It's another month of theory, but with some actual practice application this time. A good half of it is survival information, how to keep warm, how to start fires, what plants are dangerous, how to make a rudimentary shelter, how to pack a bag properly. You aren't really sure how much of it the class is going to retain, it lacks the high drama of ninja jumping around spitting fireballs out of their mouths, but it's probably far more useful. You've been camping before so you know some of it, but this assumes a near total lack of the gear you're used to. Granted they likely expect that when they get around to it they'll have proper equipment but it's better to build on fundamentals. Truth be told all your prior experience with this will likely buy you is how to power through pain and discomfort, which still has worth at least.
There's some very basic tactics covered which you're fairly certain isn't actually for the purpose of teaching manoeuvres to your class, but just to get them used to the idea of planning and analysis. They do actually cover some weapon skills this month as well, including throwing of kunai. In this a good half of the class have you easily beaten, evidently having had some experience with this beforehand. They aren't doing much more than covering basics here either, they certainly don't expect you to master knife throwing overnight. Mostly it's covering the correct way to hold and throw kunai, so they don't spin wildly out of control and so you don't risk getting cut on your own weapon from a bad block.

You've tried to be somewhat more sociable. You aren't being a budding social manipulator but you've eased up on the whole 'Aloof inscrutable enigma' thing you sort of had going. At least the rest of the class seems to be a bit more at ease with you, for the most part. They're not exactly inviting you to parties but it's hard to be weirded out by the kid who seems at ease who'll happily lend you a pen and throws the occasional casual comment into the ongoing conversations. There are fifteen of you in the class, yourself included, and you think they're all clan kids barring yourself and maybe two others. You've picked out a few as being from particularly notable clans; Akiyama, Yamaguchi, and Wakahisa, the Akiyama kid being the most social of them. The kid who seems to be creeped out by you, if not quite as much as before, is a Tsukino, who seem fairly respectable. There's also a pair of Mizushima brothers, two Koziumi kids, those two seem to be from different families. Lastly there's a Hisakawa, a Fukui, a Oshiro, a Tachibana, a Mori and a Moto. You don't in honestly know much of anything about the clans in Cloud, but you admittedly haven't really been in a position to find out much.
