Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 270: Difficulty pt2

The scenario waiting for us at the meeting point was one of the exhausted students.

It seemed that even the fruits that looked good at first turned out to be poisonous after the appraisal using magic.

And even when they tried to hunt wild animals, it was another difficulty as they did not have access to good equipment.

It seemed that one of the groups had made a trap and continued to wait for their prayers to fall but ended the day without a single blow.

The other group had used judgment magic on all the plants and had almost run out of mana but still managed to gather only a small amount of food.

The other group seemed to have encountered low-level monsters and gathering food had become the least of worries as they fought desperately.

All of the group's achievements were bad and they only got a few points, making them feel even more depressed.

And without a doubt, our group has produced the best results.

"What is this ?! How is Mondo so useful ?!"

"Shut up, Billy! I was there as the group leader so it was natural!"

One of the exhausted students is jealous of Mondo's results and tries to get mad at him but is dropped by George.

Even after that, everyone was struck by the highest points of our group and kept asking questions about what activities we were doing.

The other group had no other choice but to remain silent in front of my 41 points.

Although the highest points obtained by Marsha.

It seems that Marsha's magic helped her gain some — points eventually giving her 39 points for the fish and 5 for her magic.

I don't really care about losing points, but I can't accept losing to a beginner who started fishing today.

I mean, of course, I made fishing rods for the most part later on but .. Even still, it seems there is a need to show him the awesomeness of an expert the next time around.

Well, put that aside.

George, Mondo, Aina and Marsha explain in detail about our activities today.

And after this and that, when we had reached the base, there were 15 tents finished.

It seems that they are simple tents and building them is simpler than I thought.

All of them only make about 1-3 points so you can figure out how much they actually work out of it.

"Be sure to keep items that shouldn't get wet, inside the tent!"

I heard an instructor say.

They will probably use a large tent for shared storage space.

There were also tents for meetings and ones specifically for the nobles.

Are you kidding me? That's not fair! – That's fancy enough to make me want to say that out loud.

Well, I guess it's okay. I didn't really want to sleep outside either, so it was lucky that someone had a tent.

The thought of blowing it with a sudden gust did cross my mind, but it would cause my points to diminish.

I had to think of something to make the interior of my tent better.

When I saw the well-equipped tent, the students started preparing dinner after taking a short break.

"Does our group prepare a portion of the exploration group as well?"

When I asked, Marsha replied,

"Right ... I want to but I'm not very good at cooking …"

"Eh, not too good? You are not near—"

"Do you have something you want to say, Mondo-kun?"

Mondo tries to say something there but stops after being overrun by Marsha.

Even George pretended as if he had heard nothing and was preparing a stone for the stove. It would seem wiser for me to pretend not to hear anything either.

"Aina—"

"What's ~ Satoru-kun ~?"

It's bad .

I feel like I might step on a landmine.

I could see George on the other side shaking his head so I understood that the two were incompatible.

"No, it's just that I want to ask you and Marsha to gather some branches to burn for fire, is that okay?"

"It's okay!"

"It would be easy ~ if we combine our magic, huh?"

George told them to be careful and not get out of sight.

The place is surrounded by hills but the entrance to the forest can be clearly seen.

The other groups also seemed like they were going to gather some branches so these two girls should be fine.

Normally, our roles would be opposite but since we have magic here, we don't decide anything with just physical ability.

Therefore, we did not continue on this topic and started our work.

After expelling the two girls, I started dealing with the fish.

Since there was no kitchen knife, I prepared it with a small survival knife.

I could tell that there were no parasites or toxins in the fish with my Assessment Study, but importantly, I pretended not to know and had them check again.

"Yes, it's okay! There seems to be no problem!"

Mondo told me in an excited voice.

He might be happy to be able to eat something other than rations. I have heard his stomach wail for a while now so I can tell how much he is looking forward to it.

"Well, all that's left is to bake it."

When I raised my face, I saw that the students from the other group had come to watch.

The students studying at the academy may have experienced camping but they had no survival training. Therefore, even if you give them fish or grass, they will not know how to cook it.

I guess I have no choice.
