She had just sworn allegiance to this man last night, offering herself as the leader to unify the girls in Class D as a bargaining chip for his protection.

Given the tense atmosphere between the boys and girls in the class at the time, if she, as one of the leading figures among the girls, had chosen to back down, she would have essentially given up any chance to gain control over the girls' discourse.

The lesser of two evils.

More than the unknown monsters, she feared losing Suwei, her only protector.

So she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take on the challenge.

Karuizawa Kei was pondering this in her heart when Su Wei said that, and she was at a loss for how to respond.

Suddenly, Maya Sato leaned over from the side and broke the silence in a low voice:

"Xiaohui, Ichinose from Class B just came over and said she has something urgent to discuss with Suwei. How about... I go and refuse her for you?"

Karuizawa Kei didn't speak, but silently looked at Su Wei.

Su Wei paused, straightened up, and said:

"It's getting late, you probably want to talk about the exam later tonight. We need to get down to business."

Watching Suvina's departing figure, talking to himself and showing no reluctance.

In the past, Maya Sato would have definitely scoffed and complained, "Why are you putting on such a cool act?"

But after learning about the other party's actual situation inside the black ball, and after indirectly learning about the other party's terrifying record from Kikyo Kushida, Maya Sato's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she looked at Su Wei's back.

It's not because the other party has muscles or brute strength.

Rather, it is an indescribable aura, a sense of composure that transcends the physical body and is enough to intimidate the mind.

Maya Sato reached out and gently pinched the lower back of Megumi Karuizawa, who was watching intently, and teased her:

"Hey, Xiaohui, tell me the truth, do you like him?"

"Why else would you have gotten so close just now? You must have been worried about him!"

"And right now you're acting like you're protecting him, afraid someone will take him away from you!"

Karuizawa Megumi blinked.

Normally, she would definitely deny it.

But at this moment, looking at Maya Sato's gossipy face, she suddenly puffed out her chest and admitted without hesitation:

"That's right, I like him. What, you have a problem with that?"

"Do you need any grand reason to like someone?"

Sato Maya wasn't angry; she just clicked her tongue in amazement at Karuizawa's possessive behavior towards his food.

"Hmph... You usually seem quite arrogant, but you're pretty quick to strike."

......

the other side.

"Ichinose".

Su Wei greeted Ichinose Honami, who was leaning against the corridor wall, staring intently at her phone screen.

Honami Ichinose looked up.

Perhaps because of the current grim situation, her voice lacked the softness she had when they were on the rooftop at noon, and instead carried a more capable tone:

"Senior, classes A, B, and C have already secured their spots for tonight's official exam. Has your class confirmed?"

Su Wei nodded and looked at Horikita Rinne, who was still in her seat, typing on her phone and seemingly asking her older brother Horikita Aya a question.

"Yes, it's Horikita."

Ichinose visibly breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good that it's Horikita-kun; it saves us the time of re-explaining the rules."

"However, the official Black Ball exam is about to begin. I want to take this time to let everyone discuss the tactical arrangements so as not to waste time when we enter the arena."

Upon hearing this, Su Wei looked at her with some surprise:

"No matter who it is, after these past few days of turmoil, they should all understand the importance of protecting their classmates. You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Ichinose nodded in agreement: "I believe that, but we still need to discuss the division of labor beforehand..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

A short, startled cry suddenly rang out in Class D classroom.

"Hey—Xiao Hui!"

Ichinose looked in the direction of the sound.

Following the trembling finger of Maya Sato, she discovered that Karuizawa Megumi, who was standing in the front row of the classroom, was being covered by a layer of dark blue data beams starting from her ankles!

Not just Karuizawa.

Ichinose turned around and was surprised to find that both he and Su Wei had the same teleportation-specific light effect appearing on their bodies simultaneously.

"How could it be so fast?!" Ichinose frowned. "It's only been less than twenty minutes since four o'clock!"
