'As expected... it really comes down to choosing the right person to follow!'

Before the still-shaken Kamuro and Karuizawa could even express their gratitude...

Held in Ichinose's arms, still slightly out of breath, Sakayanagi Arisu had already made the first move.

"Haa... Hoo..."

The girl was breathing intermittently, her resentful eyes fixed on Su Wei:

"Hey Su Wei... why are you holding and embracing those two... while I'm just being tossed into the air like a shot put?!"

"I'm a patient, after all, it's not like I haven't contributed anything... Can't you show me a little respect?"

While gently patting Sakayanagi's back to help her catch her breath, Ichinose Honami quickly explained on Su Wei's behalf:

"I'm sorry, Sakayanagi-san. By the time Senpai arrived, the lighthouse had already collapsed. Under those circumstances, the only way he could save everyone at once was... well, the most efficient method."

Ichinose lowered her head with a hint of self-reproach:

"If I have to blame someone, it's only because I haven't been training enough and haven't fully adapted to the pace of the enhanced suit. I arrived too late..."

"Alright, stop taking the blame on yourself."

Su Wei waved his hand, casually interrupting the conversation:

"Anyway, the black sphere will restore our physical condition after the mission, so let's not cause trouble. What I'm more concerned about now is... since you've dealt with that scorpion, why isn't the exam over yet?"

Upon hearing this, Masumi Kamuro, disregarding her disheveled clothes, quickly raised the Y-GUN in her hand.

"There's still one who escaped! We don't know when he got away, but he's currently... in the direction of Katsuragi and the others?"

Su Wei glanced at the radar and understood.

That's Barricade's partner, the miniature spy robot—Confusion.

Although its direct combat power is the lowest among the Decepticons, it is still fatal to a few ordinary high school students without power suits.

"Katsura may have the X-GUN, but their opponent is, after all, the Decepticons..."

Su Wei made a quick decision and looked at Ichinose:

"Ichinose, let's go over there to help! Otherwise, things might get complicated and something unexpected might happen."

Ichinose nodded emphatically, entrusting the weakened Sakayanagi Arisu to Kamuro Masumi:

"Sakayanagi-san, you guys find a safe place to hide first. Let's go, senpai!"

Watching the two figures quickly disappear into the night, Sakayanagi Arisu looked down at her numb legs and shook her head self-deprecatingly.

'If nothing unexpected happens this time, I should be able to accumulate enough points to regain my health...'

Next time, I won't tolerate being tossed around like a burden.

The girl made a silent vow in her heart.

“That… Sakayanagi.”

Kamuro Masumi suddenly gripped the capture gun tightly, her voice slightly strained:

"I didn't notice... there seems to be a girl over there, approaching us."

Sakayanagi Arisu looked up upon hearing this.

As the dim glow of the setting sun lingered, she saw a red-haired girl with blood-soaked bandages wrapped around her arm walking towards them.

"Tianze Yixia, huh...?"

Sakayanagi Arisu narrowed her eyes slightly.

......

Meanwhile, deep within the container maze.

After successfully reuniting with Ayanokoji's B and D teams, Katsuragi Kohei's attention never left the X-GUN's radar screen.

As the red dots representing threats above went out one by one, the tense crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... It seems the main force's battle is going smoothly."

Ryuji Kanzaki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I hope the casualties this time will be minimal. The Black Ball Exams are becoming increasingly overpowered. If we lose those veterans with combat experience at this stage, it will be a disaster for everyone."

"Now is not the time to relax."

Katsuragi Kohei remained alert and reminded them in a deep voice:

"Don't worry about things beyond our capabilities. The fact that all of us intruders have survived until now is the biggest help we can give to Ichinose and Ryuen, as long as we keep hiding and don't get killed or lose those fatal class points."

Ryuji Kanzaki nodded in deep agreement.

After all, a surviving intruder represents 1 S point. In this black sphere space where life is as fragile as paper, their very existence is the most cost-effective resource.

"Katsura-kun."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji suddenly spoke, pointing to the X-GUN in Katsuragi's hand:

"There's a red dot moving this way."

Katsuragi Kohei immediately confirmed the radar readings:
