Classroom of the Elite, I Only Want Your Rewards

"I can still walk back to the dormitory, so it should be fine." Asahina Nazuna noticed his gaze and curled her toes slightly, though she didn't scold him; after all, this was his way of showing concern.

"Ankle sprains usually leave bruises. It's best to go to the infirmary; the school doctor can massage it for a while, and if it's serious, a few days of bandaging will do." Suzuki Toru paused. "Senior, you can try moving the injured area slowly. If you can move it, it means you only suffered soft tissue damage."

Asahina Nazuna was stunned. This boy seemed to know a lot about treating sprains.

"It seems I can still move it." She frowned slightly and glanced at Suzuki Toru subconsciously, as if expecting his advice.

"It looks like a minor injury. It should improve in about a day."

Suzuki Toru nodded and continued along the path back to the dormitory.

Asahina Nazuna was taken aback. According to the normal flow of things, shouldn't he chat for a bit longer and kindly help her out?

"Um, may I ask your name?" the girl's voice came from behind. "Also, how did you know I was a senior?"

She really cared about these things. Suzuki Toru stopped naturally and turned to look at Asahina Nazuna.

"Although this is our first meeting, I've heard your name before. I'm Suzuki Toru from the first year, and I just joined the Student Council recently."

Mentioning the Student Council, Asahina Nazuna looked enlightened. He must have heard about her from Nagumo Miyabi.

"So you're a colleague of Miyabi's... sorry, that sounds a bit strange. But it's nice to meet you, I'm Asahina Nazuna. Please take care of me."

As a senior, since he had introduced himself, Asahina Nazuna naturally had to be polite in return.

"Hello, Senior." Suzuki Toru smiled at her slightly and continued toward the dormitory.

Asahina Nazuna widened her eyes. This guy was just actively chatting with her, and now he was turning around and leaving? Wasn't that a bit too rude?

Seeing him really walking further and further away, Asahina Nazuna finally couldn't help but call out to him.

"Hey, hey, Suzuki-kun, are you really going to just leave a cute senior here like this?"

Suzuki Toru looked at her with a confused expression and said, "Senior, didn't you say you could walk back to the dormitory yourself?"

Asahina Nazuna's pretty face flushed slightly. She didn't know why she had called out to Suzuki Toru either; perhaps she had subconsciously wanted to seek help, and Suzuki Toru just happened to know how to treat sprains.

Looking at her conflicted expression, Suzuki Toru knew it was enough. Playing hard to get had its limits, or the other party might just run away.

"If you don't mind, Senior, I can take a look for you." Suzuki Toru approached her as if nothing had happened.

If it were at the beginning, Asahina Nazuna would definitely have been full of vigilance, but after the previous back-and-forth, her resistance had lessened significantly.

Moreover, Suzuki Toru didn't actually give her much room to react.

Asahina Nazuna watched him walk up to her, squat down, and then gently grasp her foot. She subconsciously wanted to pull it back but forced herself to endure it.

Although a girl's foot isn't exactly a private part, being held and examined closely still made her feel a faint sense of shyness and sensitivity, especially since she wasn't close to Suzuki Toru at all.

Even Nagumo Miyabi had never held her foot like this. Now, she felt a strange sensation rippling in her heart, her face burning, and she suddenly regretted calling out to Suzuki Toru.

"Tell me if it hurts." It wasn't the first time Suzuki Toru had held a girl's foot; he used to help idols massage their thighs and rub their feet often, so his technique was very practiced.

Because it was the furthest point from the heart, the skin felt cool yet smooth and supple. It wasn't cracked or rough like a man's skin. The fair, delicate little foot was right in front of him. There was no sweet fragrance, nor any peculiar odor—it was just clean.

Just as he held her foot, a wish was immediately completed.

However, if he stuck his tongue out and licked it now, he could probably complete a second wish, right?

Should he tell her that human saliva actually has healing properties?

This thought flashed through Suzuki Toru's mind, but he still had his reason and wouldn't act so rashly. Building a relationship slowly and steadily was the best way.

The sprain was at the ankle. Suzuki Toru's movements were very gentle, but they still caused Asahina Nazuna to let out a muffled groan.

"It's not very serious. I'll massage it to help the circulation. Remember to use a cold compress when you get back, and don't walk around unnecessarily."

Looking at his serious expression, Asahina Nazuna's initial embarrassment began to dissipate, and she couldn't help but develop some good feelings for this underclassman.

The Advanced Nurturing High School uniform was different from most high schools; the skirt didn't cover the knees, so there was no need to roll it up. Her thighs were usually exposed, not to mention that she was sitting on a chair with her lower leg raised.

Therefore, as long as Suzuki Toru looked up slightly, he could see a certain view.

Asahina Nazuna didn't have the habit of wearing leggings, so she couldn't help but be mindful of this. However, seeing that Suzuki Toru had no such intentions, she found him rather interesting.

"Suzuki-kun is quite handsome. If it weren't for what happened just now, you'd have a high score with this senior, you know?"

Perhaps because she considered herself the senior, Asahina Nazuna couldn't help but tease this underclassman.

"Will I get a reward for a high score?"

"You're really proactive, aren't you? How about I reward you with a strawberry sundae, Senior?"

