This coaching is not right.

The news was indeed false, but in the tense atmosphere, Itosawa and Ichinose's teamwork seemed flawless.

After hearing Itosawa's words, Ichinose was briefly stunned, but Itosawa's step to the left blocked Nagumo Masaru's view, buying her precious time.

When Nagumo Masa adjusted her posture and could see Ichinose's expression again, she quickly changed her own expression and pretended to be angry.

Meanwhile, Ito Sawa's mental energy was like a taut bowstring. He frantically poured his mental energy into Ichinose, his brain working at lightning speed, trying to direct her aura toward stability.

He knew that the farther away they were, the more difficult it would be to control them, so he kept praying that someone would run into them soon.

But so far, Ichinose's aura has not touched anyone, and he must continue to carefully maintain this state.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Ito Sawa's forehead, his heart was racing, and his mental energy was like thin threads connecting him and Ichinose. He had to precisely control the tension of each thread to prevent the aura from going out of control.

Fortunately, he could use his anger to cover up his disheveled state, which prevented Nan Yunya from noticing anything amiss.

Ichinose noticed Itosawa's movements and, recalling their discussion that morning, understood what Itosawa was doing.

Her body trembled slightly, but she tried to remain calm.

She knew that Ito Sawa was using his abilities to help her, and she couldn't let his efforts go to waste.

So she took a step forward, diverting Nanono Masako's attention away from Ito Sawa.

Her expression was angry and resolute: "Vice President Nagumo, we will not give you the application."

Nagumo Masaru frowned as he faced Ichinose's resolute stance. He could sense Ichinose's anger, but his intuition told him that things were not simple.

His gaze darted back and forth between Itosawa and Ichinose, trying to find a weakness.

Ito Sawa felt his mental energy becoming increasingly difficult to control, and a sense of urgency welled up within him. He knew that if he couldn't end this standoff quickly, his mental energy might spiral out of control, and Ichinose's aura might be exposed. He had to come up with a new strategy as soon as possible.

Just as Ito Sawa felt his mental strength was about to give out and Ichinose's special ability was about to go out of control, Tachibana-senpai appeared at the office door.

Her special ability is mimicry, which makes her exceptionally sensitive to the aura of different special abilities.

So when she got downstairs, she noticed Ichinose's aura and quickly determined that it was Ichinose's special ability.

Looking up at the building, I confirmed the direction of the escaping debris and quickly realized that something had happened in the student council office.

So she rushed over, her steps revealing a hint of urgency.

Both Ito Sawa and Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Tachibana-senpai's voice.

Ito Sawa quickly withdrew his mental energy; his body swayed slightly, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Ichinose also sensed that the fluctuations of her supernatural power were weakening, and her aura began to slowly recede.

Nan Yunya's expression changed slightly. He knew that Ju-senpai's arrival meant his plan might fall through. He quickly adjusted his expression, adopting an innocent look.

As soon as Tachibana-senpai entered, she nervously grabbed Ichinose's hand, her expression full of worry: "Ichinose, are you alright? I heard that Vice President Nagumo is here..."

Nan Yunya chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in his voice: "Does Senior really think my methods are that low-level?"

Although she didn't know how she was seen through, since Ito Sawa and the others had already figured out her stance, Nagumo Masako naturally didn't need to pretend anymore.

His attitude became direct and provocative. He looked at Ito Sawa and asked his name: "What's your name?"

Ito Sawa casually introduced himself: "I am Ito Sawa." Nan Yunya chuckled, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "Ito Sawa, I'll remember you."

Tachibana-senpai turned to Ito Sawa and interrupted their conversation, "What are you here for?"

Ito Sawa said calmly, “We came to submit our application, but Vice President Nagumo said that none of you are available and suggested that we give the application to him instead.”

Senior Tachibana turned her gaze to Nan Yunya, her eyes filled with anger: "Nan Yunya, you even lied to a first-year student?"

Nan Yunya shrugged, his expression relaxed: "I just wanted to help. Now that Senior Tachibana is here, I'll leave it to you."

Senior Tachibana looked at his nonchalant attitude, her face turning ashen, and then turned to Ito Sawa and Ichinose: "Give me the application form, I'll handle it. As for that person, he'd better leave as soon as possible."

Ichinose quickly handed the application to Tachibana-senpai, a grateful smile on her face: "Thank you, Tachibana-senpai."

Ito Sawa also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that with Tachibana-senpai's intervention, they were safe for the time being.

He nodded to Senior Tachibana: "Thank you, Senior Tachibana."

Senior Ju smiled as she accepted the application, her eyes filled with comfort: "You're welcome, it's my duty. I will review your applications as soon as possible."

Nan Yunya stood up and dusted off her clothes: "Since Senior Ju is here, I'll be leaving now."

After Nagumo Masaru left, Tachibana-senpai breathed a sigh of relief, her expression turning unusually serious. She turned to Ito Sawa and Ichinose, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "You two need to be especially careful to stay away from Nagumo Masaru. He's not as simple as he seems on the surface; he's dangerous. I don't recommend you get involved with him until the student council president has dealt with him."

Ito Sawa remained silent, his mind blank.

Tachibana-senpai probably never imagined that Horikita-senpai would completely ignore Nagumo Masaru's threats.

In the original work, Horikita Manabu's restriction on Nangumo Masaru was merely a casual act and he didn't really take it to heart.

If Horikita Manabu is truly worried about the high school education under Nagumo Masaru's rule, he should be more proactive in helping the first-year students deal with Nagumo Masaru's threat.

Ito Sawa knew that Horikita Manabu had many ways to better resolve the issue. He could use his influence to give Kiriyama a push, or approach Ichinose, who had been brought in by Nagumo Masaru, earlier and more proactively, or push his younger sister forward sooner to provide Ayanokouji with some buffer space.

These actions can effectively counter Nagumo Masaru's power, instead of pushing all the problems onto Ayanokoji.

Horikita Manabu also played a significant role in enabling Nagumo Masaru to wield absolute power and become virtually untouchable by deus ex machina.

He misjudged Ayanokouji's determination to fight against Nagumo Masaru, and also misjudged Kiriyama. Horikita Manabu mistakenly believed that Kiriyama joined the student council because he admired him, and thought that Kiriyama would be a staunch ally against Nagumo Masaru.

However, Kiriyama's real reason for joining the student council was his thirst for victory and his willingness to achieve it by any means necessary. He was willing to side with Horikita Manabu, hoping to defeat Nagumo Masashi through Horikita's power. But Horikita Manabu was unwilling to support Kiriyama with his own strength, and Ayanokouji, as Horikita Manabu's proxy, had no intention of overthrowing Nagumo Masashi. Under these circumstances, Kiriyama's chances of successfully confronting Nagumo Masashi were almost nil.

Therefore, Kiriyama eventually accepted Nagumo Masaya's offer of a ticket to Class A and sided with her.

Horikita Manabu's decisions deprived those who opposed Nagumo Masako of any space to resist, and he eventually subdued them one by one.

Ichinose listened intently to Tachibana-senpai's words, her eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Tachibana-senpai, we'll be careful. We won't act rashly."

Senior Ju nodded, a hint of approval in her eyes: "Very good, you must always be vigilant. Things at school are not as simple as they seem, especially within the student council."

Itosawa and Ichinose both nodded, understanding the deeper meaning behind Tachibana-senpai's words. They needed to be more careful in handling their relationship with the student council, especially when dealing with someone like Nagumo Masaru.

Looking at the two of them, Senior Ju added, "If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to me anytime. I will do my best to help."
