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

In contrast, the Banyan Class and the Ryuen Class...

Although the school urgently filled the vacancies caused by injuries and deaths after the midterm exams by sending a batch of transfer students.

However, selecting trustworthy and promising newcomers from among these unknown individuals for permanent spots in the Black Ball main tournament and preliminary tests will require time for screening and adjustment.

This means that they are currently unable to comfortably dedicate their core combat forces to off-the-job special training like Hirata and his team.

Nevertheless, after receiving the news, Katsuragi Kohei and Ryuen Sho expressed their gratitude to Hirata for sharing this information.

As for the Ichinose crew, Hirata Yosuke and the others tacitly left them alone and entrusted the task entirely to Su Wei.

then......

"Bang! Bang!"

Inside the empty training hall, the dull sound of wooden swords clashing echoed continuously.

"Senpai, isn't Horikita-kun coming today?"

During the intense exchange of blows, Ichinose Ho took advantage of a brief respite to ask Su Wei a question.

"boom!"

Su Wei seized upon this fleeting opening.

With a flick of his wrist, he casually swung the wooden sword, cutting into Ichinose's defensive blind spot and knocking him to the ground once again.

Looking at the pink-haired girl who had fallen to the floor, Su Wei sheathed his wooden sword and casually replied:

"She's probably still in a phase of internal conflict and struggle right now."

"Because she did nothing during the exam on the deserted island... she stubbornly attributed the death of her brother, and even the loss of one of my lives, entirely to her own incompetence."

Honami Ichinose used her hands to support herself on the wooden floor as she stood up, gently patting the dust off her sweatpants.

Hearing this, a shadow of sadness crossed her eyes, and she murmured softly:

"Is this the same feeling I had when I watched Shirabo disappear...?"

She gripped the wooden sword in her hand tightly, unable to resist defending Horikita:

"However, I think Horikita has actually worked hard enough."

Before this, everyone was just an ordinary high school student living in a peaceful era.

"Yet she mustered the courage to take exams for your class multiple times, and even exchanged the S points she earned with her life for item illustrations that would be useful to everyone..."

Ichinose sighed, "What more can we ask of her?"

Suwei re-established his fighting stance, signaling Ichinose to continue the attack.

As a new round of wooden sword clashes began, Su Wei parried while patiently explaining:

"Because her goals are very ambitious."

"Therefore, she naturally has high expectations for herself."

"From the public's perspective, she did a great job; but in her own view, if she failed to save the people she wanted to save, it was a sign of incompetence."

Su Wei used his wrist to forcefully repel Ichinose's fierce attack: "Actually, I don't think this is entirely a bad thing for her. After all, pressure is what motivates people to climb higher. The potential that people unleash in dire straits is often the most astonishing."

Ichinose Honami gritted her teeth and swung her sword, clashing with Suvi's wooden sword.

"Bang—Crack!"

Perhaps due to dampness, or perhaps due to enduring too many high-intensity impacts, the two training wooden swords broke in an instant!

Looking at the half-piece of wood lying on the ground.

Ichinose bent down to pick up the broken sword, sighing helplessly:

"But... being forced to move forward under pressure is really not a pleasant feeling."

“Senior, although this is a private matter for your class, but... why don't you go and show some concern for Horikita?”

"Girls are most prone to getting stuck on things at times like this."

Watching Ichinose carefully sweep up the debris on the ground, Suwei nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

I took it out and saw that it was an unread message on Line, sent by Nanase Tsubasa.

The gist of the message was asking if he was free, as they wanted to ask him some specific details about the black ball exam.

He subtly inquired about Horikita Suzune's whereabouts during the exam.

Su Wei ignored her and turned off the screen.

He turned to look at Ichinose:

"Actually, Horikita's current state is very similar to yours in the past."

"It's just that you're already learning to adapt and grow, while she's only just starting out and is going through a painful period."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose stopped what she was doing and looked at Su Wei:

"Senior... I had no choice."
