After all, he's not some kind of demon.

"In that case, we can let Clockwork take on the role of the 'mysterious merchant'."

Su Wei thought about it more and more and felt that this was a good idea.

It would be unfair and would lose the prestige and true nature of the Main God Space to keep asking students or those lazy old men like Chabashira and Sae to take on the role of mysterious merchants.

It would be better to just hand this position over to the clockwork mechanism.

It gave her an opportunity to meet different people and make friends.

It also allows her to earn some extra money so she can buy herself a few more pretty skins to wear.

The best of both worlds.

As for the [time machine]...

"It's perfect for making up for past regrets, isn't it?"

Just like the initial announcement said.

Here, as long as you have enough points, you can truly create miracles and even make up for any regrets.

......

It was Wednesday afternoon.

There was no advance notice of any special exams, nor any special announcement regarding Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's return to school.

A quiet sense of division pervades the campus of Advanced Nurturing High School.

For humanoids who have already fully embraced their newfound freedom, they simply do whatever they want after school.

Anyway, as long as I haven't become one of the random people who have to die in the lottery, I should enjoy the good days ahead first. Otherwise, if I die before I've spent all my money, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Of course, anyone with a modicum of ambition will make the most of this precious free time to do their best to improve themselves.

For example, the kikyokuchida.

After setting her goal, she quickly took action.

After contacting Sakayanagi Arisu, Ichinose Honami, and others in the previously established "Black Ball Mutual Aid Group" to confirm the list of people who would not participate in the next exam, he took the initiative to take on the task of coordinating the personnel for the next preliminary test.

Ichinose and Ryuen Sho naturally had no objection to this.

Some people are willing to run errands to handle these tedious social tasks, and they are happy to have some free time.

Sakayanagi Arisu, however, immediately saw through Kushida Kikyo's scheme.

But she didn't try to stop anything.

It's too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost.

Fortunately, life is about making the best of a bad situation.

Sakayanagi Arisu sat upright in a window seat, resting her chin on her hand.

'Look at Kushida, she's really trying to salvage her sense of worth through this method.'

Or is it that, after making the first mistake of backing down, you intend to make a new mistake to make up for the old one?

Thinking about it, Sakayanagi Arisu turned her head.

First, she glanced at Shiraishi Asuka, who was holding her phone and earnestly replying to Kushida Kikyo's messages.

Then, she turned her gaze to Hayasaka Ai, who was not far away, her brows furrowed, clearly lost in anxious daydreams.

"Haasaka."

Sakayanagi Arisu spoke softly, her voice languid yet elegant: "How many points do you have left?"

Hearing this, Hayasaka Ai looked up and saw that it was Sakayanagi Arisu who asked the question, so she didn't try to hide it.

She answered honestly, "Including the item points I got from collecting Stone Masks... it's worth about thirty S points."

Sakayanagi Arisu reached out, slightly pursed her pale cherry-colored lips, and said with satisfaction:

"Just what I expected, it's just enough."

Hayasaka Ai tilted her head slightly, her golden hair falling over her shoulders, waiting for what was to come.

Sakayanagi Arisu explained with a light laugh:

"Su Weijun has a [Dungeon Card] that can give a [Blank Card Box] worth 30 S points an opportunity to enter the Mirror World to contract a contracted beast and upgrade it."

"Yesterday, when Amaze and Shiina barged into the senior students' exam hall, they also tried using ordinary blank card boxes. Before forming a contract, it already possessed combat power comparable to the [Leo Cavalry], and also had the ability to enter the mirror world for refuge. It's safe to assume that after obtaining a contracted beast, its value will be equivalent to equipment worth fifty or sixty S points."

"But because there are limited spots, only one person in our class can actually get this ticket to sign the contract."

She leaned slightly forward, gazing at Hayasaka Ai:

"Now, with Katsuragi and you as potential candidates... what are your thoughts?"

Looking at Sakayanagi Arisu's meaningful smile, Hayasaka Ai was momentarily confused about her purpose.

After all, this is actually a simple multiple-choice question.

Compared to her, an outsider who made it clear from the beginning that she would leave this world once she had accumulated enough points.
