Devil May Cry Demon, which started from pirates

Chapter 263 Autistic Arthur

Sky Arena, 1st Floor, Ring B.

Peng! !
Arthur jumped into the air, and kicked the man in the costume of the martial artist in front of him with a roundabout kick. It was so powerful that he kicked the martial artist flying, and hit the wall below the auditorium hard.

"Hey, this brat is so strong."

"Didn't you see? This kid and that white-haired man are together. The big one has that kind of strength, and the small one is not too much, right?"

"If you say so, it is true."

"..."

Looking at Arthur in the ring below, the audience in the auditorium began to chatter and discuss in a low voice, and some even glanced at Shana from time to time, as if they were confirming something.

However, Arthur didn't take these arguments to heart. He just looked at Shaner nervously and observed Shaner's reaction. Fortunately, the other party's expression didn't change.

"No. 3127, you go to the 50th floor."

After confirming with his eyes that the martial artist could no longer fight, the referee pressed a few times on the instrument in his hand, and a small ticket appeared. He tore off the ticket and handed it to Arthur.

After receiving the ticket, Arthur turned and left the ring, and walked towards the auditorium. Sooner, he came to Shaner's place.

"How is it, big brother? Have I improved again?"

Sitting next to Shaner, Arthur felt a little uneasy, and at the same time had some expectations, waiting for Shaner's compliment.

"Well, it has indeed improved, and it is much stronger than before."

Xia Na spoke with a smile on his face, and while speaking, he reached out and touched Arthur's head, and was quite satisfied with Arthur's performance.

"Hey hey hey..."

After receiving Xia Na's praise, Arthur's mouth curled up, and he looked very happy, just like a child being praised by his parents.

"However, there is one thing to pay attention to. When facing any enemy, unless you have the ability to fly, don't jump up. That is a low-level mistake made by the weak, and you will easily be killed by the enemy."

Immediately afterwards, Shaner changed the subject, pointed out what mistakes Arthur had made in the battle just now, and criticized them.

Well, even though Shaner didn't act very harshly, he didn't always show his strict side when dealing with Arthur. He would choose to be stricter only when necessary.

"Yes, I understand."

However, this sentence seemed a little wrong to Arthur. His eyes showed obvious loss and self-blame. Obviously, he was deeply reflecting on the battle just now, and promised not to commit any crimes again. same error.

"It's good to know how to learn lessons. As the saying goes, success is summed up bit by bit from the experience of failure, so don't feel guilty. No one is a sage, can anyone do nothing? Just don't make mistakes next time. gone."

Seeing this, Shana showed a very satisfied expression. He was very optimistic about Arthur. Arthur's talent in combat was not inferior to others. What he lacked was actual combat experience.

"Okay, let's go, go to the 50th floor."

Patting Arthur's head lightly, Shaner stood up and walked towards the passage, while Arthur followed behind him, like a child who made a mistake.

In this regard, Shaner just smiled and said nothing. In this situation, it is useless to rely on words of comfort. What Arthur needs is real action.

Ding--

Arriving in front of the elevator, Shana began to wait. It didn't take long for the elevator in front of him to reach the first floor. The elevator door opened slowly, and the two walked in.

"This "Sky Arena" is graded in units of 200 floors before reaching the 10th floor. If you fail 50 game, you will drop to the 1th floor."

Inside the elevator, Shana and Arthur stood in a row. At the position where the floor was selected, stood a woman in overalls of "Sky Arena". Her job was to press the elevator floor.At this time, she was explaining some rules about the "Sky Arena" to Shaner and the others.

On the surface, the two seem to be listening to the elevator sister's explanation of the rules, but in fact, the two are not listening at all; Shana has known the rules for a long time, so it doesn't matter whether he listens or not, while Arthur is still listening. I'm blaming myself for my behavior just now.

Ding--

The 50th floor has arrived, and with the opening of the elevator door, Shana and Arthur walked out.

"Arthur, listen to me, everyone makes mistakes, it's normal, don't feel guilty; self-blame is a good thing in some ways, it means you pay attention to something , However, if you just blame yourself without a good attitude, you will make more mistakes, and then you will be stuck in it for the rest of your life."

Seeing that Arthur still has the same virtue, Xia Na sighed softly. In a certain sense, "self-blame" is indeed a very good virtue, but if you only blame yourself blindly, it is definitely not a very good virtue. It is very likely to be invaded by the "heart demon" and become obsessed.

Don't think this is an exaggeration. If a person has only negative emotions in his heart, then this person is prone to some crimes.

