Chapter 4 - RESPONSIBILITY

The goblins didn't stand still either, they immediately charged Alex, and both met in the middle of the path, while the goblin archer attacked from a distance with arrows

Which put a huge price on Alex since he had to divide his focus into three parts

'Whoever made these monsters, just cannon fodder in the novels, was very wrong, they are fast and because of their size it is easier for them to dodge, in addition to this damn teamwork' as he advanced he reasoned internally at a speed that would have been impossible before

And in seconds the two parties collided

First the goblin with the axe met Alex

Alex used his superior size, for a downward blow aiming towards the goblin's head with all his strength, the goblin used his larger weapon to defend himself from the blow

But the result shocked both the goblin and Alex, when the golden sword met the axe the result was the axe being split in half along with the goblin's entire body from head to toe, being divided almost equally into right and left

With the disgusting sight of blood, guts and bones in front of him, Alex felt a knot in his stomach, which was quickly suppressed

He didn't have time to think about it, because immediately the second goblin, after seeing his equal being cut in half as if it were butter, became furious and as a result his veins stood out all over his body, and he immediately became much stronger too

Because he reached Alex with a much higher speed than before, but Alex dodged at the last second, already preparing the counterattack

But before he could hit the goblin and attack him from a distance, he shot an arrow that Alex had to dodge, taking advantage of the gap the globin swordsman attacked Alex again

This time the two remaining goblins didn't underestimate Alex, not allowing him to land a single blow, because they knew that one blow caused their death

They used the work in team, numbers and the new strength of the goblin swordsman to corner the inexperienced Alex

But this advantage lasted only a few exchanges

The moment the goblin archer fired an arrow, Alex did something unthinkable in the situation: he didn't dodge and the arrow hit his left arm. Taking the opportunity to see the archer's location, Alex fixed his eyes on the creature's and without hesitation, let the archer move again as he had been doing throughout the fight

Alex grabbed the handle of his sword and after injecting some mana into the golden weapon, the sword changed in an instant and what was previously a long, two-edged sword, it transformed into a heavy sword twice as long

Moving away from the goblin swordsman, Alex made a throwing pose with the sword that was bigger than himself, and aimed at the goblin archer

But before throwing he paused and his veins became prominent, similar to the effect the goblin had done

And when everything was ready, he threw a heavy sword, which passed at an impressive speed and hit the head of the archer who was more than fifty meters away, killing the archer himself.

'Only one left now' thought Alex as he turned to the last living goblin

Seeing another of his companions die, the goblin went crazy and attacked Alex, but just because the last one was without a weapon, he was furious but he wasn't going to die for nothing

But taking advantage of the superior strength he now had, Alex dodged the goblin's attack and struck the arm that was holding a sword, making the goblin's sword fly away, and now also without a weapon, the goblin didn't notice a second time and turned to run, probably to the village or to find more goblins

"As if I would let him" said Alex

And in the next instant a brand new golden sword appeared in Alex's hand, but this time it transformed into a golden katana

And at the same moment Alex transferred a horizontal blow before the goblin could start running, ripping off the goblin's head monster

Alex felt his body getting stronger, but quickly recovered from the feeling

And went to check the monsters' bodies

He found some pieces of armor that would be useful, as well as a small leather bag on the archer's waist

But decided to check later and went towards the bus to calm the people

Already feeling the weight of everyone's responsibility on his shoulders

'I think all this power, and this class, that I have, makes me very strong and I can get stronger very quickly, but it also makes me feel responsible for them, since most of them are just children, I think things will only get harder from now on' thought Alex as he went to the bus with a sigh

Alex reached the bus and immediately opened the door and got in

"Guys, you can deactivate your abilities, it's me, and things have calmed down. Well, at least for now," Alex said, but said the last part to himself

"Mister Alex!?"

The children responded almost in unison, letting out a sigh of relief and letting out a breath they didn't even know they were holding

Some were sweating buckets from keeping their abilities active for all this time

"I was worried, I was scared!" said a young girl who was no more than 7 years old, with tears in her eyes

She had blonde hair, light green eyes, she was wearing a pink dress, with a green tiara on her head, looking like a princess with her little face still having baby fat, she made any adult want to pinch her cheeks

Next to her was a woman in her 30s, probably her mother. The woman had brown hair and green eyes, just like her daughter. She had a very athletic body, well developed in the right places, as she was a physical education teacher, which made her worry about her physical shape. She wore casual clothes but still didn't hide her curves. She had a good personality, which made all the students like her.

"It's okay now, Sofi, I'm back," Alex said to the young girl as he stroked her head.

She was the daughter of Professor Stella, and she was the school mascot, since she was a single mother and the teacher constantly took her to school. Both staff and students liked them, especially Sofi, because she was very cute.

"Okay, now let's resolve the important issues," Alex said in a serious tone, because the next decisions they would make would be essential for their survival.

They nodded, accepting whatever Alex said, in their heads. They all already had the young adult as their leader

Especially with his show of strength a moment ago

Having received approval he began to devise a plan that after some thought seemed decent enough to keep them alive

"I don't know where we are, or why we're here, but I know that this world looks a lot like the worlds where the novels and animes take place, and based on that I thought of the following plan" said Alex

But not even he could guarantee that the plan would work, since the lack of information was unnerving

He himself would already be desperate, if it weren't for his class

'I spent my life wanting to go from isekai to another world, but that's only happening now that I've anchored on Earth, now that I really wanted to stay on Earth' he could be calm but in truth he was going through several maddening emotions

'But this isn't the time to think about that, the priority is to survive' he shook his head before turning his attention to the crowd in front of him that needed a leader and guidelines to survive

And he accepted this responsibility willingly, since he would use all means to survive, especially the strength of the collective

"First let's go...."
