Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 296: Choice and Sunbathing
"This is the first time I see you being so negative. Sakayanagi unexpectedly has a vulnerable side."

Ryuuen didn't want Sakayanagi to be immersed in pessimism all the time. Horikita on the side rolled her eyes. Ryuuen didn't comfort Sakayanagi at this time, but laughed at her. Even Ayanokouji, who was not good at dealing with human relationships, knew that he should comfort Sakayanagi at this time.

But Sakayanagi, who truly understood Ryuuen, naturally knew that this was Ryuuen's way of comforting others. He seldom comforted others directly, and this roundabout way was also one of his lovable qualities in Sakayanagi's eyes.

Sakayanagi stood up, her body bathed in the sunlight. Her skin was so white that it seemed transparent in the sunlight, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

Sakayanagi: "Where are we now?"

Ryuen: "As you can see, on the sea."

Kiriyama: “This is not nonsense.”

The people around looked at Kiriyama. In everyone's eyes, Kiriyama had always been a very introverted person. His temper was not that bad before. What's more, Nanyun was still on the boat, so it was really strange for him to behave like this.

Without responding to Kiriyama verbally, Nanyun pulled Kiriyama's shoulder, asked him to step back, and stood in the middle of the crowd.

"The current situation requires a leader to decide what to do next. Does anyone have any objections to me being the leader?"

Although everyone on this ship is talented from various classes, based on seniority, Nan Yun is still the first choice to lead this group of people.

Ryuen naturally had no objection. If he were to be the leader, it would be difficult to deal with Kiriyama and Nanyun himself, and the situation between Horikita and Ryuen would also be awkward. It would be best to let Nanyun be the leader, so that he could take the blame if something really went wrong.

There were no dissenting voices, which was considered as tacit approval of the result.

"Since everyone has no objection, let me tell you about our next plan. The rescue team is nowhere in sight, and the water and food on the ship may not be enough to last until they arrive. I want to find an island at sea, like the one where we took the uninhabited island test. This way, at least we can solve the food problem, and we can also avoid the crisis caused by another rain at sea."

Horikita held out her hand. "I think it's best to stay where we are. Waiting quietly is the best option. We can't see the island at all now, and we can't determine the direction. Instead of wasting time and energy, it's better to wait where we are, which can also reduce the difficulty of the rescue team's search and rescue."

What Horikita said made sense, but this conservative approach would mean a slow death for the people on the boat if the rescue team did not show up in time.

Ryuuen looked at Horikita in surprise. It seemed that the fire had a significant impact on her. She actually grew up. If it were the radical Horikita before, she would never choose such a conservative approach.

Nanyun and Horikita each had their own reasons for their methods, and in the end they could only vote by raising their hands.

Ichinose and Kiriyama agree with Horikita's approach, while Ayanokouji and Sakayanagi agree with Nagumo's approach.

Unconsciously, these people had split into different camps. Kiriyama did not support Nanyun, and it seemed that his rebellious heart was obvious. Ayanokouji did not support Horikita at this time, which made Horikita frown and was very unhappy.

The final decision fell into Ryuuen's hands. Ryuuen turned his head and said to Sakayanagi, "Your little hands are really fast. I was just a little slow in voting, and in the end you threw this difficult problem to me."

"You were distracted just now. Besides, the result of the vote has nothing to do with speed. The result is predetermined. We already had the answer in our minds from the beginning."

Sakayanagi replied with a smile. Her fever had not completely subsided yet, and there was a circle of pink on her cheeks. She looked very cute, but also very fragile, just like a drunk Daiyu.

"The result will not change, but you didn't mention a word about pressure." Long Yuan shook his head helplessly. If after Long Yuan made his choice, everyone embarked on a path of no return, then Long Yuan could not escape the blame.

"Choose."

Nanyun has lost his patience. His authority has been challenged again and again, first by Horikita and then by Kiriyama. His student union is no longer the student union that Nanyun could control with one hand.

Nan Yun was also a little nervous. His relationship with Ryuuen was definitely not a good one. After all the friction they had experienced before, it was a low probability event whether Ryuuen would support him. However, with Ryuuen's unpredictable personality, it could not be completely denied that he would not support him. After all, in a sense, Ryuuen and he were of the same kind, so it was possible that they would choose the same option.

Horikita also stared at Ryuuen, as if she wanted to swallow him alive, but there was a hint of pleading and sympathy in her eyes, which made Ryuuen unable to guess what she was thinking.

Ryuen shrugged, not looking at Horikita's expression: "Then I will support Ayanokouji. Since you, Ayanokouji, chose President Nanyun's plan, you must have a solution."

Ryuen smiled and dragged Ayanokouji into the water. Ayanokouji had shown his compass to Ryuen before.

The biggest drawback of Chairman Nanyun's plan is that it is not certain that an island can be found. As long as an island can be found, Horikita's plan will definitely not be chosen.

And Ayanokouji must have a way to find the island, otherwise he would not support Nanyun. Now no one wants to risk their life by trial and error.

Ayanokouji scratched his head, which was curled by the fire, and took out a compass from his tattered pocket: "After the rain stopped last night, I changed the direction of the ship. Now we are heading to the uninhabited island where we will take the test. We just don't know the distance, so we can't tell when we will arrive."

Ayanokouji's words shocked everyone. The compass changed the direction of travel to an uninhabited island.

Every word Ayanokouji said made people gasp. First of all, it was very difficult to determine the direction in the vast ocean. It was not enough to just know that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Ayanokouji said it very clearly. The current direction was the direction of the uninhabited island test. In other words, Ayanokouji had at least a map of the ocean area in his mind!
Without any coordinates, and despite heavy rain and storms, Ayanokouji did not lose his way.

What's even more terrifying is that he changed the direction of the ship himself, which means that he had his own ideas, and they were not negotiable. When he took this action, he did not explain it to anyone, let alone let anyone find out.

In other words, Ayanokouji is now in a very dangerous situation. As long as he wants, he can kill everyone on the ship without anyone noticing.

Ayanokouji doesn't have this idea now, but if there is a problem with food and water resources, it is completely unknown whether Ayanokouji will take dangerous actions for survival.

On the sea, Ryuuen's ability was limited by half. If Ayanokouji really wanted to harm someone, Ryuuen could only guarantee the safety of himself and Sakayanagi at best. As for other people, he really couldn't help.

If Ichinose knew what Ryuuen was thinking, she would probably hide away and cry. Ever since she got on board, her presence has been very low. After all, in the current situation, her personality and way of dealing with people are not suitable for showing too much presence, and she cannot bring out her greatest ability.

Ryuuen didn't say anything, and neither did the people around him, but one could sense that everyone's attitude towards Ayanokouji had changed significantly. The sense of distance had increased, and there was even a sense of wariness. However, Ayanokouji himself didn't feel anything, as he was never liked in the first place.

The atmosphere was a little strange, so Ryuuen lay down and started to bask in the sun: "It's quite fun to sunbathe at this time, and it can also make the clothes a little dry."

Except for Sakayanagi, everyone's clothes were wet because no one had changed them. Moreover, due to the differences between men and women, it was not suitable to take them off and dry them.

So everyone started to bask in the sun. Ichinose, who had been unknown before, became the focus at this time. Although no one spoke, her proud figure could hardly fail to attract other people's attention.
