Going back to the day Rick left the tribe on his journey to strength, we find Jaba, at the highest tier of hobgoblins surrounded by his unevolved tribe members while he tried to figure out just what to do regarding the plan Rick left behind.

Rick said something about taking two goblins at a time to fight horned rabbits until they leveled up, but I’m not too sure what this whole leveling thing is about, is it just getting stronger and smarter after fights?

Hm, I need more information, hopefully that weird goblin survives and comes back soon. Anyway, instead of taking two, I’m going to take everyone, so I can show the entire tribe at the same time, except for the ones on guard duty though.

Since unevolved goblins aren’t the smartest, I need to keep this short and direct. It’s not like I was planning to give a special speech anyway, and I don’t think I need to stand for everyone to hear me, but let’s do it anyway.

“Everyone listen up! The stone monsters are coming and we are too weak to survive! So everyone will get stronger! We’re going to train, follow me!”

The goblins looked perplexed at Jaba for a second, they couldn’t understand why the sudden need for everyone to go outside.

But they did remember the stone monsters and how many goblins died, although barely, so with that and the fact they all respected Jaba as their leader since he was the strongest goblin around, everyone quickly got up and followed Jaba outside.

Okay I think that went well, they looked a little lost at first but they all followed me in the end. No for the hard part, would showing them the sidestep move I showed the weird goblin work for them too?

That goblin was a lot smarter than these guys, and I think he’s smarter than me, so I’m not sure if this will work for the normal goblins too.

Anyway, if you take away myself, Rick the weird goblin who just left, and the four goblins on guard duty, that leaves twenty-two goblins here to teach.

Okay, I’m not the smartest goblin in the world, but I do know how to fight so let’s just show them the moves a few times without fighting one of the rabbits, then I’ll show them again while fighting a couple rabbits.

Yeah that should do it, hopefully they get the picture even though I’m using the same spear I had before I evolved so it’s really small. Do I have to go hunting somewhere else to make a bigger one? Maybe Rick will bring one. Anyway let's show them how to fight now.

“Everyone pay attention, this is how you fight!”

All the goblins keenly looked on as Jaba began showing them how to thrust with the little spear he had in his hands, even though he looked awkward with the spear that was obviously too small for his body, they seemed to understand his movements.

He did thrusting movement repeatedly before transitioning into a sidestep, followed by an arcing slash.

The goblins didn’t quite understand how to do the sidestep at first but after Jaba did it numerous times, they got the general gist of it.

Alright I just showed them how to thrust,sidestep and slash from above. I’m not sure if they understand by just watching, but the best way to learn is to do it yourself.

I just now realized we don’t have enough spears for everyone, but they all know how to make one, so I sent half of the group to gather a few sturdy sticks lying around and then back to the cave to turn them into spears with the horns we have left over.

While the other group went to get the leftover spears we have left, just enough to have eleven goblins practice.

So when they return I have them line up and begin some repetitive thrusting. Correcting any mistakes they make during the process, I have them continue doing so until they start to tire before awarding them a little break.

It was during this break that I realized something. I really enjoy teaching my fellow goblins how to fight.

I realized it a little bit whenever I trained Rick, but seeing all these little goblins trying their best to learn makes me happy for some reason, though I’ll never tell any of them that.

After a few moments pass I quickly get them back training, though this time I get them going with the sidestep and overhead arcing slash.

There were a lot more errors and mistakes this time around, though I expected this.

If anything this made me happy, being able to teach these little ones through everything is really fulfilling.

The way they just listen to me and try their very best to put forth what I tell them, it’s just something about it that warms my heart. I could get used to this.

After drilling them for a little bit, I think it’s time to show them how this set of moves works on the horned rabbits we eat. But If I bring everyone on the hunt we’ll never catch anything, so do I take them one at a time?

No, that's going to take too long. Oh what if I catch one and bring it here, that should work I think. I’ve never caught a horned rabbit before, but with how much stronger and faster I feel, I think it should be easy.

Alright let's do that.

“Alright, everyone stay here and continue to practice what I showed you! I’ll be right back!”

And with that the group of goblins continued to train, while Jaba swiftly vanished into the surrounding woods in search of one of the many surrounding horned rabbits. While back inside the other group of goblins were busy toiling away in the making of those spears. All in all, it was quite an eventful day in the lives of the goblins living in this small cave.
