Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"Isn't Hirano with Ichinose?"

The other person looked up blankly, their pupils behind their glasses revealing a confused light, until they saw Suzuki Toru standing opposite them, and then tilted their head.

"who are you?"

What's going on? Didn't we meet in the last few days?

Moreover, the two of them were in the same group. How could their memories be so bad?

Suzuki Toru had to introduce himself again, and after hearing it, Hirano Rin looked like she suddenly understood.

"I don't know him," she said simply.

So there are students with such strong personalities in Class B?

Suzuki Tetsu was somewhat surprised, thinking that everyone in Class B was a good student. However, upon closer reflection, he also felt a sense of incongruity with Himeno Yuki, whom he had met on the deserted island.

"Is Hirano reading a novel?" Suzuki Toru noticed that she had picked up a book from a great Eastern country, with Chinese characters on the cover. He didn't see any reading difficulties on her part.

Perhaps Hirano Rin and Shiina Hiyori have common topics.

"It's not fiction, it's archaeological data," Hirano Rin corrected his mistake.

Suzuki Tetsu fell silent; this bespectacled girl was actually a history enthusiast.

Chapter 198 Your Circle is Such a Mess

Soon, the members of the Snake Group met again.

"Good evening, everyone!" Ichinose Honami smiled broadly, looking full of energy. "Have you all thought things through regarding what happened during the day?"

Her words were mainly directed at the students in Class C. Although they had only spent a short time together, there was no one particularly strong in that group, and Class D was even more leaderless.

If Class B and Class A join forces and then solve the problem of Class C, they can probably achieve Result 1 very quickly.

In Class D, apart from Haruka Hasebe who has some opinions, the rest seem to follow the mainstream ideas.

"We plan to wait and see. If the favored one reveals their identity at the end, Class C wouldn't mind helping to achieve Result One." Shiina Hiyori's voice was gentle, and her eyes didn't blink. You wouldn't guess that she also had a talent for lying.

However, Honami Ichinose was clearly very happy.

“I’m relieved that everyone has this idea.” She had already prepared and pulled out a few decks of cards. “Although it was just my personal suggestion, how about we play cards together? After all, it’s boring to just stay in the room, and we can’t waste an hour.”

Apart from a few students such as Miki Yamamura and Haruka Hasebe, almost everyone else participated in Honami Ichinose's card game.

Due to the large number of participants, the usual gameplay is obviously not applicable, and only certain special gameplay can be adopted, such as drawing jokers.

While shuffling the cards, Honami Ichinose casually suggested, "Isn't it a bit boring not to gamble on something?"

"A bet?" Shiina Hiyori tilted her head. "But we can't gamble with money. The school might scold us if they find out."

"How could we possibly bet on this? It's actually just a punishment for the losing player, making them do something, like Truth or Dare," Ichinose Honami said with a chuckle, while glancing at Suzuki Toru from time to time.

Pretending not to see, Suzuki Tetsu interrupted, "Who decides the punishment?"

"The player who finishes playing all their cards first?" Hashimoto Masayoshi gave the most common answer.

"Haha, that's right, that's it. The first place winner decides the punishment for the last place winner." Ichinose Honami's smile grew wider and wider. "If that doesn't work, we'll change the person later."

"Are there no restrictions on the types of punishments?" Wang Meiyu asked tentatively.

“If it’s too much, it’s okay to just refuse. We can’t make things difficult for our classmates. This is just a game,” Honami Ichinose replied.

Because of the drawing of cards, everyone was reassigned to their seats, trying to form a circle. Ichinose Honami took this opportunity to sit next to Suzuki Toru.

Hiyori Shiina was on the opposite side, next to Masayoshi Hashimoto and Meiyu Wang.

"Okay, let's start right away!" Ichinose Honami seemed a little impatient as she cut the cards.

Suzuki Toru silently picked up his hand of cards. Luckily, he didn't draw the Joker.

Starting with Honami Ichinose, proceeding clockwise, she can draw cards from Toru Suzuki's hand.

Suzuki Toru calmly watched the girl's smile. She happily drew a card and then asked Suzuki Toru to draw her own card.

Then, Toru Suzuki chose the card on her right, turned it over, and found it was a Joker.

It seems she had a bad start, but she was clearly prepared.

Suzuki Toru calmly arranged his hand, then exchanged hands with Hashimoto Masayoshi.

After a while, Honami Ichinose's smile froze.

Because the last place was actually herself.

"What a pity, but what does Honami-chan want to do?" As the first place winner, Hirano Rin could naturally order Ichinose Honami around.

"Spare me, Rin-chan!"

"No."

"Rin-chan, waaaaah..."

