Just as Kiyotaka Ayanokouji had just thought, the black ball's own statement already represented a certain message.

This at least proves that the past between her, Sakayanagi, and even Suwei was very complicated!

This has reached a level that even the Black Balls believe is beyond their current reach...

However, this matter is not urgent and can be put on hold for now.

The most urgent task right now is to find out what kind of relationship exists between the black ball and the so-called "back room".

but......

After gazing into the distance for a moment in thought, Tianze Yixia turned around and spread her hands helplessly at everyone:

"I suddenly realized something very embarrassing."

"That means the reward we received in the last test was item points, which can't be converted back into S points. We can only buy items from Miss Clockwork."

"So, my S-points balance is currently zero, and I'm unable to make payments at the moment... Do you have any other questions?"

"Or is there anyone willing to pay for it? We still have time while there are five minutes left in the countdown."

The girl looked at everyone with a smile.

Looking around, he saw several people exchanging bewildered glances, most of them appearing helpless and frustrated.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stroked his chin, and finally took a step forward and spoke:

"I had saved up some S points before."

"After purchasing chakra and curse seeds in the God's Space, the remaining amount is just enough to cover the expenses for this first question."

"I'll do it."

Upon hearing this, Tianze Yixia was very sensible. She stepped back and stood next to Wangcang Mazi, making room for this "sugar daddy".

In the middle of the group, Ryuji Kanzaki looked at Ayanokouji's back and opened his mouth slightly, thinking that as the one who cleared the revival round, he actually had some surplus in his hands.

But then I thought about it again.

16 S points...

Even if he generously saved Ayanokouji some points, with those 16 points plus any points Ayanokouji might have had left, there was still a significant gap between what he could get and what he needed to exchange for a suitable, powerful life-saving item.

If you really want to be picky, it's hard to say whether it's necessary to act like a tycoon.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ryuji Kanzaki decisively shut his mouth and remained silent.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji walked up to the black ball, raised his hand, and pointed the black ball watch at the payment prompt bar that popped up on the black ball's interface.

[Beep... Payment successful.]

The black ball, without hesitation, immediately provided the answer:

As you wish, I will answer your questions.

First of all, what you call the 'back room' has no direct connection to our Black Ball System. If you're talking about rewards after the special midterm exam... I only guaranteed to eliminate the monsters from your world, but that doesn't mean I'll do anything extra.

"Has nothing to do with you, Gantz?" Upon hearing this, Amakura Mako frowned deeply.

The black ball ignored her interruption and continued scrolling through the text explanation:

Secondly, the rift in the world did not exist because of me.

Essentially, the reason you'll encounter the spacetime rift in your midterm exam is because I'm unsure if you can pass that trial. As a safety net, I've temporarily diverted existing rifts from other parts of your world to this area as a backup.

[After those cracks had served their purpose in the examination hall, they naturally returned to their original positions.]

Koenji Rokusuke could only sigh in exasperation at Kuroko's irresponsible explanation.

She twitched the corner of her mouth and pressed on:

"Then, what is the purpose of the back room?"

What necessary connection does it have with the cracks in the world?

Why would a link appear in our world?

This is another issue...it will cost extra.

The black ball was perfectly justified.

Koenji Rokusuke casually tossed his hair and said nonchalantly, "As long as I can afford it, you can deduct it from my account yourself."

"This young master doesn't care about that little bit."

【...As you wish.】

I will answer your questions before the test officially begins.

Immediately afterwards, the text on the surface of the black sphere disappeared, and in its place appeared a picture of a room that was somewhat yellowed and exuded an eerie sense of death.

The wallpaper was dim and yellowish, the carpet was damp, and the fluorescent lights on the ceiling seemed to be driving people crazy.

The so-called back room is actually a separate, independent space, detached from the real world.

Normally, it has nothing to do with the world rift. But precisely because it exists outside of a fixed world, wandering between the cracks of many planes, it is a highly compatible entity, constantly devouring and expanding its own boundaries.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal that it would be attracted to and intersect with your world's naturally existing spacetime rifts during its expansion.
