This coaching is not right.

Ito Sawa stood at the office door, his hand on the doorknob, ready to push the door open and enter.

He gently pushed open the door, his eyes quickly scanning the office interior, trying to catch any useful information.

The office was dimly lit, lacking natural light, as if shrouded in shadow.

The faint light from opening the door was almost the only source of light, making the interior scene even more hazy and indistinct.

Sakagami-sensei's figure was not in sight; he seemed to be completely hidden in the darkness, leaving no trace.

Ito Sawa's intuition told him that something was wrong, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

He didn't rush in, but stopped and turned to Kanzaki, saying, "Kanzaki, use your mental power to test if Sakagami-sensei is still inside."

Kanzaki nodded, his gaze becoming focused. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate his mental energy, trying to sense the situation inside the office.

A moment later, Kanzaki opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly. "I can feel it, Sakagami-sensei's mental fluctuations. He's inside. But..." His voice held a hint of hesitation, "His mental fluctuations are a bit strange, they seem very weak, not like a normal state."

Ito Sawa pondered for a moment, then made a bold suggestion: "Kanzaki, try attacking and see if you can find out what's going on inside."

Kanzaki nodded, concentrating his mind to unleash his ability for an attack. Although his ability wasn't a direct physical attack, the impact of his mental energy could sometimes produce unexpected results.

However, when his mental energy shockwave entered the office, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response whatsoever.

Kanzaki frowned. He tried several more times, but the result was still the same.

Each attack was absorbed by an invisible black hole, without causing any ripples.

This made Kanzaki think that Sakagami-sensei was likely a psychic, and that his abilities might be related to mental defense or absorption.

“It seems my attack had no effect on him,” Kanzaki said to Ito Sawa. “His mental strength is probably very powerful, capable of absorbing or defending against my mental attacks. It feels similar to your superpower.”

Ito Sawa frowned, a hint of suspicion creeping into his mind. Could it be that the ultimate form of his ability was to expand the chessboard of his mental sea into a domain?

However, he didn't have time to think about that right now; what he should be thinking about now is how to find out what's going on here.

At this moment, Shibata stepped forward and volunteered, saying, "Let me go in and take a look. I'm physically stronger, and if he's mentally stronger, he shouldn't be able to defend against my attack."

Ito Sawa hesitated for a moment. Kamuro's physical condition was probably not bad either, but he was still left looking disheveled.

Shibata's idea was too naive.

However, he eventually agreed.

After all, they need more information to judge the situation, and Shibata's probing might provide the answer.

"Be careful, if anything seems wrong, get out immediately."

Shibata nodded, took a deep breath to compose himself, and then cautiously walked into the office.

His body tensed, ready to respond to any possible situation. However, just like Kanzaki's mental attack, after Shibata went in, there was no response; his presence seemed to have vanished without a trace.

The students outside began to feel anxious; they had no idea what was happening inside the office.

Kanzaki frowned even more: "It seems we are facing some kind of closed-field ability, which can isolate external attacks and perception."

Just then, Ito Sawa sensed something. His perception seemed sharper than before; he could sense that Shibata was being restrained by something.

“Wait a minute,” Ito Sawa said, “Shibata seems to be restrained by something, and I think I can vaguely sense his presence.”

Kanzaki looked at Ito Sawa with some surprise: "You can actually sense abilities within enclosed areas? Your ability range has expanded, and it's even stabilized?"

Itō Sawa's expression was strange; he had a rough idea of ​​why his ability range had expanded. It was probably due to Kanzaki's psychic abilities "feeding" him, which had unknowingly enhanced his powers.

However, he didn't intend to tell Kanzaki this secret, but simply nodded mysteriously.

"Yes, so I can roughly sense the changes in the field. Therefore, we can't give up yet. We have to think of a way to break this field and rescue Shibata-kun."
