"Are we there yet?" Sam huffed and puffed as he was tired from the walking he had done with the group .

"Just a bit more and we'll be there," Maria said as she looked at him with a frown .

"You said that every time, hasn't it been like half of an hour yet?" Sam said as he was feeling fatigued .

"Just be patient, and it's only been half of an hour . So how are you tired? We've been walking and not running . " Maria scolded him .

"Can we at least take a break in that cave over there?" Sam said as he pointed at the cave up ahead .

"Fine, we can take a break there . Wait, did you just say a cave?" Maria said as she turned around to look at what he was pointing towards .

"Yeah, a cave . Let's go rest . Good thing I brought some water . " Sam said as he quickly went into the cave to sit down and drink his water .

After taking out his water sack he took off hid the lid before putting it in his mouth .

"GLUG GLUG GLUG GLUG" Sam immediately drank the entire pouch before wiping his mouth . He then breathed in relief as he could finally rest .

"I think this is the cave where the goblins lie," Maria said .

"Oh, that's great . What a coincidence, we can actually let Sam rest here before we prepare . After we finish resting, we can go eliminate those goblins for our promotion . " Lance said as he took his bag and started to find a lamp .

"The faster we turn in the mission, the faster we'll rank up . The higher the rank we are, the more fame we shall receive . " Lance said as he held the lamp to his face before looking at the rest .

"Yep! And we'll aim for number one!" Maria said happily .

"Number one it is! We'll become better than heroes and the demon king!" Lance said as they all had dreams . Dreams to be the best at their aspect .

Lance wanted to be the strongest swordsman . Sam wanted to be the richest person in the world . Maria wanted to be the best healer in the world . Elise wanted to be the closest to mother nature . Benji wanted to master everything . Chad wanted to have a harem . And Maal, she just wanted everyone to be happy .

As for Sylvie, her goal is to be the best magician in the world . Each and every one of them had different ideas and goals . However, the way to reach their goal? It is all the same, it is by putting in the effort .

"GABU!?!" A sudden shout was heard from inside the cave .

"What was that?" Sam said as he got up all of a sudden in fright .

"That was a goblin cry," Elise said .

"Get ready for combat everybody . " She added as she drew her bow .

"GABUU!!?" A entire group of goblins came rus.h.i.+ng at them .

"ATTACK!" Elise said as she let go of the first arrow as it pierced a goblins head, and killing it .
