I just want your reward.

However, the way Suzuki Toru praised her was so natural and sounded so comfortable that Sakura Airi blushed and didn't want to refute him.

"You can't improve your running speed in a short period of time. You're not in good physical condition. You should practice your breathing rhythm." Suzuki Toru said, and then asked, "Also, I heard from the boy just now that you still don't have any teammates for the team competition?"

"Yes, but it seems that there is no..." Sakura Airi was a little embarrassed, "I was the one left behind by them, and Inogashira-san who was in the team with me was also the one left behind, and then both of us didn't know how to practice."

"What about riding a horse to fight?"

"I have teammates for this...it's just that they haven't asked me to practice with them yet."

"So you can only practice individual projects now?"

Sakura Airi hummed softly, her hands nervously grasping the hem of her clothes, as if she had done something wrong. She lowered her head slightly, waiting to be scolded without moving.

However, Suzuki Toru had no intention of scolding anyone. Having lived for so many years, he was very clear about different people's personalities and even their world views, which were extremely difficult to change.

You can't ask an introverted and timid guy to do something bold. If that were possible, there wouldn't be such creatures as otakus in this world.

"Sakura-san, do you want to make friends?" Suzuki Toru suddenly asked.

"Hey, teach you how to make friends?!" Sakura Airi was obviously surprised and almost bit her tongue.

"That's right, I always feel that there will be a lot of people who can make friends with Sakura." Suzuki Toru remembered that he knew a lot of guys who also had no friends.

Sakura Airi was a little tempted, but quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's impossible for someone like me to be friends with me."

"I always thought that Sakura and I were friends." Suzuki Toru was surprised.

Sakura Airi's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "I, that's not what I meant! I meant... it's impossible for me to have friends other than Suzuki-kun... No, no one except Suzuki-kun would want to be my friend!"

She was so anxious that Suzuki Toru stopped teasing her and smiled: "I don't know what kind of person Sakura was in the past, but high school is a wonderful time. If you are always the only one enjoying your youth, isn't it a bit too much?"

Sakura Airi was stunned for a moment.

"Occasionally you should share a little happiness with others, like me now, or the friends you will meet in the future." Suzuki Toru said softly, "I don't think there will be anyone who doesn't like you after getting to know you."

For some reason, her face was getting hot, and it was getting hotter and hotter, as if it was about to burn. However, she did not feel the slightest bit disgusted. Instead, she felt a little at a loss. She felt a hot current running through her body, and her whole body was slightly itchy, making Sakura Airi suddenly restless. Just looking at him made her heart tremble.

What was even stranger was that her body seemed to have become lighter and her chest was feeling hot. No matter how she tried to hide it, Sakura Airi felt that her face must be very red, and she couldn't even look away.

Whenever she saw Toru Suzuki standing in front of her, whenever she saw Toru Suzuki's face, her heart felt like it was about to jump out, and Sakura Airi held her breath.

"Why, why do you say that?" she said in a low voice.

"What?" Suzuki Toru didn't hear clearly for a moment.

"I mean..." Sakura Airi mustered up the courage, but when she saw his expression, she changed her mind and said, "Why do you want to help me make friends, Suzuki-kun?"

"Because this is my personal little selfish wish, can Sakura-san meet my request?" Suzuki Toru smiled, "I want to introduce a few people to you."

Sakura Airi puffed up her cheeks subconsciously. She knew that this was not the truth from Suzuki Toru, but this was just the right amount of tenderness. It was the first time that someone cared about her. She couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, like a little bear who had picked up honey in spring and couldn't help wanting to eat more.

"Is he Suzuki-kun's friend?"

She was a little looking forward to it, yet also a little concerned. Was it a girl?

"I can't tell you now. Wait until Sakura practices hard and participates in the competition." Suzuki Toru paused, "Consider this as a favor from me."

What? I can’t be happy at all, Sakura Airi was dissatisfied and sullen.

Chapter 282 Unpredictable

Her angry little movements were somewhat cute. Suzuki Toru subconsciously poked her face, and her originally puffed-up cheeks suddenly deflated like a deflated balloon.

At the same time, Sakura Airi slowly widened her eyes and a blush crept up her face.

