This coaching is not right.

The building's exterior exudes a strong sense of fantasy and supernatural power. Its structure is built from an unknown energy mineral, and its surface shimmers with a faint light, as if magic were flowing through it.

The windows were designed in the shape of strange runes, each window like a pair of eyes, quietly observing the surroundings.

Several huge energy stones are embedded in the roof, emitting stable and powerful energy fluctuations. The entire building is like an energy fortress, standing quietly in a corner of the campus.

There are two staircases inside the building, one to the east and one to the west, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the building.

Itozawa estimates that, in order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the four homeroom teachers will either stand together at the door of the room where the energy stone is located, or two teachers will stand in pairs and guard the two staircases respectively.

So he quickly stopped a few students from Class A and made a suggestion: "We can decide which class starts from which staircase by drawing lots. That way, everything will be left to luck, and everyone will rely on their own abilities."

Sakayanagi scoffed, her expression revealing obvious disdain: "Draw lots? You want the people from Class A to draw lots, then I'll agree."

Her tone was full of provocation, clearly indicating that she didn't believe there would be any fair draw in Class B.

Ito Sawa could not possibly agree. He knew very well that everyone was in the same boat, and once the right to draw lots fell into the hands of Class A, the outcome was almost predictable.

He calmly replied, "If we let you come, it would be no different from us simply handing it over."

"I'm sorry, that's what I was thinking too."

The two were locked in a stalemate, and just as both sides were contemplating doing something to break the deadlock...

"Then let's decide this with a physical duel!"

"Then let's decide this with a battle of wits!"

Their voices rang out simultaneously, and they were both taken aback, not expecting to be so in sync at that moment.

They exchanged a glance; Ito Sawa's eyes showed surprise, and Sakayanagi's eyes also showed some surprise.

Their tacit understanding was revealed unintentionally at that moment, but soon their eyes regained their sharp competitive edge.

Ito Sawa paused for a moment, then his eyes darted around, his gaze sweeping over her, a mischievous smile appearing on his face: "If I were to duel with you, Sakayanagi, a physical duel would be fine too."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little guilty.

After all, when he was competing with Sakayanagi in terms of physical ability, he felt like he was bullying a child.

A hint of speechlessness flashed in Sakayanagi's eyes. Her reaction was not intense; she simply rolled her eyes slightly, a gesture that seemed rather rare for her.

She was speechless at Ito Sawa and decided to ignore him.

She knew her physical abilities were no match for his, and to challenge him in a battle of mental strength would be tantamount to surrendering. Moreover, if he didn't fall for her trap and invade her mental sea, she simply couldn't defeat him.

Ultimately, they decided to let the four teachers decide which class would take which staircase. Using the amplification abilities of her classmates, Sakayanagi transmitted her voice to the four teachers upstairs: "Teachers, please decide for us which class will take which staircase."

On the top floor of the gymnasium, four teachers gathered to discuss which staircase each class, A and B, should take. Sakayanagi's voice, amplified by his special ability, reached the upper floors. The four teachers exchanged brief glances and began their discussion.

Mr. Majima spoke first, his voice firm and strong: "I think Class A should take the west staircase, after all, this is the area I am responsible for."

Ms. Hoshinomiya responded calmly, her eyes showing a hint of determination: "I agree with Mr. Mashima's point of view, but considering the balance, it might be more appropriate for Class B to take the west staircase."

Sakagami-sensei listened quietly, a sly glint in his eyes. He subtly gave Majima-sensei a look, and Majima-sensei nodded slightly, preparing to adopt a conciliatory strategy.

“Alright, if Mr. Hoshinomiya insists, I’m willing to let Class A take the east staircase.” Mr. Majima said, feigning helplessness, his expression showing a hint of magnanimity in his concession.

However, Ms. Hoshinomiya suddenly realized that Ryuen Sho's proposal would allow Sakayanagi's plan to be implemented. Suspecting that there might be some kind of cooperation between Class C and Class A, she changed her mind.

“No, Mr. Mashima, I’m willing to compromise. Class A can take the west staircase, but you must go through the multiple traps to ensure the fairness of the competition,” Ms. Hoshinomiya suddenly said, her eyes revealing an undeniable determination.

Majima-sensei was taken aback; he hadn't expected Hoshinomiya-sensei to suddenly change his mind. He pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Alright, I agree. Multiple trapping formation it is."

Ms. Chabashira stood detached to the side, her eyes showing little emotion, as if the debate had nothing to do with her. She simply observed the argument between the other three teachers quietly, offering no opinion.

Finally, the four teachers reached an agreement. One of the teachers' voices came from upstairs and carried clearly downstairs: "Class A will take the west staircase, and Class B will take the east staircase."

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, both classes stood in front of the other staircase the teacher had mentioned. They couldn't let the teacher decide which way to go; instead, they chose the opposite staircase. They both knew that this would not only maintain their control but might also disrupt the teacher's plans.

Yes, the plan was indeed disrupted. Hoshinomiya tried every means to scheme for his class, but in the end, it all benefited Majima-sensei.

After seeing Class B's choice through magic, Mr. Majima smiled smugly.

He had already prepared to hedge against the risks of the Star Palace teacher. Even if he arranged the formation himself, as long as he arranged the simple trapping formations he usually taught, it would be enough to give them a huge advantage. But now that Class B has come to their side, the trapping formations allowed by the Star Palace must be set up as difficult as possible.

Hoshinomiya, on the other hand, seemed somewhat helpless. She knew that all her schemes had benefited Majima-sensei. But she couldn't directly speak up and disrupt the fairness, so she could only swallow this bitter pill.
