Disgust filled me as I stared at the dying Lycanthrope. A tear runs down from the other Lycanthrope's face. "He has been my friend since childhood and we've been together for a long time". He shakes his head in sorrow. "If only the healers did their job maybe he would live". I know I have high-level healing magic but since I'm not a healer class restoring entire limbs is out of my league.
[Let me see him]. Laying the injured Lycanthrope on the table. "What are you planning on doing". [Trying to save him].
(Skill Activated: Greater Heal)
The open wounds slowly closed as his breathing steadied. "Will he be okay"? The Lycanthrope who was carrying him asked me. [Don't know]. "Wait what"? [Said I don't know if he will be alright]. "AREN'T YOU A HEALER"!? [No I'm a monster with no medical training I don't know what you were excpecting I just know a bit of healing magic]. His face was filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair. [I wouldn't worry though the wounds have closed so he isn't going to get worse but I don't know how long he will be out for]. "How long do you think it will be".
I put my fingers on my chin contemplating the question. [If I have to guess an exact time if say... A long time]. "DOESNT HELP"! [Look I'm sure he will be fine my name is Crimson]. "I'm Conan and my friend's name is Kan thank you for your help". [It's not a problem I'm just pissed at these humans and their attitude towards me]. "Oh, so your that Kobold people are talking about". [Wait what]? "Oh, you didn't know people have started calling you the raging child or temper tantrum". I froze and gave a deep long stare at him. He showed no signs of joking. [Is that really what people are calling me]? "Yeah but we monsters have been calling you Freak of Nature".I curled up into a ball in the corner. "Uhm are you alright"? [Give me a minute I need to contemplate my life].
I sit in the corner for a couple minutes thinking about the insulting nicknames I've been given.

I could just imagine the god of titles laughing his ass off. "Hey, it's your turn again". Conan puts a hand on my shoulder as I jump a little. [DONT STARTLE ME LIKE THAT]? "Heh sorry sorry but you should get going". [Right thanks Conan]. I head for the stage and as I approach I could hear the booing which made me a little depressed. However, in all the booing, I could hear cheering. Cheering from other monsters although it was drowned out I could still hear it.
It made me feel... Happy? I had a warm feeling as I heard those drowned out voices. It felt good, in all the ridicule and constant racism I guess there are still creatures who come from the same place as me. I may not be ready to take on the world now but I guess this is a start. Walking towards the arena I meet my next challenger. Which I managed to down in ten seconds by punching him straight in the gut.
I returned to the waiting room as the matches went by. Most of the contestants were pathetic but I had my eye on one in particular. *The alleyway hobo*. He didn't wield a weapon but was very adept at martial arts. Most of his matches lasted only half a minute at most. One time he managed to win in only two seconds. By twisting the arm holding a sword he managed to flip his opponent in the air and kick him out of bounds in an instant. [He should not be underestimated]. {Agreed, do you want my help}? [No I want to see how far I've come]. {Reckless as always}. [Yeah but I prefer to live a little reckless].
"Hey Crimson". [Oh hey Conan]. Conan walked up to the table I was sitting at alone. "I'm impressed the elder wasn't wrong to dub you freak of nature". [SO IT WAS YOUR CLANS FAULT]! He snickers to himself. "Relax I'm impressed by your fighting skills how did you get this way"?
[I didn't know how to respond since nobody has acknowledged me before but it wasn't my strength. [You could say I'm just a toy for somebody else]. "Really you know I'm sure that statement can easily be read wrong". My face flusters red as I realize the mistake I just made. [F-FOTGET WHAT I JUST SAID]. He just laughs as I flail my arms around. "I'm just messing with you theirs no need to tell me, I'll be cheering for you". Those words hit me hard, I've always wanted somebody to be on my side. [Thanks]. I give a bright smile.
"Alright I'll see you around, oh and I'll also let you know when Kan wakes up". [Alright I'll see you around]. It's the hobo's turn again so I decided to study his movements while eating some chicken. {The finals are up soon}. [Yeah I know I wonder who I'll be facing]. The matches were coming to an end as the only two left were me and the hobo. {It's time}. [I know let's go]. We make our ways to the stage ready for the final battle in the beginners league.
