As the meeting concluded, the selected students were separated from the rest. They were given some basic instructions on how to avoid detection and what to look for.
Most of the students looked dejected and terrified. Their faces were pale with the realization of the danger they were in.
Elias, on the other hand, acted appropriately scared, but inside, he was already formulating his next steps.
He needed to make sure he was "caught" in a way that would allow him to reveal his flames without raising too much suspicion. It needed to be a perfectly natural and unavoidable situation.
Later that evening, under the cover of darkness, the infiltration group set out. Each of them was escorted by a ranker of the Creator Faction, as far as possible without being detected.
Elias was given the north point for information.
