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

Although also a victim of the black ball exam.

But Shiraishi Asuka's state of mind was much calmer.

After all, unlike Kushida, she didn't know that she had received special attention from the main god.

In addition, she herself came from an organization of the same caliber as the White House, and her initial purpose in entering the Advanced Training School was to monitor Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

Her mental resilience is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary students like Kikyo Kushida, who only know how to play two-faced tricks at school.

But now, the Black Ball exam has appeared out of nowhere.

To be honest, Shiraishi Asuka felt that there was absolutely no need for her to keep an eye on Ayanokoji Kiyotaka anymore.

Any mortal's schemes and missions must give way before the Black Ball.

Even if the organization behind her didn't issue a notification, as someone who was there in person, she knew this better than anyone else.

The reason I came to check the announcement at this time is...

The main reason is curiosity about the meaning behind Ayanokoji's return to school.

I want to see if I can sift out any noteworthy hidden information from these people who are also checking.

Unexpectedly, instead of gathering much intelligence, they stumbled upon Kikyo Kushida in such a disheveled state.

However, she vaguely remembered that Kikyo Kushida was one of the first elderly people to participate in the Black Ball exam, and she even created a group chat as everyone's initial communication hub.

How could someone react to something like this, acting so pathetic and unprepared?

After the black ball appeared, did she only think about hiding in the back and racking up survival points, without having any thought of improving herself at all?

Shiraishi Asuka pondered for a moment, then shook her head inwardly, concluding that she was probably overthinking things.

She then spoke softly, considerately changing the subject:

"Speaking of which, it seems the senior students' exams, which were scheduled for Friday, were moved to today due to some unforeseen circumstances..."

"I wonder if our next exam for the first year of high school will also be moved up at the last minute."

At this moment, Kikyo Kushida, who had finally calmed down and adjusted her emotions, fell silent for a moment.

She nodded and said softly, "That is indeed the case."

“I asked some upperclassmen, and they said that the black ball proactively asked them if they wanted to start the exam early because ‘a classmate is about to die in another world.’”

Shiraishi Asuka nodded slightly, indicating her understanding.

Kikyo Kushida looked at her and saw that Shiraishi had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

The information that was already on the tip of his tongue was reconsidered in his mind, but he ultimately chose to let it out.

She paused, then continued:

"I heard from the senior students that when faced with the questions from the black ball, they don't seem to have the right to directly agree or refuse. The final choice... rests entirely with the student council."

"I wonder what would happen if our grade encountered this situation."

Shiraishi Asuka's eyelids were slightly lowered, her cool gaze unfocused, falling on the swaying shadows of the trees outside the corridor:

"I think... the result will probably be the same as the choices made by the senior students."

Even though the choice is in our own hands.

"After all, it's not like an extra exam just appeared out of thin air; it's simply a matter of the time being moved up. It was just a matter of time."

Kikyo Kushida sighed, muttering to herself, seemingly lost in thought.

The atmosphere between the two subsided slightly for a moment, accompanied by this heavy topic.

Just as Shiraishi Asuka thought that Kushida Kikyo's mood had improved and that she could find an opportunity to get up and leave.

Kikyo Kushida suddenly turned to the side, staring intently at her, and said:

"You... are Asuka Shiraishi from Class A, right?"

Shiraishi Asuka was slightly taken aback, tilted her head to look at the other party, and did not deny it.

Kikyo Kushida then took a deep breath and explained in a low voice:

"Actually, it's like this."

"Yesterday, during our grade's exam, we encountered unreasonable monsters like the Dark Demon and the Dominator Demon, which resulted in all of us except for a few people having a life forcibly deducted."

Shiraishi Asuka nodded, quietly waiting for her to continue.

Kushida stared into Shiraishi's eyes:

"So, I was thinking that while everyone is resting now, we should also plan ahead and prepare a list of the next batch of people willing to participate in the pilot test."

"After all, not everyone is willing to participate in a high-mortality test when there is no room for error, right?"

That's right, this is a clever trick that Kushida came up with to find a backer and curry favor with powerful figures.

If you want someone to protect you in this school, you must first demonstrate your irreplaceable "value".

So, if she is considered as one of the oldest and most senior members...

They proactively took on the "HR" role of coordinating, contacting, and arranging the next round of preliminary testing personnel.
