IN A BIT
ISABELLA'S POINT OF VIEW:
The next day arrived with a new system alert that dinged like a smug bell.
"Fifth task: The Herbal trials. Objective: Collect and correctly identify ten rare herbs hidden across the Forest of torth. Time Limit: 2 hours. Team Leader Selection: Automatic. Team Leader: Vanessa Lareth. Success rewards: Relationship boost, system favor, and alchemy privileges unlocked." System said.
"Wait." Damien blinked. "Vanessa's the team leader?"
'She's not even-" Rosalie started, then paused as all heads turned to look at her. "Uh, a trained herbalist. Probably."
Vanessa rolled her sleeves up, tied her hair, and flashed a smile.
"Guess we'll find out, won't we?"Vanessa said.
Michael smirked beside me, arms crossed.
"She's gonna ace it. You can already tell."Michael said.
