"To be honest, I think it's partly my responsibility as the class monitor for not explaining things to you clearly beforehand that Class B lost... But don't worry, I'll definitely accumulate enough points in the end to bring everyone back!"

Looking at Ichinose's flawless, saintly demeanor...

Tianze Yixia hesitated for a moment, then raised her head, biting her lip and saying with hopeful eyes:

"Squad leader, you don't really need to shoulder everything alone..."

"I can help relieve some of your pressure! Let me go with you to the next official exam! I'm sure I can be of help!"

however.

Faced with these cannon fodder who were practically delivered to their doorstep.

Honami Ichinose shook her head without hesitation.

"No."

"Tianze, after you lost in the test, there's no room for error anymore. If anything unexpected happens in the main competition, you'll really disappear completely, and you'll lose everything."

Ichinose looked at her.

"I know you feel guilty about what happened to Kanzaki-san. But as the class representative of Class B..."

"I will do everything in my power to ensure the safety of every one of you! I will never let you take any more risks!"

After saying that, Honami Ichinose did not give Ichika Amasawa any further chance to pester her. She nodded slightly and then turned and left.

Only Tianze Yixia remained standing there, her outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.

A gentle breeze blew through the girl's red twin ponytails, and her expression became somewhat amused and exasperated.

'What's this... a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the bait instead?'

Or did I encounter my natural nemesis?

This patriarchal style of protecting everyone under her wing was utterly foolish and laughable to her, who came from a humble background.

However, it must be admitted that for those mediocre students, Ichinose's approach might actually be the most reassuring.

Of course, Amazusa Ichika will not accept Ichinose's feelings because of this.

Now that we've arrived here and are facing the threat posed by the Black Sphere, which exists outside our usual range, it's like rowing against the current—if we don't move forward, we'll fall behind.

Staying in the safe zone means you'll never encounter the truth of this world.

Moreover, based on what she knew before she came, the outside world was far from peaceful.

Cannibals, parasites, and even those giant silicon-based mechanical life forms... if these things really broke out in the real world, Tokyo would have long since become a living hell.

Perhaps the reason society can maintain a facade of stability and prosperity... is because of the Black Sphere's intervention, which forcibly confined these monsters to this arena called Advanced Training.

To be honest, Tianze Yixia suddenly realized that she actually quite liked the style of the black ball.

Amidst the brutal elimination process, there's also a hidden tenderness that protects the world... It's truly remarkable.

She turned to look at the ordinary students on the playground who were still struggling with the black ball exam.

'Foolish fools who don't know how lucky they are...'

'You have no idea how much those unsuspecting citizens outside envy the privilege of being a 'player' under the rules of the Black Ball.'

Volume 1: Chapter 79 I'll show you what I'm wearing when I get back to the dorm

Even after the crowd on the playground had mostly dispersed as night fell, Su Wei and Horikita Suzune still hadn't returned to inquire about the next steps of the test subjects, including Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

This made Kikyo Kushida, who had been waiting in the same spot, start to have some doubts.

What exactly happened between these two people?

As the self-proclaimed "head and matchmaker of the Horikita Suzune and Suwei CP," Kushida Kikyo is truly at her wit's end.

Given Horikita Suzune's personality, the fact that she showed that kind of expression when she left was such an explosive contrast that anyone would be curious about what exactly happened between the two of them in private.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Karuizawa Megumi, who had been following Su Wei and was now preparing to meet up with Matsushita Chiaki.

Kikyo Kushida wisely abandoned the idea of ​​trying to get information out of him.

She had only exchanged two simple words with Karuizawa before getting a cold shoulder, clearly indicating that she didn't want to say anything more.

Trying to use this as a breakthrough? That's basically a dead end.

'Fine, since this won't work, I'll just have to go find the one who's easiest to talk to.'

Kikyo Kushida inwardly grimaced.

Don't underestimate my intelligence network!

Who do you think I am? A little angel who commands everyone!

After making up a random excuse to maintain her image as someone who cares about her classmates in front of Hirata Yosuke, Matsushita Chiaki, and others, Kushida Kikyo waved and turned to walk towards Ichinose Honami.

Even if she couldn't help Ichinose and Suwei in terms of actual force, as their initial companion, she went to offer comfort and emotional support, which is something that can't be criticized.

This is her capital for survival in advanced education!

Watching Kikyo Kushida's slightly hurried back, Chiaki Matsushita withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Megumi Karuizawa beside her.
