Dylan, Mark and Gabe were still unconscious on the ground. Sunny and Robert also had long gone to Tolly's side.
It's safe to say the green group was disoriented.
"Let's just make a run for it. We can't get our hands too dirty and I don't think we can knock five of them out." Tolly said.
"You think they won't give chase when we run?" Jeremy asked.
"That's it! I'm calling the teachers." Kelvin yelled and was just about to dial when someone hit the device off his hands.
"Robert why did you do that?" Kelvin yelled in annoyance. "Oh... now I understand. So you were in on the scheme?!"
"No! You don't understand. If... if you call the teachers, we'll be in trouble. We might even get disqualified. I'm....so- sorry." Robert stuttered.
"Your group was the bone of contention! Your group is also the cause of this mess and now you've broken our group device. Now, how are we meant to win?!" Kelvin voiced again in annoyance.
"Are we gonna talk all day?" The bald boy from the blue group said.
"I won't let you ruin the plans!" Jeremy shouted and dashed towards the five boys from the blue group.
'Ah what's wrong with this guy? Does he think he's one super being or what?' James thought.
No one could stop Jeremy as he sprung into action.
Jeremy implanted his fist into the bald boy's stomach then jumped on the next one and sent a devastating kick to his thigh, breaking his bone.
He rushed to the third boy and gave a heavy head bump to the latter's chest. There were now just two boys standing from the blue group.
The fourth one was about to run, but, Jeremy wouldn't allow that. Jeremy quickly pulled the fourth's shirt and dragged him closer. The former jacked his knee into the latter's back and shoved him off.
The fifth boy fell on his knees and begged for mercy after seeing his comrades fall one by one.
However, Jeremy ignored his plea and slapped his cheek so hard that there was a red imprint left.
Of course, all of this happened so fast that it didn't even give any of them the chance to raise their hands.
James and the others who stood aside had their eyes widened.
'I know Jeremy is strong. After all, he's so muscular... but, to be able to deal with five students? I was lucky that day then.' James thought.
"What the f*ck?! Who is this guy?" The bald boy on the floor exclaimed.
None of the blue group members dared to stand up in the presence of Jeremy, even though they weren't knocked out.
"I wonder what's wrong. The red group tracker is down and also the blue group's. I hope it's nothing serious." A voice said in the forest area, where leaves were rustling.
"Isn't that Mr. Dave?" Kelvin whispered.
"We have to run now!" Tolly said before she took to her heels.
Kelvin looked around to see who was still standing. He was shocked to see James had ran into a forest path before anyone.
The five boys from the blue group also got on their feet immediately as they heard the voice and ran into another path, leaving Jeremy and the three boys from the green group on the floor.
'Ah! Fu*k it. Why are things always hard? I better catch up with James.' Jeremy thought before heading into the forest area.
"Oh my... what happened here?! What are these boys doing on the ground?" Stella exclaimed as she entered the rocky area.
"Looks like they fought themselves or something." Dave replied.
"A fight? But they're from the same group correct? Even though they did fight each other, why should the three be knocked out? I think it's the handiwork of another group."
"Well... does that really matter? As long as they're not dead. I mean we're both here now and there's no one to stop or look now." Dave replied as he inched closer to Stella.
"Dave, I don't think we should be doing this. We might get caught again."
Dave ignored what she said and gently grabbed her waist. He pushed himself in and pressed his lips on Stella's lips. Stella was reluctant at first, but she eventually gave in.
Dave continued to kiss her as he massaged her buttocks. After three minutes of kissing and rubbing, he stopped the and gave a quick glance at Stella.
"Give it to me. I wanna feel you." Stella said under her breath.

About three hours ago, Jeremy had caught up with Tolly, Kelvin, Priscilla, Robert and Sunny.
Only these six were walking together on a path in the forest area.
"Don't you think we should head back? We've been walking aimlessly for about three hours now. I'm sure James is with the teachers." Kelvin said as he dragged his feet on the ground. "Heck! I'm wondering why we ran in the first place. We could've sorted everything out at once there and then with the teachers."
"Kelvin's right! You've been telling us to keep walking when we can just use the map to head back to the bus and see the teachers." Tolly voiced furiously.
The truth is Jeremy had them follow him in search of James ever since he caught up with them.
They could have wholly decline, yet, they followed Jeremy. After seeing Jeremy's supernatural feats, not once nor twice, they thought if they were to go against his words, he would deal with them in a snap.
When Tolly lamented, James suddenly stopped in his tracks, shaking like a volcano about to erupt, and turned to look at the others.
"Why?! Why do you humans always mess things up?!" Jeremy shouted with a faint yellow hue in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the deep woods, pass the boundary of the quest space, a handsome teen with brown hair was wandering alone. It was already evening and it looked like the sun will set any moment.
"Why did I even run first? I could have just waited and probably run off with the others." James complained to himself. "Somehow, I think I did the right thing and the wrong thing at the same time. What if the teachers saw me and put all of the blame on me?"
"I guess I haven't been stable ever since that incident in Middleton."
Just as James finished saying that, he sighted fierce, glowing yellow eyes hiding in the bush.
