators who did not know the opponent’s skills were ignoring the opponent, thinking that I would win.

‘Looking at the reaction, I don’t think he’s a famous person in the arena.’

It’s probably because he’s hiding his skills, or he’s visiting the arena for the first time like me.

The man in front of me was fixating his gaze on me, as if he didn’t pay any attention to the reaction of the people around him.

“A warrior who knows his honor must not shy away from the challenges that come his way.”

That’s not wrong.

But why are you looking for that honor in an arena like this?

The arena is the only place where victory is the only goal and you can use all means to defeat your opponent.

It was a little, no, a lot strange to have an honorific ceremony in a place like this.

“I’m having a bit of trouble now.”

“I thought I met a good opponent after a long time… Were you a coward? I don’t understand how he was able to radiate such a domineering aura before.”

The opponent clicked his tongue lightly and expressed his disappointment.

I was troubled when I saw it.

‘What on earth did he feel for me?’

In terms of ability, I can’t even compare.

I don’t even have any special skills.

They have skills, but they aren’t outstanding enough to be of interest to someone that strong.

‘No, wait.’

have.

The level itself is not high right now, but the value of the skill is enormous.

It was ‘Dablic Force’.

‘I can’t believe I felt the power of the Diabloc Force.’

My use of Magi is based on the Diabloc Force.

When dealing with Lectron a while ago, the power of the Diablic Force was also used, and if the opponent felt it, it would be understandable that they were obsessed with it.

After all, it was the skill of the Great Demon King, one of the strongest in the demon realm.

‘That means he’s a being with enough skills to recognize the power of the Diabloc Force.’

His ability level is also his ability, but no matter how much he thought about it, he was not an opponent he would encounter in a place like this.

‘Do you just pretend to be crazy and stick around?’

I got a little angry at the other person’s tone of voice that ignored me, but I also felt a sense of pride… .

I had to shake my head.

Courage and bravery are different.

I know my subject better than anyone.

Besides, I knew the opponent’s ability, but there was no reason to overdo it.

However.

‘It’s another matter of pride to just let it go like this.’

I slowly opened my mouth while looking at my opponent.

“Are you going to stay here?”

“Not like that. I just stopped by for a while because I had work. Originally, the place where I work is a different place.”

“That’s right.”

After thinking for a while, I made a decision.

“Four months ahead.”

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s meet here again in four months.”

“Are you saying you won’t avoid it then?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm… .”

The other party seemed to be troubled by the unexpected proposal.

But the trouble didn’t last long.

“I don’t know what the 4-month period means. I will accept your offer. You won’t break your promise, will you?”

“Of course.”

“good night. I look forward to our next meeting.”

The man turned and left the arena.

Looking at it, I made a promise.

‘The next time we meet will be different.’

A mysterious strongman named Heidel Marius.

It was the moment when I decided what I was going to target first, except for the professor.

And 4 months is enough.

* * *

“Well… .”

Am I overdoing it?

I went over to the opponent’s non-provocation, and I spent 4 months, but I’m worried that I was too hasty.

However, he soon shook his head.

‘No, I can.’

If he not only raised his stats, but also raised the proficiency of Diablic Force, there was a good chance.

After all, you have to perform well against professors at the academy to move on to the next level.

If you develop your skills to a level that is not inferior to the professors, you will be able to compete with Heidel.

Four months may be short, but considering the performance of Diablic Force, it was worth a bet.

‘Because I know better than anyone how to work on my abilities.’

In the first place, we decided to do our best to grow, and it’s just progressing a little faster than originally planned.

‘Since it coincides with the midterm evaluation period, it should be okay.’

Demonic’s method is to determine if you can move on to the next level based on your performance over the course of a year.

And it was said that the most influential was the mid-term evaluation and the final evaluation.

‘Certainly, as Sebastian merged with the launcher, it became more comfortable in many ways.’

It came to have various functions, one of which was the search function.

In the past, when checking Kylas’s diary or obtaining information through books, he had to find it himself, but now that Sebastian allows him to easily find what he wants, the situation has become much easier.

Sebastian will also help me to use the 4 months given to me most efficiently.

‘Did my stats go up a bit, oh?’

When I checked the status window, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

◆ Name: Kyler Diablick

◆ Age: 18

◆ Stats: Strength (502) Agility (512) Magi (544) Endurance (490) Dignity (96)

◆ Skills: Diablic Force (S) LV 5, Magic Barrier (A)

Against the weak guys, his abilities, which had risen below 10 at most, had risen by several tens.

