This coaching is not right.

Teacher Haneda's spiritual power had entered Ito Sawa's mental sea. Ito Sawa temporarily put aside his speculations about the details and began to think about what details to set next.

He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "The detailed rules for the major categories have already been mostly divided up. It seems we should start thinking about the minor categories."

"Judging from the points lost this time, once both sides find ways to avoid certain groups, the cost to the larger groups is actually not much. At most, it's just a matter of who monopolizes the most essential groups. I blocked the solo groups and groups of six or more. As for the two-person and three-person groups, unless she comes up with some new tricks, it won't be a big deal even if she completely monopolizes them. The only ones that can really confuse the group are the smaller categories. Moreover, after I restricted the solo groups, the smaller categories that prohibit team play actually scored more points."

He closed his eyes slightly and quickly organized his thoughts.

He quickly made up his mind and told Haneda-sensei, "Sakagami-sensei and Chabashira-sensei are prohibited from teaming up with anyone else."

As for why he didn't just ban it together with all four teachers.

On the one hand, out of fear that the rules have not yet been fully revealed, they will try to minimize the number of teachers from their own class forming teams, and naturally they should not choose their own class's homeroom teacher to waste this opportunity.

The opposing class's homeroom teacher only allows him to form multiple teams, so setting this up would only backfire on him.

However, from another perspective, it is easier for teachers to harm the scores of others in their own classes, but it is also necessary to prevent them from being taken over by Sakayanagi.

Therefore, before making a choice, he must first confirm that Sakayanagi has not set up this subcategory.

Teacher Haneda nodded slightly and said softly, "Understood, Ito Sawa. I will write it down."

Ito Sawa smiled slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Professor Haneda."

The illusory image of Teacher Haneda nodded slightly and slowly withdrew from Ito Sawa's mental sea. Ito Sawa closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down.

On the other side, Sakayanagi sat in the central room, his eyes slightly closed, quickly reviewing the group assignments and results from the previous round.

She nodded slightly, thinking to herself, "I have basically grasped the details of Ito Sawa's rules. Even if there are one or two more rules in this round, they won't be of much harm to me. In fact, to prevent being harmed too much by the new rules, she should finish this quickly."

She slightly opened her eyes and said softly, "The first group, distribute them according to 1, 9, 4." Her voice was calm, and her eyes were focused.

This way, on the one hand, we can test whether Ito Sawa has set up a four-person team to determine whether we should set up a four-person team in the next round. On the other hand, there is not much difference between a nine-person team and a thirteen-person team, so it will not cause any loss of other points.

She slightly raised her hand and pointed at Gui Tou: "Gui Tou, you're in a group alone." Then, she pointed to the four teachers: "The four teachers are in a group." Finally, she pointed to the remaining nine students: "The remaining nine students are in a group."

Upon hearing Sakayanagi's instructions, everyone quickly took their positions as directed.

Everyone stood at attention, waiting for the news to be broadcast.

Soon after, Mr. Machida's voice came over the loudspeaker: "The results of this round of the game are announced. Ichinose, Hashimoto, Katsuragi, and Amakura have been 'eliminated'." The voice echoed in the room, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

After hearing the broadcast results, Ichinose, Hashimoto, Katsuragi, and Amakura nodded slightly, walked to the door, and stood there, waiting for the game to end.

On the screen outside the room, the names of Ichinose, Hashimoto, Katsuragi, Amakura, and Kito were marked in red, while the names of the other five students were marked in green.

The names of Majima-sensei and Chabashira-sensei are marked in green, while the names of Hoshinomiya-sensei and Sakagami-sensei are marked in red.

The names of the four people who were "killed" gradually faded and eventually blended into the background of the screen.

Seeing the familiar group assignments, the members of Class A knew this would be another quick round. Usually, these rounds resulted in fewer point deductions, so the members of Class A, especially those from the Sakayanagi faction, became increasingly smug, their eyes filled with provocation as they looked at Class B. However, the members of Class B remained unfazed, leaving the members of Class A thoroughly bored.

Shigeru Takemoto could only look smugly at Yahiko Totsuka, making him grit his teeth in anger.

Inside the room, Sakayanagi continued to assign groups, placing Kito in the final settlement group: "Kito and the remaining five students are in one group, and the four teachers remain in another group."

Everyone quickly adjusted their positions. Gui Tou stood with the five innocent people, nodding slightly, their eyes focused. The four teachers also quickly formed a group.

The broadcast came over the loudspeaker again: "The results of this round are announced. Kito has been eliminated. This round is over." The voice echoed in the room, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
