Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Miki Yamamura was stunned. Could there really be someone in this world who would agree to be followed by a strange guy?

"One last thing, don't follow me tonight."

Since Suzuki Toru was going to give Sakayanagi Arisu a surprise later, letting her know in advance would actually have less of an impact.

……

Something's strange tonight.

Sakayanagi Arisu looked out the window at the night sky. The stars and moon were dim, and the sea was pitch black, without a trace of light.

In the last century, the Teknikolink struck an iceberg under such a night sky and eventually sank into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Today, human technology has far surpassed that of the last century. Not to mention positioning systems, radar systems mounted on ships can easily detect suspicious targets and thus avoid them.

However, the human instinct for fear of the dark has not disappeared. Sakayanagi Arisu thought of Suzuki Tetsu, who was like the heavy night, slowly enveloping her in pitch-black darkness.

Kamuro Masumi was originally one of her radars, but now she has become her plaything. As for Yamamura Miki, who was sent out today, I have a feeling that she won't last long either.

Hashimoto Masayoshi seems to be showing a "giving up" attitude, because he originally had a strong desire to be in Class A, and seeing that he would most likely graduate from Class A, it would be reasonable for him to give up his efforts.

Sakayanagi Arisu felt as if she were walking on thin ice, and if she was not careful, she would fall into the deep sea under the cover of night and be licked clean by the other party.

However, another possibility is that she successfully crossed the darkness and reached the other side.

Like walking on a knife's edge, Sakayanagi Arisu enjoyed the feeling. She not only wanted to defeat him, but also hoped that he would defeat her. Being a little maid didn't seem so bad.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Hearing the girl's voice, Sakayanagi Arisu turned around and smiled when she saw her slightly out of breath.

"It's okay, I just arrived recently."

Suzuki-kun, it's such a shame, she won this special exam!

Chapter 212 Her reaction was different from what I expected

The person who appeared before Sakayanagi Arisu was Ichinose Honami, and the reason why the other party had asked to meet her tonight must be about the exam.

Considering Ichinose Honami's personality and her actions in the Snake Group, Sakayanagi Arisu felt that she would most likely agree to his proposal. Although that would be good, it still felt like something was missing.

"Did you come alone?" Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, her gaze falling behind Ichinose Honami, but she didn't see Kanzaki Ryuji.

It seems that Honami Ichinose values ​​tonight's meeting very much.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu felt a little irritated. About half an hour had passed since the group discussion, but the expected counterattack had not materialized at all.

"No, he'll be here soon too." Honami Ichinose calmed her breathing. Tonight's events weren't just her decision; she needed to inform certain trustworthy students in her class beforehand, which was why she seemed a bit rushed.

This was not only to cooperate with Suzuki Toru, but also to avoid revealing any clues and arousing the suspicion of Sakayanagi Arisu or Ryuen Sho.

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't take those words to heart, assuming they were referring to Kanzaki Ryuji, and said, "Since you asked me out, you must have thought it through, right?"

"I'd like to know what the other classes are thinking, besides our Class B?" Honami Ichinose said calmly. "Relying on just one or two classes probably won't achieve the results you want. Don't tell me you haven't contacted Class C and Class D yet."

Sakayanagi Arisu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hehe, what you can think of, I can naturally think of too. Class C has already agreed. I heard that Ryuen-kun went to the Snake Group's room today. Did he talk to you about the cooperation?"

Honami Ichinose nodded, then asked, "What about Class D?"

Unexpectedly, Sakayanagi Arisu shook her head, as if regretfully saying, "Although I talked to Hirata-kun, he couldn't guarantee us 100% that it would be successful. I think there were probably people from Class D among the traitors last night, after all, their class is really hard to describe."

The chaotic state of Class D was obvious to all, especially after the deserted island exam. Classes would also assess each other's unity and strength, and unsurprisingly, Class D was the class with the worst impression.

Of course, Class C is also showing a downward trend in evaluations now.

"In other words, result one is just around the corner. As long as we can handle some of the people in Class D, everyone will get a reward, right?"

"Yes, can I take that as your agreement?"

"Wait a minute, I have another question." Honami Ichinose changed the subject, "Why not try to get all the groups to achieve Result 1 together?"

