Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 331, 328th semester final
"From Himeko Palace?!"

The petite Sakura was startled and quickly hid behind the equally alert Cool Sakura.

Meanwhile, Sakura's ears twitched slightly, and she looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Why won't you stay within your own protective barrier? Why do you insist on coming here?"
"Furthermore, the president knew the true meaning of the countdown and wanted to stop the High Table Ball, which was also instigated by you, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, the petite Sakura Palace flew to the top of the cool Sakura Palace's head and earnestly retorted,
"No, it's because the student council president wants Hitomi back!"

"What's the point of bringing Tong back? She can't do anything right, she's clearly incapable of this or that."

Feeling inferior, Sakura covered her chest and murmured.

"The president and you all are just stuck in a rut, thinking that my replacement of Hitomi means killing Hitomi!"

"But we are all part of Hitomi. Even if I take her place, Hitomi Sakuramiya will still be Hitomi Sakuramiya."
"It's simply a matter of removing everything bad from Tong's body!"

"This is the process by which children change their bad habits and adults overcome their shortcomings!"
"It's simply because a concrete element like a barrier has been added, which is why the president doesn't understand."

But as she spoke, she took a deep breath and continued,

"I'll explain it to the chairman properly after the high table party. It's okay if he still doesn't understand by then."

Listening, the petite Sakura realized what was happening, her eyes narrowed, and she said angrily,

"You want to use memory correction on the president?!"

"This is just a last resort."

The petite Sakura-miya continued arguing, but the cool Sakura-miya had already seen through the true nature of the insecure Sakura-miya's behavior.

She frowned and questioned him directly.
"So, that's why you want to kill us Sakuramiya, who represent Hitomi's flaws?"

"."

Sakura, slightly taken aback, then took a step back, shook her head, and said softly,
"No, I will not kill you with my own hands. I am not as foolish as the previous Perfect Sakura Palace."

"I will let you stay in your own barriers and spend your last pleasant moments there, until the moment when all barriers shatter."
"It's like collective euthanasia. That's much more efficient, isn't it?"

Behind her was the only entrance to that barrier.

"You are the same."
"Since you refuse to return to your own barrier and treat it as your grave, then you may stay here."
"However, I slowed down the flow of time within this barrier countless times."
"The real-life high table ball will begin in just a few hours!"

After saying that, Zibei Yinggong smiled apologetically and turned to leave.

"You bastard!! How are you any different from that serial killer, Perfect Sakuramiya?!"

Seeing that the self-conscious Sakura was about to lock them up here, the petite Sakura was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She shouted at the self-conscious Sakura's back with all her might.

Upon hearing this, the self-conscious Sakura Palace suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Her shoulders trembled slightly, then she slowly turned around and stared directly at them, saying...
"They're not quite the same."
"She didn't do a good enough job, and she never gained the president's favor. She simply couldn't replace Hitomi."
"I will be better than her, I will do better than her, and I will be more perfect."

With each word she uttered, the mouse ears on her head and back grew smaller and smaller.

Seeing the rat ears that had completely disappeared from her head and back, both Sakura-miya's expressions changed slightly.

Because they, who are also wearing personas, deeply realized:
The essence of Sakura Palace's inferiority complex is changing.

Beside her, countless television scenes showed Tong not doing well enough, which was the essence of her inferiority complex.

And ultimately, it emerges from that essence.
It's her inner desire to become a better person.

Because she was just a mouse hiding in the closet, she longed to become a fox that could squeeze out of the closet.

It was precisely because she felt that her true nature was so despicable that she wanted to learn from the president's footage on the camera and change herself so that she could perform better in front of him.

It was precisely because she was so insecure
That's why she wanted to become so perfect!

"Boom!"

The rat ears and tail on the head of the self-deprecating Sakura Palace fell off little by little, and at the same time, the entire barrier of the self-deprecating Sakura Palace was experiencing a violent earthquake.

This barrier appears to have fallen apart, turning into an unclaimed public area.

because
The appearance of Sakura-miya before my eyes has become exactly like that of the real Hitomi.

But she is stronger and more graceful.
But she was Yan Huan's dance partner at the high table ball; she was also the one who could replace Hitomi.
"So, the one who was killed before wasn't the so-called perfect Sakuramiya at all."

And Sakura, who had seemingly shed her mouse ears and succumbed to a deep-seated inferiority complex, stared at them with narrowed eyes and said softly,
"I am."

As soon as he finished speaking, a frighteningly short countdown appeared above the entire barrier, lasting only a few hours.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

As the countdown progressed, the corresponding movement of the sun and moon seemed to accelerate.

