Chapter 55：A New Skill (2/2)

If I could hear the man then perhaps he had won his fight. It gave me new hope that we could defeat the remaining two.

So as instructed I grabbed the mans hand and pulled him off balance towards me.

”Now barge into him and use your hip to throw him behind you.”

I executed his instruction flawlessly with no hesitation. The man was flung into the air over my shoulder. The next thing I could see was the old man had jumped up as well. The old man quickly threw out his fist hitting the man in the stomach sending him flying against the wall. The man wasn't moving and small crater had formed behind him.

To be able to deal with the three of them with no weapons, the man must have been using Ki in his strikes. The fact that his punch was so powerfull only confirmed my thoughts.

When I went to turn around to check on the other attacker he had already disappeared. Then I heard a notification sound go off.

Now of all times? I still hadn't figure out how to unlock my skills and the messages appearing now just confused me even more.

With the commotion we had caused, the knights had quickly come to the scene and escorted the three unconscious men out of there. When the knights saw the old man they all bowed down to him and showed him great respect.

It was strange for the knights to act this way. I didn't even know who the guy was.

The old man then came towards me.

”Thank you for your help, you're quite the talented student. ” The old man said.

”Why were they after you?” I asked.

My original plan was to capture one of the members and get my answers from them. Now with them in the hands of the knights, that was near impossible and the fourth member was long gone by now.

”Judging by the fact you don't know how to use Ki, I would assume you are a first-year? When you become a second year, join the martial arts club, I promise to reward you then.” After the old man finished speaking he simply just walked off.

I fled the scene not wanting to be integrated or questioned by the knights. Luckily I had hidden my appearance meaning them or the dark guild members had no idea who I was.

When I got back to my room, I collapsed on my bed out of exhaustion. the others could see how tired I was and were respectful enough not to ask why.

I had trouble getting to sleep that night for I had a thought weighing on my mind. How did I unlock another skill?

So far I had only unlocked two skills. The first time was when I had defeated the intermediate wolf in the black forest. I originally thought it had something to do with defeating magical beasts, but when defeating the intermediate fang boar nothing happened.

Also, this event had nothing to do with magical beasts. The message I got was . Was it to do with defeating the black guild member? but that couldn't be the answer either because the old man was the one who finished him off.

I needed to find out what was the link between these two events. If I learnt this, I could get all my powers back.
