"Wouldn't it be easier to help me get into Class A if I abandon those who are worthless?" Horikita Suzune said, as if it were obvious.
"Indeed, I can't argue with that, but what you want to do is your business." Suzuki Toru smiled slightly. "The reason I sought you out today is not only because the President doesn't want to see you, but also because I'm very curious about you."
"Boring thought." Horikita Suzune's voice was cold, but hearing that sentence, she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.
"I want you to drop out of school," Suzuki Toru said softly.
In an instant, Horikita Suzune's body stiffened.
"I completely don't understand your hostility towards me. Have we met somewhere before?"
She shouldn't have offended Suzuki Toru before, right?
"It's just a boring thought." Suzuki Toru said calmly, "Maybe it's not just you. From now on, anyone I dislike, I'll make them drop out."
As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently glanced towards a certain corner, believing that a certain masterpiece would understand the meaning of that look.
"Wishful thinking!" Horikita Suzune gnashed her teeth.
"Don't be silly, Suzune. In this school, points can buy anything. As long as I can afford the points, it's very simple to make you drop out." Suzuki Toru said coldly, "If I can pay one million personal points for information, I might as well pay twenty million personal points to make you drop out."
Horikita Suzune's mood instantly froze.
"From now on, you can struggle desperately, and finally drown in the trash heap of Class D."
Chapter 31: Ayanokoji Is On Alert.jpg
Having witnessed everything, Kushida Kikyo watched Suzuki Toru's departing figure, then couldn't help but look at Horikita Suzune standing motionless in place.
Although she was very annoyed by Suzuki Toru's words, she inexplicably felt a little happy.
"How much do you know about him, Kushida?" Ayanokoji Kiyotaka asked abruptly from the side.
"Eh, I just met Suzuki-kun not long ago." Kushida Kikyo was a little troubled. "I even asked him to help me get along with Horikita, but I didn't expect him to have such thoughts about Horikita."
There is an accompanying image here, which can be viewed after the updated version.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka fell silent. He didn't think the other party was targeting Horikita Suzune; it was possible he was targeting him.
He remembered that on the day of the club orientation, Suzuki Toru frequently looked at him, and that look was like evaluating the difficulty of a prey.
And just now, while Suzuki Toru was talking to Horikita Suzune, he also subtly glanced over here, he must have discovered that the two of them were peeking.
Instead of immediately calling them out, he deliberately said in front of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka that he wouldn't just make Horikita Suzune drop out alone.
This was a warning.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expression was a bit unpleasant. Could he be someone sent from the White Room?
Heh, does he want to take him back?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. He had no intention of returning immediately after coming out this time.
Even if he had to return, he would return to the White Room with a triumphant stance, completely ending his father's ideas.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was expressionless, but he secretly vowed in his heart that no matter whether Suzuki Toru was from the White Room or not, he would act first to eliminate Suzuki Toru, this potential risk.
Kushida Kikyo didn't know what Ayanokoji Kiyotaka next to her was thinking. She felt her phone vibrate slightly, then took it out to look.
She saw that Suzuki Toru had sent her a message.
"Come to the coffee shop. I want to talk to you about what just happened."
Seeing this message, Kushida Kikyo was stunned for a moment. So Suzuki Toru knew that she and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were secretly watching?
Feeling inexplicably uneasy, she replied to Suzuki Toru with an OK.
"Ayanokoji-kun, don't tell anyone about today's matter." Kushida Kikyo casually reminded Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
If it weren't for the fact that the latter had a good relationship with Horikita Suzune, she wouldn't have followed Horikita Suzune with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded towards her, like a wooden puppet.
...
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Kushida Kikyo found that Suzuki Toru seemed to have been waiting for a while.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Kushida Kikyo sat opposite him, her phone and handbag placed to the side.
"I should be the one apologizing." Suzuki Toru showed her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I lied to you before. Actually, Suzune and I just met for the first time."
