The team moved with Miss Sarah, descending a mountainous slope, only to find themselves facing a group of goblins.
"Look, there are hundreds of goblins there."
"This is dangerous. Should we go back?"
"Haha, what do you mean? We have Yumi and Alucard here. Don't worry."
Miss Sarah took out a small purse from her hand, then reached into it to pull out a beach chair and a drink, and sat down.
"Alright, alright students, there are some goblins in front of us waiting for you to cut off their heads," Miss Sarah said.
"If anything happens, I'll step in myself. Now, enjoy your time," she added, putting on sunglasses and starting to relax.
"Wow, what a neglectful teacher," laughed one of the students.
"what kind of magic she just did," one of the students puzzled.
"Get ready, we're moving," Alucard shouted with a smile.
He planted his shield into the ground, looking at the goblins with eager eyes. Alucard had a unique ability called Lion's Roar, which enhanced his physical and mental strength.
"Look at me, you ugly creatures," Alucard shouted powerfully, then unleashed a mighty roar from his mouth, catching the attention of many goblins.
The goblins looked at him and started screaming, running towards Alucard to attack him.
As two goblins approached Alucard's range, he responded, "Tang!!!" crushing their skulls easily with his shield before charging at the rest.
The rest of the team shouted and ran after him, "Follow him, kill them!" The team was excited, killing goblin after goblin.
"Yaaah," one student plunged his spear into a goblin's chest.
"Kill them, kill them," others engaged with their swords.
"Whoosh," someone threw an axe over a goblin's head that was behind another student.
"Thank you, you saved me."
"No problem, keep killing them."
Everyone kept killing the goblins while Yumi fought dozens of them alone. The students watched her in awe, swallowing hard.
"Oh my God, what are we seeing?"
"Is she a student like us?"
"Wow."
She was more dangerous than the goblins themselves! Yumi had a unique ability called Resonant Frost, where every strike of her sword froze dozens of goblins within seconds, shattering them with the edge of her blade effortlessly.
"Crack... crack... crack..." the sounds of ice echoed in the place.
Yumi killed one goblin after another, and Alucard was no less; he was like a raging lion, crushing dozens of heads with his shield.
The rest of the team had no chance to kill the goblins, as Yumi and Alucard left them no opportunity!
After half an hour, they had killed nearly 300 goblins, and Yumi alone was responsible for killing 190 of them!
The students wiped the sweat from their brows, breathing heavily. "Oh, this is exhausting."
"Oh my God, did you see Yumi? She was amazing."
"I wish I were as strong as her, I really envy her."
"Oh ah ah , if only I could marry her."
"You perverted fool, how can you say that in front of Yumi?"
"Alucard was also amazing, he killed 40 goblins by himself."
"Yes, his shield is truly invincible."
"Wait guys, didn't you notice something?"
"What?"
"That boy, what was his name..."
One of the students turned to Miss Sarah, who was relaxing on her chair, sipping her drink. "Miss, miss?"
"What do you want?" she replied.
"That boy, what's his name again? That obnoxious boy with white hair who doesn't wear anything."
Miss Sarah took a sip from her glass and asked, "What about him?"
The student looked around, "I haven't seen him since we entered this slope."
The students looked at each other. "Oh, I haven't seen him either."
"Yeah, me too."
"Maybe he ran away like a coward, haha."
"Oh, that filthy coward."
"Let him go to hell, I'll punch him when I get back, that fucking coward."
Alucard's expression became serious. "Teacher, you know that losing sight of a student will cause you a big problem, right?"
Cough, cough, "Ah, no, no, I'm sure I saw him return," Miss Sarah's expression was very tense.
"Look, I knew that coward would come back."
"Hahaha, well, good for him."
"Alright, students, it's time to go back," Miss Sarah shouted.
Yumi was wiping goblin blood from her hair with a towel when Alucard called her, "Yumi, come here for a moment."
"It seems something is bothering you, Alucard."
"The teacher, she's lying..."
Yumi looked at him, removing the towel, "Lying about what?"
"Didn't you hear what she just said?"
"Sorry, I didn't hear anything; I was cleaning my hair. Is something wrong?"
"Well, I'll tell you, but we have to sneak away from the teacher first, so we'll leave when everyone is inside."
"ah ok sure."
Yumi trusted very few people in her life, and Alucard was one of the few she trusted implicitly. He was her childhood friend and the only support among her family, so she followed him with unwavering trust.
The students reached the exit gate, delighted with their results. "Alright, go in one by one," Miss Sarah called out.
One of the students, with kindness and respect, said to Alucard, "After you."
Alucard smiled, "No, no, go ahead. The hero arrives last, doesn't he?" He winked.
The student smiled, his grin wide with joy. "You are so cool, I wish I could be like you. Okay, okay, I'll go in."
Yumi was also making up silly excuses to let the rest of the students enter first until only Miss Sarah, Alucard, and Yumi remained.
"Come on, go in," Miss Sarah called to them.
"No, no, it's improper for us, the Shinzou, madam. Ladies first," Alucard replied.
Miss Sarah pursed her lips in annoyance. "Alright, these traditions are really something."
"Please go ahead, Yumi," she said.
Yumi bowed, placing her hand on her stomach in a respectful posture. "I apologize as well, Miss Sarah. Our family's tradition says that the eldest should enter first."
Miss Sarah scratched her head, then said, "Alright, but go in quickly after me."
"Of course, we will," they replied.
Miss Sarah entered, and Alucard looked at Yumi, the smile fading from his face. "Let's move quickly."
Alucard and Yumi ran swiftly, with Yumi asking, "So, where should we go ?"
"Wait a bit. The second group will be coming out soon. We need to check if he went with them." Alucard hid behind a rock with Yumi.
"Hmm, you didn't tell me what happened. Who do you mean, and what's going on?"
"That boy from the Yoshita. He went off on his own, and I suspect he's going to commit suicide."
"Suicide? Why?"
"I don't know. Didn't you see his gear? He entered without anything and didn't come down the slope with us. He must have gone alone."
Yumi's expression remained calm and serious, though slightly tense. "Ah, I see."
"Hide, they're coming out."
They watched the second group, led by Instructor Kantri, as they emerged from the gate, but Jin was not among them.
"He must have headed north," Alucard said, looking in that direction.
"I see ," she replied.
"Come on, let's move. Follow me."
Then Yumi and Alucard moved north....
Meanwhile, someone sat atop a pile of horribly mutilated goblin corpses, smiling maliciously as he looked ahead. "Maybe I should move forward a bit too, right?"
He moved toward one of the goblins that was crawling in pain.
"You poor thing, I should end your suffering, shouldn't I?"
Then he drove a long, bloodied sword into its back and continued to twist it forcefully, as the goblin screamed in agony.
"Ah, it seems your death won't be comfortable."
The goblin then died.
"Ding! Congratulations, you killed a ' goblin', your stats have increased."
with a smile Jin said "open statistics"

"Hmm, not bad, I guess." He said with a sinister grin, then moved further to the north...
