Artlan carried him to the dimensional merchants where they found Bebe yawning. Artlan stood in front of Bebe and dropped Junhyuk.

Junhyuk tried to stand up on his leg while Artlan talked to Bebe.

"Do you have potions? Give me one."

"What about the money?"

Artlan looked at Junhyuk, and Junhyuk stepped forward.

"Check to see how much money I have."

Bebe put the plate out, and Junhyuk placed his hand on it.

It said 3800G.

Junhyuk was surprised by the number, and Bebe took out a potion. It was a pure, pink liquid that looked like it tasted sweet.

"Are you going to buy it?"

"Give it to me."

Bebe put the plate out again, and Junhyuk placed his hand on it. The number decreased by 500G. There was still 3300G.

Artlan looked at Junhyuk buying the potion and said:

"Wait here. I will come back."

After he spoke, Junhyuk watched Artlan go out and opened the potion bottle with his teeth. A fresh scent wafted out, and Junhyuk decided to drink it at once.

He paid a lot to treat his arm and leg, so he should drink it. Junhyuk swallowed the fresh-scented and sweet-colored potion all at once, and his eyes widened.

"Gak!"

It had the unbelievable taste of poison. He wanted to bite his own tongue, but instead he wiped it with his hands. Bebe laughed at him.

"If it’s good for your body, it will taste bitter."

Junhyuk tried to blame Bebe for the bitter taste when he realized his arm and leg had already been healed. He was a little surprised and swung his arm. Bebe looked at him and said:

"Isn’t it effective?"

Junhyuk agreed with him, but he did not want to taste that again.

"I shouldn’t get hurt again."

Bebe laughed hard.

"Everyone vows not to get hurt," Bebe clasped his huge hands and continued: "But vows won’t work. If you don’t want to get hurt, you need more equipment."

Junhyuk had been curious about something.

"This time I have more money than I expected. Do you know what happened?"

"Why do you want to know? It’s a good thing you got more money."

"They won’t take the money away from me later?"

"Of course not! The hosts aren’t senseless," Bebe spoke and looked around. He did not want anyone to listen to their conversation and continued: "For a novice, you earned a lot during the Hanta. Usually, a novice would earn about 2500 for about five heroes."

"Is that right?"

Junhyuk was curious about it as well. Then, Bebe clapped and continued:

"Are you... did you just become an expert?"

"What?"

"Did you activate another power?"

Junhyuk thought about what Artlan told him before coming here. Artlan had thought he did.

"I’m not sure."

"Ho. Isn’t this surprising?! You already became an expert!"

"What’s an expert?"

Bebe explained to him calmly:

"People who activated their first power are beginners, so they are called novices. A person who activates his second power is a specialist, so he is called an expert; a person who activates his third power is called a champion; and a person who activates his ultimate power is called a hero."

"So, people in different levels earn different amounts of money?"

"That’s right! A novice who helped out killing a hero earns 500G. An expert could earn four times more, so 2000G at once. It depends on your contribution."

Bebe flipped through a book and continued speaking:

"If you become a champion, you could earn 5000G helping out against one hero. Of course, there are times when champions can kill heroes. Then, you can earn items."

He already knew about the item prices. Basic items cost thousands of gold, but he could see himself earning more money when he became a champion.

Bebe smiled and said:

"You are already an expert, so I should treat you as a VIP."

"What’s a VIP?"

JunHyuk was surprised, and Bebe smiled at him.

"VIPs get a 5% discount with every purchase."

That was good to know.

"Sure, but can an expert become a VIP?"

"Of course!" Bebe opened his book wide and said: "Champions are VVIPs, and heroes are VVVIPs."

Junhyuk laughed at what Bebe said, and Bebe looked at him and asked:

"What is the second power you activated?"

"Well, spatial relocation, but I’m not sure."

"It’s a useful power. For escaping or attacking, you could use that power on both occasions."

"You can use it for attacking?"

"Of course. You could use it to chase an enemy who tried to escape, and use it to attack an opponent’s weak spot."

It was all very interesting. Junhyuk thought about training while using his new power, and Bebe continued:

"You will become an expert for sure on your next battle, but I will treat you as an expert starting now. Pick what you want."

Junhyuk knew Bebe was just trying to sell more stuff. Last time he activated his power, he became a novice during the following battle. Becoming an expert depended upon returning to the battlefield, but Bebe gave him the VIP benefits, and he thought of emptying his pocket.

