A few weeks passed as everyone started to settle down from the fight between Fezz and Nanami. Everyone started to focus on their classes and training, many started clubs and many tried to go on dates thinking about their future husband's or wife's.
Mr.kokushi: Everyone settle down. I have an announcement to make.
Everyone slowly started to stop talking and pay more attention to Mr.Kokushi.
Mr.kokushi: So next week we will have our annual school camping trip and everyone is required to attend or else you will be expelled from the school.
Everyone looked at Mr.Kokushi with excitement as everyone was looking forward to camping and getting away from school work.
Mr.Kokushi: So on this camping trip you guys will be at the great forest behind the school. It isn't as it looks, the great forest is a very dangerous place as deeper you go the stronger the creatures.
Everyone started to panic and think if this is a good idea.
Mr.kokushi: it will be ok. You guys will be in the team that you were assigned and we will have instructors there also. Point on this camp is to teach everyone how to survive on their own. So everyone will need to build their own shelter, get their own food and everything else is needed for survival.
As the days passed everyone started to pack their own bags, what to bring and what was needed. The students start to plan their strategies.
During the day of the camping trip every student came to the back of the school to meet with the teachers and get the information and rules of the camping trip.
Advisor 1: Ok everyone, you will be divided into groups and you will need to learn how to live alone for the next 3 days.
Advisor 2: You all will have a checklist to complete, they are side missions for your team to Finnish to show you have grown.
Advisor 1: whichever team fails to finish all tasks will be expelled from the school on the spot no exceptions.
Everyone started to panic and look around at each other with despair and disbelief.
Advisor 1: Everyone needs to stay on the trail we have mapped out for everyone. Do not wander off or anything.
Advisor 2: There are many strong creatures and they only get stronger the deeper you go in.
Advisor 1: If for any reason anyone encounters a strong creature you need to run to safety and notify us as we will be looking over you all from a distance.
Advisor 2: every team will have 1 flare gun to signal for help and if you do you will be expelled also. So be careful how you approach this camp trip.
All the students started to talk, they walked for a long time before reaching the camp site. Fezz and Aka looked over to their right and saw Nanami and her team were setting up next to them. Everyone on the Fezz team started to get scared and wonder what to do.
Fezz walks over to Nanami
Fezz: Hey, Nanami, how are you doing?
Nanami looks at Fezz and answers in a normal tone.
Nanami : Everything is good. She starts to look at fezz and looks away as if she was embarrassed.
Fezz: That was a great battle. I learned a lot and was able to improve. But I want to start over and clear the misunderstanding.
Nanami: Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?
Fezz: You called me a peeping tom in front of everyone. That morning I was walking to clear my mind as I couldn't sleep and I came across the school gym. I saw you practicing your swordsmanship and I was applaud of how amazing your stance was or how sharp each swing was. I had no other motives.
Nanami: oh I am sorry I didn't know. I thought of something else.
Fezz: it's ok
Yosei: Fezz we need you here.
Fezz: ok I'm on my way. Ok take care Nanami hope we can battle again.
Fezz walks away and Nanami stares. She couldn't say anything because Fezz beat her fair and didn't know what to say.
Fezz: Yah Yosei tell me how I can help.
Yosei: We need to decide who's doing what?
Fezz: Well to be honest I can't do much anyway.
Aka: Well you still need to do something. We're not Higa who will bend to your every request.
Fezz: What time did I ever order Higa to do anything for me?
Aka: OK ok now let's get this done. I will take care of building the tent as I have done it many times before.
Yuki: I will go look for drinking water. I think I saw a good place while walking this way.
Hono: I will go and pick up wood and other pieces to help with the tent and fireplace.
Yosei: I will try to set up a safety site for us to hide out in case of an emergency.
Higa: I can go and scout out the area so we have more idea of the land.
Aka: That's great Higa, it will help us with our task.
Fezz: So what should I do?
Aka: The only task left is to find food and bring it back.
Fezz: I am able to do that. Leave it to me no problem. I'll make sure we don't go hungry. But one question.
Higa: Yes master, what's the question?
Fezz: I can find the food but who is going to cook it since none of us knows how to.
Everyone looked at Fezz in disbelief and started to freak out. Yuki starts to cry thinking he is going to starve, Yosei starts to get paranoid and the rest just stand there in shock.
Aka: Do not worry, I have a plan. I talked to the other team and they were willing to help us cook if we helped them gather food.
Everyone started to cheer and hug Aka. Everyone shouting your God a Savior.
Higa: alright let's get started
Everyone starts to do their job. Fezz starts to walk in the forest looking for edible plants and fruits. After a while he notices he was lost and tries to get back. As he walks back he slips on wet mud and gets dirt all over him. Fezz sees a waterfall and decides to clean up over there and get some water to drink also. As Fezz undresses his shirt and starts wiping his legs, arms and face he hears a cracking sound. He quickly jumped and grabbed the 1st branch he can.
Fezz: Who's there?
