Just like the first test, it was a forest.
"Ah, it's another forest."
The gangster complained.
I wasn't paying attention to him and was surveying the surrounding area.
I got a weird feeling from the forest.
This forest scenery was familiar.
Everyone was only looking around the area, so I gathered some courage 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 nodded my head in agreement. I didn't like he was being informal in our first meeting. (In Korea people speak formally to each other if they're not familiar with each other or with age differences; depending.).
"This is the same forest."
The cold man in his thirties spoke for the first time. The girl 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?"
From my words the gangster smirked.
"That kind of monkey isn't so scary. We can just kill them as they appear."
"There might 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 them died wouldn't their comrades come for revenge?"
"....."
The gangster didn't have anything to say so I continued.
"This is just my suspicions, but anyway we 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 two are very agreeable.
The problem is the gangster 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 own which direction we are heading.
I had a feeling that as time goes by the more problem he's going 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 complaining after a few steps. The gangster cursed endlessly and made us uncomfortable.
'I wonder what these people chose with their karma reward?'
This was what I was curious of the most.
Depending on what kind of skill and weapon they earned, the battle method changes. We needed to know each other's fighting method to cooperate better in fights.
'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 was two with great scores, two with 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 two who 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. Someone like me got a great 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 mouth first was the gangster.
"If you ask people of Gangnam night's Park Gochan there's no one who doesn't know who 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 who was 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 me go."
Her eyes were filled with fear and with a shaking voice protested.
The student didn't know what 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 what would happen to that girl.
'It's too bad.'
I was afraid of Gochan who worked 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 now I was recognizing his unacceptable behavior.
I separated Gochan from the girl 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 had my breath kicked out of me. I rolled around grabbing my 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 was weaker than he was.
'Should I summon Silpi? Or should I threaten him with my gun?'
