A blue light pierced through the body of a Hobgoblin.
It was a silver spear that was imbued with mana.
Grabbing the Hobgoblin body by the neck, Noah slammed it into a horde of six Goblins, and then he jumped towards another Hobgoblin and using his poison laced dagger, he slowly skinned the Hobgoblin's face while it was alive before cutting its head open leaving the brain exposed.
"Here, are you hungry?" Noah asked one of the goblins before forcibly feeding it the brain mushes of the Hobgoblin and then punched the Goblin's stomach so that it would vomit, after that he began to put his palm over the goblin's mouth and nose as it drowned from its own vomit.
Taking a short break, Noah stared at Lucas and his group situation.
"There's around 3 Hobgoblins and 13 Goblins left…" Noah muttered under his breath before he turned his head towards the horde, his eyes locked into their figure and his mouth revealed his bloodied teeth.
…
Standing in the middle of a blood fest, Noah had already taken care of around 26 Hobgoblins and 53 Goblins, his extreme stamina was thanks to his ability that continuously regenerates his body and recovers his fatigue.
Before he returned to the group, Noah muttered, "Status."
-Ding!

Seeing the effect, Noah smiled brightly as he acquired two good skills, Spearmanship increased his damage using his main weapon and also seemed to deepen his understanding of spearmanship, that was also the same case for intimidation.
"Now let's greet them." Noah muttered as he walked towards the exhausted Lucas and others.
"You have such monstrous stamina…" Nigel muttered as he wiped the sweat and blood off his face.
"Not only stamina, but his fighting style was scary too…" Lucas muttered while shivering reminiscing about the scene he accidentally saw before, it was a complete massacre.
"We reached level 3!" Diane said as she celebrated with the other two girls, Fiona and Mina.
Lucas had reached level 5.
Nigel had reached level 4.
Ruby had reached level 4.
Diane had reached level 3.
Mina had reached level 3.
Fiona had reached level 3.
"Mina, can you attract all of those monsters again~?" Noah's eyes turned into the word EXP as he said that.
A sweat dripped down from Mina's forehead as she replied, "Um, my ability has a 1 hour cooldown…"
"Is that so? Sha-." Noah muttered before another voice finished his sentence, it was Lucas, "Shame."
"Hm?" Noah looked over to Lucas who appeared to be disappointed as he heard that Mina cannot attract more monsters despite being someone that doesn't really bother to fight before.
"Hey, why're you the one disappointed idiot?" Ruby asked after she smacked Lucas' head again.
"Well, I gain a lot of Exp and who doesn't like to get stronger in order to save and protect everyone I cared for!" Lucas said with a serious face.
"You're definitely just addicted to the killing notifications, I mean I am also guilty of that but you don't see me denying it, there's also the fact that you really seem to be enjoying slashing through hordes of monsters using your new sword." Nigel said as he remembered the expression on Lucas' face.
Lucas' expression toughened up as he said, "Nuh uh."
"Yuh uh."
"Nuh uh."
Suddenly both Nigel and Lucas felt a burning sensation on their lower region as they looked down to see their pants on fire.
"Gah! What the fuck!?"
"You witch! Attacking my manhood when I'm distracted, I'm disappointed that you would commit mass murder as easily as breathing. Think of the (future) scientist that would cure cancer! Think of the (future) president that would bring forth world peace! Think of the (future) athletes that would be able to surpass all sorts of world records!" Lucas said as a drop of tear flowed through his face as his pants burned away leaving his lower region exposed (he still has an underwear).
"Do you want me to burn your underwear too?" Ruby asked with a grim expression.
Suddenly a purple system panel materialized before everyone.

"I see, so this place has become a dungeon… and this 'One' guy, is he special like a regressor or something?" Noah mumbled to himself as he noticed an arrow that pointed at a certain place.
"Should we follow that arrow?" Diane asked, clearly frightened.
"I think so, it's likely pointing at the place for the boss." Nigel said his index finger pointing at the huge bold white text of 'Boss' on the arrow.
Noah and the others slowly walked towards the boss room and reached the Boss room, the Cafeteria.
-Ding!

[Rank] D+

"Did you guys receive a notification?" Noah asked Lucas and others, his face showed a calm expression.
Noah, seeing the objective of the mission, thought that the others would be receiving the same one or that the mission required you to personally kill the boss monster alone.
"Well, we do." Lucas replied nonchalantly.
"Alright, let's enter the Boss room." Noah said before he opened the door.
[You are entering the domain of Hobgoblin Knight Captain]
[Goblin's Nightmare (F) activated, all Goblins are affected by the trait, decrease all enemy stats by 5%]
A hobgoblin donned in silver full-plate armor was pushed back by a punch from a young man wearing a black robe with a belt that contained two swords.
From his face, most people would recognise him as Lee Seojun, the Korean transfer student.
'Hm? Someone's here already? I thought I was faster than in my past life and there was nobody that challenged the boss at this time…' Lee Seojun thought as he deflected the boss's attack before creating distance between them.
'I didn't expect the Sword Saint to be here already…' Lee Seojun thought until he saw a bloodied figure standing calmly on their side, that sight suddenly left him stunned, 'Shit, I forgot that Noah was here too—'
When Lee Seojun was distracted, a heavy swing comfortably landed on his stomach, as he was thrown away Lee Seojun regained his footing as he wiped away the blood on his face.
[The 1st Floor Boss, 'Hobgoblin Knight Captain']
"You alright?" Noah asked as he stood before Lee Seojun, his body gave away the smell of blood.
"Yea…" Seojun muttered before he pulled out both of his blades.
"Should we help?" Lucas asked as he approached Noah.
"Of course," Noah said, tightening his grip on his silver spear.
