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

Su Wei sat in the back row, looking at Karuizawa's resentful back as if he could stare right through the desk, and couldn't help but chuckle.

This subtle smile naturally did not escape Horikita's keen eyes.

Horikita pursed her lips, her gaze shifting back and forth between Su Wei and Karuizawa, a hint of confusion flashing in her cool phoenix eyes.

It was as if he was wondering if he had missed some important plot developments.

Just as Horikita was hesitating about whether to speak, the school bell rang at the perfect moment.

"Tap, tap."

Chabashira Sae walked into the classroom in high heels, almost right at the last note of the bell.

Seeing the students below hesitant to speak, Chabashira Sae rubbed her temples with a headache and placed her lesson plan on the podium:

"Alright, you have two minutes to ask questions before class starts. Hurry up."

Everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon.

Before Hirata Yosuke, the class monitor, could even stand up, Kushida Kikyo, who always presented herself as an "angel," had already asked what everyone was thinking:

"Tea Hashira-sensei, Ayanokouji-kun... Did he really use points to exchange for his freedom and leave the school? Or was he sent to another world like Wang Meiyu and Sakura Airi?"

Upon hearing this, Chabashira Sae took a deep breath and sighed with a complex expression:

"As you wish."

"The school has indeed received Ayanokouji's official notice of withdrawal. Unlike those who were swept into the space-time rift to another world, he has truly left the school."

There was an uproar.

Chabashira tapped the blackboard to suppress the noise and continued:

"But that's all I know."

"As for what kind of 'normal life' he has returned to, that is not something we need to care about."

"Just a heads up. GANTZ notified the school this morning that there will be adjustments to the upcoming special exams. Also, the 'Spiritual Time Chamber' feature is now available for 'using class points to simulate practice partners'."

"Alright, two minutes are up. Class will begin. Ask me anything after class."

With the tea stalks providing the final verdict, Kikyo Kushida thoughtfully returned to her seat.

The other classmates who had wanted to ask Ayanokouji exactly how he left had to give up in disappointment.

However, for most ordinary students, this news is already exciting enough.

As long as I can leave, that means there's still hope.

Once you accumulate enough S points, you can escape!

It's better than utter despair with no end in sight.

Compared to these ordinary students whose minds are filled with nothing but "escape".

Kikyo Kushida shared the same goal in her heart.

However, thanks to the privileges initially granted by the black ball, she likely has more leeway in terms of fate than others.

Therefore, Kushida was already planning to participate in today's preliminary test and was mentally preparing to study the enemy he would face in the afternoon.

After all, it's clear to the naked eye that the monsters that spawn in the future will only become more and more monstrous.

Given Ayanokouji's cautionary tale, and without intending to fight to the bitter end, the wisest choice is to quickly accumulate 100 points and run away while there's still room for error!

Anyway, as a unique lucky one, she now has two extra lives to squander.

Kushida clenched his fist inwardly:

'With two lives to try and fail, plus hiding in the back and riding the wave of the situation, I should be able to accumulate 100 points!'

The only problem is...

The most capable players right now are those few regular members. Apart from them, the original star player for the initial testing was Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Now that Ayanokouji is no longer there to back them up, who will ensure the safety of the initial testing phase?

This question wasn't just on Kushida Kikyo's mind.

However, no one has pointed it out yet.

During the long break, Hirata Yosuke went up to the podium and, as usual, asked if anyone was willing to participate in the preliminary test and the black ball main competition.

Apart from a handful of students like Nanase Tsubasa, Kushida Kikyo, and Matsushita Chiaki raising their hands, very few people responded in the large classroom.

The underlying reasons are already quite obvious.

Without a powerful mentor to carry them, no one can be sure if they will become the stepping stone.

Su Wei watched all of this with a cold eye, not intending to speak up or offer any guarantees at the first moment.

Therefore, until class begins.

Although the number of test participants could be easily gathered no matter what, this timid and lifeless silence contrasted subtly with the fervor they felt when they learned of Ayanokouji's departure.

It can only be said that most people are ultimately afraid of death.

When faced with a life-or-death crisis, people are always more inclined to seek out a powerful ally to rely on, rather than forcing themselves to become that ally.