"First, I will look at runestones."

"You do know what you think is right."

Blue runestones applied only to magic, except for accuracy. Junhyuk had no magical power, so he picked out the lowest level accuracy runestone.

"Give me this one."

"Here."

He placed his hand on the plate. With the 5% discount, he spent 950G, and 2350G remained. He thought about what Artlan had said about paltry sums and still felt bad about leaving the money behind. He handed Bebe the pendant.

Bebe placed the lowest level accuracy runestone on it and said:

"Do you want something else?"

"Do you have anything in the 2000G range?"

Bebe thought about it for a moment and said:

"To be honest, most of anything under 10000G is useless."

He had meant that the useful things cost over 10000G, making Junhyuk worry. That amount of money seemed to be such a distant concept, and he did not have it.

Bebe continued calmly:

"If you are asking my advice, you should carry a potion. You should carry one for emergencies when you can’t come here. Return orders are also handy. A return order costs 500G."

Bebe placed a few more things one could use on battlefield on the counter. Junhyuk decides to purchase only one potion. The other things could come in hand, but were not of absolute importance.

Bebe clicked his tongue and pushed out the plate.

"That’s 475G."

He felt like he should’ve had VIP benefits earlier. Junhyuk placed the potion in his chest and thought about the second power he had activated: spatial relocation.

In a dangerous moment, he had wanted to move two meters away, and he had wanted it like crazy. Maybe that was why his power activated, and, because of it, he was still alive. At that time, he had just gotten lucky without realizing he had activated his second power.

Junhyuk concentrated. He didn’t not how far he could move, but decided to move two meters again. He concentrated on that place, but nothing happened.

"Is something wrong?"

Junhyuk concentrated again, but the relocation did not take place. Bebe yawned and said:

"When you activate your power for the first time, it’s not easy to control. My advice is that you need clear mind projection."

"What do you mean by clear mind projection?"

"It’s spatial relocation, right?"

"Yes."

Bebe pointed to a chair away from Junhyuk.

"Don’t think you will move to that chair, but think you are already on that chair."

Junhyuk followed his direction. He didn’t think he was trying to move there, but thought he was already on that chair. However, nothing happened.

Bebe checked out his wares and said:

"You couldn’t do it right with your first power, right?"

Junhyuk nodded slowly without protesting. Just like Bebe had said, he couldn’t do it properly the first time. It took him fifteen days to be able to use the force field at will, and he had to realize that it was for protection and based on his basic will to survive.

Junhyuk followed Bebe’s advice and continued to concentrate, but he wasn’t able to relocate.

It wasn’t easy, but if he got used to his second power, it could save his life. He had survived MInota’s attack because of that new power.

While Junhyuk concentrated, Artlan returned. Artlan glanced at Junhyuk and asked Bebe:

"What’s he doing?"

"He became an expert, so he is trying out his newly activated power."

"Spatial relocation?"

"That’s what he said."

Artlan pulled out his sword and called for Junhyuk.

"Come here."

Junhyuk had been concentrating hard and did not know Artlan had returned.

"You’ve came back?"

Artlan smiled and threw his saber at him. Junhyuk escaped it by moving aside, but Artlan’s second saber flew behind it, accurately flying at Junhyuk.

He had room to move away from the first saber, but he couldn’t dodge the second. Junhyuk extended his hands and made a force field.

Thump!

The saber bounced off, and Junhyuk fell on the ground panting. Artlan grabbed his sabers and looked at him.

"Dodge it."

"What?"

"Do you want to use your new power?"

"Even if that’s the case..."

He did not want to risk his life. The saber thrown before had a chilling feeling on him. He wasn’t able to dodge the perfectly-timed second saber. Without his force field, he would been killed.

JunHyuk got up, and the force field disappeared. Artlan lifted his saber and looked at Junhyuk.

"You can’t use your force field now."

"I know that."

"Did you make up your mind?"

Junhyuk balled his hands into fists. He hadn’t been able to use his power since the first time, would it be possible?

He closed his eyes. Powers depended on the person who developed them. Junhyuk’s mind was made up.

Junhyuk slowly opened his eyes and told Artlan:

"I’m ready."

Artlan did not wait and threw his saber. Junhyuk could feel the chilling aura of the flying saber. If he didn’t dodge it, he would be killed.

Junhyuk had made up his mind and stepped toward the saber.
