TEST DAY 2:

"Hey! We caught some fish!"

"Look at all the fruit we found!"

"Great work, everyone." Hirata picked up the empty water bottles in his arms.

Sudo put the fish net down. "What should we do next?"

"Could you two get the fire ready?"

"Sure thing!"

Hirata faced Kushida. "Kushida-san's group, you oversee the rationing."

"Hai!"

"And anyone who's not busy with other tasks, help us collect drinking water."

"Okay!"

Suzune sat down next to Ayanokoji who looked like he was having another emo inner monologue. She waited for him to finish before asking,

"Do you want to go scout out the other classes leaders?"

"... Sure."

The two headed off saying that they would look for firewood as cover.

They walked through the woods at a decent pace.

"So," Suzune began. "You found class A's camp out the other day?"

"Yeah. I believe it was back this way."

"Who do you think is their leader?"

Ayanokoji was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know."

"Well, we both know it's definitely not Katsuragi."

Ayanokoji didn't answer and just kept walking.

"It's clear they've placed a target on your back." He spoke.

"Oh, you mean with Ryuuen? Eh, don't worry about it. I've got a way out if anything bad happens."

Ayanokoji nodded. Around five minutes later they came across class B's camp.

"Oh! Horikita-san! Ayanokoji-kun!" They looked over to see Ichinose running up to them. "What are you doing out here?"

"We were looking for branches but got side-tracked." Suzune answered with a lie easily. She doesn't necessarily have a problem with lying, but it is a double-edged sword when used to often.

(She would know.)

"Well, how about you come back to our camp for a little bit?"

"I'm cool with that, you coming?" She looked up to Ayanokoji, who remained blank faced.

"Yeah."

She turned back to Ichinose. "Lead the way, then."

They cut through the bushes to find class B helping each other do various tasks. "There's plenty of fruit in the forest, and we can probably catch fish in the ocean. We have the waterfalls for fresh water, too."

"Looks pretty disciplined." Suzune looked around. "Have you had any particular hiccups?"

Ichinose laughed. "Yeah, it was really hard at first. But we rigged a few things up and now we're making it work."

"Cool."

Ichinose was about to say more when someone walked up to her.

"Sorry to interrupt..." Kaneda Satoru, one of class C's only braincells besides the tyrant himself. Also kinda looks like Horikita Manabu if he got a bad dye job.

"What is it?"

"I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help."

Ichinose turned her full body to him. "Well, why don't you help Chihiro-chan and the others over there?"
