Book 14: Epilogue: “The Seeds of Unrest”- Intro
“What a bother…”
It was just past 7:00 AM on the seventh day of the exam, a time at which most groups would already be headed off to their first designated area. Ichinose Honami, however, simply let out a deep sigh as she stared down at the watch fastened onto her right wrist. Dark grey clouds lined the overcast skies above, threatening to drop their rain at a moment’s notice.
“Ichinose, is it really broken?”
Shibata Sō, a fellow group member, asked as he peered down at her watch.
“Yeah, seems like it. I think it happened this morning when I fell by the river and hit it on a rock.”
She had already tried everything she could think of to fix it once she noticed that it wasn’t working properly.
But despite her best efforts, she hadn’t been able to get the GPS and heart rate monitor to function at all.
Nothing showed up on the map when she tried to confirm her current position on her tablet either.
With a broken watch, she wouldn’t be able to earn points from any designated areas or Tasks.
