Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

"abnormal!"

……

Mizowaki Mizuto was a little annoyed. He hadn't originally intended to help Katsuragi Kohei and the others; he only agreed to help because of the personal points.

Unexpectedly, Nan Yunya almost suspected him of being a traitor. Now the atmosphere in the class is getting more and more tense because no one knows who the traitor is.

How exactly was the list leaked?

While Kiriyama Ikuha could guess that they would formulate a strategy based on the 2nd Year B class roster, it would be too far-fetched to be right about everything.

Someone must have been secretly tipping them off.

However, only these people have access to the list. Besides Nangumo Masaru, there are only Mizowaki Mizuto and Tonkawa Sousuke. It can't be just the two of them, right?

We can only target those who might normally come into contact with the list, which has caused widespread panic in the class.

Asahina Nagisa was very dissatisfied with this, and Mizuto Mizowaki often heard her arguing with Nagumo Masaru.

Although the two childhood sweethearts would quarrel from time to time, this was the first time he had seen Nan Yunya's attitude so resolute.

Mizuto Mizowaki, lost in thought about all these random things, soon arrived at the library.

Because they needed to help Long Yuanxiang and his classmates with their exam papers, several high-achieving students from Class 2-A would come to the library every day to gather together and think about how to create the questions.

It would be safer and more convenient to stay in the dormitory, but the space is too small, and it would feel very crowded with a group of people inside.

A coffee shop would be too conspicuous and might be seen by others.

As for the student council office, that's even more impossible; Suzuki and the others would definitely see it.

Although the library is also a crowded place, at least the boundaries here are very clear. Senior students do not stay in the same area as junior students. Rather, because of the approaching final exams, each class is also drawing clear lines between themselves.

In addition, with surveillance cameras, if something happens afterward, it can be quickly investigated, making this place the safest place.

However, Nan Yunya rarely comes to the library.

The reason Mizowaki Mizuto came to the library today was not only because his exam paper was finished, but also because the questions they made for Ryuen Sho were basically completed.

Therefore, Nangumo Masaru will come to the library today, and Mizowaki Mizuto can hand over his exam paper for inspection.

If he simply took a perfunctory photo of the question and sent it to Nan Yunya, it would seem as if he had no respect for Nan Yunya, which would be very rude. Mizowa Mizuto didn't want to cause himself any more trouble.

Chapter 373 The Traitor Was Myself

It was afternoon after school, and many students were studying in the library. When Mizowaki Mizuto arrived at his familiar seat, he found that Nagumo Masashi, Tonkawa Sousuke, and the others were not there.

For some reason, only Iijima is here.

"Where are Nagumo-kun and the others?" Mizowaki Mizuto frowned. He had some impression of Iijima; it seemed he had dated a girl in his class for a while before they broke up.

Some say the reason for the breakup was that his girlfriend was often seen getting too close to Nan Yunya.

Although Mizowaki Mizuto knew that Minamigumo Masaru wouldn't go so far as to seduce a married woman, he knew that this matter was definitely related to Minamigumo Masaru. After all, Minamigumo Masaru could choose not to take the initiative, but it didn't mean that she couldn't be passive.

"It seems like there's a fight going on among the first-year students, so Nagumo-kun went over with Tonokawa-kun." Iijima answered honestly, clutching her stomach. "Yamada-kun and the others finished setting the questions, so Nagumo-kun told them to go back and rest early."

Are the first-graders arguing?

Mizowaki Mizuto subconsciously looked around and then spotted Nagumo Masaru and Tonkawa Sōsuke in the distance. There were indeed two groups of students facing each other nearby.

Hmm, it seems to be students from Class B and Class C of the first year?

The reason he was able to recognize them was because Mizowaki Mizuto had some impression of the students next to Ichinose Honami and Ryuen Sho, such as Kanzaki Ryuji, Amakura Asako, and Manabe Shiho.

However, Mizowaki Mizuto didn't seem to care about any of this, guessing that the argument was just for some trivial reason and would likely end soon.

Mizowaki Mizuto sat a little further away, because there were many notebooks on the table, and even though he hadn't opened them, he knew they contained questions prepared for Ryuen Sho.

Although Nagumo Masaru did not label him a traitor, just in case, he still needed to keep his distance to avoid arousing suspicion that he was spying on Suzuki Toru.

Furthermore, Nan Yunya did not invite him to work on the questions, and the implication was quite clear.

Mizuto Mizokawa is very clever; he won't make these little mistakes.

After waiting for a while, Iijima across the street seemed to be feeling unwell. He was fidgeting, clutching his stomach, and had a very unpleasant expression.

From the moment he entered, Mizowaki Mizuto had noticed his unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask, "Iijima-kun, are you feeling unwell?"

"I think I ate something bad." Iijima's voice was weak and listless.

Mizowaki Mizuto hesitated for a moment, glanced at the nearby surveillance cameras, and then said to him, "Why don't you go out for a bit?"

"Uh, this won't do. Nagumo-kun hasn't returned yet, and I still have to stay here." Iijima looked troubled. "If someone sees these questions, I'm afraid..."

Mizuto Mizowa smiled and said, "There are surveillance cameras here. If anyone gets close, it will be obvious. Besides, I'm here, so there's no way anyone could steal the questions."

