"Wow."
Martin was utterly stunned, his eyes wide with admiration. "Then Xan, you take the lead, and we'll gather the materials!"
"No need to search, just ask the instructor for a lighter and an empty bottle."
"Got it!" Nelson raised his hand excitedly, "I'll go ask for them!"
"Miss, is all this for real?"
Rachel looked at her skeptically, while Isabella just pursed her lips, remaining silent.
Though she often disagreed with Xanthea on other matters, she had to admit that Xanthea was unbeatable academically. If she ever decided to leave the spotlight, becoming a renowned scientist wouldn't be a surprise at all.
"Of course," Xanthea said, turning to Isabella and Rachel. "And you two, don't just stand there. Go gather some dried cattail leaves."
"???" Isabella glared at her. "Why should I listen to you?"
"Don't you want water?"
Isabella and Rachel reluctantly went off to gather the cattail leaves.
"Xan, what should I do?"
Seeing everyone busy, Martin was eager to help. Xanthea glanced at the lively fish swimming in the water, "You're a good swimmer, dive in and catch some fish for dinner."
"Sure thing!"
[Wow, Xanthea is amazing, isn't she? I can barely keep up!]
[A less-known fact: Xanthea just graduated top of her class from Crestwood National University's Physics Department! She was a genius!]
[She seems to have taken over as team leader. They'd be lost without her.]
[She's not only beautiful and tough but also so intellectual. Does someone this perfect really exist?]
[I thought she'd be all high and mighty, being from such a wealthy family, but she's performing so well. She's a real role model!]
[It's strange, despite the presence of other major celebrities, they all seem dull in comparison to her.]
