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

"By the way, senior... why do I feel that your swordsmanship is getting faster and faster? And... each strike is stronger than the last!"

Su Wei remained unfazed.

He glanced at the system equipment bar, which only he could see, and saw that there were already about two hundred layers of Heart Steel stacked up.

Yes, health points are steadily increasing.

Su Wei coughed lightly and said meaningfully:

"This is the wonderful use of meditation."

"When one is extremely focused, one can enter a state of flow where one is completely absorbed. In this state, you can keenly perceive everything around you, fully develop your physical potential, and thus more easily discover the enemy's weaknesses."

Su Wei said in a serious tone:

“Like the ‘Nine-Headed Dragon Flash’ I just used, it’s essentially a rapid slash in nine directions. I used this move on you before, but you were able to easily block it then. This time, however, you couldn’t dodge it. This is a direct manifestation of the difference in skill level.”

Having been fooled by Su Wei, Ichinose tilted her head slightly, listening in a daze.

Is that so?

You're not kidding me, are you?

But... she did sense the change in the force of Su Wei's strike on her!

At first, it felt like a tickle, requiring only a little attention; later, it became painful, requiring all one's strength to block it.

All of this changed in just one or two hours!

'Is the human body really that amazing?'

'I have a feeling... this is all just numbers, and you were just letting me win?'

Seeing Ichinose's blank stare, Su Wei couldn't help but chuckle.

"Perhaps due to a lack of aptitude, not everyone can grasp it immediately. But the so-called flow state does exist."

He looked up at the sunset on the rooftop, his gaze distant.

"For me, the opportunity to grasp this level came from last summer's Koshien tournament..."

"Um...senior."

Upon hearing this, Honami Ichinose finally couldn't help but interrupt:

"I heard from Kushida that you're a transfer student from China who came to Japan this year..."

"I remember, Koshien is supposed to be a Japanese high school baseball tournament..."

"..."

Su Wei remained unfazed: "Don't worry about the details."

"It's so distracting, it's hard not to notice, senpai!" Ichinose couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, you figured it out."

Su Wei sighed helplessly, "Anyway, just practice more after you go down. When you meditate, just recall the mindset you had when you killed Goto with one punch during the previous exam."

Honami Ichinose's relaxed smile faded slightly.

But before the grievances and heartache in her heart could resurface, Su Wei had already changed the subject at the opportune moment:

Let's stop practicing here for today.

"We don't know what format the preliminary test and the formal exam will take tomorrow, so you should save your energy."

Ichinose snapped out of her daze, carefully concealing the desolation in her eyes, and simply nodded slightly, her movements so gentle they seemed like a compromise.

"Speaking of tomorrow's exam..."

She hesitated for a moment: "I was originally planning to gather the class points and go to Ms. Hoshinomiya to buy some information. But I was told that even she wasn't entirely sure, and that it was all the school's higher-ups' decision..."

Su Wei was not surprised by this.

After all, in the original school, you could use shopping points to buy information from teachers and upperclassmen because these points were equivalent to Japanese yen and had real purchasing power within the school.

But let's not even talk about why those teachers know the inside information about the black ball.

In terms of value alone, this amount is completely incomparable to the intelligence from the Black Ball.

Honami Ichinose sighed.

"Right now... I just hope the test won't go too far..."

"okay."

Su Wei stretched, casually tossed the wooden sword into the corner, and turned to wave.

"Some things, you just need to do your best."

"The result may not be as perfect as we expect, but as long as you do your best, no one will criticize you."

He turned his head and glanced at her: "If you really keep carrying all the pressure on your own like you are now... it will only crush you in the end."

"I'm leaving now. If you still want to practice, stay here for a while. Just pretend I was joking earlier, don't feel guilty."

Accompanied by the sound of the iron gate being pulled open and then closed.
