"Of course I would know people, it's extremely necessary that I do," Aurianna stated with a snort, her arms folded tightly across her chest.
"Yeah I know, but sometimes I wish you'd prioritize me as your friend," Elena chuckled, nudging Aurianna's elbow lightly.
"No way," Aurianna said flatly.
"What?!!" Elena replied, genuinely shocked, her jaw dropping as she pointed at Aurianna as if accusing her of a crime.
"It doesn't work like that," Aurianna added, lifting her chin stubbornly.
"Aww you're such a meanie, Aurianna," Elena pouted, crossing her arms dramatically.
Before Aurianna could answer, Vlad stepped forward, standing before the middle-aged but slightly old-looking teacher. "So, Sir Alfred, where is the Aphrot Ruin at?"
"It's just at the land at the end of the lake," Alfred replied, adjusting his coat. "So we will be taking transportation there. I'm sure by now many other adventurers are also waiting to challenge the Ruin for themselves."
