You Again, Mate?!

Anxiousness

The boss was then defeated and their reward was extremely bountiful, feeling happy and rejoiced they all forgotten about the fact that the entire server rang with notification stating that their team had slaughtered the evolved boss.

People then started to look into the boss and many already started planning on how to trigger this boss and to check out and discover the boss's characteristics since they knew that they could not go anywhere near Rustic and his team.

Although they are near them, they would always feel invincible although standing right next to Rustic and his team as they don't glance at others and would just notice people they already know unless the new person somehow intrigued them like how Cream managed to invade into their team.

As well as succeeded in joining their fixed team not too long after being personally invited in by Rustic and not by suggestions from one of the team mates which was very weird yet what made all of them even more surprised was the fact that the person their boss invited was a female!

Although they did not know whether Cream was a true female or a male behind the screen but they were all still very much surprised since their boss had never said any girl's name before more less talk to them!

Well other than that very selective few in real life, other than that he can't be bothered treating them all like any speck of dust floating around that human eyes could not see.

The moment they have the boss slaughtered, Cream swiftly said goodbye and logged off before receiving a reply making all of them feel puzzled as Cream had never done this before.

Rustic did not feel too good after such scene and he too logged off soon after she did and he could not help but feel anxious. He felt puzzled as to why he is feeling so but he knew that his instinct had never wronged him yet he had never felt anxious in no matter what situation before.

Other than that one incident from when he was young towards Summer, that was his first and his last time feeling anxious to the extend that this feeling was rather alien to him. Yet he just could not pin point why he is feeling so.

Trying hard to push such emotions aside and fall to sleep, he looked out at his window before having his eyes closed he lightly said "continue".

His confidant after hearing so were shocked that the fact that it has been awhile since he had done such expedition but soon nodded and disappears into the dark. His confidant could not help but lament at how frail his master's mind when it comes to her.

Right after Summer logged off, she was gasping for air. She knew that using too much of her brain power would be taxing on her body but at times she could not help but do so to not further burden Rustic.

She thought that it would be alright for her to exert just a little more since she had been doing rather good in her hacking but seems like she was wrong and miscalculated her health.

Summer was sweating profusely and she somehow managed to get herself onto her bed with one hand holding onto her chest while she inhales and exhales heavily.

She mustered the very last energy that she could gather and she mind linked Winter and said "help", with that she passed out.
