The stone in his hand carved a heavy mark on the rock wall. Looking at the notches on the rock face, I think back to what has happened to me in the past ten days......

From the cave where I was born, we were taken to another strange cave, and then there were several goblins who taught us the basic tribal language.

I don't know what happened to the elf? Mother... She must still be suffering, damn it!, I clenched my fists and swung them against the rock wall.

This is probably the so-called underground world, and I and other children are currently living in this cave......

Listen to the goblins who teach us the language and say that there seems to be a competition tomorrow...... What would it be? Exams, battles, elections?

While I was still thinking about what would happen tomorrow, a goblin warrior in chain mail strode up to me and looked me up and down.

"Huh?" I let out a somewhat confused voice, why did you look at me like this? That look made me uncomfortable, and besides, the goblin warrior in chain mail in front of me was very muscular, and it was completely different from the goblin who taught us the language.

"Is that the guy? the first to stand up among the toddlers?" the goblin warrior in chain mail gave me a cold look, then turned his head and asked the goblin who was teaching the other toddlers.

"My lord, that's right, this guy. Hearing the goblin warrior's inquiry, the goblin who was teaching the clan language replied tremblingly.

"Kid, you probably understand what I'm saying, don't you?" the Goblin Warrior asked me as he suddenly crouched down.

Hearing this, I hurriedly nodded in affirmation.

"Tomorrow there is a trial of the children's election, and if you pass, choose a warrior. Understood?" the Goblin Warrior looked at me with serious eyes as he verbally recounted what I had to do tomorrow.

"Understood. I replied a little timidly.

"Rest well. The Goblin Warrior finished speaking and turned to leave.

The food was noticeably better that day, not the hard-to-swallow wild vegetables or the disgusting insects. In front of us was a large chunk of freshly cooked meat, but I don't know exactly what kind of flesh it was.

After the goblin food that cared for us was distributed, the toddlers rushed up to compete with each other for the meat in front of them. Seeing this scene, the corners of my mouth hooked slightly, rather than going to the front of the crazy robbery, it is better to retreat and wait until both sides are defeated to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

As they fought, a few pieces of meat were occasionally torn apart and flew out, at which point I jumped up and snatched them down.

"Oh, you see that guy is really scheming!" the goblin not far away noticed my actions and said to his companion in surprise.

"He's smart, he might be able to be a good fighter in the future. "When I saw my actions, my companions also praised me with appreciation.

With a lot of effort, I grabbed a total of ten palm-sized pieces of meat, and I ate six pieces to fill my stomach. But there is still a superfluity, what should I do? It's a big trouble to keep holding it, so it's better to give it to someone else in order not to cause trouble.

I saw a thin toddler in the corner not far away, so I might as well give him the meat. Walking up to him, I looked at him carefully. He seemed to notice me and curled up timidly.

"Eat. I put the meat in front of him and left.

"Thanks... "The emaciated goblin thanked me nervously, and when he saw me leave, he took a big bite of meat.

I don't know what tomorrow's trial will be......

............

"Listen, imps, now I'm sending you to the Hall of Trials, and you'll have to follow me next!" the goblin warrior in chain mail from yesterday had arrived, and shouted to us who had just woken up.

I was a little puzzled by what the warrior had just said. In this underworld... And what kind of architecture?

"Keep up with the team!" said a few soldiers who had fallen behind in the team.

Confusion and fear are the main emotions of the children nowadays, but I am looking forward to this trip. In addition to the Goblin Warriors... There must still be mages in goblins, right?

Just as I was still thinking about the warriors, magicians, and the like, the team stopped, and I stopped......

"What's wrong?" I don't know who made a confused voice, and suddenly the children panicked and made a noise.

"Ignition!"

The voice of the old man came from ahead of us, and the next moment the torches hanging from the surrounding rock walls burst into flames.

And that's... Burning torches have brightened the area.

"This is it?!" I was shocked to see that there were three floors of auditorium high up in front of us.

Sitting at the bottom of the table seem to be the most ordinary goblin soldiers, their equipment is not very good, and some of them are even uneven. But no matter how you say it, you can't underestimate them, after all, they all have combat experience. When they saw the panicked toddlers, they laughed.

On the second level are goblin warriors in armor and sturdy bodies, who are significantly better equipped than ordinary soldiers. They looked at us with a steady face, as if they were picking something.

"That's?" In the second layer, I noticed the other goblins in addition to the warriors, who were neither wearing heavy armor like the warriors. Leather armor? I'm pretty sure it's some kind of animal skin.

"They?" said the goblin warrior standing beside me smirked just as I wondered.

"Cavalry. He said solemnly.

Cavalry, wolf cavalry, and it dawned on me when I saw the wolf on the second layer. That's remarkable......

As for the goblins sitting on the third floor, it seems to be completely different from the first and second floors in terms of temperament. Sitting in the center is like an old man. What's going on? I didn't see the goblin's face clearly.

His face was covered by a hood, and just as I wanted to look at him further, he seemed to notice me.

"Oh?" two red rays of light floated in the depths of his hood, and I was sure he was watching me right now.

In addition to him, there were other elderly goblins in robes on the third floor.

Goblin Soldiers, Goblin Warriors, Mages, looking at the three layers of people in the heights, I am in a kind of stalemate, what am I supposed to be?

Magician, warrior, or miscellaneous soldier that I don't think much of? I couldn't help but struggle with what the warrior had said to me before......

If I can pass the trial, I will become a warrior! After all, it is important to train my physique now, but the most important thing is to learn the skills of fighting.

While the children stood still and didn't know what to do, the high-level executives sitting in the audience were discussing various issues with each other. Some discuss the content of the upcoming trials, some discuss how to assign their new members later, others emphasize that they want the strongest children, etc......

"Listen! The next test for you is to defeat the Horned Rabbit! Kill it! Survive! Let's see how strong you are? Understand?!"

The Goblin Warrior standing beside me solemnly announced the upcoming trial and explained the main points of the trial.

"Understood!" we replied loudly.

"Okay! !! fire," the Goblin Warrior shouted to the miscellaneous soldiers at the bottom of the audience.

Swords, knives, shields, daggers, darts, bows and arrows...... The weapons were dropped from the auditorium.

After a while, the children had a weapon to protect themselves, and I was given a short sword and a small round shield on my left hand.

Seeing us take our weapons, the Goblin Warrior nodded in the direction of the audience.

"The trial begins!" the warrior officially announced the start of the trial, and then left the time venue.

"Click-click-" A steel door slowly opened below the auditorium. The sight of the metal door that was opening made me nervous.

The passage inside the metal door seemed to have no light at all, which made the toddlers tremble.

What kind of monster could that be?!!Thinking of this, the right hand holding the dagger clenched tightly......

I'm definitely going to survive!
