'A rookie, eh? By the looks of it, it doesn't even seem as they've completed their class advancement quest either. What the hell is he doing in this hunting ground, then?' wondered the level 230 Player known as Godspeed.
Currently, Godspeed was walking towards the nearest town to recharge his stamina faster. The fastest way to get there was to cut through this low-level hunting ground, and with his high level, most monsters wouldn't even bother coming near him.
'This training ground is mostly filled with Hobgoblins I've noticed, and to be honest I'm surprised they would even try to fight them when it doesn't even look like they've passed level 100.' But then Godspeed tried to pay attention a little bit more. '…Hm. Well, it does seem like they have a little bit experience fighting these monsters, which means he should've fought the Hobgoblins before… but with that measly strength?'
Godspeed doesn't necessarily think that the person that he is watching is anything special or unique. No, far from it actually.
"This guy's… ridiculous," he said aloud. Yes, ridiculous. Genuinely stupid. That would be anyone's consensus if they saw this warrior fighting. 'Oh! A sidestep and slash. Nice move.' The warrior thought that he was just watching just finished their last monster. Godspeed then started to turn towards the town gates of Zand and walk.
CRAAAASHHH!
"Damn! What was that!?" yelled Godspeed, shocked and tensing up. He then turned around and saw what caused the sudden noise.
'A field boss? In these parts? Hmm… that rookie must of killed more Hobgoblins than I've expected.' After confirming the sudden appearance of the Hobgoblin King, he relaxed again. And then he started rolling his head back and forth, cracking it. Then he started to stretch his arms. And then his legs. Finally, he got in a sprinter's pose.
"This should give me a bit of XP," he said with a smirk.
"Dash."

BAM! The King's jaw crunched from Godspeed's rising knee.
[Critical!]
[The target has suffered 8,500 damage! The target is stunned for 3 seconds!]
'Good.' The sneak attack helped him to catch the boss off guard and it also helped him shave off more than a tenth of the boss' health.
"Wha—WHAT THE HE—BL@H!" Yelled out the crippled warrior, before suddenly keeling over.
'…Ew.' Nobody likes vomit.
"Second advancement…" murmured the warrior in complete awe after getting back up and leaning against the rock it crashed against.
'… I should at least give a little greeting,' thought Godspeed.
"Correct," he stated, with a simple wave of his hand and a smile. "You mind if I take this guy on myself?" He pointed at the dazed Hobgoblin King.
Still in awe, the warrior nodded his head in confirmation.
[Target stunned for 1 more second.]
'Ooh. Gotta be quick.' Godspeed then suddenly dug his foot beneath the King's body and then…
Fwoomph!
Launched him into the air.
"…3, 2, 1…" He kicked his foot up in the air.
…KABLAAM!
With a superfast axe-kick, Godspeed's heel landed right on the boss monster's Solar Plexus just before it touched the ground, crushing it lungs, and the ground with it.
[The target has lost 22,000 health and is bleeding!]
The target will lose 80 health every second.]
The target has lost 80 health.]
With the recoil, the King's body raised back into the air 3 feet.
"Hmph!" Our aggressor cocked his arm back.
"ALAKAZAAM!" he said voicing the sound effect, while his downward punch connected with the boss' ribs.
The victim's crater grew larger.
[17,200 damage has been dealt to the opponent!]
[The opponent's spine has been broken and is now paralyzed!]
The slaughter continued, and the hole in the ground grew deeper.
[The target has suffered 4,000 damage!]
The target has lost 80 health.]
[The target has suffered 3,200 damage!]
[The target has suffered 2,800 damage!]

"…Mm. That's almost 4%. Not bad, I must say. Maybe I should stay in this ground and have some more fun, huh?" said Godspeed jokingly to the fallen warrior.
"H—Holy Shit… How'd you even do that!?" asked the warrior in reply, in a very, very coarse way.
"Wow… very blunt with your words, huh? Well. I don't hate it, but others might. Be careful, alright?" replied Godspeed teasingly, while tapping his head.
"A-ah, yes. Of cours--- I mean…" He stuttered embarrassingly and coughed awkwardly. " I apologize for being so rude. I'm usually very meticulous about the words I say. It seems swears come out when I'm under pressure. Once again, sorry."
"It's alright."
"Oh… and… um, thanks for saving me from the Hobgoblin King. I would've been forcefully logged out if you didn't."
"Ooooh, yeah that would suck. Well, no problem, man!"
"Mm."
"…"
"…"
.....
.....
'…Awkward… Yeah, imma just go.'
"….Weeeeell, I'm gonna go ahead and walk off, so uh, see yah later… maybe."
'Lets get out of this atmosphere as quickly as possible,' though Godspeed, about to start hightailing it out of there. But, before he could start speeding up, the warrior spoke up.
"W-wait!"
'Crap.' He then turned around. "Yesssss?"
"Um, may I invite you to the bar for something to eat?"
'Food?'
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…You paying?"
