The Motherload (3) [Bonus]

"Huh?" Fredrick muttered when his gaze met a familiar face, and so did the other one in front of him.

A question struck his mind.

'What is Cabrera doing here?'

But before Fredrick could process the current situation, Cabrera spoke, exclaiming…

"Fredrick? What are you doing over there, no, wait, I thought you were fighting the beast? How did you get here so fast?"

"Hmm…" Fredrick muttered, it seemed none of them had an accurate grasp on the situation.

'Cabrera didn't see me falling into the mountain before the snake came out, and since Ezra personally said only a Master-rank could kill it…he thought I was the one!'

It was a logical hypothesis, but couldn't be concluded upon, after all, they were just assumptions.

This, plus the fact that another Master might be heading into the mountains soon, made Fredrick deem it to be best that they took as much as they could before getting out as soon as possible.
