Chapitre 17: C17. The Arena
"Are you going to fight in the Arena?" Palmer questioned, still following close behind.
"Yeah," I replied simply as the Arena pit came into view, "How do I get in?"
I looked around for a way down.
"Over there, there's a stairway down." Palmer pointed to our left.
"Student ID, please." A strict-looking administrator glanced at us with an outstretched arm, the familiar situation brought me back some nostalgia.
I tilted my head, "I don't have one," I replied, shaking my head.
The administrator frowned, retracting her arm, "No can do then." She stubbornly stood by the stairway, refusing to move an inch.
"Here, use mine." Palmer handed over his card, which the lady took a quick glance and swiped it onto a small device.
"Only one may pass." She moved to the side, keeping a close eye on us.
"Go," Palmer nudged me, as I walked down, "I'll watch from above," He points over to where we has stood prior.
Giving him a quick nod of acknowledgment, I quickly descended down into the Arena entrance.

A screen popped up before me.
"What's quick-fire?" I muttered, clicking it out of curiosity.
DING!
The screen closed as the giant metal gates slowly opened.
Another screen popped up
[Remember to shout STOP if you wish to stop fighting. There are a total of 100 rounds. Each round will become progressively more difficult. Good luck.]
The screen disappeared once more.
Stepping into the giant battle stage, the sun glared down upon me, causing me to wince slightly as I looked around.
There was around a 50m radius of fighting space. The walls were covered in barbed wires and the magic barrier above seemed the same as what I saw from above.
GRRAKK
A cry called out from the other end of the Arena, revealing a small green creature wielding a wooden club.
"A goblin?" I tilted my head in surprise.
It was one of those creatures I had read about in my past life. Those weak level 1 mobs that all newbies fight when they first arrive in a foreign land.
With a grin on my face and a sword by my side, I readied my stand and dashed forward.
My blade in my right hand slicing cleanly before me.
[Bloodline: +0.01 Goblin]
[Dexterity: +0.01]
Before I could even strike it properly, the sword had already cut through the wooden club and through its left shoulder, and out its right.
"That's it?" I blinked in confusion staring at the corpse before me.
GRRAKKKK
Another cry entered my ears as I saw 2 more goblins entering through a gate adjacent to the one I had arrive from.
"Let's experience to a little," I muttered, tossing my sword in the air.
In a blink of an eye, I sprinted over to a goblin, smashing it directly in the face with my fist.
[Bloodline: +0.01 Goblin]
[Dexterity: +0.01]
Flicking the blood off my hands, I looked over at the other goblin.
This time however, I shut my eyes tightly before throwing my fist at it.
SMASH.
I felt the impact.
THUMP.
That must be the body dropping to the ground.
I opened my eyes. There was no notifications.
Hm, so as long as I don't see the blood I wouldn't gain the bloodline.
I took a quick mental note before walking back to grab my sword from the ground.
GRAAKK
I turned around. The creature looked similar to the goblin, but slightly larger and menacing.
"Where's the goblin slayer when you need him," I muttered, taking a deep breath and throwing my sword at it.
THUMP.
[Bloodline: +0.05 Goblin]
[Dexterity: +0.05]
'Bullseye.' I mentally cheered, but not for long as another 2 hobgoblins popped out.
"Are goblins the only thing you have back there?" I grumbled, quickly fetching my blade and beheaded the two.
——
[Bloodline: +1 Goblin]
[Dexterity: +1]
In the end over 50 hobgoblins arrived, each getting their heads cut off the moment they took a step past the gate.
"This must be the 30th round or so," I wiped the blood of my face, looking at the gate to see what was going to pop out next.
GGRRRARRRR!
A thunderous roar rang out from behind the door and the pounding of footsteps echoed out.
"Finally, something interesting?" I raised an eyebrow, and positioned myself.
GRARRRARR!
The creature revealed itself, it's gigantic body almost twice the size of my own.
"Oh," My excitement instantly died, "An Orc? Seriously? All that hype and it's just a goddamn Orc? Isn't that just a goblin on steroids?" I nearly ripped my hair out in frustration, "Come on? Give me something more interesting at least! Give me a Minotaur or something!"
Without another word, I begrudgingly swung my sword at it and sliced off it's arm.
[Bloodline: +0.03 Goblin]
[Strength: +0.03]
GRAAAARRR!
It screamed as it begun attempting to smash at me with it's remaining arm.
"See? It is a over-sized goblin!" I read the pop out before me. "A dumb over-size obese goblin!"
GRRRARRRR!!
"Stop screaming," I frowned, raising my sword and instantly slicing off the other one as well. "Sensitive ears."
GRAAARRRR!
It screamed out again the blood roaring out from it's missing limbs.
[Bloodline: +0.03 Goblin]
[Strength: +0.03]
"I said," The noise finally getting to my head, "Shut. The. Fuck. Up."
I give his vocal cord a small cut.
[Bloodline: +0.001 Goblin]
[Strength: +0.001 Goblin]
"Finally," I sighed, giving the amputee a quick glance.
"So the bigger the wound, the more of it's bloodline and stats I get." I analysed, "If I take my time to kill my opponent, wouldn't that ultimately mean I'll receive more then if I kill them instantly?"
"This… I'll keep in mind," I smiled, closing my eyes and giving my sword one last swing.
