Done with arranging a little stuff I had left in the room. I walk outside.
The meeting place which is a training place that used to be a parking lot is not that hard to find. In that place, I saw few people training even though the weather was still hot people were pleasantly unbothered by it.
Looking at them I saw one very noticeable giant dude. It seemed he noticed me too, he walked toward me with great confidence. He looked unwavering with his height that quite tall at 220 CM, bulky body full of muscle with yellow kinda golden hair, It looked like he colored his hair but I couldn't care less about it.
"I've never seen you before, are you new kids?"
He asked me nonchalantly.
"Yeah, why?"
I answer him nonchalantly too to face his nonchalant attitude.
"Catch this!"
He shouted out of nowhere, jumping up and throwing his clenched fist toward me from above. It's a punch!
Bam!
A little bit of debris flying here and there.
"You dodge it, eh?"
Said this unknown barbarian.
"Of course, I am, ain't no way I'm catching that"
I answered him having jumped back to avoid his punch.
"You dodge it? I knew your stats were high! I can feel it in my bones! Spar with me!"
He keeps shouting out of nowhere.
"What the hell are you spouting?!"
I said bewildered.
Without further ado, he just jumped straight at me again.
I had no other choice I avoided his attack to the best of my abilities. I'm not a Martial arts kind of person but I was still an able-bodied man before all this hell scenario started and with this stats thingy increasing my capabilities it's been for long i felt like have wings.
Still, even with these wings, I can barely keep up with this monstrous person. No, can I even keep up at this point? His punch just getting faster and faster. Is he just warming up until now? Fuck.
It's not like his punch is a fast and light punch, his punch is very heavy. I felt that even one hit can immobilize me, heck, I might become cripple. even the pavement cracked and debris flew from his first punch before. Feeling I would be doomed even just for one hit I avoid it as best as I can like my life depends on it.

It's just me or do I feel like I got the hang of this? Should I counterattack? Damn right, I should!
I circle him once more, jump, and elbow his face from behind while he is distracted.
Bam!
Even I was surprised my elbow attack could produce such a loud sound.
He flinched a little bit shaking his head a little. Don't want to miss a thing I climb him up and punch his face as hard as I can.

"Hahaha! This is how you are supposed to do in a sparring!"
He laughing instead even though i just hammering his head.
Pissed off, I rear naked choked off him. I don't know the proper way but I've seen how you supposed to do it online a few times and somehow I feel like my gut feeling knows how's. Is this also because of these so-called skills?

I have already choked him for a few seconds, at this point, I might kill him or so I thought. What surprised me instead is he is still standing strong. It looks like he is getting stronger instead. What the hell is going on?
"Uaarrrgghh!"
He growled.
It's actually my hands that felt numb from his gripping. No, it's not numb, it's bent.
"Argghhh"
I screamed in reflex.
"Got you" He whispered.
Succeeding in getting out of my choke he holds both of my hands instead. And slam me to the ground as it is.
Baaam!
"Uuurrghh"
I tasted blood in my mouth, again.
I saw his silhouette with his right arm rising toward my face.
Will I survive this one? I thought.
"Stop it Satria, do you want to kill our new recruit?"
I heard a voice that helped me extend my life.
"What? come on, pretty sure he can handle this one punch, he is a pretty decent guy isn't he?"
Said this bastard named Satria defending himself.
"I said stop it, means stop it. Someone heals him"
Said that voice forcing him to stop.
"Geez, fine. Sorry about that buddy. You're quite a hurdle and I love it. let's spar some more later"
Said this bloke, damn, I really want to punch his stupid face again.
Sure, let's spar some more later when i have the capabilities to punch his stupid face as much as I want.
Then I saw a bunch of people surrounding me releasing some kind of light from their hands. My wound is getting better and better, even my bent arm. Is this the so-called healing? Not really a surprise in this kind of world.
"Are you okay?"
Said the voice. It was Maya after all.
"Thanks, btw What is this?"
I thanked her and asked what kind of thing is this healing thingy.
"These guys? They're life magic user it's magic that specializes in healing"
She explains
"It's not life magic! It's divine magic! We are divine magic holders!"
Said one of the older-looking men of the bunch.
"Yes, yes. Thank you for the divine magic's healing elder"
Maya said ignoring that elder nagging and thanked him.
"Okay, he has healed already we will take our leave then"
Said that elder and then walked out of the vicinity.
"That's elder Tohir, it can be said he is the leader of the life magic sorcerer in this camp"
She explains who that person is to me in a whisper.
I nod at her explanation.
"What about me Grandpa!"
Shout that loud bastard named Satria.
"Sleeping is enough to heal yourself you monstrous bastard and I'm still in my fifties!"
That elder shouted back at him. Hoho, Even grandpas hate him.
"Hey, stand up you're healed already. Let's start our training"
Maya urged me.
Wait a minute.
"Training?"
"Yeah, that's why we are here in the first place right, hurry up!"
She hurried me.
Damn.
