Ep. 29: Team Ichigo faces basic lessons and bond-themed competition pressure

29

The third-place competition theme is announced as bonds. Team Ichigo is caught slacking in class, prompting their teacher, Ameya-sensei, to suggest they stop thinking about the competition until the day off. Instead, she assigns the entire class the most basic lessons until the day of the competition. This decision leaves Team Ichigo wondering if there is any point to the rigorous preparation, as they are forced to focus on fundamental tasks rather than their contest strategy during the interim period.
