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

Nanase Tsubasa was immediately flattered:

"Thank you, senior..."

She quickly took the still-warm bento box with both hands, turned to welcome Horikita Suzune into the house, and hurried to the small bar to pour a glass of warm water and bring it over.

But after handing the water glass to Horikita, Nanase Tsubasa quickly realized the blind spot in her previous words and asked in confusion:

"Senior, what is this 'list of intruders' you just mentioned?"

Horikita Suzune took the water glass, took a small sip, and explained slowly:

“The Black Ball exams we took before weren’t very long. Even the one where we faced Godzilla’s rampage didn’t take more than 12 hours in real time.”

"But this time, because you almost exceeded the time limit in the revival round and disappeared for too long in reality, many people thought you had failed the exam and died."

"To appease everyone, the school followed the suggestions of some students and created a real-time 'Intruder Report,' which can be considered as giving all students an explanation." Horikita Suzune pointed to her phone. "As long as there is an error in the number of missing persons, everyone will know immediately that the Black Ball Exam is over."

Nanase Tsubasa stroked her chin thoughtfully:

"I see... So if there are names on the list that haven't been removed... does that mean it's a 'death list' in some sense?"

Horikita Suzune hummed in agreement.

"Perhaps the school and the black ball also have this intention."

"But I think this is a way of reminding students, at least letting everyone know who is still fighting on the front lines, which is not a bad thing."

Nanase Tsubasa nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Nanase Tsubasa's emotions were relatively stable, Horikita Suzune continued to get to the point and asked:

"I heard from Su Wei that you were forcibly dragged into Bai Bo and the others' 'resurrection match' as ​​an intruder in this exam. What exactly happened over there?"

Nanase Tsubasa paused for a moment, the madness in "The Cabin in the Woods" flashing through her mind, and slowly explained:

"Actually, the overall process is not much different from the ordinary exams we usually take. You have to face monsters with different mechanisms."

"We just had an additional identity there—as one of the 'chosen ones' in the ritual of the evil god. The rule given by the black sphere was that if we didn't die according to the ritual within the specified time, it would anger the sleeping ancient evil god and cause the destruction of the entire Earth."

Horikita Suzune raised her eyebrows upon hearing this:

"Earth...destroyed?"

"Isn't this a bit too much of an exaggeration...?"

Horikita couldn't help but have doubts. After all, no matter how exaggerated the enemies they had encountered before were, even if they were the Dark Demons that represented the root of fear, they were only abnormal in terms of the rules of judgment.

In terms of sheer physical power, even if Godzilla's atomic breath were to be continuously unleashed, it could only destroy that area of ​​Tokyo for a short period of time at most.

This jumps to the level of directly "destroying the Earth"... isn't there some mistake?

Nanase Tsubasa sighed and said with a wry smile:

"Senior, to be honest, I initially thought exactly the same thing as you."

"Unfortunately, that's just how it is, and there's nothing we can do about it."

As the girl opened her lunchbox, she recalled with lingering fear:

"Although I didn't witness it myself, I heard from Shiina-senpai and the people in the mirror dimension... that because of the delay, a hand larger than a mountain really did emerge from the ground, and then the entire surface of the Earth in that world began to collapse..."

"Fortunately, this resurrection round wasn't entirely unsolvable. The main god's only requirement for us was to 'live.' In the end, we found a monster that could connect to Hell. Although there were some mishaps along the way, the system ultimately ruled that we had passed the round."

Horikita Suzune pursed her lips, digesting this massive amount of information.

"What are your rewards for completing the game?"

Nanase Tsubasa thought for a moment, then, without hiding anything, told the truth:

"Each person receives 30 S-points, one additional resurrection opportunity, and... a new feature unlocked by the system."

"When the black ball was set up, it told us that as an extra reward for the first clear of the revival match, we would be given a 'special teacher' as a reward later on."

"Teacher...?" Horikita Suzune looked puzzled.

For them now, seeking out worldly teachers is completely meaningless.

Judging from the attitudes currently displayed by the Black Ball and the Main God, since this is a "reward for clearing the level" obtained through risking their lives, then this teacher is definitely not an ordinary person and will certainly have a substantial improvement on their survival ability.

"Could it be... a mentor who came specifically to teach us about deep ripples, or to guide us in using 'qigong'?" Horikita Suzune boldly guessed.

Hmm...maybe?

Nanase Tsubasa wasn't quite sure either. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat her bento in small bites.

Sure enough, Nanase Tsubasa could tell the difference the moment she put the bento in her mouth.

This is definitely a dish made by Horikita Suzune herself, not some perfunctory thing bought from a convenience store.

It tastes surprisingly good.

After a moment of quiet admiration for this seemingly aloof senior student who also possessed such qualities of a virtuous wife, loving mother, and skillful hands, I realized that she was truly remarkable.

Nanase Tsubasa swallowed the food in her mouth, then, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Horikita Suzune and asked:

"Oh, right, Horikita-senpai."

"Since you're such a good cook, why don't you just pack a bento for Senior Su Wei too?"
