Horikita Suzune also felt the sudden drop in temperature around her.

She stood up, brushed the dust off her legs, and said in a cold tone:

"So, I've become an intruder...?"

Upon seeing that it was Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo grasped at Horikita's hand as if it were a lifeline, her voice trembling as she pleaded:

"Horikita-kun! I don't have a power-up suit, so for the upcoming exams... I'm counting on you..."

Horikita Suzune didn't shake her off, but continued her analysis:

"The reason why I was randomly selected as an intruder is probably because no one used that privilege before the exam started."

Kikyo Kushida nodded repeatedly, looking obedient and as if to say, "You're absolutely right, you're the best person for me."

Suddenly, she felt a vibration from the black ball watch on her wrist.

Kushida subconsciously let go and looked down:

"Horikita-kun, your black ball watch seems to be lighting up too?"

Horikita Suzune raised her hand to look at the email notification on the screen.

She pointed with her finger.

Immediately, a blue light screen appeared out of thin air in front of me.

[Horikita Suzune, congratulations on being selected as the 'Mysterious Merchant' for this exam.]

[As a mysterious merchant: You enjoy immunity from death within the examination hall. However, each time you are resurrected after suffering a fatal blow, you will pay the price of permanently losing one item from the shelf.]

[In addition, you can receive 10% of the sales revenue as item points as a reward.]

Here is a list of the items you need to sell this time:

[Crimson Blade, Senzu Bean, T-Virus Extract, Random Blind Box Cards, Black Keys, Devil Fruits.]

Seeing this, Kikyo Kushida hurriedly checked the information on her wristwatch.

【Kikyo Kushida, congratulations on becoming the 'enhancement staff' assisting the mysterious merchant in this exam.】

[As a staff member: You have three 'custom cards' in your backpack. Your role is to act as a medium to help the top three students in the midterm special exam to customize their exclusive equipment.]

As a reward, you will also enjoy exam exemption. However, each time you die and revive, you will lose one custom card as a price.

After reading it, Kikyo Kushida's face turned green.

"Oh, this..."

"If I were to accidentally die, resulting in the loss of the customized cards, wouldn't Su Wei and the others have to bear the consequences?!"

The thought of messing things up and having to face Ryuen Sho's wrath and Su Wei's disappointed gaze sent chills down Kushida Kikyo's spine.

Horikita Suzune ignored Kushida's panic.

She quickly browsed the shop's item list and made a decision.

"Let me try to see if I can use my points to buy some items for self-defense."

"At least, without any protection, we must hold out until Suwei and Ayanokouji find us using the controller."

Kikyo Kushida was surprised to see Suzune Horikita's calm demeanor.

"Wow, that's amazing! You adjusted so quickly."

Yesterday afternoon when she got out of school, she still looked lost and dejected, as if she was about to break down at any moment.

However, her hair at the temples was still a little damp, and the back of her hands was unnaturally cold...

Did you take several cold showers in the dorm, forcing yourself to calm down in this almost self-destructive way?

Of course, for Kushida now, Horikita Suzune's recovery is absolutely a great thing.

Although the black ball granted them a get-out-of-jail-free card this time, if they actually died once, resulting in the loss of Ryuen, Ayanokouji, and the others' custom-made equipment...

Kushida didn't think he would get away with it.

Just as Kikyo Kushida had composed herself and wanted to try to show some concern for Horikita, offering emotional support and perhaps even clinging to his coattails, she realized that...

Hayasaka Ai, who had been ignored for half a day, finally spoke up.

"that......"

The girl naturally shifted to the fear mindset of an ordinary student:

"Can someone kindly explain the current situation to me?"

"What is this so-called black ball? What is the exam? And what exactly is this mysterious merchant you just mentioned?!"

Horikita Suzune turned to look at Hayasaka Ai, who was standing not far away with a puzzled expression.

She didn't stop what she was doing; she just kept working while coldly uttering a remark:

You don't need to know that much.

"All you need to know is that if you want to survive, shut up and stick with us."

"As for the rest, you don't need to know too much for now."
