At the same time James and Sarah were talking about their experiences in this test, the last member of this group was currently being carried through the forest by an injured mage.

The appearance of both of them was quite bad, with most of their clothes in tatters and multiple wounds on their bodies in addition to dirt stains that inevitably appeared due to them having contact with the ground the moment they both fell to the ground.
As for why Kesar was carrying Jay, that was because the damage the latter had taken finally became too much for him to overcome by sheer willpower... or at least that's what he had told Kesar.
After the anticlimactic death of the Aqugas snake, Jay moved to help Kesar, but just before he could even attempt to wake him up, his body suddenly stopped responding to his commands and he fell to the ground, accompanied by another system message that definitely left Jay shocked.
