Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"Because he hasn't broken up with his girlfriend, and he's been shopping a lot lately." Suzuki Tetsu walked up to him. "We owe a lot to Kiriyama-senpai and Iijima-senpai in this regard. By the way, Iijima-senpai, you can come out now."

Around the corner not far away, a boy came out, looking cautiously. After looking around and making sure no one was there, he slowly approached.

Katsuragi Kohei was somewhat surprised. He had a vague impression of this person, but couldn't recall him immediately.

"Just in case, do you really trust this person?" The other person looked at Katsuragi Kohei. "I've heard that he's often with Nagumo. Aren't you afraid that he's already secretly sided with Nagumo?"

Before Katsuragi Kohei could clarify his position, Suzuki Tetsu smiled and said, "This is our class leader. I believe he wouldn't do that, and he will help you defeat Nagumo."

"Okay, I hope you can understand how I feel. Nagumo is in a bad mood right now, and I suspect that someone will drop out of school again in this special exam."

"Using expulsion and class transfer as a means of coercion and enticement, this scheme is neither particularly clever nor too bad. Speaking of which, do you want to teach Nan Yun a lesson, or make him disappear from Class 2-A?"

"...Disappearing is impossible, and without him, the class's standing would be precarious."

"I understand."

Katsuragi Kohei hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself. Suzuki Toru had already walked up to him and asked, "Does anyone already know about this?"

“I took photos before I left, and I have already sent them to Nagumo.”

Can I see your phone?

"..."

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't trust you, but I still have a lot of things to ask of you."

Under Suzuki Tetsu's gaze, the other party reluctantly handed over his phone, revealing that his chat history with Nagumo Masaru indeed contained today's conversation.

"Okay, thank you for your help today, Iijima-senpai. Please keep an eye on the class from now on."

Suzuki Tetsu returned the phone, and the other person gradually retreated into the corner.

"Have you already teamed up with the upperclassmen?" Katsuragi Kohei couldn't help but ask.

It seems I forgot to tell Katsuragi Kohei that it's normal for him to be surprised by Iijima's sudden appearance.

"I apologize for asking you to meet with Mizowaki-senpai at the coffee shop today. I just wanted others to see you two meeting in private," Suzuki Toru told Katsuragi Kohei. "Iijima-senpai has already seen your meeting and reported it to Nagumo as usual."

Katsuragi Kohei paused for a moment. He had only been asked by Suzuki Toru and genuinely thought he was to ask Mizowaki Mizuto for help. He couldn't help but wonder, "Wouldn't it be terrible if Nagumo-senpai saw this?"

“It is indeed terrible, but it wouldn’t have been a big deal anyway. You’ve been by his side the whole time, but you haven’t shown any loyalty. He knows exactly what we’re up to.”

"No... what does this have to do with Mizowaki-senpai?"

"Of course, it's to make Nan Yun feel that he has no one he can trust anymore."

……

The following day, Class 2-A.

Mizowaki Mizuto arrived at the classroom as usual, but he keenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere, especially the strange looks around him. Tonkawa Sousuke looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"Mizowaki, where were you yesterday afternoon?" Nan Yunya sat in her seat, not looking up, her tone indifferent.

Oh no, he couldn't escape Nan Yunya's eyes after all. Mizowa Mizuto's heart sank, but he didn't think too much about it. After all, they met in a coffee shop, so there was no need to feel guilty.

"Katsura asked me to meet him at a coffee shop, saying he had something to ask me."

"Oh, what is it?"

As Nanono Aya raised her head with a slightly bored expression, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. Many students walked out of the classroom in tacit agreement, their voices lowered considerably. Asahina Nazuna looked at this scene with some concern.

Mizowa Mizuto felt a little flustered. The atmosphere was similar to that before Nangumo Masa decided to expel someone from the class.

"Iijima said you're discussing a special exam for first-year students, is that right?"

