John had gathered back every bug of equipment from everyone and checked his inventory before handing it back out
[goblin bones x56
Goblin skin x33
Goblin bone spears x116
Basic goblin leather shoulder guards x28
Rusty goblin daggers x86
Basic goblin helmets x22
Aluminium bats x36
Metal javelins x27
Hockey sticks x34 ]
John was more than surprised that the bones he had left behind had been turned into spears giving the fact that he had never asked for that. When asking why they done that they just replied that some started to do it out of instinct and all of a sudden all of them followed and created a kind of rythem together.
'This must be what happened last time I made the spears with everyone'
John also decided to check the spears that had been created and once again every single one gave a bonus stat point to strength and had an increase in throwing speed
With only 17 people in the group, 8 of them being in John's party there were only an additional 9 people so John decided to create a total of 7 duos each of his party members would be in one except for his which him and Terry would be in.
[students left: 484/1687]
'it says students left so does that mean every teachers dead but that's not possible because my form teachers still here' John thought as he looked at the teacher, Mr brown in the canteen
Mr brown looked at John but something was of about him, he looked almost sick his skin was pale and he was sweating alot. Looking at the colours around him John noticed that they had become more spread out and looked almost none existent.
Three people would stay behind incase anyone appeared looking for help.
"right everyone there are still students out there, out job is to find them and bring them back here. Check your phones watches or anything else, the time now is half one so be back at around five o'clock for a regrouping." John quickly gave them all a rundown of everything and made everyone head out to different areas of the school with a full set of goblin gear each.
Everyone left and John and Terry traveled across the school looking for some more students.
"how are you so quick to adapt John, so quick to rally everyone together and how are you able to store all those items with you whereas we can't." Terry suddenly asked out of the blue
John was shocked by this sudden line of questioning and thought of how much he should tell her. After thinking for a few minutes throughout an awkward silence John finally spoke.
"what I'm about to tell you has to stay secret, you must not tell anyone, do you understand?" John asked as he looked at Terry intently
"I understand I will keep it a secret." Terry responded immediately
"I have an ability named regression, when I die I travel back to this morning with all my knowledge intact. One morning I was suddenly sent to some sort of dungeon with some mutated goblins similar to the ones we've been fighting but many times stronger."
Terry listened intently as John spoke, never interrupting but still keeping an eye out for any goblins who might attack
"I died what must of been a hundred times before I cleared the dungeon, that's why I'm not bothered by all of this." John spoke quickly relieved to of finally told someone about this
Terry looked at John in surprise but didn't say anything, after all what could she say after hearing that.
[+2 xp]
[+2 xp]
John suddenly began getting notifications giving him xp without him doing anything.
'this must be from the other groups' John thought as they reached the building
*CLICK*
John opened a door and Terry walked through looking for any enemy's but there were none to be found. After searching the building for a few minutes their search finally bore fruit and they found 17 students
*SNIFFLE*
some of them cried as they were rescued and some just stared at the wall not believing what had happened to their peers.
"t-t-thank you so much." one of the students asked
The others followed John and Terry after a brief explanation and continued throughout the building finding more students.
[Lv 5 (148/160 xp)]
John started smiling at the increase of his level and hoped that he could get to atleast level 8 by the end of the day.
[time 16:30]
Judging by the time It was highly unlikely that he would get to his preferred level by the end of today, unless something changed.
'maybe I can sneak out later tonight and try to kill a few more before the fight tomorrow' John thought as they searched the last few rooms for any survivors
*THWACK*
A few more goblins were killed as John and Terry brought the large group of survivors to the canteen. As they entered John could see that all the other groups had returned and that there were many bags filled to the brim with materials and a large pile besides them aswell.
"it looks like you had a good farming session." John called over to his main group
"farming session? Jeez how many games do you play?" David asked as he walked over
"with the loot drops and the monsters I don't think it's unreasonable to think of this as a game." Josh chimed in with a large smile on his face
John smiled as he saw the group interact with each other. Looking around John decided to call everyone to the front and collect in every piece of equipment and redistribute them once again and create a plan for tomorrow
