Between The Strongest and The Weakest Family
Chapter 47: All I Can Do Is Survive

Reinherz opened the large bag that his mother and father had given him during the exam, and Reinherz lined up the items in the bag one by one.

“hhhmm.

Inside the bag were two bags of water, food for a few days, a bow and arrow, two daggers, one sword, a map, and several books.

“Huh?!, what book is this?, in the title of the book reads “Botani Explore”, there is also a book “Rules”, and there is a book that says “Tool Maker”, and there is a book that reads, looks like I should read these books first” said Reinherz.

Reinherz then read it, starting from a book called “Rules”, because according to Reinherz this is probably the most important part of the book, in the book, written what Reinherz should do and what is forbidden, he said, of all the prohibitions most only recommended, but there is a writing that makes it very prohibited, namely “Don't Ever Enter Deep Forest”, Reinherz who was curious then took a map.

“oohh.., well then, and also it seems very dangerous to go in too deep also” says Reinherz while looking at the map.

It is not known why Reinherz could not enter the Deep Forest, but Reinherz simply said that his father and mother had invited him, so he also did not want to go too far into the forest that he did not know.

After Reinherz read the book titled “Rules”, then Reinherz took the book entitled “Botani Explore”, Reinherz read the book only at a glance, and then he read the book, the book is only knowledge about edible plants, and can also be used for seasoning.

Then Reinherz read a book called “Tool Maker”, in the book there are ways to make weapons and tools with makeshift materials to survive.

“these books are very important I will keep well” say Reinherz.

after reading, Reinherz put it in his bag, along with other items except the map.

Reinherz then opened the map of the Rohirir Forest, a map that provided enough information, especially the water problem, which is on the mind Reinherz is currently looking for a source of water such as a river or spring, water is one of the most important elements for survival.

“*haa...* shit..\, the distance from where I am to the water source may be about 6-8 hours\, that too if there is no obstacle like monster\, that is\, but somehow I have to get there before sundown\, because the night of the water source is very dangerous” said Reinherz.

Reinherz quickly folded his map and put it in his bag, and Reinherz put on his bag and was ready to set out to find a source of water.

“Alright even though my father and mother are bastards for abandoning me, but inevitably I have to survive in this unknown forest, I do not know, but I'll do it and be strong” says Reinherz with determination.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later.....

Reinherz leaned against a tree while holding his blood-stained dagger.

“ha.. ha.. ha.., damn... a lot of monsters, it seems like I need about a day to the water source if it is always like this”.

Before long Reinherz rested in shock with the sound of an approaching monster.

Grr....

Appearing two Direwolves who were approaching Reinherz, Direwolf showed off his sharp fangs which showed their aggressive nature.

“Sial..., why do they always pop up” says Reinherz.

Reinherz then positioned the horses and prepared to attack.

Grrr....

Whoshh....

One Direwolf leapt at Reinherz quickly, Direwolf took out his large claws to tear Reinherz apart, but Reinherz quickly repelled the Direwolf.

Clangs..

Srrieg...

When Reinherz was fending off, the other Direwolf leapt from above and opened his mouth wide which was filled with his sharp fangs, Reinherz instantly reflexed and swung his sword upwards, swinging his sword up, Reinherz instantly aimed at Direwolf's neck for instant kill.

Whhhoosh....

Splash...

Direwolf, however, avoided Reinherz's attack and only scratched Direwolf's cheek.

“Sial.. was not hit.!!” tell Reinherz who's upset.

Then the Direwolf from above kicked Reinherz in the chest hard.

Brakes...

Ssrraa....

Reinherz who was hit by the attack bounced some 3 meters from where he stood.

“Sial..., why is it now two, one is already very troublesome”

But Reinherz could not relax, the two Direwolves began to surround Reinherz to find a weak point, Direwolf is a type of monster that is smart in hunting with a group, Direwolf, Reinherz had to be careful if facing Direwolf more than one, Reinherz then observed Direwolf surrounding him, Reinherz saw Direwolf just roaring and trying to scare Reinherz, then one Direwolf attacked.

Wwwhhoosh...

One Direwolf attacked Reinherz, then Reinherz dodged the attack, while avoiding Reinherz gaining a gap to attack, then Reinherz stabbed one of Direwolf's eyes.

Splash.....

The Direwolf retreated with his eyes in pain from Reinherz's stab, and the other Direwolf attacked.

Whhoss...

Clangs..

Brakes...

Whosh's...

