[i]Resistant?[/i] Masato shrugged Maeda's hand off, though he turned to look at the other boy and consider his words. So all of the monsters had some kind of magic going on, even if it was just a barrier or hard skin or whatever. That sucked, but at least he knew now. And maybe they could make more effective spearheads with some teeth and claws? As for whatever conspiracy theory Maeda was about to bring up... [color=B1E4FC]"A gun has to pack way more of a punch than a spear, maybe they can just break through the resistance with force."[/color]

He accompanied Maeda, Stewart, and Nakagawa back towards the group. There was still a lot to think about, including the new information he'd just learned, but in regards to the class' next move he was adamant about continuing on from here. Thankfully Nakagawa had done his best to get the others prepared to keep going. The basketball club's captain was a lot more charismatic than the student council president - yet they still ultimately looked toward the latter for leadsership. 

Masato opened his mouth to speak, only to be cut off by the impatient ace of said basketball team. 

[color=B1E4FC]"No,"[/color] he said, exasperated. [color=B1E4FC]"The stream we found was barely anything. We need cleaner water, so we'll have to follow it for a while before we can think about stopping."[/color] And if they were going to keep moving, they might as well not stop at all until they found a safe... or, well. [i]safer[/i] place. If they took any more breaks, they might not be able to get some of the students with less stamina moving again. [color=B1E4FC]"After that we can think about sending a scout to look around."[/color]

Masato couldn't argue the fact that some of their group were slowing the others down, but the decision on whether to leave them or not was much harder than it had been last night. He'd thought about it already, but for one Bansen and Endo were not leaving a bloody trail behind them. Yet. Bansen's lungs must have started filling with blood based on his coughing. He had no idea what was wrong with Endo. They were liabilities, but not an immediate danger to the class like he'd deemed Okumura to be. For now, they could afford to take the injured with them. If there came a time when they couldn't... then they'd have to leave them behind for the good of the group as a whole.

He took a quick, steadying breath. [color=B1E4FC]"Quicker we go, the quicker we'll be able to rest, okay? So let's get going. If anyone needs help speak up."[/color]