Time is passing by, day by day.

"Boom!"

As the time for the High Table Banquet in reality drew closer, earthquakes within the barrier began to occur more frequently.

Inside the barrier, watching all this unfold, the self-conscious—or rather, the perfect Sakura Palace—didn't show any particular expression.

She simply turned around again, grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door.

"Click!"

"stop!!"

Seeing this, Kusakura Palace hurriedly ran towards Perfect Sakura Palace amidst the violent shaking.

But Perfect Sakura Palace didn't even glance at her; she simply took a step forward.
Along with the iron gate, it completely disappeared into the barrier.

This abandoned, unclaimed barrier has now transformed into an indestructible cage.

"Kaka!!"

"hateful!!"

As the petite Sakura-miya gazed at the violently shaking barrier around her, she finally realized what was happening.
"The insecure Sakura-miya and the perfect Sakura-miya are two sides of the same coin, so killing the perfect Sakura-miya before was completely useless. I... I understand!!"

Kusakura looked at the blood-red countdown above, then turned to look at the petite Sakura who was still standing there.
"What do you know?!"

"So now, the barrier surrounding Perfect Sakura Palace is in the same location as before—it's right on her body!!"

Having said that, the petite Sakura Palace quickly flew onto the cool Sakura Palace's body and said anxiously,

"Quickly, get the camera out! Send this message to the president! Even the perfect Sakuramiya won't refuse the president; as long as the president touches her barrier, she can enter."

Even if you say that...

"Hurry!! We must get the president into the Perfect Sakura Palace's barrier before the High Table Ball begins!!"

"The flow of time here is so different from outside! Even if you speak, the information the guild leader receives might be very blurry. By the time it's fully sent, there probably won't be much time left."

The petite Sakura-miya stared blankly at the cool Sakura-miya, but still gritted her teeth and said,
"We have to try, though. What if we just ruin the High Table Ball like this?"
"Hitomi will be very sad."

Seeing this, Kusakura sighed and still took out the camera.
"It will definitely be very sad for us."

“Didi. Ta-da.”

As the countdown within the barrier ticked away, the sun above Linmen seemed to accelerate, rising and setting rapidly.

In reality, it was impossible for Yan Huan to know about the dramatic changes that had occurred to the petite Sakura Palace and the others within the barrier. She was simply preparing step by step according to the plan.

Time passed day by day, and only occasionally would the camera suddenly emit a long, muffled sound.

Yan Huan didn't understand what he meant, so she could only carry the camera with her at all times, ready to record the messages coming through it.

"since"

"humble"

"Right now"

"over"

When the fourth word came out, Yan Huan's eyes narrowed sharply, and she stood up straight from her desk.

"click"

Nearby, all the students in Class A of the first year, who were writing furiously, looked at him.

On the podium, a bald head, glowing faintly in the setting sun, also drew attention to his actions.

"Hey, Yan Huan, I know you've finished answering. Check it again; it's not time to hand in your paper yet."

Yan Huan looked up toward the lecture hall. In front of the blackboard with the words "Spring Semester Final Exam" written on it, Zhou Bin, holding a cup of tea, was looking at him and patiently advising him.

"Teacher, I need to hand in my paper now."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bin was taken aback, spat the tea leaves in his mouth into the cup, and shook his head.

"No, no, no! Don't set a bad example! Even if you're the student council president, it's not allowed!"

Yan Huan slammed the test paper down on the table, forced a smile, and said...

"Can I go to the restroom?"

"Hey, you"

Before Zhou Bin could finish speaking, Yan Huan turned and ran out of the classroom without looking back.
"Hey hey!"

Zhou Bin was puzzled, but he couldn't stop him at all. He just stood at the door and watched him run towards Class 1E.

That wasn't the direction of the restroom at all.

But
Hitomi Sakuramiya's class!

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

Yan Huan ran wildly, and although the text on the other end of the camera hadn't finished, she had already understood the message that the petite Sakura and the others had sent through the camera.

If the self-conscious Sakura is the perfect Sakura, then their barrier is in one place!
Right on her tongue!
Therefore, as long as I can kiss her beforehand, I can enter her protective barrier.
The hiding place of that pupil's true form!

"boom!"

The classroom door for Class 1-E was suddenly flung open.

Inside, Yuanlina, holding a pen, looked distressed and tried to sneak a peek at her classmate's test paper by turning her eyes to the furthest distance.

"Hmm, let me see, should I choose A or C for this question? Hmm? D?"

