A couple of days passed, and the petty second-year guys decided to handle only their share of the corpses, leaving the rest for the girls to take care of.
Things between them had been noticeably strained since that evening, though no one addressed it directly.
It simply showed in the way they spoke and interacted with one another. Still, nothing too serious came of it, and the group continued travelling south, using their own maps to navigate, much like everyone else with half a brain.
One of the guys had a useful appraisal skill, which they used to scout out monsters before engaging any.
They encountered plenty of monsters they couldn't even consider fighting, fleeing from those without a second thought while engaging the ones they could handle.
