Alex rushes towards Robinoldo, his eyes focused on his opponent's weird long legs, disregarding his comically short upper body. 

As he reaches him, Robinoldo unleashes a swift, vicious sidekick that looks like a spear thrust at Alex.

Still, Alex, with his high AGI and SNS along with his Basic Close Combat Prowess lvl 3, Basic Footwork lvl 3, including the combat forms of Claw Proficiency lvl 3, manages to easily evade the brutal but telegraphed attack.

Instead of going in, Alex is wary of his opponent's ability to use throwing and grappling attacks, which the announcer previously mentioned.

He focuses on his claw-style fighting style, his hands transforming into nasty-looking claws, his nails now looking like blades attached to a bone-shaped claw, just slightly covered with skin and flesh, overall looking quite monstrous, albeit not even half as terrifying as Killua's claws, whose skills are without a doubt at least 4 to 5 levels higher than Alex's.

Without waiting for his opponent to react, Alex targets his opponent's still outstretched leg. He manages to cut open his leg, even grabbing it and pressing his blade-like nails deep into it, making his opponent scream in pain. Still, he reacts and unleashes another kick with his other leg, a feat that Alex didn't expect. Alex decides to let go and dodge, satisfied with the damage he caused.

"CRITICAL HIT!" The referee screams and holds up 2 fingers.

"EVERYONE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS! Contestant Alex has somehow turned his hands into claws; what skill! Contestant Robinoldo's sidekick looked spectacular, but now his leg is bleeding profusely. Can he recover?"

Robinoldo screams in pain but still charges in. Alex dodges, using his claws to counter, and repeatedly lands light blows, stabbing attacks, and cuts on his opponent. He does not risk going into close range.

Alex is not a total amateur at martial arts since he took a few introductory courses after his initiation into the realm. However, he still isn't confident at all to get out of a submission hold of a strong fighter from this world, thinking, damn, I was so focused on Nen I disregarded essential Martial arts. Still, I can't waste skill slots on these skills. I have to make do without them. If I could use my Sealion's Icewing embrace, this problem would not occur since I would be immune to these attacks, so there is no need to worry too much. This is not a real fight to the death, after all!

Robinoldo's bleeding wound slowly covers the ring in blood, his remaining time clearly limited. 

Alex looks at Robinoldo and feels like he can read his mind. He immediately forms a nasty plan to easily win the fight: "I just have to stay defensive, and I'll win in a couple of minutes when his sight slowly turns blurry from the blood loss," he says.

He dodges attack after attack, but suddenly, a thought creeps into his mind: Is this a wise decision? You are here to LEARN, not win, using cheap tactics. This is the perfect place to get real experience and not go for cheap wins using even cheaper tactics. This is a battle without any real stakes. If things turn ugly, you could surrender and protect yourself with Ken!

The referee screams, "STOP! The first round is over. Go to a corner. Take a one-minute break, and then the fight continues!"

"Wow, everyone, this is not what we expected. Contestant Alex used a decisive attack to gain an advantage. He has been playing with his prey like a smart and vicious predator! Can Contestant Robinoldo keep up the pace, or is he done for?" The announcer says with glee. The spectators are satisfied with this bloody fight, reveling in Robinoldo's desperation.

The time passes, and the announcer signals to the candidates to resume the fight.

Alex enters the ring and slightly bows towards Robinoldo, saying, "I am sorry. My behavior was not sportsmanlike. I hope it is not too late, but let's have a real fight and show the spectators what they came to see!" 

Robinoldo looks at Alex with a confused face, clearly not believing him.

Still, as the referee screams, "CONTINUE!" Alex charges in. However, his opponent's weird combat techniques manage to outrange him a bit, and his kicks keep him at bay.

Robinoldo spins around himself, unleashing swift and effective kicks that Alex blocks with his arms. He feels quite the sting but no real damage. He also uses a few jabs between kicks when Alex is focused on blocking.

After analyzing his style, Alex advances and lands numerous attacks himself—claw attacks, consisting of cuts, slashes, stabs, and even a few kicks well suited to his current style. Claw Proficiency lvl 3 also has some techniques for claws attached to the legs and feet. Thus, Alex is at least somewhat capable of landing these attacks, even if he is unarmed. 

After landing a good combination attack, he feels confident and is improving by the second.

You have dealt 16 damage to Robinoldo

You have dealt 14 damage to Robinoldo

"Clean hit!" The referee announces: "3-0. Contestant Alex Kerber in the lead."

The fight continues, and Alex takes some damage as well, but his claw attacks are clearly way more effective than Robinoldo's, who has lost quite a bit of steam by now.

