Chapitre 3: Exploring and experimenting!
Even though Ark really wanted to try out his new speed he didn't know if it was a good idea to just do it here since he might attract attention from a monster that is a lot stronger than him, but he thought that the risk was pretty low and if he didn't do it because he was afraid of other monsters then when would he do it? That being said he started to run, he wasn't used to the feeling of having four legs completely yet but as he ran he got better to the point that it was almost completely normal already.
He thought it to be quite strange as he expected it to take a while but then again he had his growth skill, which he didn't know the exact use of yet but he could guess and it would make a lot of sense, at least to Ark. After Ark had run for a while he started to get quite exhausted since his endurance was pretty low, so he opted to lay down in the shade and take a short rest, it had been a long day after all and he felt that he deserved it.
Having laid down in the shade of a big pine tree that had a height of around 20 meters Ark began to ponder, first of all on the increase in his speed. He felt that it was really incredible that you could just increase the way your body worked, and to such a degree as well. Another thing Ark wanted to put some thought into was his future stat distribution, he liked the feeling of running fast and he thought that it would be very useful if he encountered something too strong.
He felt that strength wasn't really as important since he could make up for his lack of strength in speed, you might think that strength is essential in a way that it determines how much force you can apply when you attack but speed is also an equally important factor. Take the flash, for example, the reason because he can beat some opponents with impenetrable defenses is that he runs fast enough, he even has a punch that is called the infinite mass punch.
Of course, Ark wouldn't completely neglect his strength since it could come in handy in situations where he couldn't really use his speed but he would focus more on other parts. Another important thing he pondered a bit was magic, but that would have to wait until he knew if it was good enough. Because even if he was interested in it he wouldn't forsake his own safety for it. Having thought for a while Ark got bored and decided to try and level his [Inspect] to see if he could get more useful information when he did.
"Inspect!"
[Rock]
It's a rock

[Pine tree]
It's a taller than usual pine tree

After just two uses he finally heard the nice voice in his head and he decided to instantly try it out.

Using Inspect on his water magic resulted in:
[Grants the ability to cast the beginner Lv.1 Magic water bullet]
Now that he knew what he could with his magic Ark stood up from underneath the tree and stared at a tree in front of him as he chanted "water bullet" in his head.
As soon as he had chanted it in his head he could see a small ball of water about half the size of a fist conjure in front of him and then shoot forward until it hit the tree and left a hole about 2 fists in width and about 2 fists deep. It didn't have that much velocity but the destruction it caused was quite decent and Ark thought that he would have plenty of uses for it in the future. And the mp consumption was also quite low at just 10 mp which meant that he would be able to use it a couple of times to surprise his opponents.
As soon as he finished that thought he heard some rustling in the bushes behind him and instantly went on full alert. Soon he saw three silhouettes with hideous grins emerging from the bushes, he instantly recognized them as goblins but something was off about the one in the middle of them. It was a bit bulkier than the other two and it had a rusty dagger hanging around its waist attached to a piece of string that it probably found somewhere.
Noticing his foes Ark instantly used inspect on them and went into a battle stance, if you could even call it that.

Stats: ???
Seeing the stats left Ark a little confused but he figured that he could think about it all at a later date since he was now facing a threat. Seeing the lone wolf in front of them the warrior in the middle seemed to think about something and then his grin got even wider, as he said something to his companions beside him and stepped forward alone while they stepped back.
Seeing this Ark got a little happy on the inside, he was thinking that it was gonna be a little tricky facing three opponents at once but if they were gonna underestimate him then he didn't mind teaching them a little lesson for their arrogance. As the goblin warrior moved forward Ark started moving forward as well, but not at his full speed, when he was within a meters reach of the goblin it drew for the dagger at its waist, seeing this Ark's eyes lit up, an opportunity!
He suddenly maxed his speed and slunk past the warrior, leaving it confused until something suddenly dawned upon it as it hastily turned around. But it was too late, Ark had already arrived at the goblin on the left and slashed out with his claws since he was inexperienced he missed the throat but still managed to kill it by gutting it. For a split second Ark was a bit confused until he realized that speed could generate a lot of force, before he could turn completely toward the goblin that had been on the right he could see a wooden club speeding toward him in the corner of his eye so he immediately rolled to his left as the club soared above him, missing.
Still on the ground he applied all the force he could muster into his hind legs and then immediately burst for the goblin that had just attacked him, he didn't judge the distance correctly so he was about to headbutt the goblin, fortunately he had a bit of time so he opened his mouth to then fiercely bite into the goblin's throat, killing it. Seeing its subordinates dying before its eyes the goblin warrior that was left turned furious and madly rushed at Ark, seeing this he chanted "water bullet" and watched as a ball of water shot out towards the goblin. The goblin was inexperienced and didn't expect the wolf to suddenly shoot water towards it so it couldn't react in time before it was hit in the face.
Normally it might have stood a chance of surviving but since it was madly rushing at full speed and wasn't expecting it the water bullet completely blew the goblins head off.
