Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"That doesn't prove anything, anyway, it's another group's exam, it has nothing to do with us." Hasebe Haruka yawned. "If you want to continue chatting, please do so, I'm going back now."

“Me too!” Wang Meiyu followed closely behind Hasebe Haruka.

It seems like Class D isn't very interested.

"Then I'll take my leave too." Shiina Hiyori paused slightly. She had originally wanted to invite Suzuki Tetsu to the library tomorrow, but then she thought it might be inappropriate. So she nodded slightly to Suzuki Tetsu and then prepared to leave the room.

"See you tomorrow, Shiina-kun," Suzuki Toru said. "Remember to tell me if you have any good books to recommend next time."

Shiina Hiyori paused for a moment, then secretly glanced at Ichinose Honami a few times. Wouldn't it anger Ichinose Honami if he said it to her face like that?

"Yes, I will tell you."

Perhaps recalling what happened during the day, Shiina Hiyori's pretty face flushed slightly. She stood there, afraid that he would touch her again, but after taking two steps, she felt that her pace was too fast, so she slowed down and walked lightly into the light of the outer corridor, her slender and delicate silhouette flowing across the wall.

Hashimoto Masayoshi thought that was the end of the day, but no one expected the school's announcement to ring out again.

"The exams for the Bull Group are over. Students belonging to the Bull Group..."

Wait, wasn't it agreed that there would be two groups per day?

Why has the exam for the "cow group" ended as well?

No matter how good Hashimoto Masayoshi was at controlling his expression, he couldn't help but look at Suzuki Toru at this moment.

Suzuki Tetsuya was also deep in thought. The one receiving preferential treatment in the Bull Group was Kohashi Yume from Class B. He had looked at the list of members and, apart from the students from Class B and Class A, the others probably did not have the ability to see through the preferential treatment. The only one worth paying attention to was Matsushita Chiaki from Class D.

Yes, the other person has desires that are completely different from those of ordinary people.

Assuming that no one accidentally discovered the preferential treatment recipient of the Bull Group, it means that Sakayanagi Arisu has already taken action. However, judging from Hashimoto Masayoshi's bewildered look, she seems to be acting alone.

No, perhaps it's Long Yuanxiang.

“Three groups finished their exams in just one day. If they happen to be the same group of students who received special treatment in the same class, then someone has already caught them all.” Ichinose Honami observed Suzuki Toru’s expression. “Hey, Suzuki-kun, who do you think did it?”

She knew who the privileged students in her class were.

As the most approachable leader in Class B, Honami Ichinose is likely to have gathered all the students who want to treat her well, and it's highly probable that these students will approach her on their own initiative.

After all, the students receiving preferential treatment are also under a lot of pressure. If they make a mistake, they might be exposed to other classes and have their exams terminated by them.

The Ox and Monkey groups, who finished their exams tonight, are both privileged members of Class B, meaning they only have the Dog group left.

"There's no such thing as a coincidence. If we can find an entire class of students who receive preferential treatment, it means someone has already found the correct pattern."

Upon hearing Suzuki Toru's answer, Hashimoto Masayoshi's eyes widened. Wasn't this a blatant hint?

“That makes sense. If I discover the correct pattern, I should be able to end all the group exams.” Ichinose Honami smiled, also implying to Suzuki Toru that this was normal competition and she wouldn’t mind.

However, she also noticed Hashimoto Masayoshi's reaction earlier.

When faced with the reports from the Tiger and Monkey teams, Hashimoto Masayoshi only pretended to be surprised for a moment. But when he saw the text message from the Bull team, he immediately lost his composure, clearly having seen something unexpected.

Besides Class A, who else knows the answers to the exam?

Honami Ichinose immediately identified Ryuen Sho from Class C. She knew the situation in both Class D and Class C very well. Class D didn't have such a strong opponent, so it could only be Ryuen Sho.

Then, she recalled Shiina Hiyori's words.

It's somewhat suspicious that Class C can accept Result 1 in the Snake Group.

Due to the lack of crucial information, Honami Ichinose couldn't determine what Sho Ryuen was thinking.

"Let me ask you bluntly, Suzuki-kun isn't a recipient of preferential treatment, is he?"

"No."

“Neither do I,” Honami Ichinose added. “Besides, I can assure you that neither Rin-chan nor Nakanishi-kun are recipients of preferential treatment.”

Hashimoto Masayoshi glanced at Suzuki Toru, then at Ichinose Honami. Why did it suddenly fast forward to the confession scene? Was he going to confess too?

Suzuki Toru and Ichinose Honami exchanged a glance and instinctively looked away.

