Chereads / The Battle Junkie Redo / Chapter 4 - First Fight

Chapter 4 - First Fight

'Man, what a cliched way to get two cool-looking swords. But it's so worth it.' He puts the two swords on both of his sides and imagines fighting a dragon with these two bad boys, 'Anyways, where am I.' Luke looks around and notices that he is in a forest with huge trees 30 meters tall. 'Damn, those are the biggest trees I have ever seen. Wow, everything in this world is so cool. To make this really awesome, I wish some monsters could show up.' And as if god was listening, three green monsters with tiny daggers come out of the bushes. The one who looks to be the leader steps forward and tries to intimidate the person in front of him.

"Holy shit! It's a real-life goblin. OMG, it is so ugly, and he is shorter than me." somehow, Luke was a fanboy and a hater at the same time.

The goblins felt angry at being humiliated and decided to attack this person. While Luke was making fun of them, the goblins looked at each other, and without saying anything, the leader of the group moved close enough to attack him. And when he did, he lunged at Luke trying to stab him.

*Slabbed*

Blood scattered everywhere, and the once-laughing Luke stopped. That day Luke died in the first 1 hour of his new life breaking the record for the person's shortest second life.

...

I'm just kidding he didn't die.

The two goblins were surprised to see their friend get stabbed through the chest by Luke's black sword. But the one who is the most surprised is... Luke, who didn't even know what happened. 'What happened? What did I do? Did I do that? Didn't the Luke from this world have a swordsman skill maybe this body did it on... what was the word instance. instind, instinct yes, that was it.' Luke put on a grin.

Luke who did not know he had a huge grin, scared the goblins into backing up a few steps. Confused about why they are backing up he starts talking to them.

"Why are you backing away? Come back, let's fight, don't run!" Luke yelled angrily, running to the goblins with both swords in his hand.

The goblins looked at the human in fear, and that grin looked like a demon had shown up in the place of a human kid.

"Graaa!" The goblins yelled.

For some reason, their instinct told them to run away from a crazy human kid. As creatures that rely on their crafty wits and instinct, they trust their instinct more than their own families.

"Don't run! Entertainment me more!" Luke screams while going to chase after them but-

*Thud*

As Luke tried to chase after the goblins, he fell face-first into the dirt. 'Ugh. I'm still not used to running, and they are getting away. Cowards! Man, my first fight, and they ran away. Bummer!' Luke thought when he saw the two goblins running away, not even looking back when he fell. As he stands up, he notices the black sword that he had stabbed the first goblin with and checks the details. The grip is nicely done, with no tsuba between the blade and the grip, it was a straight blade with no curve to it, and almost all of the blade color was different shades of black.

Then Luke looks at this other sword. It's different from the first one. The scabbard is curved instead of straight, the grip is the same, and it has a tsuba. It was a katana and chokutō, two weapons that are opposites to each other.

"Tch, those stupid goblins can't even fight back. Well, it's fine I can always find more. Still, why did they run? Maybe they were scared of me and my awesome strength. Yes, that is the reason you know my genius it frightens me. You can call me the monster's monster, ohh that's catchy I'm going to trademark that."

...

"I need some help here!" random man 1

"Hold on! I'm trying to help you and not get killed here." random man 2

"Well, hurry your arse up! I'm going to die here!" random man 1

"Can you guys please stop fighting? And fight the goblins in front of us."

"SHUT UP Cain! You can't talk to us, you got a girlfriend before us, and you are the youngest out of us, so you deserve the death penalty!" They said at the same time.

After a few minutes, they finished the battle against 7 goblins.

"Haa haa. That was a hard fight." random man 1

"Damn right. Took some years off my life." random man 2

"Mr. Wilson, can you warn me next time, when you go to the frontlines? Please." Cain said with a mean look.

"Sorry, sorry, I will do it next time."

"Fine, but I will not let you go off easily next time if you do it again."

Without them noticing, a small boy hiding behind a tree takes notes of the fight they just had against the goblins. 'Wow! They move so differently from how the movies show them. So this is the difference between movies and real life... this is so exciting. Well, I better get out of here before they notice me.'

*Thud*

Luke fell, face first the second time. This startled the party into their battle formation.

"Who's there?!" screamed Mr. Wilson

"Nobody!" Luke hurriedly yelled

"..."

"..."

"Ok, thank god there was no one there. I'm kinda tired from the last fight." Mr. Wilson joked

'Ok, good they believe me. Now to escape.' Luke thought

"If you don't come out here right now, then I'm going to start coming to you."

'Why make sound so weird! Damn, they found me out. No wonder their hunters because how could they find out my secret technique even the doctors couldn't find out that fast.'

After a few moments, Luke pops out of the trees he was hiding in and shows himself at the party.

"Wow! It's a kid look at that Jason."

"Hey, kid! What are you doing here? This is for grown-ups." Jason said with a worried tone in his voice.

"I'm not a kid... I'm 16 and I can be here if I want to the law said so." Luke said with a hint of an angry tone in his voice.

"Your 16! Yeah right, let me see your ID." Mr. Wilson yelled with

"Here it is. If you can see then you will know I'm 16."

"Wow! Mr. Wilson, he really is 16."

"Yeah, your right... I'm sorry about that, you just look like... a child."

Luke was surprised that he said that. Back in the other world, he was a little bit short, but here, he was a child. 'I can't believe I'm short. Is this what 5.4ft people feel like?'
