As Vera stared at the new quest she had just received, she could not help but smile.
' The system has a quest feature!'
Vera read a variety of novels and the protagonists who had a quest function always seemed to progress faster. Vera started to feel confident that she had a chance to become strong enough to explore the world freely.

2. Little One's Ambition
...
'Huh? When was the second quest added?' Vera pondered to herself.
{ QUEST: Find Aria }
{ QUEST OBJECTIVES }
1. Find Aria
{REWARD: ??? }
{ DESCRIPTION: Find Aria. }
' Who's Aria ?'
Vera thought back in her memories trying to recall anyone by that name. Then she remembered, Aria was who creepy suit guy wanted her find. She knew that finding this person must be important and she would eventually get around to doing so but, this quest was not dire at the moment. She has to become a hunter first.
However, Vera found a small problem. If she tried to leave the farm, an enforcer would whack her with a stick. Fighting back against the enforcers was out of the question. Vera had witnessed another goblin trying to fight an enforcer only for three more to show up and beat him half to death and force him to work injured. A wise man said to learn from the mistakes of others.
If she wanted to become a hunter she would need to express her desire somehow. She did not know their language nor did she did not know the requirements to become a hunter.
"KEGGE' WAPTA!" screamed an enforcer.
All of the goblins working on the farm got up and headed towards where the enforcers were handing out the food. Surprisingly, they all lined up and waited for their turn. For barbaric creatures like goblins, this was astonishing to Vera. Vera realized that her biases from her world may very well prove themselves untrue. She needed to take some information with a grain of salt.
'I really expected them to being brawling over the tiniest morsel of food, Vera mused, 'they are more civilized than that of their novel and game counterparts."
After getting in line and eating her food, Vera saw the hunters return and sat around a fire, eating what seemed to be rabbit meat. There were 5 of them and each had a swords with them. If you want to join someone, you have to approach them.
So Vera snuck away from her group. With the farmers eating and the enforcers still handing out food, it was surprisingly easy. As long as the hunters did not randomly start swinging their weapons, Vera would be fine.
'They seem quite organized, so random attacks should be rare.'
With this thought in mind, Vera arrived at the location where the hunters met up. In her observation, it seemed that the goblins mostly communicated with gestures. So, even if she could not understand their language, she could communicate through actions.

As she arrived at the hunters meeting spot, they all stared at her. The strong gazes made Vera feel slightly uncomfortable but she did not shy away.
"GAA 'AARAAP KEELOPE BOOGGEEEIII !!" shouted the smallest one with an ugly smug smile plastered on his face.
Vera pointed at his rusty sword then to herself. The other goblins eyes widened at her actions and Mr. Smug went quiet.
Vera did not know that the goblins viewed her actions as trying to take away the sword from Mr. Smug. Taking a hunter's weapon was only done hunter group when a goblin intended to replace one of hunters. The two would fight and if the hunter lost, a demotion to enforcer awaited them.
Then Mr. Smug who had shouted at Vera had only just gotten his position reached level 2. He was drunk on the feeling of power that leveling gave.
Picking up is broken rusted sword, he pointed it at Vera which made her take a step back. The goblin's smug smile got even worse. He slowly swung the sword which was too large for him causing him to move forward from the weight of the blade.
'THE INSTANTLY STARTED SWINGING HIS SWORD!'
Luckily, the speed he could swing it, Vera easily avoided the sword. However, fear of the blade kept her at a distance continuously backing up.
' IF HE EVEN SCRATCHES ME WITH THAT SWORD, WONT I GET TETANUS!'
'Wait. Can goblins even get tetanus?'
While Vera dodged for dear life, the other goblins hunters shouted and cheered on. Just then the goblin leapt into the air and brought down his sword from above. Vera dove to the ground to avoid the strike and the sword embedded into the ground. Seeing her opportunity, Vera pushed herself off the dirt path and dashed at her enemy and delivered a devasting uppercut to his jaw.
Vera's goblin body was more powerful than she thought because Mr. Smug flew 2 meters away. Vera was not exactly new to fighting. She had gotten into many scabbles in high school and matured after graduation yet this was the first time she ever seen someone being raised off the ground from an uppercut.
Mr. Smug was not down yet as he tried to get back on his feet but, Vera refused to let him. She mounted him and started sending blow after blow relentlessly. Vera heard the sound of something breaking but she did not stop hitting him. The fear of being stabbed or cut kept her from doing so.
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!"
As Mr. Smug started to panic and trying to push Vera off of him, a loud horn was blown. The one who had blown the horn was none other than the village chief who was followed by a few enforcers. He was covered in bright red colored rags and his tall muscular body made his presence imposing to the smaller goblins.
Seeing the village chief, both Vera and Mr. Smug stopped fighting. The chieftain carried an enforcer stick in his hand and threw it at Mr. Smug. He then retrieved towards Mr. Smug's sword that was still stuck in the ground and gave it to me.
