Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

Suzuki Toru looked at Sakayanagi Arisu in front of him. The midterm exams were approaching, and half of the semester had quietly passed. What was the other person thinking?

If she doesn't have any ideas, Suzuki Toru can only take the initiative to harass her.

However, let's wait patiently for now.

He pondered the days to come, while time slowly slipped by.

After school in the afternoon, Horikita Manabu told him that Class C had withdrawn its accusation against Amakura Asako, saying that it was a misunderstanding at the time, and that the two sides had now resolved the misunderstanding through communication.

Furthermore, Class B demanded a crackdown on the school's anonymous forum, insisting that no one be allowed to defame a student without cause.

With the student council's clarification, the school's public opinion quickly turned around, and the previous sarcasm disappeared.

However, no matter how harmonious things may seem on the surface, for the people involved, it may be a psychological shadow that they can never forget for the rest of their lives.

Perhaps to show off, or to express his satisfaction with Suzuki Toru, Ryuen Sho sent him a few messages.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you could actually get Ichinose to come to you. I'm curious what you said to her."

"To tell the truth."

"Hmph, Suzuki, I already found out. Class B doesn't have five million in cash at all, and they didn't borrow money from anyone. How strange."

"I can't possibly lend them money."

"Why are you in such a hurry to distance yourself? But whatever, even if you don't say it, I can still hear the truth from you. What a boring trick."

For some reason, Long Yuanxiang seemed to have lost interest in him, and simply left with a few words.

"Just wait in Class A, Suzuki. Cherish the little time you have left."

Suzuki Tetsu put away his phone. No matter how arrogant Ryuen Sho was, he couldn't threaten Class A now.

……

Around six o'clock in the morning, the dormitory doorbell rang several times as usual.

When Suzuki Toru opened the door, he saw Horikita Suzune standing there again, holding a bento box.

"The seventeenth one."

The girl's voice was somewhat cold. The two had been secretly interacting for two weeks. She would deliver lunch boxes in the morning and come back to collect them in the evening.

Over time, Horikita Suzune managed to repay nearly a thousand points by making bento boxes.

However, even if all of them are added up, she has not yet repaid even 10,000 personal points of debt.

With about four months left until the second semester, Horikita Suzune will have to repay at least 100,000 personal points every month.

An ordinary person might have given up the struggle, but there was still a stubbornness in her eyes, an unwillingness to admit defeat.

"How's the list from last time coming along?" Suzuki Tetsuya wasn't in a hurry to take the bento box from her hand. He only needed two or three more wishes to complete a ten-pull.

Horikita Suzune's expression stiffened, but on the surface she remained calm and composed.

"Let's talk about this disgusting topic in a few days. I still need to tutor a few idiots."

Just by looking at her expression, Suzuki Toru knew without guessing what she was thinking. She had probably come into contact with a completely new world and finally understood what the contents of the list meant, which were even more perverted and despicable than she had imagined.

The fact that the girl didn't run away immediately shows how strong she is.

"So, what you're saying is that you'd rather tutor a few idiots than pay off our debts?" Suzuki Tetsu said quietly.

Horikita Suzune stared in disbelief, then said irritably, "If it weren't for you, why would I be tutoring those idiots every day?"

She got even angrier when this was brought up.

I originally thought that it was fine if Sudo Ken and the others were a bit slow and had no foundation, but I didn't expect that the more troublesome guy would be their homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae!

Yesterday, their homeroom teacher informed them that the school had changed the exam scope, rendering the previous exam focus essentially obsolete!

Keep in mind that there are only three or four days left until the midterm exams.

What's even more outrageous is that other classes received the notification half a month earlier than them!

Horikita Suzune almost flipped the table, but luckily she was good at controlling her temper and managed to suppress her anger.

Instead of complaining all the time, you should work overtime and try to memorize all the key points for the exam in the last few days!

"Bento box, hurry up and take it!"

Horikita Suzune forcefully shoved the lunchbox into his hand, knowing she needed to get to the classroom early to help Sudo Ken and the others prepare for today's lessons, and didn't want to waste her breath arguing with him.

However, she thought Suzuki Tetsu would say something as usual, but instead he was staring at her back for no apparent reason.

Horikita Suzune was puzzled, and then looked back and saw a girl standing in the corridor not far away, who seemed to be holding a bento box in her hand.

The unwavering stare from the opposite side sent a chill down Horikita Suzune's spine.

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Real Girlfriend

The girl opposite him was Ichinose Honami, his real girlfriend.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune stood gracefully at the door of his dormitory, and he was holding her bento box in his hand. They looked like childhood sweethearts or a couple in the throes of new love.

If this scene were to appear in front of one's girlfriend, most people would probably break out in a cold sweat immediately.

In reality, Horikita Suzune was even more flustered.

Although she knew that she and Suzuki Tetsu had no relationship whatsoever and that their relationship was completely innocent, it was too shameful for her to personally deliver a bento box to a man.

I had planned to leave early so no one would see me, but who knew a complete stranger would show up here today.

