She was an orphan, the whereabouts of her fae She was left at one of the orphanages run by the Church of Solaria and spent most of her life there She would do chores there, slowly learning how to cook, clean and various other tasks

Even though the church was the ones producing the class change crystals they wouldn’t just give it to the orphans The child had to decide if they wanted to live as an acolyte or abandon the church life by the age of fourteen She had chosen to leave, getting a job at a few places throughout Edelgard and finally ending up at the inn where she was now e up for herself and finally et herself one of those elusive stones She went through her ascension, the class that she was rewarded was a scout that boasted high agility and detection skills This ht have not been her chosen profession but she was happy nevertheless

There was a slight probleeon with easy ister at the adventurers guild but there was not much work for tier 1 scouts that were still at the first level and had no battle experience The notice board for bronze adventurers was filled with tasks si to abandon as she was fed up with that sort of lifestyle

She was someone that was stubborn, she didn’t want to ask for help from other adventurers She also couldn’t trust thee of her

She finally decided to go into the nearby forest, the walk there took her two hours She had spent the rest of her savings on a dagger and on cheap leather aruards The rest of her attire was simple cloth

She had never hunted a oblins were quite easy to slay To her knowledge, they weren’t stronger than ten-year-old hu her quite the confidence boost

Helci wandered into the forest with the dagger in hand, going deeper and deeper without looking back She was dead set on leveling up and starting her new life as an adventurer The wind howled and the trees started rustling about which caused her to be vigilant

Her class was a scout that gave her better vision than others This class was also adept at hiding their presence while feeling out the area Soon enough she spotted her first target It was a pale looking goblin with a large wooden club in its hand

She was a gnoer than this se as she had the height advantage After observing the monster for a moment she noticed that it was quite lean and muscular This didn’t halt her advance, she was dead set on hunting this goblin

She gripped her dagger and started sneaking forward, she knew that the eleed to land a backstab she could probably deliver a killing blow She , there were so on This gave her a chance to oblin was unaware of the s the ground with its club while grinning Suddenly it heard sooblin turned around with haste to see a pointy-eared girl with a dagger rushi+ng its way

It didn’t have that oblin just swung its wooden weapon rando itself This was partially successful as it ger to go off target and plunge itself into the monster’s shoulder instead of its neck

The monster screaet away The sirl panted hard, she needed some time to catch her breath as the wooden club had slaoblin was a lot stronger than anticipated, even though her armor held she almost had her ribs broken

She didn’t realize that the monster had called for its friends so she continued, the eneoblin with rage in its eyes charged forward, it went into a berserk state and started swinging wide

The girl was slippery as an eel, the bloeren’t reaching her but she couldn’t move forward either The first blow had taken the wind out of her and she was now hesitating She had alht with the other orphans or drunkards in the city

Soon enoughwhich finally forced her to turn around and run She could barely handle one of these monsters, what could she do when fourwhile running towards the city

The forest was unknown to her and she was still just a level 1 scout Her tracking skills weren’t quite there so she found herself running in a random direction This was a mountainous area and luck wasn’t on her side as she found herself blocked by a high rocky wall

She looked to the sides as the road foras blocked She could hear the angry goblins running behind her which caused her to panic unable to decide Should she try cli sideways, there could be a better cli spot further down

Before she could decide one of the goblins juht and red ca from somewhere It pierced the monster’s head and stopped it in its tracks One monster was dead and four more remained

“Hey, you alive down there?”

She heard a voice frohtly fa there, this person earing a black robe and it was hard to make out his clothes By the sound of the voice, she knew that it was soer but still a !”

She shouted out while slightly relieved that there was another person here that was even willing to help

“I knoait a moment I’ll clear them out”

She looked at the charred corpses that werethat she wouldn’t forget for quite some time She spaced out for a ht her back to reality

“Why are you standing there, you need to leave,soon!”

“Oh, you should probably get the oblin there, the second one on the left before that, it’s to the right of its heart”