Iijima hesitated for a moment, then thanked him gratefully and quickly got up to leave.

Mizowaki Mizuto didn't take it seriously. He didn't notice that the library's surveillance cameras weren't flashing red as usual, nor did he notice that Iijima quickly returned to normal after leaving.

Since Nanono Masaru and the others hadn't returned yet, Mizowaki Mizuto simply started playing on his phone, chatting with his senior girlfriend for a while and watching some short videos.

After a while, he suddenly received a message from Katsuragi Kohei.

"Excuse me, Mizowaki-senpai, have you finished the problem?"

Looking at Katsuragi Kohei's question, Mizowaki Mizuto was surprisingly calm. There was only about a week left before the final exams, so it was normal for the other party to ask.

"There's one more thing, it'll be done soon."

"Excuse me, could you please give it to me by next Monday?"

"I will try my best."

Mizowaki Mizuto was a little annoyed that his senior had spoken to him like that, but considering the other party's wolfish ambitions, he could only try to endure it and lie without any guilt.

The questions also need to be checked by Nangumo Masayuki; Katsuragi Kohei must not know about them.

"May I see the questions you asked?"

In an instant, Mizowaki Mizuto realized that the other party had likely guessed his thoughts and was testing him.

Should I reject him?

Nan Yunya told herself to cooperate with him as much as possible, because refusing might alert him.

Try your best to figure out what he's thinking.

"No problem, I'll show you the part I've already completed. If you think it's not right, we can discuss the problem together."

Mizowaki Mizuto always carried his schoolbag, and this time he took out his notebook from it and spread it out in front of him. He planned to take pictures of part of it and then send it to Katsuragi Kohei.

Anyway, the other person isn't here right now, so they can't possibly know that he has already completed all the questions.

Mizowa Mizuto sent the photo to Katsuragi Kohei, and then immediately edited a message.

"I hope this will be helpful to my juniors in this exam."

Kohei Katsuragi should understand what he meant. These questions either appear on the actual exam or can only be used as a smokescreen. If they are different from what he said before, there is obviously a problem.

If it's a smoke bomb, once Class C gets these questions, it's equivalent to Mizuto Mizokawa also knowing immediately.

In this way, at least we know what Katsuragi Kohei is thinking, and that he's not lying.

What I fear most is not knowing what the other party wants to do.

However, Katsuragi Kohei's reply startled Mizuto Mizowaki.

"Are you in the library right now, senpai?"

"Great! I'm here now. How about we meet up later?"

"Should I come find you now?"

Mizowaki Mizuto felt a chill run down his spine. The other person must have noticed the table in the photo. He had been careless and hadn't checked it beforehand.

Damn it, should I refuse?

If Katsuragi Kohei comes looking for him, he'll definitely know he's betrayed the contract. What should we do then?

Without the slightest hesitation, Mizowaki Mizuto began packing his schoolbag. He planned to hide, perhaps by going to the bathroom for a while, and then tell Katsuragi Kohei that he had already gone back.

This photo was taken before I went back, and then I asked Katsuragi Kohei to wait for me at the coffee shop. This should prevent Katsuragi Kohei from finding me with Nagumo Masaru in the library.

As long as Nanon Masaru thinks it's okay, he can immediately take the questions to the coffee shop to meet Katsuragi Kohei.

Killing two birds with one stone, Mizuto Mizokawa breathed a sigh of relief at his reaction.

"Mizowaki, where are you going?"

However, Nan Yunya's phone rang at that moment.

Mizowaki Mizuto's heart skipped a beat, and in the instant he looked up, he saw Nagumo Masashi and Tonkawa Sousuke appear in front of him.

For some reason, Nagumo Masaru's expression was gloomy, and Tonkawa Sosuke's face was equally unpleasant.

"Katsura contacted me. He's at the library too and might come looking for me. I want to avoid him for a while," Mizuto Mizowaki explained, though he himself felt quite guilty.

Even though I haven't done anything wrong, I feel inexplicably uneasy and guilty, as if I've committed a particularly serious mistake.

"Where is Iijima-kun?" Sosuke Tonkawa asked.

“He wasn’t feeling well, so I let him leave first,” Mizuto Mizowaki explained.

"You should know what he's responsible for staying behind, right?" Sosuke Tonkawa continued to ask.

Gouxi Shuidou looked at Nan Yunya, who remained silent.

“Iijima was worried that Nagumo and I would misunderstand, so he sent us a message saying that you took over his position,” Tonkawa Sosuke said coldly. “If it weren’t for Iijima, we wouldn’t know when you would come.”

Mizowaki Mizuto realized his mistake; he should have reported it to Namiunoya immediately.

"I'm sorry, that was my fault..."

Nan Yunya interrupted his apology and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Mizowaki Mizuto paused for a moment, his mind racing. He had just been chatting with Katsuragi Kohei, a fact he had also told Nangumo Masa…

Almost instantly, Mizowaki Mizuto's expression froze, and he whispered, "I sent him the question, but it was only part of the question; I didn't take a picture of it..."

“That’s enough, Mizuto-kun.” Tonokawa Sousuke shook his head, sighed, and explained on behalf of his good friend, “We only saw you taking pictures of the table from across the street.”
