Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Majima Tomoya said calmly, "It won't be too difficult. You'll find out next month."

He subtly acknowledged and responded to Katsuragi Kohei's question earlier, but then changed his tone, clearly indicating to the surveillance system that he hadn't said anything.

This homeroom teacher is quite interesting. Suzuki Toru, who had been quietly observing, added another note to his notebook.

……

The day's classes passed quickly, but everyone tacitly stayed in the classroom and didn't rush to leave.

"To prevent unforeseen circumstances from arising in the future, I think it's necessary to retain half of our personal points each month," Katsuragi Kohei calmly suggested.

The situation in the class is very unfavorable for him now. Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly made a move and took the limelight.

Previously, many people didn't care about class leaders and just did their own thing. It was normal for them to be dissatisfied with each other because everyone's grades and experience were similar, so why should they listen to you?

Katsuragi Kohei's circle... no, now it should be called his faction, consists of no more than a dozen students at most.

At this point, many people realized that the class needed a capable leader.

As the best of the best, they naturally need the best leader.

In just half a day, Sakayanagi Arisu had gathered a considerable number of people around him, no less than Katsuragi Kohei, and some of them had even defected from his faction.

Two factions have emerged in Class A. One is the Katsuragi faction, which Katsuragi Kohei has been cultivating for a week and has some degree of trust in him.

The other is the Sakayanagi faction of the Supernova, whose core member is Sakayanagi Arisu, while Hashimoto Masayoshi and Kito Hayato have somehow joined her side.

The other students either remained hesitant or looked indifferent.

"Hehe, Katsuragi-kun, who do you think should keep these personal points?" Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly. The essence of this pointed question was who should be in charge of the class.

"Of course it's our Katsuragi-nii!" Totsuka Yahiko was the first to charge into battle.

"What a joke! Our personal points should be managed by Sakayanagi-san!" Loyal followers have begun to emerge in the Sakayanagi faction.

"She's so small, she's probably only a middle school student. Katsuragi-nii used to be the student council president, so he's definitely more experienced than her!"

"Hey, who are you calling a middle school student? Middle school students are clearly the best!"

She'd probably kill me if I said something like that, right?

It seems even the students in Class A are not immune to this; when they start arguing, they sound like middle-aged women at a market.

Neither side can convince the other, and if things continue to develop in this way, they'll probably just go their own way.

"Suzuki-kun, you can't run away now, you know?" Sakayanagi Arisu called out to someone with a smile.

Having already reached the classroom door, Suzuki Tetsuya had no choice but to turn around and meet her gaze.

Who do you think should be responsible for keeping personal points?

They somehow managed to get the ball to him, but he's not a referee.

Chapter 19: Morishita Ai Raises a Question

In fact, Katsuragi Kohei also noticed Suzuki Toru's actions. Judging from the level of attention Sakayanagi Arisu paid, the other party's abilities must be quite good.

Moreover, their performance just now was not bad, and they are worth trying to win over.

However, he hesitated because Suzuki Toru seemed to have some connection with Sakayanagi Arisu.

Getting back to the main point, pooling all the class's individual points is a perfectly reasonable decision, even without the transaction we just made.

Neither the two factions nor the students who intended to remain neutral or observe had any objections.

Because the school clearly intends to use individual points as a universal tool for the school.

The question is, who should receive the individual points?

Suzuki Toru remained calm. For Sakayanagi Arisu, this question was mostly about who he favored more.

In most cases, when a girl asks this kind of question, she undoubtedly wants you to choose her.

Is this middle school student hoping someone will praise her?

These thoughts flashed through Suzuki Toru's mind in an instant, and then he finally spoke up: "If it's just about keeping personal points safe, anyone can do it."

He avoided the question of usage rights, and Sakayanagi Arisu narrowed her eyes slightly, but still smiled on the surface.

“It’s different, isn’t it? This kind of thing should definitely be entrusted to the most trustworthy person,” Totsuka Yahiko exclaimed.

"Do you suspect there might be a traitor in the class?" Suzuki Toru asked, disappointed. "I didn't expect Totsuka-kun to be so distrustful of everyone. I originally thought we were all friends and could trust each other. It seems I didn't think things through carefully enough."

Totsuka Yahiko's face stiffened; these words had put him in the spotlight.

Some people started looking at Totsuka Yahiko with resentment. If he couldn't even trust his classmates, how was he going to get through the next three years?

“No, Yahiko didn’t mean that. He just wanted to talk about how to choose a suitable candidate, since these personal points are no small amount.” Katsuragi Kohei stepped in for his subordinate. “Suzuki, do you have any recommendations?”

“Such a small matter doesn’t require too much thought, Suzuki-kun,” Sakayanagi Arisu urged as well.

At this moment, with the attention of the two leaders, everyone was also staring intently at Toru Suzuki.

Suzuki Toru did not look at Katsuragi Kohei, nor at Sakayanagi Arisu, but instead focused his gaze on another direction in the classroom.

"I think Morishita would be a good fit."

