Although Jack had already made up his mind on attacking the two goblins and grabbing the katana, he still didn't have any idea on how to go about it. frowning his brows deep in thought, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind causing him to immediately turn and stare at the two goblins for over 5 seconds which in turn caused an interface to appear in front of him.

A status window similar to his had appeared in front of him showing him the entire status of both goblins minus the traits and skills which showed question marks.
Jack was able to view the status of both goblins but unfortunately he wasn't opportune enough to feel excited about it as he was busy rolling on the floor with both hands holding onto his head while trying his possible best to hold back his scream, his head felt like his brain was on fire.
The pain only lessen after Jack had endured 5 minutes of constant agony, allowing him to think back to the status of both goblins he had seen earlier. Remembering the 'Goblin Warrior' and 'Goblin Ranger' he saw at their 'Designation' made him finally understood what it stood for.
Designation here had the same role as occupation, class or job in regular 'RPG' games Jack had always played. Upon knowing the attribute of each goblin, Jack silently brought up his own status window to compare his attributes with theirs.

Jack was a little surprised noticing that his mana had increased but he didn't have the brain power to spare on thinking about how it had done so as his mind had just formulated a plan on how to easily deal with the goblins stand in between him and his katana.
Searching the floor around his foot, Jack picked up a broken piece of tiles and threw it towards a partly damaged showcase. Bang! the sound of glass shattering echo through out the entire floor drawing the attention of both goblins.
Due to their limited intelligence, both monsters quickly ran towards the source of the noise without hesitation, allowing Jack to easily grab the katana and hide behind a corner ready to ambush them.
Using that opportunity to Stare at the katana for 5 seconds thus bring up its info on a holographic interface.
[ Steel Heart ]
Type: Weapon ( Katana )
Grade: Common
Rating: D+
Description: A Japanese masterpiece made from refined steel. A popular sword known as a katana used by the Japanese during the Edo period.
Jack nearly jumped out of happiness after seeing the weapon rating and description but manage to hold back upon noticing that both goblins after roaming around the shattered showcase without any catch were now returning to finish their meal while grumbling.
Jup! a katana pierce through the chest of a goblin and came out from its back the very moment it walked pass jack hiding spot. The sudden death of its companion had frighten the remaining goblin a lot but upon finding out its assailant was just another weak human it could easily prey on, excitedly, it lifted up its wooden club and swung it at Jack.
Jack on the other hand was still surprised about how easily his katana had pierce through the goblin chest and heart as he knew that no matter how frail a human body seems to be, his previous attack wouldn't accomplish the same result. But after giving it a little thought, he discovered the weak goblin constitution of 0·6 points to be the cause.
Such a discovery scared the shit out of him as he remembered having only 0·7 points in constitution. Instantly, he regretted always going hungry on trying to save more money and not taking good care of his body. Of course, all this isn't his fault since as an orphan with nobody to rely on other than himself, he had to always plan ahead.
At that moment, a wooden club landed heavily on his rib cage. Bam! Forcing Jack who was still in lost thought back to reality and also take a couple of back. "Fuck" Jack cursed out loud as he vomited a mouth full of blood.
Never take your attention off your opponent in a fight is the first lesson everyone who has ever fought must learn before fighting. Unfortunately for Jack, he had learned it the hard way and also paid a price for it.
The goblin attack earlier had broken a couple of his ribs causing him to constantly place his left hand on it and slightly bend his body forward to relieve certain amount of the pains he felt.
Of course such an action had disrupted Jack speed and the power behind his attacks, he didn't have any choice. Raising up the katana he held with his right hand, Jack pointed it at the goblin standing right in front of him.
A clear sign of provocation, which enraged the goblin causing it to charge at Jack while swinging its wooden club in a frenzy manner. "Left, right, left, left, jump" Jack kept calling out all his actions as he easily evaded the enraged goblin attacks.
Although he and the goblin had equal attribute point in agility, due to his 0·9 points in perception, he could easily perceive the goblin angle of attack and move out of it's range.
"I can't let this drag on anymore" Jack thought inwardly as a sharp look appeared on his face. Flicking his wrist, Jack's katana parried away the wooden club of the goblin causing it to stumble. But due their differences in strength attribute, Jack's right hand became numb.
Before the goblin could react, he already landed a horizontal slash on it's neck nearly beheading it in a single move with katana now held in his left hand.
