Real teaching, but diary flow

Raising her head, listening to the whispers of her classmates, Shiraha Chihiro, who should have been his girlfriend but hadn't chosen to go public with their relationship, gave a bitter smile.

...Sure enough, no matter who it is, everyone suddenly feels that Che-kun and Kofun are a couple.

“Yes, I think so too,” she said.

Therefore, precisely because of this, she must hold onto the only identity she can hold onto and enjoy the happiness she is entitled to.

I am your girlfriend.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, can I have the guidebook now?" Watching Asakusa Tetsu's figure disappear into the distance, Ichinose Honami turned around and asked Hoshinomiya Chie for the checklist.

Then, holding up the handbook she had brought, she called out to her classmates:

"Everyone, while we wait for Asakusa-kun to return, let's discuss how to save the most points!"

He has his battlefield, and she has her own direction to strive for.

......

As he traverses the jungle, Toru Asakusa begins to play the role of Tarzan.

It was definitely faster to leap from tree branch to branch than to push through the bushes on the ground.

The biggest advantage of traveling through the trees is that there are fewer obstacles and a wider field of vision, allowing you to see scenery that you can't see on the ground.

With the addition of highlighted areas on the minimap, Asakusa Toru only needs to keep moving forward to determine if there are any strongholds that can be captured along the way.

Before long, he successfully found a broken 'giant tree'.

Great, we've found the class's base.

Following the signpost called the Giant Tree, we turned and traveled a short distance southwest, referring to the illuminated image on the mini-map.

Soon, Asakusa Tetsu found a fairly suitable area in the crevice of the island.

A huge rock lies across the bank, and behind it is a small waterfall mostly surrounded by cliffs. The thick trees spread their shade, creating large areas of shadow. Although not perfect, the well-balanced environment is just right to be a class base.

The key card was lightly touched on the screen terminal device in the center of the base, and two messages appeared smoothly on the screen.

Class A

【07:59:59】

The class, and the countdown to the eight-hour occupation period.

From this moment forward, this outpost belongs to them.

Chapter 199 Holy crap, they didn't even bother to act!

Once the bases are located, Asakusa Toru only needs to return and report back before he can begin his sweeping campaign.

He didn't even need to go back the way he came.

There's no need to rely on memory to reconstruct the route, nor is it necessary to leave directional marks along the way...

Oh no, the second one is still needed, since his classmates are different from him and don't have a mini-map.

If someone gets lost and goes in the wrong direction, they could lead the whole class astray.

So, do I still have to go back the way I came?

Let's just go the same way; it won't take much time anyway.

With his hand over his shoulder, Asakusa Tetsu pulled out a voice recorder.

He couldn't very well use his fingernails to mark the road. Although if someone saw him, it might raise questions like, "Where did this guy bring the recording pen from?" But considering that the guys from Longyuan had gone to great lengths to bring a lot of stuff, he could always get away with it by saying that the security check wasn't strict enough.

That's right, Asakusa Tetsu certainly knew that Ryuen Sho had managed to bring a lot of things off the ship, and he could also see that Horikita Suzune had prepared a lot but brought nothing down with her.

He's not blind. Not to mention that many students in Class C had things found on them during security checks, even if he didn't watch them press the buttons, anyone could tell with a little observation that the students in Class C were hiding a lot of things.

After all, most of the students in Class C become quite relaxed after passing through security.

If it weren't for the fact that security checks are only conducted once, they would all have been caught, one by one.

This also shows just how straightforward Horikita Suzune is. Ryuen Sho immediately came up with a solution, but she was the only one who actually obediently didn't bring anything after hearing that she couldn't bring anything.

In short, if Class C could bring the recorder off the ship, there was no reason why Asakusa Tetsu couldn't bring it off as well.

At worst, I can just put it in the diary later. As long as I don't take out a new voice recorder, this one in my hand can be put into the diary as the 'main prop'.

...In fact, picking up a stone randomly should theoretically be the optimal solution.

But he finds voice recorders more convenient to use, and even if he doesn't use them on the markings, he might be able to record something interesting by simply taking one out.

The directional markers were quickly placed, and at a slightly slower pace, Asakusa Tetsu returned to the beach where he had landed.

"I'm back." Without taking a breath, in just over ten minutes, before the sun had even set, Asakusa Tetsu returned to his original spot.

Stopping her discussion with her classmates, Honami Ichinose smiled.

Welcome back.

Beside her, in an extremely soft voice, Chihiro Shiraha also whispered:

Welcome back.

Just like a wife who stays at home and a husband who returns from working away from home.

"Wow, Asakusa-kun found a base already?" Seeing that he had just left not long ago and was back in the blink of an eye, without even breaking a sweat, the classmates couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "How come we didn't realize Asakusa-kun was so fast before?"

If it were Class D, they might question whether Asakusa Tetsu hadn't even bothered to find the base and had just wandered around before returning.

But their class would never say such stupid things.

They are never stingy with their praise.

"Wow, that's amazing. At this rate, we'll be able to take over most of the outposts on the island in no time, right? If it's eight hours per minute... I can't even begin to calculate how many points we'll get on this exam."

"As expected of Asakusa-kun!"

After exchanging glances and nodding with his classmates, Asakusa Toru finally spoke:

"The outpost has been found. Did you get the guidebook?"

"Yes, it's here with me!" Shiraha Chihiro quickly handed over the manual, raising her hand.

Taking the manual, he quickly flipped through it without directly revealing the location of the base. Instead, Asakusa Toru turned to look at Hoshinomiya Chie, who was standing to the side.

"First, give me a new pen, and then... a camera, please."

The former is used for drawing maps, while the latter is used... well, it's a tool for messing around with people.

