Chapter 44: Testing the Hair Suit
As Thea stood there, watching the incoming wave of goblins, she happily though back to her hunting trips over the past 9 years. She had hunted a lot of beasts and had been in many situations, and here a herd of goblins rushing her provided her a new situation, she had never experienced before yet.
The first to hit her was the pathetic magic, the goblins at the back had casted. The maximum of what they could cast, was water balls or fireballs the size of a head, Thea didn't react to the weak magic but instead waited the last second before the first goblin was in reach.
As all the humans watched her, the first action they saw Thea make was slap the first goblin in the face. It was a normal slap for Thea, but with her strength, the goblins head was blown away and his body was left standing there, headless.
Thea then giggled and used a finger to push the body back, causing it to fall over.
She then walked forward deciding, to try use her covered tails for attacking. As she walked forward, she did a little 360 degree twirl, showing everyone, she had a lot of enjoyment in the current situation.
As she did her twirl, she had used her tails to strike the goblins in the chest, meaning to blast them backwards but something unexpected happened. As her tails almost hit the goblins, the round tip changed into a sharp point which easily penetrated the goblins, the tails were heading for.
Slightly surprised Thea decided to play around with her tails more, as she was piercing the goblins in different ways, she learned that she could extend her tails by 300% of their original length. When she learned this, she thought it would be funny to try something.
"Good afternoon, little miss. Thank you for saving us." The group leader said to Thea, making a clumsy bow.
This action caught Thea's attention. She thought the group was a band of traveling merchants with some lousy defensive skills, but if they were merchants, they would be more proficient in their behavior as it was important for a merchant to leave a good impression.
Thea looked at the group of men again. On first glance they looked like normal men but if you looked for details, you would see tattoos and scars on some of the men.
"If you don't mind me asking What is your occupation?" Thea asked the man taking the position of their leader.
The man grimaced, hearing the question, before he realized he was talking to a 12 year old child.
"Well you see, little miss, we are a group of traveling merchants." The man said while smiling.
'Do they think I'm dumb?' Thea thought to herself before she realized something, 'I am 12 so in the end I guess they think they can convince me with that lousy lie.'
Fed up Thea decided to inspect the man.
