Wilderness Survival; Thursday, Second Period [03/10].

"Hope the Danger Shop hasn't spoiled you guys too much," Gladio greeted his class as he met them outside the school, where they'd been instructed to gather today, "because we're making a long-awaited return to the preserve for this week's lesson, but, before we do that, I've got some information to share with you all today. Last week, we learned how to forage for plants, to..." He grinned, "mixed results, and today, we're doing the fauna side of things and we'll be tracking some wildlife. Nice thing about this island is that the wildlife seems to be relatively harmless....here's to hoping you guys don't prove me wrong on that today, and I spent last weekend doing my own research on what we might find out there, how to find them, and how to keep a look out for them. Now, the majority of critters you're going to find out there will probably be your squirrels, of course, those little porg guys closer to the shores, but not always, your alots, your gremlins, your teal deer..."

And, oh look, there seemed to be a few of those teal deer edging around where they were standing as Gladio launched into his very handwavily specific findings about them all from his avoid-being-killed-by-his-caffeine-deprived-roommate excursion into the woods last weekend.

"Of course," he finally concluded, when that was all wrapped up, "this isn't exactly an exhaustive study. This is just one man's experience over a small amount of time. But I'd like you call to keep that in mind as we set out today, and I want you to try and track these animals, using the details and methods I definitely mentioned. You can work together, you can work alone, but when you hear my signal, start heading back to the old campgrounds as our base and we'll talk about what you were able to discover and find. And that's where we're going to be starting out as a base, so...let's get heading over there and we can get started, and if you have any questions, you can ask them along the way."

Yes, okay, technically Jules could blatantly cheat and just use her gift to draw out any nearby wildlife, but that seemed to go against the spirit of the exercise, so she didn’t.

Plus, it wasn’t like naturalists- even exceptionally talented ones- ever relied only on their gifts when hunting. Tracking was a useful skill.

So she traipsed along, noting signs of several different varieties of Fandom wildlife, until she came to a clearing and saw…

A large creature that looked as if it were composed of several other creatures smushed together.

Yep, that’s right. Someone managed to find an alot of wildlife.
