This coaching is not right.

Ito Sawa walked to the center of the ring, took a deep breath, and began to mobilize his mental energy.

He had guided her abilities many times before, and hopefully her abilities still retained some impression of his mental power.

Ito Sawa's mental energy slowly came into contact with Ichinose's aura. He was very careful to avoid using excessive power.

Her aura indeed remembered Ito Sawa's spiritual power and did not resist his guidance too much.

His spiritual power, like fine threads, gently wrapped around Ichinose's aura, and then began to slowly guide its strength.

Ichinose sensed Itosawa's spiritual power. She was somewhat surprised, but did not resist. She could feel Itosawa's intentions, so she relaxed her control and allowed Itosawa to guide her supernatural abilities.

Guided by Itosawa, Ichinose's aura gradually weakened, eventually returning completely to her mental sea. Satoshi Satoshi was also finally freed from the shackles of his mental power, which slowly returned to his body.

The atmosphere in the gymnasium shifted from tense to relieved. The students of Class B surrounded Ichinose and Itosawa, celebrating their successful resolution of the crisis. The students of Class A also expressed their respect for Itosawa's abilities.

Ms. Hoshinomiya stood to the side, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. She knew that Itosawa had not only saved Ichinose and Satoshi Satoshi, but also prevented any potential harm to her.

"Well done, Ito Sawa." Hoshinomiya-sensei walked up to Ito Sawa and said softly, "Your method is very effective, thank you."

Ito Sawa smiled and nodded; he knew this was the result of teamwork. He turned to Ichinose and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Ichinose smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, thank you, Ito Sawa."

The situation was resolved unexpectedly, with Satoshi Rinaka leaving the ring and Ichinose continuing to defend his title.

With Satoshi Rinaka's departure, Class A's third challenger, Taiga Tsukasa, slowly walked onto the stage.

His gaze lingered on Ichinose for a moment, and Satoshi Rinaka's fate filled him with a sense of apprehension.

Although Sicheng Taihe is handsome, his superpower "Mind Pressure" is one of the more powerful mental superpowers. It can use mental power to pressure opponents, causing them to feel fear and retreat.

However, facing Ichinose, Taiga Shijo dared not easily use his supernatural ability. He worried that once his mental power came into contact with Ichinose's aura, he would lose control like Satoshi Satoshi, or even be devoured by his own supernatural ability.

Therefore, he merely stood on the ring, pretending to confront Ichinose, without actually launching an attack.

Ichinose looked at Taiga Shijo, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She could sense Sicheng Taiga's hesitation and unease, but she didn't let her guard down. She knew the competition wasn't over yet, and she had to stay focused.

"Shiki-san, are you ready?" Ichinose asked politely, her voice calm and gentle.

Taiga Shijo nodded, but he was struggling internally. He didn't want to lose the game like Satoshi Rinaka, but he also didn't want to risk using his special ability.

He decided to adopt a conservative strategy, keeping his distance as much as possible and avoiding direct contact with Ichinose's mental energy.

With the referee's signal, the match officially began. Taiga Shijo carefully moved around Ichinose, his mental energy tightly contained, not daring to release it easily. A hint of tension flickered in his eyes, and his movements appeared somewhat stiff.

Ichinose stood quietly in the center of the arena, her halo slowly rotating, radiating a peaceful and warm light. She did not attack first, but waited for Taiga Shijo to make his move.

To most of the students in Class A, Taiga Shijo's performance in the ring seemed like a cautious tactic. They didn't realize Shijo's actual hesitation and fear, instead believing he was adopting a steady strategy to defeat Ichinose at the crucial moment.

The girls in Class A, especially his fans, cheered him on enthusiastically, hoping that he could defeat Ichinose and win a valuable point for Class A.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu and a few other students with exceptional insight had already seen through Sicheng's disguise. They knew that Sicheng had not unleashed his true strength; his "Mind Pressure" ability had not been truly activated, nor had his mental power been fully released.

Katsuragi had certainly analyzed his special ability and could naturally see that Tsukasa had not gone all out.

Faced with Sakayanagi's seemingly all-knowing smile, Katsuragi's expression turned extremely ugly.

He knew that Sakayanagi had seen through Shijo's hesitation, and this silent accusation put him under more pressure than any words.

The match continued. Taiga Shijou stood on the ring, facing Ichinose. He knew he had to do something to appease the expectations of the Class A girls and the stares of Sakayanagi. He decided to feign a desperate fight, hoping to at least appear outwardly that he had given it his all.

"Come on, I won't lose!" Si Cheng Taihe announced loudly, his voice revealing determination, trying to ignite his fighting spirit and maintain his image in front of the audience.

His mental energy began to surge, preparing to unleash "mental pressure," but he did not actually release it.

His movements were exaggerated and powerful, attempting to create the illusion of giving it his all.

He carefully controlled his strength to avoid actually triggering Ichinose's special ability.

However, Ichinose did not cooperate as he had hoped. She stood quietly in place, unmoved, like an unshakable mountain.

Her gaze was calm, showing no sign of wavering, clearly unaffected by Sicheng Dahe's feint.

Taiga Shijo's performance was powerless in the face of Ichinose's composure. His mental strength did not truly touch Ichinose's aura, so naturally no substantial confrontation occurred.

His expression shifted from resolute to helpless, and in the end, he could only smile and admit his "defeat".

"I did my best," Taiga Shijo said, a hint of self-deprecation in his voice. He knew his performance hadn't fooled Ichinose, nor had it fooled Arisu Sakayanagi. But at least he'd managed to fool his fans.

Ichinose nodded without saying anything more, and watched as Taiga Tsukijo left the arena.

With the departure of Taiga Tsujiro, Class B achieved another victory in the mental arena, winning both the attacking and defending matches, just like Class A's performance in the physical arena.

The students in Class B cheered for Ichinose's victory.
