It can't be the kind of tacit understanding that comes naturally between an old married couple... It's impossible no matter how you look at it!

Absolutely not! It's impossible!

Su Wei seemed to sense Karuizawa Kei's change. He didn't turn around, but simply smiled at Shiina:

"Then I apologize to you, Shiina, for not observing carefully enough."

"However, the difficulty of our next official exam is still unknown, but almost all of the senior test takers this time have lost their lives... It will probably be even more difficult in the future."

Su Wei steered the conversation back on track: "Shiina, what are your plans for future enhancement?"

Hiyori Shiina remained silent for a moment.

Let out a soft breath and organize my plans:

"After redeeming the enhanced outfit before the midterm exam, my current score is entirely from the kickbacks I received when I was chosen as the Mysterious Merchant on Sunday, which is roughly equivalent to 30 S-points."

"My immediate goal is to save up enough points to buy a Leo Cavalry armor set, or a two-star uniform... and then, to accumulate enough points to buy a magical girl blind box..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Wei suddenly interrupted:

"If you're just looking for something to do in the early stages, you can try buying that blank card holder."

"I already bought one. I plan to use it in conjunction with the new [Dungeon Card] from the main god, and then enter the corresponding Mirror World dungeon to sign a contract beast. I can take you there to try it out then."

Karuizawa Kei paused for a moment, then subconsciously interjected:

"Aren't dungeon cards supposed to restrict entry to only one user?"

While Shiina Hiyori was somewhat surprised, she was also mostly taken aback.

"Wouldn't it be a waste to bring me along?"

Su Wei shook his head and patiently explained:

"Aside from the user, the dungeon card allows up to four additional people to enter at a time."

"But right now, the only thing that can clearly be used to create synergies with dungeon cards is the blank card box."

"A blank card box is only worth 30 S points, which is not expensive."

"Even with the dungeon card, I don't think the contracted beasts inside will significantly improve my and Longyuan's combat strength."

"Therefore, I plan to use this opportunity to help those who need to step up in the preliminary tests improve their skills."

Hiyori Shiina tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"Is it because you, as official candidates, were unable to enter the examination hall during the preliminary test and didn't make it in time...?"

Su Wei nodded in confirmation:

"Whether for the sake of scores or for the safety of students, the test takers' abilities should be raised."

"Therefore, I think it's fine to use an unimportant copy card. However, since a blank card box costs at least 30 S points, and the strength of the contracted beast cannot be guaranteed, there aren't many people who are actually suitable for it and can afford to spend those points."

After a moment's thought, Shiina Hiyori shook her head and said understandingly:

"No, they won't. Although few people meet the requirements, it's an item that synergizes with the newly introduced mechanics, and those with enough points probably won't refuse it..."

She looked up at Su Wei: "Is it really okay to give me this rare opportunity directly?"

Su Wei looked at her and couldn't help but sigh.

Do you really want me to spell it out?

"Do you really want me to say outright, 'I don't want to see you chosen as an intruder one day, powerless to protect yourself, and I just happen to be away... I don't want you to die,' before you'll be satisfied?"

This straight shot struck the girl's heart.

Hiyori Shiina lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

In the gentle breeze carrying the falling leaves, the girl's earlobes glowed a bright red.

"Hmm... I will live well."

Seeing this, Su Wei nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately.

He turned his head casually to look at Karuizawa Megumi beside him, who was pretending to be indifferent but whose eyes were clearly saying, "What about me? What about me?" and said with a hint of amusement:

Don't look at me like that.

"I helped Shiina because she had enough points to buy a card pack."

"Furthermore, with my Crazy Diamond and World Stand in our class, protecting ourselves during the test shouldn't be a big problem..."

As she spoke, Karuizawa Kei's mood visibly dropped, and even her golden ponytail seemed to lose its luster.

Su Wei sighed and conceded:

"Well, there are four slots for the dungeon card anyway. If you can save up 30 S points to buy the card pack, I'll take you with me."

Karuizawa Megumi, whose day had been overcast and rainy, suddenly found herself in a sunny weather.

She nodded vigorously and assured him in a deep, resonant voice:

"I will definitely save up enough points for the next exam! I definitely will!"
