As a chid, Eli might seem normal at first. We don't have much background information on his scholar performance, but it's easy to assume that he is the studious type, being the typical quiet and nice student. What the audience does know so far is that he puts his childlike imagination to good use coming up with creative ways to evaluate Sakura's resourcefulness and resolve. A contributing factor to Sakura's success is that she is always accompanied by allies who are considerably capable of wielding magic powers. Kero in his true form does a great job breaking falling party members' falls and putting up a protective barrier to deflect incoming attacks, while You-ay's lithe movements and speed ensure that he can get Sakura out of harm's way. Lee, who was earlier seen calling into question his own usefulness, is also a confirmed force to be reckoned with as he is a skilled swordsman, his ability to brandish his sword and power to call upon elemental attacks being a trademark of his being a direct Clow Reed descendant. Still, it's ultimately up to Sakura to deal the finishing blow to pass the imposed ordeals, this time in the form of a plain-looking teddy bear. Sakura had made it and intended to give it to Julian as a present. Of course Eli had to muck this up. This is accomplished by the same underhanded techniques that he always employs: he approaches Sakura, asks to hold whatever she is carrying if this is something that happens to have real meaning to her, imparts on it some evil energy that causes it to turn on its holder later on while sitting back and watching how Sakura will fare. Maybe Lee does have good reasons to suspect him...
