"----"
The scorching summer heat hung thickly through the forest.
Even though the blazing sunlight pouring down from the sky was blocked by the dense trees, within a forest of such density, the heat became even more unbearable because of the humid air.
Led by Fang Li, the Class D students trekked through the forest.
"It's so hot..."
"I'm so thirsty too..."
"Did anyone bring water?"
Such voices gradually arose among the Class D students, and complaints continued without end.
Naturally, they had not been allowed to bring water. Otherwise, it could not be called wilderness survival.
Still, despite the constant complaints, the Class D students could only keep moving forward as best they could.
Because everyone subconsciously understood that if they could not endure even this much hardship, then the next seven days would truly be over for them.
If it had been before, perhaps someone would have been unable to bear it and suggested stopping for a rest.
However, after Fang Li had thoroughly put them in their place on the shore, none of the students would suggest resting at a time like this.
Therefore, although the complaints never stopped, not a single person halted. They all did their best to keep up with Fang Li.
Among them, Hirata Yosuke and Sudo Ken, who belonged to clubs and had better stamina, volunteered to carry the luggage.
Those were supplies provided by the school.
There were tents, flashlights, matches, and cardboard boxes, plastic bags, and absorbent cloth needed for makeshift toilets. Though there was not much, they were still troublesome burdens during this march that so easily drained their stamina, so only the stronger students could carry them.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was carrying cardboard boxes as well.
Meanwhile, Horikita Suzune silently followed at the very back of the group. From
