It's finally time. The day of the trial to entering into Supirittsuhai. The gates have finally opened and all of the contestants enter the building where they are all introduce to Sensei Kuriyami. "Welcome everyone! There's a lot of things you need to know before this trial begins. So, I know that there are 10 teams here and each team has 4 people in them. May I ask the leader of each team to step forward and grab these papers.", Kuriyama said to all of the contestants. Sabito and the other leaders step forward and grab the papers that were given out to them. Then, the leader of each team gave their members the paper as well.
"There are two stages to this trial. Stage I where you have to fight spiritual creatures who are on low graded levels meaning it's easier for you all to take down, each spiritual creature taken down will give you a point. If you kill a grade 4, you get one point. If you kill a grade 3 you get 2 points. Easy isn't it, well not really.
During this stage, we will release a grade 0 spiritual creature to distract everyone, so I recommend you all to avoid it at all cost. Then we have stage II, where the top 4 teams will face against one another in a arena style fight but the top 4 teams are decided by how many points you get in stage I. The last standing team in the arena wins and gets their ticket into getting into Supirittsuhai!", Kuriyama explained the whole event to the contestants in full detail. "If you have any questions, you can ask me and also if you need medical help. Our emergency group are here to back you up with any of those issues. You got it? Good!", Kuriyama gave more info to the contestants with a big smile on his face.
The contestants discuss among their own team members on strategies on how to get the most points in stage I. "So, what's the plan Sabito?", Aoi asked him. "I feel like we should split into two groups. Me and you are in one group while Hanako and May are in group 2. We can get more spiritual creatures if we split up. All of us have enough strength to make a 2 people group into being a full team." Sabito told the others about his plan. "That sounds good but-", May replied to Sabito. "But what?", Sabito asked. "What about the grade 0 spiritual creature? I mean, we have seen those things on TV before and they are crazy strong.", May said to him. "Well... I do have a plan for that", Sabito said to her as he pulls everyone close to think of a plan for when the grade 0 spiritual creature appears in the area. "You guys got it?", Sabito asked them. They all nod in agreement. "Well, it's gonna be awhile before the trial starts. It'll start in like on hour if I remembered", Aoi said to them. "Yeah, it'll sta-", Hanako was about to reply to her before he got dragged by one of the other contestants.
"Hey you! You seem weaker than the rest of your team. If your team gets into that final stage it's because of their work because I don't think you can do anything!", Hanako was trash talked by one of the other contestants, Souta Dazai. "This dude looks like your typical school bully in a comedy show back in the 80s or something. While the rest of his team looks like normal kind people", Hanako who thinks to himself in that moment of confusion. "Uhm, why did you drag me here to just say that?", Hanako asked him. "Because I'm looking for a prey to hunt down during the trial." Souta replied to him.
"But the preys are the spiritual creatures though-", Hanako said to him. "Those are meaningless things to me! I just wanna beat up some weaklings like you for fun before I go into this school", Souta said to him. "Yeah this dude is a full blown idiot but he does have a giant boomerang for some strange reason", Hanako thinks to himself again. "Uhm… Can you let go of me before things get messy here", Hanako said to him. "Oh yeah! How messy?", Souta asked him. Hanako in self defense activates his Spiritual Technique, he channels the spiritual energy that is flowing through Souta and makes Souta release him from his grasp. "H-how did you-", Souta was about to say to Hanako before he got cut off by one his teammates which is Himiko Manami.
"Get back here and don't go toying with people", Himiko said to him. "You'll soon see what my technique is during the battle field but for now you should go back to your teammates", Hanako said to him as he walks back to his friends and Souta walks back to his team. "What just happened?", May asked Hanako. "I don't know- I guess your typical opponent in a show?", Hanako replied to her in confusion.
All of the teams continued to discuss among their members on plans to get higher scores during the first stage. "Oh yeah! I forgot to give you all these, special super, duper cool clothing!", Kuriyami said to the contestants. He and the other two teachers, Mifuyu and Kenji, started giving out the new school uniform to the contestants. "Good news. You guys can keep the uniform even if you aren't able to enter the school! Doesn't that sound nice!", Kuriyami said to the contestants in a happy mood. "Kuriyami you better calm down a bit. Sometimes, your hyperness is a bit too much", Mifuyu said to him. "Fine, fine. I will", Kuriyami replied to her as he giggles.
"Anyways, the first trial will begin in 30 mins. So, be ready for what's to come everyone", Kuriyami said to the contestants. May quickly wore her new clothes and the clothing magically transformed itself into a hoodie that only reveals her face, the hoodie also has very long sleeves that cover her hands. "Wow! This clothing is amazing! It's so comfy and warm and it even suits my powers", May said it happiness. "Yes- yes. The clothing will transform itself into something that suits with the wearers powers and personality", Kuriyami said to her.
Everyone started to wear their clothing and it transformed into something that matched with them. Hanako's clothing is a white hoodie with one of his long sleeve ripped off and it's on his left arm. The arm that he mainly uses during combat. "Impressive", he thinks to himself. Aoi wears it and the clothing shifted into a white buttoned shirt and a black jacket surrounds her. "This is just looks like what I wear when I work with my family at the café except it's a black jacket and not a blazer", Aoi said to herself. Sabito wears it and it turns into a white robe that covers up his body and even created a mask that covers his mouth which actually helps him out when using his spiritual technique. "These clothing are incredible. I wonder how they work", Sabito said to his friends. The other contestants wore their clothing and shifted to suit their own powers. Souta's clothing shifted into a torn-up hoodie which gives him more air flow while Himiko's clothing shifted into a white puffy jacket with pockets to store her items. "OMG! It has pockets", Himiko said in a happy mood.
30 minutes have passed and the gates finally opened. "This is it everyone! The first trial shall begin! Make sure to work together with your teammates and get the most, highest point to qualify for the second trial. Now let the trial begin!", Kuriyami said using his shadow created megaphone. All of the contestants run out into the field and the true trial finally begins!
