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

Ryuji Kanzaki stroked his chin, recalled for a moment, and agreed:

"I definitely have that feeling."

"However, rather than saying that the monsters regarded us as allies, it would be more accurate to say that... those monsters were simply unaware of our existence."

Ryuji Kanzaki adjusted his glasses and offered his analysis:

"It's possible that because we are ghosts, only those with 'spiritual vision' or special eye techniques can see us."

"In the formal exam, all testers and candidates are given basic clairvoyance abilities by the system, which is why they can see each other and interact."

"This can be considered an insurmountable boundary."

"Of course, it's also possible that it's simply a rule, or... perhaps it's the black ball's way of showing some remaining care for us poor souls who have already died once."

Hayasaka Ai nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand. Thank you both for your explanation."

Although Ryuji Kanzaki's analysis wasn't a completely accurate answer, it was enough for Ai Hayasaka, who was used to surviving in the cracks of information, to extract useful value from it.

If in a future exam, you truly find yourself in a hopeless situation...

Based solely on this ghost mechanism, which is similar to "blocking monster aggro".

Ichinose and the others had already realized this, and were even secretly planning to exchange secret codes with these so-called dead 'ghosts' so that they could gain information advantage during the next exam.

From a certain perspective.

The actual safety factor of playing as a ghost in the revival competition is much higher than that of a random intruder who is simply selected to enter the examination room as a living person!

The only concern is...

Will she be able to return to her original world smoothly after death?

Will the subsequent Black Ball revival tournament continue to use this set of unspoken rules that benefit the Ghost?

These are all potentially fatal unknowns.

What is this? Is this the true meaning of seeking fortune in danger?

'So, if I really want to be on the safe side and take control of my own destiny, I can only rely on myself... to try and get as many S points as possible in the exam hall?'

Hayasaka Ai took a deep breath and suppressed these complicated contingency plans in her mind.

After seeing Chihiro Shiraha answer her question, she immediately ran to find Miko Yotsuya, seemingly wanting to ask her for a favor.

As a result, just like when she went to find Chihiro Shiraha earlier, the plot was interrupted again before Shiraha could even speak.

It was clear that Yotsuya Miko hadn't noticed Shiranami Chihiro at all, and instead approached Fujiwara Chika, who had just run up from below.

Yotsuya Miko lowered her voice and asked cautiously, as if grasping at a straw:

"Um... Fujiwara-kun."

"When you were teleported to this Advanced Education School, did you notice... anyone around you who looked like you, someone who clearly didn't belong to this world?"

"..."

Hayasaka Ai watched this scene silently, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

An absurd sense of shared misfortune arose for no apparent reason.

We are all strangers in a strange land, struggling to survive in this miniature garden full of monsters.

Everyone has someone in another world who haunts their dreams.

Now, both of them are tragically left with only their last remaining life as a safety net...

At this moment, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had just successfully obtained the [Demon's Essence] capsule from Suwei, walked over in a cheerful mood.

She looked at Hayasaka Ai, whose expression was somewhat forlorn, and unusually showed concern by saying:

"That's your classmate from your original world, right...? Do you want to stay here and catch up with her some more?"

"I'm going to take my leave now."

Hayasaka Ai shook her head slightly, suppressing her excess emotions, and calmly said:

"No need."

“I think Secretary Fujiwara is adapting quite well to Ichinose’s class, and Ichinose is taking good care of her. Let them spend more time together.”

"Now that I've agreed to be your companion, I should naturally focus my energy on important matters."

"Now, is there anything I can help you prepare?"

Sakayanagi Arisu pursed her lips and paused for a moment.

Then, the girl smiled slightly, turned her head and grabbed the shoulder of Kamuro Masumi, who was sitting next to her, looking bored and lost in thought.

"Kamuro, you've got nothing better to do anyway, right?"

"Perfect timing, I need your help recording some things here. Why don't you come with us and lend a hand?"

"Huh?!" Kamuro Masumi froze, pointing at herself in disbelief.

When did I say I had nothing to do?!
