“What? In a situation like this; how can finishing a mission even be a priority? Survival should come first!” Michael exclaimed, baffled by what the kids were thinking.

But Quinlyn recalled Stanley’s earlier message. He had promised her he would win the championship to prove himself.

‘Is he an idiot?‘ Quinlyn thought to herself.

She pressed her lips together and took the lead, carefully observing the magnetic field changes around them. She noticed that Stanley’s group was moving along the edge of the magnetic field, suggesting they must have some kind of detection equipment.

This discovery relieved the others, feeling a bit more secure knowing there was some brains among them.

But for Quinlyn, worry tightened her expression as she quickened her pace.

Eventually, Michael struggled to keep up with her, and amid his shock, he understood Antonio’s appreciation for talent. A gem like her was definitely worth nurturing.

But just as evening approached, the weather took a turn for the worse. Dark clouds rolled in, and the jungle became pitch black. No matter how skilled they were at outdoor survival, it was tough going in this unfamiliar forest.

Michael suggested they slow down; he was already drenched in sweat. After running in the humid air for nearly two hours, Quinlyn’s small face was beginning to glisten with moisture too.

However, Quinlyn shook her head, saying, “We can’t slow down. The weather changes are caused by the magnetic field. Thunderstorms are coming soon. Without an anti–magnetic device, it’s going to be dangerous.”

She pulled out the anti–magnetic device, and the indicator light flickered faintly. The group’s hearts sank.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, Quinlyn wrapped a simple LED light strip around her waist. With a flick of a switch, her entire figure lit up in vibrant, rainbow colors–both comical and adorable. She had made it from leftover materials.

“I’ll lead the way; just follow me,” Quinlyn declared.

Some protested that it was too dark and wondered how fast she could really go. But just as the words left their lips, she had
