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

Compared to someone like him who was completely clueless, having a wise person by his side who clearly possessed more information about the other world was better than blindly guessing.

......

Meanwhile, in another hidden storage room in the mall.

Tachibana Akane and Wang Meiyu were holding their breath, hiding behind a pile of cardboard boxes.

The rustling sounds of the puppets dragging outside the corridor suddenly stopped, and the entire mall fell silent.

Akane tentatively pressed her ear close to the wall.

Wang Meiyu nervously gripped the hem of her clothes and tentatively asked in a low voice:

"Senior...it seems like the noise outside has stopped. Should we go out and check?"

"No."

Akane Tachibana shook her head decisively.

Although we can't hear anything right now, in a sense, the silence itself is a dangerous sign.

Moreover, this is the preliminary testing period for the lower grades. With their accumulated experience, even without Ayanokoji Kiyotaka as a tester, they should not be short of black ball equipment.

The black ball is equipped with a built-in radar, which allows it to clearly see the positions of enemies and teammates.

Akane Tachibana lowered her voice and explained:

"Since everything is alright now, let's stay here and wait for the students to rescue us using the black ball radar."

"If we wait for their rescue, then everyone will be happy."

"If we haven't received it by then, it means that we or they are very close to danger."

"If we rush out now and run into that monster that can assimilate humans, we're doomed."

Seeing Ju Qian's organized and logical manner, Wang Meiyu nodded silently.

Meanwhile, Tachibana Akane saw Wang Meiyu beside her, who was also trembling but still trying to remain calm.

A pang of guilt welled up in my heart.

Despite being a senior student and the secretary of the student council, she could only lead her juniors to eke out a living in a dark corner like rats.

Recalling Wang Meiyu's experience as a victim of the spacetime rift, how she managed to survive for so many days in this malicious world simply by being an ordinary person.

It can also quickly identify how a monster's abilities are triggered.

To be honest, Akane Tachibana thinks she's not even as good as this junior.

If she were left alone in this unfamiliar world, even in Tokyo, Akane Tachibana doesn't think she could have remained rational until now.

'Speaking of which... I wonder who the mysterious merchant will be chosen for this exam.'

Akane Tachibana was secretly making plans in her mind.

If they're lucky and the merchant isn't too far away, they might be able to use the points they accumulated from the last exam to buy some useful self-defense equipment.

After all, the last exam involved chimeric ants. Even though the only way to obtain item points was by destroying ant eggs, and the points had to be shared equally among everyone, the item points on everyone's accounts were actually quite substantial.

I didn't spend a lot of money at the time simply because there weren't any affordable items to buy in the stores.

Like most of her classmates, she chose to exchange for the [Explosive Talisman] and the [Stone Mask].

Unfortunately, given the mall's layout, with floor-to-ceiling windows and lights everywhere, it's easily exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet rays, making the Stone Mask unsuitable at this time.

So the only thing she can use for protection right now is the explosive tag...

Just as Tachibana Akane was pondering, she suddenly heard a very light footstep.

Tachibana's heart clenched, and she instinctively reached into her pocket and pinched the edge of the explosive tag.

"Hey classmate? Are you listening?"

Not far away, a girl's voice, deliberately lowered, called out: "We're here. There are no monsters around for now... We're the test team for this test. Don't worry, I'm from Class A..."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Tachibana Akane's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Clearly, this is Kikyo Kushida's voice.

Although Kushida now possesses an enhanced suit, the Stone Mask is not suitable for this environment, so the only self-defense item she has left is the explosive tag.

So after much deliberation, Kushida decided to go with Horikita Suzune and the others to carry out the "find someone" mission.

Anyway, while Koenji Rokusuke and the others were fighting the puppets, she was in charge of finding people, so she was contributing to everyone!

It wouldn't be too late for her to make her move once Suwei and the others arrived and lured away the strongest monsters.

While silently applauding her "plan," Kikyo Kushida couldn't help but hum a soft hum.

however.

What she didn't notice was that just as Tachibana Akane tentatively pushed the door open a crack, preparing to peek out...

Akane Tachibana, and the space around her, seemed to have undergone some kind of change.

The once modern shopping mall corridors have crumbled and disappeared like a shattered mirror.

Instead, there was a vast, desolate grassland.
