Chapter 317: Regroup

[Island]

On the 4th day, even though many students were eliminated on the 3rd day, there were still many students who are in the island and was surviving till now. Since the sun had already dawned upon them, everyone who alert and cautious, had made their move at the break of dawn and begun exploring the island once more.

In particular Lorius and Ellen left at the break of dawn as they plan to search Lorius other team members that got separated during the incident of the teleportation circle.

As for Akito he simply took his leave after taking his simple breakfast and left Rosalyn and Goran who were alert agaisnt other teams movement.

Since that was the case, the last one who made their move was Shun's group since Shun waked up late to the point that the day was nearing noon. It seemed like exhaustion caught up to him, due to that he sleeped so deep that he exceeded his usual time of sleeping hours.

Of course no one blamed him for his oversleeping since Shun had undergone such harsh battle yesterday, since he was spent and Shun was the only trump card they have agaisnt Akito and Lorius, both Rosalyn and Goran let him sleep more while they guard their surroundings.

Of course during this time, some students from the Gritonnia Academy accidentally stumbled upon them and somewhat begged to join the group. Since both Goran and Rosalyn were known and quite famous students in the academy, the wandering Gritonnia Academy students immediately recognized their value and begged to join them.

Of course upon learning that Shun is also in the group, their resolve hardened even more since every student in the island that Shun was the champion in the last year six academies competition, since that was the case with Shun around, the group itself is even more formidable against the other teams.

During that span of time their simple group of three grew in numbers totaling to about 10 members. As if that number wasn't enough, Sonia also arrived and immediately recognized Rosalyn among the group. Just like that Sonia group merged with Rosalyn's, thus making the group bigger with their numbers reaching 25.

So the moment Shun woke up, he was greeted by the sight of many Gritonnia Academy students which welcomed him with smiles. Alongside it Shun was called by Rosalyn as they discussed on what to do.

"Shun! Your finally awake!" Said by Rosalyn

"Looks like pur sleeping beauty is awake" commented by Sonia

"You can't blame him Sonia, after all he fought against a powerful enemy yesterday, if it weren't for him, Lorius, and Akito, then Rosalyn would have died or better yet eliminated" retorted by Goran

"Wait what do you lean by Lorius and Akito?" Asked by Sonia

"Well I unknowingly provoked a powerful monster yesterday, it was so strong that it needed the combined effort from Shun, Akito, and Lorius to deal against it... with a temporary truce, the three well known formidable students joined up together in order to defeat one monster and believe me... you know the constant quakes yesterday? That was the result from the intense battle the three of them had against a monster" said by Rosalyn

"Wait! So that quakes and explosion are due to the battle yesterday? Just what kind of monster is that ? Is it really that strong that it needed the three of them to work together in order to defeat it?" Asked by Sonia

"Shamefully yes!" Confirmed by Rosalyn

After Rosalyn confirmed what happened yesterday to Sonia, Shun then begun to address the issue at hand.

"Anyway! I didn't expect to reunite with you here Sonia... how are you?"

"I'm fine! Honestly it wasn't easy for me to survive these past few days, the only reason why I survived till now is because I joined the other Gritonnia Academy students and used my magic to support them" said by Sonia

"Anyway we decided to use this place as a camp, it's better to set up a base rather than aimlessly going around with nowhere to settle down... what do you think Shun?"

At this point on setting up camp rather than constantly roaming around is the better choice. After all Constantly moving requires energy, which means you'll need more food and water. Staying in one place reduces energy expenditure and allows for efficient use of resources. What's more it is secure and safe to make a base rather than aimlessly roaming around. A well-built shelter provides better protection against harsh weather conditions compared to temporary setups during travel.

However, staying on one ace also has challenges, like limited resources, potential isolation, and the risk of extreme weather. The decision should be based on resource availability, safety, and the overall environment.

With that for the betterment of the many, Shun agreed to setting camp.

With the various students begun to move on order to build up walls and centerized their resources on the waterfall that was filled with fishes that came from highlands and the sea.

Alongside it a leader must be appointed so that it can lead this huge group and the person chosen for this position is none other than Rosalyn herself. Under her command the construction of the base commences smoothly.

Building a strong base requires selecting a safe location with access to clean water, food sources, and natural resources. A well-built shelter should provide protection from weather and wildlife, with sturdy walls, insulation, and an elevated floor if necessary.

Fire is essential for warmth, cooking, and signaling, so a secure fire pit with a steady fuel supply is crucial. Food and water storage should be organized to prevent spoilage and contamination, while hunting, fishing, or farming can help sustain long-term survival.

Tools like knives, axes, and ropes are necessary for construction, defense, and daily tasks. Security measures, such as barriers, traps, and lookout points, help protect against threats. Waste management, including a designated toilet area and proper garbage disposal, prevents disease and environmental damage. Finally, communication tools like fire signals, reflective objects, or markers can aid in navigation and rescue if needed.

Some of these types can be substituted by magic, nevertheless in less done a day, a simple base was formed for the students of Gritonnia Academy. That was what happened on the uneventful 4th day.

Because of this none of the students that their 4th day passed without casualties in their group, which relieved their stress.

Unbeknownst to them due to their base, some Gritonnia Academy students who were aimlessly roaming around, had somehow found their base and started heading for their safe haven. Because of this act, the phase of aimlessly roaming around had ended, ss they all entered the phase of base wars.
