Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

Chapter 255 Crab Feast

The leader had to tally the numbers and arrange enough boats to accommodate everyone. They had to hand in the list before ten at night.

After supper, Violeta took the roster and went from door to door, canvassing each household about their interest in tomorrow’s boating venture and needing a headcount by ten o’clock for the boat arrangements.

Few were keen, while most were apathetic.

Reasons varied; some cited exhaustion from the day’s walking, craving rest, while others professed fear of the water….

The student council’s mandate was clear and set by the school.

If their group couldn’t muster enough for a boat, it spoke volumes about the leader’s rapport. That meant no one was willing to pitch in.

“Our legs are knackered from all the walking today. We haven’t an ounce of strength left for rowing.”

“Yeah, there’s no gain for us in boating. What if the boat capsizes? Accidents could happen.”

“I’m still not going. Water terrifies me.”

“I’m not going either. I just want to get some shut-eye.”

More excuses were thrown about when asked if they wanted to go.

After inquiries, only four, including Violeta and Kaylee, agreed to participate.

Clearly, this was an anomaly. It seemed certain parties were undermining Violeta, the leader.
