国产嗷嗷叫高潮再用力

He was super exhausted after all these things. But he needed to enter the hall in order to finish \'the test\' he heard from a certain someone.

However, just as he was about to look up, he heard a deep voice calling him out.

"You are here, boy." The voice spoke.

As Emeric looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with a muscular build, completely showing off his upper body. But he ignored it since his attention was drawn to the person beside the man.

"Y-You?! When?" Emeric asked in surprise, while irritation slowly built up inside him.

"Oh, you know Adrian boy?" However, the man oblivious to the atmosphere chimed in. "He came an hour ago. But since you two know each other, it will be good for me, hehe."

Emeric\'s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing Adrian coming an hour ago. He was feeling pretty good for surpassing that lucky bas*ard Aurelius, but now he knew he lost to this scumbag, he lost all the good feelings he had.

"So, boy, tell me your name." The man asked again.

"Umm. I am Emeric. But... who exactly are you anyway?" Emeric asked after sizing up the man. "A Barbarian?"

"..." Adrian looked at Emeric as if he was looking at an idiot which irritated Emeric even more. Adrian had a \'Isn\'t it obvious\' look on his face.

"Haha." The man chuckled at Emeric\'s question before confirming his suspicions.

"You are right, Emeric boy. I am indeed of the Barbarian race," he replied with a hearty laugh, his voice booming in the crisp mountain air. "And as for who I am, well, you can call me Doome. I am the instructor of the Survival Class, responsible for teaching youngsters like you to survive in this world."

"Y-You are the instructor?" Emeric asked surprised. "Ah, sorry."

"Haha, don\'t worry. Anyway, since you passed the test I prepared, you can rest till others arrive. I will leave Adrian boy to accompany you. He will take you to the course room." Instructor Doome said as he motioned to confused Adrian to help Emeric. "I\'m sure since there are two of you, you won\'t be bored now. I will take my leave then."

"W-what?"

"H-Huh? N-no way! Wait!" Before Emeric nor Adrian could protest, old man Doome disappeared from his spot, leaving them, the villain and the extra alone.

"..." (Adrian)

"..." (Emeric)

The two looked at each other, Emeric gritting his teeth in irritation, Adrian cursing his luck inwardly while maintaining a cold and indifferent demeanor.

"Sigh..." Finally, after a few moments, Adrian broke the awkward silence. "Come on, follow me."

"Tsk," Emeric clicked his tongue to show his dissatisfaction but still followed behind Adrian.

He, after all, knew well this instructor\'s personality. Although what he knew was from rumors, he didn\'t decide to gamble. The two then soon entered the hall and headed toward the course room.

Just after they entered the hall, old man Doome appeared in his last position, his eyes fixated on the two back.

"Hehe, the first step to start a comradeship is to break the ice, isn\'t it?" he mused to himself with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "I can\'t wait to see how they will fare together. It will be interesting indeed. Hehe."

With a satisfied smile, Instructor Doome vanished from sight once again.

After half an hour, Aurelius and his group finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

All four of them looked exhausted. Well, they should be since they had to use their physical strength to climb. They weren\'t able to use Aether or their abilities at all as if the mountain had restrictions they didn\'t know.

"F-Finally, we are here..." Aurelius muttered aloud after collapsing to the ground. "I\'m hella exhausted."

"Y-yeah, I am tired as well," Ren said as he took a seat beside him.

"Humm... Hmm..." The two girls didn\'t say anything, only taking deep breaths to collect their breaths.

Just then, Aurelius and Aurelia\'s eyes met. The two remembered what happened at the foot of the mountain and instantly turned away their gazes, their cheeks flushing red.

Thankfully, both Lyra and Ren were too tired to notice their abnormal behavior.

\'... He clearly saw it and even remembers it! Urgh... How embarrassing!\' (Aurelia) \'I can\'t look him in the eyes now!\'

\'Um... She doesn\'t think of me as a pervert, right? I-It was an accident too!\' (Aurelius) \'But... Is pink her favorite color? I thought she liked golden color... Wait!

Why am I thinking about this?!\'

Returning to that awkward moment, when they were at the foot of the mountain, Ren was the first one to start climbing, Lyra following after him.

Aurelia started after Lyra, while Aurelius was the last one.

They did this since they thought there could be danger(beasts) in the mountain as well. So, if a situation were to occur, boys would protect them both from above and below.

Overall, it was a simple but good strategy.

But, since they didn\'t know the tests clearly, they ended up overthinking.

And, not long after they started climbing, the little accident which caused the two to become embarrassed occurred.

With a sudden sweep of the wind, Aurelia\'s dress was lifted by the breeze, revealing her pink... Ehm... Ehm... dress. The unexpected gust caught her off guard, leaving her momentarily exposed and stunned.

To make it worse, Aurelius was looking straight above at that exact moment and happened to get a glimpse of the view.

Fortunately, Aurelia quickly recovered and covered herself.

Aurelius also looked down quickly, realizing his mistake. He never looked up again until they reached the peak of the mountain.

Aurelia also was always on guard, while taking glances below from time to time.

So were the reasons behind their current awkward exchange.
