Looking at the goblins that ranked up reminded Joshua of his own status that he hadn't check out in a while.

'I gained nine levels and my Light Shroud skill leveled up once.'
'Ugh...Not even ten levels. Of those nine levels I probably got a few of them from the creatures I killed on the way.'
'I guess that means that I only got a very small amount of achievements for saving the goblins.'
'I mean it's to be expected really, as I didn't kill any of the Pigmen leaders so the threat wasn't eliminated.'
'There goes my hope of getting a [Hero] title. Dreams are wonderful, but reality just keeps bonking me in the head. *sob*'
'Anyways I'm curious at what skills this goblin got when she evolved into a lesser nymph.'
Joshua approaches behind the light green goblin that looked much prettier that her fellow brethren.
"Hello lesser nymph, I am curious about your skills. If you don't mind could you share them with me? Of course if you want to keep them private I can understand."
"Ah! Lord benefactor! You scared me." The little nymph didn't notice Joshua and was shocked.
"Of course Lord benefactor it would me my honor."
My sk-
The little nymph was about to explain her skills to Joshua, but she was interrupted by Joshua.
"Wait. No need to call me Lord benefactor. I feel uncomfortable, you can call me Joshua or Josh. That goes for the rest of the goblins as well."
"Understood Lord Joshua."
Joshua still couldn't get used to the Lord part, but just left it be.
"When I was born I was lucky enough to be graced with an inherit skill. My inherit skill was called 'Wind Blade' which let me shoot a sharp blade of wind at my enemies."
"Die to the frequent attacks on our tribe, I have been able frequently put the skill to use. I also use it to cut trees for the tribe further allowing me to practice the skill."
"Before I knew it the skill had leveled up to max, but I had not yet racked up enough achievements to rank up yet."
"That was until we survived the attack from the Pigmen tribe just yesterday. I had finally reached level 100 and was able to rank up into a 2 star life form."
"When I ranked up my inherit skill had evolved into 'Air Cutter' and I gained the skill 'Wind Barrier' from evolving into a lesser nymph."
'Her inherit skill evolved? I'm jelly...(jealous)'
"I have yet to test out any of my new skills, but I could do that now to show Lord Joshua if you would like."
"That would be great!" Joshua responded at the opportunity to watch real elemental magic in person (Joshua felt that his Light Absorption and Shroud skills just didn't feel like magic).
"Ah! Before that could you tell me your name? I can't just keep calling you lesser nymph now can I?"
"I apologize, but I do not have a name." She responded. "It is tradition for all beasts to give themselves names when they feel they are worthy of one."
"I still feel that I am not yet worthy of a name, so if Lord Joshua doesn't mind then keep calling me nymph would do."
"That's fine, then nymph can you lead us to a spot where we can test your skills now?" Joshua's eyes were practically shining at this point.
"Of course just follow me Lord Joshua." Though nymph was also excited to try out her new skills she also was aware that she couldn't try them out in the village.
Joshua followed nymph as they walked a bit away from the village to try out nymph's new skills. A few goblins also tagged along to watch the show as well.
They had traveled a considerable distance that was not too close to the village that it would disturb it, but also not too far that they couldn't retreat if they met with danger.
"Here should be perfect. I ask my fellow brethren and Lord Joshua to step back a bit in case you get caught up in the skill."
Joshua and the few goblins stepped back and watched in anticipation.
Nymph stretches out both hands, but nothing happens.
At first they were worried that something went wrong, but after a second delay a barrage of five waves of air blades shoot out in succession from nymph's hands.
They travel at a fast speed quickly mowing down several trees in front of nymph.
At this moment Joshua and the few goblins that were present had stars in their eyes. They all thought of the same word at the same moment.
'COOL!'
Nymph turns back with a smiles at the group.
"That was my Air Cutter skill. Not bad huh?"
"Great!"
Joshua responded and the fellow goblins just gave nymph a thumbs up, too speechless to say anything.
"Haha" Nymph chuckles and continues. "Next is my Wind Barrier skill. I can already kind of guess what the skill does from the name, but it's better to test it out now."
Nymph begins to cannel her skill.
Out of nowhere the wind picks up and surrounds nymph. It looked as if the wind was dancing around nymph making her look like a graceful wind fairy prancing in the forest.