A situation where all stats except durability reached 500.

Excluding Magi, who was in his 500s from the beginning, his strength and agility had risen to nearly 50.

‘As expected, dealing with a strong guy is the correct answer.’

Maybe next time I’ll have to deal with someone stronger than Lectron, but even taking that into account, the result was satisfactory enough.

‘But the dignity has gone up by 2.’

Dignity, a skill whose effect is unknown.

I don’t know how to raise it, but since there won’t be any losses due to the increased stats, there was nothing wrong with it.

‘Now then, where should I look for other guys?’

Knowing that fighting in this arena would bring growth beyond expectations, there was no reason to hesitate.

‘Let’s see.’

I looked around and searched for a suitable partner.

However.

‘Why are all the weak guys?’

Let alone the Heidel level I met earlier, I didn’t see an opponent comparable to Lectron.

‘This would be difficult.’

At least, I thought there would be quite a few strong players, but unexpectedly, most of them were chaff.

The moment you look for opponents with similar abilities.

“great. Lina who achieves 5 consecutive victories.”

“You don’t seem to get tired.”

“He has great stamina for his small stature.”

A disturbing sound came.

‘Reena? Oh, he was there too.’

I thought of Erina, who, like me, was fighting in this arena while hiding her true identity.

Listening to the commentators, it seems that he has won five games in a row.

‘I mean, I’ve won two more after three wins in a row.’

Even without such a strong presence, 5 wins in a row is definitely a great result.

It’s because she’s still a student at the academy, and she’s showing off her skills in a rough arena like this.

‘Is your skill better than I thought?’

I didn’t think it was very great because I was one-sided, but I was a little surprised.

‘Let’s see.’

I checked the abilities of Erina, who was showing off her arrogance on the field.

◆ Name: Erina Clayren

◆ Age: 17 years old

◆ Stats: Strength (422) Agility (472) Magi (484) Endurance (410) Ice Flame (175)

‘Ohh? It’s quite a lot.’

It was a higher ability than I expected.

Erina with all abilities evenly distributed among the 400 generations.

You would have to look at other students to know, but among the students, it seemed difficult to find an opponent.

And even within this arena, there didn’t seem to be many strong players of her level.

It’s not just about winning 5 games in a row by luck.

‘If it wasn’t for the Diablic Force, we might not have been able to subdue it so easily. But what is that?’

Like my majesty, she also had a mysterious ability called Ice Flame.

‘I thought that guy, like me, would have an unknown ability. What criteria does the 5th ability come from?’

Aside from me, Erina was the only one who had the 5th ability level among the people I checked so far.

‘For sure, strength is not the criterion.’

Heidel or Cedric, who were much stronger than me and Erina, did not have a 5th stat.

Then there’s the story of something special.

‘I don’t know what it is.’

It was the only one in the Demon Realm that had a status window, and it was possible to know the abilities of others, but it was still full of unknowns.

‘Well, I’ll find out later.’

What I am going to do now is practice.

And it will become stronger.

‘There’s no need to deal with that guy right now.’

It might be revealed, and even if that wasn’t the case, it didn’t seem necessary to fight again.

‘Now, let’s look for stat punching bags.’

I started fighting around the arena.

* * *

dark space.

It was a large marble that illuminated the space.

And a few people appeared around the marble.

“Has everyone gathered?”

“Everybody seems to have come except for the professors who have schedules.”

“Hmm… .”

It was Veigar who looked around and nodded.

“But why did you call us?”

“I heard that it was originally convened yesterday, but it was canceled. Are you having any problems?”

“I think it’s faster to see it with your eyes than to explain it with words.”

Right.

Veigar lightly flicked his hand, and the orb began to vibrate.

And a video came out of the beads.

After a while.

“Now this… Is that true?”

Cedric clicked his chin in disbelief.

It was said that he, a skeleton, was quite surprised to react like that.

“Well… It’s hard to believe, but it’s all true.”

At Veigar’s words, the atmosphere in the room turned into an uproar.

“Huh… .”

“What the hell was he thinking?”

“I wasn’t the kind of person who would do something like this in the first place… .”

“So what do you plan to do?”

The professors’ eyes turned to Veigar.

“There is no problem with the rules, so I should accept it.”

Veigar’s gaze turned to the orb.

“I think the demonic will be more fun in the future.”

Unexpected situation.

However, it was Veigar who smiled at the change that the situation would bring.