Alex lands another vicious kick. He sees his opponent falling to the ground, but his eyes suddenly turn crazy. He manages to grab Alex's leg and drag him down to the ground with him.

"LOOK, EVERYONE, A LEG LOCK FROM CONTESTANT ROBINOLDO! Can Alex fight back?"

Alex knows the basics of getting out of locks. He sees this as a challenge and thinks, even with a slight smile, I'll use my Aura if things go wrong, but let's play it fair for now!

He immediately reacts, not allowing his opponent to strengthen the lock, and twists his body. After a few seconds of struggle, his leg is still in his opponent's lock, and he feels some severe pain. However, he also manages to grab his opponent's leg, and a vicious smile forms on his lips as he thinks, Let's see who manages to hold out longer. His claw forms again on his hand, and he pierces it into his opponent's leg in one swift motion. 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGHHH" Robinoldo can't take it and screams in pain.

Alex uses this opportunity to twist his body again and forcefully escape the lock. He then charges at his opponent, puts him in a chokehold, and holds his claw to his throat.

"STOP! This fight is over! Winner contestant Alex Kerber!" The referee announces.

"What a turnaround! Alex Kerber escaped the lock with another cruel stabbing attack with his claw-like hands, " the commentator shouts excitedly.

Alex lets Robinoldo go, and his opponent looks down to the ground and immediately leaves the arena. However, before he steps down, he turns around and nods towards Alex, seemingly grateful for giving him a chance.

Alex leaves the arena smiling, knowing he made it to floor 110, learned a few things, and didn't choose the cheap and easy way out.

As he leaves the Arena, Menchi gives him a thumbs up: "Not bad, my cute student. I like your attitude towards martial arts. You didn't chicken out! Still, your grappling techniques are pathetic. We'll split time between some basic combat techniques and Nen starting today." 

Alex and Menchi finally visit the numerous stores inside the tower after Alex collects his fight money, a whopping 1 million Jenny, enough to buy 20 good quality phones.

He buys a relatively easy-to-use model, which is not suited for fighting and exploration since he knows he will only use it for the three months he can stay inside the tower.

The following two weeks pass quickly. Alex's days are structured the same way. He sleeps 6 hours, trains Nen for 12 hours, and then learns about martial arts with Menchi.

Alex is constantly put into embarrassing holds by Menchi, failing spectacularly to break free. 

Her teasing quickly escalates into her sitting down on his face, just wearing a thin training suit, her ass firmly pressed against his face.

At other times, she immobilizes him with her legs. She puts his face into her chest, causing him to be unable to breathe, nearly causing him to faint.

It even escalates into her squeezing his balls with her knee while holding him in a lock, clearly enjoying humiliating Alex like that.

Alex can't help but feel torn. On the one hand, he discovers that he enjoys this kind of 'training' but also feels highly humiliated being treated like a pet. Worst of all, he knows that Menchi knows he doesn't precisely dislike these things.

Still, Menchi only rarely engages in these things and is mostly serious, teaching Alex valuable techniques. After the two weeks are over, Alex, despite still struggling crazily, has learned the basics—not the pathetic 'basics from Earth,' of course, but the basics of the world of Hunter x Hunter, where humans are so strong that the fighting strategies differ significantly from those known to Alex. 

Not only does Alex learn about basic grappling techniques and how to integrate them into his claw style, but he also learns how to evade them. In addition, he now knows basic fighting strategies, movement techniques, and many other tricks he needs to be aware of.

Alex also gets closer to Menchi on a personal level, learning about her hobbies and interests beyond just cooking, which she still does for both of them daily. They even go out occasionally to try different restaurants, spending just a fraction of Alex's prize money.

Of course, Alex fights every single day and continues to climb Heavens Arena slowly despite his training.

While mostly winning, he fights a few opponents who are clearly superior physically and look like they'll make it to the 200th floor easily. Alex also realizes that a few of those fighters know Nen. Still, as if some secret contract was in place, nobody even attempted to use any technique other than a basic Ten.

Overall, it takes Alex 14 days to reach the 190th floor. He could have perhaps struggled like crazy and risked a few things to not lose. Still, he emphasizes not getting wounded too seriously. While he may have lost, he only lost through points. Each loss is vital to him, and he learns important lessons and discovers weaknesses, which he promptly discusses and works on with Menchi.

Today is Alex's next fight. If he wins, he will reach the 200th floor, and his true challenge will begin. He is proud of himself, not having used any spell, weapon, or Nen technique but only his basic fighting skills to reach the top. It was not easy, but he feels he has made some real progress beyond his skills. Alex feels like he clearly acquired a change in mentality, learning about fighting on a deeper level than before.
