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

"GANTZ, is there a problem?"

It wasn't until Ichinose walked up to the chaotic wreckage and checked again and again that there was no red dot on Katsuragi Kohei's X-GUN radar, and realized that the monster was definitely dead, that she finally couldn't help but look up and ask.

As she asked the question.

"Om-"

A huge holographic countdown clock suddenly appeared directly above everyone's field of vision.

【06: 35】

【06: 34】

【...】

"What does this mean?" Honami Ichinose frowned.

"Isn't it obvious, class monitor?"

Accompanied by footsteps, Amasawa Ichika and Sakayanagi Arisu, who was being supported by Kamuro Masumi, walked out from the side passage.

The red-haired girl tilted her head, looking at the countdown in the air, and pointedly remarked, "This is the countdown for the 'preliminary test.' Strictly speaking, the 'King of Clubs' game among us intruders isn't over yet."

Honami Ichinose frowned even more deeply.

Seeing this, Ryuji Kanzaki stepped forward and briefly explained the rules of the "King of Clubs" game.

After hearing the rules, Ichinose's mouth opened slightly, and it took her a while to find her voice:

"The loser loses a life? Doesn't that mean..."

“Hmm.” Ryuji Kanzaki nodded. “And it seems that every class has a member who only has one life left.”

"I'm afraid this is an adjustment that Black Ball made specifically to prevent us from ending the game peacefully through a trade, just like last time."

To survive, you have to climb over the corpses of students from other classes.

Sakayanagi Arisu thought for a moment and then said:

"This lousy game is as morbidly funny as ever. But I'm quite curious how the scores will be calculated after the test under such extreme rules."

Kamuro Masumi reached out and quietly pinched Sakayanagi's waist, whispering a reminder: "I'm saying... now is definitely not the time to make sarcastic remarks!"

Sakayanagi Arisu slapped Kamuro's hand away in annoyance, then turned her gaze to Suwei and Ichinose.

"Let's get down to business."

Sakayanagi Arisu's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a lot of information:

“As qualified individuals, we are inherently superior to you intruders.”

"Now that all the monsters are dead, the black sphere is allowing us to remain in this space... Does that mean it's allowing us to interfere with your match?"

She paused:

"In other words, the outcome of this match now hinges entirely on the decision of Suwei and Ichinose?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention immediately focused on the two of them.

Indeed, during this brief vacuum period free from the threat of monsters, it would be incredibly easy for the two people in their enhanced suits to forcibly boost their class's scores or prevent other classes from accessing the base.

"no no!"

Honami Ichinose took a half-step back, stung by the heavy gaze, and waved her hands repeatedly, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand, I don't think things have gotten to that point..."

Su Wei, however, was much more realistic than her.

"What are your scores now?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

Su Wei looked up.

In mid-air, the real-time total points rankings of the four classes appeared out of nowhere.

Class B: 124000 points

[Class D: 122000 points]

[Class A: 120000 points]

Class C: 120000 points

The difference is minuscule, almost negligible.

Faced with this cruel rule that would inevitably lead to the loss of at least three students' precious lives, Honami Ichinose's face darkened, and for a moment she couldn't utter a single word.

If she intervenes to help Class B retain first place, it would be tantamount to pushing the other classes into the abyss; if she does nothing, and they are overtaken, Ryuji Kanzaki will face punishment.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Su Wei reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Ichinose, do you know about the 'train puzzle'?"

Ichinose stared at him blankly, not understanding what was going on.

"The so-called train dilemma is only absolved of responsibility when you are not involved."

"Once you actively get involved and pull that lever, no matter who you choose to kill, you must bear the responsibility for the murder."
