Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"That's true, but whether anyone will ultimately transform is something I don't know," Suzuki Tetsu said. "After all, in some people's eyes, strength is just data on paper, which can be quantified and evaluated."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cheerful voice came from behind.

"Hehehe, it seems this student has a lot of opinions about our school's practices."

Suzuki Toru's eyelids twitched a few times. Before he could turn around, Sakayanagi Arisu frowned and complained, "Didn't you say you wouldn't talk to me at school?"

"No, I'm just a little interested in this student. It's rare to meet a junior who shares my views." The other person's ability to argue was superb.

Suzuki Toru silently turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of him. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth made him look very refined and gentle, giving people a feeling of wanting to get close to him, like a kind and patient teacher.

Sakayanagi Arisu sighed, then introduced him, "This is a real headache, Suzuki-kun. This is my father."

Yes, he is also the current chairman of the board of directors of this school.

Chapter 310 You two aren't dating, are you?

At this point, should we greet him as "Uncle" or address him as "Respected Chairman"?

To be honest, Suzuki Tetsu had looked into the other party's background, although he had only searched for information about the other party online, but he could still get a general idea of ​​the other party's status.

Her ancestors seemed to have come from a government background, and she appears to have encountered some setbacks in politics. Her father was the first chairman of the board of directors of the High Education Institute, who was also the grandfather of Sakayanagi Arisu.

Although Japan suffered a crushing defeat in the past, with a certain five-star emperor presiding over the abolition of many old cultural practices, the core of Japan has not changed much.

Those in power are still the same ethnic Chinese from the past, the so-called generational members of parliament. They possessed a great deal of wealth in the past and can still be elected as members of parliament today through their financial power.

Sakayanagi Narimori also inherited his father's position, and the high-ranking position fell into his hands.

Suzuki Toru was very interested in this person, not only because he was Sakayanagi Arisu's father.

"It's rare to meet you today, won't you introduce this classmate to me?" Sakayanagi Narumi smiled at his daughter. He had just seen the two leaving from the audience and decided to come and see for himself.

“Didn’t you say you were interested in him?” Sakayanagi Arisu pouted. “You should know more about Suzuki-kun’s situation than I do, including his past.”

"This is too much of a blow to Dad. Although we investigated the students' basic information during the enrollment process, I don't need to go through everyone's information."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Tetsuya's heart stirred slightly. Had Gao Yu investigated the students' basic situation?

Perhaps sensing his unusual behavior, Sakayanagi Narumi glanced at him with a slight smile.

Suzuki Toru reacted quickly and took the initiative to greet the other party: "Nice to meet you, Chairman. I am Suzuki Toru, a classmate."

"Hehe, hello. I remember you did something quite remarkable around April or May." Sakayanagi Narimori still had a smiling expression, showing no sign of sternness.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for the school." Suzuki Toru showed a hint of self-reproach.

“Don’t take it to heart. Being able to do these things shows that you are a student who doesn’t stick to the rules. I won’t criticize you.” Sakayanagi Narumi paused for a moment. “However, breaking the rules is one thing, but acting recklessly is another. Without the constraints of rules, this place will only become a lawless paradise.”

“I heard that the school has thousands of rules, and teachers will give corresponding answers whenever students ask questions. Under this premise, I think no one should act recklessly.”

"Rules are just rules; after all, my father's wish was to nurture the future hope of this country."

"Aren't some graduates already active on the front lines?"

Sakayanagi Narumi suddenly laughed. He looked at his daughter and said with a smile, "Your classmate is very good at reading people's minds. It reminds me of a junior from a few years ago."

He wanted to remind Suzuki Tetsu that it was better to stick to the rules than to break them, but Suzuki Tetsu implied that his rules were perfect and that he would hardly have a second chance.

Afterwards, in response to his sentiments, Toru Suzuki reminded him that many of the graduates of the Higher Education Institute are already active and have become the new generation in various industries.

These words, though seemingly flattering, were perfectly measured, neither too much nor too little, ensuring that they would neither offend Sakayanagi Narumi nor make him appear subservient.

In other words, Sakayanagi Shigemori felt that the conversation between the two was very natural, and that it was already quite good for a high school student to have such an attitude towards the chairman.

“He’s far more than just someone who can read people’s minds.” Sakayanagi Arisu said quietly, for no one knew Suzuki Toru better than her.

