Riya pursed her lips.
She took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down and looked at Samuel in front of her.
He was also looking in her direction, waiting patiently.
"I…" Riya opened her mouth and then closed it again.
There will be two advancent ceremony they have to experience, one when they advanced to rank 7 and the other one when they advanced to rank 10. Either one of these two was extrely important and any failure or mistake will be related to whether they could possibly reach the peak.
Reaching the peak is everyone's dream.
In that world, they have seen the wonder of those who could stand on the peak and the power that fascinated countless people.
They wanted to get stronger.
When they ca back here, not a single one of them would be willing to lose the chance to reach the peak.
It was also because of this that Riya was working hard.
They all knew that the change in the Green Planet and their sudden 'transmigration' and return was definitely not a coincidence. After Riya received that ssage after her advancent, she understood the truth.
And it was also because of this that she knew that she would be more eager to advance to the peak.
However, this would not be a short journey.
What was needed was not only perseverance but also patience and hard work.
So even if she trusted Samuel, she still didn't let him stay in the core area of her formation when she advanced to rank 7 so ti ago.
"Even if you didn't let enter the core areas, I can see that you still trust ." Samuel stepped forward and stopped half a ter away from Riya. Even at this close distance, there was no vigilance from Riya.
With his physical strength, it would be very easy to subdue the other party in this distance. Because Riya's physical strength was not her strongest point and the improvent brought by her runes was far from making her able to contend with a real magic warriors or even warriors.
But she didn't put on any defense around him.
No matter how much a comrades trust each other, they would never truly leave their backs to the other party when it was not necessary. This just showed that Riya is truly comfortable near Samuel.
This is the reason why Samuel dared to try.
But it didn't an that he was not nervous.
"You're really unfair," Riya muttered helplessly, looking at Samuel in front of her and pursed her lips. "What if I hinder your path to the peak?"
"You won't." Samuel chuckled and then looked at Riya. "It's not like there can only be one person who could reach the peak. It'll be nothing more than a competition on who could reach it first. I believe that you're not the type of person who couldn't handle others being better than you."
Riya rolled her eyes inappropriately and then laughed lightly.
If she was such a petty person, she would never be able to reach rank 7 in the first place. Because they have to co to term with themselves and their ntal state had to be firm or they would never be able to pass through that barrier.
Besides, she knew that they have their own advantage and disadvantage.
There was no point in comparing or being jealous with each other. It is more important to improve themselves.
"If you trust so much, it would be a pity if I don't respond, right?" Riya asked back, a sly look on her face.
"Hmm?"
The next mont, Riya took a step forward, her hands reached upwards and hugged the other party's neck.
Riya saw the shock and the joy that followed after and laughed lightly. She looked at the man's face that was close to her and leaned in, kissing the man's lips and Samuel responded and quickly took charge.
Samuel's swords humd inappropriately at this ti and the two people retreated and looked at the sword.
"Your sword can't be jealous, right?" Riya asked curiously.
"No, it just refuse to be fed dog food because it has seen a lot from my parents in that world," Samuel said helplessly.
Hearing this, Riya laughed out loud.
Poor sword.
Having developed consciousness, it had to face such a thing just because the owner.
Samuel looked helpless but his eyes were gentle when he looked at Riya, completely different from his usual state when facing other people.
The two of them didn't speak about it out loud, but they knew very well that for people like them whose dream was to reach the peak, they have no chance for any second chance or sothing like that.
And this also included their relationship.
When Samuel told Riya that he wanted her to be the one to protect her, it ant that he had decided on her until the very end.
The only person who could enter the core areas in an advancent ceremony could only be their livelong partner whom they could trust with their entire heart. When it was her turn back then, Riya couldn't take that first step.
She trusted him but not until that step.
So Samuel chose to be the one to break this thin layer of paper between them.
To be honest, it was not really necessary to trust until that point because there were many other couples in that world who will not give their entire heart and trust to their partner. It just depends on the two people.
Samuel wanted to.
That's why it started with that request.
"Alright, stop laughing." Samuel patted his sword to let it stop buzzing. It was clearly complaining heavily for Samuel's action of favoring others over it.
"Okay." Riya really stopped laughing, but she was still smiling as she looked at the complaining sword. She looked at Samuel and asked, "When do you plan to go? I still have to scout the terrains and prepare the formation as you requested."