"Um……"

"Don't fool me, I'm serious."

Seeing that Arthur was still like this, Shana's breath suddenly changed. He knew that if he told a teenager about these things, the other party might not understand, but Shana would not allow Arthur to continue like this. If Arthur If this continues, there is obviously only one ending for him—death!So Xia Na planned to take some tough measures to correct this kid's thinking.

"..."

Sensing the change in Shana's breath, Arthur's expression froze for a moment, because in his impression, Shana rarely treated him like this, or almost never, the only time was in "One Piece World" .

This sudden change in breath made Arthur realize that Shaner was definitely not joking. If he kept this negative mood, then Shaner would very likely abandon him.In Arthur's sense, he felt this possibility.

"understand?"

A slightly indifferent voice came to Arthur's ears, and Arthur couldn't help but come back to his senses.

"Ah."

Arthur's eyes were still in a state of astonishment, but this time, his tone was much firmer, at least not as weak as before.

"That's fine, let's go, let's first exchange the ticket in hand into money."

Hearing this, Xia Na's breath returned to normal again, and the previous tension disappeared, as if everything just now was just a dream.

Arthur looked at Shaner blankly. After a few seconds, his eyes became firm again, his expression became less negative, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little, as if he had finally figured it out.

(Apparently, my choice is correct.)
Seeing Arthur's expression, Xia Na secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because he did not teach others how to get them out of their psychological difficulties, so he adopted his own "Xia style counseling method".

Originally, Shaner thought it was a bad idea, and if Arthur became more negative, it would not be worth the loss; but fortunately, this method still played a little role.

"This is your bonus."

Coming to the front of a counter, Shaner handed his own bill and Arthur's bill to the staff. After entering the information, the staff behind the counter handed Shaner two rectangular objects similar to envelopes. This is The bonus for both of them after passing the 1st floor race.

"Open it and see."

Handed one of the envelopes to Arthur, Arthur took the envelope, opened the seal, and dropped a few coins from inside.

"152 nuns?"

On the way to the "Sky Arena", Shana taught Arthur about the currency system of "Hunter World", so Arthur recognized the coins in his hand.

"That's right, in this "Sky Arena", before reaching the 200th floor, as long as you win, there will be a bonus. However, as long as you are promoted to the first floor, you can get the price of a bottle of juice no matter what."

Shana came to a vending machine and ordered a bottle of juice that looked good. With a click, the sweet and sour smell spread in his mouth.

"Let me think about it. If you pass the 50th floor of this floor, you should get 5 ring nuns, and the subsequent floors will get corresponding bonuses according to the level. If you pass the 100th floor, you will have a bonus of 100 million ring nuns. It is more than 150 million yonis, if you win on the 190th floor, you will get a bonus of about 2 million yonis."

In less than 30 seconds, Shana drank the juice in his hand. During this period, he told Arthur about the bonus system of "Sky Arena".

"Hmph~ 2 million nuns... what if you reach the 200th floor or above?"

After listening to Shaner's explanation, Arthur's expression was not very surprised. He was originally a child of a wealthy family, and the level of "[-] million" can only be regarded as a small number for him.

"If you are above the 200th floor, there will be no bonuses. The fight is purely for honor, so our goal is to reach the 190th floor. As for the 200th floor, if you want to challenge, I can accompany you, but I don't think I will fight .”

For this "Sky Arena", Shana doesn't have any "passionate" mood. Everyone here is too weak, even those "psychic powers" above the 200th floor are too weak for Shana. A very weak existence, whether it is Hisoka who is here now, or Maggie from the "Phantom Troupe".

It's not that Shaner is exaggerating his own strength, but the reality is that it is true. Not to mention the aspect of "strength stage", Shaner has a crushing level advantage over the two of them based on intelligence alone.

In battle, although there are many conditions that can determine victory, the most important condition is "Information".

As long as you have 100% of the enemy's intelligence, then this battle is meaningless. The so-called "it's over before it starts" refers to this situation.

As for a detailed example, you can go to the first season of "OVERLORD", Ainz VS Shalltear, that is the most classic incident, which fully and perfectly illustrates how important "information" is in the battle, as long as you don't waste it If so, then the outcome of the battle has been decided from the very beginning, and the enemy must be defeated!
"I see."

After listening to Shaner's explanation, Arthur had a general understanding of the 200th floor.

"Just take a stroll, it is estimated that there will be a few battles arranged for us here, let's solve them as quickly as possible."

"Well, I see, big brother."

Arthur nodded, and began to hang out with Shaner, like strolling in a garden, until he was called by the radio.
