Sora looked at the hurt Luka that was holding the glass that was meant to be the one having water for him. An hour passed without him noticing.
He was too concentrated on the [Shop] that he forgot to check the time and arrival of his spectators.
"What are you buying, scum?" one of the boys said scornfully, he was the leader of the three.
Sora just looked at them in silence and cast ~Observation~ on them.
The two guys that were holding Luka, were only twelve years old. So the information that Sora got back was the following:

However, the information he got from the leader was lacking.

"I see..." Sora began to read the information that was given to him. However, he didn't have the time to compare the quality of the information when a punch appeared in front of him throwing him to the floor. Sora saw how his HP descended from 50 to 25. He understood that another punch from Carlos would kill him.
That was one of the problems with the appearance of the System, everyone became stronger, so their punches were stronger than before. Many people were killed by accident during the Boxing competitions because they couldn't control their strength.
Sora tasted a metallic savored that invaded his mouth, it was his blood.
"I need help," he thought and looked at one of the two boys that were holding Luka tightly. Luka wanted to be free so he can't go and tell Ma'am Diana what was happening, "I'm too weak, and also I only have one chance..." continue thinking. He knew that his MP could be restored, but time was needed. Everything that he thought was in seconds. Sora made a plan, if it succeeded he would live, but if not, well, he'll die.
Carlos was laughing after he hit Sora, "You are saying that you have money to buy, in that case, give your money now or I'll give you another punch. I'm 13 now and I have activated the System, so don't test my patience and give all your money," Carlos was surely a boaster without a brain, that was what Sora thought.
With all his force, he stood up. Carlos thought that Sora was going to surrender, but Sora's next words left him stunned.
"DANIEL, GIVE CARLOS A KICK IN HIS PRIVATE PARTS!" Sora commanded and used his 10 MPs to cast on Daniel the ~Total Authority~ Skill. He hoped that the increase in 10% of probability succeeding could be enough.
And he was right.
Daniel let go of Luka, "Yes, my lord" he said with blank eyes and went towards Carlos quickly, giving him a strong kick in his genitals. Carlos could have avoided the kicked, but he was too surprised with the words of Sora like with the words of Daniel, (even Sora was took by surprise with the sudden "lord" thing), that he failed in reacting on time leaving him on the floor with both his hands covering down there and a furious and painful expression on his sullen and fat face. Yes, Carlos was an arrogant fatty with serious problems.
Sora looked again at Carlos and a smile appeared on his pretty face. However, it was a cold smile, not a warm one.
🐾🐾🐾
Name: Carlos Smith
Level: 3
HP: 55/150

It was a good kick.
After that, Daniel stayed immobile for some time. Even Raúl was so stunned by the scene that unfolded in front of him that he let go of Luka too, who went quickly to inform Ma'am Diana that the three same boys were hitting Sora.
Sora, on the other hand, took the chance and, with a thick branch that was close to him, hit two times Carlos in the back which took another 20 HP, leaving Carlos with only 35 HP. Sora got exhausted with those hits, his stamina was too low. However, Raúl came back to his senses and charged towards Sora. Sora fully understood that, if the charge doesn't kill him, he will surely be on death's door.
Just before Raúl reached him a big hand stopped him and throw him to the ground. Sora looked at the one who just arrived and smiled before fainting.
Daniel woke up finally and saw the two people that were on the ground, one was groaning in pain, while the other one was locked down by a young man with blonde hair. Then he looked at the other side and saw a beautiful lady with fiery red hair, and next to her was Luka with a worried look on his face, and also a glass with water. The girl was holding someone with one of her slender arms while with the other one, a green light was shining on her hand, was on that person's small body.
Daniel immediately recognized who was that person: Sora Reith, the one who they came to hit according to Carlos' agenda.
Sora opened his eyes and saw the beautiful face with a calm expression. Sora knew that person, she was Rose, one of the two eight-year-old people that was from his 'generation'.
"It's good to see you awake," Rose smiled sweetly.
"This is the water you asked to bring you before, I wanted to give it to you earlier, but Carlos and his henchmen found and caught me on the way," Luka was like a puppy waiting to be punished by his owner.
"Don't worry, I'm sorry to have involved you in this mess," Sora said calmly. It was wonderful the healing ability, even his original 50 HP went up to 95 HP, the malnutrition was still there, and the only way to eliminate it completely was having a better diet, "Thanks for the water" he sipped the water in the glass in one go, "Now I need to continue running..." Sora was saying when someone suddenly touched his shoulder.
"Why are you running? You never liked before to do anything close to physical activity," a male voice said. The owner of that voice was the same owner of the hand on his shoulder.
"Jin! I didn't see you!" Sora turned quickly and saw a smiling blonde hair young man, "I began to consider that soon I'll be thirteen, so I need to prepare for the training..." Sora was always quick to answer.
Those two were the oldest in their 'generation' and also were the ones who took care of them when Ma'am Diana was in a bad mood (she is usually in a bad mood). So all of them really loved them.
"I understand, in that case, I'll come more to help you with your practice," a big smile appeared on Jin's face.
Sora got curious about something and cast ~Observation~ on Jin and Rose.

"Just like I thought, I still can see some of their information. One could call it the basic information, but the description is enough to tell me that I need to increase my level and the skill level. Also, there's a difference, not only in the description but also in the Level: in Daniel's and Raúl's info, I could see their experience needed to advance to the next level. I think that the 'Occupation' will be also available once I level up," Sora thought while looking at the floor.
"Men, always eager to get in action. I thought you were different Sora," Rose told him with a tired voice.
"I just want to survive the training period," Sora told her, Rose simply smile lightly.
After exchanging a few words, Sora continued running. After four hours, he finally heard the sound he was waiting for.
Ping!
🐾🐾🐾
You've completed the 2 km.
Update!

"I'm exhausted..." Sora sat on the floor and with the help of Jin, he stretched after the long-running.
Rose was looking at the two while also keeping in check the three people who were already in a better state.
Carlos wanted to ask Daniel what happened four hours before, but the cold gaze that Rose was giving him kept him quiet.
Sora looked at the three people, then he looked at something on the air (Rose and Jin didn't notice this commonly seen action between hunters, because they were talking with Luka who was telling them how they have been) and notice that his MP was full again. A smile appeared and he tried it on Raúl this time, more calmly.
"Tell me, why did you go against me?" Sora commanded.
Rose and Jin heard his question and looked at Raúl, waiting for his answer.
"W-we were told by Carlos that you were the next prey on his list," Raúl answered stuttering.
What surprised Sora was not the information he got, but that his MP wasn't wasted and the order was accepted by the System.

A smile appeared on his face. However, the smile was too quick to be notice by anyone present.
