Just like last time, everyone was divided into groups; however, they weren't mixed with upper and lower grades.
Previously, they were mixed because of several people participating in the trip, not to mention the other two divisions. Tenth graders were forced to lead the group.
But, now that the overall students only numbered 24 and only consisted of Elite division, the teachers just divided them per grade.
Grade-8s were placed on one team. Grade-9s on the other. The remaining grade-10 students are on the third team.
Grade-8s were accompanied by two teachers, one is their lazy homeroom teacher who is now behaving completely opposite and the other is the sorcerer Uphiar who was usual like himself with no changes of his attire or his beard style.
He was the one who cast a barrier on the rank-3s from grade 8 so that they don't feel the heat.
