"Heya Albert♡!" Klarice said. Albert was already annoyed, and she didn't even try anything. Albert doesn't even care at this point, he just has to ignore her. He just decided to introduce himself to Sarabeth.
"Hello Sarabeth-San, I am Albert Luddovan-" Before Albert could finish, Sarabeth slapped him in the face.
"Ok cool so you are Lucine's fiancee, nice to meet you. Let's just get this field lesson over with." Sarabeth replied, she sounded disinterested. Albert was glad she clearly felt the same way, doesn't care, wants to kill a goblin.
Albert and the 2 girls walked and strolled through the forest, Klarice kept smacking her lips.
"Bored! Bored! Lets kill a goblin so we can fuck already." Klarice exclaimed. Albert and Sarabeth simultaneously groaned.
"I'm not going to procreate. You are going to be quiet." Albert said through gritted teeth, Klarice just smirked and leaned forward.
"Wow, guess you want to stay a virgin boy forever, huh?" Klarice smugly said. Albert was about to reply, but Sarabeth simultaneously shushed and kicked them
"Be quiet! I hear something you idiots." Sarabeth said, Albert listened for sounds, and he heard a rustling deep in the bushes. The 3 of them cautiously approached it, and a small, child-sized green creature jumped out, wearing a towel and carrying a small club. It was a goblin.
"Stand aside you 2 incompetent bitches. Let's just get this over with." Sarabeth sighed before jumping forward with a broadsword in hand, her red uniform glowing softly, as she sliced the Goblin's head clean off.
"Ok we're done. Let's go ba-" Sarabeth was interrupted as a large thudding sound was heard. Albert saw a large reptilian creature behind her, he didn't recognize it. It didn't appear in the game.
"What is that thing!?" He yelled, and Klarice answered.
"That is a Toxodile. It's a large crocodile thing with poisonous bubbles on its back. When these bubbles burst, corrosive acid that can eat through steel with enough time rains down." Klarice exclaimed, her voice filled with seriousness. Albert rolled his eyes, it's about time she made herself useful.
"Oh God, I can't kill that!" Sarabeth said as she dropped her sword in fear. The Toxodile snorted as it opened its mouth and prepared to strike. If even the abrasive Sarabeth Rokton could be frozen in fear, she might die. Albert readied Nihil and created afterimages.
"Earthslash!" He declared, and he and his afterimages created a wave of earth from his axe that knocked the Toxodile away from Sarabeth, it then ran away.
"That's right coward! Now that that's done, let's have sex?♡" Klarice said with a wink.
"NO!" Albert yelled. He walked over to Sarabeth and helped her up. She was slightly blushing.
"How could something that strong exist in this forest? It doesn't make sense, God you saved my life." Saraberh explained, shaking from the whole ordeal, clinging to Albert's shoulder.
"Please don't do that Sarabeth-San, especially if we are in front of Lucine." He exclaimed, but he didn't push her off. Klarice's face turned pouty.
Albert carried the still shaking Sarabeth as Klarice followed behind, carrying the goblin corpse.
"Why do I have to carry the stinky goblin?!" Klarice yelled.
"Because you still tried to seduced me in the woods. Also I want full credit, do you want full credit, Klarice?" Albert told her. The 3 of them finally walked out of the woods, it appears they are in 3rd place. Steven's group is in first, and Albert doesn't care about second place.
"Hey Albert! Nice to see you- wait, is that one of the four queens of the school on your fucking shoulder?!?!?" Steven yelled, he was angry. Albert clearly decuced that he is jealous. This could also be am opportunity to hook him up with Lilac.
"Well, my fiancee is also one of the queens of the . So it is natural. maybe if you are more open to the class of nobles you can date. You can actually get a woman!" Albert said with confidence as Sarabeth quickly got off his shoulder.
"Oh, can't argue with that logic." Steven said. Albert gave Steven the stink eye as Klarice finally gave the Goblin corpse to the teacher before walking towards Albert, her face shifting from a scowl back to her usual playful smirk.
"So Albert-kun, wanna have some fun?♡" Klarice asked, tapping his shoulder. Steven and Albert turned around with death glares and Klarice immediately scurried off. Sarabeth coughed, clearly faking it.
"I appreciate you scaring away that overgrown lizard Albert, I hope we can acquaint ourselves again in the future, good day." Said Sarabeth as she walked off, her face blushing.
"What a weird girl..." said Albert and Steven simultaneously.

Sarabeth Rokton lying in her bed, her roommate was her fellow 'Queen' Dahlia Vervence, she is one of the most influential students of the academy, daughter of Duke Vervence, descendant of the first hero. Dahlia walked up to her, a cheeky smile on her face.
"So, have ya fallen in love yet?" She asked her, her voice smug.
"No, no I have not!" Said Sarabeth, her face turning beet red.
"That's something a lovestruck girl would say." Dahlia replied.
Sarabeth realized she is in love. There is no going back now, all that there is left to do is act on it.
