This notification demonstrated why Kobold are ranked higher than goblin.

Suddly, Noah's Presce detection felt the presce of emies, they're fast not giving him any time to prepare.

Four shadows surged from the undergrowth, four kobolds snarling and brandishing crude axes. Panic clawed at Noah's throat, four against one were bad odds, especially with his adraline waning. But fear wouldn't save him. He needed to think, to strategize.

Swoosh!

Spotting a fall tree trunk, he used it as cover, rolling beath its rough bark just as a rusty axe whistled past his ear.

He emerged on the other side, sword flashing in a practiced parry, deflecting another blow. The kobold before him, teeth bared, gaped in surprise, leaving his flank exposed. Noah seized the opportunity, lunging forward with a quick jab to the chest.

Pu!

The kobold crumpled, whimpering.

But the victory was short-lived. The remaining three descded upon him with rewed ferocity. He danced betwe them, their clumsy swings barely catching him. He used their bulk against them, tripping one with a deft footwork, using the fall kobold as a shield against another's attack. But the third, a hulking brute with a spiked club, was reltless.

He knew this was just the beginning. He had to keep moving, td to his wounds. But for now, he allowed himself a momt of rest, leaning against the weathered tree trunk, the silce brok only by his ragged breaths and the chirping of distant birds. He had survived, and that was all that mattered. For now.

The system's voice rang out, announcing an increase of his currt experice point by 40%. Five more and he would level up. This system is sure handy.

At last, the realization dawned on him as to why the system hadn't assigned a specific number of kobolds to eliminate, but rather couraged him to eradicate as many as possible. It was a clever ploy crafted gradually to assist him, suring that his well-being remained the top priority.

Curiosity flickered about how his mother could have devised such a mechanism, yet he pushed aside the thought for now; tding to his injury and leaving this place took precedce. Luckily, his modest expertise in herbal remedies allowed him to swiftly seek out the necessary ingredits to heal his wound.

He carefully gathered fresh aloe vera leaves, known for their soothing and healing properties. With skillful hands, he extracted the gel from the leaves and applied it to his wound, feeling the immediate relief as the cool gel seeped into his skin.

Noah also brewed a concoction of chamomile and lavder, known for their anti-inflammatory and calming effects, to help speed up the healing process. As he tded to his wound, Noah felt grateful for his knowledge of natural remedies and the healing power of nature.

After he was done tding to his wound, Noah quickly left the area but not before digging out the magic stone inside the kobolds. Luckily, he found three of them, a rare and valuable discovery. He knew he was fortunate this time, as these magic stones could fetch a significant amount of credit points at the academy.

The sun hung high in the sky, the sunlight splashing on the leaves of the trees in the forest.

Noah, relying on his ke Presce Detection skill, set out to search for the kobolds despite his injury. While the wound still caused him discomfort, it did not incapacitate him, and his determination to find the creatures remained strong. With a focused mind and a watchful eye, Noah carefully navigated the area, using his heighted sses to detect any signs of the kobolds' presce.

After a thorough search, Noah's efforts paid off as he finally spotted the kobolds lurking in the shadows.

With a strategic plan in mind, Noah prepared to gage the kobolds, killing as many he could.
