After the ring of fire was put out, Abraham silently crept away from the group. Once he reached the shadow of the trees, he circled back and reached the lake a bit behind the group. They were all surrounding the fireboy and they seemed to have forgotten Abraham. [i]Good.[/i] He kneeled, took water in his hand a drank a bit. Then, he took off his glove that stopped anything he touches from being poisoned, and plunged his hand into the water. [i]Now, that will take care of thirsty students in the future![/i] He saw the greenish poison starting to spread throughout the water. In a lake as big as this the poison might not be lethal, but it will be enough to make whoever drinks it sick for a while.

 With that done, Abraham put his glove back on, and started walking in the direction of the finish-line. [i]All of them are fools. They can fight for as long as they like, I'm going to finish this tournament. Without getting killed.[/i] They were still there talking. He crept past them quietly in the cover of the trees. Once he could see them no longer he smiled to himself. [i]It's good being smarter than others.[/i] 

As for allies, he guessed he would have to find better ones.
