This coaching is not right.

Makoto Sumida noticed Kito's exhaustion, and a glint flashed in his eyes. He knew his chance had come; if he could seize it, he might be able to defeat Kito and win this point for Class B. He concentrated, preparing to launch his final attack.

However, just when Makoto Sumida thought he was about to win, Hayabusa Kito made an unexpected move.

He flung his white glove into the air, where it spun and traced a white path. Before the glove hit the ground, Kito Hayabusa unleashed his last strength and punched Sumida Makoto.

The force of that punch was immense; Makoto Sumida didn't even have time to react before he was blasted away. His body traced an arc in the air, flying straight off the stage. This time, Hayato Kito held nothing back; his attack was utterly resolute.

Makoto Sumida flew towards the audience below the stage; the situation was critical. The students of Class B below the stage gasped in alarm, worried that Makoto Sumida would be seriously injured by this attack.

However, at this critical moment, Mr. Sakagami acted swiftly, using his supernatural ability to summon a bunch of shadows and catch Makoto Sumida steadily.

Sakagami-sensei's shadows seemed to come alive; they moved nimbly, skillfully absorbing the impact on Sumida Makoto, allowing him to land safely on the ground.

Makoto Sumida felt a wave of dizziness, but he quickly regained his senses and realized that he was out of danger.

Kito caught the falling glove and put it back on. Sakagami-sensei announced Kito Hayabusa as the winner, and the students of Class A erupted in cheers.

Despite being exhausted, Kito Hayabusa successfully defended the ring, demonstrating his resilience and strength as the A-class defender.

Makoto Sumida stood up from the stands and bowed to Hayato Kito as a sign of respect for his opponent. Although he did not win the match, he was not disappointed with his performance.

He knew he had done his best and had learned a lot from the competition.

The students from Class B gathered around, comforting Makoto Sumida and expressing their gratitude to Mr. Sakagami for his timely rescue. They knew that without Mr. Sakagami's intervention, Makoto Sumida might have suffered much more serious injuries.

With Class A's victory in the physical ability competition, the atmosphere in the gymnasium became even more tense.

The students in Class A were in high spirits, while the students in Class B were quietly preparing for the next challenge. A battle of mental fortitude was about to begin, and it would be a completely different contest.

Since Class A won the previous match, according to the rules, Class B will attack Class A in this round. The students of Class B gathered together, discussing tactics and strategies. They knew that this would be a tough battle.

Katsuragi, the defending champion from Class A, stood on the ring, his eyes calm and focused.

Ito Sawa stood in Class B's camp. He had already witnessed Katsuragi's ability in the student council and found it somewhat troublesome, so he frowned.

Katsuragi's ability allows him to analyze and understand the operating mechanism of an ability within a certain period of time. When he encounters the same ability again, he can autonomously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, making the other party's ability completely ineffective against him.

However, thinking about this, a strange feeling rose in Ito Sawa's heart.

The effects of Katsuragi's ability are so similar to my own.

"This guy's ability seems to be a lower-level alternative to mine?"

Ito Sawa pondered to himself, his special ability—well, he still didn't know what to call it, so let's just call it "chessboard" for now.

It can absorb various forms of mental energy, rendering such mental attacks ineffective against it.

Katsuragi's ability is more like an analysis and adaptation mechanism. Although it has similarities in some aspects, it is fundamentally different in terms of ability and effect.

Ichinose was also in the student council that day. Although she was suppressed by Horikita Manabu because of her superpower going berserk, she still clearly remembered what happened.

Seeing Ito Sawa frown, she assumed he was worried about Katsuragi's ability, nodded, and said, "Katsuragi's ability is troublesome; you need to be careful." Kanzaki didn't know about Katsuragi's ability, but seeing that Ito Sawa and Ichinose seemed to know something, he asked curiously. Ito Sawa then explained Katsuragi's ability to Kanzaki in detail, and Kanzaki immediately recognized it, directly stating the name of the ability: "Spiritual Calculation Ability—Ability Analysis."

"By analyzing different mental powers in a targeted manner, we can develop corresponding mental powers that are designed to maximize benefits and minimize harm, thus rendering those superpowers ineffective against us."

After listening in, Suzuki Yuto offered a suggestion: "I'll go up and challenge Katsuragi first. Once he develops a mental strength that counters mine, I'll surrender immediately, and then Kanzaki, you can go in right away and defeat him before he can recover."

Kanzaki frowned slightly after hearing this. He wasn't sure if the plan was feasible either, because the ability analysts he had met were basically already mature. They understood and were immune to most abilities, and even being surrounded was no problem for them.

But now that we're dealing with an immature ability analyst, Suzuki Yuto's suggestion is indeed a worthwhile approach.

After a brief moment of thought, Kanzaki approved the plan. He knew it was a gamble, but if successful, it would earn Class B a valuable point.

He turned to Suzuki Yuto and Shibata and said seriously, "Then let's do as you say. Suzuki Yuto, once you go up there, try to stall for time so that Katsuragi can use his ability to analyze. Once he's finished analyzing, you surrender, and then I'll go in immediately and end the battle as quickly as possible."

Yuto Suzuki and Shibata nodded. They knew the risks of the plan, but also understood that it was their best option at the moment.

Both of them had a determined look in their eyes, ready to meet the challenge ahead.

With the referee's signal, the mental ability contest officially began. Suzuki Yuto, as the first challenger from Class B, stepped onto the stage to face Katsuragi, the defending champion from Class A.

The atmosphere in the stadium grew even more tense, with all eyes focused on this battle of mental prowess.