"But didn't you know Horikita's brother?" Although Kushida Kikyo showed a surprised expression on her face, she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.
"Yes, but not for long," Suzuki Toru sighed.
"Did you see us just now?" Kushida Kikyo peered at his expression.
"Sorry, I said some very unpleasant things about your Class D." Suzuki Toru apologized again, and at the same time explained the reason, "If I didn't say that, Suzune wouldn't actively integrate with you."
Kushida Kikyo blinked: "Suzuki-kun seems to know Horikita very well, and his address is also very intimate. Is it really your first meeting?"
"The President told me a lot about Suzune, and to be honest, I have a good impression of Suzune, which is why I call her that." Suzuki Toru subconsciously rubbed his nose, which people usually do when they are nervous.
Could it be that he likes Horikita Suzune?
Kushida Kikyo thought she had seen through Suzuki Toru's thoughts, and felt inexplicably annoyed.
"By the way, if Suzune wants to get into Class A, she will definitely need help. You can take this opportunity to likely get along well with her." Suzuki Toru smiled at her. "In a sense, I have also completed your task."
Kushida Kikyo was slightly startled. He deliberately put pressure on Horikita Suzune, forcing Horikita Suzune to actively change her original self, giving her a slight opportunity.
After all, offering help in times of urgent need is more touching, and if she appropriately expresses her support for Horikita Suzune, it is indeed possible to win her over.
Thinking of this, Kushida Kikyo's mood became a little subtle, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
"Even if you don't do this, there must be other ways, right?" Kushida Kikyo said softly, "You said those things to Horikita, she might be full of hostility towards you now."
Suzuki Toru's expression was strange, and he said faintly, "Kushida, I never said I was joking just now."
Kushida Kikyo was stunned, and said in amazement, "Do you really want Horikita to drop out?"
Suzuki Toru glanced at her. The girl's wishes shone brightly, including the fleeting light in her eyes.
Suzuki Toru didn't answer her question, but instead suggested, "Do you want to make a deal?"
"What deal?" Kushida Kikyo asked, puzzled.
"I can sell the information I currently know to Class D, for only 400,000 personal points."
Kushida Kikyo was astonished and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a Class A student? Why would you sell this information to us?"
"Class D poses no threat to Class A, so it doesn't matter if I reveal it to you," Suzuki Toru said. "Moreover, I have a condition: you have to promise me one thing."
"What do you want me to promise you?" Kushida Kikyo asked curiously.
"After Horikita Suzune finishes asking your homeroom teacher, you tell her this news, but don't say it's from me."
It sounded as if he was certain of Horikita Suzune's next actions, which surprised Kushida Kikyo.
"I can promise you, but I can't guarantee whether anyone in the class will buy this information," Kushida Kikyo answered honestly.
"It's fine, I support installment payments. Even if Suzune wants to buy it alone, it doesn't matter, we can draw up a contract." Suzuki Toru smiled. Would the stimulated Horikita Suzune immediately choose this debt?
"Do you want to sign your name?" Kushida Kikyo's heart pounded. This guy was clearly targeting Horikita Suzune, what was his purpose?
"I'll make arrangements."
With that, Suzuki Toru stood up and bowed slightly to her.
"That's all for today. Thank you for being willing to help, Kushida."
He appeared polite, which made Kushida Kikyo force a smile, suppressing her inner emotions.
"No, no problem. See you next time, Suzuki-kun."
Suzuki Toru was about to leave, but then he thought of something and couldn't help but look back at Kushida Kikyo.
"Oh, by the way, next time we chat, you don't need to record. I won't do anything to you."
Kushida Kikyo's expression stiffened. Her phone was still beside her, and Suzuki Toru had already walked out of the coffee shop.
Chapter 32: You're Peeking At Me Again
He originally wanted to contact more Class D students, but Suzuki Toru found that he couldn't do that.
After a period of observation, he noticed that most of the Class D students spent their time on recreation, such as shopping and KaraOK.
