They were already running.
The ground dipped and rose without warning, roots cutting across their path as the forest thickened around them. Branches snapped underfoot, leaves brushing against armor and skin as the group pushed forward.
Breathing grew heavier as Ronan ran.
Elara hadn't wasted any time, and suggested they immediately go to the statue. They gathered a group of powerful students, not too many, but enough to win a fight, and set off.
Ronan followed without thought, and no one really questioned it.
A statue this early though?
When he read the novel, he only read it through the point of view of class S, and class S hadn't found their first statue until after the first day had ended.
Then again, they were also a scattered mess.
A lot of the class S students wanted to just kick it back and wait until the other classes claimed their statues, and then fight for the spot afterwards.
The logic may have seemed sound, but it wouldn't work like that realistically.
