The next morning, the sun's rays shone into the Class A camp.
The two students selected yesterday as wake-up supervisors woke up the others one by one in the tents. After all, roll call was needed in the morning, and not allowing to sleep in was also a test for the students.
After the roll call, the assigned cooks began to use the kitchen utensils to prepare breakfast at yesterday's pace. Because they still needed to explore the island and collect supplies later, it would be very dangerous to do physical labor on an empty stomach.
The students gathered around the table for breakfast all focused their attention on Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami, who were sitting in the middle. As the core figures in the class, they needed to issue orders for the second day of the exam.
"For today, let's continue to execute the plan step by step." Hashima Hikaru took a sip of water, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the class as he said calmly, "Yesterday, the base that our team discovered has already been occupied by Class B, so we can temporarily pass that by. The goal is to continue exploring the remaining bases on the island."
Yesterday, a total of three teams were sent out. Apart from Hashima Hikaru's team, the open space that Kanzaki Ryuuji's team went to was not a base, but a clear camp artificially opened up, so they could only collect some supplies to bring back.
And although the Shibata team that returned last found a base, it just so happened that this base had already been occupied by other classes. What was even more uncomfortable was that although the base had been occupied, there was no one inside.
According to the rules, since the base had already been occupied, members of other classes could not use it, even if there was no one there, otherwise it would still be a violation.
This resulted in Shibata, who wanted to gather information while staying there, having no choice but to forcibly guard next to it with the other two students, to see if they could spot the members of the base class who came to collect supplies. That was why they were the last to return to the camp.
"And apart from the base, we have to do another thing."
The boy held the map from the handbook in his hand and explained to everyone, "This uninhabited island has differences in height and depth, so in addition to searching for the base, everyone can also look for some high places to look out, maybe you can find the camps of other classes."
"After all, a fire needs to be lit in the camp, and as long as a fire is lit, it will definitely leave traces. This can help confirm the distance between them and our camp."
"After confirming the distance, can we better investigate the candidates for their leaders?" Shibata raised his hand. He had been concerned about yesterday's failure and thought that he had to get his revenge.
"Yes."
Hashima Hikaru nodded and looked at Ichinose Honami next to him, "The core of our class's current actions is to revolve around investigating the names of the leaders of other classes. Does everyone understand?"
"Understood."
The students in the camp immediately answered in unison. Yesterday, Hashima Hikaru had already told everyone that he knew the name of the leader of Class B, so everyone was full of energy now.
"Then let's execute the plan according to the distribution of personnel. Dismissed."
After giving his instructions, Hashima Hikaru reached out and helped Ichinose Honami up from the ground. Today, like yesterday, they would continue to explore the base and collect information as members of the same group.
And Andou Sayo, who was in the same team yesterday, suddenly said this morning that she was going to join the group of other people. Although the boy was not sure what the reason was, he thought it didn't matter, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami set off from the camp again, this time they changed direction, different from the route they moved yesterday.
Walking in the forest, the two were very close, and because they were alone, Ichinose Honami quite naturally began to call the boy by his name.
"Hikaru, come and take a look, is this a special plant?" The girl squatted down. She found a different plant under a certain tree, so she immediately called out the other party's name.
"Is it? Let me see."
After mastering [Wilderness Survival (Master)], Hashima Hikaru had a fairly comprehensive understanding of the various plants growing in the forest. As long as he could find useful things, he might be able to minimize the use of exam points.
"This... seems to be honeysuckle." The boy touched the plant's roots and then picked it up and smelled it before making his own judgment.
"Honeysuckle? What can it be used for?"
"Hehe, if it is paired with plants such as mint or burdock, perhaps it can be used to make herbal medicine for treating colds." Hashima Hikaru dug out all the honeysuckle he found and said to the girl next to him, "Although the students in our class are still relatively healthy at the moment, there are still six days left. If we can make herbal medicine for treating colds, we can prepare for emergencies."
"I see." The girl nodded, carefully helping Hashima Hikaru collect all the honeysuckle.
"Let's continue to explore."
The two continued to walk along the road, paying attention to the various herbs and plants along the way.
After continuing to walk for more than ten minutes, under a certain bush, Ichinose Honami seemed to have noticed some more special plants, and quickly called out to the boy in front.
"Hikaru, come and take a look, is this the perilla leaf you mentioned before? The outermost circle seems to be purple."
"Eh, is it such a coincidence?"
"I think this is very likely to be perilla leaf. What's your opinion, Hikaru?" The pink-haired girl turned her head to look at Hashima Hikaru's profile.
"Maybe you guessed right. It seems we've discovered another new herb."
Hashima Hikaru reached out and touched the plants, and then began to collect all the plants. They had prepared bags before they set off, so they could carry a lot.
After walking forward for a while, two figures were encountered at the corner ahead.
And coincidentally, these two were both acquaintances.
"Eh, Ichinose-san? And Hashima-kun!"
After making eye contact, Kikyo Kushida, with her short hair, greeted the two with a smile, and standing next to her was a black-haired girl with a cold expression, Suzune Horikita.
"Kushida-san?"
Ichinose Honami was a little surprised. After Hashima Hikaru put away the herbs, he was also a little strange about the current situation.
Kikyo Kushida... and Suzune Horikita?
These two are actually acting together?
Hashima Hikaru's expression, who knew that there was a complex entanglement between them, was a little dazed, but he still replied politely, "Good morning, Kushida-san, Horikita-san."
Kushida responded energetically: "Good morning, Hashima-kun. I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Good... morning."
Although Suzune Horikita didn't like socializing, she felt that it was a little impolite not to greet Hashima Hikaru, so she still spoke up after Kushida.
However, her voice was a little low now, and the high-cold temperament that was originally full of energy seemed to have dissolved a lot, looking a little weird.
After discovering this, Hashima Hikaru couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Hiss, is she feeling unwell?
This is really unlucky.