Mizowaki Mizuto was stunned for a moment, then saw the boy not far away smiling at him slightly. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought it was something serious, but it turned out there was a witness speaking up for him.

“Yes, he wants me to help him set the questions, and in return, he will give me personal points as compensation,” Mizuto Mizowaki explained. “I thought if we could master some of the questions for their class, it would be easier to help Ryuen and the others deal with Class 1-A.”

Nan Yunya looked at him coldly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Making decisions on your own? Do you think he and Suzuki didn't expect us to help Ryuen?"

Gouxi Shuidou was stunned for a moment.

"I didn't ask you to agree to him. No matter how you look at it, it's all Suzuki's scheme, although I don't know what he's thinking." Nan Yunya sneered, "If it were me, I would put you in charge of making the entire exam paper and then change it the day before the exam. What do you think Ryuen and the others would do then?"

Mizowaki Mizuto's expression changed; he hadn't expected this at all—what a cunning first-year student.

"I'm sorry, that's something I didn't overlook."

Nan Yunya waved her hand dismissively at his apology and said indifferently, "Since you've agreed, do your best for them. I want to see what Suzuki is thinking."

"Understood." Mizowaki Mizuto lowered his head slightly, indicating that the matter was over.

However, Nan Yunya's voice pulled his thoughts back to the cold reality in the next moment.

"However, Mizowaki, there's something I'm curious about." He gave a completely unsmiling smile. "You're in the student council just like me, and you've spent so much time with me. You should know very well how I feel about Suzuki, right?"

Mizowaki Mizuto's pupils seemed to tremble; he appeared to have made a mistake, something Nagumo Aya hated most.

"I've waited all night, and you still haven't reported this to me." Nangumo Masashi smiled. "Mizowaki, why did you agree to Katsuragi's request?"

In an instant, Mizuto felt himself drenched in sweat.

"Iijima said you accepted 70 personal points. Is it really possible that you would agree to Katsuragi's request for such a small amount of personal points? That's strange. I remember that the school should have given you quite a few personal points this month, and I haven't treated you badly before."

Mizowaki Mizuto subconsciously looked at Iijima, who awkwardly scratched her head, her hands unconsciously clenching together before relaxing.

Nan Yunya didn't miss Mizowaki Mizuto's reaction. His expression was uncertain. In fact, he didn't suspect his subordinate, but the traitor in the class still had to be found.

Everyone has to go through trials, especially students like Mizuto Mizoreki.

Chapter 357 She still refused to believe in evil

What happened in Class 2-A was told to Toru Suzuki by Iijima, and Mizuto Mizowaki eventually revealed his purpose.

He started collecting personal points for his girlfriend.

Nangumo Masaru was very clever. Instead of continuing to doubt Mizowaki Mizuto, she immediately transferred one million personal points to Mizowaki Mizuto in front of the whole class, indicating that she would take care of his girlfriend in the future.

However, he also stated sternly that this was a reward for honest comrades, and that if any traitor continued to conceal their actions, they would bear the consequences.

Suzuki Tetsu asked Iijima to delete their chat history. Even though they were communicating through alternate accounts, it was still necessary to clear the chat history and change alternate accounts from time to time to prevent Nagumo Masa from suddenly checking the whole class's phones.

Back in her dorm, Karuizawa Kei sneaked over again that night, bringing her textbooks, and cheerfully asked Suzuki Tetsu to teach her for a few hours.

According to her, none of the others, including Matsushita Chiaki, suspected her request for leave. Only Kushida Kikyo asked a couple of questions with some suspicion, but she still managed to brush it off.

However, Karuizawa Kei heard about the library incident from other students and became a little jealous of Suzuki Toru, causing a minor tiff. As a result, she had no choice but to let Suzuki squeeze her again.

Perhaps because the first time went so smoothly, her body recovered quickly. After the massage, the girl ran back with a flushed face.

Thanks to this, Suzuki Toru has accumulated another ten consecutive rewards, almost all of which came from Karuizawa Megumi's rewards.

