Day 21 ~ Day 30
Day 21
The morning practicehasn't even been going on for a week, yet goblins who’ve turned out to be
somewhat useful are popping up here and there.
As I thought, becausethe realm of nature is a severe living environment, or perhaps because we
belong to a precocious-type species, the goblins who underwent the soldier training program had their strength grow considerably. The training program is something that I had composed from useful parts I gleaned from my company's servers before I died.
Recently some of the underlings even managed to kill Night Vipers, and even the worst of them at least managed to kill horned rabbits by themselves.
Those goblins, who a few days ago couldn't even get their own food, can all manage by themselves now, and I, as their teacher, feel mightily proud about this fact.
However, Gobujii and his cronies found the results genuinely astonishing, and they treated me with stares both filled with affection and awe. I think the special treatment is kinda handy, still it's also slightly depressing. Well, it does me no real harm so I guess I can just ignore it.
When the sun arrived at its summit, I personally began training with the goblins; I spent the rest of the day doing such. That way, I can get a grasp on each individual's abilities. I can also catch any weaknesses or bad habits they've developed and teach them the proper way. Also, being able to single out the best individuals is useful, and above all it also serves to strengthen me. In this strict world, there are no disadvantages to having a well trained body. That's why I thought 38 battles in a row was good practice.
After the session, I once again came to the realization that Gobukichi-kun and Gobumi-chan are,
amongst their generation, head and shoulders above the competition.
Regarding the results for Gobukichi-kun from the recent training, it seems he has learnt how to limit the power of his attacks to not cause accidents. Creatures of this world seem to change in direct relation to how much they contribute when in a party. By killing enemies, they get experience that raises their levels and leads to the creation of surprisingly robust bodies by the mysterious laws of this world.
At the present time, as long as I don't use my abilities he is a tough opponent, so if all goblins,
except me and Gobumi-chan, were lined up to challenge him in order, they still probably wouldn't be able to get even one win.
Gobukichi-kun however, would not leave without incurring some damage.
Gobumi-chan is slow when compared to me, however the other goblins aren't a match for her speed. Since she's a Hobgoblin, her strength is also better than the other goblins; she's
also grown her nails to be pointed and sharp, and I taught her how to use her nails skilfully. This is in order for her to fight well, even without a weapon. She's got speed, and if I didn't have my abilities she'd make a formidable foe.
However, you might say she's still a cute little thing. Speaking as an opponent, even when both are unarmed, Gobukichi-kun is still more dangerous in close quarters combat.
When the practice sparring was over, we broke the group up in order to go hunting. Usually we
would go with our standard members, however today we had an additional member
in our party.
This additional member was a female, Gobue-chan. In our generation, she was the next most influential person after us three, and when the goblins were kneeling in front of us, she
was the one in the front.
Well you see, while the two backpacks and three field packs were a fabulous find, Gobukichi-kun is carrying a giant cudgel on his back, and I don't think Gobumi-chan can carry any more than she already is.
Frankly speaking, with me carrying one of the backpacks, one was still left, and while Gobumi-chan and I were each carrying a field pack, one was still unused. That's why we required one carrier, and Gobue was singled out. If it was her, she'd also barely be
able to keep up with our hunting as well. Also, increasing our members with one more strong companion isn't bad at all. Yes, and of course she'd be carrying the backpack as well.
When equipping her, we gave her the old leftover shield that Gobukichi-kun used before, together with Gobumi-chan’s old staff sling. We also gave her the carapace reinforced ceremonial looking costume, the Obsidian Knife and a bowie knife. Compared to the Horned-Rabbit Horn she'd been using till now, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Also, because she was going to carry our luggage, carrying any more than this is unnecessary. Or how should I put it, when we're hunting, our prey will become her luggage, so having her equipment be heavy would be a truly stupid thing. Just enough to protect herself from injury is sufficient.
Following that reasoning, this time's hunting was a lot easier than usual. Because unlike before, when everyone had to share the burden of carrying the prey, now Gobue-chan was doing most of the lugging; we finished the hunt without feeling fatigue.
