S1, E8: Ian and a group of other students are selected by Headmaster for a surprise survival training drill in the surrounding woods of the school that have up to this point been declared off limits. Initially excited about the prospects of finding out more about these areas, his joy is quickly crushed when he finds out his training partner is his rival Cal. Things go from bad to worse when they become lost in the woods after an argument gets them off course – a situation that alerts the Gnomes to their presence and brings the boys face-to-face with the Elite-Gnome, a stronger and faster advanced version of the typical Gnomes. As Ian and Cal barely elude the Elite-Gnome at every turn to get back to campus, they have to learn to trust one another if they hope to survive.
