Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Faced with his gaze, the two reacted somewhat subtly. Wang Meiyu lowered her head, not daring to meet his scrutiny.

"Hehe, what do you think, Suzuki-kun?" Kikyo Kushida seemed completely unconcerned, placing her hands behind her back and leaning slightly forward, revealing her large breasts to Toru Suzuki. She wore a devilish smile on her face.

"I have no objection, but I'm not entirely clear on how the three-legged race works, so I can't guarantee you'll come in first." For some reason, seeing her ample bosom always reminds Suzuki Toru of Horikita Suzune.

"Getting first place would be ideal, of course, but Mei and I are aiming for second or third, anything that's good enough." Kikyo Kushida paused, glancing up at his expression. "Besides, I don't know who to ask for help. Wouldn't Suzuki-kun be willing to lend a hand?"

As she finished speaking, her voice grew softer and softer, and she began to look pitiful.

Although he knew that Kikyo Kushida was acting, Toru Suzuki's heart skipped a beat. Humans are naturally drawn to beautiful things, especially when a cute girl is using a tone that sounds like she's being coquettish.

"Alright, I'll practice with you guys." Suzuki Tetsu glanced at the jealous and envious gazes of Ike Kanji and the other boys, as well as the whispers of many girls.

Just like Arisu Sakayanagi's actions, Kikyo Kushida is now constantly reinforcing her relationship with Toru Suzuki in front of everyone, making everyone subconsciously believe that the two have an extraordinary connection.

Not only that, Kikyo Kushida can also solve some strange troubles.

For example, some boys' confessions and pursuits.

Therefore, Kikyo Kushida was very happy.

She didn't intend to steal anything, but she should have the place she deserved, the place that she rightfully occupied.

As Kikyo Kushida's good friend, Wang Meiyu, although unaware of her thoughts, could sense her feelings. Having studied in Japan for so long, she had basically learned how to read the room.

“Great, Suzuki-kun, shall we practice in the corner across the street?” Kikyo Kushida smiled broadly, seemingly just leading Toru Suzuki, and naturally took his hand before walking towards a less crowded area.

Suzuki Toru looked in Kamuro Masumi's direction, hesitating to speak.

The latter coldly turned his face away, while Sakayanagi Arisu smiled at him.

Meanwhile, Karuizawa Kei frowned in annoyance and was about to follow when Horikita Suzune suddenly approached her, saying she wanted to practice three-legged race together.

"Can't you practice with other people?"

"I'm looking for someone, but neither Onodera nor Mori can cooperate with me."

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Since the other person's status in the class has risen, Karuizawa Kei couldn't refuse her, so she simply practiced with her for a while, though her eyes would occasionally follow Suzuki Toru.

Immediately afterwards, she saw that Suzuki Tetsu had tied his legs together with Kushida Kikyo, and the two were leaning against each other intimately.

Karuizawa Megumi bit her lip. She thought of Suzuki Tetsu's words, and her heart felt heavy and anxious, yet at the same time, she felt a surge of anger.

He clearly said those things to her, but now he's hanging out with another girl. Can that be called being responsible?

"Karuizawa-san, please be serious." Horikita Suzune frowned; she could tell that Karuizawa Megumi was distracted, and her expression was stern.

“I am serious, you’re moving too fast,” Karuizawa Kei replied casually.

“Three-legged race is a cooperative game. If I move, you have to move too. That’s teamwork.” Horikita Suzune could see her gaze on Suzuki Toru and felt a little strange, but she didn’t think too much about it.

After all, Horikita Suzune didn't care at all who Suzuki Toru was with.

Karuizawa Megumi tried her best to cooperate, but because Horikita Suzune was too fast, she almost fell several times.

On the contrary, Toru Suzuki and Kikyo Kushida cooperated well, and the two successfully crossed the finish line on their first attempt.

"Hehehe, Suzuki-kun is really amazing. He was able to finish the whole course on his first try." Since it was a three-legged race, Kushida Kikyo had to stick close to Suzuki Tetsu, and since she was running out of stamina, she had to hold onto Suzuki Tetsu's arm tightly.

In this way, the girl pressed her soft body against Suzuki Toru as if a jade mountain were about to collapse. Her soft and full breasts seemed to be able to sink his arm deep into them. With the girl's breathing, she trembled slightly, making his breathing a little disordered.

“I think it’s because you cooperated well,” Suzuki Tetsu felt a chill run down his spine. He and Kushida Kikyo had been doing so well, and now they were definitely going to be in trouble.

