"What if these simultaneous notification sounds are an urgent notification from the school?"

Karuizawa Kei sighed and replied casually:

"It shouldn't be that serious... We just finished our exams on the deserted island not long ago. Even if the school sends us a message now, it probably won't be anything major; they're probably just preparing to give out points as a bonus..."

Although she said that, she still obediently took out her phone to check, worried that it might be an instruction from Su Wei.

Then, when she saw the information on the screen, her voice softened.

This is indeed an official message from the school, and it is indeed a benefit program.

However, the details of these benefits are hardly something to be happy about.

The email read as follows:

[Given that the regular preliminary tests and special examinations were not conducted this week in preparation for the large-scale joint examination on the 'uninhabited island,' it has been decided that they will be held this Saturday and Sunday to make up for them.]

[Simultaneously, as a reward for students successfully passing the first phase of the large-scale trial, the school, in consultation with the GANTZ system, will relax the entry requirements for training grounds for all students.]

Starting today, all students can apply to their respective homeroom teachers for temporary access to their "Class Evaluation Score." This score can be exchanged for 10 points of class evaluation points equaling 1 minute of real-world time, allowing entry into the "Mental Time Chamber" for cultivation.

[Note 1: The Spirit Time Chamber serves as a training ground for the GANTZ system. Students can use the basic equipment (such as X-guns, Y-guns, and battle knives) provided free of charge for special exams without restriction for simulated practice; they can also use their personal equipment purchased from the GANTZ shop and the mysterious merchant from the 'Heavenly Guild'.]

[Note 2: Entering the Time Chamber as a team will incur additional charges per person. However, during your training in the Time Chamber, you will experience slower aging, reduced pain, and will not feel hunger or fatigue. Any injuries sustained will also heal rapidly.]

[Note 3: If you die in a simulated battle in the Time Chamber, you will be forcibly disengaged, but this will not be counted towards the system's death count.]

[This permission is GANTZ's incentive for all survivors. For your own safety and to protect your world, please continue your efforts.]

Read the above information carefully.

Karuizawa Kei swallowed hard.

"Saturday, Sunday... which means we have to face the black ball exam again tomorrow?!"

Honami Ichinose's expression was equally solemn:

"Judging from the current practice, that's probably true. Saturday is our first-year exam day, and Sunday is for the upperclassmen."

“Even…” Ichinose bit her lip and added an even worse guess, “If GANTZ is ruthless, we might have to wait until next Monday to prepare for the next round of preliminary tests and the Black Ball exam.”

Karuizawa Kei pursed her lips, her pretty little face scrunched up.

Although I have already confirmed that I will be participating in the upcoming preliminary test.

But... the spots were only confirmed this afternoon, and they're being dragged into the exam hall tomorrow?!

There was absolutely no psychological buffer period, that's terrifying!

Seeing that Karuizawa Megumi's expression was not good, Ichinose Honami took the initiative to step forward and gently comforted her:

"It's alright, Karuizawa-kun."

"Now everyone has experience in dealing with exams, and you have the enhanced suit as a trump card. Even if something unexpected happens during the test, I believe you should have no major problem ensuring your safety."

"On the contrary, I'm more worried about Baoquan and the other newbies who don't have the enhanced gear... I'd better go and try to persuade them again."

Honami Ichinose turned around, then suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Then she remembered that Karuizawa Megumi had specifically asked Amakura Asako to meet her because she had something private to discuss.

She then turned her head and looked at Karuizawa again, asking:

"By the way, Karuizawa-san. Why did you call me out so urgently? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Karuizawa Kei snapped out of her daze.

She took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself:

"Actually, I came to tell you... about what happened this afternoon when I hugged Su Wei..."

"Ichinose, actually, things between him and me haven't reached the point you're imagining yet."

The girl's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke:

"It's just because Su Wei said that when he was advising Horikita, he mentioned that if you want to practice Ripple Qigong better, you must first learn to accept your true self. I... I am actually very weak, not as strong as I usually appear."

"I was just so scared, so I wanted to find some sense of security in him, I just... simply wanted to hug him..."

Karuizawa Kei looked up and hurriedly added:

"Actually, we haven't confirmed any definite relationship yet!"

"If you don't like it, I'll be more careful next time..."

Honami Ichinose quietly watched the girl in front of her who had made up her mind, even at the cost of reopening her wounds, and couldn't help but blame herself in her heart.

After a long while, she sighed softly.

In fact, Ichinose knew the most fundamental relationship between Karuizawa Kei and Su Wei.

After all, when Karuizawa Kei first went to the rooftop to find Su Wei and "show her loyalty," she was only one door away, so she naturally heard everything clearly.

Therefore, after leaving the stadium in the afternoon, when reason regained control of my mind and I recalled that such a thing had happened.

Ichinose then roughly understood the situation at the time.

Su Wei had his hands hanging at his sides at the time and did not make any overstepping movements, did he?