Sakayanagi Arisu looked slightly surprised, but then she thought about it and realized that it was not surprising that she would ask such a question, given her personality. It would be puzzling if she didn't ask it.

“I’m sorry, I have thought about this issue, but we can’t guarantee that all classes and everyone will accept this proposal,” Arisu Sakayanagi said slowly. “Actually, it’s already a great courage for Class A to reveal to everyone which group our favored students are in, because betrayal doesn’t have any consequences.”

Faced with enormous profits, such fragile trust can easily crumble, and Ichinose Honami should understand this principle.

Not only that, Sakayanagi Arisu was also prepared for her to continue asking questions, even questioning why Class A dared to reveal the privileged individuals.

Unexpectedly, Ichinose Honami simply sighed and did not pursue the matter further.

“I understand. This requirement is indeed too far-fetched. I never thought of doing it. Achieving Result 1 in my own group is the best course of action, but it doesn’t matter if we can’t.”

Sakayanagi Arisu frowned. Her tone was strange, not like someone about to agree to cooperate. Moreover, she felt a faint unease, as if someone was gently scratching her palm. Her sensitive nerves couldn't completely ignore the feeling.

Something's not right tonight.

It's already this late, and there's still no notification. Could it be that Katsuragi Kohei sensed danger and is planning to lie low, not wanting to alert the other classes?

Or perhaps, this is Suzuki Toru's way of dealing with things?

Sakayanagi Arisu fell into deep thought. The fact that the results of the betrayal could be processed within 24 hours during the exam period did not necessarily mean that the candidate had given up. Perhaps they would wait until late at night to take action.

However, this doesn't really make any sense.

"Sakayanagi-san, may I ask one last question?" Ichinose Honami suddenly asked.

Sakayanagi Arisu's thoughts returned to reality, and she found the girl in front of her standing still, staring straight at her without a smile. This immediately set off alarm bells in Sakayanagi Arisu's heart, but on the surface, she suppressed her emotions and nodded gently.

"Please say."

"What kind of person am I in your eyes?" Honami Ichinose asked abruptly. "A nice guy who agrees to whatever others say? Or do you think I'm naive and easily fooled?"

Sakayanagi Arisu realized something, and a strange expression flashed across her face.

"You already know?"

"I didn't know before, but because of someone, I know now."

“So…” Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly looked towards the end of the corridor and said sweetly to the stairwell, “How long are you going to stay, Suzuki-kun~”

Under her gaze, Toru Suzuki slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Hehehe, it really is you. It's quite unexpected that you would cooperate with Ichinose-kun." Sakayanagi Arisu smiled broadly. If one didn't know the situation, they might think that she had caught Suzuki Toru and Ichinose Honami in a compromising situation.

“It’s normal to work with her, since we’re in the same group.” Suzuki Tetsu came up to her and finally saw her smile, which was like that of a night elf. Looking down a little, he could see her slender legs in stockings under her skirt, and her fair skin radiated a faint glow.

“This isn’t normal. What benefits can you offer her?” Sakayanagi Arisu laughed happily. “After all, Class B lost 100 points last night. How are you going to make up for it?”

Honami Ichinose found it strange. Logically speaking, Arisu Sakayanagi should have realized that this was a trap for her, but she was overjoyed, as if she and Toru Suzuki had fallen into her trap.

"Of course, we'll make up for the losses by taking it out on you. Who told you to contact other classes in private? It's only natural that one or two traitors would emerge." Suzuki Tetsu said matter-of-factly.

Sakayanagi Arisu was slightly taken aback, but then gradually understood his meaning. She couldn't help but purse her lips, her heartbeat quickened, blood flowed through her body, her body became slightly warm, and her pretty face was flushed. She stared intently at Suzuki Toru.

Chapter 213 Losing, Losing...

This reaction was strange; it didn't seem like she couldn't understand what he was saying, nor did it seem like she was angry or embarrassed. Instead, it seemed like she was very excited.

Could it be a sudden heart attack?

Thinking about this possibility, Suzuki Tetsu felt it was a bit troublesome, but it couldn't be called a particularly troublesome thing, since he still had a few medical supplies.

