I just want your reward.

"Good afternoon, Hasebe-san." Suzuki Toru was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it. Judging from the direction Hasebe Haruka just passed by, she should have gone to the bathroom and happened to see him here.

"Although it's a bit unexpected, it's not particularly difficult to understand why Xiaoche is reviewing in the library. But why is Sakura here?" Hasebe Haruka seemed to notice Sakura Airi at the first moment, with an inexplicable light in her eyes.

"I, I am... Please, please, please help me, Suzuki-kun..." Sakura Airi's face flushed and she stuttered, unable to utter complete sentences. Having her classmates find out that she was with a boy must have been a shock wave that swept through her brain. It was lucky that she didn't crash on the spot.

"Eh~" Hasebe Haruka looked at Suzuki Toru and Sakura Airi blatantly without saying anything, but this ambiguous look could not be ignored.

"I saw Sakura-san was reviewing by herself, so I asked her if she wanted to study with me." Suzuki Toru would not let the topic always fall on himself, "Is Hasebe-san attending the class study session now?"

Of course, one can study in the library alone, but Hasebe Haruka was heading towards Class D's study session, so it was not difficult to see why she was in the library today.

"Horikita and her classmates take the final exam very seriously. They plan to ask all students with lower grades to participate in study sessions. I was also dragged there by them." Hasebe Haruka played with her hair with her fingers, looking a little uninterested. "But, to be honest, with my grades, I might really have a chance of dropping out."

The rule for dropping out was that if the score in any subject was below 60 points, both she and her exam partner would be dropped out. Unfortunately for her, neither she nor her partner could guarantee to get more than 60 points in every subject.

Suzuki Toru thought for a while, then said, "Do you want to study with us?"

Hasebe Haruka was stunned for a moment, and she looked at the two girls next to Suzuki Toru with a strange expression.

"Well... I'm not worried about Tohru's grades. After all, you're a student in Class A, and you can still guide others. But I'm a student in Class D. Is that okay?"

"If there's a problem, I wouldn't invite Sakura, who is also from Class D."

"That's true, but, Xiaotetsu, you don't think you're the hero of the light novel, do you?"

"?"

"Look at the people next to you. There's one on your right and one on your left. If I sit opposite you, doesn't it look weird?"

"So that's how it is, but I can't let you sit in my arms either, it would be even weirder."

"?"

Hasebe Haruka looked at Suzuki Toru dimly, and he quickly announced his surrender.

"Well, I thought you liked me to cooperate with you in telling such a joke."

"This is not a joke at all, this is harassment." Hasebe Haruka crossed her arms across her chest, raised her head slightly, and seemed to be looking at him with contempt.

Just when Suzuki Tetsu thought there was no hope, he suddenly heard her ask, "Teach me one more person...Will this really not cause you any trouble?"

"I can't just be polite to you, can I?" Suzuki Toru said calmly.

Hasebe Haruka smiled and said, "Kato's attitude is really tough. I have no choice but to agree to your request with reluctance."

Although he said this, his body honestly walked back to the D class study session, and it seemed that he was planning to come here with his own schoolbag.

At this time, Sakura Airi quietly pulled Suzuki Toru's sleeve.

"Sorry, did I make you feel unhappy?" Toru Suzuki thought she was having another social phobia attack.

"No, no..." Sakura Airi quickly shook her head. She looked at Suzuki Toru's face in confusion, "Why...why would Hasebe call you by your name? And, he called you "Xiao...Xiaoxiaoxiao" in an intimate way...."

As she spoke the last part, her face turned red, and she was not like Hasebe Haruka who could say Suzuki Toru's name naturally.

"Maybe it's how she calls her friends. This is the first time I heard her call me like that." Suzuki Toru also felt something was wrong. He fell into deep thought, "But, since Hasebe-san calls me like that, should I also call her by her name?"

Sakura Airi's breathing hitched.

After a while, Hasebe Haruka finally came back. She looked relieved, probably because she was extremely uncomfortable staying in the study session.

"I thought Horikita would be angry, but she calmed down immediately after I just said your name. What a surprise." Hasebe Haruka sat opposite Suzuki Toru. This position made her frown slightly. "This distance doesn't seem to be suitable. Do you want to go to a cafe next time?"

The tables in the cafe were round and not too far apart, but she was a little uncomfortable with the long tables in the library.

Suzuki Toru glanced at Class D not far away from him. There was a figure that stood out among them. Horikita Suzune was instructing the students of Class D with an expressionless face, and there was no visible change in her expression.

