Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Just as Horikita Suzune thought Suzuki Tetsu would continue doing something, he suddenly stopped and quietly stared at Horikita Suzune.

That look brought Horikita Suzune back to reality. She stared at him in shock, then became surprisingly angry and pushed him away.

"That's outrageous! You forcibly kissed me without even asking for my permission!" Horikita Suzune's eyes were icy. "Or are you planning to take this opportunity to go all the way with me?"

Regardless of how she felt just now, as she regained her senses, she felt a little scared. What if Suzuki Tetsu continued doing that?

She suddenly felt disillusioned with Suzuki Toru, because it was precisely because of his constant restraint that she had gone along with his antics.

“Because Suzune once said, either you kill me, or you fall in love with me,” Suzuki Tetsu said softly. “I don’t want to die, so in order for you to like me, I have no choice but to fall in love with you first.”

Horikita Suzune remained silent, her thoughts in turmoil, not only because of the kiss just now, but also because of a strange feeling that was emanating from her.

"Do you think I would believe the words of a lecherous man?"

"No, quite the opposite. Precisely because I am a lecher and Suzune is a beautiful girl, I am certain that I will fall in love with you."

"They clearly said from the beginning that they would expel me from school."

"My resolve hasn't changed. When you fail, I will expel you without hesitation, but I might leave with you."

"..."

boom!

A moment later, Suzuki Toru watched as Horikita Suzune closed the door, leaving only him and Kushida Kikyo on the bed in the room.

Chapter 327 What is your relationship?

As the sports festival came to a close, the weather officially turned cooler, and yellow leaves gradually appeared on the roads.

On the eve of the student council election, Sakayanagi Arisu came to the student council office and saw Nagumo Masayuki sitting on the sofa with no one around.

"I thought you would take the chairman's seat ahead of time."

Nan Yunya showed no impatience with her words, but instead smiled slightly: "I have great respect for Chairman Horikita, and I dare not overstep my bounds until he retires."

"I heard the student council is holding elections next week. Aren't you planning to prepare for the elections?" Sakayanagi Arisu put her hat on the table and sat down opposite Nagumo Masaru. "It's rare to have two vice presidents who are equally capable."

Nan Yunya suppressed her smile. Was she deliberately bringing up Suzuki Toru in front of her?

"Hehe, first-year students are too inexperienced and do not know much about this school, so they are not qualified to be president. Besides, this is also President Horikita's idea."

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled wryly. Clearly, Nagumo Masaru had already been hurt; otherwise, he would have confidently declared that Suzuki Toru was no match for him in the election.

Instead of suddenly bringing up the issue of seniority, it seems he was quite wary of Suzuki Toru's attempt to get second-year students involved.

Although Class 2-A did not suffer a huge loss in the sports festival, it gave other classes hope. In addition, Nanono Masaru's personal performance has made people wonder if he is no longer capable.

"Getting back to the point, are you satisfied with my gift?" Sakayanagi Arisu said calmly, recalling the tacit understanding between herself and Suzuki Toru, a smile involuntarily appearing in her eyes.

"Judging from the results, your gift is not bad, but it didn't have much effect. It was only because of the group battle that we lost, which is not satisfactory to me." Nan Yunya tried his best to appear calm and collected, but his fingers were already deeply embedded in the armrest of the sofa.

“If I go too far, I risk being exposed,” Sakayanagi Arisu said softly. “Ryuen-kun is supposed to be your accomplice, right? He’s the sole winner of the sports festival. Even he can’t satisfy you?”

"All you know are a few despicable tricks." Nan Yunya said coldly, completely forgetting that she herself was also accustomed to such methods.

After a while, Nan Yunya continued, "Katsura in your class is also one of Suzuki's men. As far as I know, the two of them are about to take control of Class A. Your future will probably be lost to them."

"How do you know?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked without the slightest change in expression.

“Only three first-year students have joined the student council, two of whom are from Class A.” Nagumo Masayuki paused deliberately. “Although Ichinose is quite capable, Suzuki or Katsuragi are clearly more outstanding and will likely become the student council president in the future.”

"Hehehe, who can say for sure what will happen a year from now?" Sakayanagi Arisu smiled, then asked, "Did you call me here today just to talk about the student council and Suzuki-kun?"

"As a return gift, I would like to invite you to join the student council." Nagumo Masaru stopped being polite; it was for this purpose that he had Sakayanagi Arisu come over today.

Originally, the plan was to support Ichinose Honami to counter Suzuki Toru, but the other party did not appreciate it at all. Since that was the case, Nagumo Masayuki had no choice but to find another target.

Sakayanagi Arisu is a good candidate; having her join the student council should be able to keep Suzuki Toru in check.

“I appreciate your kind offer, but the student council is really not a good fit for me.” Sakayanagi Arisu refused decisively. “Given my personality, the student council can only be led by me.”

"This year's first-graders are really boastful." Nan Yunya squinted, as if she had remembered something.

Just as Sakayanagi Arisu was about to speak, he heard him continue, "However, I have another gift in return, which I believe will satisfy your desires."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sinister smile appeared on Nan Yunya's face.

……

"Wow, I had so much fun today! I really hate sports festivals!"

