"To figure out its intentions, we may have to actively enter the Mirror World to find it."

"Actively enter the mirror world..."

Shiina Hiyori paused, then asked with some confusion:

"But we can't physically use the card box to transform while we're at school."

"How about... we go to the Spirit Time Chamber now, and then use the passage to enter the Mirror World to see what the Phoenix is ​​trying to express?"

Suwei did not reject the girl's suggestion:

"You can give it a try."

"But since it didn't appear during our previous exams, why did it have to happen now..."

"I'm afraid even if we meet it in the Time Chamber, we won't be able to solve any problems immediately."

"The most urgent task right now is to deal with Horikita and Karuizawa."

After saying that, Su Wei withdrew his hand from the glass and turned to walk towards the direction where they had originally agreed to meet temporarily.

Seeing this, Shiina Hiyori quickly followed with small, quick steps:

"Are we going to find Ichinose and the others?"

Su Wei glanced back at her and said matter-of-factly:

"Yes. Even if we can't contact the Black Sphere God to find out what's going on, we still have to go check on everyone."

"No matter what, they were teammates who fought tooth and nail together in the exam hall..."

Shiina Hiyori made a soft murmur with her pink lips, then said nothing more, simply following quietly beside him.

......

When the two arrived at the gymnasium, which had previously served as a temporary meeting point for the first-year high school students, the huge venue was deserted.

The last rays of the setting sun cast long, slanted shadows on the floor, and in the center of the venue, only Honami Ichinose remained, all alone.

She was pacing back and forth with her head down, clearly anxious.

"Knock, knock."

Su Wei gently knocked on the open door beside him.

Seeing Ichinose suddenly raise her head after being startled, Su Wei asked with some confusion:

"...Are you the only one here, Ichinose?"

After all, considering Ichinose Honami's popularity in Class B and even the entire grade.

Even if her special status as a "qualified person" creates a sense of distance among ordinary students who don't know how to comfort her, Shiraha Chihiro, who just went through the exam with him, should absolutely not be left alone here.

When Ichinose Honami saw that it was Su Wei and Shiina Hiyori, her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

She shook her head and explained softly:

"We can stay here and wait for Amakura and Horikita to return; we won't need too many people guarding this place."

"I saw that everyone was exhausted, so I forced them to go back to the dormitory to rest first."

"And what about you?" Su Wei asked, looking at the undisguised weariness in her eyes. "Don't you feel tired?"

Ichinose pursed her lips, avoiding Su Wei's gaze, and forced a gentle smile:

"I'm fine..."

“If I really can’t take it anymore, I’ll call Bai Bo to come and take over for me. I made that arrangement with her beforehand.”

Su Wei nodded, not exposing her bravado.

It's obvious that the scene was Chihiro Shiranami desperately wanting to stay with her, but Ichinose refused.

But in a sense, this is a good thing for Chihiro Shirami.

Being able to be included in Ichinose's plan as an "alternative" is much better than being a bystander throughout the whole process, isn't it?

Thinking it over, Su Wei led Shiina Hiyori to a bench not far from Ichinose and sat down.

Then, he waved to Ichinose, who was still standing in the center of the field.

Seeing this, Ichinose sighed helplessly:

"Senior... and Shiina-kun too. You should go back and rest as well."

“I’ve been in the ‘back room’ all day, I must be under a lot of mental stress! You don’t need to waste your time here with me.”

Despite saying that, Ichinose still honestly walked over to the bench.

Under Su Wei's watchful gaze, he obediently sat down in the empty seat next to him.

Upon seeing this, Su Wei shook his head and chuckled softly:

"We all went to take the exam together, so Ichinose, weren't you under pressure too?"

"It's no big deal for us to come and keep you company."

"Besides... you can only feel at ease if you see the result with your own eyes. Otherwise, if Horikita and Karuizawa come back alive and find that you are the only one waiting here, that would not be a heartwarming thing."
