There was no need to risk fighting a group of strong individuals who didn't bring the epigraph.
"Go to the ravine! We will be the one securing the epigraph!"

The leaders shouted and everyone followed suit.
Having all martial artists' attention away from them, Leo and his group managed to enter the forest without much fight. They stopped and gathered behind the trees' shadow. Coco returned to its usual size and sat on Chiaki's shoulder.
