"Oh, it looks like they are guilty of something for sure", Aaron muttered as he chased the runners.
They were very far away at the start, and when they started to run, they drank something, which made them run faster.
"Oh, shit, they made themselves faster. If I keep trying to put the image that I am just a second-year student, then things might escalate into something bad. I am no hero, but this is my home and I have to give 100% of my effort if the situation demands it", Aaron sighed, thinking about the possible ramifications of the choices he has to make or not make.
Aaron felt that letting even one of the five disappear now would have significant ramifications, which he didn't want to happen. So, he increased his speed.
A few seconds later, the group split up, and each of the five ran away in a different direction.
"Son of a...", Aaron cursed and followed a random one, but he didn't let go of the other four.