When the door was suddenly flung open, Yuanlina was startled. Before she could even turn her eyes, she almost burst out laughing.

"hiss!"

She covered her face and peeked at the door, thinking that some big shot from the academic affairs office had seen her spying on the surveillance camera.

The visitor turned out to be...
"President of the association?! What brings you here?!"

Upon entering the classroom, Yan Huan looked anxiously at all the students in Class E and the bewildered proctor from Class E standing on the podium.

"Yan, you..."

Yan Huan scanned the area but didn't see Sakura Miyabi's figure, and a bad feeling began to rise in her heart.

"Where is Sakuramiya?"

Upon hearing Yan Huan mention Sakura Miyabi's name, the entire Class E instantly revealed knowing smiles and began to cheer.
"oh!!"

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that it was Yuanlina, the leader of the CP pairing, who started it!
Yan Huan's face darkened, and the proctor's face turned as black as coal.
"Quiet!!"

After speaking, the teacher adjusted his glasses and looked at Yan Huan.

"Sakura-miya just handed in her paper early, saying she had something to do at home and needed to leave early."

"gone?"

"Well, and Yan, not to be mean, but even though this is the last subject, and I understand your excitement about summer vacation, but..."

"Look! Vice President Sakuramiya is downstairs, running!" Downstairs?!

"Hey, Yan, where are you going?!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's expression changed slightly, and she immediately turned and ran towards the courtyard.

The moment Yan Huan turned to chase after Sakura Miyako, the entire Class E erupted in excitement.

Wow! The student council president went after him!!

"Could it be a confession?!"

"Or is it about the invitation to the high table dinner ball?!"

"Isn't that just a confession?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in Class E slammed their papers down and rushed to the window overlooking the building, eager to see what was going on.

"You! Get back to your seats right now!! Or else..."

The teacher was still raging on the podium, but everyone in Class E was completely captivated by what was happening below, unable to look away.

Because, just as Yan Huan ran down, Sakura Miyako, who was ahead and wearing a princess dress, turned around, smiled, nodded, and called out,

"President, hehe, come and pursue me!"

She guessed that she knew the location of her barrier!?
Behind her, Yan Huan dashed off like an arrow.
"Sakuramiya!!"

That shout elicited cheers from Class E, who began speculating about what had happened between the two of them.

"Huh?! What does Vice President Sakuramiya mean by this?!"

"So this really is a test for confessing my feelings?!"

"Ugh! If you just catch up to me, you'll agree to confess your feelings?! That's so unfair!"

As he said this, a mischievous boy from Class E opened the window and shouted down at Yan Huan below.
"Go for it, President!! You absolutely have to win over the Vice President!!"

"Yes, keep it up!! We definitely want to see you lead the dance at the High Table Gala!!"

"come on!!"

This one sentence immediately drew the attention of the entire first-year class.

Upon hearing that it was about Yan Huan and Sakura Mitsuhime, the high table ball, and their dance partners, the other classes, driven by their gossipy nature, got up and went to the window.

"Ah!! It really is the student council president!!"

"He's pursuing Vice President Sakuramiya!!"

Now, the entire first-year classroom was packed with people, who started raising their hands and shouting at Yan Huan.

"Quiet down! Go back to your seats!!"

No matter how much the teacher shouted, there was no way to punish everyone, especially since this situation had occurred in more than one classroom.

Having no other option, they went to the corridor to find the school leaders who were patrolling.

"Principal, look at these students!!"

"Oh? Such a thing has happened."

Hermes stroked his beard, his eyes turning serious, and asked,

Who are they looking at?

"It's President Yan Huan pursuing Vice President Sakura Miyako!"

"."

Hermes paused for a second upon hearing the names Yan Huan and Sakura Mitsuhime.

He then turned around and patted the proctor on the shoulder.

"Let him finish pursuing her, don't worry about it."

"??"

Of course, it wasn't just the proctors who were puzzled and distressed.

Also, there's Bai Yi from Class B of the first year.

"Don't push me! You're so mean!"

Many girls nearby were thrilled by the romantic scene of the boy chasing the girl, and they clung to the window, shouting "Go, President!" and "Go, Yan Huan!"

But these words were incredibly harsh to Bai Yi. She squeezed her way to the window and watched Yan Huan chasing after Ying Gongtong. As the distance between them closed, she panicked.

"Yan Huan, ahhhhh! Stop chasing me!!"

As soon as she said that, everyone in Class B looked at her.

Bai Yi, who had been puffing up in anger and turned into a pink pufferfish, suddenly froze slightly.

