The group arrived at the Lotus Plaza, the meetup location, about 3 or four hours before the end, and there were only 5 people there before them.
They were all very tired, and a few were even being treated for their wounds at the side of the plaza. After all, if the exam ended while they were being treated elsewhere, then they'd have failed the exam as well.
Their wounded companions headed there immediately, saying their thanks to them.
The rest of the three of them found a spot under the shade, with Finn handing out jerkies to chew on, gaining a few looks, not that they cared, of course.
Some minutes later, though, a group of people approached them. Remus and Maria flinched guardedly, but Finn was happy to see them.
It was none other than Marcus, Victor, and several members of their groups. Finn smiled widely, and he immediately stood up to greet them.
"You're here!" Marcus yelled, and then grinned and looked at the others. "See! Toldya he'd be here early!"
