Doug

Finn just ignores him and continue picking and storing the pebbles and stones into his pocket.

"It is rude of you to ignore me! I'm from a high noble family like Dran. You, a blind boy from a small noble family is very lucky to be asked by me!"

Finn still just ignores him and mind his own business. Never being treated like this, he is starting to get pissed off. He forgot that the person in front of him is the one who had just saved his life.

"Don't think that beating up kids from middle and small noble families makes you tough. Your manual's limit is just up until the half success in Aura. You totally can't compete with me. And that offer just now has just gone down the drain!"

Finn suddenly stands up which startled Doug. He tightens the grip of his sword and is about to swing it forward. But he sees Finn going to another location to pick up pebbles and stones. He is now fuming in rage for being ignored.

"Y-Y-YOU!! Don't act tough just because you could beat a couple of monkeys. You could only survive until now because of Dran. Look at these monkey corpses, it is only because of Dran that you could still be alive."

Little did Doug know that most of these corpses are the result of Finn. Even if he is told that Finn does all this, he probably wouldn't believe it.

After hearing Doug boasting and demeans Finn for a while, Finn speaks out to him.

"I saved you only because I sense you a couple of times near Dran and assume you are his friend. The next time I see you again, I won't help you nor anyone near you. Even if Dran asks me on your behalf, I won't help."

Hearing that, Doug gets even more angry. He has always been treated with respect by his fellow peers and juniors. Hearing this from someone who is supposed to be lower that him really riles him up.

"YOU! I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO SAVE ME! I COULD'VE SAVED MYSELF! DON'T ACT SO FULL OF YOURSELF JUST BECAUSE YOU COULD BEAT SOME MONKEYS! I"LL TELL DRAN THAT HE SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM A PARASITE LIKE YOU!"

With that, he storms off. He no longer want to see Finn in his presence. Sensing him go, Finn just sighs.

'I don't know why these kids act so mighty and think that they are the best. Probably its because they have been treated like kings and queens all their life. I thought that at least he would be okay since he is Dran's friend.'

He thought about ending him right then and there because he clearly will be troublesome in the future. He is the type of person to get jealous of someone's achievement. Especially now that he has targeted Finn as someone lower than him. He refuses to see Finn be above him and would result to drastic measures to get rid of him.

But in the end, he chose just to let him off for a while. He wants to let Dran know what kind of person he has as a friend. This is the type of person that would stab someone on their back. Before they arrive at the city, he would make sure that Doug won't hinder him in the future. And maybe get a high noble manual at that.

While continuing on doing what he is doing, Finn senses about two dozen monkeys coming towards him. He then stands up and move his body into the direction of those monkeys welcoming them with his bloody hands.
