Evan was discouraged by what he had seen. Not only had there been another strange change near him that he knew nothing about, but he had also been attacked by a crazy ant. It was really crazy, considering that there couldn't have been an ant around here, much less a fire-breathing one.
"All right, I've got to get my act together. I`ve broken the second "Barrier" and so unknowable shit happened around again. Just like before I don't understand anything, just fine."
Evan sighed and continued: "Well, on the other hand, there's nothing to complain about, I can finally move on. In fact, I feel like I'm getting a little stronger."
No one saw that Evan had broken his second "Barrier", including the teachers. Since Evan had gone to the farthest corner of the grounds, the teachers didn't watch him. They assud he had decided to recover his mana and prepare for the final battle while the others would dealt with the Ogres.
However, they were wrong about sothing, Evan wasn't going to sit there and wait for it to be over. After Evan broke through the second barrier, he began to "Create" until he had accumulated enough mana for several spells. Satisfied with the result Evan headed back to the center of the arena, which is where the Ogres were now.
The monsters were getting closer by the second, and because of Evan's actions, the other students had little room to maneuver. A little longer and the participants would either have to attack the Ogres themselves, or the monsters would throw them into the water.
By this point, there were only nine of the fourteen students left. On the one hand, it was a good result, since only five had dropped out, but on the other hand, they hadn't even made it to the finals yet.
Whoosh.
Evan was quickly jumping from root to root, he thought the battle against the Ogres was about to happen and he was going to take part in it. Evan was well aware that he could not handle them alone. Only together, they could defeat them, but Evan was not going to unite with anyone.
Gerda was his only, albeit temporary ally. In his opinion, it was too risky to form teams with anyone right now.
Whoosh.
Evan jumped to the outermost root and stopped in front of a small chasm that he had created by himself. He looked at the students on the other side and muttered quietly:
"Looks like I'm the only loner."
All the other participants had joined into teams. Two teams consisted of two people while there was one team of as many as three. Still, except for Evan, there was another loner -Enni, who was standing alone at the root.
