This coaching is not right.

Meanwhile, on Ito Sawa's side, they remained in their positions, quietly crouching in the corner of the library, monitoring Kamuro's every move.

However, Ito Sawa's attention was not entirely focused on Kamuroku. Instead, it was on the chessboard in his mental sea, which was shimmering with a bright green light.

Five minutes ago, a bright green chess piece appeared silently on the chessboard. As time went by, the piece began to glow brighter and brighter, indicating that the person behind it was constantly trying to break through with mental energy.

Ito Sawa raised an eyebrow slightly, realizing that someone was trying to influence them, but he did not take immediate action.

In Ito Sawa's mind, the emerald green chess piece grew brighter and brighter, and his mental energy continuously absorbed these impacts, transforming them into his own power.

Therefore, instead of rushing to stop the attack, he wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen his mental power.

However, he was not careless. He quickly and gently squeezed Ichinose's hand, and then let go.

This serves as a warning to her that others are also present.

The reason for choosing this method of transmitting information instead of speaking is to avoid any possible sound alerting the other party.

Ichinose felt the touch of Itosawa's hand, and her heart beat slightly faster.

When Ito Sawa glanced at her slightly to the side, she nodded slightly, indicating that she understood his hint. Ito Sawa then shifted his attention to both sides.

After Ito Sawa released her hand, a faint blush belatedly flashed across Ichinose's face.

This was the first time she had such contact with a boy.

Although she usually gets along well with boys, this direct physical intimacy still made her feel a novel tension and shyness.

Her heart was stirred by this unexpected hand-holding. For a moment, a strange feeling occupied her thoughts.

But she understood that what was important now was to monitor Class A's actions and be wary of the people behind them, so she quickly adjusted her emotions and regained her composure.

Unfortunately, Ito Sawa, who was keeping a close watch on the movements on both sides, did not notice the stunningly beautiful moment on Ichinose's face.

Just then, Kito, who had come out to help Hashimoto, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He decided to stop hiding and attack Itosawa and Ichinose directly. Hashimoto reluctantly stopped his futile mental attack and prepared to fight alongside Kito.

He knew that a direct confrontation might attract more attention, but in this situation, they seemed to have no better option.

As soon as Hashimoto stopped moving, Ito Sawa immediately realized that they were about to make a move.

He squeezed Ichinose's hand again, reminding her to be careful. This time, Ichinose reacted much more naturally, without showing the same disheveled state as before.

She nodded, indicating she was prepared for the impending conflict. Ito Sawa was ready to turn back and strike first.

His body tensed slightly, preparing to react the instant the demon launched its attack.

Therefore, when Kito threw a punch at Ito Sawa, Ito Sawa quickly sensed the movement and blocked the punch with his hand.

However, the strength of the demon head was beyond his expectations, and Ito Sawa couldn't help but take two steps back.

Ito Sawa lost his balance and almost fell to the ground. But he reacted quickly, shifting his weight backward to stabilize himself and avoid an embarrassing fall.

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes; he clearly hadn't anticipated the demon's power would be so great. He quickly adjusted his posture, stood up, and prepared to meet the demon's next attack.

Just then, Kamuro suddenly stopped reading, picked up the book, and rushed towards them, clearly having been prepared.

Itosawa reacted quickly, his mental power instantly activating and spreading out Ichinose's aura.

The spreading affinity took effect immediately, just like when Kanzaki was momentarily distracted during the first attempt. Kamuro and the approaching demon were also affected by the aura, their movements becoming sluggish. This brief moment of distraction gave Itosawa and Ichinose precious time. They quickly adjusted their positions, preparing for the impending battle.

Ito Sawa gently grasped Ichinose's hand again, this time to convey strength and confidence to her.

A resolute look flashed across Ichinose's face as she prepared to fight alongside Itosawa.

Just then, Shiina, who had gone to intercept them on the other side, also arrived, providing additional support for Itosawa and Ichinose.

Shiina quickly joined the battle, forming a solid defensive line together with Itōsawa and Ichinose.

Kito's expression turned somewhat grim. He knew that Sakayanagi had warned them that Professor Uchida Masaya of the library was a powerful and stubborn old man who treasured his books the most.

Therefore, they had to deal with Itosawa and Ichinose as quietly as possible, otherwise they wouldn't have had Hashimoto take action.

Their original plan was to rely on a surprise attack to quickly resolve the situation, so that they wouldn't have to worry about Mr. Uchida interfering.

However, the situation has changed; the target has become three people, and Ghost Head realizes that to finish the battle quickly, he must unleash his "ghost god".

Once released, it can greatly enhance his power in a short period of time.

However, such a release of power might impact the library and attract the attention of Professor Uchida, who will definitely hold them accountable.

Under this pressure, Kito hesitated. He knew that things would become complicated once Uchida-sensei got involved.

Professor Uchida is not only incredibly capable, but he also has an almost obsessive dedication to maintaining order in the library and protecting the books. Any threat to his books will be met with his ruthless retaliation.

Hashimoto realized this as well and prepared to take action together with Kito.

He knew that if the battle wasn't resolved quickly, Uchida-sensei's intervention would make the situation even more complicated.

Hashimoto and Kito exchanged a glance, both understanding that they had to end the fight as quickly as possible without attracting Uchida-sensei's attention.

Ito Sawa frowned as he quickly assessed the current situation. Although there were three of them, Shiina's abilities were unclear. While his attack power seemed decent, both he and Ichinose's abilities leaned towards the mental realm.

Although their mental strength was formidable, in hand-to-hand combat, even he, who had undergone rigorous training, was slightly inferior to Gui Tou.

Not to mention, Ito Sawa looked at his white gloves and wondered how terrifying he would be once the gloves were removed.

Itosawa worried that if a direct conflict were to occur, he might not be able to protect both Ichinose and Shiina at the same time.

His eyes scanned the library quickly, searching for possible solutions or items that could turn the tide.

He knew they needed a plan, a plan that could avoid direct conflict while still protecting their safety.

Ito Sawa whispered to Ichinose and Shiina, "We can't fight this head-on. We need a strategy." His voice was firm and calm, and despite his inner tension, he showed no sign of panic.

Ichinose and Shiina both nodded; they trusted Itosawa's judgment.

Shiina added in a low voice, "I can try to distract them, and we can find a chance to escape." She leaned forward slightly, ready to act at any moment.

The two sides remained deadlocked, each searching for the other's weakness while also considering their next move.

The atmosphere in the library became tense and oppressive, with everyone carefully calculating and trying to find the key to break the deadlock.

Ito Sawa knew they needed to exploit this stalemate to find an opportunity to escape or counterattack.

His spiritual energy spread around him, sensing every tiny movement and searching for any possible way out. He knew they didn't have much time; they had to act quickly.
