As time went by, Kranox forgot about the timer and became immersed in experimenting with his ability until he ran out of MP, and then continuing once he had regained some of it. However, as he continued doing this, it seemed like he could use his spores more often than he could at the beginning.
As he had lost track of time, Kranox only stopped training when he heard the same voice as before counting down from ten as well as the timer slowly going down until the next battle.
Kranox snapped out of his training trance and checked his status very quickly to see if his training had paid off at all.

Kranox was incredibly pleased as his training had increased his Magic stat by 1 and meant he could create 30,000 spores in battle and his MP recovery had also changed and he would now get 2 MP every five minutes.
As he was thinking about how useful his increase in Magic was, he was teleported into the arena. Without wasting any time, he checked his opponent's Title and appearance. The person he was fighting had the title of CQC King and he was a tall man covered in muscles. He looked confident in himself, but Kranox felt even more confident as the man would more than likely have an ability for a close fight, and as long as he could keep the man within 10 metres of him he could use his ability to kill him.
As soon as he was able to move, Kranox began to move towards the man and, unlike his previous opponent, the man began to run straight at him. Pre-emptively, Kranox created ten thousand spores in each of hands and was saving the other ten thousand in case his plan failed and he needed them. In his left hand, he created paralysis spores and in his right he made poison spores.
He began to control them just like he had trained and caused them to condense into a ball and spin as fast as they possibly could inside of his palm. Once his enemy got into range, Kranox released his left hand first and the built up energy caused them to go at an immense speed straight towards the man.
While they were moving, Kranox controlled the spores further and split them into three groups, one of which went into the man's mouth and the other two went up his nostrils. Kranox felt like this would have a higher rate of success than just sending them through the man's mouth.
The man began to stiffen up and eventually stopped moving entirely. Once this happened, Kranox did the same as with the paralysis spores with his poison spores and sent them through his mouth and nose. This caused him to start foaming from the mouth and his eyes began to bulge before all of the colour drained from his body and Kranox was teleported back to 'his room'.
Unlike after his first win, there was no voice speaking to him and the other victors, instead there was only a timer. As there was no voice to listen to for something important, Kranox immediately went to check the daily store as there was the potential for something good to be in it as he only had one skill point so he could not level up his current skill until he went through another battle. However, if he found a good skill for only 1 skill point then it would be a bigger help for him, and there was also the potential of a good item appearing which could be just 1 or 2 battle points.
While checking through the shop, there were a few things which were interesting to Kranox. There was a passive skill which increased resistance to elements which was 1 skill point as well as a strength increase skill for 1 skill point. As well as this, there were a few items which he was interested in such as the low grade magic staff for 2 battle points and the boots of minor speed which were 1 battle point.
However, what interested him the most was the 'Beginners Perk Package'. It cost 1 skill point, 1 battle point and 1 status point and its description was intriguing, 'A package which can only be purchased once. It has a rare chance to show up in the daily shop for the first five battles. Once opened, a perk will be received which will be displayed in your status. This perk will be useful and will stay with you forever.'
Kranox thought about what he should do as the beginners package seemed to be a rare item that was always positive. He also would not really be losing a lot as he had managed to raise his magic stat to what it would be if he had increased it with the status point and done no training. He also was not in need of equipment that much so he decided on choosing the beginners package.
He purchased the package and a box appeared in front of him, it looked like a present and was wrapped with a ribbon. Kranox saw a small card in the box which he picked up and read, 'The Perk Double Gain Has Been Obtained.'
Kranox checked his status to see the effects of the perk.

Kranox looked at the effects of his perk and felt like he had definitely made the correct purchase as he would now be able to get twice as many benefits for levelling up and for training as normal people do.
As he had nothing to do, Kranox decided to do a different kind of training and began to do physical exercise until he would have another fight.
