The forest was quiet. There was plenty of light because it had been periodically thinned over the years, and the air was clear and fresh, making me feel good. We hadn’t run into any boar or deer so far, though, so the lizardmen had probably eaten them—and done a number on the animal population in the process. The Girard territory was a rural domain without any specialties, so we had to at least protect its flora and fauna.

Anyway, as we were walking along a small path toward the lake where the monsters were supposed to be, one of the soldiers spoke. “This is where the captain fought that lizardman.”

There wasn’t a body, as it had been taken back to Third Village and buried.

“I found footprints. They seem recent, so we can use them for our patrol,” another soldier affirmed, touching the ground. He had presented himself as the son of a hunter, so he must have been used to this sort of thing.

“Brace yourselves,” I said, drawing my Twin Hydra Blades.

From this point on, we could encounter monsters at any moment, so we had to proceed carefully. We moved in line with the hunter’s son first, followed by Adele, me, and the other three soldiers.

After walking for a few minutes, we caught sight of a single goblin. The vanguard glanced at me, waiting for my decision.

“You wait here.”

It was pretty stupid for the commander to go fight alone, but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to have a one-on-one battle. I told everyone to stay quiet with my gaze and tightened my grip around the hilts of my blades. My hands felt slightly sweaty from the tension.

I released the mana from the mana-storing organ in my abdomen and enhanced my physical abilities before brazenly striding toward the goblin.

“Gya gya!” Noticing me, it laughed and attacked me with its club.

Move just like your training, I repeated to myself on a loop as I warded off the club with my left sword, and pierced through the goblin’s chest with my right one. Then I kicked it in the stomach, sending it flying away, before gaining some distance. I didn’t let my guard down.

I was ready to attack it again when it got up, but...it didn’t move at all.

“I...won?”

It was so freaking weak! It was my first true battle, so I didn’t think I would win so easily.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps on grass, so I turned toward it and found four new goblins.

“I’ll take care of them too!” I wanted to know if I’d won by skill, or if I had just been lucky.

Let’s see how far I can go with just my dual-wielding skills. No magic!

I closed in on one of them as they were distracted by the corpse of their fellow goblin. It must have been taken by surprise as it didn’t even try to avoid my strike, and I split its head right down the middle.

Two of the other goblins thrust their wooden swords at me, so I stepped back to avoid them before returning them in kind with my Twin Hydra Blades.
