Survival day 01

22 students gather around a small fountain, scattering in different directions. Not far from them is a lake.

"At least, we won't have to worry about water," remarks Sharia.

Some approach the lake cautiously. Lenin notices something significant in the water, prompting them to retreat immediately.

Liya surveys the area, explaining, "The point system measures excellence here. Our monthly income is based on the points we accumulate by the end of the month. Negative points don't mean we have to pay; points only decrease if we earn negative points. We'll get 1000 points each day in this test if we manage to avoid any negative points."

Meanwhile, Lenin sits on a rock, engrossed in reading the guidebook.

"What are you doing, pest? You're going to get a lot of negative points," warns Sharia.

Lenin responds, "Wait a minute, loser. This book is very interesting."

While some students gather wood, set up tents, search for food, or scout the area, Lenin remains absorbed in the guidebook. A bird observes the activities from a nearby tree.

In the Okabi royal palace,

A warrior with a golden sword bows down to the king.

"Grand General Conor, tell me, who is the supreme king of Odresha?"

"It is you, my lord," replies Conor.

King Zarius corrects him, "Wrong. It is the people. Why did you slaughter everyone in East Odresha during the last operation?"

"Forgive me, my lord. I'm ready for any punishment," pleads Conor.

King Zarius decides, "You are dismissed from the position, for now."

"As you wish, my lord," Conor acknowledges.

King Zarius orders, "Someone, take him away from my sight."

Conor leaves his golden sword on the ground, and King Zarius reflects on it.

Grand General Conor finds himself locked up in prison.

"Hey, Grand General Conor, seems like you are home. Why are you in my cell? Is Father that concerned about my security?" questions Polin.

Conor replies, "Greetings, young Lord Polin."

In the Woodenpool jungle,

As evening falls, Sharia crafts a bottle from natural resources and heads to the lake for water. A sudden crocodile attack prompts Lenin to intervene swiftly, rescuing Sharia and engaging in a playful fight.

"Now, you've done it, pest."

"Nice way to say thank you, loser," retorts Lenin.

While Lenin and Sharia spar, the crocodile and onlookers grow bored. Unexpectedly, lightning strikes, and Liya warns, "Wait, it's about to rain!! In winter!!! Everyone, hurry up and get in the tents."

Torrential rain ensues, wreaking havoc on the tents. Inside one particular tent, Sharia and Lenin bicker about leaving wood outside.

"Why didn't you bring them inside, loser?" questions Lenin.

Orni asks Liya, "Um...are they always like this?"

The fragile tents battle against the heavy rain, becoming a warzone. Raindrops fall from every direction. The night is tumultuous, leaving everyone sleepless and with dark circles under their eyes, except for one person.

"Hey pest, how could you sleep in this mess? Wake the hell up," slaps Sharia.

Lenin wakes up and promptly punches Sharia, saying, "You are too loud, loser." Observing the exhausted group, he remarks, "Hey Liya, why do you guys look like zombies?"

Liya retorts, "Why do you look like a normal human, Lenin? "