Reinherz then took several steps back to draw up another attack, but Reinherz saw Direwolf become very angry, Reinherz did not want this fight to be long, and Reinherz wanted to end it quickly.

“huu...!!, which was really stressful, I had to end it quickly, because my current goal to find the source of the water” said Reinherz.

Reinherz then advanced quickly, one Direwolf who was still unharmed advancing also attacking Reinherz.

Whosh....

Reinherz swung his dagger at the head of the Direwolf, but Direwolf pounced on Reinherz's dagger, while Reinherz threw one of his daggers in his left hand upward, then Reinherz opened his hand and used magic.

“[Fire]”

Whhoosh...

Reinherz makes a fire that is being directed to the left side of the Direwolf's body, then Reinherz attacks with his fire, the Direwolf is in pain and releases the dagger in Reinherz's right hand, which is now in pain, Reinherz who saw the opportunity immediately aimed at Direwolf's neck and directly slashed at him.

Whosh's...

Splash...

One dead Direwolf, not quite there, the left-handed dagger that Reinherz had in his hand had still not fallen to the ground and was still thrown, as the dagger descended down, the dagger fell down, Reinherz then took the dagger and immediately threw his left dagger at the Direwolf.

Whoosh's...

The Direwolf who saw Reinherz's dagger coming towards him immediately dodged and retreated, but Direwolf lost the other, and Reinherz then immediately lunged into the Direwolf blind spot.

Whosh's...

Reinherz slashed Direwolf's head off.

Whosh's...

Splash....

The battle was over, Reinherz then sat down to rest.

“ha.. ha. ha..., shit... very troublesome once” says Reinherz is quite tired.

But Reinherz had no time to keep moving, but before he went on, there was something he had to do first, and then he saw Direwolf's body.

“seems like their meat can be eaten, before leaving it's good I skinned and took Direwolf meat, and made use of what” can utilize.

Reinherz then took the meat and skinned Direwolf, after everything was done, Reinherz took his bag and continued on his way.

As he walked to the water source, Reinherz discovered many things, such as the medicinal plants he saw in the book and took them, Reinherz did not forget to take some spices that he could make as an experiment for cooking.

Not to forget that during the journey Reinherz always observed various places as a place for him to search for hunting land and find materials, he had to do this alone so that he could survive.

The sun began to set, but Reinherz continued to walk for him to reach his destination, but before long he walked he heard the sound of running water.

“hooo...., looks like I'll be there soon, I hope this is true” says the excited Reinherz.

Reinherz then ran towards the sound of the flowing water, in the dark night, Reinherz found a very clear river flow, The river flowed profusely, the water flowed, and the reflection of the moon he water that began to shine the night became beautiful.

“aaarrrgghhh...., I finally found the river” said Reinherz was very happy.

Reinherz then took the water with both palms and washed his face.

“Aaahhh..., very scrumptious and fresh”.

When he reached his destination, Reinherz then looked for a place for him to make a home during practice, Reinherz then walked about 15 meters from the river, which he did, the place he chose was no walkway and surrounded by trees, so there were rarely any ferocious beasts that might approach him.

“It looks like this place is good to be my home base”

Reinherz then put the bag down, Reinherz then went to find wood for him to make a campfire, after getting enough wood, and then he went to look for wood, Reinherz then arranged the logs and placed the stones around the wood, Reinherz then extended one of his palms to the wood to use magic.

“[Fire]”.

Whosh's....

Reinherz then took out fire magic and burned wood, not forgetting that Reinherz took out the Direwolf skin he had covered, during Reinherz's journey against the three Direwolves, even though Direwolf's skin had not been dried and was still wet, Reinherz kept wearing it because there was no time to be disgusted.

“*haa..* shit..\, don't want me to do this”

Reinherz then sat by the campfire on a three-leather Direwolf pad he had arranged, Reinherz not wanting to move much at night to invite monsters, and decided to rest tonight.

Reinherz lay in a temporary bed and tired from his long and dangerous journey, Reinherz looked up at the sky, raised one of his hands and opened it wide.

“What will I do tomorrow?, I can't feel safe forever, I don't want to die here, I have to survive until the end, tomorrow I have to practice, I have to practice, otherwise I will continue to be weak, and in the forest have an absolute rule, that is “the strong will eat the weak”, during this test I will show my father and mother that I will become stronger” said Reinherz with strong determination while clenching his hands to the sky.

When he had spoken alone, Reinherz was already feeling very tired and sleepy, Reinherz then began to look into his eyes, and he fell into a deep sleep until tomorrow morning.
