Volume 1 Chapter 10 (2/2)

Although.. Her tail felt really nice to touch, it was smooth and fluffy.

Eh? Does it mean that if I become her husband, I’ll get to touch her tail?

Ugh. Calm down Youya. She is just a girl, what on earth are you thinking.

We dived into the another dungeon from the entrance at the guild.

There were several dungeons meant for beginners. This time, we entered a jungle-type dungeon. The reason why we entered a different dungeon was because of the difficulty in the monsters’ weak spots. It is difficult to land a critical hit on the monsters in the rocky mountain dungeon. However, there were many monsters in this dungeon with weak points that were easy to target.

At the distance, I saw the figure of a monster hiding in the shadow of the tree.

The monster was a goblin.

[Luna, it’s your turn now. You should have no problem with a goblin at your current level. Ideally, Thieves battle by utilising their speed, quickly rushing their targets and defeating the monsters with a single blow.] (Youya)

[Got it. I’ll try it!] (Luna)

When I took a look at her status, her stats weren’t as bad as mine before the level reset. At her level, she shouldn’t have any problem dealing with the goblin. On the contrary, her Attack and Speed on average increased by 3 every level.

I don’t believe that this was based on luck. I have a feeling that her status increase was fixed from the start. She was a fox-beastman that didn’t exist in this world who was trapped in a crystal inside a hidden room. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was the only one in the world who had a fixed status increase from the start.

[Kikiki]

The goblin came out of his hiding spot holding a stick. It was a green monster smaller than Luna, with a bulging stomach.

Goblins have low offensive capabilities and low-speed, making them easy prey.

If you approach cautiously, the chance of defeat is low.

Note: Anyone having Goblin-slayer deja vus here?

Luna rushed the goblin the instant it appeared. She was fast. Much faster than her status had implied. As expected of a beastman. She had mastered her body much more than an average person could.

However, the situation was bad. She is rushing too much into the battle. Even though the goblin was right in front of her, she showed no signs of slowing down. If it was me, I would had already slowed down to prepare my stance before throwing out a thrust against the goblin.

Luna continued to prepare her thrust while maintaining her speed, barely achieving the form required for the critical to register.

It is impossible for her to transit into the stance for her thrust with that kind of momentum.

However, she did not show any intention of slowing down her momentum.

Even if she fails here, it will come back to her as a lesson and experience to reflect upon.

As Luna rapidly approaches the goblin, her stride was further increased on her last step directly in front of the goblin.

Surprisingly, instead of slowing down her momentum and transiting into a stance, Luna had transitted directly into her thrust while increasing her speed.

The goblin did not expect to be rushed at such a high-speed and stiffened at Luna’s rush. Taking this opportunity, Luna aimed at the goblin’s heart which is it’s weak point.

[Assassinate.] (Luna)

Luna threw out her thrust towards the goblin. It was a perfect thrust with the entire body working together with its momentum, concentrating it’s power into the dagger. The skill with the highest power multiplier among all the classes was activated, and a distinct ringing sound resonated.

The goblin whose breast was gouged out by the thrust turned into blue particles with a single blow.

[What talent.. It doesn’t seem balanced for someone to be this talented] (Youya)

Despite just learning the basic thrust this morning, she applied the thrust in addition to a rushing technique. This combination was a powerful combination, be able to perform this meant that her offensive power much higher.

[Youya, I did it!] (Luna)

[I have no words. That was a perfect thrust if I’ve seen one. Be sure to master that thrust by practicing it.] (Youya)

Luna continued searching for enemies with Presence Detection while humming happily.

Despite her looks, she is a frightening girl.

[Luna. Let me teach you how to utilize Presence Detection offensively. Use it to find moving enemies nearby and approach them from the back. Surprise them with a surprise attack. This is the safest way to ensure you land your attack.] (Youya)

[Got it!] (Luna)

This was another one of Luna’s amazing traits.

Flexibility only possible to a Beastman that allows them to run in a way different from humans. She was capable of running without making a single sound as well as hide her presence.

Initially i wanted her to obtain skills to help her stealth movements, however it seems that it wasn’t necessary.

Once again, Luna defeated another goblin.

She followed my instructions and rushed the goblin with a surprise attack. It didn’t realise Luna had approached it up untill it died. I doubt even an average adventurer would notice Luna approaching him. She had a talent befitting of the world’s best assassin.

[Youya, were you watching me!?] (Luna)

[Yeah I was watching. It’s a good move, do not forget that feeling.] (Youya)

[Uhn! I will work even harder!] (Luna)

While I was watching Luna’s movements, I was thinking about how I could learn from her movements. Just how much more could this girl grow? I can’t wait to watch her growth from now on.

However, I can’t let myself be defeated by her.

Her training is sufficient for now. It’s about time for me to start my training. I still have much room to grow. We both, can grow much stronger from now on.
