Julio looked back to see that there were students both above the trees, like him, and on the ground, traversing through the terrain with minor difficulty. They would be better off choosing the Savannah if they were going at it like that. Knowing that his headstart bonus was over, he began quickening his pace, using his heritage to his advantage. He expertly and nimbly leaped from one branch to another until he heard the familiar sound of a shot being fired. Just like that, a lot of the branches had been torn off its tree. The one he had just leaped from being one of them. He quickly hung onto one of the other branches, looking back to see many students falling.

And so started the war. Students fighting left and right. There was no time to lose in this, he wanted to say, but he would have no choice but to fight anyway. But he kept on going, faster than before. He needed to put in some distance. But he made one big leap, from one branch to another, and then aimed down at the students below. The barrel of the rifle was aimed straight at the gray haired boy who had started this. There were a lot of students around but he was a clear target. The dust compartment rotated so fire dust would be chosen. Firing two shots, they would explode near or on the male student.

He landed on the branch and, not looking at the result, he rushed forward once more. He was aware that many students were recovering, and were after him. He had to be extra careful.
