Tetsui looked at Gobu who was covered in white silk emitting a dim white light. He wondered if he's going to evolve too if he reach level 10. He learned from Souta that Goblin's requirements for evolution was level 10. He wondered if he's the same.
He never thought that he would reincarnated in another world. For him, this kind of thing was impossible to happened. He was the type of person that never believe in ghost and other supernatural. At first, he thought that he was only having a dream but now, he could accept the reality in front of him.
He just want to rest comfortably in his soft bed but why did this happened to him. Why him? There's so many people in Earth that want to reincarnated in another world but not him. He was about to go to a university next year to get a job with high salary and after that he will live a comfortable life. That's his plan but why did this happened to him. He was frustrated. He already planned everything but this reincarnation shit destroyed all of his plan in his life...
Then, he found out that he was not the only person that reincarnated in this world. His classmate, Souta Kiyomi, was the same as him. Both of him Souta only remembered that everything when black that day at their room. In other words, everyone in the classroom including their teacher were reborn here in other words.
He glanced at Souta. He know little of this classmate of him. He only saw that saw rarely talk to anyone in the classroom. It's not that Souta was a loner. He remembered that he saw Souta waiting for someone in All-girls school. He recall that Hiiro, their classmates, sometimes talk to Souta. Well, Hiiro treated everyone in the classroom as his friend including him.
Recalling Hiiro, he couldn't help but sighed. That man was a straight forward type. Hiiro was the type of "do first, think later." One of the most talkative classmates of his. He couldn't handle that type.
Well, enough thinking about troublesome things. Let's get some rest for now.
He shook his head and closed his eyes. He went back to sleep.
...
Souta looked at Soka, who fell asleep in his arms. He carefully placed her on the ground next to Tetsui. He stood up and he walked inside the nest.
He thought that those people who massacred every Goblin here must be powerful. If someone that powerful was here then he wouldn't be able to escape their senses. He guess that his mother spared him.
He patted his head and plucked his hair. He looked at the hair on his palm. The color of his hair was still black, the same when he was still a human. He then looked at his body. He was only wearing a ragged cloth on his lower body. He don't have any proper clothes here and food. The meat of the monsters here was awfully bad. It's really hard to live as monster.
He walked around and planned that this will become his, no, their base of operation. It was a little close to Jabuzi's nest but that's not a problem for him. The only one who know this place was Jack and nothing else. It would take them some time before they discovered this place.
After he checked that there's nothing else inside the nest, Souta went outside. He looked at Gobb and Gobo, who were guarding the entrance of the nest.
After Gobu evolve to Hobgoblin next is Gobo.
"Good job! Notify me immediately if you saw someone." Souta said as he went back inside the nest.
""Yes, leader!"" Gobb and Gobo said at the same time.
Souta looked at Gobu and noticed that the white silk was starting to have a crack.
"Finally, it will be done..." Souta muttered while looking at Gobu.
The crack started to spread on the whole body of Gobu. The light started to dim as the crack slowly spread out.
Crack!
Like a fragile glass the white silk broke and it revealed Gobu.
Gobu slowly opened his eyes and looked at his body. He moved his hands and peel off the remaining white silk on his body.
Souta observed Gobu. He grew two feet taller from before. He was now taller than him by an inch. Gobu wasn't a skinny Goblin anymore as Souta could see the muscle on his body.
Souta then checked him using his appraisal.
[Gobu(Hobgoblin) level 10]
As expected most of the Goblins choose Hobgoblin as their evolve form. Most of the Goblins choose Hobgoblin as their evolve form. Souta haven't saw a Greater Goblin here in the Labyrinth.
Gobu felt the appraisal Souta used on him. He lifted up his head and saw Souta.
"Leader!" He quickly greeted Souta.
"Congratulations for becoming a Hobgoblin!" Souta congratulated him for evolving.
"Wow! Already became a Hobgoblin!" Gobe said in admiration. He couldn't wait to become a Hobgoblin.
"I think that you're the last who's going to become a Hobgoblin." Gobi said from his side.
"What did you say?!" Gobe shouted at Gobi.
The two started bickering like they always do.
Souta sighed when he heard those two. He looked at Gobu and said, "Come, follow me! I will tell you something!" He then turned around and went deeper in the nest.
"Yes!" Gobu nodded and followed behind Souta leaving the two who were still bickering.
...
Souta explained to Gobu what they're gonna do. He told him that they leave the nest and was going to take over the nest.
"So what are you going to do? Are you still going to follow me?" Souta asked Gobu. He looked at Gobu waiting for his answer.
"Yes, leader! I will follow you! You're the one who gave me a name!" Gobu said without hesitation.
'How's the name connected to this?' Souta thought when he heard Gobu's words. He then smiled as he felt satisfied at Gobu's answer.
"I'm satisfied at your answer. You can go now." Souta said to Gobu.
Gobu bowed at him and he left.
Souta watched his back as he disappeared in the dark. After a few moments he saw Tetsui walked towards him.
"So what are going to do now?" Tetsui asked Souta while looking at Gobu's back.
"I'm going to help the others evolve." Souta replied.
"Evolution, huh?" Tetsui said.
"Yeah. After we take over Jabuzi's nest we will try to find a way out of this Labyrinth." Souta said.
"Yeah. I want to go outside and get some fresh air. I haven't see the starry night for while." Tetsui said.
"Me too." Souta said.
"Why are you bent on taking over that nest?" Tetsui asked.
"Why? Hmmm... I have a feeling that I need to conquer that nest to receive some title. Up until now, we don't have any idea how to get a job and a title from the system. Of course, that's the first reason. The second is that there's captured women out there. Seeing that scene making me want to puke." Souta said.
"Hmm... We're still human in soul after all. I would have feel the same when I saw that too." Tetsui said.
"Well, there will be a time that we will get use to something like that. We're monsters now not human. Humans wouldn't hesitate to cut us down if they met us. That's why we need to prepare ourselves when that time comes." Souta said.
"Let's stop talking about that kind of things." Tetsui said.
"Yeah." Souta nodded.
"I wonder how's our other classmates." Tetsui muttered.
They don't know that the others were still in the womb of their mother waiting to be born. They will live a life as human, elves, and other races. They received a boost because of their race. They didn't need wait for nine months to be born and almost one year to be able to walk.
