System vs Rebirth

"Please don't reject us. Going into this valley is better with a group." Samuel strongly insisted with a smile.

"Excuse me?" Anna furrowed her eyebrows, showing her displeased. She had told them that she didn't plan to go with them. Everyone already knew that her character, which was different from what she had shown to Noel the whole time. This was just her past character that she had changed, but since the other party didn't back down, she had to show them.

Samuel flinched and tried to explain. "I don't mean to be rude to you. But the valley is extremely dangerous. We might not be stronger than you, but our group is by no means weak. We can give you some help."

Surprisingly, Kirika stepped up and said with hostility. "As expected from the famous Anna Stargaze. You're as cold as ever. I wonder how much torture Noel has received from you. I'm starting to pity him for getting paired up with you."

Even Anna didn't expect this hostility from Kirika. She had felt Kirika's cold gaze whenever they met in the barrack, but Kirika never did something as if she knew that she wasn't strong enough to challenge her. She seemed to want to defeat her to break the pair, saving Noel. But if she didn't get stronger first to the point where she could defeat her, she wouldn't be able to challenge her again since she only had one chance.

"What right do you have to get involved in my matter?" Anna asked coldly.

Kirika gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Let's stop, shall we?" Misha came between them to stop the arguments. "We're simply thinking that it's safer if we stick together since meeting here must be fate."

"That's right." Samuel nodded in agreement.

"There's no need for it. You should be the one to worry about your safety, not me. I'm not here to carry others through this valley." Anna harrumphed, turning around.

"You…" Kirika gritted her teeth and stepped forward, glaring at her. "Anna Stargaze!"
