Her surprise was sincere as she looked over her shoulder and saw three students near the steps of the administration building, red-faced and appearing out of breath. Tori furrowed her brows. “Is something wrong?” The last time she spoke to Headmaster Laurent had been when they returned to campus from the excursion and he asked about the down vest as her group mates still wore theirs. She had told him that she and Henrik had plans to go into business and would let him know when they were ready to start…-

The fatigue of the last few days hit them hard. The back end of the wagon was open and with their sleeping bags laid out, all five of her group mates were sprawled out, sleeping in the middle of the afternoon. Ewan’s legs were hanging off the back of the wagon as, in the shaded area right in front of them, Tori had dug another Dakota fire hole and was making coffee. Mr. Henninger set up some wooden stools around the fire hole before going to lay down on the driver's bench to get some sleep before they…

Despite what she hoped, the group of students following them did not disperse. They lingered awkwardly, even sitting and trying to appear nonchalant, until Tori and her group put their things away and got up. Sonia let out a disgusted grunt as they started walking, only to be followed. To make it worse, the further they walked, the more the other students began to complain loud enough for Tori and her group to hear. “We’re going too far!” “This is such a waste of time. We should just cross…

The worst-case scenario was that one of her group mates got hurt or worse. The second worst case scenario was the one in front of her. Why did they keep appearing in front of her when she wanted nothing to do with them? What sort of bullshit forced conflict was this? Ignoring the NPC that filled out their groups, five out of the seven A dozen teenagers appeared from the forest, appearing cold, hungry, and obviously tired. They hadn’t set up their camps yet, let alone selected a spot to set up at,…

An amiable smile appeared on her face as she gave Alessa a small nod of acknowledgement. Alessa reached her side with Dimitri, both in high spirits. They seemed to be heading their group as immediately behind them were the rest of the love interests. The NPC filling their groups were bunched together a few steps back. There were two other girls and then four boys, all of whom seemed forgettable at first glance. The girls of the group all had satchels around their bodies; likely their usual book bags from…

“Lady Guevera, I heard that your group is looking for a map?” Tori looked up from her desk, where she was re-organizing her notes, and met the smiling face of the protagonist, who was stopping her from her studies. The tents and sleeping bags were done earlier than expected, so the last few days before the weekend prior to their excursion, she made her group go to her aunt’s house to practice setting up their campsite. Practice made familiarity and familiarity made the process easier. However,…

Daybreak Garden was the name of the marketplace filled with various craftsmen and workers that catered to adventurers, hunters, and mercenaries in the twelfth district that her brother took her to on their first full day in Horizon. It was almost an hour-long horse ride from Lycée to the twelfth district. Axton also made them stop to pick up some bread stuffed with jam to eat on the way. “Going to Daybreak Garden is a good idea,” Axton said. “Not only in itself, but the surrounding area has…

This was not what she wanted. The entire situation she was in: possibly dead and transmigrated into a dating sim, was not what she wanted, but being in charge of a group project was even She did not want to relive high school Yet, there she was.

“You were so fast! I’ve never seen anyone strike that fast. I couldn’t even see what you were doing!” Ilyana was a half-step in front of her, bringing her arm down in a slashing motion as Tori chuckled behind her. “The whole courtyard was watching you beat those two! It was so gratifying!” Tori had to admit, it felt nice to have a fangirl in her corner cheering her on when everyone else was booing her. To thank Ilyana for holding her things and rooting for her during her match, she was…

After Alessa’s introduction, everyone else became a faceless mob character. Tori could hear them speaking, but nothing registered. Not their names. Not their faces. Not whatever random interests and hobbies they mentioned. She was the last person to stand and introduce herself, and if Ilyana didn’t give her a nudge, she would’ve forgotten to do so. Tori’s chair scraped against the floor as she pushed it back and rose to her feet. There were curious looks her way with more than just a few sneers,…
