CH 8: casualties

John looked at the teacher in surprise

"what do you mean 'what did I do' I stopped that creature killing people!!" John shouted back in anger

"creature?! That's a child and you just killed it!"

The teacher shouted back

*BLEGH*

A student from the front of the room puked causing a chain reaction which extended across every student

[ding! Items have been dropped]

John looked at the dead body and saw the light extend from its body. Many students starred at the light in confusing

"what the hell!" many students exclaimed

John walked up to the body and grabbed the items but he wasn't impressed with what was there

[goblin bones x2]

[rusty dagger x1]

"this is a goblin, a monster, when killed they can drop items similar to a video game!"

John shouted in order to inform the students

Looking round John counted the students

'13 students, that's not surprising considering it's the first day back at school. I'm not sure if Mr Blair will be of any help either considering how he reacted.' he thought to himself

*GROWL*

Many of the students cried out as they heard the sound of what could possibly be more goblins

"SHUT THE DOOR NOW JOHN!" the teacher shouted

"tch, idiot you tell me to shut the door but shout out loud attracting their attention" John retorted

The teacher didn't reply but instead focused on the door

*THWOOSH*

suddenly a dagger appeared from around the corner stabbing at Johns back, as soon as the dagger neared his back though John dashed out of the way and punched the goblin in the face

"ACK!"

some student ran to the back whilst some stepped forward with some random stuff in their hands, in all three students walked forward one had a box in his hand something the teacher used to store the rulers. One had a hard cover boom in his hand and the other had a wooden bat in hers

'josh, David and Terry, all three normal students yet they have walked forward to help out, the only anomaly if you could even call them that and thats Terry she's on the baseball team if I remember correctly' John thought as he turned back to the goblins

6 goblins appeared near the door and stepped forward slowly, John thought there would be more than one but not this many, he spoke to the three that stepped forward and gave out orders

"I know this is scary but stay calm and try your best to protect the others." he spoke quickly as one pounced on him

Thankfully John still help the dagger and managed to block the goblins attack but not without being pushed back a few feet. As John was occupied the other 5 goblins instead pounced to the other three and the students at the back, a goblin went to one of the three and the remaining two went to the ones at the back.

"no you don't!" Terry screamed as she whacked the goblin who was on her and rushed to the two that ran to the remaining students

John looked back as he continued the fight against the first goblin.

'she's amazing.' John thought as he watched her fight as hard as she could

John managed to get a hit in on the goblin and whilst it was frozen for that second he managed to stab it in the neck, he turned around to help the other but saw two things that shocked him

First was the dead body's in total he could see seven dead kids aswell as the teacher laying on the floor with a dagger through his stomach bleeding out quickly.

Second was terry, she was managing to fight of three goblins at the same time with a look of total calm in her face as she twirled ducked and weaved through them. John could tell that it was the same thing that happens to him in the dungeon twice before

He quickly looked at how Josh and David were handling their goblins and saw that they were unharmed and managed to get a hit or two on the goblins. Once he saw that he decided to help Terry as she was in a stalemate

*STAB*

John appeared behind one of the goblins and manged to kill it and as he done that Terry managed to hit one in the head hard enough to break its skull and kill it

The other two goblins looked at John and Terry in fear.

"so lo ka ro doh ru ma no le"

The goblins talked to each other in a strange language as they suddenly jumped to the students behind the duo

"STOP THEM!" John cried as he lept to the goblins

*STAB*

the goblins managed to team up and kill one student before Terry bashed one of their heads and John cutting the neck of the other

Terry didn't even stop for a second before rushing to help David so John decided to give David a hand

After around a minute more the six goblins were all dead and John checked his status

[Lv 1 (7/10 xp)]

John looked at the xp requirement in surprise before realising that he necessarily didn't need to kill the goblin himself but only needed to either be involved in the killing of the enemy's whether that be directly or indirectly or that he somehow formed a sort of party like you could in games and that Any kills by his 'party' counted towards his xp
