Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Then, the girl suddenly remembered what had just happened. The man's instinctive reaction made her blush again, and she couldn't help but steal a glance. It seemed much smaller than before.

"I'll give you two more minutes." Horikita Suzune said with a straight face. Although she didn't know how the man would react, this novel and exciting feeling made her heart pound.

She originally thought that Suzuki Tetsu would take the opportunity to do something even more outrageous, but to her surprise, Suzuki Tetsu stopped just like that.

Of course, it's not that what happened just now wasn't excessive, but Horikita Suzune almost thought she was about to lose her virginity.

However, Toru Suzuki did not go any further.

Horikita Suzune gazed at the man before her with a complex expression. Her tightly closed eyelashes no longer betrayed her usual frivolity, and her slightly immature face still carried a youthful charm. The lines of her jaw were clean and strong, and her lips were slightly pursed, somewhat dry.

For some reason, she kept staring at Suzuki Toru's lips.

"Why would my brother fall for such a lewd guy?" Horikita Suzune murmured in a very low voice.

Just then, a slight vibration sounded beside her, which startled her.

Seeing that it was a phone screen that had lit up, Horikita Suzune breathed a sigh of relief, but then couldn't help feeling embarrassed and annoyed with herself for staring at this man for so long.

hum-

Her phone vibrated again, and Horikita Rinne glanced at Suzuki Toru.

"Someone must have messaged me. Could you please bring me your phone?" Suzuki Tetsu suddenly said.

"Can't you get up by yourself?" Horikita Suzune replied coldly.

"I can't bear to get up. Just thinking about how if I get up, Rin will run away, and I feel so sorry for her." Suzuki Toru opened his eyes and saw her angry expression.

"Heh, if you don't get up, you'll have to bear the consequences." Horikita Suzune's voice was icy cold. Now that she had done what she asked, she certainly wouldn't tolerate him staying here any longer.

Seeing this, Suzuki Toru obediently sat up.

Horikita Suzune rubbed her thigh, which had been reddened from being used as a pillow, expressionless. It was a little numb and would probably take a while to heal.

Suzuki Toru picked up his phone from the side, glanced at it a few times, and then placed a box of tissues in front of Horikita Suzune.

"What do you mean?" Horikita Suzune asked, puzzled by his actions.

Suzuki Toru paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "So it wasn't wet after all?"

Horikita Suzune was also stunned. After a while, she came to her senses and glared at Suzuki Toru through gritted teeth.

I'll kill you sooner or later!

Chapter 276 Joint Training (Bonus Chapter 7/12)

The weather was perfect, the sunlight carried a gentle warmth, and the entire track and field was filled with a chaotic interplay of light and shadow.

Because it was a physical education class, there were no students around, but some slightly glaring gazes came from the teaching building, shimmering faintly in the morning light.

At the front of the line, the PE teacher blew his whistle. He first called out the roll call, and then led Class A in warm-up exercises.

After a set of warm-up exercises, Suzuki Toru's whole body started to heat up, and then he joined everyone in practicing formations to prepare for the upcoming sports festival.

Perhaps after a week of practice, Class A was already quite familiar with the entry and exit formations, and the physical education teacher nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, the physical education teacher announced that everyone should be dismissed, and that Class A should practice each event at their own pace.

Katsuragi Kohei had already sent someone to the warehouse to borrow everything needed, and had also divided the track and field into several areas so that students could participate in different events.

At that moment, Suzuki Toru saw Sakayanagi Arisu walking towards him with Kamuro Masumi.

“Let’s go to a quiet place to practice,” Arisu Sakayanagi said first.

"It's possible, but why are you wearing this outfit?" Suzuki Tetsu looked at her sportswear, a short-sleeved shirt paired with long pants, the girl's chubby cheeks hidden under the thin short-sleeved shirt, exuding a youthful vibe.

"We still need to maintain the proper attitude." Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, her short, silver-white hair fluttering gently in the wind beside her ears. In the morning light, her fair and tender arms shimmered like delicious ice cream, making one want to lick them.

Afterwards, Sakayanagi Arisu, leaning on her cane, walked towards a less crowded area.

Seeing this, Suzuki Toru couldn't help but follow.

"Relay races and obstacle courses can't be practiced together, so let's start with three-legged races."

Upon arriving at the location, Sakayanagi Arisu handed the rope to Kamuro Masumi.

"Tch, I feel like I've become a puppet between the two of you." Kamuro Masumi pouted, but obediently squatted down, preparing to tie her calves.

She was also wearing sportswear, but perhaps for convenience, she wore shorts. Although the original designer did not intend any particular implication, the amount of fabric was simply too provocative, tightly wrapping around the girl's pert buttocks, making it hard to look away.

Even without deliberately focusing on her buttocks, her long, straight legs are even more captivating. The exposed skin on her thighs is dazzlingly white, looking incredibly elastic and delicious.

At the same time, as Kamuro Masumi moved, a glimpse of snow-white, delicate luster would be faintly revealed from the hem or cuffs of her clothes, exuding a graceful curve. Because she was squatting on the ground, Suzuki Toru could even look down at her collar, and it seemed as if a pair of rabbits were hidden under her smooth neck.

"How long are you going to make me squat?" Kamuro Masumi noticed his gaze; girls are always very sensitive to this kind of scrutiny.

Suzuki Toru silently squatted down next to her, took the rope from her hand, and then tied their calves together.

"Should Suzuki step with his right foot first, or his left?" Arisu Sakayanagi interjected from the side.

