This coaching is not right.

Soon, the following days were uneventful. He would occasionally go to the library to read books and attend classes as usual. However, after that incident, Ichinose became much closer to him.

Her special ability did return. Ito Sawa tried it and found that she could still absorb and guide it. However, due to that lesson, he rarely activated her aura anymore. After all, who knows if it's a one-time thing or cumulative?

However, Ichinose did have some thoughts about her own power activating, but she didn't say anything, and Ito Sawa didn't ask either.

......

Soon, the first month passed, and the first school assessment officially ended.

That day, Ms. Hoshinomiya walked into Class B's classroom with an excited expression. Her steps were light, and her face was filled with a satisfied smile.

"Classmates," Hoshinomiya-sensei's voice echoed in the classroom, "I'm here to announce the results of the first assessment."

The students in Class B immediately perked up their ears. Although they had already guessed their class's results, hearing the official results was always exciting.

"Class B completed the assessment first," Teacher Hoshinomiya announced, "and each student will be rewarded with 2,000 energy stones. Class C will be next, with each student receiving 1,000 energy stones. Class A will be next, with each student receiving 500 energy stones. Class D failed to complete the assessment, and each student will have 1,000 energy stones deducted from their score."

Her words revealed a childlike excitement, as if she herself were one of the participants.

The students in Class B cheered immediately upon hearing the news. However, their cheers were largely due to the increase in energy stones; after all, their first-place finish was something they had already anticipated.

Kanzaki and Ito Sawa were not surprised that their class had won first place in the assessment; they had full confidence in their abilities and hard work.

However, to their surprise, Class A also passed the assessment.

Ito Sawa was particularly curious about how Class A had passed the assessment, because they hadn't seemed to have shown any particularly outstanding performance in recent days.

"I really didn't expect that Class A would also pass the test," Kanzaki said with a hint of curiosity in his voice as he discussed with Itosawa and Ichinose after class.

Ito Sawa nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Yes, although Amanohashimoto has been harassing Ayakura these past few days, we've managed to defend against him every time. Ayakura has never told him anything."

These days, Hashimoto continues to harass Amakura relentlessly, but each time he is driven away. Watanabe is the most persistent among them, and everyone knows Watanabe's feelings for Amakura. However, Amakura has not made any further moves, and no one has stirred things up further.

Only Ichinose and Itosawa knew the reason behind this, and they sighed inwardly at Watanabe's arduous journey to success.

Ichinose was able to get help from Amakura, who told her about her troubles, while Ito Sawa had simply read the script.

“However, Class A must have their reasons for passing the test,” Ito Sawa continued. “We must find out the reason, otherwise we’ll regret it if something more important gets leaked next time.”

In the original story, Class B was the most united, and given that he had secretly warned them, it was impossible for anyone to leak the information. Could it be...?

Although it was very wrong of him, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Kanzaki.

Kanzaki didn't notice the look he was getting, because he was also puzzled.

She had confidently made a bet with Sakayanagi, believing that she would definitely not be able to find out about Hoshinomiya-sensei's special ability from the students in Class B, but unexpectedly, Class A still won.

However, he had a vague suspicion that the person who leaked the information might not be someone from his class.

If the person who leaked the information was a student, Sakayanagi would have already come to make him fulfill his promise.

"If it's not a student, then who could it be?" Kanzaki pondered silently.

He thought of Hoshinomiya-sensei, but her ability didn't seem like it would be broken by Hashimoto.

Hoshinomiya-sensei's special ability, "Charm Domination," is a charm-based ability with the strongest infectious power, so it shouldn't have been so easily surpassed by Hashimoto.

Kanzaki was secretly puzzled, but he didn't voice his thoughts, only offering a simple reminder.

"Perhaps we've overlooked something."

Seeing his thoughtful reaction, Ito Sawa nodded in agreement: "We do need to think about it more carefully; there may be some details we haven't noticed."

If he did it, his reaction wouldn't be so natural. While we can't completely believe it, we can at least increase our level of belief a little.

Ichinose added, "That's right, we need to find out the real reason." Then she fell into a dilemma, "But how do we find it?"
