"Is there something you need?"

Looking at the girl whose hair color inexplicably reminded him of a certain pink dumpling, Su Wei asked.

Ichinose paused, her prepared opening remarks choked back.

Kikyo Kushida covered her mouth and chuckled, naturally smoothing things over:

"As an international student, Su Weijun is indeed still not used to the customs here, right?"

"The way to get along with Japanese people is to first pretend you didn't see them, then act like you just spotted Ichinose and exclaim with delight, 'Ah, isn't this Ichinose from Class B?' Finally, chat for a while about unimportant things like the weather and hobbies before slowly getting to the point."

"This is what they call 'reading the air'."

"Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Ichinose's fair cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and she waved her hands repeatedly:

"No, it doesn't have to be that bad! Kushida-kun, you're exaggerating!"

"Su Wei, please don't take this seriously!"

Su Wei did not dwell on the matter.

He glanced down at the time:

"So, is there something you need?"

"If I'm not in a hurry, I still need to go buy Dr. Pepper. You know, class is about to start."

"Ah! I'm so sorry!"

Ichinose then remembered the important matter at hand, quickly suppressing her shyness and becoming more serious:

"I came here mainly to ask Su Wei about your thoughts on the Black Ball Trial."

She paused for a moment:

"Especially that...enhanced suit."

"I want to know its actual effect, and whether it is worthwhile for us to gather the whole team and prioritize its application to everyone."

Su Wei was not surprised by the girl's serious expression.

As the leader of Class B, Honami Ichinose possesses a far greater sense of the big picture and a spirit of sacrifice than most people.

After last night's hard-fought victory, she was more eager than anyone to improve the team's survival rate.

After a moment's thought, he gave an affirmative answer:

"As for the results... I personally think they're pretty good."

"But you might not get a sense of it just by talking about it..."

Su Wei thought for a moment and then suggested:

"Isn't there a joint PE class for Class B and Class D this afternoon? I can wear it and show you how it looks. I brought it with me."

"Huh? Is it really okay?"

Honami Ichinose's eyes widened.

She had assumed that Su Wei might be keeping something from her or using it as leverage to demand something from her.

After all, as the first person to redeem the combat suit, he could easily accumulate interest and maintain his lead.

"What's wrong with that?"

Su Wei casually said:

"Since we'll most likely be teaming up together in the future anyway, if my teammates are stronger, I'll have less to worry about, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ichinose visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much, Su Wei! I... I don't even know how to say it."

She sighed with genuine emotion.

Although this school advocates meritocracy, it's true that there are still more good people than bad in this world.

"Ring ring—"

The urgent school bell rang abruptly.

"Ichinose, class is about to start."

Chihiro Shirami walked over quickly and naturally took Ichinose's arm.

Her tone was gentle, but when her gaze swept over Su Wei, it instantly turned sharp, like a panting kitten.

"Ah! Sorry!"

Ichinose exclaimed in surprise, as if remembering something, and hurriedly rummaged in his pocket.

"Um... Su Wei!"

She handed over a small bottle of Max coffee, still warm from her body, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's not very valuable, but please accept this! Consider it an apology for taking up your time!"
