Let's be friends again?

(Name) drank another tea made by Jade, while she was getting treated by Carla. Azul was helping gauge some worse wounds and Floyd is watching from behind...

     "Your wounds terrify me," Carla told the Princess. Jade nodded in agreement, "You did it again, (Name)-san."

     "It hurts, be careful," (Name) winched in pain.

In Jamil's situation, he was already patched up because his wounds isn't that bad. Kalim was watching Jamil's, waiting for him to wake up, and currently crying as well...

     Jamil groaned, stretching his arms, "Where am I?" He asked. Opening his eyes, he was met with Kalim and Azul, "Good, that you regained your senses." The octopus stated and gave him tea.

Grim were scolding Pantherlily and Happy for hurting (Name), even tho it's not their fault. Happy was having a bad time because of his fractured back and Lily is having a hard time regaining his buff structure...

     Kalim sobbed and hugged Jamil, "JAMILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!" He loudly sobbed on Jamil's chest. Floyd sighed in irritation, "Somebody gets Sea Otter-chan a bunch of tissues. His face looks disgustin' already."

     Jade chuckled, "I guess the revenge he wants to do to Jamil has vanished now. He truly appreciates Jamil," he commented as he watched the crying dorm leader with his salty assistant.

     Carla threw a pack of tissues to Kalim, "Jamil, I'm so glad you're okay!!!" He continued sobbing and wiped his face, Jamil face-palmed at Kalim's actions. "Sooo glad... I didn't know how miserable you were expressing!!! It's my fault *sniff* I'm so sorry *sniff* I never knew *sniff* how much pain I caused you."

     "Leading for Jamil to betray you," Azul added. Floyd placed his arms under his head, "Who would've guessed Sea Snake-chan is already cursing Sea Otter-chan under his breath for his whole life~."

     "And you guys say I don't care for anyone," Carla huffed. Kalim wiped his nose, but he was still crying because of how he felt bad about Jamil's situation, "Yes, you're kind of a jerk... But I can't erase the fact you helped me my whole life! So, let's just stop and we can stop caring about our social status. I announce that starting from now on, we're rivals that shall compete with no holding back to get to number one! Let's be friends again, Jamil!" He exclaimed.

     "Uh, what?" Jamil's eyebrow twitched because of Kalim's loud voice. "Friends? Don't hold back. I'm not surprised since you're a considerate person, but let me just tell you one thing... NEVER IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE, I'LL AGREE TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU AGAIN!" He yelled at Kalim.

     Kalim was on the verge of crying again because of the yelling he received from Jamil, "YOU DUMB, SLOW, MORON, STUPID, IGNORANT, DENSE, DELICATE, PAMPERED LITTLE RICH BOY! WHO WILL BE FRIENDS WITH YOU VOLUNTARILY BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTITUDE?! THERE'S NOTHING OFFERED TO ME?! NOTHING! AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT—NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!" He continued yelling.

     "How can you say that to me?" Kalim sobbed. Carla touched her forehead, annoyed because of Jamil's pride and Grim laughed in the background, "He must be feelin' better since Kalim's okay, he's not even throwing punches at Jamil!".

     "He truly is something," (Name) commented. Jade wiped her face with a warm cloth, removing some excess blood. Azul laughed at the conversation between Jamil and Kalim, "I don't see anything wrong in that. I like this Jamil more than the calm one."

     Jamil threw Azul a dirty look, "Your laugh makes me wanna puke, you know?" He told the octopus, who seem to be wanting more comments from the real Jamil. "I admire you for avoiding the center of attention. Sadly, you piqued my interest without anything in your name. I reviewed your marks, true you don't have any outstanding marks, but you don't have negative ones either. For physical and Class studies, it's always 5/10, which I'm sure it's intentional. It gave me an idea when the cats and (Name) told me what happened here."

     "You have a point there, Azu l. You always top the class of Potions, but your Broom class is almost at the very bottom," Jade added, which made Azul blush from embarrassment. "My guess was proven right when we're playing Mancala last night. With a perfect ratio of winning and losing, Floyd didn't throw a tantrum." Azul added. "If you won continuously, it'll make the opponent sad. If you kept losing, it'll be obvious. You need to have such skill to balance such things."

     "For real? You can do that~?" Floyd asked, going near Jamil. Jamil is having a hard time pushing the crying Kalim on his chest, making the others amused at the scene. Azul smiled, "You don't see that I'm cautious around you, Jamil. Don't you think? Your abilities sure are astounding at the very least."

     Kalim had sparkles in his eyes, looking at Jamil with awe, "I know right?! Jamil is super cool! He's so special!" He hugged the still-injured Jamil tightly, making him choke. Azul offered a golden contract to Jamil, with a naughty smile, "You can go far if you have contact with me than Kalim. What do you say? Transfer to Octavinelle? I can assure you that you'll have something in your name if you agree as my partner."

     Jamil laughed and threw the contract away from him, "As if. Stop giving some shady announcement, it makes me wanna punch you. I'm perfectly fine without being friends with you!" He yelled at Azul. Jade placed a hand on his mouth, surprised at Jamil's reaction, "That surely is a turn of events... How surprising, surely."

     Azul giggled darkly, "I don't mind, I can just add a new document in my truth collection. I'll call it even for now," he stated and wrote something in his notebook. Floyd peeked, "You mean your secret collection of other people's weaknesses~."

     Jamil huffed, "It's obvious since you streamed it for the whole world to see." He angrily stated. "No one will hold me back starting from now on, not even you Kalim!" He yelled.

     Kalim still has his sparkling eyes, "YES! I WILL NOT LOSE EITHER!"

(Name) smiled as the exceeds hugged her, she was glad that they saved another Overblot student. But she's more glad it didn't happen to her again since she's aware of this Overblot since she was a child. How did she know?

- Later -

Grim sneaked inside the room since the others went to get the other two exceeds in Ramshackle Dorm. It seems he sniffed another black rock that's inside the lounge room of Scarabia...

     Finally discovering the black rock, he immediately ate it with no hesitation, "Ooh~, spicy with sweetness and fluffy flavor. I'm still hungry, I think I gulped that one too fast. I want more black rocks." He told himself, unknown that his eyes flamed for a sec.
