"We will meet at the scientist in 30 minutes before the assignment ends," said Dae. Everyone agreed and went in their respective directions.

Seong and Yun-Hee kept walking until they found a banana tree. However, the tree was too tall for them to reach with their height. Seong proposed an idea, "How about I give you a height boost on my back? I think we could get the leaves if we do."

"Let's find a different way," Yun-Hee said hesitantly, not completely comfortable with the idea of getting on the boy's back.

After 10 minutes of trying various methods, Seong said, "I don't know if there is any other way."

"Ok, we shall try your idea, but if you look back, I will kill you," Yun-Hee said, her tone carrying a sense of warning.

Seong replied, "Ok, ok, I won't look back on my life." He then bent down, and Yun-Hee put one leg at a time across his shoulders, lifting herself. Seong stood up, next to the tree, while Yun-Hee skillfully took the leaves off the tree.

"You can bend down now; I got the leaves," Yun-Hee said. Seong bent down, and Yun-Hee gracefully got off him. Seong remarked, "See, it wasn't so bad."

"Yeah, you're lucky you didn't look back or you would not be alive," Yun-Hee said in a cold tone.

Seong responded, "We got two hours left before we get to the scientist, so let's continue walking."

"Okay," Yun-Hee said. Both of them proceeded to walk until they encountered unfamiliar faces who interrupted them and asked, "Which group are you part of?"

"What does it matter to you?" Yun-Hee gave a straightforward reply.

A boy from the unfamiliar group stepped forward and said, "You should learn some manners."

"And you should learn to mind your own business; the assignment never said we have to be nice to people," Seong responded before Yun-Hee could.

The boy said, "And the assignment said that we couldn't use violence."

"So, what, are you going to beat us up?" said Seong.

The boy responded, "If you keep responding like that, maybe."

"I dare you to," Yun-Hee said.

One of the boys started to come forward but then stopped when they heard, "Hey boys, go try to solve the assignment instead of trying to beat up people."

Seong wondered who it was and turned to see Amelie. The boys turned away and said, "You're lucky she's here." This made Seong wonder why they were scared of Amelie, but he didn't feel like asking her. Instead, he said, "Thank you, Amelie, for helping us."

"That's what classmates are for," Amelie said and left.

Seong turned to Yun-Hee and asked, "Weren't you scared?"

"Why would I be scared? Violence is prohibited in the academy, and if they do it, it will lead to expulsion," said Yun-Hee.

Seong replied, "But still, you were going to get beat up."

"Weren't you going to save me?" Yun-Hee said with a cheeky smile on her face.

Seong saw a new side of Yun-Hee he had never seen before and thought to himself, 'Is this Yun-Hee's cute side?'

They proceeded to walk until they found a passionflower. However, the plant was surrounded by prickly plants.

Seong questioned, "How are we ever going to get that flower?"

Yun-Hee confidently responded, "We're going through it."

Seong retorted, "There is no 'we' in this idea. I'm not getting stabbed a hundred times for that flower."

"Have you got a better idea then?" Yun-Hee asked.

Seong smirked, "Actually, I do. We'll use those leaves from that tree to make gloves. That way, those spikes won't pierce us. Then, we'll thrust ourselves over the bushes with the gloves on."

"That's actually a smart idea, let's do it."

Seong gathered the leaves and sticks, while Yun-Hee skillfully used the materials to craft gloves. She ingeniously utilized her hair clips to maintain the shape and structure of the gloves.

Seong remarked, "We make a good team."

"Yeah," replied Yun-Hee.

After they crafted a pair of gloves, Seong donned them and confidently approached the bush. He upthrust himself over the bushes, reached the passionflower, and skillfully upthrust himself back.

Seong said, "I got the flower."

"Good job," Yun-Hee acknowledged, and then added, "Let's go to the scientist." Seong agreed, "Yeah."

Both of them headed to where the scientist was, hoping to obtain the last material to complete the cure. When they arrived, Jin and Ara had already reached there.

"What did you get?" asked Yun-Hee.

Jin replied, "We got the leaves but couldn't get the other two, what about you?"

"We got the leaves too and the passionflower," answered Yun-Hee.

Ara spoke, "So the rest is on Do-Yun and Dae if they find the acai palms or not."

"Yeah," Yun-Hee said.

5 minutes later, they heard sounds coming in their direction. Initially, Yun-Hee and Seong thought it was the Mr. William group, but to their relief, it turned out to be Do-Yun and Dae.

"Oh, both of you gave me a fright for a second," said Ara.

Yun-Hee wasted no time and asked, "What did you get?"

"We only got acai palms, sadly," answered Dae."

Seong responded, "That's perfect; we got everything else."

Do-Yun chimed in, "Really, we got all the ingredients that great."

Then, they approached the scientist.

"Oh, it's you from the first day," said the pharmaceutical scientist.

Jin replied, "Yeah, I told you I was coming on the third day."

"Yeah, you did, so where are your materials?" the pharmaceutical scientist asked. Jin took out the banana leaves, Do-Yun presented the acai palms, and Yun-Hee handed over the passionflower as they gave the materials to the scientist.

The scientist smiled at them and said, "Use this on the robot."

Dae took the injection, and they started heading toward the robot.

After reaching the robot, Dae lifted the robot's arm and inserted the injection through the hole. The robot's face lit up, and a loading bar appeared, reaching fifty percent before stopping.

"For a second, I thought we had done it," Jin remarked.

Dae added, "Yeah, me too."

"What I've understood is that we are closest to solving the assignment in section 3. If not, that scientist wouldn't have smiled. So, I say we've made good progress for today," said Seong.

Yun-Hee agreed, "I agree with Seong; we just got to find a second location, and we got this assignment done."

"Should we tell the others about the discovery, so it improves our chances?" Do-Yun asked.

Dae replied, "I say we should. This isn't just between us six; there are still another 24, so I think we should tell them."

Everyone agreed, and they headed back toward the exit of the section. When they made it, Dae announced that she had something to share, and everyone gathered to hear her.

After everyone came back, Dae addressed the group, saying, "Today, my group and I tried to make a cure, and it failed, but it was fifty percent. We discovered how to make a cure with the help of clues in the hut. We all got the location, and I hope all the groups do some research and make a cure relating to the symptoms in the hut so it will improve our chances." All the groups expressed their commitment to looking into it and implementing it into their cures in the future.

Ara commented, "I think that went well."

"Me too," Seong replied.

Ara then asked, "What are you going to do for the rest of the day?"

"I am going to research a bit about poisons and how to make cures for them. I believe we can make the cure without finding the second location," said Seong.

Ara wished him good luck, saying, "Okay, good luck with your research," and she left for her dorm. Seong followed suit.
