The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 16 is disappointed

The days passed until the time when we were going to go up to the second year. But before that, we will get a test that will determine whether we deserve to ride or even stay in the first year.

The theme of the test this time was that we had to go on an expedition in the forest and pick up some materials to pass this test.

Some level 3 students will be supervisors placed in each group taking this exam.

I am Ririna, Elijah and the 2 men who once bullied Ririna used to be 1 group. They still didn't dare look at me until I greeted them.

I approached towards them "Ohh it turns out you guys are ya ?!"

They were a little surprised, then in a trembling voice they looked at me "i_this is not my fault, it was the professor who chose me as part of this group !" answer it with a bit of a fuss.

"Yes I don't think about you intentionally or not either, but as long as you're part of this group, you'll have to follow all my instructions !"

"Ah, of course "answer them in relief.

Seeing this, Elijah wondered why the two men were afraid of me.

"Hey kenpa y'all are complimenting her without asking my opinion ?!" elijah asked annoyed.

"Then do you want to be the leader of this group ?!" ask Ririna.

Elijah did not comment on Ririna's words and continued to speak to the two men "You two are sure to let her lead this group ?!" elijah asked the two men with some annoyance.

"What's your problem, we don't mind the idea at all, if you mind don't take us with your problem !!" they turned back angry at Elijah.

Elijah's countenance grew irritated, but he could only frown and averted his gaze "Cihhh..!!."

Since no one protested anymore, we prepared to leave. But before that, we have to wait for the arrival of the senior who will be our examination supervisor.

"All right, sorry I'm late" said a man who came towards us.

"Haaah, you have never changed before, always come late ?! Long time no see" replied Ririna to the senior.

"Hahaha, long time no see Ririna, but here you should not call me senior" Alba said to Ririna "And for you, because we will be together for the next three days, how about we start by introducing each name" said Alba with a carefree face.

"Of course senpai" we said at the same time "I'm Marco, Elijah, Refi, Rui" replied we introduced ourselves to Alba's senior.

Senior Alba turns out to be a childhood friend of Ririna, she is also the one whom her parents betrothed to.

But because Ririna did not like being restrained, her parents gave her choice to Ririna. They looked very close and I felt a bit irritated when they were cool talking all the way in front of me and ignoring me. Because in the past 1 year, I have been really close to Ririna. I saw Elijah was also still upset because I was chosen as the group leader.

We finally arrived at the location. We have 3 days to complete this exam. In the test we were told to collect 6 skins and fangs from blood wolf and 6 bottles of poison from giant spider.

"Well we'll start hunting tomorrow, for the first task the men will gather firewood and make tents ! Then the women will prepare dinner, what do you think ?!" said Alba.

But I interrupted his words "Wait a moment senior, instead of your duty to just supervise and I have the authority to divide the tasks and activities in this group ?!"

"Well, I'm sorry, because I'm in the habit of forgetting such trivial things" she replied with a laugh.

Then I ignored him and looked for firewood myself, I told Refi and Marco to set up a tent.

After it got dark, I came back from the woods. Arriving at the location I only saw Elijah who was cooking the stew, Refi and Marco were sitting waiting for dinner after our 3 tents were finished.

I approached Marco and Refi "Where did Ririna go ?"

"Calm down, I'm just asking ! I won't do anything to you if you don't make trouble, so relax" I tried to keep them both from getting tense.

They gasped and nodded at me "Well" replied Refi and Marco who had reassembled the firewood I had brought.

Elijah didn't care about my question and just ignored me. I'm worried about going looking for him.

I finally heard the voices of the two of them from behind the big tree and immediately approached him. But when I got there I was silent because I was so shocked by the scene in front of me. Ririna is kissing senior Alba.

Ririna who was very surprised when she saw my arrival instantly pushed senior Alba away from her.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to say to get you back soon because it's dark. I'm sorry to bother you" I said withholding my emotions and immediately left them both.

"Ru.rui this isn't what you think !" Ririna ran to get to me.

I turned around and looked at Ririna with a flat gaze "Unlike I thought ?! What am I thinking ?! Anyway why should I think about the relationship between you two ?!" Ririna was very surprised to hear my words. "That has absolutely nothing to do with me !!" after saying that I immediately turned around leaving the two of them.

"Tii.no Rui, wait !!" he said he tried to chase me but was stopped by senior Alba.

"Ririna, stop..why do you care so much about him, instead of him being the kid who was said to fail in that magic ?!"

Ririna turned to look at Alba with an extremely annoyed face, she pulled her arm violently until it slipped out of Alba's grasp "Don't touch me !!! Who do you think you are ?! I came here just because you said you needed my help to bring firewood, but instead you dared to act impudent to me, realize your limits !!!" Ririna shouted with a very angry face.

Alba was really very surprised to see Ririna who had never been that angry at her "You're hating me so much ?"

"You prefer him over me ?! the one who was always with you from childhood ?!" Alba was so surprised to see Ririna's change.

"Silence...!!! Because of your insolent deeds now Rui must hate me !" Her tears started to flow.

"You're why Ririna, you've changed because of that dregs boy, he's just a failed noble, what an advantage he has over dir.."

"Shut your mouth" Ririna immediately interrupted Alba's words.

"Don't make me hate you more !" Said Ririna with an angry look to Alba.

Then he moved away from Alba and approached a dirty puddle nearby. Ririna immediately took the mud from the puddle with her hand and rubbed it into her mouth until her lips were injured.

"You fool what are you doing, are you crazy ?!" alba said he tried to stop him.

"Don't try to touch me, leave me alone !" Ririna.

"I'm really confused by your current attitude, then excuse me, sorry to upset you " said Alba who passed away from that place.

After a while Ririna returned to the tent while we were eating together. He stared at me but I immediately took my eyes off him.

Elijah, who noticed it became curious, but was reluctant to ask us and ended up ignoring it.

Ririna looks a bit sad. I also did not expect to feel hurt seeing the incident, I wondered to myself if I really liked Ririna.

I also saw the wound on her lips but I was reluctant to ask further. My worry was defeated by the pain in my heart. Anyway, I think that there are people who have more right to pay attention to it than I do.

Considering Alba Senpai who knows her better and fits her better, I thought about throwing away my feelings and returning to being a good friend as usual with Ririna.
