Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"Is the problem serious?" Horikita Manabu was also surprised that Nagumo Masaru would suddenly name Ichinose Honami.

“I know this kind of person very well; I could guess what he’s going to do even with my eyes closed.” Suzuki Tetsuya paused. “To what extent will the school take his opinions into consideration?”

“Theoretically, some rules can be changed,” Horikita said. “For example, he said he wanted to remove the condition of transferring class points, which would most likely be approved.”

"Isn't the school afraid that some rules might benefit individual students?" Suzuki Toru asked.

“I’m afraid, so I can’t guarantee you what level Nagumo will go to. In fact, he probably doesn’t know himself either,” Horikita Manabu sighed.

"The school thinks that if it's a fair and just suggestion, they'll adopt Nagumo's plan, right?" Suzuki Toru asked thoughtfully.

“From now on, we can only rely on you guys. I think the earliest we’ll see a change is next semester.” Horikita Manabu stared at Suzuki Toru in front of him. He could tell that although Suzuki Toru also had goals, his focus was not on them.

"I see."

As he spoke, Suzuki Toru bowed slightly to him, then raised his head.

"From today onwards, please focus your energy on the third year and the graduation exams, President."

In an instant, a complex expression appeared on Horikita Manabu's face, a mixture of relief and worry. Finally, he stood up.

"I believe in your abilities, and I'm entrusting Lingyin to you as well."

Suzuki Tetsu looked strange. He really wanted to tell his brother-in-law not to worry, but he only dared to think it to himself.

"Hey, what about me, your senior?" Tachibana Akane said, clearly annoyed. "I've taught you a lot, haven't I? Shouldn't you be thanking me respectfully now?"

Unexpectedly, this guy has a thick skin. Suzuki Toru was quite surprised. Had she taught him anything?

Chapter 330 The Biting Senior

"Whoa, what kind of look is that?!"

For some reason, Tachibana Akane glared angrily at Suzuki Toru, as if she had been greatly mocked.

"I'm usually the one correcting your problems, like being impolite to your seniors, speaking arrogantly, not working hard, and only knowing how to bully your seniors..."

Watching her count on her fingers, Suzuki Toru was speechless. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't bring himself to respect her, even if he wanted to.

"Yes, yes, thanks to my senior's guidance, I was able to get rid of these bad habits, such as sneaking snacks in the office."

Hearing what was said earlier, Tachibana Akane was initially very happy, but the next moment her face turned completely red, and she stammered, "What... what are you talking about? I don't understand at all!"

"The thought of not being able to eat snacks in the office anymore makes me inexplicably melancholy." Suzuki Toru shook his head and sighed deeply.

Akane Tachibana couldn't take it anymore and simply rammed her head into Toru Suzuki's chest like a powerful mortar shell, causing the latter to stagger back a few steps.

"Hey, hey, hey, is the senior planning to kill someone?" Suzuki Tetsu clutched his chest.

"Ouch, that hurts! You're so hard!"

Originally intending to teach Suzuki Toru a lesson, Akane Tachibana unexpectedly bumped into herself and stumbled, clutching her head, squatting on the ground, looking at Suzuki Toru with teary eyes.

Suzuki Tetsuya fell silent for a moment; this guy was really bad at the game and loved to play.

"I told you, don't look at me like that!" Tachibana was both embarrassed and angry. She knew she was very ashamed, but who told him to bring up her affairs on purpose? It wasn't like she was refusing to share snacks with him.

"It's only been one semester, and your relationship has gotten better and better." Horikita Manabu rarely showed a smile. Seeing the two of them bickering, his mood couldn't help but lighten up a lot.

Akane Tachibana quickly stood up, hastily disclaiming any involvement: "No way... I have absolutely no feelings for this guy, my relationship with him... our relationship is 'non-existent'!"

Seeing Suzuki Toru's ambiguous smile, the girl felt her face burning hot. However, it was only natural to feel nervous in front of her crush!