"Is this classmate from Tohru's class?" Hasebe Haruka looked at Yamamura Miki and took the initiative to introduce herself. "Nice to meet you. I'm Hasebe from Class D, Tohru's friend."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Yamamura." Miki Yamamura nodded slightly to her with a somewhat evasive look in her eyes.

"Yamamura-san?" Hasebe Haruka smiled. "She looks cute. Is she Toru's exam partner?"

Miki Yamamura knew that she had met the type of person she was least good at dealing with, and her expression was a little embarrassed.

"She is indeed my partner." Suzuki Toru said, "Can I know about Hasebe-san's situation?"

"Well, I'm good at science, and I know nothing about liberal arts, such as Chinese and world history." Hasebe Haruka quickly took out her textbooks and notes. "It's really troublesome. The school won't return the test papers, so I can only check the answers."

"It's okay, I'll confirm with you later." Suzuki Toru looked at her notes and found that the girl's blackboard writing was indeed very neat.

Hasebe Haruka blinked, feeling a little confused, but she would soon experience the joy of a certain Eastern country.

When you are in doubt, do a set of papers first. No review can compare to the strategy of doing a lot of questions.

Chapter 355: Just a Private Job

When the tutoring session was over, both Hasebe Haruka and Sakura Airi looked dazed, with dull eyes.

Even Yamamura Miki couldn't stand the sea of ​​questions tactic of a certain Eastern superpower.

"Xiao Che, will this really work?" Hasebe Haruka's voice trembled a little. She didn't want to experience it a second time. Her mind was full of various questions.

"I don't know your situation. I can only check it from all aspects. It shouldn't happen again next time." Suzuki Toru is very clear about Japan's education system. If it weren't for the purpose of further studies, these high school students would basically receive a happy education and it would be impossible for them to use the exaggerated tactic of doing a lot of questions.

"That's good." Hasebe Haruka and Sakura Airi both breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's all for today. If you have any questions after you go back, you can send me a message."

"Ok, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow."

After parting ways on the way to the library, Suzuki Toru walked in another direction.

After a while, Miki Yamamura, who was supposed to return to the dormitory, quietly turned back and followed Suzuki Toru.

After following for a while, she realized something was wrong, especially when she found that Suzuki Toru had disappeared.

Just as Miki Yamamura was about to turn around, a big hand suddenly pressed her shoulder. She almost screamed, but soon the voice of Toru Suzuki was heard.

"Yamamura-san, this isn't the best way to get back to the dorm, is it?"

Even without turning around, she could feel the man's presence behind her, not to mention the other person's hand pressing on her shoulder, which was a hundred times more terrifying than a horror story.

Yamamura Miki swallowed her saliva, trying to get away with it, and said carefully: "I think I left something on the road, I want to find it."

"No wonder you came back. I thought you were following me. Do you want me to help you find you?" Suzuki Toru let go of her shoulders. In fact, he didn't notice that Yamamura Miki was following him at all. He just lay an ambush here based on instinct.

As a result, Miki Yamamura really came back.

Hearing him say this, Miki Yamamura felt immediately embarrassed, but then she changed her mind and decided not to resist since she had been caught tracking him on a cruise ship before.

"Sakayanagi-san asked me to follow you."

Suzuki Toru sighed. He was not surprised at all. He had been suspecting whether Sakayanagi Arisu was up to something, so that's why he was paying attention to Yamamura Miki.

"What are you following me for?"

"I don't know. She asked me to report everything about you to her."

"What if I find out?"

"..."

Miki Yamamura was a little dejected. She seemed useless and failed to complete the task assigned by Arisu Sakayanagi.

"Can I ask why you want to follow Sakayanagi-san?" Suzuki Toru felt a little confused. Miki Yamamura's personality didn't seem like that of a student who would actively participate in class affairs.

If Kamuro Masumi hadn't been caught by Sakayanagi Arisu, she probably wouldn't have gotten involved.

Of course, for Arisu Sakayanagi, whether it is Masumi Kamuro or Miki Yamamura, they are just particularly useful chess pieces that can make up for their own shortcomings in certain aspects.

"Do you... have to say it?" Miki Yamamura's voice became very low, and she seemed to feel uneasy.

"No, if you don't want to, forget it." Suzuki Toru didn't particularly want to know the answer, but he could guess a little from her reaction.

"I'm sorry, Suzuki-kun is a nice person." Yamamura Miki whispered, "In fact, I always hoped that you could become more friendly with Sakayanagi-san and Katsuragi-san."

"Is it the infighting in the class that's making you uneasy?"

"I feel like if this continues, the atmosphere in the class will get even weirder, and things that no one wants to see will happen."

"Yamamura-san really cares about the class."

"Please, please don't tease me."

