Day-18 After the abrupt changes of hobumi evolving Rou decided it was best to allow her to hunt so as to regain control over her body. The difference in height and strength could ruin her aim if she wasn't careful.
While me and kichi sparred go warm up which frightened the other goblins due to how savage Kichi is and how ruthless I am in a fight. I would aim for eyes and the groin while clapping his ears and striking his chin. Kichi laughed at how everything got "wobbly" for a while after fighting me.
After Rou completed our gear which made us look like medieval commoners due to their simplicity. I wore a similar outfit to Rou with a shirt, leather vest, pants and leather boots. Mi got a custom dress with the fangs and leather of the bat wings we hunted in bulk that Rou didn't scarf down.
After an hour of walking through the forest we spotted a group of four kobolts. Kichi smashed one with his club, Rou stabbed his through the heart with his estoc, Mi used two daggers and went for the jugular of the dog while I shrouded my new polearm with mana and cut through the kobolts helmet and shield bisecting it. It was a good hunt but I didn't gain any traits. I feel I only gain them from the first meal of a new species and can't stack them like Rou can.
Day 19- we cleaned out the old human habitat so as to salvage the old weaponry which we shared amongst the goblins. Naturally the hobgoblins kept the good stuff. We shared our tips with the new weapons while they tried to offer surplus food but to me it seemed a waste as I could eat more nutritious stuff on my own.
The highlight of the day was to see Rou being strangled by mi to spit out the knife he stuck in his mouth. I made a joke about how he is like an infant sticking everything in his mouth which made the older goblins laugh.
Day 20- this was a great start to the morning as I woke up to see fifty sweaty goblins in horse stance fisting towards me. I almost puked when a bit of their sweat hit me accidentally. Goblins don't smell nice!!!!
We requipped our new gear with me adding a leather pauldron to my left shoulder for some defends but with mana pumping through my muscles it's pretty hard for a kobolt to hit me. We faced about 11 kobolts today but we just mowed them down again. Mi's aim and Rou's leadership has improved but with my pack trait I felt I could follow him better now.
After that we returned to the cave were Rou asked for the magic book. He asked if he could see an example of a spell from the book but I just informed him that all I can do is manipulate mana into my body parts. It won't activate spells for some reason, he looked like he understood something and I heard him mutter "Rock Lee". I was tempted to shout youth at the top of my lungs but was afraid of what would happen to me in my sleep.
Day 21- Rou raised the others training intensity and asked to spar to show off the martial arts we learned. He asked me for a fight which allowed me to confirm how strong I am. In a pure fight with now skills I win hands down but when we fought and Rou got pushed into a corner he used his skills on me like throwing poison from his finger tips or spamming foresight to see my next move.
I was annoyed at that so I left to train on my own by minecrafting...I punched some trees while varying my mana amount so see the effects. Full blown makes the tree disintegrate on impact with a shockwave so I tried to control it so I won't blow a hole in one of the goblins when we fight.
Rou took gobue our with them for the first time, she was so cute in her little bandana and her backpack. I also noticed how her mana was earthy in nature so maybe I can determine who will end up as a lord species and who won't.
Day 22- some goblins talked shit about how they didn't need anymore training so Rou beat them into a pulp today. It was funny to watch him go full WWE on some of them. I noticed he held back on some of the goblinas though which made me narrow my brows. Didn't he have a first night rule or something with the other species later on. Gonna have to stop that because I had some people I want later on.
We then left to hunt more kobolts while I secretly wished for more orcs to arrive. I wanted bacon!!!!! although we did find a kobolt Shaman. I wanted to kill it immediately but Rou stopped so he could see it attack a slime. I myself was curious about its magic so sensed its mana flow when it cast a spell. I tried to copy that while the other four made swift work of them but all I got was a mana concentration at my palm.
I was annoyed so ate some of the meat of the shaman {mana wisdom and mana control traits gained}. I immediately felt how to control my mana better as well as how to more efficiently gather it while meditating. GobuE then found a lot of elemental stones so Rou snacked on them but I asked for one of each and explained my meditation with them like the book says.
When we returned to camp Rou tried to copy me as I absorbed a blue stone {water mana gained, water resistance and cold resistance gained}. So I swiftly moved onto the others while Rou groaned at not being able to do it. I also began snacking on some more meat which led to more traits and skills.
{electric mana gained, electro resistance gained, flame resistance gained, shadow mana gained, light mana gained, shadow resistance gained, light resistance gained, evil eye resistance gained, endurance trait gained}. It was quite a haul that day I'm not gonna lie. I felt that I could minecraft for hours but doing that would leave me mentally drained.
I felt Rou sneak out again with the mana book so I began sensing for mana which is when I felt something disgusting begin to form outside. It was Rou's demise magic and it felt horrible. I know if it touches me I will die or be in immense pain.