"No, Suzuki-kun's pace is very comfortable. He patiently waits for me to catch up. It seems that Suzuki-kun is more concerned about my feelings than crossing the finish line." Kikyo Kushida smiled shyly, then lowered her voice, "How does it feel to be hugged tightly by a girl in front of everyone? It feels good, doesn't it?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Toru Suzuki's reaction.

Since realizing that she could also elicit a response from Suzuki Toru, Kikyo Kushida has become increasingly smug.

What? So I can tease this guy and embarrass him?

Just thinking about how he always made her weak all over makes Kikyo Kushida angry, and she wants to retaliate tenfold. She can't be the only one who suffers.

However, Toru Suzuki suppressed his reaction.

"Because Kikyo-chan is so cute, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life if I made you fall."

Suzuki Toru lowered his head, his black jade-like eyes looking at her with a hint of tenderness, his voice like a whisper in her ear, slightly ticklish.

In an instant, Kikyo Kushida felt her body getting hot, and her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment because she saw the smile on Toru Suzuki's lips.

This guy was clearly deliberately calling my name gently; that's despicable.

However, Kikyo Kushida didn't push him away immediately. Instead, she smiled and said, "It was definitely the right decision to ask Suzuki-kun for help. Shall we do it again?"

She planned to fall down once, and Suzuki Toru was keenly aware of this insidious idea.

"Actually, we can take it slow. The most important thing is the cooperation between the two of us. Even if you and I cooperate very well, in the end, our teammate is still Wang, right?"

Suzuki Tetsu looked at Wang Meiyu, who was standing not far away. She was also a petite little girl with a twin-tail hairstyle that made her look particularly youthful and energetic. Combined with her slightly immature face, she had the feel of a girl next door.

In a way, she's a bit like Chihiro Shiranami.

Chapter 280 The Little Invisible

Kikyo Kushida didn't show any anger on the surface, but secretly pinched Toru Suzuki's hand. The pinch wasn't very strong, but it was probably a warning to him.

"Haha, Xiaomei, let's try it too." With that, she released Suzuki Tetsu and quickly untied the rope. "Suzuki-kun's rhythm was pretty good just now, we can use it as a template."

"Um, how about we shout slogans together? I've noticed that other people seem to be more in sync when they shout slogans?" Wang Meiyu looked at the rope in Kushida Kikyo's hand with some concern. She knew she wouldn't fall down now, but girls are always afraid of these things.

“Sure, let’s count to three together, forward, forward, then stop, and then…” Kikyo Kushida stopped halfway through her sentence, then smiled as if to cover something up, “Anyway, with Suzuki-kun as a reference, let’s give it another try.”

She definitely knows how to coordinate in a three-legged race; she at least has her own experience, since this guy probably participated in group activities frequently since elementary school.

Suzuki Tetsu watched them squatting on the ground, the girls' calves bent and pressed against their soft thighs, revealing slightly cute curves, and their pert buttocks under their shorts were particularly noticeable, and he couldn't help but want to pat them.

Before Kikyo Kushida noticed, he discreetly turned his gaze away and found that Masumi Kamuro was nowhere to be seen, leaving only Arisu Sakayanagi sitting in the rest area.

That's strange, could it be that they went back?

Because they had already had a physical education class today, and there would be intensive practice in the afternoon, some students in the class were not used to this pace, so Katsuragi Kohei allowed them to stay for a while before going back.

In addition, some people will participate in club activities.

Suzuki Tetsu looked at the students in Class D. In fact, some of them were slacking off, either simply giving up or pretending to work hard.

Among them, Hasebe Haruka is the one he is most concerned about.

The other person seemed very enthusiastic and participated in the practice of every item, but she only practiced once. After finishing, she sat on the floor as if she was resting and took out her phone to play.

In contrast, the other girl's physical abilities were truly lacking.

Suzuki Toru witnessed Sakura Airi run the 100 meters, then become exhausted, her face flushed, and she was panting heavily.

Seeing her like this, Toru Suzuki even wondered if the burden on her chest was too heavy, causing too much wind resistance while running.

However, judging from the situation in Class D, Sakura Airi can indeed be ranked in the top three in their class.

However, in other people's eyes, her unfashionable appearance made her seem like a nobody, as if she had no presence at all.

While this style may help her avoid attracting attention, some troubles will inevitably follow.

