In less than a minute, the river had become filled with campers fighting against each other. Swords clashed and echoed like thunder, and the sound of splashing water was everywhere. Many archers started shooting their arrows, and she saw how some of them, from both teams, were intercepted by the others. At least they didn't have pointed tips; they were more like shallow cuts.

The blue team managed to defend against the strong attacks executed by the red team. She could see Wooyoung from afar, wearing a heavy armor and wielding a sword with ease. He smiled and waved at her, then kicked one of Apollo's children, leaving him on the ground.

Haerin spotted Ryujin and Yeji moving with great agility, making their way through the crowd, but they were easily taken down by the boy HueningKai and... Taehyun.

Well, I didn't remember him.

She stayed away from the riverbank with Danielle. No camper had managed to cross to the other side of the river yet; they were being knocked out easily. Danielle shot an arrow here and there, trying to hit a member of the red team, but they were deflected effortlessly.

It's adorable.

Well, Haerin wasn't doing much at that moment either; she was busy watching everyone fight. It was fun to see the scene from a distance.

Obviously, coward, you enjoy watching others suffer.

Hey, I'm not here to get killed, crushed, or drowned.

Then, what are you here for?

I'm not going to stay sidelined and do nothing.

"Haerin!" Danielle shook her. "You need to stay alert!"

She snapped out of her daydream. Danielle had shaken her so much that she felt like vomiting.

"What? What?" she started to say. "Sorry! Sorry!"

Danielle shook her head repeatedly. "Who gets lost in a situation like this?"

"Uh..." she blushed.

A camper ran up to her, deflecting an arrow aimed at her with a shield.

"Hey! You, newbie! Don't just stand there!"

"Sorry, Heeseung!" Danielle shouted.

"No time for apologies, sis!" the camper replied. "If you're not going to fight head-on, at least move away a bit."

Heeseung charged at two campers, dodging their attacks while giving them time to escape.

Danielle nodded and took Haerin by the arm. "We get it, thanks!"

Danielle pulled her along, getting away from the chaos and heading towards the forest entrance.

"We'll be safe here."