Carrying heavy luggage, Gobue-chan was tired, but compared to us who easily concluded our battles, there was not such a large difference. Also, since Gobue was also contributing by shooting stones with the sling, she also managed to raise her levels by gathering experience. Perhaps Gobue-chan’s day of turning into a hobgoblin like us was close.
We didn't find any new types of prey, however our stomachs were filled.
Meat is very tasty, isn't it?
After returning to the cave, I read then went to sleep.
Day 22
Today I crushed a Goblin who was growing a little impudent.
Of course I didn't kill him, but recently he was becoming too overconfident in his new abilities, he'll die one day if I don't correct him like this. For that reason I steeled my heart and punished him.
I think this is a reasonable thing to do in an environment where carelessness means death.
Well, even if this Goblin does develop some rebellious sentiment against me I can just beat him up again, no problem.
Today the four of us went out hunting again as usual.
We searched for and found some Kobolds I could gain new abilities from.
There are six of them, it's the largest group we've come across up to now, but as we are now we can crush them without a problem. Although they have numbers on their side, we have
superior individual abilities and equipment.
We decided to give it a try. Gobumi-chan, armed with a crossbow and shortbow, aimed at a Kobold and prepared to pull the trigger, but then something strange came out from behind
the rocks.
A Kobold of small stature wearing on its head what looks like a Triple-Horned Horse skull by the three horns growing on its forehead, and a twisted and crooked wooden staff in its
hand, it approached the group while muttering something.
From its appearance, I think it's a Kobold Mage.
I knew since I heard from Gobujii that Goblins and Orcs and other lower-class monsters like Kobolds are generally unable to use magic to interfere with the laws of the world, with
the exception of subspecies.
But exceptions do exist where ordinary Kobolds and Goblins can wield magic.
These are called Kobold Mages and Goblin Mages. It is a highly prized and rare ability though not as rare as subspecies.
Without a sense for handling magic I couldn't wield magic at my leisure yet, and this time I'm
facing a Kobold Mage accompanied by six kobold followers, this could be difficult.
Even so, this is a good chance.
If the mage used magic, perhaps by observing it I might be able to learn to wield it. If not, I can
just take the ability anyway.
Thinking that, we tailed the kobold party and that somewhat troublesome mission was a success; we were able to see magic being used for the first time. The victim of the Kobold
Mage's magic was a Green Slime.
Even with the ability "Invulnerable to physical damage", the Slime's bodily fluids evaporated before the roaring blaze of fire, leaving behind a green stony core. It was quite the flashy scene.
But having seen that I gained a general understanding of magic. If I go back to the cave and practice a bit I think I could do it without a problem.
With that matter settled we went on the attack. The enemy were promptly annihilated.
The Kobold Mage died instantly from a poisoned arrow to the back of the head by Gobumi-chan. The rest were silenced by me and Gobukichi-kun, with the help of Gobue-chan's poisoned stone and Gobumi-chan's rapid fire. No matter how strong, they’re no problem if we crush them before they can show that strength.
We stripped the ordinary Kobolds of equipment and put it in Gobue-chan's backpack, then I secured the Kobold Mage's staff. Moreover, we took eight "Water Spirit Stones"—strange stones that give off water when tightly gripped—, six "Thunder Spirit Stones"—strange stones that discharge a strong electric shock—, and ten "Fire Spirit Stones" like the ones I ate
before, all separated into three small sacks.
I took the Kobold Mage and the six hearts for myself, the rest were eaten by the others, two for each goblin.
Incidentally, I also ate the Green Slime core.
Ability [Physical Damage Reduction] learned
Ability [Internal Mana Control] learned
Ability [Magician Proficiency] learned
Ability [Intimidating Roar] learned
It seems the Green Slime did not have "Invulnerability to Physical Damage" but the reduced version "Physical Damage Reduction", but that's remarkable enough as it is.
This way we now know how to deal with green slimes the next time we should encounter one: Simply burn them down with "Pyrokinesis".
Then, I ate the kobold mages' staff and the three kinds of "spirit stones". Doing this to gain abilities has become sort of a habit of mine.
Ability [Hydro Hand] learned
Ability [Aqua Resistance] learned
Ability [Electromaster] learned
Ability [Lightning Resistance] learned
Ability [Flame Resistance] learned
