It was entirely a one-sided demand from Karuizawa Megumi.

She misunderstood because of her momentary possessiveness.

Besides, her relationship with Su Wei was really just that of "teacher" and "student," senior and junior.

What right does she have, or what grounds does she have to be angry...?

As she pondered the matter more deeply, the bittersweet feeling she had barely managed to suppress began to surge up again.

Honami Ichinose quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind of these distracting thoughts.

She smiled broadly:

"No, no, actually I should be apologizing to you..."

"I'm sorry... I misunderstood you without understanding the situation. I'm so sorry that you had to come all the way here to apologize and explain such a private matter."

Karuizawa Kei was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Judging from the gloomy atmosphere Ichinose had when she left that afternoon, she thought she had run into her girlfriend who had come to catch her cheating.

Why is it that when she came to apologize, the other person started comforting her instead...?

This person's personality is just too much of a pushover!

Karuizawa Megumi was completely puzzled.

But since Ichinose has said so, and she doesn't seem to be lying, then this time bomb should be considered defused, right?

Thinking it over, Karuizawa Megumi tentatively asked:

"Now that things have been discussed, that's good. So... I'll head back now?"

Honami Ichinose nodded.

But as Karuizawa turned around, she suddenly called out to stop her:

"Um... Karuizawa-san."

"Now that the class's evaluation points can be used to open the Spirit Time Chamber as a training ground, and the test will start tomorrow afternoon."

"Then, please convey my message to the senior. I would like the students who participated in the preliminary test to gather in the Time Chamber first to practice and get used to the black ball equipment. We should also discuss the subsequent battle plan to avoid any unexpected incidents when we enter the arena."

Karuizawa Megumi readily agreed:

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Watching Karuizawa Megumi's relieved figure as she walked away.

Honami Ichinose stood still, gently rubbing her throbbing temples, and stared silently for a long time.

Now is not the time for you to be jealous.

'As long as we can keep everyone alive, that's all that matters... As for the rest, let nature take its course.'

......

The next day.

After obtaining the authority to use the class evaluation scores from the homeroom teachers of each class.

The group, including Su Wei and Ichinose, had all gathered here.

Ichinose silently counted the number of people, and seeing that everyone had arrived, she spoke first:

"The tests and formal exams will be held this afternoon. Let's make sure everyone understands this first, and then go into the Mental Time Room to practice together, so as not to waste time due to disagreements."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji nodded and turned to look around.

Apart from Su Wei, Ichinose, Sakayanagi, and Ryuen, who are the four fixed black ball examiners.

Those who were confirmed to participate in the preliminary test and the main black ball competition in the afternoon have basically all arrived.

among them:

The lineup sent by Sakayanagi's team consisted of: Kamuro Masumi, Morishita Ai, Katsuragi Kohei, Kito Hayato, and an unfamiliar extra.

The Dragon Garden Class consists of: Daichi Ishizaki, Takuya Yagami, and three random passersby who were conscripted into the class.

The Ichinose Class consists of: Amasawa Ichika, Amakura Asako, Takarazumi Kazutomi, and two random passersby.

Hirata's lineup is quite impressive: it includes Rokusuke Koenji, Yosuke Hirata, Megumi Karuizawa, the newly transferred Tsubasa Nanase, and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who volunteered for the role.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka withdrew his gaze and cut straight to the point:

"Teacher Chazhu informed us this morning that each class will send four people for this preliminary test. So let's assume that the test format is similar to the last 'King of Clubs' test."

"Regarding the high-scoring items that provide item points in the arena... I'm not forcing anyone to give in. It's all about skill, first come, first served."

"but!"

Ayanokouji's tone was slightly somber:

"Because the rules clearly stated last time that touching the highest-scoring item would directly start the formal exam ahead of schedule."

"So I hope everyone can keep their promise. We'll wait until we find the 'mysterious merchant' in the test area and everyone has exchanged their life-saving equipment before touching that item to start the main competition."

As she spoke, Ayanokouji glanced at Amasawa Ichika in the crowd.
