Reynolds ran into the forest, accompanied by Hamon. He didn't have any qualms with killing any of these people if the chance presented itself.
After dashing into the forest for a few minutes, Hamon looked around searching for Reynolds who had disappeared into the forest. The thought of waiting for the others came to his mind, but thinking of the possible punishment he might face if he was the reason Reynolds escaped, he gritted his teeth and continued searching.
Reynolds was currently sitting on top of a boulder deep inside the forest on an open field. Being a Lightning Elementalist, he was faster than Hamon. Although, not all Lightning Elementalists are faster than Wind Elementalists in the same stage.
He could sense that there was only one person chasing after him, and this was exactly what he wanted. He waited leisurely while swinging his legs on the boulder until Hamon arrived.
