Takeshi Haruka POV:
Location: SouthWestofTradeheaven Village-
Job quest-
1.)Goblins nest discovered SouthWest from here about 3 kilometers near a small mountain terrain.Rank(C).(Jewels- 6,000)(Completed)
2.)Reports about Lord Goblins assemble together, rumors not confirmed, some where East from here about 2 Kilometers away.Rank(B)(Jewels-48,000)(Completed)

4.) A small group of Oxnoid have been spotted somewhere West from here about 6 kilometers away.Rank(A).(Jewels- 72,000)(Ongoing)
5.) A singular Oxnoid has been spotted, it's about 10-11 feet tall, in a forest nearby about 5 kilometers Northwest from here.Rank(A+)(Jewels-84,000)(Ongoing)
I'll do quest (4.) since it's much closer than the others.
I would need to go more into the west side about 4.5 kilometers away, it's not that far, however all the fighting has made me little hungry.
I then went over to the pond, I did sense a lot of life forms. I hover my hand over the pond and water gradually jumps up vertically in the air.
Many types of fish flopped out of the water, I then split some of the water into a water bubble holding 5 different fish.
Salmon(2) AmberJack(1) Mackerel(2) well there not bad for me to eat now,
about that fire would be useful.
I then drag the fish towards me, I then grab a rock on the ground. I then bring them one by.

I then whacked all the fish on the side of the head killing them, humanely possible.
I then picked up some twigs, fallen branches from trees and bushes.
I placed them on top of each other, then I grabbed two rocks to create sparks

There fire, not exactly a full fledged campfire, but it'll do for now.
I then picked up (5) sticks. I then inserted each stick into the fishes, then let the fire turn into charcoal , then hovered the fish-sticks over the charcoal to cook the fishes.
10 minutes later-
Well the fishes don't have any seasonings, but a nicely cooked fish will do fine.
"Itadakimasu!"
•clap

"You know it could have been worse."
I said to myself despite the fishes not having any seasoning. Now then quest (4) is only about 4.5 kilometers away from me. Plus another 2 kilometers for searching around the general area.
6 minutes later-
Location:SomewhereWestofTradeheaven Village-
I was in a small forest , I noticed quite a few life forms.
I detected 30 life forms, however there was only (8) real life organisms that peaked my interest.
The (8) life forms I detected, easily were higher than the goblin king and the mages from quest (1) single individuals about the same Mana/Spirit force.
I then used, Shadowstorage to pull out the (C+) rank goblin sword, I then used
Shadowstealth to hid myself in the shadows.
(Shadowstorage:The power to seal items into your shadow.)
(Shadowstealth:The power to hide within the shadows.)
I approach the (8) signals, that I have sense, there is (8) Oxnoids standing each 6 feet tall except for one that stood about 9 feet tall, but has a scar on its face and has a missing hand.
This 9 feet like creature, had quite the mana force, however its ability has been weakened, however I must dread carefully they have some what detected my presence.
The 9 feet Oxnoid is worried, it doesn't know where I am, however he could sense me to a certain extent.
"We have an intruder!"
•huff
Well now there on their guard, I could use that to my advantage by placing SealingDestruction, which would make my job a lot more easier.
(SealingDestruction:The ability to destroy seals. Sub-power of Seal Manipulation and Sealing.)
I placed a total of (10) SealingDestruction, seals around the forest . I then sensed the nearest Oxnoid(1) near me about 30 meters to my left. There was another Oxnoid (2) about 65 meters in front of me.
I then moved through shadows after shadows with Shadowstealth. I then appear behind Oxnoid (1) then with the new sword that I had , I stabbed the Oxnoid in the throat.
•pierce
•gush
•drop
It's body drops dead and hard on the ground. The Oxnoid (2) was alert of the fallen body, it moved towards the location.
It then looks around for any suspicious activity, however it cannot see me hiding in the shadows. I waited for Oxnoid (2) to call for reinforcements.
•Mooooooo
It's just as I expected it notification the group, I then used Shadowstealth for the last time and sneak up on the Oxnoid(2) side, then delivered a heavy swing towards its lumber region.
•swish
•slice
(Shadowstealth:The power to hide within the shadows.)
•drop
The Oxnoid (2) dead with its body cut in diagonal shape.

A Oxnoids (3,4,5) where charging into my direction , I then used Earthmud: to trap the three Oxnoids that rushed me, they immediately sink just about my head height.
(Earthmud- A offensive and defensive technique that sinks or traps your, opponent.)

