While Érica regained her Mana and I integrated my new level of meditating the rest of the group took Goblin's ear as proof of subjugation, they also looked to see if any of them had a magical core, but unfortunately not.
I took this time to open my status, it's like I knew what to do to change jobs, I thought about changing jobs while looking at my status and the same window with available jobs showed me, I didn't waste much time seeing if I had one. new job and chose the [ Apprentice Warrior ] job, I, unfortunately, found that when I changed the job all the EXP I had left after reaching the max level of the previous job was gone, I was at [ Apprentice Warrior ] level one and with no EXP at all.
The others will keep looking around while I switched jobs, as we still have three missions I might be able to switch jobs twice more.
They searched the camp but also didn't find anything worthwhile, that's when I saw Irius collecting something from the evolved Goblins and I got scared.
"Irius what are you doing?" (I)
"I'm collecting the evolved Goblin testicles." (Irius)
"I didn't know you had that kind of taste." (I)
"That's not funny Dad, the truth is that evolved Goblin testicles are an ingredient in a pill that increases a man's fertility and virility during sex." (Irius)
"I didn't know that, I've never seen anyone sell it in the Adventurers' Guild." (Diana)
"That's because the Guild doesn't buy this stuff, you have to go to an Alchemist to sell it, you can get up to fifty silver coins per testicle." (Irius)
"That's a very high price for material taken from a Goblin." (Diana)
"The virility pill is an expensive item, but it is always out of stock, many nobles buy it in quantity, there are also many other men who buy it, even if it is a Goblin material simply the demand is very high." (Irius)
"My brother learned this because he saw an adventurer doing this on our travels and asked why now he always collects as he gives a good sum of money." (Irina)
"(Even if a good sum of money I will never do that.)" (I)
p
During the trip I asked Kira if she remembers their number, she said there were only twenty Kobolds and there was only one evolved.
Diana said that we shouldn't plan any surprise attack now but an attack from the front and coordinate during the attack, she said that I would have to give orders while I fight to train, it seems that this time it will be difficult.
When we finally arrived I asked Kira and Byakko to just confirm that all the Kobolds were there, when she confirmed that everyone was there I started the attack.
I first put everyone in the standard formation Diana suggested, with Irina and Érica supporting them from behind, Irius defending them and the rest of us attacking in the vanguard.
As soon as the Kobolds noticed us all gathered and started attacking, they are a little faster and more coordinated than the Goblins, I can see the evolved Kobold in their midst howling, he is bigger than the other Kobolds so it was easy to find him.
As soon as they were close enough I started giving orders.
"Érica, I want you to build three walls of fire, one on each side and one behind them!" (I)
"Yes Master." (Érica)
"Kira, I want you and Byakko to hide and kill the Kobold in the middle, the one that's bigger than the others, the first opportunity that comes along!" (I)
"Yes Master." (Kira)
"Irina, I want you to use your speed-up magic on me and Diana!" (I)
"I can only use one at a time Dad." (Irina)
Before I finished giving the orders the Kobolds caught up with us, Diana cuts one-off that jumped on her and I jump somersaulting into the air and kicking a top-down heel into the head of a Kobold while shouting the other orders."Irina use speed boost on Diana!" (I)
"Diana run on the right side killing everything along the way trying to get to the leader!" (I)
"Ibuki go with her!" (I)
At this time Érica's walls of fire emerge from the ground on both sides and behind the Kobolds, the only way for them now is straight ahead where we are, I stay behind producing and controlling my lines to crawl on the ground while Diana attacks like a killing blur five Kobolds and everything in your way on the right side.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The evolved Kobold howled and all the Kobolds started to go to the right side to attack Diana, at which point Ibuki finally got to Diana and started killing the nearby Kobolds.
The evolved Kobold is only concentrated on the right side as Diana and Ibuki are killing there, so he hasn't noticed what I'm doing, I take advantage of this moment of distraction and control my lines with all my speed to tie him up, it took me so far dragging my lines underneath unnoticed to be able to do this.
