This coaching is not right.

When Hoshinomiya saw this, she walked over to Watanabe and whispered to him, "You need to learn to actively control the pace, instead of passively absorbing information."

Watanabe wiped the sweat from his forehead, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Teacher, what should I do?"

Teacher Hoshinomiya smiled and replied, "You'll have to figure that out for yourself. Or, your PE teacher is also a user of the Individual Prison ability; he defends much more easily than you. You can learn from him."

Watanabe nodded, having made up his mind.

On the other hand, Shibata and Ando need to work together to deal with a series of defensive physical abilities, including power absorption, steel bodies, and self-repair.

Shibata is competitive. Kanzaki originally planned to improve their teamwork and also saw through Ando's intentions, intending to help her. However, Shibata was completely unaware of this. He only intended to use this opportunity to compete with Ando and see who was better.

He had tried to compare himself to Ando before, but when it came to controlling their bodies, each had their own strengths.

If it came to deciding the winner through a fight, Shibata was too embarrassed to fight a girl, even though she seemed to be about the same strength as him.

Therefore, this training session became a great opportunity for a competition.

“Ando, ​​let’s have a contest and see who can break through their defenses first.” Shibata patted her shoulder with high spirits, showing no regard for the difference between men and women, his tone full of strong confidence: “I will definitely be better than you.”

Ando looked at his hand patting her shoulder, her face flushing slightly. Luckily, Shibata, that idiot, wouldn't notice such details, or she would have been mortified.

She quickly composed herself, took a deep breath, and made her voice sound more natural: "Okay, I accept your challenge. However, the loser has to agree to one condition that the loser can accept. Do you dare?"

Upon hearing Ando's challenge, Shibata's eyes shone even brighter, and his smile revealed brimming confidence. "Of course I dare, but Ando, ​​are you sure you want to do this? I won't hold back."

Seeing that he had agreed, Ando smiled gently, his face bursting with boundless fighting spirit: "Of course, I'm sure I'll win."

The air was thick with the tension of the duel. Shibata wore a confident smile, his eyes firm and fervent. Almost the instant Ando finished speaking, he rushed out impatiently.

However, just as he was about to face off against Haruto Yonezu, the power absorber, he paused slightly, his gaze quickly sweeping over the others on the field before finally settling on his opponent, Makoto Sumida, who possessed a body of steel.

He knew very well that he could counter Yonezu Haruto, just as Ando could counter Sumida Makoto.

So as long as he plays faster, I can win.

However, recalling Ando's unusually impulsive gaze just now, a trace of worry flashed through his mind for no apparent reason.

So, he subconsciously changed direction and charged towards Makoto Sumida.

She wanted to make Ando lose convincingly, yes, that's exactly it. It wasn't because she was worried about Ando getting hurt.

So what if he has a body of steel? As long as I work a little harder and make quicker judgments, I can beat him.

Shibata tried to find an excuse for himself and stood in front of Sumida Makoto under his astonished gaze.

Shibata couldn't fight Ando, ​​but he could beat up almost any boy. Kanzaki and Ito Sawa had humiliated him so badly that he naturally wouldn't actively seek out further beatings.

He can usually hold his own against most other opponents, and he can take them down when they're not paying attention.

But he had never beaten Makoto Sumida, not even after dozens of defiant attempts over the past month.

Ando noticed Shibata's actions and quickly guessed her thoughts, a hint of warmth and gratitude flashing in his eyes.

She's been spending a lot of time with Shibata these past month, how could she not know that he's no match for Sumida Makoto?

Although Shibata never let her watch him fight, she could always guess the outcome just by looking at his expression after each fight.

She smiled gently, said nothing more, and simply stood quietly in front of Haruto Yonezu, an opponent against whom she could not exert her advantages.

Shibata's voice was so loud that the surrounding classmates heard their bet. Now, seeing their coordinated actions, they exchanged a glance and instead of ganging up on each other, they quietly watched from the sidelines.