Suzuki Toru smiled. It seemed that the atmosphere in the class made Yamamura Miki feel a strong sense of crisis. After all, she was following Sakayanagi Arisu and her perception was stronger than other students.

Not only that, she probably followed Sakayanagi Arisu because Sakayanagi Arisu showed some abilities that made her feel at ease.

"Don't worry, the next semester will be over." Suzuki Toru paused, "By then, I might ask you to do something small. I hope you don't mind."

Miki Yamamura was stunned. Could it be that she was asked to stab Arisu Sakayanagi in the back?

……

Meanwhile, in the school cafe.

Looking at Katsuragi Kōhei opposite him, Mizowaki Mizuto frowned slightly. Although he knew that the other party was on his side, he was an outsider after all, and had a suspicious identity.

Because of Nanyun Masa, he and Tonokawa Sosuke have always been wary of Katsuragi Kōhei and Suzuki Toru. After spending a few months together, he thought that they had no flaws.

Has Kōhei Katsuragi finally lost his patience today?

"Misowaki-senpai, actually I asked you out today because our first graders have a special exam soon." Katsuragi Kohei said with a hesitant look, "I wonder if I can ask you for help?"

"Special exam? Sorry, we second-year students are also preparing for exams, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find time." Mizowaki Mizuto took a sip of coffee. He added a lot of sugar, so it tasted quite sweet. "Besides, you should ask Nanyun-kun about this matter, right?"

He didn't refuse right away, but the meaning was almost the same.

"Senior, you should still remember the special exam for first graders, right?"

“I think it was Paper Shuffle?”

"Yes, our class teacher said that we can ask senior students for help for this special exam. It's too complicated for just a few of us to make the test paper, so I thought of asking the seniors for help."

Mizowaki Mizuto suddenly found it somewhat funny. After all, they were in Class A of the first grade, and yet they had to ask him for help?

"Even if I agree to your request, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with my own strength."

Hearing this, Katsuragi Kohei immediately said: "It's okay, I'm not asking you to help make all the questions, but to help us solve some of them."

"Part of the question?" Mizowaki Mizuto showed a puzzled expression at the right time, intending to report it to Nanyun Miya when he returned.

Katsuragi Kōhei was in a dilemma and hesitated, "The situation in our class is a little complicated. Seniors probably don't know that the students with high academic ability in our class are all Sakayanagi's people. I can't handle it alone."

Mizowaki Mizuto recalled the fight between Katsuragi Kōhei and Sakayanagi Arisu. Although there was a grade between them, he was not clear about the specific situation of Class A in the first year, but he occasionally heard some rumors.

What's more, Nanyun Masaru intentionally favors Sakayanagi Arisu, which makes Mizowaki Mizuto somewhat concerned.

"You want to produce the test paper faster than them?" Mizowaki Mizuto quickly thought of this and was secretly surprised. Has the infighting in Class A of the first year reached this point?

"Yes, this way, I can show my ability to be stronger than Sakayanagi in the class." Katsuragi Kohei said, "Moreover, I can use Sakayanagi's test paper and deliberately pass it out, so that students from other classes will mistake it for our A-class test paper."

Mizowaki Mizuto squinted his eyes. Not to mention the previous part, he deliberately misled his opponent, which would indeed cause a blow to his opponent.

"I see. However, I would like to seek Nanyun-kun's opinion."

Katsuragi Kohei fell silent. This guy was indeed as difficult to deal with as Suzuki Toru said. He had already revealed so many flaws, but the other party still refused to be fooled easily.

In this case, I can only use my final trick.

"Mizowaki-senpai, I heard that you are dating a third-year senior."

In an instant, Mizowaki Mizuto's expression froze, and he looked at Katsuragi Kōhei coldly.

"what do you want to say?"

"Even if you are a student in Class A, you will need money to date a senior, right?" Katsuragi Kohei met his gaze. "What's more, she is about to graduate. With no prospect of promotion to Class A, you can only support her financially, right?"

Mizowaki Mizuto said calmly: "Thank you for your concern, but I can afford to support my girlfriend."

"I seem to have heard that the school will cash out the personal points of students when they graduate." Katsuragi Kohei paused, "Senior, don't you plan to help your girlfriend?"

It was Mizowaki Mizuto's turn to be silent. He didn't know this at first, but after Nanyun Ya's gold coins exploded, he realized that he had to save some personal points.

Otherwise, his girlfriend might not even have enough money to rent a house in Tokyo.

Having always been with Nanyun Masa, Mizowaki Mizuto knows better than most students the consequences of failing in Gaoyu. Why does Gaoyu advertise its 100% admission and employment rate to the outside world?

Because losers don't count.