"I'll step on the left, Kamuro-kun will step on the right, and then we'll silently count 'one, two, one, two' together, keeping the rhythm," Suzuki Toru habitually instructed.

"Hmm, you're quite experienced." Sakayanagi Arisu looked at him with a grin. "But, I'm in charge now. Masumi is 1.65 meters tall, and Suzuki-kun is over 1.7 meters tall?"

"One and a half meters tall, is there a problem?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.

“Of course there’s a problem. There’s a height difference between you two. Suzuki’s legs are a bit longer than Masumi’s, right?” Sakayanagi Arisu analyzed. “At first, it might be a difference of one or two centimeters, but it will gradually increase as your stride gets longer and longer. Eventually, Masumi will inevitably be unable to keep up with your speed.”

“It’s not that exaggerated. I’ll keep an eye on him.” Kamuro Masumi retorted.

After thinking for a moment, Suzuki Toru said, "Let's see how it goes in practice first."

"I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines." Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly. "The race distance is about 100 meters, and the passing time is 45 seconds, which is faster than normal walking. You'll have to run."

The so-called passing grade was actually the last place in the previous sports festival; I have no idea where she got this information from.

When Sakayanagi Arisu told the whole class about this information today, Suzuki Tetsu was surprised.

"Let's run, as long as no one holds us back." Kamuro Masumi said nonchalantly, while secretly nudging Suzuki Toru.

Suzuki Toru stood next to her and naturally touched her shoulder, smelling a faint floral scent. It shouldn't be perfume; it might be her natural body odor or her shower gel from today.

"Alright, get set—go!"

At Arisu Sakayanagi's command, Toru Suzuki and Masumi Kamuro sprang into action.

Tread-

The two had only run a few meters when they both involuntarily fell to the ground.

"It really didn't work out." Sakayanagi Arisu shook her head repeatedly after witnessing their tragedy.

"No, no, no, this guy was running too fast!" Kamuro Masumi suddenly looked up. "Then I wasn't paying attention and the rope tripped me up."

Suzuki Toru lay on the grass, somewhat helplessly: "My problem, let's try again."

Immediately, the two stood up again, but less than ten seconds later, they fell to the ground again.

After trying more than a dozen times, without exception, all attempts failed.

Luckily it was grass, which provided some cushioning; otherwise, my knees would probably be red and swollen.

"Maintain the distance between you two, and keep your steps in sync." Sakayanagi Arisu clicked her tongue in amazement. "Aren't you two usually very in sync? Logically speaking, shouldn't you have succeeded quickly?"

"Because this guy's pace is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, I don't know how to keep up." Masumi Kamuro lay on the ground, breathing softly.

“No, you’re sometimes fast and sometimes slow, I’m just matching you.” Suzuki Tetsu lay down beside her, his eyes almost devoid of light.

"Nonsense, I've been trying my best to catch up with you!" Kamuro Masumi raised an eyebrow, her temper flaring up after falling more than a dozen times.

Suzuki Tetsuya had an "yes, yes, yes" look on his face and stopped talking.

"That's so strange. Have you two been having a fight lately?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked, puzzled.

"What does this have to do with anything?" Masumi Kamuro paused. "Besides, I have no reason to have any conflict with this guy."

Sakayanagi Arisu looked at Suzuki Toru and sighed, "Haven't you comforted Masumi-san yet?"

"Can you please stop saying such disgusting things?" Kamuro Masumi's face was full of black lines.

“As you can see, Masumi is a child who gets upset easily.” Sakayanagi Arisu looked slightly guilty. “It seems that my previous behavior displeased Masumi.”

Kamuro Masumi shouted, "I'm not jealous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, strange looks came from all around.

Chapter 277 Are you serious about backing down?

Soon, Masumi Kamuro realized that her voice was a bit too loud.

As the stares from those around her grew increasingly strange, she became so uncomfortable that she simply shut her mouth.

"Should I give you some time?" Arisu Sakayanagi's lips curled up slightly, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

"Where are you going?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.

"I'll buy you drinks." Sakayanagi Arisu, leaning on her cane, turned and left without hesitation.

Masumi Kamuro sat up without a word and then untied the ropes binding the two of them.

“I wouldn’t believe her words, let alone such a joke,” Suzuki Tetsu suddenly said.

Kamuro Masumi paused slightly, then said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with me."

“But I feel like you’re really unhappy with me.” Suzuki Tetsu glanced at her, his “emotional awareness” reminding him that she was currently very agitated.

"You're only realizing this now?" Masumi Kamuro's tone was harsh. "No one in the world would like a pervert who harasses girls."

"Is that so?" Suzuki Tetsu said. "I thought you were unhappy because you were always being bossed around by Sakayanagi-san."

Kamuro Masumi brushed a strand of hair that fell beside her cheek and raised her chin: "No, you're right. I'm also very unhappy about that. In front of the two of you, I feel like a puppet that you can manipulate at will."

Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Katsuragi later and ask him to find you a different teammate."

The fingers that had been twirling the strands of hair suddenly stopped. Kamuro Masumi stared intently at Suzuki Toru. After a while, she said casually, "Sakayanagi won't agree. She's very interested in you now. If it weren't for her own shortcomings, she'd probably go to the competition with you."

“But since you don’t want to participate, I can’t force you to participate in the competition,” Suzuki Tetsu said calmly.

Kamuro Masumi pouted unhappily: "It's really awkward for you to say something like that, especially since you forced someone to look at your private parts before."

"I never forced you."