"Kira now!" (I)
At that moment Byakko launches a shock beam killing one of the two Kobolds near the evolved Kobold while Kira comes down from above stabbing the head of another and turning around quickly slitting the evolved Kobold's throat.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
The Kobolds are lost for a while without a leader to coordinate them, I grab a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other and throw myself at them taking advantage of the chaos to kill them as quickly as possible.
In the end, this battle took longer than the Goblins but we managed to kill everyone without getting hurt.
Ding! Ding!

This time it was very difficult, I didn't have a lot of time to think, so I did everything in a hurry, I didn't even know if this improvised plan was going to work, I was thinking as I spoke and even then I could only think about this plan because of the parallel thinking ability, I knew this skill would be useful during combat, another skill that helped me was group coordination.
"You did very well master, but it was risky to send Ibuki to fight with me, I had to stop advancing so she wouldn't be surrounded by the Kobolds." (Diana)
"Taking Kira out of the fight to ambush the leader of the Kobolds was also a good idea, but it put pressure on the rest of the group." (Diana)
"You also gave orders to Erica and Irina without knowing if they were able to do it, luckily Érica did it but was unable to help the combat and Irina was not able to follow the orders, making you have to think of another idea." (Diana)
"You don't have to be so strict Diana." (Kira)
"She's right Kira, look how exhausted Érica is from keeping those three walls of fire, this can be training but I need to think more calmly, I got agitated because I didn't have time to plan and started giving orders without knowing if they were possible." (I)
"You as the leader of the group must know our abilities to know what we are capable of doing or not, only then can you give orders with confidence." (Diana)
"But I must say you were much better than I expected, I'm surprised." (Diana)
"When my father passed this training on to me I wasn't able to give any orders, I spent so much time analyzing the battlefield and the monsters that I didn't have time to think of a plan." (Diana)
"Even though some of your orders were hasty, you analyzed the battlefield and the enemy very well, left no escape route for them, and identified the enemy leader quickly, you also managed to attract the monster leader's attention elsewhere. to arrest and kill him." (Diana)
"(If she knew that I'm only good at strategizing because of games, what would she say?)" (I)
I went to the leader and drank all his blood, Irina and Irius took some of the Kobold's blood also in some bottles to take back, I didn't take the Goblins blood because it tasted awful.
Ding!
<[ You have acquired the skill [ Leadership: 1 ] ]>
This skill along with the group coordination and parallel thinking skills is going to be a great combination, I was praying the leader would have some leadership skills and he really did.
After the fight Irina and Érica started to meditate to recover, I took the opportunity once again to integrate the level I gained from the experience of that battle.
After integrating my level I changed my job again to [ Apprentice Martial Artist ] this time.
After finishing my meditation and changing jobs I helped the others pull out the Kobolds' fangs, it looks like this is proof of subjugation and we guard the entire body of the evolved Kobold.
After almost two hours Irina and Érica were already recovered.
"What's the next monster we'll go after?" (I)
"There's a cave thirty minutes from here that has about fifteen spiders, but Kira and I didn't go in there." (Diana)
"We're not sure their number or if there are any evolved Spiders, so it could be dangerous." (Kira)
"We can make Byakko go in there unseen to verify this, then we set traps at the entrance to the cave and have Byakko lure the spiders out." (I)
"Do you want to use the big me as Spider Bait?" (Byakko)
"Yes." (I)
"Byakko you have to admit this is a good idea." (Kira)
"Being monster bait is all you deserve Idiot Cat, hahahaha." (Diana)
"What did you say you Wild dog?" (Byakko)
"Who are you calling a Wild dog, idiot cat?" (Diana)
"Stop fighting, you look like two children." (I)
Kira and I kept trying to convince Byakko to agree to the plan as we went to the cave, it was already halfway through the day.
