Su Wei looked directly into her eyes: "Do you know what happened to those who didn't lose to their opponents but were judged as failures due to the lack of a fault-tolerance mechanism after today's preliminary test?"

Horikita Suzune shook her head, her face pale.

“A red laser beam descended from the sky.” Su Wei pointed to his forehead, “piercing through their foreheads. They’re dead beyond any doubt.”

"So, given your current predicament where you could die at any moment, you'd better stay obediently in the rear."

"Whether it's for your brother or for everyone else."

Horikita Suzune pressed her pale lips tightly together.

It felt as if two forces were violently tearing me apart inside.

But in the end, the obsession with following in his brother's footsteps prevailed.

"...The top three in the midterm exams will receive a revival opportunity as a reward of black balls."

She stared at Su Wei, forcing herself not to cry, and said defiantly, "I will get it! As long as I get it, I will have the right to continue!"

Why are you so persistent?

Su Wei had a bit of a headache: "Can't you tell that your brother is actually showing concern for you and protecting you in a roundabout way?"

Horikita Suzune's shoulders were taut, as if she would never bow her head even if she held on until the very end.

"Because... I want to help my brother."

The girl's voice was choked with emotion, yet incredibly firm:

"If I do nothing, what will happen when he faces a life-or-death crisis with the black ball, when he needs me... Do you expect me to hide in the school and stand by, waiting to hear of his death?!"

"I absolutely cannot accept that kind of thing! Absolutely not!"

Su Wei rubbed his temples in exasperation.

"Is that why... I really don't know how to comfort you."

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject:

"Hmm, how about this?"

"Horikita, you have an enhanced suit now, right? Then put it on."

Su Wei looked at her:

"Whether it's hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship, or marksmanship, if you can defeat me in any one of them, I'll take back what I just said and stop trying to stop you. How about it?"

Horikita Suzune suddenly looked up, her indomitable spirit returning to her.

"Fine, let's compete!" she declared, her long neck stiff. "I won't lose!"

Su Wei looked at his Heart Steel panel, which he had stacked nearly six hundred times, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Then let's find a place to compete?"

Horikita Suzune readily agreed: "I'll go back to the dorm to get my enhancement suit first. You wait for me here."

"I also need to go back and get... same way."

......

at this time.

Kikyo Kushida, who was distracted by what was happening here, noticed that Suzune Horikita had a gloomy expression and looked like she was about to fight someone. She quietly walked up to Megumi Karuizawa and probed:

"Xiao Hui, did Su Wei have some kind of conflict with Horikita during the exam?"

Karuizawa glanced at her and shook her head expressionlessly:

"I do not know."

As a qualified parasite, she always knew how to be discreet about her host's private affairs and countermeasures.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

He wouldn't utter a single word about things he shouldn't say.

This is her way of ninja!

......

Half an hour later.

A small, enclosed training room next to the gymnasium.

The spacious room contained only Su Wei and Horikita Suzune, who had changed into a pure black enhanced suit.

"what!"

With a sharp shout, Horikita Suzune unleashed her right leg, using the terrifying force generated by the enhanced suit to deliver a powerful high kick straight at Su Wei's side of the neck!

However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Although Horikita has an excellent B+ grade in physical education at school, and in the original work she can even briefly grapple with Ibuki Mio, she has not systematically studied professional martial arts or fighting techniques.

Even with the enhancement suit boosting physical attributes tenfold...

In Su Wei's eyes, this seemingly swift attack was nothing more than a recitation of a script.
