Once Emma and the rest of their group had finished gathering their required number, they headed back to Madame Atena and presented the mushrooms.
"Did any of you start growing them by yourself?" Madame Atena raised her brow.
"Huh? No, we found them all." Alana shook her head. "We haven't yet learned how to grow plants ourselves."
"The rest are still back there collecting the mushrooms, Professor." Stell added.
"Wait, we could grow them if we wanted to?" Samu blinked and then slapped his face. "That would have been way easier than just looking around."
"Well, the purpose of this activity is to help us understand the natural habitat and growth of said mushrooms," Emma said. "That would be counterintuitive if we did that."
"Miss Lee is correct about the purpose of the activity." Madame Atena Wiss nodded, but still found it surprising.