As soon as he finished speaking, many students showed expressions of astonishment, and even Katsuragi Kohei and Sakayanagi Arisu were taken aback.

"Will Toru Suzuki choose me?"

In front of him, a girl tilted her head slightly, seemingly a little confused. A few strands of hair slipped from her shoulders to her chest with her movements. They weren't particularly full, but they weren't to be underestimated.

This girl's name is Morishita Ai.

Since the start of the semester, Suzuki Tetsu has been observing her, because this seemingly unremarkable girl also has some wishes popping up from time to time.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

[Do whatever you want while she's asleep], [Sleep, sleep, sleep, all she knows is sleep, she needs to be taught a lesson], [Lick Morishita Ran's jade feet raw], [Being stepped on by her jade feet, then showing a hopeless look], [Going on a date with Morishita Ran], [Wanting to taste what this impudent little mouth tastes like]...

"Hehe, this is somewhat unexpected. Suzuki-kun, could you tell me why?" Sakayanagi Arisu was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite interested.

"Hey, you didn't just pick randomly, did you?" Totsuka Yahiko looked at Suzuki Toru and Morishita Ai suspiciously.

Even Katsuragi Kohei couldn't help but frown.

The reason is simple: Morishita Ai's personality is a bit strange.

“Yes, I’d like to know too, otherwise it will bother me a lot, Suzuki Toru.” Morishita Ai, who was sitting in her seat, turned to look at everyone. Under her skirt, there were conspicuous black pantyhose, with a delicate sheen and looking like they felt very good.

Seemingly noticing Suzuki Toru's gaze, she subconsciously brought her legs together, her face still showing little expression, her demeanor aloof, as if nothing would attract her special attention.

In other words, she is a girl who lacks motivation.

Of course, that's all there is to it; the problem is with her wording.

Normal Japanese people don't call someone by their full name, but she kept calling him Suzuki Toru, which really caught people's attention.

“It doesn’t matter who you choose, your personal points won’t just disappear on their own.” Suzuki Tetsu paused. “If you’re not satisfied, you can change it. This time it’s Morishita, next time it’ll be Shimizu, and the whole class will take turns.”

No, the meanings are completely different.

Suzuki Toru avoided the Katsuragi and Sakayanagi factions and chose a neutral and innocent Morishita Ai instead.

Both leaders were well aware of this.

"Hehe, that would be too much trouble. How about letting Morishita-kun keep it safe?" Sakayanagi Arisu said with a smile, revealing that he didn't want the class to split up.

“I have no objection either. We can discuss it together when we want to use it.” Katsuragi Kohei nodded.

Morishita Ran blinked. How did she suddenly get chosen by someone?

"In that case, starting next month, everyone will have to hand over half of their personal points."

No one objected; the two factions combined made up two-thirds of the class.

Thus, Class A made its first collective decision.

Having finally settled all these messy matters, Suzuki Toru quickly left the classroom.

However, trouble always seems to follow one after another.

"Please wait a moment, Suzuki-kun, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Upon hearing Sakayanagi Arisu's voice, Suzuki Toru turned around and, sure enough, there were quite a few people following him.

Kito Hayabusa, Hashimoto Masayoshi and Kamuro Masumi.

Wait, how come Kamuro Masumi is here?

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that look you're giving me?!" Kamuro Masumi keenly sensed his thoughts and immediately glared at him.

You're the one with the problem, aren't you? You said you had your own plans before, but you immediately became Sakayanagi Arisu's subordinate.

Although that's what I was thinking, I had to keep a calm facade.

"It is an honor to see Sakayanagi-san unleash his full potential for the first time. I believe that Katsuragi-san will inevitably be eliminated within a semester. I think that under your leadership, everyone in Class A will have a bright future and no one will drop out."

Since the other side had a large number of people, Suzuki Toru couldn't help but try to lighten the mood a bit to avoid saying the wrong thing and offending someone.

Especially the Ghost Falcon, this guy looks cold and scary, with a ferocious appearance and gloves on his hands, giving the impression that he would kill someone at the slightest provocation.

Suzuki Tetsu noticed that his gait and posture were different from ordinary people, suggesting that he had learned some martial arts and must be very good at fighting.

Strangely, both Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi reacted very strangely upon hearing his words.

"Hahaha, just as the princess said, you are quite an interesting person." Hashimoto Masayoshi seemed unable to help but laugh out loud.

No, I've just heard that appropriately showing a different image can attract the other person's attention and make them more interested in you.

Chapter Twenty: The Agreement

"Today should be our formal meeting. My name is Hashimoto Masayoshi. I hope we can get along well in the future, Suzuki."

Hashimoto Masayoshi introduced himself in a very serious manner. Although he looked like a frivolous handsome guy and his tone was quite easygoing, I didn't feel too much of aversion to him.

On the other side, Toru Suzuki heard an even simpler self-introduction.

"Ghost-headed Falcon."

The other person's gaze was fixed on him, but there was no outward reaction.
