Itozawa stood in place, watching Yamamura Miki gradually disappear into the night. No disappointment or dissatisfaction showed on his face.
He knew his objective had been achieved. The seed of doubt had been planted in Yamamura Miki's heart, and that was enough.
Sakayanagi's tsundere nature and sharp tongue would make it more difficult to win her over.
Itozawa knew clearly that with this time, Class B had a complete chance to surpass Class A.
He even considered cooperating with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. After all, Chabashira-sensei had only threatened Ayanokoji to make Class D stand out in the exam.
During the Deserted Island Exam, if Class B and Class D could both guess the exam content of Class A and Class C. With everyone tied, Chabashira-sensei would have nothing to say.
At worst, Class B could spend more Energy Stones to let Class D win, and it would be worth it.
He believed that through this method, Class B could gain an advantage in the exam, and might even surpass Class A.
Itozawa turned and walked towards the dormitory with firm steps. His heart was filled with anticipation for the future and preparation for the challenges ahead.
After resting in the dormitory for a night, the next morning.
Itozawa walked out of the dormitory full of energy, heading towards the classroom. The sunlight shone on him, bringing him the vitality of a new day.
On the way, he happened to meet Ichinose, who was coming out of the teachers' dormitory.
Itozawa stepped forward to greet him, and Ichinose responded warmly.
"Ichinose, you must have been tired taking care of Hoshimiya-sensei all night yesterday," Itozawa said gently, tilting his head slightly, his gaze falling on Ichinose's face.
Ichinose returned a warm smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons. "Don't worry about me. I didn't expect Hoshimiya-sensei to actually not get drunk, but she thanked me, apologized for letting me see an indecent scene, and enthusiastically invited me to stay in the teachers' dormitory for the night."
Itozawa nodded, but still spoke, "But only you, Ichinose, would be so thoughtful as to stay and take care of the teacher."
Ichinose waved her hand gently. "It's only right to take care of the teacher. Besides, I learned a lot from last night's experience."
A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes. "The dormitory where Hoshimiya-sensei lives has such advanced magic arrays. It really opened my eyes. There's even a magic array that can convert and condense spiritual energy, and you can even cultivate Mind-Type Abilities in it."
Hearing Ichinose mention this, Itozawa was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to reveal even this kind of information so readily.
So he also stopped holding back and talked about Ling Steel forming magic arrays.
"Speaking of which, are those strange little things sold in the school convenience store the Ling Steel used to form magic arrays?"
Ichinose's eyebrows twitched slightly, a flash of surprise in her eyes. "Eh, they sell things like that at school?" But it was quickly replaced by a hint of regret. "It's a shame I couldn't figure out the structure of those Mental Magic Arrays, otherwise we could buy them and set them up in our dormitory."
Itozawa smiled and interrupted her. "I didn't mention it for the sake of the magic array. It's just because you were so generous with the information, I felt I shouldn't hide anything either."
He thought to himself that, of course, he also wanted to increase Ichinose's favorability, but he didn't say the latter half aloud.
Hearing Itozawa's words, Ichinose broke into a big smile, her eyes shining with approval. "Itozawa, you're absolutely right. Classmates should help each other."
Itozawa nodded in agreement with a smile, then changed the subject to more important matters. "Ichinose, I've obtained some reliable information about the school's three types of exams." His voice became serious, and his expression turned earnest. Ichinose's attention was immediately captured, and she leaned forward slightly, showing her seriousness about the topic. "Really? Tell me about it." Itozawa explained in detail, "First, there's the Entrance Exam, which is a two-way assessment for both teachers and students.
Then there's the Large Intra-Grade Exam, which is an assessment among students and is key to grading.
Finally, there's the Cross-Grade Exam. By this time, several Cores have usually formed within the grade, and the school will try to create conflict between students of different grades to discover more outstanding students."
Ichinose listened intently, her eyes sparkling with thought. She nodded in understanding. "This means we need to prepare in advance.
Then let's first let everyone understand what their Abilities are and train their Abilities!"
Looking at her energetic appearance, Itozawa sighed inwardly. As expected, she had no awareness of facing opponents from other classes.
But fortunately, with him here, he knew all about the attacks from others. He would be the one to secretly eliminate hidden dangers for Class B.
And Ichinose just needed to lead Class B to victory with full energy.
Soon, the two walked into the classroom together and saw Kanzaki had just arrived.
They returned to their seats and decided to share what they had just discussed with Kanzaki to see if he had any good suggestions to improve Class B's overall level before the next exam.
"Kanzaki, we have something we'd like to discuss with you," Itozawa said, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Kanzaki turned around, curiosity in his eyes. "What is it?"
Ichinose picked up the conversation, excitement in her voice. "We want to improve Class B's level before the next exam and wanted to ask if you have any good ideas."
Kanzaki raised an eyebrow. He was clearly interested in the topic. He knew that as a Zai Fa Zi Di, he did have some understanding of Ability training, and his family also had a mature training plan.
"I do have some training methods, but they are mainly for the Mental Type," Kanzaki said with a hint of confidence. "There are also two or three Mental Type students in the class, so they should be useful."
Itozawa nodded, very interested in Kanzaki's training methods. "That's great. At least we can start with the Mental Type."
Ichinose also agreed. "As for other Abilities, we plan to ask Hoshimiya-sensei then and see if she has any good methods. After all, her special training advice for Amikura in class was very good."
Kanzaki nodded, agreeing with Ichinose's view. "Hoshimiya-sensei indeed has many practical suggestions. We can ask her for advice."
