A crossover anime, where people are in Classroom of the Imaginary Era, and behind the scenes, the ki

In front of RING Cafe at Beech Tree Shopping Center.

Honami Ichinose stared blankly at the message on her phone screen.

"Huh? A transfer student?"

Asako Amakura exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the email sent by Chie Hoshinomiya on Ichinose's phone.

"Transferring here at a time like this?"

NetWarehouse Mako came to her senses and recalled what had happened before:

"Could it be that... when Hashimoto Masayoshi was peering into our classroom earlier, he was actually checking? He wanted to see which class the transfer student would be assigned to?"

"But how would he know such inside information? Does Class A have some special privileges, or have they already started communicating with the school's higher-ups...?"

Honami Ichinose put away her phone and subconsciously tightened the heavy bag in her hand.

She shook her head and said:

"I heard from the upperclassmen that the privileges of Class A only become apparent after graduation... They must have used their points to buy inside information from the teachers."

"senior?"

Netkura Mako caught the key phrase: "Is it the student vice president you mentioned before, the one who led Class B to successfully turn their class into Class A?"

"Ah."

Ichinose nodded slightly.

"I obtained a lot of information from Senior Nagumo Masayuki."

"However, regarding the Black Ball exam... their situation seems different from ours."

Ichinose paused, his expression turning serious under Ayakura Asako's questioning gaze.

"Our first-year high school selection process consisted of four fixed members: myself, Su Wei, Long Yuan, and Ban Liu, plus one randomly selected member from each class."

"However, the second and third years of high school involve a cross-grade mix, with one student selected from each class..."

Netware Mako was surprised: "So, it seems we're special?"

"Or rather... a newbie protection period?"

Ichinose touched the handbag, her fingertips feeling the metallic ring representing the enhanced suit through the fabric, which calmed her anxiety slightly.

"I'm not entirely sure which situation is normal."

"But whether it's us or the senior students, we're all in complete disarray in the face of this sudden exam."

"That's why I accepted Kushida's invitation. Even if it's just among classmates, bringing everyone together is better than each of us fighting our own battles. At least... it can reduce a lot of unnecessary sacrifices."

After pondering for a moment, Asako Amakura looked at Ichinose's determined profile and smiled:

"Ichinose, just do what you think is right. I will always support you."

She then raised her gaze and looked ahead:

"It seems someone has already arrived."

Ichinose turned her head to look.

In the afternoon sunlight, Shiina Hiyori was quietly reading a book, while Sakayanagi Arisu was leaning on a cane, talking to Kamuro Masumi, who looked reluctant.

Meanwhile, Su Wei and Kikyo Kushida were walking side by side from the other side.

"Let's go over there too."

Ichinose composed herself and prepared to go forward to greet him.

Just as Su Wei and Kikyo Kushida's figures came into clear view...

A sudden change occurred.

The once bustling streets suddenly became eerily quiet.

Ichinose subconsciously looked around.

The pedestrians and students who were walking and playing on the street were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It wasn't the kind of departure where people scattered like birds and beasts.

Instead, it existed one second, then vanished into thin air the next, like an old television screen with a poor signal, flickering twice.

The whole world seemed to have been suddenly deleted.

Honami Ichinose realized something was wrong and abruptly turned her head:

"Pockmarked guy, grab me now—!"

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Ichinose?!"

The terrified voice of Amakura Mako reached my ears:

"What are you saying? Your hand... how did you disappear?!"

"Is the Black Ball exam about to start again? But I haven't received any notification!"
