"So, how much did you learn, Fiona?" Lisa asked. The two women were beaten up on a regular basis by their trainer. Usually, after the end of their training, they will seek Ian to be healed, just so their night will not be miserable.
"I learn a lot of new things," she said. 'Like my lover is an absolute pervert,' she added in her mind.
"Do you think we can handle the monsters' subjugation tomorrow?" both Ian and Kell had hidden the details of their excursion, but they were certain it would be challenging. After all, it is training set up by the two of them.
"Let's get some rest, tomorrow will be a hectic day," Ana reminded them, making the other two nod before heading to their beds, hoping whatever it was, they could handle it.

"For today's objective, your group must destroy 2 goblins' dens in your own," Ian told them.
The three girls looked at them in shock, after all, they could only do one den before. "We already found the dens for you, the only thing you need to do is to keep a close eye on the clue we left and destroy the dens and all of its inhabitants," the brunette continued, making the three look at each other in worry.
"So, we will not be given the location of the dens right now?" Fiona asked. Ian shook his head.
"No. Instead, you will be given some clues, usually broken branches, logs, and other things that will not look out of place inside a forest, just so we can mimic the job of searching and destroying goblin's dens," Kell took it from there.
The girls nodded, understanding the reasoning of the two males. However, "What will you two be doing?" is the question the girls have for the two, except Ana is the fastest one to ask.
"We will head deeper and see if we can scout deeper, and maybe spot more things that will give us an edge for the future, so, we will not be your getaway card. You have to depend on yourself to survive," Ian gave his pieces, before turning his head and looking into the deeper part of the forest.
"While you thin down the population, we will get as much info as we can," Kell smiled at them, and, without more words, the two ran into the deeper part of the forest without any warning.
"Looks like they go off on their own again. Let's get going, I don't want to know what kind of punishment we will get if we don't complete our task," Ana exclaimed while shivering.
Meanwhile, Fiona knew what would happen to her if she failed her task and slightly hated herself for looking forward to being punished.

"This is probably the first den, and one set up by Kell," Lisa said. Guess is too kind of a word as the boy had just put a sign painted with sap, saying Goblin's Den, right above the the entrance.
However, it could also be a trick of the other trainer, Ian setting up a fake sign just to make them waste time and try to observe the difference between a real den and a fake one.
So, after making sure this was an actual goblin's den, without waking up the goblin population, they pumped their fist before heading inside the den.
"Looks like Fiona learned a lot of things," Lisa whispered. As they passed sleeping goblins, Fiona was somehow able to make sure each step made the least noise possible.
Even as she lightly touched the head of the goblin with her feet, she did not wake the creature up, showing how skilled she was.
"Yeah, maybe we should ask for a stealth lesson," Ana exclaimed. Seeing how good she is, she must learn something about stealth during her training.
If Fiona learned what was going on in their head, she would laugh like crazy. After all, the reason she was so good is because she learned to watch herself as she walked inside the forest.
With her large breasts, every step will cause her huge milk tank to sway, distracting her in the process.
To prevent such a thing from happening, she makes sure to watch her step, her 'naked training' actually is good for something.
As they head deeper, unfortunately, mishaps occur despite their best attempt.
*Snap*
The goblin close to Ana opened its eyes but before it could do anything, Fiona rushed toward the monster and crushed its head with her staff.
"Making the sign of following her, she walked deeper, leaving them awestruck by her performance.
"She really improved a lot," Lisa whispered, to be able to react so quickly, her lesson was more effective than theirs.
Once again, if Fiona knew what they were thinking, her laughter would wake up the entire den.

"That's the hob," Lisa whispered, watching the bigger goblin warily. Surrounding the go were various different goblins, all sleeping without a care.
Carefully, Ana walked to the hob, making sure to not wake up the lesser goblins. Thankfully, there are no errant twigs and the goblins were not woken up by it.
As she got so close, to the point she could touch it, she stopped before leveling her toward above the monsters.
Her sword descended and pierced the monster's throat, killing the hobgoblin instantly. She then did the same with the shaman which she spotted much later, due to it being similar to other goblins except for wielding magic.
"Now we dealt with those two, how are we going to destroy the entire den?" Lisa asked Fiona, who gave them a terrifying grin.
-x-
"This is not what I expect at the end of your plan, Fiona!" Lisa shouted. Being chased by goblins is not on her bucket list after all.
After checking the goblin's population in the den, the mage decided to wake the monster up by creating Flame Debris, creating obstacles preventing them from running the other directions.
However, creating Flame Debris would cause the entire den to slowly wake up so they needed to run as fast as they could. Thankfully, they have longer legs than goblins and can run faster than the green monsters.
They were able to outrun them, even stepping on some at the only entrance they did not block.
Soon, they arrive at the entrance with a horde of goblins chasing after them, "Now what?!" Ana asked her question borderline yelling.
Fiona did not say anything, merely casting another spell.
"Flash," the result can be described as the greatest goblin crash in Thrine Forest, maybe even in the entire world.
As the girls watched the goblins falling like dominoes, Fiona could not help but ask,
"I wonder how the boys are doing?"
