Trouble (1)

I run toward the sources of the scream. But the trees are quite dense and I can't see clearly. I only rely on my ears and my intuition. I notice I run toward the road and I can see clearly now. On the road, I see a wagon surrounded by a group of bandits.

Maybe that's a merchant's wagon and the bandits try to rob them.

There are 6 people who defend the wagon and 25 bandits. I can see a little girl too, hiding inside the wagon.

"Whahahaha, we got big fish here. They're from Avalon Merchant Union. Leave all your wagon here and I may spare your life.Hahahahaha."

The big guy from the bandit's group talked to the merchant's group while pointing his axe toward them.

"Don't joke around you bastard, I never give our precious goods to you!!!"

"Then die!!!! Kill them all!!!"

"We must defend the wagon safely at all costs!!!!

Hiyaaaaaa!!!"

"Oraaaaaa!!!"

Thanks to my buff, I can see and listen to their conversation even from a distance.

Now, what should I do?

There's a merchant group attacked by bandits in front of me. I can help them if I want because with my level and my skill I believe I can handle the bandit.

But what if they feel fear toward me later?

No this is wrong.

There's no room for hesitation.

If I can help them, I will help them.

I will worry about the consequences later.

They already began their battle. Of course, the merchant's side is under pressure. I need to act faster.

I hide my katana and my dagger in my storage pouch and prepared my buff. I run toward the bandit group while shouting.

"Help me!!!!! Mo, monster!!!!! There are monsters chasing me!!!!"

The bandits and the merchants stopped their assault and looking to the way I come.I use this chance to get close to the bandits.

I deceive them by telling them I was chased by monsters.Human usually prioritizes their survival over anything if they were in danger. In this world, the monster is the main source of "danger" so obviously, the bandit stops their attack and prepared for the monster.

I hide my katana to avoid them suspect me.

A child runs away from the monster without a weapon is natural isn't it?

I finally slip into the bandit group and begin my attack.

I take out my katana and begin to rampage.

Slash, Slash, Slash.

I feel my body is very light and can move without any restraints. I aim their feet to hinder their movement. The bandit finally comes back to their senses but that's too late. At that time, I already slashed around 10 people and they were lying on the ground helplessly.

"What is this brat doing??!!! Kill him!!!!"

"Die you brat!!!!!"

I retreated to avoid being surrounded and block their swords. I take my dagger and throw them to the bandits, who lying in the ground. Even they can't stand, but they can use his sword to attack me from below. They can't move faster and become perfect targets for my dagger.

Stab, Stab

Each dagger hit their heads perfectly.

"Youuuuu!!!"

A giant man comes while swinging his axe to chop my head.I immediately crouch and do a back roll to put some distance.

I already made the bandit to stay away from the merchant. Now all the bandit attention is on me.

The merchant can use this opportunity to leave now.

"To catch a child, you need help from your subordinates huh? Where is your pride as boss?"

I taunt the Leader.

"You bastard, how dare you insults meeee.Fine then, I will show you my true strength. You guys don't disturb us."

His face is red due to the anger and his blood-eyes are glares to me. My provocation seems to works perfectly.

He chants something and his body becomes bigger. Only that.

"If you just become bigger, I already meet someone like you and kill them."

The Bandit before, Hobgoblin, The Mist-Wolf, and Purple Orc. In terms of pressure, they far more frightening than the man in front of me.

"Here I come!!!!"

He swings his axe to my neck and I block it with my katana. I use my katana to deflect his axe to hit the ground. The ground cracks on impact. Then I step on the axe's stick to prevent him from using his axe. With my buff, I can hold the axe and his power from pulling the axe from the ground.

His pitiful attempt is failed even he used both his hands. While he unguarded, I kick his crotch and make him crouch. And cut his head as finishing.

His subordinates run away after their leader dead. I make purpose 1 vs 1 situation to minimize my damage. If the leader defeated, the minion will run away like chicks lose their mother.

My buff is getting stronger than before I change my class. Maybe in this world, the level is more important than anything.

Even a child like me can beat adults and bigger monsters than myself because my level is higher than them.

I take the Axe and looting the leader corpse to find money and found 50 silver coins.

Yeah, I'm so lucky.

"Ummm, Ano.."

"??!!"

Huh?

Who was speaking to me?

I turn my back and found a member of the merchant guy. I can see the wagon move closer here too.

Oh no, did they see me looting the corpse??!!

Will, they accused me as a bandit too??!!

Oh my God, what will they do?