At that moment, Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly smiled at him.

"Please don't worry too much. Although my body is not very convenient, it is also quite resilient. I can tolerate this level of torment."

Her voice trembled slightly at the end, as if she were experiencing some strange sensation. Even her neck was flushed with a faint blush, and her eyes shimmered like water, making anyone who saw her think that Suzuki Toru had done something unspeakable to this petite girl.

"No one would praise their body for being tenacious, would they?"

"Faced with Suzuki-kun's strong and domineering body, as a weak little girl, I could only offer token resistance for a while."

"really?"

Suzuki Toru took a step closer to Sakayanagi Arisu, whose smiling expression froze. She suddenly realized she had made another mistake; this guy wasn't someone you could just laugh off, he was serious when it came to serious matters.

She initially thought Suzuki Tetsuya would at most touch her feet, but she never expected him to actually lick them.

And it wasn't just licking; Sakayanagi Arisu still can't forget the feeling of her tongue, let alone the sensation on her own toes.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell everyone about you and Ichinose?" Sakayanagi Arisu quickly changed the subject, taking a half-step back helplessly. Behind her was the ship's window, with nowhere to retreat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Suzuki Toru stopped in front of her. The two stood a few steps apart, almost face to face.

"what do you want to say?"

Sakayanagi Arisu looked at Ichinose Honami standing beside her. The other woman stood gracefully, with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to shine with childlike innocence beneath her slightly curved eyebrows. Her high nose bridge made her pretty face look more three-dimensional and cute. She did not wear heavy makeup, and her skin was like freshly peeled egg white. In particular, the size of her chest would make many girls feel indignant.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu was more concerned about Ichinose Honami's reaction.

Although she is very beautiful, as the leader of Class B, she cannot rely solely on her looks, otherwise she would just be a pretty face.

Given that Class B lost two privileged students, what will Honami Ichinose do?

"You sold our class's privileged student to Class B?" Sakayanagi Arisu reacted quickly, looking at Suzuki Toru with some shock.

She wasn't this surprised even if Suzuki Toru had appeared here.

Sakayanagi Arisu never expected him to do this. Wasn't Wataru supposed to see who was more suitable to lead Class A and make the other person his servant?

However, he personally handed over the privileged status of Class A to someone else.

This move would directly cause Class A to lose 150 class points. If it were Katsuragi Kohei, he obviously wouldn't make such a decision!

Therefore, Sakayanagi Arisu could hardly hide the surprise in her eyes.

“It wasn’t me who betrayed the privileged student; it was you who leaked crucial information to other classes, and then they seized the opportunity and decisively betrayed us. Katsuragi-san reacted quickly and ended the other groups’ exams immediately.” Suzuki Tetsu patiently recounted the whole process for her. “Although Sakayanagi-san made a mistake by accident, she is, after all, a classmate of mine, so Katsuragi-san had no choice but to forgive her.”

Sakayanagi Arisu fell silent. Public opinion is a tool that can be manipulated. In her hands, she could use the fact that Class A was attacked to question Katsuragi Kohei. But in the hands of another person, it would take a different turn.

Just hearing Suzuki Tetsu say that, Sakayanagi Arisu could already imagine the difficult situation she would face next.

When Class A was under attack, Katsuragi Kohei turned the tide and saved Class A from a crushing defeat. However, Sakayanagi Arisu failed to do her job well and ended up having to clean up Katsuragi Kohei's mess. It was obvious who was stronger and who was weaker.

What's truly devastating is that Katsuragi Kohei would feign generosity and forgive her.

Forgiveness means that Katsuragi Kohei is in a superior position, and she can only stand in a subordinate position, forced to accept the fact that she has been forgiven.

"Hehehe, Ichinose-san, do you think three preferential treatments are enough for you?" Sakayanagi Arisu said in a low voice, "You attack Class A yourself, but let Class A attack other groups. So, in the whole exam, the only class that achieves a positive benefit is Class A."

Suzuki Toru's approach requires another class to sacrifice itself. Both sides need to cooperate tacitly: one to attack Class A, and the other to decisively and quickly eliminate the remaining groups.
