M&M's
Days flew like breeze, soon it was time to conclude the training camp.
Rin couldn't still believe that she had made it up to the completion of the Legendary Hades Camp training.
On the day she resumed the training she was prepared to face everything.
She had thought she would be bombarded with questions when she returned for the training.
But to her astonishment, it was as if nobody was bothered by it.
Ryan explained how only a few people had witnessed it, as the rest was already tensed regarding their own participation.
People did not consider it a big deal because it was normal for incidents like this to happen.
The rest dismissed it thinking it of an ordinary occurrence.
Rin was quite glad that everyone had overlooked this matter she didn't want to be under scrutiny or be labeled as weird.
Ever since the incident, Ryan had turned into a Mother hen watching over her as if she was a chick.
Rin felt that the incident had most probably traumatized him.
The seniors along with the instructors tightened their watch over students to prevent similar accidents from occurring.
The incident in the glass room broke the shackles over Rin's body and mind.
Facing unforeseen obstacles and fears became much easier for her.
It had finally broken the last traces of vulnerability and uncertainty that plagued her.
Rin made her way through the rest of the camp training with an enlightened outlook.
She didn't hold back herself as she gave her best at everything.
Everyone was thoroughly impressed by her development throughout the whole journey. She had made the most noticeable progress throughout the training.
And finally, today was the closing ceremony of the camp.
A group of freshmen in their training uniform sat straight in the front while the rest sat down on the ground behind them.
The ones sitting proudly at the front were the freshmen who had completed the Hades training camp.
Pride and joy were revealed on their faces.
Only they knew the amount of suffering and struggle they went through.
The beaming smiles on their faces were so bright that the audience felt blinded by it.
They felt annoyed by the display of happiness, but they couldn't help but feel a surge of pride when they recalled how they braved until the end.
Completing the Original Hades Camp course had already made the path for their future.
They were already half-LEGENDS.
Many were jealous of them, but they had to accept the fact that they did not possess their courage and will.
"Rin!!! Ryan!!! look here!!!. Let me click some pics." an excited Maya beamed while clicking away pictures in her camera like no tomorrow.
Rin and Ryan's attention along with the others shifted to the girl who chattered excitedly to the people around while wildly waving her hands and pointing at them.
Rin understood that Maya was boasting about the fact that both her roommate and friend were now part of the Hades Camp.
"I guess this is the 85th time!." groaned Ryan while covering his face embarrassed.
At this moment, students started to gradually look in their direction. Rin was worried that if this continued, she would lose face in front of everyone. In the end, she could only stare bitterly and turn away masking her smile.
"Rin!"
Hearing her name being called, Rin turned around to see who had called out to her and found her gaze meeting Asher.
But it was not him who called her name because she could recognize his voice from miles away. It was clearly Tristan standing beside him who called her.
He was wearing an ordinary T-shirt, his short black hair was slightly messed up from his run. There was a healthy spark in his eyes, his elegant features on his face highlighting how handsome he was. Adding on a pair of lean, long legs, his entire person easily attracted the attention of people around him.
Rin's heart had calmed a lot since the last time she had laid eyes on him, and she gave him a small smile.
Seeing her figure once again, Asher was a little startled. It has been twenty days since they had met, and she appeared to have grown a bit sharper. She was dressed in a baggy uniform and was still as thin as ever. Her porcelain white skin resembled white jade, her hazel eyes were as clear as water and captivating, you couldn't look away from her beauty
He had heard how she had passed all the obstacles with a stellar performance. He felt that it was a shame that he couldn't witness it personally.
"Congratulations!!! you have successfully completed the Hades training and officially verified as a member of Hades Camp." Tristan reported imitating a bot.
Rin was amused and laughed out loud, "Thank You!!!!"
They chatted for a bit before leaving to prepare for the ceremony.
Ryan who was sitting beside Rin couldn't stop trembling from excitement.
Rin noticing his actions tossed a pack of mini M&M's to him.
"Thank you," Ryan replied gratefully.
"How the hell do you manage to whisk out goodies out of nowhere? Do your pockets have unlimited space or something???"
Ryan finally asked the question that had been bugging him for a long time
Rin propped her chin on her hand, Her pupils were glistening with mischief.
"Do you really want to know?" Rin probed him to which he nodded excitedly.
"Its.......A SECRET!" she whispered.
When Ryan heard that, he looked deeply at her before rolling his eyes exaggeratingly.
The past 2 weeks had strengthened the bond between them to an extent where they were ready to kill for each other.
Ryan considered Rin as the younger sibling he wanted but never got.
He desperately wished he could swap Logan for her. Seemingly silent, there laid a bright, sunny and cheerful girl behind that shy exterior.
He finally understood why his mom desperately wished for a girl child. She was so Adorable!!! And she would always whisk out snacks like it if she had magic to make them appear out of air.
Food sharing played a greater part in increasing the affection he had for her.
As Ryan's thoughts ran amok, the senior rep arrived on the stage indicating the start of the ceremony.
The duo glanced at each other grinning, while the same thought ran in their minds.
'It was the beginning of a long night!!!!!"
