You know what? When Gladio got back on the island for his class that morning and saw that the weather was going to be pretty rainy, he felt that was a good opportunity to take advantage of the gifts nature had given them and do a nice little hiking trip again. Had they already done a class about being in the wilderness in the rain? Of course they had. But why not take advantage of the actual rain to cement in those skills and do an all-important review?

So they were meeting outside the school again, and Gladio was handing out ponchos, one of which he was already wearing and ready to go.

Besides, he may still be trying to put off that lesson on fishing for a little bit longer.

"Thing about this class," Gladio said, "is we've got this nice preserve and it's a shame to let it go to waste on a beautiful day like this, so let's get moving and hiking out to our usual spot, which I'm hoping you guys probably know the way to with your eyes clothes by now, and we'll go over camping in the rain again for old time's sake and with a little more focus on something more than just a shelter. So let's roll out!"
