Naming the Goblins

Souta was level 11 right now. From his previous experience he know that he still wasn't a match for the Orc that he saw last time.

He decided to brought his squad outside the nest to gain experience. He walked carefully as he know that he couldn't rely on his squad. He was the strongest here if they met someone who's strength was stronger than him then they were doom.

Souta saw a Giant Hornet. The Hornet was alone and from his previous experience he know that they could kill it. Back in Jack's squad, they hunted this type of monster. They only need to looked for the sting of the Hornet. The sting possessed a strong paralysis effect and a normal Goblin wouldn't be able to move for an entire day if they got stung by it. Other than that, it's pretty weak.

He already map this place inside his head. He already know where he could find a certain monsters in this place. Insect type monsters could be found at the west of the nest. There's a Den of Wolves and Kobold on the east side of the nest. The powerful Orc could be found at the north of the nest with Giant Boar and the pond of the Slime. At the south, the Great Boa, Toad, Lizard, Bats, Alligator, and Rats.

Farther than those place was something that he still don't know. He only managed to explore those place because he was in Jack's squad before. He guess that there's another Goblin Nest farther because of Jabuzi's words.

Souta looked at the single Hornet. He used stealth and slowly hid in the dark. He slowly approached the Hornet.

The Goblins just hide at the back watching him hunt the Hornet.

When Souta reached two meters away from the Hornet, he quickly pulled out his sword and pounced on the Hornet. He stabbed the Hornet before it could even react.

The Hornet died without even knowing who's the one that killed him.

[Experience points gained!]

Souta heard a notification in his mind indicating that he received the experience points. But, he didn't receive the notification of leveling up. It seems that he need to kill a few more monster of this level to level up.

He guess that fighting someone at this level wouldn't pose a problem to his squad.

He pulled out his sword from the Hornet's body and looked at his squad before saying, "Let's go."

""Yes!!"" The Goblins nodded at him and quickly followed behind him.

After a few minutes, they found another Hornet. This time, there were three Hornets. They were carrying a body of a Giant Toad.

Souta looked at his squad and said in a low voice, "I will kill the two and all of you will kill the other one. Attack only after I kill one of them. Did you get it?"

The Goblins nodded at him as they clenched the weapon in their hands.

Souta nodded in satisfaction. It looks like these Goblins understand his instructions. They only rely on instinct but it seems that wasn't the way it looks like when someone managed them.

He once again entered his stealth and slowly approached the three Hornets. He hid in the shadows carefully without even emitting a single sound. When he saw an opportunity he quickly launched himself at the three Hornets.

He raised his sword and stabbed the Hornet that was carrying the body of a Giant Toad. The Hornet turned sideways and it managed to avoid his attack.

Souta then quickly raised his foot and kicked the Hornet.

Bang!!

He immediately jumped and followed the Hornet. Without giving it a chance, he slashed his sword at the Hornet. But, once again the Hornet shifted it's body almost in an instant that he slashed his sword.

Swooosh!!

The Hornet managed to avoid a direct hit but Souta was able to chopped it's wings.

Thud!

The Hornet fell on the ground with a loud sound. The other two Hornet just reacted and it quickly flew towards him.

Souta noticed it so he responded by shouting, "GO!!"

The Goblins that was hiding quickly run towards the Hornet with a weapon in their hands.

"Ahhh!!" They roared as the six of them pounced at one Hornet.

Souta stomped the Hornet on the ground and he slashed it with his sword.

Swoosh!!

Red blood spurted out of Hornet as he cut a deep wound on it's body.

[Experience points gained!]

Souta didn't even checked the notification as he quickly turned his focused to the other Hornet.

The Hornet flew towards him and tried to stung him but he was too agile to be caught by such attack.

Wooosh!! Wooosh!!

He swiftly jump side to side as he dodges every attack that Hornet's made.

"It's time to end this." He said as he avoid the sting and quickly slashed the Hornet with his sword.

Swing!!

[Experience points gained!]

He didn't even level up after killing this Hornet. He looked at their corpse and used appraisal. He saw that these Hornets were level 7 and 8.

He turned his head to his squad and saw that they already finish their opponent. There's no injured. This was a good result.

"Good work everyone." Souta praised them for killing the Hornet. He observed them and said, "Let's continue our hunt."

The Goblins nodded at him.

...

At the end of the day, they managed to kill a lot of monster that Souta expected. The Goblins were already tired so they returned to the nest. They brought some of the monster they killed back to the nest. If this was the other squad they would returned once they hunted two or three monsters. That's why some of the Goblins were still low in level. They don't understand the meaning of experience points.

The good thing was that no one died in his squad. Although, there's a problem in their teamwork but they could adapt to it in time. The only problem was that he didn't level up this time. He needs a lot of experience points the more higher his level.

The Goblins managed to level up in their hunt.

Souta gathered his squad in front of him.

He looked at them one by one and said, "Today, I'm going to give you a name."

The Goblins didn't even show their emotions at having a name.

"It's hard to call you without having a name so I decided that I shall give you one." Souta said to them.

He looked at the tallest Goblin and said, "From today onwards you will be called Gobu."

The Goblin nodded at him in a respectful way. He acknowledged the name that his leader have given him.

Souta noticed that there's a little changes in his appraisal so he decided to checked it.

[Gobu (Goblin) level 8]

He could see the name that he had given to the Goblin in the interface. He nodded in satisfaction since he acknowledged the name that he had given.

Gobu was the highest level in the squad before him. He was level 7 previously but due to constant hunting he level up to 8.

He looked at the Goblins and proceed to name them.

"You! From now on your name is Gobo. You, Gobi.... Gobe... Goba... Gobb..." Souta didn't think through about their names as he just given them the names that comes into his mind.

[Gobo (Goblin) level 7]

[Gobi (Goblin) level 7]

[Gobe (Goblin) level 6]

[Goba (Goblin) level 5]

[Gobb (Goblin) level 5]

Souta almost want to laughed when he saw this but he restraint himself from doing so. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

He should rest for now and start hunting tommorow.