Why did he make such a disgusting face? It's infuriating!

“By the way, if it weren’t for this guy, we wouldn’t have lost 100 points at the sports festival!” Tachibana Akane seemed to be changing the subject… no, she wasn’t changing the subject, she was just asking Suzuki Tetsu a simple question because she couldn’t stand his usual attitude, “When it comes to the actual competition, you really are useless.”

"So you were following my match, senior?" Suzuki Toru was surprised. "Sorry, I didn't notice you at the time."

Akane snorted twice: "Of course I've been following you. I've watched every match. Don't think you're so great just because you got first place. In the end, you still caused us to lose!"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Eh?"

"I tried my best, but in the end I not only lost, but I also dragged my senior down with me. I'm sorry."

"Wow, it's not that exaggerated!"

Because of his excellent acting skills, Akane Tachibana believed him and began to regret her words.

"I didn't mean to blame you. I was just a little annoyed with you, that's why I said that!" Akane hurriedly explained. "It's really okay, you don't need to take it to heart at all!"

Suzuki Tetsu blinked; this senior seemed to have the potential to be a mother.

"really?"

"Really, really, I was just annoyed with you."

"Oh, I see. So, shouldn't you apologize to me now, senior?"

"No... wait, are you lying to me?"

"no?"

"Whoa!"

So, without hesitation, Tachibana Akane bit Suzuki Tetsuya. Unexpectedly, she had a pair of little fangs, which made Suzuki Tetsuya grimace for a while.

In the end, Suzuki Toru had to treat her to a meal, otherwise this senior student most likely wouldn't have given in.

……

As Suzuki Toru left the student council office, he soon spotted Kiriyama Ikuha sitting on a bench, clearly having been waiting for some time.

"In the first semester of second grade, we were 400 points behind Nagumo," Kiriyama Ikuha said. "The school seems to be dissatisfied with Nagumo's strategy, and the punishments have been very severe in the last six months, so the number of class points we can get has become very small."

Suzuki Tetsu sat down next to him, and then he heard him continue, "Class 2-A's points dropped from 2100 to 1745, and 100 of those points are thanks to you. However, our points also dropped from 1700 to 1320."

Although both sides have dropped significantly, the gap remains unchanged, with a difference of over 400 points standing in the way of Class 2-B.

If it weren't for Toru Suzuki's help, the gap would most likely have widened to around 600 points.

"I'm sorry, I originally expected Nagumo to end up in last place." Suzuki Toru sighed softly. The sports festival is a test of physical strength. If the difference in strength is too great, even the best strategy will be useless.

“This is not your fault; the root of the problem lies with ourselves.” Kiriyama Ikuba said with a bitter tone, “If you had come earlier, we wouldn’t have such a huge gap with Class 2-A, but we have too many dropouts.”

Suzuki Toru remembered that Sakayanagi Arisu had told him about the dropout situation in the upper grades at the beginning of the school year. There were fewer than 10 dropouts in the third year, while there were nearly 20 dropouts in the second year.

"As exam penalties became increasingly severe, our class lost three students in the second year." Kiriyama Ikuha's mood was heavy. Unlike Nagumo Masaru's bombardment of their class, this was because the exam itself had a cruel mechanism.

From a rational standpoint, losing one or two underachieving students wouldn't be too devastating for a class. However, even excellent students risk dropping out, and Class 2B has already lost several outstanding students.

In fact, it's much more than that. Kiriyama Ikuha is well aware that his class has many problems, such as too many incompetent students and eccentric individuals.

"Does the school allow you to disclose your special exams?" Suzuki Toru asked.

"Yes, that's possible. To prevent students from leaking exam questions, the school makes the exams different for each grade," Kiriyama Ikuha replied.

"The rewards from the sports festival will likely be used in the next exam. Do you have any ideas?" Suzuki Toru felt that the school wouldn't give out any score rewards for no reason, and it was very likely a clue to the next exam.

Kiriyama Ikuba hesitated and said, "In previous years at this time, it would probably be about the written test, but I don't know much about it either."

Suzuki Toru fell into deep thought. What could he do in a written test?

Am I going to personally tutor the second-year B class?

Or perhaps they drugged Class 2-A and drugged the entire class on the day of the exam?

“Suzuki-kun, I really appreciate your help.” Kiriyama Ikuha suddenly smiled. “The class seems to have regained a lot of morale because of the sports festival. Let’s try the next exam on our own.”

"If you need any help, feel free to contact me." Suzuki Tetsu didn't dampen their enthusiasm; a class without fighting spirit is nothing.

"Hehe, what a coincidence to run into you two here today. Kiriyama, you look quite smug."

Unexpectedly, Kiryuin Fuka appeared in front of the two of them with a bright smile.

Chapter 331 Yet another stubborn fool.

The moment Suzuki Toru saw her, he immediately recalled her performance at the sports festival. Many girls couldn't keep up with her pace, and her clear laughter often rang out on the field.

Because of her overly active behavior, her classmates were overjoyed, thinking that Kiryuin Fuuka was going to repent.

However, Kiryuin Fuka remained defiant, and after the competition, she walked out of the track and field as if she had just finished exercising.

At that moment, she was carrying shopping bags with exquisite brand logos, several bags in total, indicating that she had just returned from the Beech Tree Shopping Center.

"What are you doing here?" Kiriyama Ikuha was annoyed by her sudden appearance. If it weren't for her good performance at the sports festival, her tone would probably have been even more impatient.

"That's a question I should be asking you. Are you planning to ambush some pretty girls here?" Kiryuin Fuuka chuckled, then added when she saw Kiriyama Ikuha's face darken. "Kiriyama, don't make that face. I'm a pretty girl, you know, for goodness' sake."

"Getting involved with you is a waste of time," Kiriyama Ikuha said bluntly. "If you have something to say, say it quickly; if not, go back now."

This is the only way for students to return to their dormitories, which is why Kiriyama Ikuha specifically waited for Suzuki Toru here. It was not particularly unexpected that the two would meet here.

"Kiryuin-senpai, do you want me to take you home?" Suzuki Tetsu glanced at her shopping bag, presumably containing the personal points he had given her.

"Hehe, we're both men, but the younger generation is definitely more considerate." Kiryuin Kaede smiled. "To be honest, thanks to your points this month, my heart has felt a little satisfied."

Nonsense. With 20 yuan a month in friend fees, plus 50 yuan in bonuses, you could do the work of a father countless times outside.

"Actually, I was more surprised by you, senior. I thought you wouldn't accept it."

"Oh dear, are you regretting it?"

"If I run out of money, will my senior just dump me?"

"Is that really what you're worried about?"

Kiryuin Fuka seemed oblivious to Kiriyama Ikuha's dark expression, and simply sat down on their bench, squeezing herself right between them.

"Never mind, I'm going back." Kiriyama Ikuha stood up. "Suzuki-kun, let's talk later. I'll tell you the details."

"Can't you tell me?" Kiryuin Fuka called out to Kiriyama Ikuha with great interest.

"Do you care about things in the class?" Kiriyama Ikuba asked curtly.

"Oh dear, just because you weren't interested before doesn't mean you're not interested now. Besides, it's quite interesting that you're asking a junior for help." - Kiryuin Kaede

“If it weren’t for someone like you in Class B, I wouldn’t have had to ask others for help.” Kiriyama Ikuha squeezed out a sentence through his clenched teeth.

"So it was me who got in Kiriyama's way?" Kiryuin Fuka seemed completely oblivious to his expression.

"Since the start of the semester, you haven't contributed anything to the class at all. You either act alone or arbitrarily interfere with class decisions. I hope you have some self-awareness." Kiriyama Ikuba sounded somewhat sarcastic, feeling extremely annoyed.
