"Senpaku, I am Sakamoto. What brings you here?"

He was thinking about something.

I quickly calculated the time in my mind.

From the time he saw Class A occupy that stronghold in the cave to the time he saw it at this riverside stronghold, there was a difference of about an hour between the two strongholds being occupied.

This means that in just one hour, Class A not only moved from the first stronghold to this streamside stronghold, but also successfully completed the capture operation.

On this uninhabited island with its complex terrain and dense vegetation...

The efficiency of this operation is astonishing.

This is enough to show that the leaders of Class A not only have an extraordinary familiarity with the island environment, but also have physical strength and mobility far exceeding those of ordinary students.

Moreover, that name had also appeared among the students of Class A at the cave base earlier.

So, the answer seems obvious.

It is possible to do this.

In Class A, there's probably only that one person.

First Grade Summer Vacation: Chapter 100: Survival Master Sakamoto

The students of Class D were still in the open space by the stream.

When you're scrambling to figure out how to set up a temporary camp,

Class A's actions

It has already entered the next stage.

According to the preliminary statistics of Katsuragi Kohei and Totsuka Yahiko,

Class A, guided by the sand table provided by Sakamoto,

Amazing efficiency,

Five strongholds have been successfully captured in just a few hours.

They should be far ahead in the race to capture strongholds.

now,

The students of Class A were following behind Sakamoto.

We walked through a woodland where the terrain gradually rose.

"Watch your step, everyone, stay close."

Katsuragi Kohei, who was walking at the front of the group, would occasionally turn around to remind them.

His bald head gleamed in the sunlight filtering through the trees.

He was diligently fulfilling his responsibilities as an organizer.

in the team,

Kamuro Masumi walked silently, her gaze occasionally sweeping over Sakamoto's tall, upright figure ahead.

He then quickly moved away, his face expressionless.

Morishita Ai, on the other hand, looked excited.

I'm ready to personally document Sakamoto's upcoming "wilderness survival techniques".

"arrive."

Sakamoto, who was walking ahead, stopped.

The announcement was made in a calm voice.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace.

Passing through the last patch of bushes,

The scene in front of me suddenly became clear.

This is a plateau located on a higher part of the island.

It is backed by a huge rock wall, like a natural barrier.

The plateau is flat and dry.

It was covered with a thick layer of soft fallen leaves.

The most wonderful thing is,

A slender, clear spring gurgles out from one side of the mountain wall.

It gathers into a small, clear pool at the edge of the plateau.

Then it quietly flowed away along the cracks in the rocks.

It provides a stable source of fresh water,

It also cleverly avoids the problem of water accumulation and dampness.

The terrace offers excellent views.

You can overlook vast jungles below and the azure sea in the distance.

It is well-ventilated and has plenty of sunlight.

Wow...this place is amazing!

"It feels better than anywhere I've ever seen before!"

"And it's so clean and dry!"

The students in Class A couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Even the usually composed Katsuragi nodded slightly.

This location perfectly avoids virtually all natural problems.

Sakamoto turned around and faced the crowd.

He pushed up his glasses.

The lenses reflected a wise light in the sunlight.

"This place is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun. It is high and dry, with a convenient water source to avoid flooding, and a wide view to easily observe movement. I think this place is quite suitable as a campsite."

His tone remained as calm as ever.

But the words "acceptable" came out of his mouth...

That's already an extremely high evaluation.

"Then, let's begin building our temporary shelter."

Sakamoto continued,

“Special points are precious and should be used where necessary. Basic needs such as shelter from the wind and rain can be met by the power of nature.”

He did not give any orders.

Instead, they walked straight to a few lush, flexible trees on the edge of the terrace.

Under the curious gazes of the crowd,

Sakamoto began the demonstration.

His movements were fluid and precise.

From selecting suitable branches,

Then, its natural flexibility is utilized for bending and weaving.

Finally, the gaps between the trees and the protruding parts of the mountain wall were cleverly used as support points.

He did not use any tools.

With only his hands and some vines he picked up,

The flexible branches are interwoven into a net-like framework.

the whole process,

Rather than labor,

It was more of a powerful performance.

In less than ten minutes,

A structure relying on the mountainside and trees,

The basic framework of the shed, which was structurally sound and could accommodate several people, was thus clearly formed.

The roof is covered with layers of large banana leaves and broad tree leaves, which hang down to the ground.

Airtight.

"oh--!"

A low gasp of surprise rose from the crowd.

Morishita Ai was so excited that she muttered to herself:

"Utilizing the resilience of trees... natural support points... vine binding techniques... amazing!"

Sakamoto leaped lightly from the makeshift scaffold.

He patted the dust off his hands.

"This is the basic structure. You can work in groups to build shelters large enough to accommodate the whole class, using the surrounding materials. The key is to utilize the existing terrain and vegetation, rather than forcibly modifying it."

"Mutual assistance and collaboration lead to greater efficiency."

Katsuragi Kohei immediately understood Sakamoto's thoughts.

He stepped forward and began to systematically divide the group into teams:

"The boys will be mainly responsible for building the framework and moving materials, while the girls will be responsible for collecting suitable leaves for covering. We will work in groups and help each other, following the method demonstrated by Sakamoto-san!"

Under Katsuragi's organization and Sakamoto's occasional guidance,

The students in Class A enthusiastically devoted themselves to the construction of the camp.

Although Masumi Kamuro was somewhat taciturn,

But he has excellent hands-on skills.

Encouraged by her classmates, Miki Yamamura

They also carefully tried weaving branches.

A rare focused smile appeared on his face.

Ran Morishita also enthusiastically helped pass the vines.

Sakamoto is also helping everyone make minor adjustments.

True builders

It refers to every student in Class A.

As the sun almost completely sinks below the horizon...

A campsite that is already taking shape and has been rationally divided into sections.

It has already been established on this high ground.

Although it looks somewhat rudimentary

But it is already a habitable shelter.

A sense of accomplishment and collective honor,

It arose spontaneously in the hearts of the students in Class A.

however,

After the busy period,

Another practical problem has emerged—
