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

"You two seemed to have been talking for quite a while. Did Kushida want to talk to you about something?"

Karuizawa Kei frowned for a moment: "I can't really say... but I feel like she's just randomly sniffing around because she has nothing better to do."

"Is that so?" Matsushita Chiaki nodded thoughtfully. "I do have that feeling. As expected of a veteran survivor, he seems quite composed even when facing an exam that could come at any moment."

At this point, Matsushita Chiaki changed the subject:

"By the way, Xiao Hui."

"I heard that the points allocated for this main competition are quite substantial. You should have just enough points to buy the enhancement suit, right?"

"Could you find some time to put it on so I can observe it up close?" Matsushita Chiaki frankly stated her purpose. "I currently have 5 S-points from the preliminary test, plus an extra life margin."

"I want to confirm whether this enhanced suit... is worth the risk for."

Karuizawa Kei thought about it and did not refuse.

"Sure, I'll wear it and show you when we get back to the dorm."

If it were before the black ball exam.

Faced with a request that requires wearing a tight-fitting outfit, which might expose her secrets, Karuizawa Kei would definitely find a hundred excuses to avoid it.

But now...

The girl subtly touched her flat, smooth stomach through her school uniform.

That ugly scar, a symbol of humiliation and weakness, has completely disappeared.

She no longer had to worry about Matsushita noticing anything amiss or discovering her shameful past.

In truth, all of this is thanks to Suwei.

If it weren't for him, even with the enhanced suit, I'd probably be trembling in endless panic, and wouldn't be in the mood to discuss these things with Matsushita.

'Soviet...'

Karuizawa Kei silently repeated the name in her heart, her eyes hardening.

Loyal Orange! We must be loyal to Orange!

......

On Kushida Kikyo's side.

After learning about the horror of the Black Ball exam from Ichinose Honami through subtle means, I understood the true nature of the test.

Kikyo Kushida, walking along the tree-lined path back to her dormitory, couldn't help but gasp.

'That was dangerous... Luckily I didn't stick my neck out at the beginning, otherwise I would have been in grave danger!'

She patted her prominent chest, feeling a wave of fear wash over her.

Although, according to the rules, she might be treated the same as Su Wei and Ichinose, having two more lives than ordinary people.

But this is just speculation.

Blackball never gave her a formal guarantee statement, did it?

What if this is just wishful thinking on her part?

Even if it were true... she would still just be a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken!

If it were revealed that she was actually a privileged class enjoying special treatment, she could easily imagine how those jealous guys in Class D would change their attitude towards her.

That's just human nature.

There is a tendency to be critical of the victims while condoning those in power and bullies.

If people don't dare to criticize Kuroko, then surely they can criticize you, Kikyo Kushida?!

'Why do you have special privileges and not have to do anything?' 'Why don't you die for us?'—Kikyo Kushida had seen enough of this kind of moral blackmail back in junior high school.

That's why she was so determined to maintain her image; that's why she initially wished Horikita Suzune would drop out of school as soon as possible.

But now...

Horikita Suzune was clearly too preoccupied with the black ball to bother with anything else and had no interest in revealing her embarrassing middle school past.

So, Kikyo Kushida's only goal now is to live well and comfortably spend the remaining three years of her high school life.

Therefore, continuing to cultivate the "little angel" persona and clinging tightly to powerful figures like Honami Ichinose and Su Wei are absolutely essential survival strategies.

Just as Kikyo Kushida was mentally calculating,

Suddenly, a slightly playful, unfamiliar voice reached my ears:

"Excuse me, are you Kushida-senpai from Class D?"

Kikyo Kushida immediately put on a smiling face and turned to look.

What came into view was a girl with red pigtails and a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Hello, senior!"

Kushida looked at the other person with some suspicion: "I'm Kushida... Ah, you're the new transfer student in Ichinose class, right?"

Tianze Yixia seemed somewhat surprised, covering her lips with her small hand, feigning an overwhelmed expression:
