Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Because there were no cameras here, she became even more unscrupulous.

"Did I wander onto the wrong set?"

Just as the situation was spiraling out of control, a helpless voice suddenly rang out.

Shiho Manabe suddenly snapped out of her daze and looked in the direction of the sound. She saw a tall, handsome boy standing at the bottom of the stairs, holding up his phone.

As the shutter clicked, Shiho Manabe reacted as if she'd been electrocuted, quickly letting go of Kei Karuizawa's high ponytail and glaring angrily at the boy below.

"Hey, you stinky boy, this is the girls' floor, what are you doing here?"

Suzuki Toru saw the tears in Karuizawa Megumi's eyes and frowned slightly before saying calmly, "It's nothing. I just heard a noise and came to check."

"Ha, are you a perverted voyeur?"

Even so, Shiho Manabe felt that the boy looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

At that moment, she heard Karuizawa Megumi next to her make a dazed sound.

"Suzuki-kun?"

Shiho Manabe suddenly snapped out of her daze; she remembered the boy's name!

"Are the guys from Class A trying to meddle in other people's business too?" Manabe Shiho looked down at Suzuki Toru with an arrogant expression. "Hey, I remember you're a student council member, right? Since you want to meddle, why don't you do me a favor!"

As she spoke, she pulled Karuizawa Kei in front of her, and the latter showed a momentary look of pain.

"See that? This guy deliberately bumped into Rika at the coffee shop and then smashed my phone. How is your student council going to deal with this kind of guy?"

Faced with Toru Suzuki's gaze, Megumi Karuizawa hesitated, wanting to ask him for help, but unsure how to refute Shiho Manabe's words.

Moreover, if he saw me like this, he would definitely laugh at me in his heart.

“In disputes between students, we usually try to hear both sides' testimonies and evidence, and we don’t accept baseless claims.” Suzuki Tetsuya paused. “So, you want the student council to step in and resolve this dispute?”

Manabe Shiho arrogantly said, "Isn't the evidence obvious enough? Go to a coffee shop and ask around; someone will definitely tell you what happened. Now hurry up and tell me how you want to punish this guy!"

Karuizawa Megumi bit her lower lip, staring intently at Suzuki Toru.

"Punishment depends on your demands. What do you want Karuizawa-kun to do?"

"Heh, of course we'll make her kneel down in public and apologize to us!"

"This request is acceptable and very clear."

Upon hearing his words, Karuizawa Megumi's face turned ashen, and the light in her eyes vanished.

Shiho Manabe was even more pleased with herself. She didn't know much about Toru Suzuki, but she felt great that she could get the student council vice president to listen to her!

"Because Karuizawa bumped into your friend and broke your phone, you want her to apologize, is my understanding correct?" Suzuki Tetsu asked Manabe Shiho again to confirm.

“Yes, that’s it.” Manabe Shiho sounded impatient. “You talk too much. Can’t you just punish her already?”

“I’ll try to be quick, after all, we still need to hear the other side’s demands.” Suzuki Toru looked at Karuizawa Megumi and softened his voice, “Karuizawa-san, do you have anything to say about the violence that Manabe-san and the others used against you just now?”

Karuizawa Kei was stunned for a moment.

Manabe Shiho didn't expect him to bring up this topic so suddenly. A hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed her inner turmoil and unease.

"Wait a minute, what do you mean by violence? Don't make false accusations..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Suzuki Tetsu press the shutter button on her photo.

"I'm sorry, all I see right now is that you used violence against Karuizawa, and I also have evidence on my phone."

Chapter 222 Reward Contract

"Wait, you're violating my privacy!"

Manabe Shiho showed a moment of panic, then warned Suzuki Toru with a blustering but weak tone, trying to change the subject.

"Who gave you permission to take pictures? Did I commit any acts of violence against Karuizawa? Don't think that just because you're a student council member you can distort the facts. Besides, is that even the point right now?"

Like a Gatling gun, she unleashed a barrage of words in just a few seconds, her aura growing increasingly imposing as she glared menacingly at Suzuki Toru.

"Taking photos is for evidence collection. Does that mean that police officers wearing body cameras are also violating privacy rights?" Suzuki Toru's words left her speechless.

"I don't care, we need to deal with Karuizawa's problem now. Isn't it a fact that she bumped into Rika?" Manabe Shiho felt she was in the right, and she grabbed Karuizawa Megumi's hair without any politeness. "Tell him, did you bump into Rika?"

"Ugh..." Karuizawa Kei looked pained, but the more she showed this expression, the more inexplicably angry Manabe Shiho felt.

"Damn it, what are you pretending for? Did I hurt you? Do you think this will make you feel sorry for me?"

Shiho Manabe was very annoyed. Even when her companion secretly tugged at her sleeve, she didn't care. She thought that Kei Karuizawa was just pretending to be pitiful to attract Toru Suzuki's protective instincts.

"Stop, stop scratching...it hurts..." Karuizawa Kei held back her tears, not wanting to cry in front of Suzuki Toru, but Manabe Shiho gradually increased the pressure, making her voice tremble.

"Quickly tell him, was it you..."

