Naturally.
"Meiyu Wang vs. Yukino Yukino, a draw," the teacher announced.
A draw meant that this group was basically of no use.

Still.

Aside from Kushida losing to Horikita, the members of the other three groups from Group 1 had all claimed victory.
"It seems we made a mistake," Suzune Horikita said.