With a quick motion and smooth slice, I cut off the Oxnoids heads(3,4,5) now their bodies still stuck in my EarthMud.
Now only 3 Oxnoids left , I didn't even used my seals, I guess I could save them for later.
Suddenly, I felt something tried to attack.
•swish
I dodged a attack that was made by a Oxnoid (6) they carried a sword about (Rank B) quality.
That is one fast cow.
Another attack, but with a different Oxnoid (7) it carries a metal mace about (Rank B) quality.
•bam
I moved out of the way of the attack, this one is slower ,but stronger than Oxnoid (6) they're a deadly duo by covering each other's weakness.
So if I attack Oxnoid (7) will immediately tank the blow do to its strength and endurance it must have. Oxnoid (6) will attack if I don't make a move.
Then there was another Oxnoid (8) it was the 9 feet tall Oxnoid it didn't carry a weapon, it just was standing there waiting for a proper time to strike.
Well this just got more interesting, they fight like a unit, this will some what help with when I go up against other humans.
I then casted a Earth Floor Manipulation, then launched four boulders, two on Oxnoid(6) the Oxnoid (6) barely dodges the two boulders.
•bam
•bam
Oxnoid (7) just tanked the boulders by smash it's metal club against them.
•bam
•bam
I then rushed at the (8) Oxnoid , I was about 3 meters away from it, and the Oxnoid (7) is only 4 meters, Oxnoid (6) is only 7 meters, however this charge at the (8) 9 feet Oxnoid was bait for the other Oxnoids (6 and 7) to move and it worked.
(Earth Floor Manipulation-This technique is by far the best offensive and defensive technique, able to shoot out floor chunks or boulder size rocks, in addition if I hold down hand signals,I'm able to trace down people with it.)
I then fainted targeting Oxnoid (8) ,but instead targeted Oxnoid (7) since it was the slowest of the two other Oxnoids. I then attacked its head/Skull, since it's the only place without any armor.
•ping
•crackle
Before I could pierce right through the Oxnoid (7) head , I was meat with a clashed from (6)Oxnoid the clash made me stagger.
I underestimated the Oxnoid (6) speed and agility. I then felt a burning/tingly sensation on my arms.
The Oxnoid wasn't just fast, but it's slightly physically stronger than me. If Oxnoid (7) is more physically stronger than the Oxnoid (6)it's probably best not to clash with it.
So that leaves the 9 feet Oxnoid (8) who hasn't done anything except for analyzing me. My intuition and instinct are telling me that this Oxnoid(8) is capable of manipulate or channel Mana force. So its taking it's time to study my attack patterns.
I then focus my attention to Oxnoids (6 and 7) they've regroup their attacks together, Oxnoids (6 and 7) both charged at me with similar speeds.
I placed my hands down and used,Earthmud: Oxnoid (7) wasn't fast enough to escape, but Oxnoid (6) was fast enough to dodge in the air, however I anticipated it's jump, then channeled my Mana all into Agility, then jumped in the air and delivered a killing blow towards its heart.
•pierce
•gush
(Earthmud- A offensive and defensive technique that sinks or traps your, opponent.)
I kicked off of Oxnoid (6) body then landed just above Oxnoid head (7) then delivered a brutal strike at its skull.
•pierce
I was then met with an attack from the 9 feet Oxnoid (8) and my initial guess was correct, it could manipulate mana.
It moved two times faster than Oxnoid (6) however it was also definitely stronger than Oxnoid (7).
I then quickly casted three Earthwalls, to protect me and also casted two Earthspikes to attack when it breaks through.
(Earthwall- The technique is a earth well technique that could protect/shield the user.)
(Earthspikes- A offensive earth technique that.)
•bam
•bam
•bam
Just as I predicted it destroyed the 3 earth walls, however it didn't occurred the Earthspikes that pierce his thigh that slows down its momentum.
•pierce
•gush
Blood poured down its thigh, thankfully this Oxnoid (8) was heavily injured they would have been more of a problem than Rank (B+) or maybe an (A).
It's not dead yet so, I asked a question that bugged me.
"Tell me something, did another Oxnoid about 12 feet tall did this to you."
I asked it didn't reply,but his eyes did from recognizing what I just described.
"..Y..Yes… there ..W.Was more of .U..Us."
•cough
The 9 feet tall Oxnoid confirmed the rumor report.
I then walked towards the nearly dead Oxnoid, but before I could kill it.
"W..watch out for its incredible power, it was able to kill18 more of us."
The Oxnoid warned me.
"Thanks for the tip."
I said then thanked it by stabbing the (8) Oxnoid in the heart.
Well since there heads and horns are valuable I might as well collect them.
5 minutes later-
I collect all of the Oxnoid heads, that I killed, I also collected all the SealingDestruction,ten of my seals I made sure to place ten rocks within hand size on the seals to be throw able bombs.
Now that's job quest-
4.) A small group of Oxnoid have been spotted somewhere West from here about 6 kilometers away.Rank(A).(Jewels- 72,000)(Completed )
Onwards to Northwest of TradeheavenVillage.
