Chapter 16

**Leader guides Noah and Lisa to the front of the portal**

...

- My companions, today we are going to do what we are used to, we are going to successfully clean this dungeon, and show the leader that even without him, we can take care of a dungeon alone.

- Eeeeeh **Dungeon participants scream and bang their weapons**

"This atmosphere before entering a Portal reminds me a lot of before we went to the battlefield"

- Are you ready boy? **Leader says to Noah**

- Certainly!

- So let's go in.

**Participants enter the Portal and Noah follows them**

"This energy I'm feeling, the feeling of power, I can only imagine what the higher rank dungeons will be like, and what my experience at the gym will be like"

- Noah, from here things will get dangerous, so stay with the hunter Lisa, behind our group.

- OK!

**Noah crosses through the other members of the group until he reaches Lisa, who was at the rear of the group**

- Hi, the leader told me to stay here with you.

- Yes, it was I who made that request, where the vanguard team is very dangerous, even for me.

- Is it dangerous even for a 'Rank D' hunter?

- For sure, dungeons are no joke, even if you have a relatively high Rank, you can't let it go to your head, monsters are unpredictable.

**After Lisa said this a 'Huge Bang' echoed through the portal**

- What was this? **Noah asks Lisa, who looked scared**

- It must be nothing, let's just move on.

- OK...

"I didn't feel confident in that answer..."

- Miss Lisa, the leader is calling you on the front lines. **A fat man with a beard speaks to the huntress**

- Okay, I'll go there, keep an eye on the boy for now.

- Okay...

- Hey kid, I heard you're not even a hunter yet.

- I'm not, why?

- Nothing, it's just that it's very dangerous to have a child in a 'Raid'.

- ...

- And even more, just to observe...

- And? I'm not interfering with anything, and as I said, I'm just watching.

- I'm not saying it's a problem, but if your parents let a child come in a dangerous 'Raid', maybe they want to get rid of you...

- Maybe it is, but you should look at yourself in the mirror, someone accepts you in a "Dangerous Raid"... Maybe someone is trying to get rid of you...

- What did you say?!

- Hey, get ready, there's something coming... **Said another hunter, interrupting the dialogue**

**Another boom echoes, along with a tremor that was getting stronger and closer**

"Something Big Is Coming"

-Ztztztz **A loud noise of small things is heard**

- It's a horde of goblins get ready! **A hunter yells making everyone get into combat stance**

-A-5 training! **Says the leader of the group**

**All hunters enter a combat formation, with rankers at the front putting up a wall of shields, and those doing damage a little further back**

"A horde of goblins..."

**The goblins run closer and jump with their small daggers on the tankers' shield wall, being repelled**

"It seems that this group has a good formation, this type of formation must be common among hunters"

- Hey boy, stay behind us and nothing will happen to you.

- OK!

- Guys, prepare for the attack! **Says the leader**

- 3...

- two...

**Tankers lower their shields and start swapping positions**

- 1!!!

**The people in the raiding party advance attacking the goblin horde with full force, while the tankers go to the back lines and protect the healers, who try to heal the raiding party**

- That's the power of a boy guild!

- Really impressive.

"Even though these 'Goblins' seem to be weak, they are too many, which makes combat difficult"

**At this moment a goblin escapes the attack and passes by the tanks that were with their guard down, due to the confidence in the attacking group, the goblin goes towards a boy with a staff, a healer**

"Don't they see that goblin?"

**Healer yells for help, and soon the tankers look up, they run to try to protect the healer but they are not fast enough**

- Shit!

**Noah uses 'flash' and shoots at high speed towards the goblin, Noah and pastes his body making it like a shield, and gives the goblin a shoulder, which with the impact moves away from the healer, which allows the tankers to arrive and kill the goblin**

- Until the kid isn't so bad **A tanker says going back to his position**

- Thank you boy, you possibly saved my life!

- It was nothing...

"My expectations in this group have dropped drastically, how can they leave the healer unprotected like that"

"I hope they can defeat the boss"

**About two minutes passed and the raiding party managed to get rid of the goblin horde**

- Let's meet to resolve some points, come here. **The leader calls the rest of the group**

- Well, today we almost lost the healer, due to an oversight, we almost had a loss, but luckily Noah managed to protect the healer, but as nothing happened I'll let this one pass, let's continue entering the 'Raid' and following the pattern of 'Rank E Raids' the next place we go, is the 'Boss' room.

- Let's recover from the battle now, and then we'll head to the Boss's room...

To be continued...
