Third Stage, Day 4, Midday.
Comas are exhausted when the sun is shining and just above the head. But Koma did not feel the hot sun. He was protected from the harsh rays of the sun under the cover of trees and natural niches that became his paradise.
Koma felt the soft grass under his body and the salt-smelling breeze coming from the direction of the sea, making his sweat can quickly dry up but leaving a slight sticky feeling in his white skin.
He was exhausted, but really enjoyed all this training. Because Koma knows, without sacrifice success will never come.

“Stay a moment again right Gaju?” tian asked as he gave a piece of venison that had been roasted and salted by Tian.
Aju was hunting the wild deer and they were using the animal for their lunch at this time. The four of them actually have ready-to-eat food in their respective backpacks, but they decide to use it for desperate conditions, conditions where hunting and getting food sources from nature are no longer possible.
The four of them sat in a circle near a small fireplace under the shade of trees and cliffs that were not too high from the Mountain addressed by this group.
“We are already at his feet, I think, we just climb a little,” replied Gaju.
“No need to get to the top right?” asked Adel who was holding two skewers of venison with both hands.
Tian just sneered towards Adel and ate his flesh slowly.
“Ngapain see the whole thing?” adel protests at the sight of Tian's sneer.
“That barbaric girl anyway? Eat two hands. There are no feminim-feminimnya,” Tian said with a laugh.
“Eh, Flat Chest, high protein is good for body growth. If you eat little and sok jaim kek that, when will grow up to the chest?” adel said which made Tian instantly speechless.
Gaju and Aju pretended not to listen and were engrossed in enjoying the food in their hands.

A teenage boy is seen running at moderate speed on the outskirts of the Forest. He did not want to go too deep into the Forest but still needed protection from the Forest to make it easy to move and avoid danger.
Gama still wears his full body armor, although it makes his body feel heavier and requires more stamina to use it, but without his body armor, this is his body, Gama knew that he had no chance of living in the Forest.
Gama is not like the Gaju team who intend to go to the Mountain and set up their base camp there, far from the Complex and the reach of Team Koga.
Gama is also not like Koma who lives alone in his little paradise on the east side of the Island, without anyone's knowledge.
Gama decided to walk along the edge of the Forest and set up his base camp on one edge of the Forest which is on the west side of the Island, opposite to the Koma in the east, or Gaju and his group in the North.
There was nothing special in the west of the Island that Gama was aiming for, but he had already decided that this place was the most suitable place for him as a first stopover.
Gama never decided to stay in one place. For him, always moving is the safest option. And the west direction was the safest direction he would go now.

“Bigger!! Tia, you Mature Sawo Girl!!” songnam grumbled while walking on the sidelines of the trees that were not too shady.
Just as Koga chose a partner only from Asian women, Songnam was the same, she did not like to hang out with Candidates who were slightly different in skin color. Therefore, yesterday afternoon during the division of the Team and he had to choose its members, there were only two people who managed to become its members.
Sako, aka the Empty One, a woman of Japanese descent, and Duma, Dua Lima, with genetic traits from South Asia.
But, this morning, a tidbit made Songnam smile brightly, Tien joined Team Koga. Without a second thought Songnam took Tien to the Explorer Team and now the four of them moved around in the Forest carefully.
Why was Songnam so happy when Tien joined all of a sudden?
Because Tien is no ordinary Candidate. He had a resemblance and physical character similar to Tian, the Idol. Moreover, inversely with Tian who was a Strategist, Tien was more talented with his physique. Tien had a PA score of 2.7, the same as Gasa and Tutu who were elected leaders of Attack and Defense Team.
Tien could have easily asked Koga to give him a good position within Team Koga, perhaps even better than himself, since Tien had a facial resemblance to Tian, who was not quite the same, and Songnam knows that her lover has a pent-up obsession for Tian.
Songnam doesn't know if Koga's feelings are an obsession or something else. But he was convinced that Koga had a tremendous interest in Tian.
Before Tien realized his advantages and his chances of getting a good position in Team Koga, Songnam pretended to extend her hand and pull Tien into his Team.
Tien who still feels unfamiliar with Team Koga, of course, received a helping hand from Songnam, now the four of them, Explorer Team from Team Koga is doing his job together.

"Professor?" ask a Manager to the Professor in the control room of the Management Complex.
"Broadcast now," said the short professor.
"Okay Professor" replied the Manager and immediately carried out the order.

Beep beep beep.
The sound of alarms was heard from all the mini computers present in the bodies of each Candidate.
After the Elimination Examination, because there were no more rules from the Island, the Candidates who might feel the freedom to express many modified their mini computers.
Some make it as a necklace, belt, chest emblem, room door blocker, footwear, and even make their mini computer as a keychain.
When the sound of simultaneous alarms rang from their respective mini computers, all of them who were too extreme modifying their mini computers shouted in shock and immediately took them off.
Gaju and his team, Koga, Gama, Koma and some Candidates who have intelligence above other Candidates know that objects as sophisticated as that will not be possible useless. They keep it carefully.
"Good day to the Candidates."
"The island no longer gives rules, but the Island will still provide encouragement for Candidates."
"First of all, mini computers are as important to Candidates as they are to your lives."
"The second, starting in the Third Stage, the Island will introduce a points system."