She lowered her head awkwardly, burying it further, but still held up her small fist and continued softly,
"You're not allowed to chase after them."

"."

But some people in Class C weren't as shy as her.

"Yan Huan, come on!!"

Spencer stomped on the table and roared, his shout immediately silencing the students gathered around the window who had to cover their ears.

Meanwhile, Anle covered her ears, glanced helplessly at Spencer, and asked,
"Wait a minute, Spencer, do you...do you even know what Xiao Huan is doing? Just keep it up!"

"Huh? This isn't a running race, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Spencer turned around in a daze and looked at Anle.

"."

Anle didn't know what to say, so she covered her face and whispered,

"Ugh, you're such an idiot!"

Spencer watched as all his classmates, including the proctor, left the room. His eyes darted around, and he quickly sat down and picked up his exam paper.

"What are you babbling about? Let me compare answers with you!"

Compared to the first-year students, the second-year students were a bit further away, but they could still hear what was happening in the first-year students' area.

They were just puzzled, but didn't dare get up to see what was happening outside.

Only Ye Shiyu vaguely heard the words "Yan Huan, keep going!" and turned to look out the window.

She happened to be sitting by the window.

Upon closer inspection, they saw Sakura Miyako and Yan Huan running ahead and chasing behind, under the watchful eyes of the entire school.

"Snapped!"

Her eyes narrowed, and she slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Hey, Ye, what are you doing?"

Just as the proctor was about to give a reminder, Ye Shiyu suddenly turned her head and gave him a blank look.

That one glance actually rendered the proctor speechless.
He couldn't utter another word.

Below, Yan Huan, watching Sakura Miyabi gradually close the distance, finally couldn't help but speak.

"Sakuramiya!!"

She ran so fast; with the barrier's enhancement, she was like someone with a cheat code, making it difficult for Yan Huan to catch up.

But it will happen soon.
"Boom boom boom!!"

Just as Yan Huan was about to make a final sprint and grab Sakura, a sudden gust of wind came from above.

Yan Huan was chased by the strong wind, his clothes were in disarray, and even the muscles on his face were slightly deformed, causing him to subconsciously cover his face.

"what?!"

"It's a helicopter?!"

"No way. This works?!"

Behind them, the students in the teaching building exclaimed in surprise.

Yan Huan looked up in disbelief and saw Sakura Miyako turn around and smile slightly at her.

She had already grasped the rope lowered from the helicopter; with just a gentle pull, she would be lifted off the ground.
"I'm sorry, President."

"Sakuramiya. No, I should call you Perfect Sakuramiya, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sakuramiya remained noncommittal, only saying,
"Therefore, I won't give you, Chairman, the chance to enter the barrier. Before the High Table Party, I won't even go home; I'll just take this plane directly to the party venue."

"."

Seeing Yan Huan clench her fists, she turned around, grabbed the rope, and slowly ascended into the helicopter.

Instead of immediately getting into the helicopter, she took out a pre-prepared box from it.

It also has a bright red rose on it.

"Here, Chairman!"

She threw the box off the helicopter, and Yan Huan caught it but didn't feel it was very heavy.

Looking down and opening it, I was surprised to find a very luxurious black formal suit lying inside.

"."

Yan Huan frowned and looked up at Sakura Palace.

She smiled slightly and said loudly to Yan Huan,

"President, I'll be waiting for you at the high table banquet in two days!!"

"Waiting for you. Our first dance together!!!"

Perhaps due to the power of the barrier, her shouts, delivered with all her might, faintly reached the teaching building.

Upon hearing this, the entire teaching building erupted in excitement once again.

"I agree!!"

"The vice president agreed!!!"

The entire school's teachers and students, who were peering out the window, were even more excited than Yan Huan, and they collectively popped open champagne.

of course
Red and warm cypress memories.
Ye Shiyu with a cold face
Anle with squinting eyes
Spencer is checking the answers.
Absolutely not!!
"Boom boom boom!!"

As soon as Hitomi Sakura finished speaking, the helicopter in mid-air climbed up again and flew into the sky.

On the ground, Yan Huan was slightly out of breath, clutching her obviously high-end custom-made suit tightly, and took a deep breath.

"."

He rubbed his temples and turned around.
Then he saw the elders from his hometown of Totsuki peering at him through the windows of the entire teaching building.

"Congratulations!! Guild Master!!!"

"Congratulations!!"

"Snap, snap, snap!!"

In an instant, cheers and applause erupted and lasted for a long time.

Upon hearing the thunderous applause, Yan Huan's face darkened.
