Beast Monster System

"Uh, Captain, I just got a new quest a minute ago, can you give me at least eight minutes to finish the quest? I just don't want to lose my Health Points, then we can leave after I finish the quest," Jade said to Jake, all of them would indeed lose their respective HP if they weren't immediately finished the quests they got, normally, they would lose 2 HP per hour if that happens.

"No, we'll still leave now, you can still do the quest without us, it has nothing to do with us, you can catch us up later," Blake responded to Jade very quickly, while Jake was just about to open his mouth and then Blake talked.

After getting a response from Blake, Jade could only gaze sharply at him, she managed to hold back her anger even though it was very hard for her.

"Well, if we actually can wait for eight minutes, I don't mind," Jake replied to Jade moments after Blake did it, and as always, he was so nice, and so were his words.

"No, we can't," Blake said immediately after Jake replied to Jade. "Why don't you understand?! This is so important, we have to leave now!" he continued, he talked to Jake.

"I appreciate your opinion, but I have to ask Curt and Rosemarie as well since their opinions also matter," Jake told Blake nicely and full of positiveness, he then turned his gaze towards Curt and Rosemarie.

"What do you guys think? Can we stay here for eight minutes more?" Jake continued, he asked both Curt and Rosemarie.

"Well … actually … yeah, since I need a little rest too, staying for another eight minutes is not a big deal, Captain," Curt answered Jake a moment later, he occasionally looked at Blake fearfully, although in the end, he had no fear anymore to give his answer because he also wanted to take a little rest.

"Got it. Rosemarie?" Jake then asked Rosemarie for the second time, he also focused his look on the girl just shortly after.

"A-ah … y-yes, Captain … I-I do agree w-with Curt …" Rosemarie responded to Jake afterwards, fearfully just like Curt, but she didn't dare to look at Blake, not even once, and instead, she looked in a random direction.

"Alright, this is the closure, we will stay here for another eight minutes and waiting for Jade to finish the quest her system gave her, until then, you can do whatever you want to do," Jake said after he got the answer from Rosemarie, neither Curt nor Rosemarie had the same opinion as Blake's, which means it was totally fine if Jake took this decision, though Jake still aware that the thing Blake wanted they to see is still a big thing.

"You-"

"Oh my God, you're bleeding!" Aksel exclaimed at Rosemarie kind of hysterically due to his panic and worry about the girl being wounded and bled on the palm of her left hand, Aksel held and raised her left hand afterwards. He also unintentionally interrupted Blake who was just about to say something about Jake's decision, Blake himself was being silent just immediately after.

"Ah-hahaha, this is fine, just a little wound," Rosemarie chuckled a little, she tried to make everyone sure that she was okay.

"No, it's totally not. Chandler, which medicinal plant can be used to Rosemarie's wound?" Aksel said worriedly while turning his head towards Chandler.

"Wait for a second," Chandler replied very quickly, he also looked worried about Rosemarie because her wound was actually quite big and deep unlike what she said about it. The boy was also immediately searching for the right and perfect medicinal plant for her wound.

Seeing this, Shawn without any particular reason then turned his head towards Cole who had just got up and walked over to them. Cole was looking at Shawn the moment after the boy looked at him, but that lasted very short because Shawn stopped looking at Cole just shortly after.

'Hmmm,' Curt thought with suspicion as he saw Shawn turned his head towards Cole, he was also almost fully closed both of his eyes due to his expression of his suspicion.

'Bruh, another better drama than mine,' he continued.

"Okay, what are you waiting for?" Jake asked Jade and turned his head towards her a moment later. "We're gonna wait for you while Chandler treats Rosemarie's wound, Blake and Curt will also take a rest, you only have eight minutes," he continued, still talking to Jade.

"Yes, Captain!" Jade replied very quickly as she turned her head towards Jake as well after she looked at Rosemarie, Chandler, and Aksel previously.

Jade then stared at Blake who accidentally stared at her too at the same time as her as she doing it, he looked so annoyed because of Jake's decision, his face painted his feelings so well and this made Jade so happy, she showed a smirk at him, and even worse, gave a middle finger to him, before she finally left.

Blake didn't give any specific response towards it, he was still with the same expression and the same feeling. Jake was aware of the situation between these two, and he could only shake his head for 2 seconds.

