This coaching is not right.

Sakagami-sensei stood in the center of the ring, his voice echoing throughout the gymnasium as he emphasized the rules of the match: "Attention, players. This match will be decided through a battle of mental strength."

The player who controls their opponent's movements for half a minute, or stuns them for one minute, wins. Please be sure to follow the rules to ensure a fair competition.

As Mr. Sakagami finished speaking, the duel between Suzuki Yuto and Katsuragi officially began.

The two stood facing each other, sparks seemingly flying where their eyes met. Suzuki Yuto's ability, "Mind Pierce," was swift and direct, perfectly suited to this rule.

As soon as the match began, Suzuki Yuto swiftly activated his supernatural ability. His mental power, like a sharp arrow, pierced straight into Katsuragi's mental sea. The mental piercing, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, attempted to create a breach in Katsuragi's mental defenses.

Katsuragi sensed Suzuki Yuto's attack, and his mental energy began to surge.

His special ability, "Special Ability Analysis," began to operate, analyzing Suzuki Yuto's mental energy composition and attack patterns.

Countless symbols and formulas seemed to be flying around in Katsuragi's mind, swirling around Suzuki Yuto's mental piercing, trying to find the best solution.

The moment it pierced through, a violent fluctuation surged within Katsuragi's mental sea.

The mental piercing penetrated Ge Cheng's mental defenses, like a needle piercing the surface of calm water, stirring up ripples.

These ripples spread rapidly, carrying Suzuki Yuto's spiritual power, impacting Katsuragi's thoughts and perceptions.

Katsuragi felt a wave of dizziness. It was as if countless stars were spinning in his consciousness space, his thoughts became blurred, and his perception of the outside world was temporarily hindered.

This is the effect of Mind Piercing, which directly impacts the mental sea, causing the opponent to lose their combat ability for a short period of time.

However, Katsuragi was not easily defeated. His mental energy began to boil, like a pot of water being heated, violently churning, and his analytical speed increased rapidly.

The atmosphere inside the stadium was extremely tense. The audience held their breath and stared intently. Although they could not directly see the clash of mental strength, they could feel the intensity of the competition through the players' expressions and movements.

Sweat beaded on Suzuki Yuto's forehead, his expression tense and focused, while Katsuragi kept his eyes tightly closed, his facial muscles twitching slightly, showing his extreme concentration.

Five seconds later, Katsuragi's ability "Ability Analysis" began to unleash its true power.

When Suzuki Yuto's mental piercing attack struck again, Katsuragi's mental energy seemed to transform into a soft and vast cotton ball in his mental sea, gently enveloping Suzuki Yuto's sharp attack.

Yuto Suzuki's mental piercing was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, carrying a sharp light and deadly penetrating power. However, when it touched the cotton-like substance in Katsuragi's mental sea, all the impact was silently absorbed without causing a ripple.

Katsuragi's face did not show any pain or struggle; instead, he appeared calm and composed, as if everything around him was under his control.

After Suzuki Yuto's attack ended, Katsuragi slowly opened his eyes, his pupils gleaming with a deep and calm light.

After yet another attack, Suzuki Yuto immediately surrendered. His body trembled slightly as he truly realized how terrifying Katsuragi was.

But his eyes revealed determination; his mission was complete, and now it was up to Shibata.

Katsuragi appeared calm and composed on the ring, his demeanor relaxed, as if the intense exchange just moments before had had no effect on him whatsoever.

Finally, after one of Suzuki Yuto's attacks, he immediately surrendered. According to the plan, he had to vacate the ring as soon as possible so that Shibata could quickly enter the ring and launch an attack during the gap in Katsuragi's ability analysis.

Sakagami-sensei quickly announced Suzuki Yuto's surrender, and Katsuragi temporarily gained the upper hand.

Katsuragi was indeed stunned for a moment after Suzuki Yuto suddenly announced his surrender. His mental strength had just gone through a tense analysis and confrontation, and he hadn't had time to relax when he saw Kanzaki quickly step onto the ring.

Katsuragi's dazed look was quickly replaced by a relaxed smile, and he immediately understood Class B's plan.

"You guys are pretty quick," Katsuragi said to Kanzaki, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.

Kanzaki stood on the ring, his expression remaining calm despite Katsuragi's teasing. He knew that Katsuragi's ability, "Ability Analysis," had a rapid analytical capability for known abilities, and he himself had demonstrated his ability quite a few times, giving Katsuragi ample data to analyze.

“You do analyze things very quickly, Katsuragi,” Kanzaki replied, his voice calm and without a trace of tension. “But fighting is more than just analysis.”

Katsuragi chuckled softly, a hint of confidence in his eyes: "Indeed, but sometimes, understanding your opponent's trump cards can make the battle easier. I've analyzed your ability many times, so this time, I won't need much time."

Kanzaki nodded, not denying Katsuragi's words. He knew Katsuragi's analytical abilities were exceptional, but he was also confident, because there was never just one variable in a battle.

With the referee's signal, the clash of their mental powers officially began. Katsuragi immediately activated his ability, his mental energy spreading like a net, rapidly enveloping Kanzaki. His goal was to analyze Kanzaki's mental structure and find the best countermeasure.

Kanzaki swiftly entered battle mode, his mental energy like a sharp sword aimed directly at Katsuragi's mental sea. He knew Katsuragi's analytical abilities, so he had to find an opportunity to defeat him before Katsuragi could complete his analysis.

The two men's mental energies collided in mid-air, making the atmosphere in the stadium even more tense.

Although the audience could not see the clash of mental strength, they could feel the tension between the two contestants, as if they could hear the sound of their mental energy colliding.

Katsuragi's mental energy surged more and more violently, and his ability analysis began to take effect.

In his mental sea, countless symbols and formulas revolved around Kanzaki's mental power, trying to find the best solution.

Kanzaki's mental power was like a raging storm, constantly assaulting Katsuragi's mental defenses.

He knew that once Katsuragi finished his analysis, his advantage would disappear, so he had to find a way to defeat Katsuragi in the shortest possible time.

As time went on, Katsuragi's analysis gradually came to fruition. His mental energy began to form a new structure, capable of withstanding Kanzaki's attacks and, to some extent, counterattacking.

Facing Katsuragi's defenses, Kanzaki realized that conventional attacks would be ineffective. A determined glint flashed in his eyes as he prepared to unleash a more advanced form of his ability.

His special ability, "Heart Blade," belongs to the mental type and has three different forms, but he usually only uses the most basic form.

He doesn't usually use the other two forms because they are too much of a burden on him.

“Katsura, you do have some skills.” Kanzaki said coldly, his voice revealing a hint of admiration, but also a determination that should not be underestimated. “In that case, I don’t need to hide it anymore.”

Katsuragi sensed Kanzaki's change, and his brow furrowed slightly, realizing that Kanzaki was about to launch a more intense attack.

His mental energy continued to surge, his supernatural abilities analysis running at full speed, preparing to meet Kanzaki's next attack.
