Eventually , Declan also got hit Stay sharp , Nicolas Declan said before leaving .

Theres someone out here w whos different way -way more skilled than the rest Got it .

Nicolas replied , giving Declans shoulder a firm pot .

Go get some rest Declan nodded and headed off Now , only Nicolas and Noelle remained on their team , facing off against two other teams with a total of five players left .

Alright .

Nicolas said , gently tapping the back of Noelles head .

Since Noelles takedown of the champion team , Nicolas had asked her to hold back to avoid drawing too much attention .

Noelle glanced into the shadowy depths of the forest , her expression lighting up with curiosity .

Nick , theres someone here whos really good .

Her tone turned serious .

Judging by his movements and style .
