This coaching is not right.

If she didn't have this confidence, she wouldn't have cooperated with Longyuan and let Longyuan propose this kind of task.

Yes, Longyuan's task was intentionally phrased this way so that the four teachers could be freed up to complete the assessment here.

In exchange, regardless of whether he succeeded in snatching the 10,000 energy stones, he would have to give him 1,000.

In her opinion, exchanging a thousand energy stones for information about Ryuen's involvement, as well as information about Ayanokouji who might also be involved, was an incredibly good deal.

Moreover, Long Yuanxiang thought that any four teachers would do, so he was just making empty promises.

If he knew that she specifically chose the four of them because she knew their information, he would probably regret it to the core.

"Is everyone ready?" Sakayanagi turned to the students of Class A, her voice calm and firm. "Our goal is to seize the energy stone, and I believe we can do it."

The students in Class A sensed Sakayanagi's determination, and their eyes shone with unwavering resolve.

They knew this assessment would be a tough battle, but they also believed that, under Sakayanagi's leadership, they would surely achieve final victory.

Meanwhile, the other three students followed the homeroom teacher a few steps after Hoshinomiya-sensei walked out.

Ten thousand energy stones are nothing to them, but if Teacher Hoshinomiya were to tamper with them and give them to the students in Class B, that would be a big problem.

Together they went to the school's vault to apply for 10,000 energy stones. After a series of verifications and records, the vault door slowly opened, and the four teachers carefully took out the box containing the energy stones, ensuring that every step of the operation complied with regulations.

The four teachers then chose a tall building on campus as their defense location. The building had over ten floors, a complex structure, and was easy to defend. They decided to place ten thousand energy stones on the top floor, using the height advantage to increase the difficulty for the students to seize them.

On the rooftop of the high-rise building, four teachers began setting up the defenses. Each occupied a corner, forming a comprehensive defensive network. Every teacher wore a serious expression; they knew that the upcoming assessment was not only a test for the students but also a test of their own abilities.

Meanwhile, the students in Class A and Class B were still in the gymnasium, nervously discussing how to break through the defense of the four teachers.

They obviously couldn't go over until the teacher had given the instructions.

During the discussion in Class A, Arisu Sakayanagi stood in the middle, holding a floor plan of a tall building. She calmly analyzed the structure of each floor and possible defensive points.

“We need to distract the teachers and find a path to the top floor,” Sakayanagi said, a determined look in her eyes. “Kamuro, your ‘Phantom Shuttle’ is key to us. We need you to find the blind spots in the teachers’ defenses. You and Hashimoto will work together to create opportunities for Kito.”

"Ghost Head, once you go up there, you can take off your gloves to deal with any attacks that might get missed."

Kamuro nodded, knowing the weight of her responsibility. "I will do my best," she replied.

Hashimoto and Kito nodded and accepted the mission.

The other students in Class A were also discussing their tasks. They needed to develop detailed plans on how to approach the top floor without attracting the teacher's attention and how to seize the energy stone at the crucial moment.

During the discussion in Class B, Itosawa, Ichinose, and Kanzaki were also analyzing the structure of the high-rise building and the teacher's defense strategy.

“All four teachers are very strong, so we can’t confront them head-on,” Kanzaki said. “We need to find their weaknesses and then concentrate our efforts to break through them. Anyway, we already have experience dealing with two of the teachers.”

He looked at Ito Sawa.

Indeed, Ito Sawa quickly neutralized Hoshinomiya-sensei's supernatural ability and had also fought one-on-one with Sakagami-sensei, so he was quite familiar with them.

Ito Sawa thought for a moment, then offered his idea: "We can try to create some distractions to divert the teachers' attention. Ichinose, you and I have experience in quickly suppressing Hoshinomiya-sensei. We can use our mental power to take the lead and control the four teachers, buying time for our teammates to enter the storage room."

Ichinose nodded. "I will do my best."

"Don't try to be brave. I'll stand in front of you. Otherwise, if you get mentally attacked, you'll just be a burden."

Ichinose bit her lip and nodded in agreement.

The other students in Class B were also discussing their roles and tasks; they needed to work together to find the best breakthrough.

After everyone finished their discussion, the teacher told them which building they were in via the loudspeaker.

After all, it's a teacher hitting a student; if they resort to hiding, that would be incredibly shameful.

Although a certain teacher had already laid in wait in the hallway, showing absolutely no awareness of their role as a teacher...

Students from Class A and Class B met at the foot of the high-rise building, ready to begin their contest over the energy stones.

Shibata from Class B spoke first, a sly smile playing on his lips. His tone was relaxed yet sharp: "Yo, Class A, how's your preparation going? I hope you can do well today and not let us win too easily."

On Class A's side, Sakayanagi Arisu did not respond directly. Her eyes revealed a hint of disdain, clearly indicating that she did not want to waste time on this verbal dispute.

However, Yahiko of the Katsuragi faction couldn't hold back. He stepped forward with a provocative smile on his face: "Shibata, stop talking big. You haven't even beaten us in the ring, yet you have the nerve to spout nonsense. With Katsuragi-nii-san around, you should worry about yourselves."

Upon hearing Yahiko's words, Shibata laughed instead of getting angry, his voice laced with sarcasm: "If I'm not mistaken, the people on the mental arena are your Katsuragi faction, right? They lost so badly that they were completely routed. If it were just your Katsuragi faction, it would be simpler."

Yahiko wanted to say something more, but Katsuragi finally spoke up: "Yahiko, that's enough."

His tone was devoid of much emotion, yet it was enough to stop Yahiko from continuing his provocative remarks.

Katsuragi turned his gaze to Shibata, his expression serious: "The match hasn't even started yet, so there's no point in saying any of this now. Class A won't waste time on words; everything will be decided by our performance."

It's okay for there to be factional disputes within a class, but it's not a good look if those disputes openly spill over into other classes.

Shibata shrugged, a hint of amusement in his smile: "Let's see who's the best on the field, Katsuragi."