"How could you get such a wound? What happened?" Chandler asked Rosemarie as he started to treat her wound, they had also sat down to make the process easier, and the others were just watching them.

"Uh … I-I got this wound when I tried to down the tree I-I was climbing over to, I wasn't being too careful that I fell off … I … I was trying to hold the trunk then I got this wound instead, b-but luckily … Blake managed to save me," Rosemarie explained it all immediately after.

"Aaah," she continued very softly.

"I-I'm sorry if this hurts, please take the pain, but don't hesitate to tell me if you can't take it, we'll take a little break if you can't take it," Chandler said to Rosemarie worriedly afterwards.

"Ah-hahaha, no, no, i-it's okay, I'm fine," Rosemarie responded to him very quickly, she felt bad for making Chandler worry about her somehow.

"Why did you climb over a tree? What was the purpose?" Cheryl then asked Rosemarie in confusion.

"It was Blake's idea," Curt gave an answer to Rosemarie enthusiastically just shortly after. Everyone immediately turned their heads towards Blake after they heard what Curt had just said.

"It was for their safety while I am checking out those particular spots, but to be honest, I didn't like that idea because Rosemarie was struggling when she climbed over to the tree, but on the other hand, not gonna lie, Blake is very talented at climbing over a tree though, he's a tree dude indeed," Curt continued.

"Why didn't you look for another safe place other than a tree, Blake?" Cole asked Blake afterwards, he also looked worried about Rosemarie, obviously.

"T-there was no other safe place, I'm okay, everyone, I-I'm totally fine, Blake didn't make any mistake," Rosemarie spoke as she realized that Blake was in a bad spot.

"But at least he should've cared about you and your wound since he also knew that it wasn't just a little wound, he saw and heard about these medicinal plants, he shouldn't have asked everyone to quickly follow him because your wound should've been treated, he didn't care about your wound at all, it counted as a mistake too, he didn't care about his teammates' safety and lives," Cole replied to Rosemarie immediately after.

"N-no, Cole … h-he does care, I told him and Curt that I-I was fine, and I am, in fact … t-that's why he didn't think about my wound after Aksel and Curt talked about the medicinal plants, p-please … don't blame him," Rosemarie told Cole, she really felt bad that Blake was being blamed because of her wound, while Blake was still being silent, he hadn't said a single word since this drama was created, and he was just watching them with his cold expression all this time, he also folded his hands on his chest.

"I do agree with Rosemarie, saying Blake didn't care about our safety and lives is too much, he did care, and he does, he would've let me died yesterday if he indeed didn't care about us, he even sacrificed himself for the sake of Curt's life and mine, he also saved both Chandler and Jade's lives, if it wasn't because of Blake, four of us would've died, and another one would probably get injured pretty badly now. We can't blame him for the way he acted towards Rosemarie's wound just like what Rosemarie herself has been said, and we can't blame Rosemarie either, we should let this conversation settled down instead and thank Blake," Aksel said to everybody while occasionally looking at Blake who was also looking at him when he talked.

"T-that's right," Rosemarie added more.

All the eyes then immediately turned to Blake just shortly after what Rosemarie had just said, even Chandler was also doing the same with his eyes, even though he had just finished treating Rosemarie's wound, and it made Blake was kinda surprised and confused because he didn't expect this.

"What?" Blake asked awkwardly afterwards to everyone, he was also looking at all of them from one to another very quickly, the change of his expression was also quite clear since it was so sudden that he was being surprised and confused.

"Thank you," Aksel replied to him with a smile immediately after.

After hearing what Aksel had just said, Blake then sighed while turning his face from everyone, his expression was also back to the previous one. "I can't believe I am placed in the same team as some overdramatic people, I hate this," he muttered afterwards, but some of them could still hear it.

"Dude, you said we're overdramatic when you're literally the one who made the best dramas so far without even trying, that is fantastic, you know," Curt responded to Blake just shortly after and made some of them laugh because of that, and Blake wasn't laughing of course.

"Whatever," Blake said afterwards as he stayed away from all of them, but he stopped after he only made 2 steps.

"By the way, I need to talk to you, just the two of us," he continued while looking at Jake, Jake immediately raised his right eyebrows after he heard that as an expression of surprise.

'He really is acting like nothing bad happened between us less than an hour ago, this kid is totally different, sigh,' Jake thought before he decided to follow Blake because the boy wanted to talk to him privately.
