[Kill Count -
29 Slimes
24 Goblins]
Haruki stared at their kills on the holographic screen and whistled, "Not bad for a bunch of newbies." He said with his arms crossed. Meanwhile Rhistel was staring at Jacob kill goblins rather easily. His movements were now smoother compared to before.
She looked beside her and grinned at Haruki who was picking off the stragglers and those who could threaten his teammates with a sharp arrow straight through their temples.
"I'm winning Kaz! Jacob's ahead by five." She said as he slapped him on the back while laughing cockily. "Don't you worry. I can already see trish winning by a mile." He said as he watched trish swing her whip eliminating one goblin at a time whilst panting heavily.
"Well, She looks tired. I'm gonna win this. Still there's more goblins than I expected there to be." While the two were discussing the three were slowly getting swarmed. "Guys a little help here?" Jacob said a little worriedly as he watched Haruki sniped several goblins right in front of him.
"If you kids have time to flirt. How bout giving this old man a hand?" Marco said while punching out goblins near him. Rhistel shot a few arrows that pierced several goblins at once in front of him.
"I bet Marco's the first one to get stabbed in the stomach." Haruki said with a teasing grin as he looked at Marco. Rhistel giggled, "I bet he gets stabbed in the leg!" She said as she put her hand on haruki's shoulders with a teasing grin.
"You guys are betting? We're fighting for our lives here!" Trish said a little miffed as she fought off the goblins. "Relax kiddo! We won't let you guys die." He said as he climbed up a nearby tree and shot arrows covered in thick mana and killed off several goblince in an instant.
The moment he came down from the tree Rhistel slapped him on the head. "Why'd you kill all of them!? What about our bet you fool!?" Haruki started laughing. "Trish was ahead so I had to make sure it stayed that way."
Rhistel's eyes widened. She fumed as she lunged at Haruki trying to bite his face off. "You cheating bastard! Asshole!" She bit his hands as she clung to Haruki. The three stood still as they watched this happen in front of them.
Marco coughed once but he was ignored. Trish slammed her chains on the ground making a distinct cracking sound making the two stop on their tracks. "A bet? A fucking bet? What's this bet about? Were risking our lives here. I can't believe you two are taking this lightly."
The two slowly stood up. Haruki scratched his cheeks, "Relax kid. It's a harmless bet. Besides with Rhistel here. No real harm would come to you. The guild is also observing us from somewhere. Prepared to stop the exam the moment we are in actual danger."
"And that makes it better!? Do you have any idea how tired I am!? Do you have any Idea how scared I am the whole fucking time!?" Trish started shaking as tears started pouring out her eyes. "The moment I killed those goblins, I've been thinking that could be me next, so I sucked it up and kept killing. And you two are making a bet on who gets injured first!?" She was glaring at the two.
"Wait! That's not the bet!" Haruki tried to placate her. However she just ended up glaring at Kaz. "Do you think that was the point!?" She growled. However Kaz slowly approached her. "No... Seriously! We made a bet on who's the best monster hunter in the team!" Trish looked away with a pout while crossing her arms, "So? You bet on yourself?"
Haruki chuckled, "No, kiddo. I bet on you." He said as he patted her head. She looked down annoyed and replied with a soft voice, "Really?" Haruki nodded his head and put a palm on his chest. "Really, Really!"
Trish looked away, "That better be true. But! It's your turn to do the heavy lifting." She said with her arms crossed. Haruki turned to Rhistel and smiled sheepishly, "The bet's off?" Rhistel shrugged and scratched her head, "I Guess it's time we helped a bit. Still I'm surprised that there are so many goblins swarming around."
The two moved in front of the trio and seriously faced the goblins approaching them.
Meanwhile Trish's frown slowly turned into a smile. Jacob saw this and widened his eyes. She looked towards them and grinned, "It's our turn to relax." She said softly.
Haruki and Rhistel turned to one another and laughed, "We heard that kid!" They said in unison. "Well, whatever... an adult's promise is a promise. It's time to show off, Rhistel." He nudged the elf beside him.
Rhistel rolled her eyes at him, "Don't sass me newbie." She said as they heard a loud rumble from the thicket beyond them. From it two Huge goblins jumped out.
Rhistel immediately frowned, "Hobgoblins!? What are they doing here?" She immediately casted a spell. Her elven bow shone with green light.

Two arrows shot forth from her bow and turned into vines covered in thorns and bound the two hobgoblins tightly. She turned towards Haruki, "Well? Newbie? Finish them off."
Haruki shrugged his shoulders and shot two arrows that lodged inside their necks. However the two hobgoblins just started screaming in anger. Haruki furrowed his brows as he approached the two hobgoblins. "Their hides are thicker than I expected." He said as he coated the arrows with mana and pushed it further inside.
He stepped back as snapped his fingers as the arrows exploded in black mana end red lightning instantly killing the two hobgoblins.
"Still... Why are there Hobgoblins here?" Rhistel observed the two corpses as they slowly turned into particles of light. Then her ears twitched. She could hear a loud rumble from a distance.
"Shit! Everyone up the trees now!" She said as she climbed up a tree. She extended a vine made of magic to help the others go up the tree. Then a moment later the rumble grew louder.
It sounded like countless footsteps. Another moment later countless of goblins were swarming. However instead of attacking them they were running away. The four looked at one another. "That might be bad news."
Then from above the skies a loud alarm resounded and a booming mechanical voice resounded across the examination area.