There are many detailed rules regarding point deductions in this special exam. Points will be deducted for everything, including urinating or defecating indiscriminately, littering and polluting the environment, being absent from roll call, using violence to seize supplies, and even using a stronghold occupied by another class without permission.

However, unlike the behavioral norms exam, where a large number of cameras are installed in a highly disciplined school to record students' every move and deduct points frame by frame, there are no cameras on this deserted island.

In other words, the criteria for deducting points are either clear 'physical evidence' or 'witness testimony' that can be forged.

This is intriguing.

I said he used the stronghold I occupied without permission, but if I can't provide evidence, I obviously can't easily deduct points.

That's why he needs to use a camera.

Incidentally, it might also capture some interesting scenes.

"Teru, hold on tight, here's your pen and camera." After a brief exchange, Hoshinomiya Chie quickly handed over the supplies she had received to Asakusa Teru.

He casually hung the camera around his neck and placed it openly in front of his chest, then turned to the last page of the guidebook.

This guidebook, which is provided to each class, has a total of five blank pages.

You can tear it off and use it as you like.

Of course, he doesn't need to tear it off; he just needs to draw a simple route forward by referring to the trajectory on the mini-map.

The route, landmarks, destination, and even the exact distance to walk can all be calculated using the scale shown on the minimap.

"Here you go." However, Asakusa Tetsu finally tore off a piece of white paper and handed the guidebook with the route map to Ichinose Honami: "Go this way and you will see a 'broken giant tree'. Then go southwest from there, that is, go straight from here and then turn in that direction, and you will see the base."

gesturing directions, Asakusa Tetsu continued, "..."

"It's near a forest and there's a waterfall nearby, so the water should be drinkable if all goes well. But just in case, it's best to boil it a bit. It won't take much time. I've looked into it, and it seems like we could try using absorbent cloth tied to the trees to make a hammock. That should reduce the need for a tent a lot. If you're feeling lazy, you can just use absorbent cloth instead of a tent, which will save you a lot of money."

"Ah."

After giving a few casual instructions and confirming that Ichinose Honami remembered the direction, Asakusa Tetsu once again embarked on his journey.

This is when the coloring game truly begins.

......

The uninhabited island has an area of ​​about 0.5 square kilometers and a maximum elevation of 230 meters. In terms of area, it is very close to that of the school.

But after all, this is an island, with its hills and valleys, surrounded by trees and crisscrossed by rivers.

Therefore, exploring with a simple plane is clearly not the right choice.

After a moment's thought, Asakusa Tetsu decisively chose to circle the island.

If the island were a perfect circle, its circumference would be approximately 2.5 kilometers. However, it is clearly not a perfect circle, so this figure needs to be estimated a little more.

But no matter how you estimate it, if you maintain enough stamina and a steady pace, it wouldn't take an outstanding graduate of the white gym more than twenty minutes to complete a lap.

Considering that the beach, seawater, and terrain may have some influence, perhaps we can pinpoint the time to around fifteen minutes more precisely.

Of course he could do even faster; after all, he's a graduate of the White Gym. If he couldn't reach the limits of human capability, then his level would be far too low.

However, it's not just speed that needs to be considered, but also range. He needs to work non-stop for seven days straight, so starting with a sprint would be too foolish.

If he can come easily, he should certainly run easily.

go ahead!

"Hu-hu-"

The whistling wind brushed past, and the fog on the minimap was gradually dispelled. One by one, the key cards in their hands were pressed onto the strongholds along the way, marking the target strongholds with the name of Class A.

Asakusa Toru circled the island faster than the expected fifteen minutes.

The fishing huts near the shore have been confirmed to be occupied, and the lookout tower on the shore has also been successfully marked.

Of course, in addition to these two known strongholds, the other small strongholds along the way that were lined up on the shore were also taken into their possession.

Just when Asakusa Tetsu thought that all he had to do next was the same old tedious repetitive work, he realized that...

As he walked through the forest, he saw a 'gorilla'.

Well, strictly speaking, he's not entirely a gorilla, but at first glance he does look very much like one—a blond man.

"Hahahaha—" A hearty laugh mingled with the figure leaping on the tree branches, and her short, flowing golden hair reflected a dazzling light under the bright sunlight.

Having shed his sweltering sports jacket, a blond, naked man, revealing large swaths of muscle, was leaping through the woods.

Without a doubt, this man is Koenji Rokusuke.

He was also the one and a half among the one and a half people who could possibly stop him, as he had said.

Toru Asakusa: "......"

It's extremely offensive and irritating to the eyes.

Maybe we should just change direction and head that way later.

Just as he was thinking this, Koenji in the tree suddenly stopped and turned around.

"Hahaha, I am so beautiful." Asakusa Tetsu thought that he had noticed him stopping, but Koenji just turned around and sighed like that before turning back and jumping up again.

As he jumped, he shouted, "But I, standing amidst nature, am utterly beautiful—"

After leaping around a few times, Koenji Rokusuke's figure disappeared.

"...You're crazy." Asakusa Tetsu muttered under his breath before resuming his journey in the original direction.

Koenji's direction was slightly off from the direction he intended to go; moving forward a little further would have created enough distance to avoid a collision.

However, just because he can't bump into Koenji doesn't mean he can't bump into other people.

"Swish, swish—" The swaying branches were pressed down by the weight, and then straightened up again because Asakusa, who was stepping on the tree, moved. The back-and-forth shaking caused countless leaves to fall down, making a swish sound.

"Seriously, what is that guy Sakayanagi!"

As soon as he got close, Asakusa Tetsu heard a complaint at just the right moment.

"Yahiko, someone's here." Another voice seemed to be trying to stop him from talking, but it was too late.