Horikita Suzune felt things were getting complicated and that she had to give the other party a serious warning, just thinking that the other party might tell others about it.

"First, this is not what you think. I have absolutely no improper relationship with this man." Horikita Suzune's expression was cold. "Second, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, or I will hold you accountable."

Suzuki Toru, who was standing to the side, fell silent. Putting aside the fact that the previous statement seemed a bit like protesting too much, what responsibility were you going to pursue against him? Was it an infringement of his personal privacy rights?

“That’s no problem, but there’s something I’m concerned about.” Honami Ichinose smiled slightly, “Since there’s no improper relationship, what exactly is the relationship between the two of you?”

"It's none of your business," Horikita Suzune said indifferently.

"Haha, Horikita-san is indeed as aloof as rumored." Ichinose Honami seemed to show no dissatisfaction, her smile unchanged, though her gaze occasionally fell on Suzuki Toru.

Seeing this, Suzuki Toru greeted her casually, "Good morning, Ichinose-san."

"Good morning, Tetsu-kun." Honami Ichinose walked up to the two of them. "I bought a lot of ingredients yesterday and got up early to prepare a bento. Since I didn't know what your taste was, I only made tonkatsu, rice balls, and tempura..."

At this point, her gaze finally fell on the bento box in Suzuki Toru's hand, her expression changed, and then she smiled again, feigning ease.

"I think I'm late today. I'll have to get up earlier next time."

Ichinose-san, what's with your teasy tone?

"Who are you? Why do you know me?" Horikita Suzune frowned, sensing a strange atmosphere.

"Nice to meet you. I am Ichinose from Class 1-B." Honami Ichinose introduced herself. "At the moment, I am just a regular classmate with Tetsu-kun, and like you, we have no improper relationship."

Horikita Suzune was a little confused. It seemed that the girl in front of her was coming for her.

"Stop messing around, she's not like you." Suzuki Toru reached out and took the bento from Ichinose Honami's hand, then switched Horikita Suzune's bento with Ichinose Honami's.

Seeing his action, both Honami Ichinose and Suzune Horikita were stunned.

After a while, Ichinose Honami said quietly, "Is he really just an ordinary classmate?"

"She had no money, so she made her own bento boxes and then sold them to me," Suzuki Toru bluntly revealed.

"Suzuki!" Horikita Suzune blushed. Even though what he said was true, why did she feel so embarrassed?

Honami Ichinose blinked. She had originally thought that Suzune Horikita was also a girl who was about to suffer at the hands of Toru Suzuki, so she wanted to push her out and even called her by a very intimate name.

Looking at it now, it seems different from what I expected?

However, Suzuki Tetsu shattered her illusion in the next second.

"Looks like I won't be short of bento boxes from now on, Suzune. What should we do now?"

Honami Ichinose's expression stiffened. She called Toru Suzuki "Toru-kun," and Toru Suzuki called her "Ichinose-kun." Then he turned to another girl and called her "Suzune."

Who exactly is your real girlfriend?

"Mind your own business!" Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth. "What's the relationship between you two?"

It's unlikely that someone would make a lunchbox for a guy for no reason, unless they're a couple, and even if they're not a couple, they're probably a couple in the future.

"My answer is the same as Ichinose's answer just now."

Suzuki Tetsu cleverly avoided a direct response, but this left both girls quite dissatisfied.

"Cunning fellow." Horikita Suzune snorted, but she had never been interested in Suzuki Tetsu's personal life, so it was none of her business even if he was promiscuous.

She then left on her own.

For some reason, the girl walked faster than usual, as if she were fleeing in panic.

Suzuki Tetsu remained calm, knowing that when they met again, the girl might truly have to serve him with a face full of shame.

"It seems like you're never short of pretty girls around you," Honami Ichinose suddenly said.

Is this a tacit admission that she is also beautiful?

"You're even more lecherous than Senior Nagumo."

"He has a childhood sweetheart, I don't, I'm not as good as him."

"Are you talking about Asahina-senpai?" Ichinose Honami thought for a moment, "Nagamo-senpai has been bothering her a lot lately for some reason, which is making Asahina-senpai very annoyed."

"No wonder I haven't seen Nagumo-senpai much lately." Suzuki Toru sighed. Did the other person finally understand the joy of childhood friends?

Honami Ichinose hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping herself. The actual situation was even stranger, and even she suspected it was a rumor.

"Why did you decide to make me a bento today?" Suzuki Toru asked abruptly.

"It's normal to prepare a bento for your boyfriend, right?" Honami Ichinose lowered her head. "I've never been in a relationship. Last night I searched a lot of things online, and some people said that if a boyfriend can eat his girlfriend's bento, he will feel very happy."

Suzuki Toru looked at her calmly. If he put a heart-shaped fried egg in his lunchbox, the whole class would probably know he had a girlfriend.

Sometimes, a girl's little thoughts seem to come naturally without being taught.

"Did I cause you any trouble?" Ichinose Honami looked up at him. Horikita Suzune had obviously arrived earlier than him, so their relationship must be more than just ordinary.