Suzuki Toru looked slightly embarrassed and couldn't quite find a response.

"To be honest, if I didn't know he didn't have any children, I probably would have thought you were his illegitimate child." Sakayanagi Narumi sighed, then seeing Suzuki Toru's puzzled expression, he added, "You must have taken our school's entrance exam, right?"

Suzuki Tetsu wanted to shake his head. He was forced into this place by the wish-granting machine, how could he have gone through an entrance exam?

However, Sakayanagi Shigemori did not let him answer, but continued, "This school conducts a pre-admission survey of junior high school students nationwide and only allows students who meet the school's requirements to enroll. The interview and written test are just formalities. No matter how low the score is, as long as you meet the requirements, you can be admitted."

So they investigate students' backgrounds beforehand; no wonder some students with pitifully low scores are still able to get in.

"So, I'm also a qualified student?" Actually, Suzuki Toru had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on; otherwise, a student like Totsuka Yahiko wouldn't be in Class A.

"Yes, after reviewing your application, I determined that you meet our school's admission requirements." Sakayanagi Shigemori smiled slightly. "It seems my judgment was correct."

"Why are you telling me all this?" Suzuki Tetsu realized that the chairman shouldn't be saying such things to an ordinary student.

“You are now a student of the High School of Education. Even if I don’t tell you now, you will find out later.” Sakayanagi Narumi looked deeply at Suzuki Toru, a gaze that certainly didn’t seem to be directed at an ordinary student.

However, he immediately turned to Sakayanagi Arisu, hesitated for a moment, and a father's worry for his daughter naturally showed in his eyes.

"By the way, you two aren't dating, are you?"

"You've said too much, Dad," Sakayanagi Arisu said coldly. "Could it be that you followed me because you're worried about my relationship?"

Sakayanagi Shigemori didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he laughed heartily: "Haha, who can blame me for making Arisu so adorable? As her father, of course I care about who wins her heart."

I had a feeling that this father was trying to hide his anxiety with laughter, afraid of hearing a certain answer.

“This is embarrassing, please stop talking about it, Dad.” Sakayanagi Arisu sighed. “Even if Suzuki and I aren’t dating, your daughter needs her own private space.”

"That's good." Sakayanagi Shigemori subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then realized that the person in question was present, and couldn't help but smile, "You two can continue your conversation, see you another day."

Watching his departing figure, Suzuki Tetsu unconsciously glanced at Sakayanagi Arisu beside him. With a father like that around, it seemed the girl's conquest would be much more difficult.

"Were you nervous just now?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked abruptly.

"Really?" Suzuki Toru asked, somewhat surprised.

“You seem to be afraid of something; your shoulders are tense,” Sakayanagi Arisu pointed out his earlier reaction.

"..." Suzuki Toru didn't know what to say. Any boy would be nervous when facing a girl's parents, right?

Besides, he had licked someone else's daughter's feet; just thinking about it made him feel guilty.

“My father has always been very good to me. He’s a kind-hearted person and wouldn’t do anything excessive, so don’t worry.” Sakayanagi Arisu gave a mischievous smile. “As long as you listen to me obediently, I definitely won’t tell him.”

This guy knew exactly what he was thinking; the two of them must have been thinking about the same thing just now.

Chapter 311 Sweating profusely

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm actually kind of missing how I felt back then."

Suzuki Toru glanced furtively at her pert buttocks. Often, the effectiveness of a threat depends entirely on how thick-skinned the person involved is.

"Disgusting." Sakayanagi Arisu's ears burned. In all her life, she had never been spanked, let alone touched by a man.

I was a little angry at first, but seeing his nonchalant attitude, I found it hilarious. This guy seemed to have two personalities: one responsible for the positive image, and the other treacherous, cunning, and lecherous.

"Where were we?" Sakayanagi Arisu stopped abruptly, her train of thought suddenly interrupted, and the atmosphere between them became strange.

Speaking of which, wouldn't you say that was the first time I met your parents?

"I shared my thoughts on Gao Yu, but it seems your father has similar ideas?" Suzuki Tetsu wanted to chat with Sakayanagi Narumi for a while longer, but unfortunately, the man didn't appreciate it.

“Actually, my father was greatly influenced by my grandfather. He admired my grandfather very much, and it was he who took the initiative to take over this school.” Sakayanagi Arisu revealed these little-known secrets. “Although this school is a special high school led by the state, its original purpose was not pure at all. Suzuki-kun, do you know about the factions in the political arena?”