Haruki Yamauchi boldly approached Airi Sakura, speaking to her with a fawning expression, while the latter seemed somewhat flustered and clearly unsure how to respond.

"You guys keep practicing, I'm going to wander around for a bit and I'll be right back," Suzuki Toru said to Kushida Kikyo, who was practicing, and then walked towards Sakura Airi.

Kikyo Kushida was about to ask a question, but when she saw his target, she couldn't help but purse her lips. He really was a lecher.

Remembering Suzuki Tetsu's occasional glances at Wang Meiyu, Kushida Kikyo's mood worsened. "Whether it's big or small, I want them all, right?"

Unaware that she was secretly criticizing him, Suzuki Toru had just walked up to Yamauchi Haruki when he heard the other ask in a somewhat coercive tone, "Hey, Sakura, want to practice three-legged race with me?"

Sakura Airi didn't know what to do at first, but when she saw Suzuki Toru's figure, her eyes lit up and she seemed to regain all her confidence. She mustered up her courage and refused, "I'm sorry, I didn't participate in the assignment competition, so... so I can't practice with you."

Haruki Yamauchi, unaware that someone was approaching from behind, said eagerly, "I know, but we can also sign up for the contest together. Sakura, don't you want the prize money?"

"Eh, prizes and awards, you probably won't get them, right?" Sakura Airi blushed slightly. Her physical fitness was terrible, and it was a bit embarrassing to say this in front of Suzuki Toru.

"We'll definitely get it. With me here, Sakura will be fine!" Haruki Yamauchi raised his voice. He was anxious. He had initially thought the unknown girl was easy to get, so why was she snatched away halfway?

Sakura Airi was stunned for a moment, then heard him continue, "I'm really good, you know. I participated in the national table tennis competition in elementary school, and in junior high school I was the main pitcher in the baseball team, wearing number 4. If you team up with me, Sakura will definitely get a lot of awards!"

Is it really that amazing?

Suzuki Toru hesitated for a moment. He had observed the situation in Class D. While Yamauchi Haruki's physical abilities were not terrible, they were at least completely lacking.

"Besides, think about it, even if Sakura doesn't participate in the assigned competition, she'll still have to participate in the three-legged race in her group, right?" Haruki Yamauchi patted his chest. "You haven't had anyone to practice with lately, have you? I can definitely practice with you. How about that, isn't it a good deal?"

Sakura Airi subconsciously looked to Suzuki Toru for help, who sighed softly and then patted Yamauchi Haruki on the shoulder.

"Wait, this is a crucial time, don't bother me!" Haruki Yamauchi may have misunderstood something, and impatiently shook off Toru Suzuki's hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bother you, but I have something to say to Sakura-san."

In an instant, Haruki Yamauchi froze, mechanically turning his head to see Toru Suzuki standing calmly behind him.

"Suzuki-kun." Sakura Airi ran behind Suzuki Toru like a rabbit that had encountered danger outside and was trying to hide in its burrow.

"You... weren't you practicing three-legged race with Kikyo-chan?" Haruki Yamauchi's face flushed red. He had just seen Toru Suzuki and Kikyo Kushida together, and gritted his teeth, thinking he was being very brave as he took his first step towards Airi Sakura.

"Why are you paying attention to me?" Suzuki Toru found it strange. "Do you know me?"

Since the start of the semester, the two have rarely had the opportunity to meet, let alone get to know each other.

Haruki Yamauchi looked at Airi Sakura, but the girl wasn't looking at him at all. Instead, she was hiding behind Toru Suzuki, her fingers gently tugging at his sleeve.

At that moment, Haruki Yamauchi heard the sound of his dream shattering; he had been cheated on!

In an instant, he felt a chill run through his body. The afternoon sun seemed too intense, making him dizzy. He had been about to raise his arms, but now they hung limply at his sides. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his heart pounded heavily in his chest, and a sour taste filled his mouth.

Haruki Yamauchi tried to force himself to remain calm, but he seemed to have lost control of his muscles and could only manage a trembling smile, feeling pathetic in his heart.

Even though Sakura Airi is a nobody he's set his sights on, there shouldn't be anyone competing with him for her. If he just makes a slight move, Sakura Airi will definitely fall in love with him.

Why, why did it turn out like this?

Haruki Yamauchi grew increasingly angry, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful to the other person, as their positions were completely different.

"Don't trust that bastard, Sakura!"

After saying that, Haruki Yamauchi used up almost all his strength and immediately took off running.