"Meng-chan is so awful. I told you I wouldn't fall, but you still clung to me so tightly."

"However, Kamuro from Class A is amazing!"

"This is the first time I've seen a girl this amazing; even guys can't catch her!"

"I! I want her autograph!"

On the way back to the dormitory from the Beech Tree Shopping Center, seeing them chatting and laughing, Ichinose Honami couldn't help but smile.

Although Class 1-B lost 50 points in the Sports Festival, no one was particularly frustrated, let alone complained. After all, it was a competition that relied on physical strength, and you can't force it.

Speaking of Kamuro Masumi, Ichinose Honami thought of Suzuki Tetsu, wondering what he was feeling now, and whether he was having a headache because of the class's defeat.

The two had spoken on the phone, and she had tried to probe Suzuki Toru, but he didn't react much and didn't seem upset at all.

That said, it seems like the two of them haven't spent much time alone together lately. Should they try going on a date?

As Ichinose Honami thought about all these random things, her face involuntarily flushed. Her first date must have been on the cruise ship, right?

"Fanbo-chan?" Amakura Asako called out to her.

"Eh, is something wrong?" Ichinose Honami snapped out of her daze, then realized she had said the wrong thing.

"Sakayanagi-san is ahead, it seems like she's waiting for us?" Asako Amakura didn't notice her odd behavior.

Honami Ichinose suddenly felt relieved. Since the summer vacation, Asako Amakura seemed to have returned to her former state and had not mentioned Toru Suzuki in front of her again.

There shouldn't be any problems, but Ichinose Honami is still very concerned, she just doesn't know how to tell Amakura Asako.

"I didn't expect to run into you on the way back. Looks like I won't have to go to any more trouble, Ichinose-san."

At that moment, Sakayanagi Arisu appeared in front of Ichinose Honami. She was leaning on a cane, wearing a hat and a school uniform, but she looked like a little princess.

"Is there something you need from Sakayanagi-san?" Ichinose Honami noticed her uniform. She must have just returned from the school building, as only the school building required wearing a uniform.

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't rush to answer, but instead smiled at Amakura Asako and the others: "Excuse me, could I borrow Ichinose-san for a moment?"

"No, no problem."

They naturally wouldn't want to bother them any longer, so they smiled and said goodbye to Ichinose Honami before heading back towards their dorm.

"You two have a great relationship, it's truly enviable."

What do you want to say to me?

"Hehe, this place isn't very convenient, let's take a short walk around."

Sakayanagi Arisu walked off in another direction on her own. At this time of week, students were either in their dormitories or at the Keyaki Shopping Center.

Honami Ichinose followed behind her, completely bewildered, wondering what she wanted to talk to her about.

What is your relationship with Suzuki-kun?

Chapter 328 Please Keep Your Distance From Him

Faced with this unexpected question, Honami Ichinose had imagined what kind of situation she would face and even considered many possible answers.

Although initially taken aback, Honami Ichinose knew how she should answer.

"Eh, what's the relationship between me and Suzuki-kun?" She was pretending to be clueless, and even she herself was surprised to realize this.

The original answer would have been "a very interesting friend" or "Suzuki-kun is a good person," which would have been a simple way to brush it off, since neither Suzuki nor she wanted to expose this secret relationship.

However, she felt a tightness in her chest and a strange anxiety that made her unable to speak.

Especially when she thought about Sakayanagi Arisu's performance before the start of the sports festival, Ichinose Honami felt uneasy, as if she would lose something precious if she hesitated even for a moment.

"Playing dumb isn't your style, Ichinose-kun," Sakayanagi Arisu said softly. "Although you're cautious and restrain your feelings, your eyes don't lie. You have feelings for Suzuki-kun, don't you?"

For a fleeting moment, a hint of panic flashed in Ichinose Honami's eyes, but she forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? I have feelings for Suzuki-kun? If you mean feelings for a friend, then I really do like Suzuki-kun."

So it turned out I couldn't hide it from others after all?

Despite her best efforts to distance herself from him, she couldn't escape being exposed, and it seems she betrayed his kindness.

Honami Ichinose pursed her lips, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief. If she were exposed, it would also mean that she could be with Toru Suzuki openly, which didn't seem so unacceptable.

"Having witnessed his sweet talk, it's hard not to fall for this man." Sakayanagi Arisu didn't dismiss her excuse, but instead said quietly, "But from your perspective, can you really like him?"

"It's fine who I like, it's a personal matter. On the contrary, why would Sakayanagi-san care about me and Suzuki-kun?" Ichinose Honami suddenly didn't want to pretend anymore. Someone is indeed very vulgar, but sometimes she can be very serious.

Sakayanagi Arisu stopped and suddenly turned to look at her, a half-smile on her face. She said softly, "One day before, thanks to Suzuki-kun, you realized how terrible this school was. Am I right?"

As if struck by lightning, Honami Ichinose stood frozen in place, her mind reeling. How could she know what had happened?

"Are you shocked?" Sakayanagi Arisu looked at the trees beside her. As autumn approached, the treetops had already begun to turn yellow, and the bleak air was blowing her hat.

Honami Ichinose knew her reaction was too obvious, and even if Arisu Sakayanagi was unaware of it before, she should be certain now.