"Seeing Sakura-san like this, I feel more relieved. There must be someone willing to be friends with you." Suzuki Toru was very relieved, as if the person who had just poked his face was not him.

Sakura Airi originally wanted to deny this statement, but she thought that she had already said a lot of discouraging words, and if she continued, Suzuki Toru might dislike her.

After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Thank you."

"Don't say thank you, we are friends." Suzuki Toru shook his head, "If you continue like this, I will feel guilty. Until now, I don't know who is harassing you."

Sakura Airi quickly said: "That's not the case, Suzuki-kun has always been helping me well!"

Suzuki Toru just smiled and said, "If there is anything that makes you unhappy, you must tell me. No matter what it is, I will help Sakura-san."

"Ok!"

Sakura Airi was a little happy, but then she felt a little panic. She was such a bad person, but she always had to trouble Suzuki Toru. She felt really sorry for him.

Perhaps, I really should make up my mind.

Thinking of the pervert who had harassed her, the courage that had just surged up in Sakura Airi's heart immediately vanished. She really didn't have the courage to face the box of weapons.

It's so abominable. I never thought that there would be a day when she would be defrauded even though she had been trying hard to disguise herself.

"By the way, do you want to continue practicing?"

“It takes practice.”

"Okay, I have to go back to practice too."

After he said that, Sakura Airi felt quite lonely but she didn't dare show any unhappiness on the surface. She could only smile at him and say goodbye quietly.

In the girl's eyes, there were always a lot of people around Suzuki Toru, and it was obvious that their status was higher than hers. It was impossible for them to be with her all the time, and she couldn't be so shameless as to get close to them.

Sakura Airi continued to practice gloomily, but after a while, her teammate Inogashira Shin came back and wanted to practice three-legged kick with her.

Not only that, the two teammates who were good at fighting on horseback also came to her and agreed to practice hard in tomorrow's physical education class and simulate a battle with other groups.

The sudden situation left Sakura Airi confused for a while. Although she didn’t know what was going on, it seemed that she was no longer alone?

So, in the next half month, Sakura Airi was no longer alone.

……

By the time Toru Suzuki had dealt with Sakura Airi's situation, today's practice would be almost over.

Since she had asked Kikyo Kushida for help, she smiled and stretched out a finger to Suzuki Toru, which meant that the owner owed the puppy a request.

Suzuki Toru's face was full of black lines, but he still pinched his nose and agreed to her. After all, as a master, he had to be more generous sometimes.

The intensive practice of the two classes was over. While everyone was packing up, Suzuki Toru left the indoor gymnasium. On the way back to the dormitory, he took out his cell phone.

"Today we have been asking Class A and Class D about the situation, trying to get close to the students, and then sending people to observe the situation when they are practicing."

This is news from Kiriyama Ikuha.

Looking back at the chat history, he sent a message to Suzuki Toru yesterday, which was the prompt sound that Horikita Suzune heard at that time.

"Does Nagumo know?"

"It's not clear yet, but he will know sooner or later."

Suzuki Toru thought for a while, and both Katsuragi Kōhei and Kiriyama Ikuha told him a piece of news that was not too bad.

Nan Yunya did not personally arrange the entry list for each class, but let them perform on their own.

In response to this, Katsuragi Kōhei understood that Nanyun Masa wanted to emphasize his own strength and openly shatter the recent rumors against him and the undercurrents in the underground.

This idea was correct, but Suzuki Toru was wondering what Nanyun Masa would do next.

The fact that the other party would take such measures shows that they do not think there will be any challengers in the second grade, or students who can threaten them.

Because of this, Nan Yunya did not have a particularly strong reaction.

For him, the goal at this time should be to fight against Horikita Manabu and satisfy his own desires.

However, Suzuki Toru felt that it was obviously unlikely that Nanyun Masa would let him go.

Apart from Horikita Manabu, Nanyun Masaru should prioritize attacking himself.

Therefore, Nanyun Masa treated him coldly in the second year, and maybe he is now secretly focusing on Suzuki Toru or Horikita Manabu.

Let's not talk about Horikita Manabu. If I were Nanyun Miyabi, how would I deal with Class A of the first year at the sports festival?