Nanami: Sorry I didn't mean to scare you
Nanami's eyes were wide open as she gazed at Fezz's body and started to think about that chest and arms, how well it's toned and all. All of a sudden Fezz remembers he doesn't have any shirt on and covers his body.
Fezz: Hey now who's the peeping tom? Turn around already.
Nanami: Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Nanami quickly turns around in embarrassment as she turns red in the cheeks using her hands to cover her face.
Fezz: Nah I'm only joking. I'm a guy with nothing to be ashamed of without a shirt. You're good Nanami.
Nanami: Oh still it's not something I'm used to.
Fezz: What? Hard to believe how cute you are.
Nanami started to blush again hearing Fezz say that.
Fezz: So why are you here?
Nanami: I got the job of gathering food and I got lost. I left my water bottle back on the camp site and heard the waterfall so I thought I could come and get a drink.
Fezz: oh if you want you can use mine.
Fezz hands Nanami his water bottle but Nanami was too shy to take it thinking it would be an indirect kiss if she drank out of it.
Nanami: It's ok I will just drink it from the fall.
Fezz: Hey I think it would be better if we work together and gather the food. We can help each other get back to camp safely.
Nanami: I agree it's the best idea.
Fezz and Nanami started to head back to camp. As they started to head back they also collected vegetables and fruits for everyone. All of a sudden a deer jumps in front of them and they both stop.
Fezz: Oh my it's a deer.
Nanami: Yeah, we should let it go.
Fezz: I was thinking of capturing it so we can eat the meat.
Nanami: Do you have any idea how fast they are and how hard it would be for you with everything you're holding.
Fezz: Oh you're right.
The deer runs away from them. Fezz and Nanami continue to walk back to the camp.
Meanwhile back at the school…..
Security guard: Principal Yasuhiro, may I come in.
Ms. Michie: Yes you may come in.
Security guard: Ms. Yasuhiro I think this is something you might want to see for yourself. These are the pictures of the dead animals I found around the forest. It looked like they were attacked and brutally killed by something with sharp claws and fangs.
Ms. Michie: What is this? How can something happen here without anyone seeing or hearing anything?
Security guard: Also there were these weird prints found at the spots. At 1st I thought it was one animal doing this but with the amount of footprints it's more than a dozen. And they are definitely big and dangerous. We need to get the kids out of the Great Forest principal.
Ms. Michie: Get the kids out, why?
Security guard: Because I found all of these near the campsite and I was on my way to tell you but I was too late.
Ms. Michie: What this is bad. I need all guards on alert and stand by.
Security guard: Yes principal at once.
The security guard left to tell all the guards the plan. The same time Ms. Michie called in two teachers who were on standby. She tells them both to take other staff and bring the students back safely, canceling the camp. The teachers headed out as fast as they could.
Back at the forest…..
Fezz and Nanami finally find their way back to the campsite.
Aka: Oh man, what took you so long?
Higa: Master, I thought you were lost.
Yosei: What, what is Nanami doing with you?
Everyone was stunned looking at both of them.
Hono: Guys you're thinking too much. I think Nanami had the same task as Fezz. Right?
Fezz: Yah we both were tasked with gathering food but we both got lost.
Yuki: Oh no, does that mean the food is lost if Fezz is missing?
Aka: Take your brains out your stomach. He's right here.
Yuki: Fezz your back where's the food man I am starving.
Fezz: here they are.
Higa: Wow I think it's too much for us.
Fezz: Well Nanami and I decided to collect food for everyone and thought cooking it together would be better.
Everyone came and agreed to it.
Nanami: Well I have to go back to my tent. Good luck.
Fezz: Guys you won't believe what happened to me.
Higa: Master what happened, what are you talking about?
Fezz: I was collecting food and I slipped and fell on mud. So I decided to clean myself at the nearby waterfall.
Yosei: Are you ok man?
Fezz: Yes I'm ok, so I was cleaning myself up and all of a sudden I heard someone...
Nanami quickly runs towards Fezz and tries to stop him from finishing.
Nanami: What noooo stop.
Aka: What why?
Yuki: Yah I want to hear the rest
Hono: so come on Fezz what did you hear
Fezz: I heard a deep behind me and it scared it
Fezz looked at Nanami with a smile. Nanami smirked and embarrassingly walked away.
Yuki: Oh a deer. Did you try to get it? They are so good
Fezz: No it was too fast I couldn't.
All the students started to work together to clean and cook and get table ready. All the students gathered around the middle of the campsite and ate the food together as they chatted and laughed.
Slowly everyone started to finish up and started to clean up making sure they left no garbage behind. After cleaning everyone heads to their tents to get some sleep.
After a while as some time passed by a loud scream was heard. Quickly the students rushed out to see what was going on. As they came out they saw 2 students on the ground bleeding screaming in pain. They were attacked by 4 weird animals. As more students came out they decided to run over and try to help. They chased the 2 animals out and started to wrap the wounds to stop the bleeding but as they started to stand they saw more of those animals coming out. Slowly all the students saw they were surrounded by those animals.
