The Guild Master just stood there trying to comprehend what Loki just said about already being at 10% understanding. Loki also stood there wondering why the Guild master is being so quiet so he asks again, "Is training over because I reached 10% understanding? Did I pass?"
The Guild Master barely registers the question again but gives a slight nod to answer that Loki did in fact finish training. Receiving the go ahead to leave, probably, Loki starts to head back to the Adventurer's Guild.
Walking back into the main room with the commission board, Loki notices Estrella waiting for them to return. Loki talks to Estrella about taking new quests now that he is D rank, "What quests should I take now that I've become promoted, it was suggested to take a C-rank quest but idk which ones could be good, do you have any ideas?"
Estrella begins to think before saying her suggestion, "There is one that isn't too bad, it's called Goblin Village, where you'll have to take on a whole village of goblins but they are very individual fighters so they'll be easy to pick off one-by-one."
Loki remembers looking at that the other day and thinks about it a little before agreeing to accept the quest. After going through the easy process of accepting his first C-rank quest, Loki heads back to the Forge to talk to Ignatius about his new Nature spells.
After spending the rest of the day talking to Ignatius about his training. Once he's done his C-rank quest, he'll come back to do more blacksmithing. Before bed, Loki asks Ignatius, "How do I repair my armor incase it gets damaged?"
"Well, a lot of it is just polishing but you just need to grab some extra material your armor is made out of and repair the spots and buff out the damages, it's simple, but I can show you another time." Replied Ignatius.
After ending the conversation there, a new day starts and Loki wakes up refreshed and ready to take on his next challenge. First, Loki wants to grab some supplies and after learning about the existence of mana potions, he wants to obtain some before heading out.
Leaving towards the market, Estrella told him that he can buy them from the general store. The same one that Martin was creating a ruckus at, however, Loki can only buy Basic ones at a general store, restoring only 200 Mana instead of 500 from the Intermediate one.
Each bottle of Basic Mana Potions are 400 gold, Loki decides to buy 10 bottles for 4,000 gold. Loki starts to head back towards the Adventurer's Guild to take the goblin village quest. After heading in and talking to Estrella a little more while registering the quest, he learns that it's a 5 hour carriage ride from here.
However, before leaving, the Guild Master returns in time to catch Loki before leaving, and walks up to him and says, "You're quite the pupil kid, you deserve these for the quest you're going on."
Guild Master Chris handed Loki 5 intermediate mana potions and started to walk away as Loki quickly expressed their thanks and started to head out towards the carriage service and ask for a ride towards the Goblin Village.
Paying 200 gold for a 6 hour ride, Loki heads out and thinks of his gold reserves but not enough that Loki would rather walk. On the ride to the Village, Loki takes another look at the quest he's doing in more detail.
[Quest: Goblin Village]
Description: Find and defeat the Elite Goblin in the Goblin Village outside of the Forest of Kraymer
Req. Rank: C (100 points)
Reward: 2,000 gold
Loki has to defeat the Elite Goblin inside the Village, which means he will have to fight his way inside. Thinking of the slow and steady approach, 6 hours pass in a flash and Loki reaches the Village.
Loki decides to begin by walking around the perimeter and notices only one entrance. The village is surrounded by what looks like a 5 foot tall log fence that is sharpened on the tops. There 2 Goblins guarding the gate with tall spears and as Loki was about to get closer, he hears a few steps from behind and sees a small group of goblins that would like scouts.

Seeing 3 green and grotesque beings approach him, Loki readies his sword and after looking at their stats, decides he must take out the archer first. Loki uses Leaf shot first before jumping into the middle of the group to quickly take out the archer.
-536!
The first leaf shot dealing more than 70% of the enemy's health, all Loki needs to do is hit the Goblin Archer with his sword twice. He defeats it quick and runs away to reset while looking at the notification.

'No drops? Weird.' Loki thought as he watches the Goblin Swordsman hot on his trail after killing the archer. Deciding to rush in, Loki uses stone bullet to catch the goblin off guard, only dealing about 25 damage but lost it's balance at the same time.
Rushing up, the goblin spearman is reaching close and Loki must make a quick decision to continue or take a step back. After half a second of thought, Loki continues to the swordsman and slashes at it a couple times before using Vine Grip on the spearman while finishing off the swords man as quickly as possible.
Five seconds on the immobilization are over and the spearmen, who was finally released from the vines holding all 4 of his limbs, started charging at Loki again just as he finished off the swordsmen and moved onto the spearman.

Taking the fight to the last goblin, Loki already understands that he'll have to run around it and slash where he can without taking on the spear. Loki is also waiting for his cooldowns so he can just hit it with another leaf shot, however, his current hit-and-run strategy is working enough to where after half a minute, Loki was able to get the goblin down to 40% of it's health.
Loki decides to just fire his stone bullets to slow it down for less mana and take out the last little bit of health it had left.

After that fight, Loki sat down near a tree and continued observing the village while understanding the various fights Loki will have to go through and starts to plan his next move. Looking around more at the village, he notices that there are about 25 Goblins in the village alone.
As Loki keeps walking around, he sees a much larger goblin roaming the village and assumes that is the boss and tries to get a glance before beginning his assault.
