The teacher leading this field expedition is Professor Du, a renowned researcher at Imperial City University. The fact that Crystal Landon sponsored the expedition's expenses has not been publicized, so apart from Professor Du, the other students are unaware of it. Learning that they had to take a freshman along, they were immediately displeased.
An inexperienced newcomer in the harsh outdoor environment would definitely hold everyone back, especially a female student.
Joining Du on this expedition are three students. Except for Catherine Webb, who lacks substantial outdoor experience, the other two students are seasoned veterans.
