### The Goblin Den
Aldric used some kind of levitation magic to make the magic stones float in the air beside him as he disappeared.
*I wonder what he needs the magic stones for? They're only F-rank.*
After a while, the scene shifted to a special cave filled with numerous goblin corpses lying on the floor. Inside, Aldric and Lyriana were removing the magic stones from the corpses using blood magic.
At the cave's entrance, a goblin suddenly ran out.
Inside the cave, Draven drew his bowstring as the Mana in the air condensed into an arrow. He released it, and the arrow pierced the goblin through the head before continuing onward and embedding itself in a tree.
Draven walked out of the cave.
"And that's the last one."
*I read that they kidnap female humans, but I didn't see any inside the cave. I kind of thought I was going to see a human.*
Looking at the dead goblin, he continued his thoughts.
*I don't know if it's just me, but I think this thing kind of looks like elves, except for their green skin.*
He immediately pictured a goblin's face beside an elf's and quickly shook the thought out of his mind.
*Nah, they're way too fucking ugly.*
Lyriana and Aldric soon walked out of the cave, each with a cluster of magic stones floating beside them.
As Lyriana approached Draven, she used blood magic to extract the magic stone from the dead goblin. It floated into the air and joined the others beside her.
"Young Master, we've collected all the magic stones," she said. "Do you intend to continue your archery practice, Young Master? If so, I shall begin surveying the area for any—"
"Don't bother. I think that's enough for today," Draven interrupted.
Looking at the clusters of magic stones floating beside the two siblings, he thought, *Are they using some kind of magic to make them float?*
"Let's go back," he said.
The three of them quickly disappeared.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of Draven's room.
He opened the door, and they walked inside.