"It seems there won't be any notification for a fourth group. Let's go back too, Hashimoto-kun, Yamamura-kun..." Suzuki Toru suddenly realized that Yamamura Miki had disappeared sometime during his sentence.

This guy's presence is far too weak.

......

The faint moonlight floated on the sea, and cool air flowed down from the star-studded night sky. The brightly lit deck was silent, with the occasional whistling of the sea breeze, like the whispers of the night spirits.

At that moment, Suzuki Tetsu saw the girl emerge from the shadows. Her white short-sleeved shirt billowed high in front of her chest, outlining her slightly alluring curves under the moonlight. Her snow-white skin was partially visible through the neckline, shimmering in the moonlight. Her two not-so-plump legs were exposed before him, her smooth, jade-like thighs clearly visible. Her comfortable and form-fitting athletic shorts were equally eye-catching, completely covering the girl's pert buttocks, making her look exceptionally tempting.

As she walked towards him, Suzuki Toru saw her pretty face clearly and blushed slightly.

Why are you wearing this outfit?

"I have no choice. I need to sleep at night, and wearing a uniform to sleep makes it wrinkle easily. I don't have any personal clothes right now, so I have to wear this." Ichinose Honami stood in front of him somewhat embarrassedly.

The reason the two met here in the middle of the night was naturally because of their tacit understanding earlier.

"Don't you also have trousers?" Suzuki Tetsu found himself unable to look away; his girlfriend's figure was just too amazing, both her upper and lower body. "Shorts are only worn indoors, right?"

It can't be that the pants weren't dry; the cruise ship's cabins have dryers.

Honami Ichinose remained silent. She couldn't possibly tell Toru Suzuki that this was a little trick she had learned from a manga, could she?

A young girl wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt and showing off her long, white legs inevitably exudes a youthful yet alluring charm that is sure to make anyone's heart flutter.

"Only the Monkey, Tiger, and Ox groups finished their exams tonight," Ichinose Honami said sternly. "Why did you attack your girlfriend's class?"

As a leader, she certainly wouldn't mind Class A and Class B competing fairly, but now that she's his girlfriend, she also has the right to vent her dissatisfaction, right?

"It wasn't just my idea; the whole Class A knows the answers to the exam." Suzuki Tetsu took the opportunity to walk up to her, took her small hand in his, which was soft, and smelled of citrus.

Honami Ichinose stared at him blankly, but everyone in Class A knew what he meant.

It wasn't until Suzuki Tetsu explained the process that Ichinose Honami gradually grasped the whole picture.

"You have a bet with Sakayanagi-san. If you win, you can become her master?"

“If she wins, I will be her slave,” Suzuki Tetsu added the remaining terms, as he didn’t mind either option.

Honami Ichinose fell silent. She understood the unspoken implication in Toru Suzuki's words: she actually had a perverted boyfriend.

No, thinking about it carefully, if Suzuki Tetsu wasn't a pervert, I wouldn't have become his girlfriend.

“Sakayanagi-san has probably colluded with Class C. I think she used the guise of group cooperation to reveal the preferential treatment for Class A to Ryuen-san under the pretext of result one. As long as Ryuen-san isn’t stupid, it’s easy for her to deduce the answer to the exam.” Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment, “Because she didn’t tell Ryuen-san directly, and it was everyone’s idea to have the Rat, Chicken, and Pig group reach result one, it’s hard to criticize her from that point of view.”

Even Hashimoto Masayoshi was surprised, which suggests that Sakayanagi Arisu was probably acting alone.

"But why didn't she make Class C finish the exam right away? That would have been a blow to you guys." Ichinose Honami was a little confused. Since it was other classes that launched the attack, Sakayanagi Arisu could have guided the class's opinion and then blamed the Katsuragi faction.

Because the exam was not ended early, other classes were given an opportunity, causing Class A to lose a lot of class points for nothing.

Such a statement would obviously point the finger at Katsuragi Kohei. With the Katsuragi faction suffering a crushing defeat, Sakayanagi Arisu managed to retain the privileged members of Class A, which would immediately reverse the situation.

"What she meant was—" Suzuki Tetsu mimicked a little girl's tone, "Hehe, now it's your turn, Suzuki-kun~"

As if she had seen something disgusting, Ichinose Honami subconsciously took a half step back.

Chapter 200 I Want to Die Together with You

"You also think she talks strangely, right?"

"No...do I really have to say it?"

"If it's about me, then this isn't necessary."

Honami Ichinose sighed as if she had a headache, and then raised another question.

