'What should we do.. Huh..' Calea said to herself, she thought about Zayn's words, it's interesting, what will be the next course of action? They were faced with two option, and it seems like it'll be a gamble.
HNNGGGG!!!!!
The golem made another sound, it's not as loud as the previous one but nevertheless still loud enough to make everyone cover their ears.
"UGHH!!! SCREW ALL OF YOU! FUCKERS!! IM GETTING OUT OF THIS PLACE!" Kalios shouted, he decided to gamble his life away, a bold move indeed. "IF I DON'T TAKE THIS CHANCE NOW, I WOULD STILL BE KILLED! WHAT CHOICE DO I HAVE!? IT'D BE STUPID IF I DON'T TRY.."
With that last declaration, Kalioseth ran away from the field, he dashed through the thick forest.
"H- HEY! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Seir screamed, he was still doubtful with Kalios's decision, his heart is urging him to follow Kalios, but his leg won't move, overtaken by fear and the unknown, Seir wasn't able to obey his heart and he stayed still while shaking uncontrollably.
Kalios wasn't someone who's particularly strong, if he were to be ranked with everyone in Scythe's division, he would be placed at number 6 out of 8 people, but even with that placement, his strength didn't really have that much different with everyone without aura, because after all, they received the same training, the same suffering, in the end they were all the survivor of that hell.
Ignoring Kalios who has now disappeared from everyone's vision, Calea was reminded with the collar's properties.
'Shit! this collar will explode if we went too far with the instructors, doesn't that mean we should chase after them and get close with that giant golem!?' She thought, realizing that if the instructors were to fight that golem and they got thrown far away from them, then the connection that the collar may have with the instructor will be cut off, causing it to be activated and explode right at that moment.
"There's no way i'd die here!" Calea said before dashing into the forest, however her direction was the opposite from Kalios's path.
"Huh!? What the!? where is she going!?" Said Hughen, he was confused as to why Calea suddenly ran away, at first he thought that she might also decided to run away from this place.
"Hold on!? isn't that the direction of where Scythe and the other instructors went off to?" Endi replied, his eyebrows raised and he seems to have realized something.
Meanwhile, Carsel who heard the talk between Hughen and Endi, finally catches on with Calea's intention, he gasped loudly and his pupils shrinked.
"SHIT! SO THAT'S WHAT SHE'S THINKING..." Carsel shouted as he jumped forward, leaving everyone away at the field, he followed Calea's direction cautiously.
"Oh man, if Carsel is also following her– Fuck.. I guess there's no choice.." Said Deon, he took a glance at both Calea' direction and Kalios's direction, hesitating as to which side he should choose, but ultimately, he couldn't take the risk and chose to run towards the Golem.
Everyone else soon followed them, they who can't decide what choice they should make, just went along with the masses, they may be a coward, but they are trying their best to survive.
"Agh!! whatever" Seir said, he ran with his shaking legs, gradually speeding up as his anxiety and thoughts of escaping washed away with each step he took.
***
Deep within the forest, surrounded with trees that comes with many differents shape and roots, Kalios was seen running on the jagged and rough path, the ground was uneven, many tree roots blocked his way, but that doesn't stop him, with the occassional quake that comes from the Golem, Kalios moved past the routes with ease.
"Damnit all!! Damnit! Where the fuck am i?!.. Just where are we, what is this forest.." He said as his mouth gasped for air after running constantly.
Along his way, Kalios saw multiple animals and monsters such as goblins or even orcs, another humanoid monster which is bigger than humans and have disgusting pig head with fat body.
Grr!?..
An orc was just minding its business, he was being accompanied with another orc, they were in the middle of a hunt, at first they heard a loud rustling sound from beside them, and then a wind breeze hit them in the face, they immediately got cautious and prepared for a possible attack, however before they could even react, their head was suddenly gone just like that.
BOOM!
Kalios speeds through the orcs as if they were small fries, he saw them from faraway a few moments ago, and with a quick thinking, he grabbed the two orc's head and ripped them off from their neck with his bare hands. The training from Scythe actually came in handy for him, his brute strength has grown beyond of what he could expect, when he was still at the field, he couldn't test his newfound power because everyone around him has the same strength or even greater, so when he finally tested it with normal monster, he felt ecstatic, his heart was beating, and a smile formed on his face.
'What power!! This is!? My strength!?' He said to himself. 'Huh?...'
After Kalios ran a few more seconds, swiftly makes his way out of all roadblocks infront of him, he comes across something that catches his attention, it was a cloaked men, 3 of them exactly. They were standing still as if monitoring something or keeping a guard for any incoming intruder.
'Are they– Those instructors bastard's subordinate?' Kalios thought, feeling familiar with their attire.
The three of those cloaked men was facing infront, Kalios could sneak up behind them if he wanted, but since there's so many dried leaves on the ground, and the fact that they were the instructor's men, means that these cloaked men could possess a significant strength, they may have the same power as Kalios.
'Should i go the other way around?..' He thought, carefully hiding himself behind a tree and taking a few peeks at the cloaked men. 'They're all carrying a sword.. One of them has two daggers.. What should i do now..'
Kalios thinks for a while, and as he was searching for an answer, he looked down and saw his collar, there was no sign of it activating.
'Heh..' He chuckled, 'I knew that bastard was lying, now.. If i can get past them..'
Fsshhh...
"Huh?.."
