Ms. Hoshinomiya stood at the front of the classroom, her gaze sweeping over the entire class. After confirming that everyone was awake and had accepted the school's arrangements, she slowly announced the content of the first assessment: "Students, your first task is to use your abilities to convince Ms. Sakagami of Class C that you can drain the water from the school's swimming pool."

A murmur of disdain immediately arose in the classroom. Some students even chuckled, thinking the task was too easy and a piece of cake for them.

They were full of confidence, believing that even without superpowers, draining a swimming pool would be a piece of cake, not to mention that many people now knew about their superpowers.

Ms. Hoshinomiya smiled without saying a word at the students' reactions, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

She didn't say much, but gave the students a meaningful look. There seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude on her face, as if she were anticipating their reaction.

"Since you think it's easy, then finish it as soon as possible, and it would be best if you could finish faster than Class A."

After saying this, Ms. Hoshinomiya turned gracefully and left the classroom.

As Ms. Hoshinomiya left the classroom, the atmosphere became even more lively. The students gathered in small groups, discussing their plans and strategies.

Some people are already eager to show off their abilities, while others are thinking about how to complete the task more effectively.

Ito Sawa sat in his seat, his brow slightly furrowed. He sensed that this task was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Hoshinomiya-sensei's expression made him realize that this task might hide some difficulties that they had not yet noticed.

As Hoshinomiya-sensei's footsteps faded into the distance, Ichinose Honami stood up and slowly began to speak.

"Classmates, before we begin preparing for our task, I think it's necessary for us to get to know each other first."

After all, some students may not yet be aware of their special abilities. Only by understanding everyone's abilities can we select the most suitable person to complete the task of draining the pool.

The atmosphere in the classroom became serious because of her words. A boy immediately stood up hastily: "My name is Shibata Hayate. I don't know what my special ability is called, but my balance ability is definitely a manifestation of a special ability."

I don't need anyone's help with drainage; I can handle it all by myself. No matter what tricks my opponent uses, I can easily deal with them.

Ichinose wasn't angry that he had contradicted her, but instead smiled at Shibata and said, "Shibata-kun, your confidence is commendable, but we are a class. Let's hear what everyone has to say before deciding how to proceed."

Influenced by Ichinose's words and affable aura, Shibata's attitude softened, and he sat down, indicating his willingness to follow instructions. The other students were also infected by Ichinose's friendliness and began to enthusiastically introduce themselves.

Ichinose then began to introduce herself: "My name is Ichinose Honami. Although the school is different from what I expected, I still look forward to making friends with everyone."

I'm not entirely sure what my special ability is, but I hope that those of us with strong abilities will step forward and lead our class.

Next was Ito Sawa. He stood up and said calmly, "Ito Sawa, I don't know much about my special ability either. I only know that it seems to be able to resist the influence of mental power, so I'll just introduce myself like this."

Then came Ryuji Kanzaki. He stood up and said calmly, "Ryuji Kanzaki, my ability can detect other people's mental energy."

He paused for a moment. In fact, he knew that his superpowers were far more than that, but he did not intend to reveal more.

He glanced at Ichinose with a hint of helplessness and continued, "Although I've considered whether or not to lead the team, after my testing, Ichinose's ability is the strongest in the class in terms of influencing others. If it's about leading the class, she's the most suitable candidate."

Ichinose was slightly taken aback when she heard Kanzaki's words: "Eh? Me? But I don't even know my own ability."

Seeing her reaction, Ito Sawa decided to do the same as Kanzaki and give Ichinose a push to lead the class as before.

After all, if the school's assessment now focuses on teamwork, then Ichinose's presence is very important.

"I agree with Kanzaki-san's point of view. Because even my special ability can't withstand Ichinose-san's affability."

Whether it's due to the power itself, or because the power amplifies Ichinose's kindness, having her lead the class is a good choice.

Shibata glanced at the situation on the field and quickly agreed, "Hmm, I think Ichinose-san is pretty good too, let's do it this way."

Even Chihiro Shiraha timidly spoke up from the side, "I, I agree too."

Ichinose was taken aback again. "Eh, Shiranami-kun, you, you also..."

The others, of course, didn't object either. After all, a small portion of them didn't even know what their own abilities were, and those who did know didn't have dominant abilities, so they couldn't very well recommend themselves. Besides, they didn't have a bad impression of Ichinose, so naturally they didn't object.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ichinose had no choice but to agree, "Alright, I agree, but you all have to help out."

Everyone naturally nodded in agreement.

Kanzaki, seeing that the matter was settled, turned his gaze to Shibata: "Shibata, if your description is correct, your ability may belong to the dynamic balance of the body system. If we're only considering reconnaissance, you are indeed the most suitable candidate. Because once discovered, you are the easiest to escape."

Hearing Kanzaki's words, Shibata proudly puffed out his chest, wishing he could set off right now.

However, Kanzaki quickly poured cold water on his enthusiasm: "But you probably have no idea how to use your ability. The actual way to use your ability is to achieve dynamic balance in the least effort way, not to simply use it to maintain balance as you deliberately do."

Shibata barely understood Kanzaki's explanation, and he immediately stood up, wanting to try it out on the spot.

He closed his eyes, trying to feel the power within his body, wanting to adjust his state as Kanzaki had instructed.

However, the result was not as expected; his body swayed and he almost fell over.

If his body hadn't instinctively maintained its balance, he might have fallen badly.

Kanzaki looked at Shibata's attempt and couldn't help but facepalm. He realized that Shibata might not have fully understood his words, or he might not have been able to apply them skillfully yet.

Kanzaki gave up on continuing to teach him. He sighed and said to Shibata, "Forget it, just do what you think is right. Your ability may need to be explored gradually through practical application."

Shibata looked somewhat dejected, but he quickly composed himself and nodded: "Alright, I'll do my best in the mission."

The other students in the class also shared their special abilities and ideas, while Ichinose diligently recorded and organized them.

Finally, everyone introduced themselves, and Ichinose finished recording. However, some people were still unwilling to reveal their special abilities, but Ichinose did not force them.

And some people had no idea what their special abilities were, which made them somewhat frustrated.

A thoughtful glint appeared in Ichinose's eyes as she suddenly posed a question: "Since Kanzaki-san has investigated everyone, could you tell us about the other people's abilities?"

This question heightened the atmosphere in the class, and those who were unaware of their own abilities all turned their attention to Kanzaki.

Kanzaki shrugged, indicating that he was powerless to help.

He explained simply: "Superpowers are mainly divided into six categories: mind, body, object, spirit, brain, and a special category of spacetime."

My ability is limited to identifying the broad categories they belong to, but the problem is that each category has so many subcategories that I simply can't distinguish which ones they belong to specifically.

He continued, "The only thing we can tell is that there don't seem to be any material-type ability users in our class. Otherwise, whether it's controlling elements or creating objects, it would be obvious and easy to identify."

Hearing Kanzaki's explanation, Ichinose and the other classmates seemed somewhat disappointed, but they quickly composed themselves. Ichinose nodded, indicating his understanding: "In that case, we'll have to give up on learning the details of everyone's abilities in advance and decide to focus on completing the task at hand."

She turned to Shibata and said encouragingly, "Shibata-kun, I'm counting on you this afternoon. We'll support you from behind, and we hope you can find out something useful at the swimming pool."

Upon hearing Ichinose's words, Shibata quickly straightened his back and firmly replied, "I will do my best, everyone can rest assured."
