Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

This is the most crucial question. Apart from the first outcome, the other three outcomes are all designed to incite infighting among the students.

Honami Ichinose looked at Toru Suzuki and suddenly asked, "What do you all think, Class A?"

Masayoshi Hashimoto lay completely flat, Miki Yamamura lowered her head, and Toru Suzuki had no choice but to step up, pondering for a moment: "Whatever decision you make, we will respect everyone's thoughts."

In short, you can decide what to do.

Honami Ichinose paused for a moment, then turned her gaze back to Hiyori Shiina, and said, "Right now, no one knows who the privileged person is. The privileged person can hear our conversation. For the privileged person, he can gain personal points without doing anything, but we will gain nothing."

After a pause, she continued, "The reason everyone is afraid of betrayal is because we can't trust each other yet. I can now promise you on behalf of Class B that as long as you are willing to cooperate, we will never betray each other."

This is Ichinose Honami's personal reputation, and also her weapon.

Chapter 190 You guys have such a good relationship!

As one of the most popular students in the first year, besides being good-looking, Ichinose Honami's personality also played a significant role.

Not only did the students in Class B trust this leader, but students from other classes were also happy to play with her, since no one would refuse a friend with a good personality.

Some people refer to Kikyo Kushida and Honami Ichinose as the first-year angels, with Honami Ichinose being the archangel and Kikyo Kushida being the little angel.

The reason for this is precisely because of Honami Ichinose's usual conduct; everyone can see the brilliance of sincerity and kindness in her.

Therefore, Honami Ichinose is now taking advantage of this, and she wants to achieve result one within the group.

“While I would love to agree to this suggestion, it’s unrealistic to expect the recipients to take the initiative to stand up,” Shiina Hiyori said rationally. “I can’t deny that Ichinose-kun has enough to be trusted, but that doesn’t mean everyone here can be completely trusted.”

Because the school guarantees the anonymity of this exam and will not disclose the names of those who received preferential treatment or correct answers, even if someone betrays everyone, they will not know who the traitor is.

In this situation, whether it's staking one's personal reputation or signing a contract, it comes with huge risks, especially for the lower-ranking classes.

If an attack is launched, Class C and Class D might be able to surpass the higher-ranked classes in one fell swoop, with Class B being the first to bear the brunt.

"So we can take this opportunity to discuss things together and get to know each other!" Ichinose Honami smiled, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed Suzuki Toru, whose ear tips turned slightly red, as if he was trying to hide something, and his eyelashes fluttered.

"Do we increase everyone's trust through chatting?" Shiina Hiyori asked doubtfully.

“If we become friends, won’t they lower their guard a little?” Honami Ichinose’s gaze began to wander. “For example, we can get to know each other better…”

Not only was Shiina Hiyori confused, but even the students in Class B stared at her blankly.

Suzuki Tetsuya had a bad feeling, and then he heard Ichinose Honami's voice.

"Although everyone has introduced themselves, it's only a vague impression. I think if we can break down the barriers between us and dispel any suspicions, then we can trust each other."

Faced with Ichinose Honami's suggestion, everyone present looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent.

At that moment, Hasebe Haruka suddenly said, "Excuse me, I didn't mean to offend, but isn't it a bit absurd to be able to trust someone in just two or three days?"

In response, Honami Ichinose smiled slightly: "Hasebe-kun also thought that result one was the best outcome, right? In other words, as long as everyone who is not a privileged individual can guarantee this, it is not difficult to do this at all."

Haruka Hasebe thought about it and realized she couldn't refute her.

“Since everyone trusts me and Class B, plus the class where the privileged student is located, there are only two classes left that are suspected of betrayal,” Ichinose Honami said gently. “Before the exam ends, we can get to know each other slowly and decide whether to reach Result 1 in the final discussion and vote.”

Instead of making everyone choose immediately, Ichinose Honami gradually gave everyone ample time to think, whether they were recipients of preferential treatment or others.

"Hey, Suzuki-kun, what do you think?"

At that moment, the girl playfully winked at Suzuki Toru.

That's right, if she can also win over Class A, achieving result one in the Snake Group is a real possibility.

“I respect everyone’s choice.” Suzuki Tetsu did not deny her words, which in a sense was tantamount to tacitly approving her suggestion.

Today's target isn't the Snake Group; tomorrow it should be the Horse Group and the Sheep Group, or maybe two unlucky ones will be randomly chosen.

He was quite curious whether his young girlfriend would succeed.

"If everyone can trust Suzuki-kun, then both classes will agree not to betray each other. Does anyone have any questions?" Ichinose Honami played a little trick. "Including the class with preferential treatment, there's only one class left."

Class D and Class C looked at each other in confusion. Komiya Yogo whispered, "No, this is too fast. We need to go back and discuss it."

Does this mean we need to go back and report to Long Yuanxiang, and only proceed with the next step after receiving his instructions?

Judging from Long Yuanxiang's style, he probably already knows who the special treatment recipients in the class are.

In that case, there's one more person who might be able to crack the answer. Won't it eventually turn into a quiz game?

However, it was all within the limits of the plan, and Suzuki Toru did not expect to win all the rewards.

As long as Class A feels that Katsuragi Kohei is a qualified leader and is more in Class A's best interest than Sakayanagi Arisu, that's fine.

Even Hashimoto Masayoshi is now wavering, not to mention the other members of the Sakayanagi faction.

On the other hand, what if most of the students in Class A were more radical and demanded that the exams for all nine groups be finished on the first day?

Suzuki Tetsu didn't dwell on it any further; this was a problem for Sakayanagi Arisu to solve, and it had nothing to do with him.

