Meeting a classmate

Souta saw that the wolves were looking at him with fear in their eyes. He naturally understand why they were looking at him like that. He just killed their leader, the most powerful in their pack.

While they were distracted, Gobu and the rest used this opportunity to kill the two wolves they were battling.

They slashed and stabbed the body of the two wolves.

Souta then turned his attention at the two wolves that was protecting the pups. He approached them and they became agitated. They growl at him angrily, trying to scare him away.

He looked at the two wolves and used his Appraisal.

[Ash wolf level 9]

[Ash wolf level 9]

Both of them were level 9. A single level was enough and they will evolve into a higher being. Unfortunately, they will die before they evolve.

The two wolves couldn't handle it anymore as they pounced at him at the same time.

Souta brandished his sword and cut the two without efforts. They wouldn't reach him with their current level. They would have a chance if they evolve form but not in that form.

[Experience points gained!]

[Experience points gained!]

Suddenly, a bright light illuminated the whole area. He squinted his eyes and turned around.

"Leader! Gobu is..." Gobe said but Souta interrupted him before he could finished his sentence.

"Don't worry, Gobu is just evolving." Souta said. He didn't know if Gobu will evolve into a Greater Goblin or Hobgoblin. He guess that it's Hobgoblin as many Goblin choose this path.

"What?! Gobu is..." Gobe said with an amazed expression.

"Huh? Didn't you hear what leader said? Leader said that Gobu is evolving!" Gobi said loudly to Gobe.

"I heard it but..." Gobe kept his eyes at the evolving Gobu.

"Then, shut up!" Gobi shouted at Gobe.

Gobb looked at these two, who were always bickering at each other, with a dumbfounded expression.

Souta ignored these Goblins as he focused his attention on the evolving Gobu.

A white silk slowly covered Gobu's body. The white silk was emitting a strange energy. In just a few moments, it already covered Gobu's body.

"Gobb and Gobo! You two must protect Gobu while Gobi and Gobe will carry Gobu!" Souta command his squad.

""Yes, Leader!"" Gobi and Gobe stopped bickering and they nodded at Souta.

""Yes, Leader!"" Gobb and Gobo said at the same time.

Souta looked at his squad and use appraisal on them. The Goblins immediately felt it when he used Appraisal to them but he was their leader so they let him be.

[Gobo (Goblin) level 9]

[Gobi (Goblin) level 8]

[Gobe (Goblin) level 7]

[Goba (Goblin) level 7]

[Gobb (Goblin) level 6]

It seems that the one who's going to evolve next was Gobo. He would first checked what's going to happened to Gobu at the nest before he let Gobo evolve.

An idea came to his mind. He wouldn't go back to the nest for now. They would stay at his previous nest but first he need to checked it first if some monsters already occupied that nest.

He wouldn't let that Ogre took control of Gobu. He was the one who trained Gobu not that Ogre.

He turned his head and saw that the two pups were still at their position. One of the pups was calm but the other one was trembling in fear.

Suddenly, the calm pup opened it's mouth and said something that stunned him.

"Yo! Souta Kiyomi! It's been a while!"

Souta was stunned when he heard the wolf talked to him. It's not surprising to see a monster talk. If Goblins have their own language then other monster too have their own. Especially, those higher being. But... The thing that made him surprised was that the language that the wolf spoke.

"I can see that you're surprise. You can appraise me if you have appraisal skill." The pup said to him.

Souta used appraisal on the pup that talked to him.

[Tsubasa Tetsui (Ash wolf) level 4]

"Tetsui?!" Souta exclaimed in shocked.

"That's right, I'm Tetsui." The pup nodded at him.

Tetsui Tsubasa was a student of class 3-B. He's Souta's classmates back in Earth. A lazy man who's always sleeping in class. Despite being like that, Tetsui was always in the ranking of top students in the whole year.

"If you're here then..." Souta said.

"That's right! There's a possibility that all of us reincarnated into this world." Tetsui nodded at him.

"Still, you've become a pup now..." Souta said while looking at Tetsui's form.

"I should say the same to you! It seems that you've adapted pretty well in this life." Tetsui said to him as he closed his eyes. He added, "I want to ask one question?"

"Tell me." Souta nodded.

Tetsui opened one of his eyes and looked at Souta in the eyes. He asked, "Do you plan to go back to Earth?"

"Yeah. I will do anything I have to do to go back to Earth. I will find a way because there's still someone waiting for me." Souta answer without hesitation.

"Even if you're a monster." Tetsui said.

"Yes. No matter what, I will go back." Souta nodded with determination burning in his eyes.

Tetsui sighed and said, "I will follow you. I don't want to stay here in this world forever. Your level is higher than me so I'm counting on you. I will help you with everything I could."

"It looks like you want to pass all the work to me." Souta said.

"No, that's just your imagination. After all, I want get strong to regain my peaceful and lazy life." Tetsui shook his head.

Tetsui was just reborn recently and couldn't do anything when he was still a pup. The adult wolf wouldn't let him do anything. So, he just enjoyed his lazy lifestyle as the adult wolf brought back food to him and the rest of the pups.

Souta looked at the other pup. He said, "and this..."

"She's my sister. We're born in the same mother. Well, that's it." Tetsui replied to him.

"Mother? Then, one of this is you mother?" Souta turned his head at the dead wolves.

"No, my mother is in the nest. This adult wolves were just teaching the two of us how to hunt." Tetsui shook his head.

Souta nodded at he listened to him.

Tetsui began to explain about the wolves standing in their nest.

The one that Souta met was just a leader of a single squad. The Alpha was staying at the nest protecting the children and the old. It was the same as Goblins. They also have their own hunting squad and the evolve wolves were the leader of the squad. Pretty much the same as Goblins if Souta were to say it.

"Do you have a plan?" Tetsui asked him after he finished explaining about wolves.

"Yeah, I will level up until I've become strong enough to conquer this place then go to the surface." Souta said.

Tetsui sighed when heard his words. He smiled bitterly and said, "I will gladly help you, my fellow classmate."

"Yeah. I will accept your help." Souta smile and said.

He then turned around and face his squad. He said, "These two pups will join our group from now on!"

The Goblins were shocked at his words. They didn't think that Souta wouldn't kill these two pups. He even let them join their squad.

"Leader, that would make..." Goba said.

Souta looked at Goba and nodded. "That's right! Lord Jabuzi will became our enemy!"

For Jabuzi, all other monsters was just their food. He wouldn't let any other species join the nest.

"Still, would you follow me my comrades?" Souta said to his squad.

"Leader is so awesome!" Gobe exclaimed loudly.

"I'll follow you leader!" Gobi said.

The other Goblins also expressed their willingness to follow him.

Souta smiled seeing this. He didn't waste his time training them.

Today was the day that he walked the path to become the ruler of monsters, the Monster Lord.
