Shin could not find Ileana anywhere, but Feldan found a couple more of his classmate, and it appeared that was not all there was someone else who managed to free himself before they did and unlike them, he did not just flee and hide, but put together a team against the slavers.
And that person was none other than Gaivan, the first among the upperclassmen, who lost to Elior pretty badly in the tournament, but that does not mean he was any less amazing. In this short time, not only did he free himself, Gaivan actually managed to put together an elite team of a couple of dozen and not just that, half of the group were not even from Earth.
Currently, they were waiting with the boats they collected for their arrival. Shin's face was full of frustrations. Though he managed to save himself, he failed to do it for Ileana miserably.
"Don't worry about it," Leroy said. "You did what you could."