"It's fine to discuss this, but please consider my suggestion carefully. I think it's a good idea." Ichinose Honami smiled. See? Besides competition, there are definitely win-win situations in this school as well.

Threats, framing, slander, betrayal...

High school life should be wonderful, and it shouldn't be tinged with such dark undertones. Even if everyone is a rival, at least we should greet graduation with a smile at the very last moment.

Honami Ichinose believed that others must think the same way, and she was confident that she could change some people's minds.

So, in the following time, she took the initiative to start the conversation and let the members of the snake group gradually get involved.

With someone who's a social butterfly here, the atmosphere never gets dull, and Honami Ichinose seems to have put aside the issue of being a privileged person, just talking about everyday topics.

They even started making plans to play poker or truth or dare together at night, since it's pretty boring here anyway.

Before we knew it, the first group discussion had come to a successful end.

Since there are no rules or regulations, people generally leave when the time comes.

Suzuki Tetsu wanted to go back, but Shiina Hiyori suddenly called him back.

"Hey, Suzuki-kun, are you going to the cabin library today too?"

The girl stood gracefully beside him, holding the novel in her arms. Due to the height difference between them, she tilted her head slightly, revealing her fair and delicate neck. Her eyes sparkled with a clear, doe-like light. Without a trace of shyness or reserve, she naturally extended an invitation to him, as if they were so familiar with each other that there was no need for shyness anymore.

If he remembered correctly, Shiina Hiyori should have seen him do strange things to Kamuro Masumi. Normal girls would avoid such things, right?

Noticing their movements, Ichinose Honami pressed down on the chair with a blank expression, her fingertips exerting slight pressure.

Chapter 191 Not Jealousy, huh?

"Sorry, I'm going back to rest."

"I understand. Are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, there is, but aren't you bored with the library here?"

"It's boring because there are too few books here, and none of them are of interest to me, but with Suzuki-kun around, I don't feel bored."

"I've finished reading all the books you gave me."

"That's great, Suzuki-kun is treating these children very well."

For some reason, Shiina Hiyori became increasingly happy, while Suzuki Toru felt the temperature around him drop significantly.

Hashimoto Masayoshi patted him on the shoulder, gave him a look that said "take care of yourself," then shook his head and sighed before leaving the room with Yamamura Miki.

"Oh, so Shiina-san and Suzuki-kun are good friends?"

Like a curious child, Ichinose Honami quietly approached the two and joined their conversation with a smile.

“Suzuki-kun is the only friend I can share my thoughts on reading with,” Shiina Hiyori answered readily, then realized her statement was somewhat inappropriate and blushed slightly. “We didn’t do anything except read books.”

Her voice trailed off slightly, emphasizing her relationship with Toru Suzuki, as she recalled what Toru Suzuki had done to Masumi Kamuro.

"Ahaha, so you're a fellow book lover?" Ichinose Honami looked at the novel in her arms with great interest. "The Tragedy of X, what kind of novel is this?"

"A classic mystery novel is about a man who is murdered on a train, but the killer can't be found. A mystery unfolds from there, and readers can uncover the truth together with the protagonist," Suzuki Tetsu explained from the side.

Hiyori Shiina gave a clear and bright smile. Although it was just a simple summary, it was enough for her to know that Toru Suzuki had read the novel in private.

"May I ask Suzuki-kun what his thoughts are?"

"When I first started reading, I felt the descriptions were too long and the author was too verbose. But as I read on, I realized that the author had planted a lot of foreshadowing, and then brought it all together in one go. It felt great and very satisfying."

"Phew, I feel the same way. Besides the brilliant story concept, the logic brought about by the rich details is also great."

Honami Ichinose watched the two interact, and although she wouldn't care about these things, she felt a slight heaviness in her chest.

At that moment, Hiyori Shiina suddenly whispered to her, "Does Ichinose-san want to see it too?"

Honami Ichinose was clearly taken aback by this unexpected development.

"Did it bother you?" Hiyori Shiina tilted her head, thinking she had been too sudden.

"No, no, I haven't read any mystery novels yet." To hide her expression, Honami Ichinose gave an unnatural smile.

Suzuki Tetsu interjected, "If you don't understand, you can turn to the last chapter first."

"Wait, isn't that a spoiler?!" Ichinose Honami was slightly annoyed and punched him on the shoulder a few times. Besides, he wasn't an idiot and could understand a novel.

"Please don't teach your bad habits to newcomers, Suzuki-kun." Shiina Hiyori's expression was serious. "Deductions that only have answers but no process are meaningless."

Suzuki Tetsu looked at him strangely. If he knew this, why did he often let it slip?

"Please don't feel guilty, this is a great mystery novel, you will definitely love the story." Shiina Hiyori continued to recommend it to Ichinose Honami, while stuffing the novel into the latter's hands.

Having clearly never seen Shiina Hiyori in a serious state before, Ichinose Honami accepted the novel with some hesitation.

"I...I will try my best to finish watching it!"

"It's okay if you don't understand it. Don't force yourself. By the way, you can ask me or Suzuki-kun."

Honami Ichinose looked at Toru Suzuki, who nodded and said, "This book is from her collection. You can go back and read it at your leisure."

Shiina Hiyori glanced at Suzuki Toru, then at Ichinose Honami, and suddenly blushed to the roots of her ears.

"I think I got a little too excited."

Suzuki Toru watched the girl's soft, hesitant voice, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head slightly.

[Hiyori Shiina: Shame, confusion, self-blame...]

[It is suggested that stroking the target's head and chest, as well as verbally praising and comforting them, can effectively increase their favorability.]
