This coaching is not right.

With Ito Sawa's actions, he quickly broke through layers of formations and entered the true core of Majima-sensei's territory.

Looking at Ito Sawa who appeared before him, Majima-sensei said with admiration, "Ito Sawa, breaking through thirty formations in a row, your mental power manipulation skills really amaze me."

Ito Sawa showed no arrogance whatsoever, responding calmly, "Mr. Mashima, you flatter me. If it were truly about breaking the formation, my mental strength would be far from sufficient. I've merely entered the formation. If Mr. Mashima doesn't let me leave, I'd be like a lamb entering a tiger's den." His voice was humble, yet his words revealed unwavering confidence.

Mr. Majima didn't seem to care.

After all, to be able to do something like this at this age, even if it's done by trickery, is something to be proud of.

So he ignored what Ito Sawa was about to say and asked about taking on a disciple again.

“Ito Sawa previously asked you to be my apprentice, but you didn’t agree. Now, I’ll ask you one more time: are you willing to become my apprentice? I can teach you more techniques about mental power, or whatever other benefits you want, as long as I can do it, I will agree to it. Even getting into Class A, I’m willing to try my best.” His eyes were filled with eagerness as he stared intently at Ito Sawa.

Ito Sawa was taken aback. Before deciding which side to stand on, he did not intend to stand firmly on one side.

That's why we didn't rush to respond to Majima's offer to take on a disciple.

But I didn’t expect Majima-sensei to be so enthusiastic about this. This is the third time, including the previous two times. This time, he even offered so many conditions that are enough to attract the vast majority of people.

To use the same excuses again this time would be extremely disrespectful.

He remained silent for a while, but ultimately did not respond directly. Instead, he steered the conversation toward Chairman Sakayanagi: "I am very grateful for Mashima-sensei's high regard for me, but there is something more important than taking me on as a disciple."

Majima-sensei could naturally tell that he didn't want to agree now, but compared to before, he could see that he was at least hesitant.

As long as there is hesitation, it is a good start. He did not believe that with so many benefits, he could not sway a single student.

So he followed up on Ito Sawa's question, asking, "What important thing?"

"You must have noticed Chairman Sakayanagi's unusual behavior, right?"

"About Chairman Sakayanagi? Is there anything you want to say?" His voice was filled with curiosity, as if he was guessing what the chairman might say.

Ito Sawa nodded slightly and said softly, "I suspect that the current chairman of Sakayanagi is a fake."

Majima-sensei wasn't surprised: "Oh? Why would you think that?"

Ito Sawa smiled slightly: "Professor Mashima isn't completely ignorant, is he? Given Chairman Sakayanagi's style, would he encourage me to do this? I'm afraid he'd scold me first, like you're doing now."

Professor Majima remained noncommittal: "That's an interesting speculation, but isn't that enough?"

Seeing that Majima-sensei wasn't so easily convinced, Itōsawa decided to replicate Ayanokoji's successful experience and present his speculation as fact.

"If I were to say that the person behind all this—the one who placed Chairman Sakayanagi under house arrest, and even found someone to impersonate him and twist the rules—is ultimately me, Mr. Mashima, what would you think?"

Ms. Majima paused for a moment, her expression turning to surprise: "What?"

Ito Sawa smiled mysteriously: "Before I start my discussion, please don't stop your accusations about being mentally overseas, Majima-sensei. That way, my pause won't be so noticeable."

Just as the criticism from those overseas seemed to be subsiding, Majima-sensei interrupted: "Ito Sawa! Were you even listening to me?! Don't you even realize what you did wrong?! Do you know how dangerous what just happened was?...!"

Meanwhile, within his mental realm, Ito Sawa finally began his statement: "Mr. Mashima, have you noticed that the rounds of the assessment have changed?"

Ms. Majima frowned slightly. "What did you say?"

Ito Sawa wasn't in a hurry, but repeated, "Mashima-sensei, think about it again. How many rounds of assessment were there in the very first round?"

Mr. Mashima felt something was strange. Weren't there always sixteen rounds of assessments? What was so strange about it?

But at Itosawa's insistence, he began to carefully recall what had happened not long ago, and even the last time he played the doctor game.

Now he finally realized that something was wrong.

The doctor game in the last assessment used ten rounds, and the rules weren't that complicated. Even the doctor game before that wasn't that complicated.

There was no prior notice for this assessment; why have things changed so much all of a sudden?

Moreover, no one found it strange.

Now he finally got serious: "What do you know?"

"As I said, the person behind this has made so many changes in order to test me and hopefully see through my true nature."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Majima's expression darkened: "If what you say is true, the person behind this is indeed despicable. Such wanton manipulation of the rules completely disregards the fairness of the school."

He clenched his fists, clearly disgusted by the behavior.

Sure enough, affecting the fairness of the school and even endangering the students had crossed his bottom line.

Ito Sawa continued, "Not only that, but the way that 'Chairman Sakayanagi' cares about this room is also extremely unusual. He completely disregards the safety of the Class A students who really need his attention, and all his focus is on me, the 'perpetrator.' All these signs are really suspicious."

Mr. Majima was silent for a moment. Of course, he was unwilling to admit that he would readily believe a student's words, but what Ito Sawa said was indeed reasonable.

Do you have any evidence to support your suspicions?

Ito Sawa shook his head frankly: "Indeed, the evidence is insufficient. But what I have seen and felt is enough to convince me of the conspiracy behind it."

Mr. Majima remained silent, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes. Finally, he said softly, "Even if the evidence is insufficient, what you've said is no small matter. School rules cannot be trampled upon, and the safety of the students is paramount."

He paused slightly, then his tone became firm: "Then, whatever you need my help with, I agree."

"After all, assessments should be stopped when they could threaten students' personal safety, and unfairness should be corrected. What kind of teacher is someone who can't even do what they teach their students?"

Hearing this, Ito Sawa breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that even as the world changes, Mr. Majima remains just as righteous in his hatred of evil.

So even if Mr. Majima doesn't fully believe it yet, that's enough for his plan.