"I've always wondered how you developed so well. Can you tell me?"

"Rin, Rin-chan!?"

Finally, Ichinose Honami, her face flushed, leaned close to Hirano Rin's ear and whispered a few words to her.

"So it was the sky... Waaah..."

Before Hirano Rin could speak, Ichinose Honami hurriedly covered her mouth.

"You can't say that, Rin-chan!"

The punishment seemed to have worked well, as Suzuki Toru shifted his gaze away from the girl's chest.

Honami Ichinose quickly regained her composure, took a deep breath, and declared with high spirits that she would play another round.

……

"How could this happen... It can't be... I tried so hard... Why couldn't I catch him..."

As she played, Honami Ichinose kept muttering to herself, and she stubbornly picked out a card from Toru Suzuki's hand.

Without a doubt, she got the Joker.

In an instant, Honami Ichinose trembled slightly, and a look of despair flashed in her eyes.

"It's Honami-chan again. Are you really okay?"

"No, it's okay, I don't care at all, it's just a game."

"..."

Although she still wore a smile on her face, a closer look revealed that Honami Ichinose's eyes held no real joy; this was probably what they meant by a forced smile.

She played sixteen games, and was the clown seven times, losing to Toru Suzuki every time.

Honami Ichinose couldn't understand why she couldn't catch Toru Suzuki, even though she had observed his expression.

During this time, she also suggested that the winner be changed to the second-to-last place winner, who could then command the last-place winner, in an attempt to turn the serfs around and make them sing.

Unfortunately, Toru Suzuki managed to pass the test smoothly from beginning to end.

"It seems like it's almost time." Shiina Hiyori checked the time. After the tense and exciting game, her face was flushed, and she seemed a little reluctant to leave.

"But it was quite fun, it's always more comfortable with more people!" Hashimoto Masayoshi sighed. He had played the Joker once, and now he glared angrily at Suzuki Toru. "Speaking of which, you haven't even played the Joker once, I was planning to punish you!"

"Why are you punishing me?" Suzuki Tetsu asked, puzzled. He could understand Ichinose Honami's motives, but why were you getting involved?

"Hey, hey, hey, don't you even know what you've done?" Hashimoto Masayoshi's face darkened; his little princess must have been defiled by this guy.

Suzuki Toru shook his head, and then someone next to him gently tugged at his sleeve.

"Why can't you give way to me?" Ichinose Honami looked at him with dissatisfaction, her voice low.

"There's no need to do that. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

For some reason, Ichinose Honami became shy after he said that.

"If you say it, will you actually do it?"

"of course."

Have you ever had a girlfriend before?

"No."

Ichinose Honami, who was still shy, suddenly stared at him intently, and her whole demeanor changed. Although she was still the same as usual, she gave people a different feeling.

Suzuki Toru had to look away from her gaze, and said softly, "Why are you asking this?"

"I don't know, but I have a feeling this isn't your first time." Since everyone was there, Ichinose Honami didn't say much and silently turned her head away.

Meanwhile, Shiina Hiyori, sitting opposite them, looked at the two with some confusion. She always had good insight and had noticed Suzuki Toru and Kamuro Masumi's little tricks in the library before, and this time was no exception.

However, she found it strange.

Aren't Toru Suzuki and Masumi Kamuro a couple?

Why does he seem to have a good relationship with Honami Ichinose?

Things seemed a bit chaotic. Shiina Hiyori thought for a moment and decided not to delve into it, since it wasn't her business anyway.

Chapter 199 Hehe, it's your turn.

"The Tiger Group's exam is over. Students belonging to the Tiger Group do not need to take the exam anymore. Please do not disturb the other students who are taking the exam during your free time."

"The exam for the Monkey Group is over. Students belonging to the Monkey Group..."

After the group discussion ended, the school suddenly sent two notifications to all students, instantly causing the Snake Group members, who were about to leave the room, to stop in their tracks and stare at the contents of their phones in shock.

"The exams are over on the first day? Really?"

Suzuki Toru heard someone mutter something, and Hashimoto Masayoshi next to him also feigned surprise, speculating, "Perhaps it was because of a moment of impatience that they rashly betrayed him?"

Results one and two can only be achieved on the night the exam ends, while results three and four, which constitute betrayal, only require sending the answers to the school midway through the exam. Therefore, given the results of the two groups, although the situation is currently unknown, it is either a hasty betrayal or a confident attack.

From outside the perspective of Class A, due to a lack of information, this is the only way others can think.

"The two text messages were only a few minutes apart, it seems like a pre-arranged operation." Shiina Hiyori habitually fell into deep thought, then her gaze wandered around the room.
