I actually felt that the 1v5 thing here is unnecessary. Silver Link & Nexus probably just wanted to fill the episode up with some content and used that scene.

Then they're also hyping the match against the Student Council. Hopefully they'll retain it like the LN, short & simple instead of forcefully extending it.

What i'm worried now after watching this episode is how will they introduce Kuraudo? They introduce him in the LN after the pool training after all.