Just as Shiho Manabe was beginning to feel a violent urge towards Megumi Karuizawa, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her wrist, causing her to cry out in pain.

"Enough. To be honest, I've never had a good impression of delinquents." Suzuki Tetsu's tone was flat, revealing no emotional fluctuations, but he slowly pried open Manabe Shiho's hand, whose face was contorted in pain.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! What are you doing? Are you going to protect this arrogance?" Manabe Shiho felt a piercing pain. His palm felt like it was being squeezed by steel, and the force was unbelievable.

The two girls who were standing next to him wanted to come up and help, but Suzuki Tetsu glanced at them indifferently. He didn't say anything, but he made people feel a lot of pressure.

So, they stood still without hesitation.

"Come here." Suzuki Toru ignored Manabe Shiho's voice and instead whispered to Karuizawa Megumi.

Strangely, Karuizawa Kei did not react immediately, but stared straight at him.

Suzuki Toru frowned, then reached out and pulled her to his side to prevent Manabe Shiho from doing anything more to her.

Immediately afterward, Suzuki Toru looked at Manabe Shiho and whispered, "No one should have given you permission to use violence in front of the student council, right?"

"Huh? You're the one using violence against us! And we're the victims, are you going to be an accomplice?" Shiho Manabe still didn't think she had done anything wrong. Was it wrong to stand up for her friend?

To this unrepentant fellow, Suzuki Tetsu simply said, "Isn't the victim the Rika you mentioned?"

Shiho Manabe was momentarily speechless, but she quickly retorted, "Karuizawa threw away my phone before, doesn't that make her a victim?"

"Calculate."

"Heh, so what are you so smug about? You weren't tricked by this woman, were you... Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Suzuki Toru applied a little force, and Manabe Shiho's eyes welled up with tears. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this violence?"

"Of course it's violence, you idiot! Let go of me right now!" Shiho Manabe exclaimed angrily.

"She was crying out in pain just now, why don't you think it's considered violence?" Suzuki Tetsu asked again.

“Because…because…” Manabe Shiho stammered, knowing that if she continued, she would definitely not be able to get rid of the crime.

"Because Ryuen often uses violence against you and goes unpunished, you think violence is unimportant, right?"

Upon hearing him mention Ryuen Sho's name, a hint of nervousness flashed in Manabe Shiho's eyes.

"I...I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"If Longyuan heard that you had to drop out of school because of bullying classmates, what do you think he would do?"

"That's a lie! How could someone at this level possibly be expelled!"

“Don’t forget, I’m the vice president of the student council. Even the current student council president respects my ideas.” Suzuki Tetsu released her hand and spoke softly, “Besides, I have evidence that the school probably won’t allow this kind of thing to happen at Gaoyu.”

"Gulp..." Shiho Manabe shuddered. Although she tried her best to control herself, she couldn't help but feel weak in the knees when she thought of how Ryuen Sho treated his own people.

"Of course, for Class C, the expulsion of one or two delinquents will not have much of an impact. They might even feel ashamed that not only did a bully appear in their class, but he was also caught red-handed by the student council."

Shiho Manabe looked at her companions as if seeking help, only to see that they also looked fearful.

"Well, at worst, we'll just let it go. We won't pursue the matter further. Is that enough?"

Shiho Manabe felt she had made a huge concession and felt humiliated.

Suzuki Toru didn't rush to answer. He turned to look at Karuizawa Megumi, who was standing there in a daze, and asked with a straight face, "What do you think of her suggestion, Karuizawa-san? Or do you have other requests?"

It wasn't until he called her name that Karuizawa Kei snapped out of her daze. Just as she was about to say something, she heard him say in a serious tone, "Okay, I understand."

Karuizawa Kei was stunned, staring blankly at his retreating figure.

"I'm sorry, but that's clearly not enough. You might retaliate later."

"How can it be!"

"Who knows what you're thinking? Too many people are dissatisfied with the verdict and seek revenge afterwards. Of course, our student union must ensure the safety of the parties involved."

"What exactly are you trying to say? Do you want us to swear an oath?"

"There's no need for oaths; I have more faith in written contracts."

"contract?"

Faced with Shiho Manabe's questioning gaze, Toru Suzuki took out paper and pen from his pocket.

In front of everyone, he wrote down a few unremarkable agreements.

1. By signing this contract, the person agrees to the following:

2. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to reveal today's events to anyone. If anyone finds out, they will be punished.

3. The content of the punishment will be decided by Toru Suzuki;

4. This contract must not be disclosed to anyone; otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract and will be subject to punishment.

5.该契约期限是从今天起，到毕业结束，即20xx年8月14日到20xx年3月24日。

Upon seeing this, Shiho Manabe finally felt relieved and even smiled.

I thought there would be some very strict terms, but it just asked them to keep it a secret. They were so aggressive just now, it's ridiculous.

With this thought in mind, Shiho Manabe did not see that the handwriting of Tetsu Suzuki faintly shimmered with a soft glow the moment he put pen to paper.

[“Reward Contract”: You can include various unequal agreements in the contract. Once the other party signs, they will unconditionally obey the contract's contents until the contract expires.]