It seems this class is a bit useless.
Although the Class A students also had fun, they attended classes when they should. He often saw several competitive Class A students in the Library, and also saw many students discussing whether to join clubs.
Kamuro Masumi had already joined the art club, most likely due to Sakayanagi Arisu's coercion, otherwise, with her personality, art really wouldn't suit her.
It had been over a week since school started, and Suzuki Toru had met many Class 1 students. His notebook was densely filled with almost no blank pages left.
He was somewhat unfamiliar with the situation in Class C. He had noticed a male student in Class C who had injuries on his face during the club orientation.
Recently, he could occasionally see that person clinging to a large black man. Suzuki Toru sighed. It was too peaceful. Class C and Class D were clearly still unaware.
While Class A and Class B were very openly more wary of each other, if both sides hadn't tacitly kept quiet, presumably all Class 1 students would know by now.
Just as Suzuki Toru was thinking, someone gently kicked his back.
"Hey, it's almost your turn to swim." Kamuro Masumi seemed to be looking at him very bored.
At this moment, Kamuro Masumi had changed into a so-called school swimsuit. The sky-blue one-piece swimsuit made the girl's body appear somewhat curvaceous, and although not much skin was exposed, it inexplicably had a suggestive feeling.
"Even if it's my turn, it doesn't matter, I can't swim anyway." Suzuki Toru looked at the swimming pool. In groups of five, Class A was conducting a so-called 50-meter freestyle competition.
Yes, that's right, this was also a course at Advanced Nurturing High School, a part of physical education, swimming.
Moreover, the school did not force every student to participate; students who were not interested or felt unwell could observe and learn.
Although that was said, most students did not skip, except for Sakayanagi Arisu, this delicate and soft middle school student.
He inadvertently glanced at the spectator seats not far away. Sakayanagi Arisu was wearing a proper school uniform, quietly watching everything in front of her.
It was indeed a bit difficult to make her wear a primary school swimsuit. Suzuki Toru felt very heavy-hearted.
"You can't even swim, are you useless?" Kamuro Masumi seemed very surprised by this.
"I originally planned to walk across the pool to the finish line, but what you just said makes me a bit dissatisfied." Suzuki Toru said, "Can you teach me how to swim later?"
Kamuro Masumi thought he would be stubborn, but she didn't expect to hear such a submissive answer, and she couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Aren't there teachers?"
"They look like they can generate a million horsepower with one punch, I don't want them."
"Haven't you ever been to the sea or anything before, you guy?"
He had been, but only to film idols on the beach, and after filming, Higuchi Madoka would scold him for being a pervert. To be honest, that feeling wasn't very pleasant.
"If you have time, help me follow Kushida from Class D," Suzuki Toru suddenly said.
"Ha, you want me to tail a girl for you?" Kamuro Masumi almost kicked him hard a few times. "Has your fetish expanded to the level of a pervert?"
"She's quite interesting, but I can't read her mind. Since I'm not good at dealing with such two-faced people, I wanted to ask you to get some information about her."
Sometimes, wishes can reveal a bit of information, but not too much.
Suzuki Toru could discern Horikita Suzune's personality because she didn't hide what she was thinking. Dealing with such a person was too easy to grasp; she was self-righteous, yet revealed a hint of inferiority in front of Horikita Manabu.
A little guidance, and she would likely follow his line of thought.
Although that was said, to prevent unnecessary trouble, he still had to tell Horikita Manabu afterwards that he had met Horikita Suzune.
"Why are you ordering me with such an obvious tone?" Kamuro Masumi was inexplicably annoyed. Ever since Sakayanagi Arisu had something on her, she was constantly being ordered to do this and that.
Now, to top it off, there was another guy who inexplicably knew her secret.
"Please," Suzuki Toru tactfully corrected her mistake.
Kamuro Masumi glared at him and said stiffly, "Don't even think about it. Why should I help you?"
"I only have you, Kamuro-san."
