So, just as Su Wei was about to step out of the classroom through the back door, Matsushita Chiaki bumped Karuizawa's shoulder quite naturally.

"Hui, you look really unwell. If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. We're here for you."

Upon hearing this, Karuizawa Megumi felt as if she had been granted a pardon.

Under the concerned gazes of Shinohara Satsuki and Kushida Kikyo, she hesitated before nodding.

"I... I do feel a little dizzy... I'll take my leave now. Chiaki, Satsuki, you can take your time later."

As she spoke, she picked up her handbag and hurried toward the front door.

After confirming that Matsushita Chiaki and the others could not see her, Karuizawa Megumi immediately turned around, gritted her teeth, and with her weak legs, almost ran towards the stairs where Su Wei had left.

She wasn't sure if what she was doing was right or wrong, nor was she sure if the other person would even acknowledge her.

But her fear of death had already driven her to take action.

'We must...we must find him! Even if it costs us, we must gain his protection!'

however.

Her hurried and highly purposeful actions happened to fall into the eyes of Tianze Yixia, who was preparing to come to Class D for inspection.

Watching the blonde bombshell's anxious back, Tianze Yixia's lips curled into a slight smile.

'If I remember correctly, this guy is quite popular among the girls in Class D?'

'Why are you in such a hurry...? Are you looking for someone?'

She deliberately quickened her pace, and at the corner of the corridor, she happened to block Karuizawa Megumi's only path.

"Senior, you look very anxious."

Tianze Yixia put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and revealed a sweet smile:

"Are you looking for someone? Maybe... I can offer you a little help~"

Suddenly blocked from her path, Karuizawa Megumi had no choice but to stop.

Because she had something on her mind, she frowned and looked warily at the unfamiliar girl with red hair in pigtails in front of her.

"No need, thank you. Also, you don't need to call me senior, I'm only a first-year high school student."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Tianze Yixia blinked, her smile widening rather than diminishing:

"But I'm a transfer student who skipped a grade, so I'm naturally a year younger than you. According to the rules, I should naturally call you senior."

"Skipping a grade? Transferring schools?" Karuizawa Kei was taken aback, and her vigilance eased slightly.

"Yes."

Tianze Yixia sighed helplessly and continued acting:

"I thought my brain was still pretty sharp and I was sure I could keep up with the courses here, so I came straight here when I received the school's invitation."

At this point, she seemingly unintentionally turned on her phone screen, her face furrowing in distress:

"But it seems this school isn't as glamorous as it appears. These kinds of life-threatening exams... they're terrifying."

"When I saw this message, I wanted to find out more about what was going on from Ichinose, the class representative, but she disappeared as soon as get out of class ended."

"That's right!"

Tianze Yixia seemed to suddenly remember something, and lowered her voice to say:

“I heard from my classmates that Ichinose-senpai went to practice swordsmanship with a boy named Suwei.”

"Senior, do you know which class Su Wei is in?"

Upon hearing Su Wei's name, Karuizawa Kei eyed Amazu Ichika warily.

She pursed her lips and answered truthfully, "He's in our D class, but I don't know where he is now."

"I see..."

Tianze Yixia pointed her index finger at her chin, her gaze drifting upwards intentionally or unintentionally:

"When I came here, I heard people say that they were going to practice in a less crowded place like the rooftop."

"Senior, do you think I can find them if I go to the rooftop? Even though there aren't many students at the Advanced Education Center, this teaching building is huge, like a maze!"

"The rooftop..."

Karuizawa Kei instantly made up her mind.

She immediately straightened her expression, forcibly concealing the urgency in her eyes, and replied coldly:

How would I know if you can find it? Why don't you go up and take a look for yourself?

After saying that, she ignored Tianze Yixia and walked past her downstairs.

Watching Karuizawa Kei's hurried departure as if grasping at a straw.

Tianze Yixia remained stationary.
