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

Ran Morishita was walking alone among them.

She turned her head and glanced behind her.

Where deep footprints should have been left, only faint, barely visible marks remain.

Looking up again, she saw the deadly black snowflakes swirling in the air, yet passing right through her body without leaving a single burn mark...

Morishita Ai couldn't help but feel a strange sense of emotion:

"That's incredible..."

If she hadn't witnessed these "snowflakes" surrounding her—snowflakes that would instantly cause terrifying burns to an ordinary person—she wouldn't have reacted at all...

She probably finds it hard to truly grasp the reality that she is now a 'ghost'.

'Should I say I'm currently in a superposition state in quantum mechanics...?'

Morishita Ai thought to herself, then shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.

Just as she was about to continue wandering aimlessly through this wasteland, hoping to find a classmate who had fallen behind and help them out,

"BOOM—!!"

Amidst the continuous bursts of explosions high in the sky, an unusual tremor suddenly broke out!

"Someone's here?"

Almost instinctively, the girl lunged forward, tactically taking a prone position and hiding her small body behind a huge weathered rock.

She even forcibly held her breath at that moment.

After a brief but suffocating wait.

Morishita Ai cautiously peeked half her head out from the edge of the rock, holding her breath and intently observing the direction from which the sound came—

Through the vast expanse of black and gray curtain.

She recognized who it was.

She was a girl made of metal, like a mechanical doll dancing on a music box.

She was moving with elegant steps, carrying a floating metal magic ball, steadily approaching the area where Morishita Ran was located.

"That's... Orianna?"

"A mysterious businessman?!"

Morishita Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately turned pale and realized something was wrong!

"Oops!"

You should know that as the "mysterious merchants" in the Black Ball examination room, they are like searchlights in the dark night and top-quality treasure chests in a game.

It is something that will be actively sought after by all test takers and examinees!

If someone comes here in search of the merchant, there is a very high probability that they will stumble upon her hidden "ghostly" state.

"We're doomed..."

Morishita Ran's perpetually expressionless face finally broke down, revealing a look of utter despair.

So, the current situation is...

"Morishita Ai, a major crisis!"

Volume 1: Chapter 228 Morishita Ai's startled reaction, and her teasing of Jibril

In mid-air, the gray-black snow was still falling.

Su Wei stood in mid-air, using the far-sightedness granted by the [Five Visions] ability to quietly look down at the figure huddled behind the bunker below.

Seeing the girl with her eyes closed, looking utterly hopeless and waiting to die, Su Wei couldn't help but chuckle.

However, despite the laughter, Su Wei could understand her despair at that moment.

Under the 'ghost' exam rules imposed by the black ball, she is currently in a very awkward situation...

Only one person can see her. If more than one person discovers her, all her efforts will be in vain, and she will instantly fall into the clutches of a hunting spirit.

As a ghost, Morishita Ran has no God's-eye view and has no way of knowing the exact location of Suwei and other qualified candidates and testers. She can only dodge like a headless fly, relying on a vague and illusory luck.

In addition, the presence of mysterious merchants in the vicinity continuously attracts large numbers of players.

Her reaction was purely out of helplessness.

But in reality, Morishita Ai had fallen into a blind spot.

Since even if Clockwork does nothing, it will still be approached by people.

If we continue to hide here, it's only a matter of time before we're 'seen' by other humans.

So why not broaden your thinking a bit?

She could have taken the initiative to find Orianna, explain the situation, and seek her protection.