Ando Sayo stood opposite Yonezu Haruto, her gaze focused and calm.

The power absorbed is weaker than the power absorbed by the body, but it is still stronger than one's own. One's explosive power comes entirely from body control and adjustment, which is different from the overall power.

So the advantage is that when Ando fights him normally, he can't absorb much power from her, making Ando's superpower practically unusable. The bad news is that it's the same for her; although she's more agile than him, the difference in strength prevents her from defeating him. Ando secretly has a headache and resolves to find an opportunity to learn judo.

Ando Sayo's body slumped slightly, her steps were light and steady, and her movements were as graceful as a dance.

She began to move rapidly around her opponent, using her agility and speed to try and find the power absorber's blind spots.

His only chance of winning was to find the limits and gaps in his power absorption by familiarizing himself with his body.

Ultimately, power absorption also relies on body control; it's just that this aspect has been enhanced.

Ando Sayo's attacks were like a continuous stream of water, constantly changing angles and intensities, trying to find a loophole in the system.

Her punches and kicks were fast and precise, and she kept trying different spots.

However, despite Sayo Ando's swift and varied movements,

But Haruto Yonezu's body seemed like a bottomless pit.

Whenever her attack landed, he was always able to react in time, causing her attack power to be absorbed or deflected.

It seems that the power she absorbed was much more intelligent than she had imagined; it had developed into an almost instinctive form of control, making it impossible for her to launch a successful sneak attack, no matter how fast she was.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Sayo Ando's forehead. She realized that speed and agility alone were not enough to win. After a series of rapid attacks, she suddenly slowed down, trying one spot at a time, intending to find the real weakness.

Nevertheless, Yonezu always seemed to adapt to her attack patterns, maintaining composure and control throughout. While Ando's attacks were precise, the difference in strength made it difficult for her to inflict substantial damage on her opponent.

Each of her attacks felt like hitting cotton; the force was skillfully absorbed or neutralized by her opponent.

Shibata faced Makoto Sumida, his body tense, his muscles bulging beneath his clothes, revealing his strength.

His special ability—dynamic balance—combined with the learning he's undergone over the past month, allows him to maintain a stable balance of power and speed between himself and his opponents by subtly adjusting his strength and speed. Unfortunately, he simply cannot maintain perfect balance with his special ability.

Therefore, even though Shibata and Sumida Makoto were evenly matched, he could never break through Sumida Makoto's defense. His attacks seemed to hit an invisible wall, not only failing to cause damage but also being affected by the recoil. Sumida Makoto's counterattacks often interrupted his offensive rhythm.

If it weren't for his body's ability to dodge attacks and maintain balance under extreme conditions, he would have been in a much worse situation.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to dodge Makoto Sumida's attack. His formidable defense allowed him to attack without restraint, and his steel body was also difficult for others to withstand.

Although Ando had trained him for a month and could barely identify the maintenance point of the Steel Body, and that once the maintenance point was broken, Makoto Sumida would be unable to activate the Steel Body for a while, his judgment speed was far inferior to Ando's.

Whenever he was about to attack, the point of equilibrium shifted as the opponent's energy flowed, causing his attack to miss.

Watching Ando's smooth and effortless offensive, he suddenly felt somewhat frustrated.

He could see it clearly: Ando had learned everything he taught her very well, and the reason she hadn't won yet was entirely due to the difference in strength.

But what about yourself?

Ando taught him her knowledge with more care than he did, yet he grasped it so poorly that he couldn't even beat Sumida.

Of course, he couldn't possibly be completely oblivious to Ando's thoughts; it's just that he himself didn't have those thoughts at all.

So when Ando made that bet, he wanted to win it and then use it to shut Ando up when she put him in a difficult position later.

He knew Ando was a man of his word, and that Ando would keep his promises if they were his.

However, seeing myself in this state, and recalling Ando's meticulous guidance over the past month...

He suddenly didn't want to fight anymore.
