"This is hot."
"Why is it so hot?"
"I'm going to get sunburn."
"I need help."
"I feel so sick."
The students were having a hard time settling on the ship.
Some of them were puking because of the salty sea breeze and the swaying motion of the ship.
They were also complaining about the intense heat since this place was greatly different from other places they had gone. In fact, this might be the farthest place they ever visited.
Whether they were nobles or commoners, all of them were experiencing the same thing.
Selena had expected something like this because Nathan had 'read' a book about it. She was even enjoying the sea on the deck with Nathan.
Of course, Nathan wouldn't reject her invitation. This was also the first time he rode a boat. It was probably because there was no engine that the boat crossed the ocean at a much slower speed than he expected. Nevertheless, he was in much better shape compared to the rest.
"Are we ever going to a fight on this kind of battlefield? If you fall to the sea, won't it be dangerous?" Selena asked.
"Probably. Maybe it will be better to summon a familiar that can handle the water in the future." Nathan nodded in agreement.
"That's true. I wonder if there is a vampire who lives underwater."
"En." Nathan gave little thought. He couldn't come up with a single name for vampire living underwater. In fact, if she wanted someone from underwater, it would be better to get someone else.
Nathan thought, 'Poseidon is not a merman, right? Since he looks exactly like a human, it means we can't summon him. How about his wife? She is known as one of the fifty nereids, if I recall correctly. She is also known as the Goddess of the Sea.
'And there's Triton, the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, who should be a merman. I won't be able to summon them, but Selena might be able to do it. Or is Selena planning to collect vampire-like familiars? But Sasha is not necessarily a vampire...'
Jason turned to the students. "The teachers here will be assisting me, so do your best at this event. Before we begin, you may ask any questions related to the event."
"Teacher. I have a question." Rudeus was the first one to raise his hand.
"Go ahead."
"Are we allowed to do anything on this island?"
"You are not allowed to kill fellow classmates or inflict long-lasting injuries. Aside from that, you are allowed to do anything."
"What if they end up getting injured... for example, from falling rocks? In a mountain, it won't be weird to see a cliff falling or something along the lines."
"In that case, you are just using the terrain. As I mentioned earlier, the teachers will be watching over the students. If that happens, we'll usually take over."
"Understood." Rudeus smiled. He was satisfied with the answer.
"Any other question?" Jason asked.
This time, it was Nathan who raised his hand, which immediately piqued everyone's interest.
As expected, they were aiming for him.
Nathan asked a rather similar question to Rudeus. "Are we really allowed to do anything, including using the terrain?"
"Yes. You're allowed to do that." Jason frowned, thinking Nathan should have asked a better question.
"We won't get any repercussions no matter what we do to the island?" Nathan reworded it.
Jason nodded. "Yes. You can do that. If you are going to ask a similar question, then yes. You're allowed."
"Alright." Nathan nodded.
Little did Jason know, he just gave Nathan permission to do the craziest thing beyond his imagination.
