The Author's POV

*Achoo!* *Achoo!* *Achoo!*

Yo, what's up with me today?

Is it really true that I'm immune to the flu?

I mean, I've been sneezing too many times lately. It's not even funny anymore.

In the end, I let it go as I had more pressing issues to take care of. Wiping my nose, I headed deeper into the dungeon.

As I headed deeper into the dungeon, I refrained from running.

Honestly, I was pretty much walking.

Currently, the armband on my arm had a large [79] displayed on it. After killing a few more goblins I pretty much hit my goal.

Since I've accomplished what I had set my mind to from the very beginning, the rest wasn't a priority. I didn't need to get a good time as I've already secured a high score for this examination.

Funnily enough, I think that even though I was walking, I was currently one of the fastest students.

I mean, on multiple occasions I've seen students pass me...but after a short bit, I would eventually surpass them as they would always be held back by goblins.

This happened so many times, that I estimated that I was pretty much one of the fastest people present.

Perhaps walking was the most efficient method...I mean, just let the students who were in a rush handle all of the goblins in your stead.

At this point, rather than this being an exam, it was just me having a leisurely stroll.

-Clank! -Clank!

"H-elp!"

As I was walking, I soon saw a student in distress. Squinting my eyes, I soon spotted him fighting multiple goblins at once.

'Two regular goblins and a goblin knight?'

Getting a better look at his situation, I soon spotted him being surrounded by two regular goblins and a goblin that was wearing a knight armor. A goblin knight

...yeah.

The further I went into the dungeon, the more variations of goblins I spotted. I saw a goblin mage on multiple occasions, a goblin knight, a goblin fighter...just why did there have to be so many types of goblins.

...okay, this was my fault on my end, as I was too lazy to come up with different monsters, but still...past me, couldn't you have been a little bit more original?

*Sigh*

In the end, I could only sigh at how unoriginal I was at times. To have considered this novel a masterpiece...I don't know what I was on at that time.

Either way, looking at the student who was desperately looking at me, I raised my hands and innocently said

"...Don't look at me, just having a leisurely stroll here."

I mean, his intentions were obvious.

Use me as cannon fodder for him to get rid of the goblins or transfer them to me. This way he could reap all of the benefits whilst I struggle to deal with the goblins.

...like the professor said, never trust someone inside of dungeons.

I've learned this lesson the hard way.

"Wh-at, help, I'm in danger here! H-ow can you let a fellow student fail? A-fter this we can work together"