"I know a little." Suzuki Toru had met some ministers, but only in the previous world.

“My father and grandfather belonged to the same faction, especially my grandfather. He had access to many ministers back then and was also a confidant of a certain important figure,” said Sakayanagi Arisu. “Perhaps due to his background in the education system, or perhaps because he wanted some capital, my grandfather proposed the idea of ​​higher education, which was eventually adopted by the higher-ups. In the years of promotion, it seems to have become one of the most promising directions for education reform.”

Suzuki Tetsu could understand the reason. Regardless of the quality of the higher education, the graduates of Class A could freely choose employment and further education, while they could only be accepted by the government and large corporations.

This is equivalent to Gao Yu cultivating a new generation for the government and large enterprises. These people will have access to more social resources in the future, and the higher their status, the more it will prove Gao Yu's superiority.

With the deliberate promotion of politicians, a score that was originally only six points can be magnified to ten points, or even nine points.

"However, my father has been under a lot of pressure lately, not only because some people are questioning whether Gaoyu's system is too conservative and has not changed over the years, but also because reforms should be continued."

Sakayanagi Arisu sighed deeply. In fact, these voices had reached higher levels, and even people from the same faction would attack each other.

"Moreover, someone has established an educational institution that is comparable to Gaoyu, although I don't want to admit that it is an educational institution at all; at best, it is just an assembly line."

"assembly line?"

“They start cultivating so-called geniuses from infancy, selecting the most talented children through constant competition until adulthood, or eliminating all of them in the earlier courses. Otherwise, these children are forbidden to leave and have never even seen the outside world.”

Suzuki Toru was stunned for a moment. Has Japan gone this far in cultivating geniuses from infancy?

“I’ve talked to you about Ayanokouji-kun before, haven’t I?” Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly. “He is a genius from there. Those people call him their greatest masterpiece, the greatest achievement of the fourth generation.”

"Was he the only one who held on until the end?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.

“As far as I know, that should be the case, although I don’t know how he escaped,” Sakayanagi Arisu replied.

"I can't see anything special about him," Suzuki Toru said honestly.

"Having escaped from his cage, he must be very curious about everything outside, like a two- or three-year-old child who wants to explore the world." Sakayanagi Arisu smiled. "I originally wanted to force him to take action and bury this artificial genius with my own hands, but then I met you."

"You know him very well?" Suzuki Tetsu asked again.

"We met once when we were little, I think we were childhood friends." Sakayanagi Arisu emphasized the last sentence intentionally or unintentionally, her eyes full of teasing smiles. "Is that answer satisfactory?"

"So, you're one of those who were eliminated too?"

For a moment, Sakayanagi Arisu fell silent. Shouldn't this guy be angry and jealous?

It seems like I'm the one who should be angry.

“I am a true genius.” The girl said expressionlessly. “I am different from Ayanokouji-kun. I have never lost since I was born. No matter what I learn, I can quickly master it and become an expert.”

"So, I'll soon have a very clever little maid?" Suzuki Toru was somewhat surprised; her words made one's imagination run wild.

Sakayanagi Arisu almost raised her cane to hit him, but out of consideration for her upbringing, she could only sullenly hold back, taking a deep breath: "Do you think you can get what you want at the sports festival?"

"Unless Ayanokouji-san single-handedly takes down the entire audience, I can't imagine anything unexpected happening."

"Hehehe, you want to put pressure on Class A, why can't I take advantage of the situation?" Sakayanagi Arisu narrowed her eyes. "After all, you and Katsuragi made the decision back then, and the mistake of decision led to Class A losing the sports festival. You can manipulate public opinion, so why can't I?"

It's actually a matter of the right to speak. The same thing can be interpreted from different perspectives and angles. Sakayanagi Arisu wanted to preemptively define the failure of this sports festival as Katsuragi Kohei's incompetence.

After all, Class A's failure needs someone to take responsibility.

"You submitted the entry form yourself, didn't you?" Suzuki Toru asked.

"Really?" Sakayanagi Arisu looked at him with a smile. She had expected this, so she only used a secondary account to send a message to Nagumo Masaru, and deleted the secondary account afterward. "If you don't have evidence, please don't make accusations against others, okay, Suzuki-kun?"
