| Months after Noble Fencer is rescued, she has set up a training school for novice adventurers which causes a fresh influx of novices to arrive at the town. Priestess has been an adventurer for over a year and is no longer a novice. Goblin Slayer has become popular and respected by experienced adventurers, and a subject of gossip among novices. An arrogant novice adventurer, Wizard Boy, arrives proclaiming he will kill goblins but Goblin Slayer turns down his request to teach him. Due to Wizard Boy's foolish attitude towards goblins and with nowhere to sleep, Goblin Slayer takes him to Cow Girl’s farm. His attitude doesn’t improve and he outright refuses Goblin Slayer's advice to practice hunting rats first. Priestess is saddened to learn she has been passed over for promotion to the next adventurer rank due to the belief she is being carried by her Silver-ranked party members, so High Elf Archer suggests she party with adventurers closer to her own rank. Wizard Boy mocks Priestess' indecisiveness but his arrogance quickly alienates all the other adventurers. Female Knight then intervenes and challenges Wizard Boy to prove himself by killing a goblin while teamed up with Priestess as his party leader. | ||||||

| Priestess takes the lead on the next goblin slaying quest and learns an adventurer party has already gone missing, worrying Priestess at the fate of the female adventurers. Wizard boy is baffled they actually stop to decide on tactics, still insisting goblins are unintelligent beasts. They start killing goblins but Wizard Boy is angry they are moving too slowly. He foolishly rushes ahead upon hearing a female prisoner being tortured and though he kills his first goblin he is surrounded by goblins and a troll. Priestess starts to panic so Goblin Slayer takes charge, quickly formulating a plan that kills the troll and the goblins and rescues the prisoner. Wizard Boy still refuses to admit Goblin Slayer was right about goblins, revealing his older sister was killed by goblins on her first quest and was mocked by her classmates for it. He is determined to prove her death was due to bad luck and not because she was actually defeated by mere goblins. Priestess realizes his sister was Wizard, one of her teammates who died the day she met Goblin Slayer. Goblin Slayer also realizes this and leaves to be alone, feeling guilty about his failure to save Wizard. | ||||||