After a ten-pull, I only got one valuable reward.

Congratulations on receiving the reward – "Fixed Anchor Point"!

["Fixed Anchor Point": Allows selection of a target from any randomly changing set of targets, ensuring that the target will always move to the user's location.]

Judging from the effect, it should be similar to a guaranteed draw, where you draw the card you want from the deck.

However, it seems that it can also be used for any lottery or lottery where you gamble on luck.

Suzuki Toru immediately thought of the wishing machine, but was then given a supplementary explanation: the so-called target must have its name and effect fully known.

If you don't know exactly what your goal is, the effect won't activate; even vague descriptions won't pass the effect's judgment.

Suzuki Toru was a little depressed, but he quickly cheered up. When he arrived at the classroom the next day, the atmosphere in the class seemed a little awkward.

"I heard that Ichinose used to be a criminal and stole things from convenience stores."

"Hey, I heard she robbed a bank?"

"You're kidding, right? Ichinose-san is so cute! Cute girls wouldn't do something like that!"

"Maybe she stole the pendant you lost before."

“I know, I know. Her ambition used to be to steal all the gold in Japan.”

"..."

Upon hearing these discussions, Suzuki Toru instantly understood something and immediately looked at Sakayanagi Arisu.

The silver-haired girl sat quietly in her seat as usual, her cane placed beside her hand, her eyes fixed on Suzuki Toru, and their gazes met.

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, while Suzuki Toru took a deep breath. Although he had considered this possibility, he did not expect that she could actually do it.

"Suzuki," Masumi Kamuro called him quietly from the side, "Do you know about Ichinose?"

"I just found out." Suzuki Toru opened his phone and saw similar discussions on student forums and group chats. It was very popular, and even older students were following the gossip.

No wonder she asked me to pay more attention to Class B before; now I understand.

“Although it’s a rumor, the only thing we can do at this point is to clear up the misunderstanding.” Kamuro Masumi thought for a moment. “However, it might be quite troubling for Ichinose.”

Even though she had never interacted with Ichinose Honami before, given her personality, it was really hard for her to believe such rumors.

If Ichinose Honami comes forward to clarify, it will probably be over soon.

Suzuki Tetsu carefully read everyone's comments. Whenever someone went off-topic, someone would step in to guide the conversation and bring the topic back on track.

However, since the school forum only allows anonymity and does not allow alternate accounts, one can only see many anonymous accounts stirring up trouble, and it is obvious to anyone with eyes to see that something is wrong.

However, he knew very well that most people were particularly keen on the so-called digging for the truth. On the surface, they were pure and lovely angels, but in private, they were a completely different person. Nothing intensified emotions more than this contrast.

In the idol industry, without timely public relations efforts, it would definitely attract criticism.

After thinking for a while, Suzuki Tetsu admitted that he was hypocritical. When he did some bad things, he felt at ease doing them because he could control the scale.

But if someone else did it, he doubted whether that person would be capable of cleaning up the mess.

More importantly, what exactly does Sakayanagi Arisu want to do to Ichinose Honami?

During lunch break, Suzuki Toru went straight to Sakayanagi Arisu and successfully intercepted her as she left the classroom and passed the stairs.

“Just as you thought, it was indeed me. As for the reason, I don’t think you care much about it.” Sakayanagi Arisu spoke first, interrupting Suzuki Toru’s rhythm.

"You actually obey Nagumo's orders?" Suzuki Toru frowned.

"Hehehe, isn't this misunderstanding a bit too deep?" Sakayanagi Arisu said somewhat angrily, "Do you think that just because Nagumo-kun has something on her, he won't do anything to her next?"

“I know, but she hasn’t overcome her psychological trauma.” Suzuki Tetsu suppressed his emotions, having considered Ichinose Honami’s thoughts. What she feared most was not the theft itself, but the stares of those around her.

If she had resisted stealing, she wouldn't have been so quick to help her sister.
