"I had caught word that wind wolves were coming in our direction and I had gone in hopes of stopping them. Whilst I was gone I left Tina in charge of the other students so that they could stay together and be kept safe. I was still looking for the wind wolves when a group if the students approached me and told me that Tina had been captured by a group of goblins. by the time that I got to her they had already raped her brutally." Ms. Mary explained to the two men.
The men were silent as they listened toi her. They could only imagine what Tina had been through at the hands of the low-level goblins. They were known for being ruthless and were sex crazed.
"So what do we do now. She is in no shape to continue with this program." Ken said to Ms. Mary.
Ms. Mary knew that he was right but she was also slightly disappointed in the fact that Tina wouldn't be getting to finish with the rest of the students.
"That is a shame. She was one of our best. This means that she won't be getting to graduate with the others." Ms. Mary said.
"Well it isn't as though we have much choice. She can't go on like this. But at least this shouldn't affect her records. She can simply try again the next time." The other teacher said.
The three of them seemed to agree on this arrangement. Her performance in this course would not affect her permanent records but she wouldn't be able to continue for now.
Instead she would come back next year in. order for her to compete with a new set of students.
The teachers made their way back to the students who were sitting around casually but they raised their heads up towards the teachers when they heard the sound of them approaching.
"the three of us have had a discussion and we think that it is best to withdraw Tina from this year's program. She can taker the course next time with a new set of students." Ms. Mary said.
The students gasped at this revelation but some of them were relieved that they wouldn't have ot deal with Tina for the reminder of the course.
Tina on the other hand let out a low squeaking sound form the back of her throat in protest. They turned towards her and watched as she sat up in her spot abruptly.
"No. I am not going to withdraw myself." She said to them and they watched as she staggered to her feet.
Her knees were wobbly as she stood up slowly. She managed to plaster a small smile on her face as she leaned against the tree. To keep herself from falling down.
"you see I am perfectly fine. I can do this." She said as she tried to make her voice sound sterong.
"But Tina look at yourself you can barely stand." Ken said to her as she looked down at her shaky feet. She cleared her throat shaking her head as she hardened her gaze.
She took a few steps forward limping slightly wityh her movements.
"I am perfectly fine mentally and physically. I am not going to risk graduating because of this." She said to them.
The three teachers looked between each other as they were shocked by her revelation. They weren't entirely sure what to say.
"Tina you don't have to pretend that you are okay. You can leave now and you will still be able to graduate. You will just have to take the course next year. Its that simple." Ms. Mary said to her.
Ms. Mary had witness what Tina had gone through firsthand and she knew that it had affected her greatly.
She knew that Tina was simply pretending that she was okay but she was almost certain thar she was far from okay on the inside.
"Like I said I am fine." Tina said in a hissing tone.
"I strongly suggest that you quirt the internship for a while and you go home and get some rest. you can return when you are in a better state and you are at your full strength. The internships much more strenuous than you think and it will break you. This is your last chance to back out before it is too late and the next time that you decide to quit it goes on your record that you failed this course." Ms. Mary warned her.
Ken watched the reaction between the two and watched the way that Tina continued to refuse Ms. Mary blatantly. He knew that the two of them were not going to get far whilst they continued to butt heads with one another.
"Let me talk to her first." Ken suggested as he watched as Ms. Mary looked towards tins as though as king her if it was okay with her.
Tina looked over at Ken and she knew that she could trust him. She nodded her head at him slowly before she allowed him to lead her towards one of the trees that was at the corner of the clearing.
"Now tell me what is really going on with you. I know that you aren't okay so stop pretending. Ms. Mary is only trying to do what is best for you. But I know how stubborn you are and you don't admit that so how about you tell me how you really feel. you know that you can trust me and I wouldn't let anything happen to you." He said to her.
He knew that be had to find a way for him to get to her because of how stubborn she was.
There had to be another reason as top why she wanted to stay and not just because of the fact that it would mean that she wouldn't graduate this year.
He knew that that wasn't that big of an issue for her and so he wanted to know the truth about what it was that realty was bothering her.
"So hoe about you tell me the real reason why you don't want to leave. Tell me why you are so adamant about staying and I know it isn't about graduating." he watched as she gritted her teeth before sending him a sharp glare.
"The reason hart I need to stay is so that I can show these losers that I am still as strong as ever. It seems I was too lenient on them before. I will make sure that I kill that bitch Gloria for what she did to me. If it wasn't for her then those goblins wouldn't have raped mean the rest of the class would have come and saved me in time. I know this is some sick joke to her well she has no idea what is coming to her and I am about to show her that she has messed with the wrong person." Tina said in a silent vow.
Ken was slightly taken aback by her words and he knew that he shouldn't have been shocked by the fact that that was her reason for not wanting to leave.
