The Wandering of Bone Strength
Chapter 5: Training in Other Kingdoms and the departure of Ardi

After a power-raising ceremony, the young heroes are prepared for a more intensive training journey. Hapsah, the royal witch, arranges their journey towards three different kingdoms according to the unique skill of each hero.

Astri, Agung, Desmita, and Nurlia live in the Bugis Kingdom, which is famous for its witchcraft and magical powers. There, they are taught about the magic element and how to master the high level of mana closeness. Great teachers taught them powerful magic spells and how to use magical energy wisely.

In the Kingdom of Toraja, King Edi welcomed Aldi with warmth. Aldi and the heroes who were proficient in melee techniques, such as Cica and Suriansyah, were placed under the tutelage of the Strongest Knight Ninda. Ninda is a legendary knight with matchless fighting abilities, and she happily shares her experience and skills with the young heroes.

Meanwhile, Arjun is taken to the Dwarf Kingdom, where the dwarves of weapons experts live. Under the wise guidance of the Dwarf King, Arjun learned various weapons techniques and honed his skills in creating magical weapons. He also interacts with the dwarves of blacksmiths and blacksmiths, who are famous for their skills in the art of smita.

During their training, the young heroes face various challenges and exams. They must overcome physical and mental obstacles, deepen their understanding of each other's strengths and abilities, as well as learn to work as a solid team.

In addition, they also learn about justice, wisdom, and responsibility as heroes who have extraordinary powers. They realize that power without responsibility and a sincere heart can bring danger to the isekai world.

After several months of intensive training, the young heroes regroup in the Bugis Kingdom to continue their mission. They feel more confident with the new skills and abilities they have acquired.

During training in the Bugis Kingdom, something shocking is revealed about Ardi. As the royal teachers were testing and teaching the strength of the heroes, they noticed the uniqueness of Ardi's power that seemed different from the others.

Hapsah, who was very careful in his magical understanding, observed Ardi closely. After several experiments, he carefully tried to explore the source of Ardi's power. The result was very surprising - Ardi had demon blood in him.

When Hapsah presented his findings to the other heroes, confusion and distrust struck. Ardi couldn't believe what he heard. She feels lonely and alienated from her friends because she feels different and unacceptable.

However, as news of the nature of Ardi's blood spread throughout the kingdom, some people began to doubt his presence. They did not believe that a hero should have demonic blood. Because of this, some people became more skeptical and even tried to distance themselves from Ardi.

In such moments, Aldi, who had always been Ardi's best friend, supported him firmly. "We are true friends, Ardi," Aldi said firmly. "No matter where your blood comes from, you are part of our family, and we will always stand together."

The tension between the heroes reaches its peak when some of them demand that Ardi be expelled from the hero party. They felt that the presence of Ardi who had demonic blood would harm and weaken the group. This decision was very painful for Ardi and made him feel hurt.

"It's unfair" Ardi murmured inwardly, shedding tears. "I also want to be a strong hero and fight with friends."

"I'll go" Ardi said in a low voice. "But I hope that my friends will understand, I will always support your mission and hope that you will succeed."

Before Ardi left, King Baso approached him with a gentle face. "Ardi, never feel inferior about your fishery. I know that you have a kind heart and a strong spirit. Accept this as a sign of my support. Use this gold coin to help you on your way."

With trembling hands, Ardi received the gold coin from King Baso. He felt sorry for the support King Baso had given him and realized that his departure would probably be the greatest test of his life.

As Ardi left the hero party, his mood was mixed. He feels sad about having to part with friends, but is also full of determination to prove his worth as a hero. He decides to go improve his abilities and prove that he is a valuable hero.

The remaining heroes are heartbroken by Ardi's departure, but they also respect his decision. They learn from this experience that friendship is about understanding, appreciating, and supporting one another.
