No matter how complicated their feelings were, the students in Class B and Class D ultimately had to accept the reality that they would have to fight monsters in the future.

With his passion extinguished and reason returning to his mind, Ike Kanji scratched his head, deceiving himself:

"Yamachi, do you think it's possible that I'm actually the chosen one?"

"Whether it was the previous random selection or that unlucky random appearance, I wasn't chosen, was I?"

"As long as I don't intentionally go and die, and stay obediently in the safe zone, I might be able to survive until graduation..."

"what?"

Haruki Yamauchi, also a member of the problem trio, couldn't help but scoff:

"If you were the protagonist, shouldn't you have been chosen by the black sphere from the very beginning, then punched zombies and kicked evil spirits, leading us to destroy the black sphere and reach the pinnacle of life?"

"What? Your protagonist aura means you're only good at AFK farming and slacking off?"

"Tch, what do you know..."

Having his thoughts exposed, Ike Kanji blushed and tried to save face, saying:

"This is what you call an AFK (away from keyboard) protagonist! Don't underestimate the potential of the elderly, understand? Sometimes, with a weak foundation and a distant goal, you just need to take some detours..."

Listening to the two people's nonsensical and absurd remarks, Su Wei looked away with amusement.

He turned to look around.

The students were either preoccupied or gathered in small groups whispering to each other, showing no sign of dispersing.

The sword of Damocles hanging overhead made everyone a frightened bird.

That's about it.

Su Wei counted silently in his mind.

'Three, two, one.'

next second.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ding-dong, ding-dong—"

The continuous notification sounds exploded like dominoes in the crowd.

Everyone hurriedly turned on their phones.

"This is......"

Someone looked at the red message on the screen and exclaimed in surprise:

"A special exam... a preliminary test?!"

Not far away, Honami Ichinose, who was negotiating with the PE teacher about the compensation for the basketball he had just crushed, also took out her phone to check after hearing the noise.

When she saw the school's notice to all students, she was completely stunned.

[After careful consideration by the school, to help everyone adapt as quickly as possible, "preliminary tests" will be conducted irregularly before any special exams. One student will be randomly selected from each class; the winner will be exempt from receiving a reward, while the loser will be forced into the black ball exam room that evening as an "intruder."]

this......

Ichinose's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

Isn't this just too much of a coincidence?

In the previous class, in order to calm the panicked crowd, Kikyo Kushida casually made up a story that the school might have new evaluation criteria.

Class had just ended, and before we even had a chance to catch our breath, the school had already launched the so-called "preliminary test"?

Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka shared her feelings.

Horikita Suzune frowned, inwardly marveling at how terrifyingly accurate Kushida Kikyo's intuition was; she was quite something.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the surveillance cameras that were visible everywhere around him.

'Is the black ball... watching us?'

Due to the lack of information, Ayanokouji was unable to fully connect the fragmented clues in his memory.

Just as he was pondering this, his phone vibrated again in his palm.

A private message popped up abruptly.

[Lucky winner, please head to the lobby on the first floor of the teaching building before 4 PM to start the game.]

Those who fail to arrive within the time limit will be considered to have forfeited, and will accept the loss.

[Note: This spot can be exchanged by actively registering for the special exam that evening.]

"..."

Looking at the prompt on the screen, Ayanoko remained expressionless.

Hirata Yosuke, who was nearby, came over upon hearing the noise, glanced at his phone screen, and was immediately surprised:

"Ayanokouji, you've been chosen?"

Hirata frowned, his tone worried:
