All eyes came on Will.
"Well.....you see i'm a G rank mage and hence can only use my spell 7-8 times because of the mana restriction. Furthermore, my main job is to protect "MISS" Nora, aka our healer. If I'll use my spell everytime we face monster, then I would get depleted fast and then would just be a baggage for the team."
"Worse, I may not be able to protect Nora when we are in a dire situation."
"Also, you three were fighting so close to the goblins, that if I used my spell, it could have hit you too. This would have made our situation even worse."
Will shrugged his shoulder after saying all this.
There was pindrop silence.
This was because none could refute what Will had said, as it was completely valid.
"Uhm.. uhmm" Ren fake coughed.
"Yes, yes you are right. I was just testing you, you know to know if you know your role and when to use your spell" With this Ren started moving forward.
'Damn this Will. Embarrassed me in front of Miss Nora. Just you wait Will, to even things out even I'm going to embarrass you in front of her' Ren had a big smile while thinking all this.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
The team was resting.
After their first encounter, they had met a group of 2-3 goblins few more times.
They also met some F rank Snakes and wolves, who came individually.
Ren, Ash and Alice had to fight all of them.
Their coordination had improved much better but still they had a few slip ups here and there sometimes.
Because of these slipups Nora had to heal them a few more times.
Though resting, all three of them had a sullen expression while looking at Will.
Currently Will was yawning and stretching.
For this whole time, he had not used his spell even once as there was no opportunity to use it.
Hence, while these 3 fought with their lives, he would stand behind Nora and just be a mute spectator.
'Aah there is nothing better than free money.'Will smiled.
Yes even though he had done nothing, but Miss Tracy had said in the beginning that, the money would be distributed equally between the members and hence he would also get a share, that too without even lifting a finger till now.
'This Will...I hope we get a situation where he would have to use his spell. I pretty much can guess that he would panic and miss his target. Who knows maybe he would get directly attacked by a monster, thus humiliating himself in front of Miss Nora....Please just one situation would be enough please'
Maybe Ren's wish was heard by the forest as while they were resting 5 goblins came in front of them.
-------------------------
-------------------------
"Ash, Alice get in formation" Ren shouted while taking out his sword.
The 5 goblins were eyeing Will and the others.
Then the 1 at the back - probably their leader, gave some commands to the goblins.
"Kueckk" "Kueckkkkkkk"
All 5 goblins started running towards the three.
"Ash and Alice take care of 3 goblins, while I'll take care of the other two" Ren shouted.
Though the situation was tense, Ren had a smile on his face.
'Perfect, I'll try to bring both goblins near Will and then completely concentrate on just one of them. I'm pretty sure that the other would run towards Will, after seeing that he doesnt have any weapon in his hand'
CLASH CLASH
Ash and Alice were fighting 3 goblins including their leader.
Ren was easily managing both the goblins but was not killing them.
He had gotten many opportunities to kill, but still he missed them and kept moving back.
Will could see this and could sense what Ren actually wanted to do.
"That idiot" Nora spoke. Even she understood what Ren's plan actually was.
"Haha it's fine" Will spoke to Nora and then came in front of her.
Ren through his sideview could see Will coming in front of Nora.'Perfect. Now the goblin just has to look towards Will and it will definitely chase him'
Ash and Alice were having a hard time managing 3 goblins. But they still had an upper hand and it was clear that they'll be able to kill all 3 of them with a little more time.
The goblins leader understood this too. Honestly it was regretting attacking these humans and just wanted to escape to save himself.
While fighting the goblin's position had become such that all 5 of them were in middle of the 5 humans.
He looked in it's side and saw 2 of his partners being easily handles by a single human.
He then looked at his back and saw a lone boy and girl without any weapons who were not doing anything.
His eyes shined. With his small goblin brain he came to the conclusion that they didnt know how to fight and hence to escape it would be better if he and one more goblin ran in that direction, killed them both and escape into the jungle from the back.
