The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 17 A stern warning

I started my morning by going to the creek to wash my face. After that, we prepared a packed breakfast and started our hunt after.

"All right, you all gather together, we'll start the hunt right away"

We immediately set out to venture into the forest, not for some time, we intercepted some goblins and other monsters. Because they had never fought monsters before, they started to panic.

Marco and Refi retreated a few steps "Hiiihhh, monster, how is this senior"

"Relax them just some goblins, I'll lure them in, after they're caught off guard with your magic" I give instructions as captain.

"Ba.baik" they answered simultaneously.

I started to advance with my sword and kept them busy until the rest of my team finished casting spells.

Each magic has a different attack power. Such fire magic is best suited to attack because of its shortness and attack damage but is very weak if used to defend.

the wind magic attack is fast but the damage is moderate but it is suitable to repel incoming attacks or change the enemy's attack path.

water magic has medium and slow attack damage but is suitable for creating magic shields.

earth magic has a strong defense and has strong damage but its speed is the slowest among all the elements.

But the magician who mastered the earth element could be said to be special because it could make a solid wall even at the King level could make a steep cliff.

It all depends on who is wearing it.

"Fire Ball ! The Wind Cutter ! Water Arrow" They started to attack but their attack still missed.

I told them to calm down and focus again on "Focus and repeat" my orders to them.

Senior Alba only paid attention to us because his duty was to watch over. But I could feel the hatred from his eyes. I became a little confused on what basis she hated me "Is it because I interrupted them last night ?!" I really don't understand.

When several attempts finally attack they managed to paralyze the enemy. Ririna was silent and did not attack. His face looked pale and even his breakfast was not he eating properly.

For that reason, I scolded him for not focusing on this test "Hei Ririna !! If you don't intend to take part in this exam, you'd better go home ! Don't you realize that someone could be in danger because of your reckless actions !!" I snapped at Ririna.

Everyone there was shocked, they did not expect that I would scold my own best friend in front of them. I have no tolerance for anyone who does not do his job properly.

Ririna bowed to all of us "Ma.sorry me !" his voice sounded slow.

Then everyone there smiled and Marco said "It's okay anyway they're just goblins" he said casually.

"Well that goblin almost made you pee on your own pants" replied Refi who made everyone laugh.

Then we continued our search and encountered other monsters. But the more they fought the more they got used to fighting monsters. Especially with Ririna who joined the fight, her magic was stronger than everyone there including Alba.

Finally we saw a cave that was likely to be a nest of Giant Spiders. We planned to take a short break to gather our manpower before continuing the hunt.

"Well I'll get some water for a while, you guys get your lunch ready" I said as I went to look for a spring.

After a while, I finally found a spring that seemed safe to drink.

After picking up a few bottles of water, I told the person who followed me from earlier secretly to come out because from the beginning I knew I was being followed.

"Come out and say what you want ?!" I'm a little upset.

"Ahahaha..I got caught yes, sorry if I acted suspiciously but there is something I want to ask you !" said the guy who turned out to be Alba's senior.

"Then ?!" ask again.

"Alright Rui, I won't make any more pleasantries ! what is your relationship with Riria ?!" alba's face suddenly turned serious.

"What do you mean, Ririna and I are just regular friends !" answer's short.

But he was even annoyed "Don't lie to me, I know Ririna thinks of you as more than an ordinary friend !!!" resolute again.

"Then what's the deal with you, who do you think you are ?! You think you have the right to ask about me ?! If you're looking for answers that will satisfy you, I don't have time for that !" reply upset.

"Why do you say so haughty even if you're just a useless child whose magic level is so low, do you think you're on par with Ririna ?!" he said he was getting upset.

I held back my anger, considering that she was the person Ririna cared for "Just get to the point that senior I don't have time to argue with you !!."

I was furious with her words, but since she was Ririna's loved one, I didn't dare to do anything to her.

I also feel that his words are right. Ririna is too good for me and the other students have been away from her since I became friends with her. It made me feel more like I was just being a prankster in his life.

Senior Alba does have the right to ban me close to Ririna because Ririna also seems to love senior Alba very much and they look so suitable.

"If that's all you want to say, go ! anyway I do intend to stay away from him !" I said to Alba.

"Then, thank you for your understanding Rui "he said and left that place leaving me alone.

I don't know why my heart hurts so much. I didn't expect that the day that Ririna would leave me arrived so soon, it made me reflect back on my actions "Why should I be this sad because of women ?! From the beginning I never thought I would have friends at this academy. Then what if Ririna steps away from my life ?! From the beginning I was alone "I said in my heart while pensive to myself.

After I managed to round my throat, I returned to the resting place earlier to continue the hunt.

But when I came back, I saw a debate between my friend and the other group because of the cave.

"Hey this is our hunting territory, we ourselves first found this place !" Marco protest.

But that person who turned out to be Dominas, his girlfriend Elijah instead behaved arrogantly and did not care " Hey shut up you !! Who do you think you are, dare to refute my words ?! Who is the highest nation here !" he said very arrogantly.

Elijah did not dare to return his words, he just kept silent according to the will of the man. I who was in a state of emotion and upset was increasingly angered by the arrogant attitude of this one creature.

I'm closing in on them "Oy... What do you mean ?!" I looked at him with anger.

He turned his head towards me and directly attacked me with his fire magic. But I can avoid it easily.

"Didn't you hear what I said ?! How dare useless trash like you look at me like that ! You don't know yourself !" dominas was upset.

I was already unable to contain my anger and directly darted towards him and took out my magic dagger.

"Burn you bastard" "Fire Arrow" three fire spears quickly shot towards me, yet I dodged it easily and directly kicked him in the face.

Dominas fell to the front of his team-mates.

"Basic doesn't know yourself !!" said all his teammates who attacked me.

But I, who was used to the quick movements of my skills, saw that their magic was really very slow. Especially with novice witches like them arbitrarily directing magic, it was impossible for them to be able to hit me.

They were very surprised to see that I managed to avoid all their magic. Elijah did not expect my martial skills to be so high.

But the enraged Dominas attacked me with a special magic to kill "Dead you stupid boy !!."

"Break Forse nn" An enormous and hot Fire Spear shot towards me.

"Ruiiiii.. nooooo !!!" Elijah cried out in fear seeing the attack lead to me.

But with my wild mana I was not scratched in the slightest by his attack. But I who was still covered in flames made my teammates very panicked.

Elijah was really very panicked "Ba..how is this, anyone please do something !!!" he asked Marco and Refi for help, as did Alba.

Ririna who knew my abilities only fell silent knowing that I was just playing around.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't afford to fight that genius kid ! we're just gonna make him even more angry and make us wretch later !" alba told a lie that deliberately let me get killed.

"Hahahahahah.this is the result if a stupid child like you does not know in.." Dominas was silent to see me walking casually out of the fire.

"Then ?!" my words made him quiet.

Elijah looked startled and stopped panicking "Haaa be grateful" he murmured inwardly and immediately wiped his tears.

"You guys better leave before I actually chop you up !!!" I threatened Dominas by slashing my mana dagger to scratch his face and the stone behind Dominas was instantly crushed when it hit my dagger.

It frightened everyone there, they immediately left with the senior who was watching them. It seemed like the senior did not dare to refute the remark from Dominas.

Elijah was embarrassed to worry about me and turned his face away. Marco and Refi praised my abilities and we finally went on a mission and entered the Cave.
