At this moment, Aliya suddenly heard a series of footsteps behind her. Her expression cooled down as she emotionlessly turned around.
"I was worried about you so I came to find you." It was Renante.
A flicker of suspicion flashed in her eyes. "I'm fine. I just need to get some fresh air."
She recognized Renante as one of the most skilled warriors in their batch. He wasn't as talented as Wolf, but he was more disciplined and hardworking. Just like her, he was also a team leader who commanded twenty warriors.
Seeing her guarded look, Renante took a step back. "Is that so?"
The two became quiet so Renante quickly spoke to remove the awkward atmosphere.
"Don't mind what Wolf said earlier. He might be a Knight, but he is still just a kid."
Aliya stared deeply at him. "Are you that concerned about me?"
Renante found himself flustered for a moment, but he was a steady man so he managed to quickly calm down.
"Of course!"
