As he was nearing the camp, he unexpectedly stumbled upon three of their classmates: Whitney, Rex, and another one of their classmate. They were gathered near a clearing, discussing something in hushed tones. The sight of them brought a slight smirk to Ezekiel's face. This could be an opportunity to strengthen their group, even though the exam was still individually scored.
"Hey, you three!" Ezekiel called out, waving as he approached. "What a coincidence running into you guys out here."
The trio turned to face him, their expressions a mix of surprise and curiosity. "Ezekiel?" Whitney asked, stepping forward. "What are you doing out here?"
"Just finishing up my shift," Ezekiel replied casually. "I've been out hunting and scouting. Found a few interesting spots, but I figured it'd be smarter to work together. How about you three join up with me and my team? It's safer in numbers, and we can cover more ground."