Because they would not let their own class suffer losses. For example, it is obviously impossible for Suzuki Toru to kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of his own, and it is even more impossible for Nanyun Masa to cross grades.

The simplest way, of course, is to kill with a borrowed knife.

In the first grade, which knife is sharper?

Suzuki Toru first ruled out Class D. Of the remaining two classes, Class B was too honest, so it could only be Class C.

Long Yuanxiang can't be considered a big sword, but it is probably a small knife hidden under the wrist, short, small, fast and sharp, it can catch the enemy off guard and defeat them in one move.

Especially with the addition of an entry form, the effect will be even better.

"Once he knows, tell me immediately."

Soon, the message received a reply.

"Okay, but will this alert the enemy?"

Obviously, Kiriyama Ikuha has many concerns. The power of these rebels is too small, and they are completely unable to defeat Nanyun Masaru. Now they can be said to be helping Suzuki Toru with gritted teeth.

"It's okay. I must let Nagumo know."

Suzuki Toru's idea was simple. Instead of letting Nanyun Masa act secretly, it would be better to let him come to his own arena and compete against each other in his familiar home court.

Moreover, he was very interested in Nan Yunya's control.

How long will it take for this news to reach Nanyun Miya's ears?

"Do you really have to let him know?"

Kiriyama Ikuha found it a little difficult to understand, but for the sake of Horikita Manabu and Suzuki Toru's previous performance, he decided to suppress his doubts.

"Can your people keep a close eye on Nagumo?"

"It should be possible... I can't give you any guarantees. He is the one who usually keeps a close eye on us."

"Where's Kiryuin-san?"

"She won't participate."

"In that case, you can send someone to keep an eye on his subordinates, such as Tonogawa and Mizowaki. They may not be very vigilant."

"I will do as you say."

Suzuki Toru put his phone away and just in time saw the sun setting. The fiery red color was burning in the clouds, creating a gorgeous and warm scene.

Strange, I don’t seem to see Arisu Sakayanagi, could he have gone to Class C?

He hesitated for a moment and did not use the positioning function. He felt that the sickly little girl should be able to see what he was doing.

Chapter 283 Mutual Speculations

Nan Yunya learned the news on the afternoon of the third day. Someone was secretly inquiring about Class A's intelligence.

The reason why it is obscure is that the other party took advantage of the break time to find a few students who were alone, pretended to ask them how to practice, and then kept asking questions.

Perhaps because they had been at peace for too long, the students in Class A gradually relaxed. When facing students of the same grade, they were completely unprepared and told each other everything.

Upon hearing the news, Nan Yunya was both surprised and happy. She was surprised that these insects had become so lazy that they did not report to her immediately.

The good news was that he soon realized that this was a conspiracy against him. Although there were students in the second grade who were dissatisfied with him, no one dared to openly raise the banner of rebellion.

Especially when he heard the name of Kiriyama Ikuha, Nan Yun Ya sneered. This guy didn't have such courage. At best, he was just a mouse whose courage was broken by him.

There is no doubt that there must be someone supporting Kiriyama Ikuha, who can muster up the courage.

Nan Yun Masa immediately thought of Horikita Manabu. He knew that Kiriyama Ikuha had always maintained a secret friendship with Horikita Manabu, and that Horikita Manabu also had high hopes for Kiriyama Ikuha.

But, it's impossible.

Horikita Manabu has not accepted his challenge in the past year and will not suddenly attack at this time.

Besides, Horikita Manabu still has half a year left and will step down next month. This is a compromise result of the secret struggle between the two.

Nanyun Masa didn't believe that it would be Horikita Manabu who did it, so it had to be another candidate.

"What is Suzuki doing?"

Nanyun Masa suddenly asked, and Tonokawa Sosuke, who was standing aside, immediately responded: "Mizowaki is still keeping an eye on the first years. Class A and Class D are training together, and there is nothing wrong with Suzuki."

Because the training was done in the gymnasium, the cooperation between the two classes naturally attracted attention, which was inevitable.

However, even if someone peeks in, before the order of the competition is clear, they can only observe which students are stronger and which are weaker.

"Hehe, I just contacted Ryuen, and he intervened in our second year through Kiriyama. It seems that he and I have the same idea."
