章節 117: -116- What to do
As the students from each class gradually disembarked from the cruise ship and set foot on the deserted island, the first thing they noticed was a makeshift base.
It was described as a makeshift base, but it was essentially just like those often seen during sports festivals, with various equipment and tables and chairs set up inside erected tents, pieced together into a small stronghold, nothing particularly remarkable.
However, the students coming down from the cruise ship still took notice of it.
Because there, not only were various sophisticated instruments and machinery placed, but there was also a helicopter parked nearby.
Hori, who also disembarked from the cruise ship, naturally saw this scene and nodded slightly.
"It seems the school has made various emergency preparations."
Although it was a special exam, the students were ultimately left to independently survive in the wilderness.
If any problems arose that resulted in students suffering significant harm, even if it was an exam, the school would not escape blame.
Therefore, to cope with unforeseen situations, the school must have carefully arranged various facilities and measures to prevent students from encountering any misfortune.
Similarly disembarking from the cruise ship, Chabashira Sae, who had gathered all the students of Class D, also demonstrated this point with her actions.
"Before you set off, I have something to give you."
Saying so, Chabashira Sae took out a watch.
It was a very simple and basic electronic watch.
"You all need to receive one of these watches. Until the end of the exam one week later, you cannot take them off, and you must wear them on your wrists."
Chabashira Sae emphasized seriously.
"This watch not only serves to tell time but also has sensors to detect body temperature, pulse, and movements, as well as a satellite positioning system. In case of emergency, it also has a function to transmit distress signals to the school. If any serious problems occur, press the button on the inner side of the watch, and the school will immediately send a helicopter to pick you up."
For the safety of the students, the school had indeed considered various matters.
The purpose of this watch was to manage the students' health conditions, right?
After all, unlike in school, there were no cameras installed on this deserted island.
The school could only monitor the students' conditions with this watch to respond to unforeseen circumstances.
"So, if you remove this watch without permission, you will be punished. If you press the emergency button indiscriminately, you will lose your qualification for the exam. If the school detects serious problems with your body condition through the watch, you will also be brought back based on judgment. At that time, it will be considered as forfeiting midway. Don't act recklessly just to earn points, okay?"
After speaking, Chabashira Sae distributed the watches to everyone.
The students immediately put on the watches.
Only Horikita Suzune, for some reason, hesitated at first, but then sighed as if giving up and put on the watch.
Hori also put it on.
However, his thoughts were like this.
(With so many safety measures in place, what's the point of playing wilderness survival?)
If those adults in his clan had considered so much back then, Hori's training up to now would have been much easier.
Of course, if it had really been like that, Hori wouldn't be here today.
Hori was well aware of this.
But even though he understood, Hori couldn't help but think like this.
(It seems like this week of wilderness survival is just a game.)
At least, that's how it seemed to Hori.
Chabashira Sae continued to notify without being affected by Hori's thoughts.
"You should have all read the guidebooks and confirmed the rules, so you should know that each class needs to select a leader, right?"
Chabashira Sae glanced at everyone present.
"The presence of the leader will greatly determine your performance in this special exam. For this selection, make your decision carefully. If you have decided on the leader, report to me, and I will issue a key card engraved with the leader's name."
"The deadline is until the roll call this afternoon. If you haven't decided on a leader by then, I will randomly decide one."
"That's all the necessary announcements. Any questions?"
As Chabashira Sae's words fell, the students in the audience looked at each other.
In the end, not a single student stood up to speak.
Apparently, many people hadn't reacted to this sudden special exam yet.
Originally thought to be just enjoying the summer vacation, the unexpected turn of events would likely leave everyone in this state before their brains could process all the information.
Chabashira Sae seemed to understand this and did not insist.
"I'll be watching you on the side. You can come and ask questions anytime. As long as it's within the scope of what I can answer, I will try my best to answer you. Take your time."
After speaking, Chabashira Sae stepped aside and looked on.
From here on, the students would need to make their own decisions and determine their own course of action.
But this situation was equivalent to throwing a group of minors onto a deserted island. Who could immediately make impeccable statements and actions?
In the end, Hirata Yousuke stood up.
"There's still time to decide on the leader. Let's think about it a little longer, and there's no need to rush into a decision."
In his usual gentle tone, Hirata Yousuke spoke, soothing the many students while speaking.
"Now, let's decide on the next course of action first, and we'll confirm the rest later."
Hirata Yousuke's statement finally elicited some response from the students present.
"Yousuke-kun is right." Karuizawa Kei affirmed Hirata Yousuke, her boyfriend, in the first instance, saying, "Anyway, let's follow Yousuke-kun's instructions for now."
Karuizawa Kei's words received unanimous agreement from the students in the class.
Especially the girls.
"If it's Hirata-kun, then there's no problem."
"I leave it to you, Hirata."
"Could you please tell us what to do next?"
"Yeah, that's right."
The girls acknowledged Hirata Yousuke's leadership position.
This made some of the boys feel uncomfortable, but they didn't voice any objections.
Generally speaking, no one objected to Hirata Yousuke taking the lead.
"Hirata, we're counting on you."
Kushida Kikyou also made a request in a manner of asking for a favor.
In the situation where everyone was expecting him to take the lead, Hirata Yousuke didn't refuse.
However...
"I'd like to hear Nanaya-san's opinion first."
Hirata Yousuke directed his gaze towards Hori and said this.
"Nanaya-san, could you please share your thoughts with me?"
Hirata Yousuke made this request very sincerely.