"Actually, for Sakayanagi-san, finishing it all at once is probably the best outcome. If you stop now, you'll be wasting your opportunity. If you finish the exam quickly, Class C's offensive will be in vain."

Her consideration was correct; now was indeed the best opportunity for Sakayanagi Arisu and Ryuen Sho to seize the chance before Suzuki Toru could react and take down the entire exam in one fell swoop.

“Besides the privileged members of Class A, there are now six groups left.” Suzuki Tetsu held up two fingers. “Among them, the Snake Group and the Sheep Group are both privileged members of Class C. And tonight, Shiina agreed to your proposal, which means that Ryuen Sho behind her wants to gain more benefits and doesn’t want all the privileged members of her class to be wiped out.”

Are the students of Class C the ones receiving preferential treatment in the Snake Group?

Although it was a bit of a surprise, considering that even the entire Class A knew about it, it wasn't surprising that Suzuki Tetsu was telling her this now. The only thing that bothered her was that Suzuki Tetsu was actually watching her try her best.

I felt a mix of shame and dissatisfaction.

"Sakayanagi's goal is probably to protect the privileged members of Class A and tacitly allow Class C to act recklessly. As for Ryuen, in order to make up for the losses in the deserted island exam, it is obviously not enough to just attack Class B and Class D, especially knowing that Class A also knows the answers. Therefore, he needs to protect the privileged members in his own class."

Suzuki Tetsu calmly analyzed the two's thoughts. Sakayanagi Arisu, out of caution, secretly conspired with Ryuen Sho alone. She must have been aware of the consequences of finishing all the exams on the first day. Everyone was wiped out except for the privileged students from Class A who were left until the end. Moreover, achieving result one would obviously be much more difficult.

Regardless of the suspicions within Class A, or considering the existence of Class B and Class D, Sakayanagi Arisu obviously couldn't be so high-profile.

Therefore, she probably exchanged information about the privileged individuals for Ryuen Sho's promise to ensure that the other party would not attack Class A and to cooperate in achieving Result 1.

Ryuen Sho was probably well aware that annihilating the opponents on the first day would cause them to unite, so he reached another consensus with Sakayanagi Arisu—to take it slow and pretend not to know about Class A's plan.

“Theoretically, their best opportunity would be the last discussion, when Class A is completely unprepared. If someone beats them to it, they probably won’t even have time to react.” Suzuki Tetsu smiled. “But doing so is dangerous. For Ryuen, he has to tolerate Class A’s attacks on Class C in the first two days, and then he has to compete with Class A for time on the last day. It’s too difficult.”

"So Class C only attacked one group tonight, intending to pretend they were just bystanders?" Honami Ichinose was also pondering Ryuen Sho's purpose.

“Sakayanagi has no authority over Class C. This idea can only be Ryuen’s own decision. At most, we will inform her.”

Upon hearing this, Honami Ichinose's expression turned strange. If her class hadn't been attacked twice tonight, she would probably still consider it a strange accident.

However, this alerted the enemy.

Suzuki Toru took her small hand, and the two walked to the railing of the deck. The cool, slightly salty sea breeze blew in their faces, blowing her long hair, and the scent of citrus grew stronger.

"Although Sakayanagi-san appears very composed, it also shows that she doesn't have many options. Because she was a little slow, she is now in a passive position."

Honami Ichinose secretly glanced at his profile and found that this guy looked kind of handsome when he was serious. Licking feet or playing with breasts was too perverted and she couldn't accept it.

Are you going to launch a counterattack now?

“Yes, but we can also ignore her.” Suzuki Toru shook his head. “Apart from Katsuragi expressing his concern to me, most of the students in Class A don’t care at all and treat it as an unexpected situation.”

Honami Ichinose paused for a moment, then thought about it. For the students of Class A, who hadn't lost a single game in months, it was understandable that their vigilance had decreased.

"Given the current situation, a swift counterattack against her and Longyuan could minimize the losses..."

Seeing Suzuki Toru's pensive expression, Ichinose Honami also tried her best to think of a solution for her boyfriend. But as he said, if they didn't fight back now, were they just going to sit and wait for Class C to compete with Class A for class points?

"Actually, things aren't that complicated. We were the ones who suggested ending the exams for one or two groups a day to avoid alerting them, and it was also our decision to let her try Result 1. Now, suddenly ending the exams for most groups ahead of schedule will naturally disrupt her preparations for Result 1."

At this point, Suzuki Toru gently touched her small hand, which was as smooth as jade.

"Isn't this better?" Ichinose Honami blushed slightly. It was the first time she had appeared in front of him like this, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, both nervous and expectant about what he might do.
