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

"Actually... we hadn't considered this issue before."

"Because when we first enrolled, the school told us that we couldn't leave the school before graduation..."

Ichinose sighed and continued:

"Even in the very first few days after the Black Ball appeared... quite a few students were penalized by the Black Ball system for attempting to contact their families for help without authorization, which was deemed a violation, resulting in the direct loss of a precious life..."

"Yes, this life was given to us by the black ball at the beginning of the game as compensation, as insurance."

"Once you've lost all your points, if you die in the exam room, you're really dead."

After hearing this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Extra lives...

It sounds cruel, but if you look at it from another perspective, even knowing that the monsters Ichinose and the others faced in the exam room were very dangerous.

In reality, most students are not required to participate in every exam.

At school, most people can stay comfortably in the safe zone, living off the points they earn as test takers.

As long as you don't get picked, this place is practically paradise.

On the other hand, what about her?

In their original world, they lived in constant fear.

On the street, in the classroom, even in bed... you can be frightened by those strangely-looking evil spirits anytime, anywhere.

That's a situation where if you're not careful and someone notices your disguise, you're doomed.

In contrast, she felt more secure with highly developed individuals.

'If only I had found this school sooner, I could have transferred here...'

Yotsuya Miko silently shed tears in her heart.

However, despite her envy, Yotsuya Miko did not forget that she was still carrying the entrustment from Shiranami Chihiro.

She swallowed hard, then pressed on with the question:

"So... according to you, we really have no way to leave here and go out to see the world?"

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's pitiful appearance, Ichinose Honami couldn't bear it.

She paused briefly before speaking to comfort her:

"Don't be discouraged. I'll ask the senior students in the student council later. Maybe they'll know some loopholes in the rules."

Yotsuya Miko nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Thank you, Ichinose-san!"

"Although I have a feeling in my heart... this may no longer be the world I originally came from. But I still want to see it with my own eyes, even if it's just for a glimpse."

Ichinose leaned slightly closer and quietly moved a little closer.

He gently patted Miko's back, his voice as soft as if he were soothing a child.

"I understand, Yotsuya-kun."

"However, since you're already here, you might as well make the best of it. Now that you're at our school, it seems you won't be able to leave for quite some time..."

"In particular, there's a joint exam for the Black Ball team after every major school exam. In order to make it to the day you go home... you still need to improve your survival skills during this period."

Honami Ichinose looked at her intently:

"I remember you were born with the ability to see ghosts, right? I suppose your mental strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people... You should be very suitable for practicing Ripple."

With that, Ichinose opened her phone and sent the Ripple practice document directly to Yotsuya Miko.

"This is the practice method for creating ripples. Go back and study it carefully."

"With proper practice, it's absolutely fine for self-defense. Even ordinary evil spirits and vampires, which are more inclined towards darkness, will be restrained and frustrated by Ripple."

Ichinose thoughtfully added a reason that no girl could refuse:

"Even if we disregard its combat applications, long-term practice of Ripple can also beautify the skin and slow down aging. Girls will definitely benefit from practicing it."

Looking at the precious files received on my phone.

Yotsuya Miko's eyes welled up with tears, and she bowed gratefully to Ichinose:

"Ichinose-san... thank you so much!"

"If only I had met such wonderful people as you sooner!"

Ichinose smiled and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite:

"It's okay, everyone stumbles and learns by trial and error."

"But Jianzi, once you've adapted, you can come find me. Come with me to take the Black Ball exam and buy your own enhanced suit."

"The enhanced suit can improve the physical fitness of ordinary people and also defend against a certain degree of damage, making it very cost-effective. With the points you have from killing vampires and obtaining the Stone Mask, it should be enough to redeem it."

Yotsuya Miko gave a strong "hmm".

She stood at the dormitory entrance, watching with reluctance as Ichinose Honami turned and left.