Suzuki Toru pressed down expressionlessly, causing the senior to let out a few whimpers. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her body trembled.

Chapter 58: Mmm-ha... I'm with my underclassman, wuu...

The delicate little foot seemed unable to withstand the pressure. The smooth, warm jade foot, the soft pink sole, and the round, cute toes glowed with a soft luster. Held in his hand, it felt so silky and delicate that he felt like even a little force would hurt her.

No, it was already hurting her.

"Mmm-wuu... it hurts a little... wait, wait a second, let me catch my breath!" Asahina Nazuna panted slightly, a flush appearing on her pretty face, and her full chest rose and fell with her breathing.

"This is the critical part, Senior, bear with it a little." Suzuki Toru was just checking if her bones were dislocated; he didn't feel like he was taking advantage of her under the guise of helping.

"I, I can't bear it... it's both painful and itchy, wuu... let me rest for a moment..." Asahina Nazuna had thought she was a strong woman who wouldn't change her expression even if Mount Tai collapsed before her, but she hadn't expected to let out such embarrassing sounds in front of him.

Seeing this, Suzuki Toru had no choice but to distract her.

"Is it true that you're dating Nagumo-senpai?"

"No, no. Even though I have a good relationship with Miyabi, we haven't evolved to the level of dating yet."

Asahina Nazuna bit her lip. The man's warmth was seeping through her ankle, and with his movements, it kept traveling up her entire body—warm, ticklish, and accompanied by a sharp sting. These mixed sensations seemed to be scratching at her heart, and she found this stimulation completely unbearable.

A girl's feet are naturally full of sensitive points. Touching them herself was one thing, but being handled by a man, especially with that lingering pain, meant her body was destined to firmly remember the sensations he was bestowing upon her.

"In other words, you don't have a boyfriend yet?" Although this wasn't the first time he had touched a girl's beautiful feet, Suzuki Toru still felt a lingering reluctance, especially since he could hear her gasping for breath whenever he moved slightly.

"Not for the time being." Asahina Nazuna smiled, then panted for a moment. "I did consider that guy Miyabi, but his personality still needs some correcting, so no, no!"

Ever since she was a child, they had attended the same schools from elementary through middle school. Even after moving, she had unexpectedly reunited with Nagumo Miyabi here, which Asahina Nazuna found incredible.

Perhaps there was some fated connection in the dark, making her wonder if he was her destined soulmate.

Thinking of this, Asahina Nazuna subconsciously touched the amulet on her wrist. She had bought it after enrolling, and it was said to bring magical luck to its owner.

"Speaking of which, Suzuki-kun is so handsome, do you have a girlfriend?" Asahina Nazuna poked his forehead with her finger. She had just happened to run into him when she twisted her ankle, and she couldn't help but marvel at how wonderful fate could be.

"I prefer older women; I'm not interested in the girls around me." Suzuki Toru replied.

"Can I take that as you teasing your senpai? Unh... ouch, ouch, ouch..." Asahina Nazuna wanted to poke him again, but she didn't expect him to rub her foot, making her whole body nearly jump.

By the time she held back her tears, Suzuki Toru had already let go of her foot.

"It shouldn't be anything serious. Do you want me to help you back to the dormitory?"

Asahina Nazuna moved her foot, feeling a dull ache, and couldn't help but frown. "How long until it heals?"

"If it heals on its own, maybe a day or two." Suzuki Toru knew she was worried. "However, it's best to go to the infirmary. The doctor will likely have spray and medicine for swelling and pain."

Asahina Nazuna stared straight at him, then revealed a brilliant smile. "The underclassmen of this year are truly kind. If it weren't for what just happened, I would have rated you very highly, senpai."

So, this senpai also had a bit of a vengeful streak?

"I also rate you very highly, senpai—provided that I wash my hands first." Suzuki Toru's tone was indifferent, but a hint of disgust could be seen in his eyes.

Asahina Nazuna froze for a moment before realizing what he was saying. Her pretty face flushed red, and she glared at him with an unfriendly expression.

"Careful, or I'll kill you, you know?"

She would rather Suzuki Toru hadn't smelled that legendary sweet scent than hear him say her feet had an odor.

"It won't be too late to stomp me to death once your foot is healed." Suzuki Toru reached out a hand to her, clearly intending to help her up.

"Heh, you just wait. I might even kick you a couple of times." Asahina Nazuna had been keeping a straight face, but as she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh. "Geez, you should at least wait for me to put on my socks and shoes. You need to be patient with girls, Suzuki-kun."

Suzuki Toru watched as she bent over. Her movements while putting on her socks were slightly stiff, and a flash of pain crossed her eyes. Her toes, crystal-clear like jade, disappeared into the socks, followed by her small leather shoes, hiding her feet from view.

Once she finished, Suzuki Toru said softly, "Actually, you didn't have to put them on. They'll probably just bandage it up at the infirmary anyway."

Asahina Nazuna's expression stiffened; she was genuinely annoyed with this guy now.

"My rating of you has just hit an all-time low. Please, just hurry up and reach out your hand."

Suzuki Toru followed her instructions and extended his hand toward her.

Following that, Asahina Nazuna took a deep breath, grabbed his wrist, and used his strength to stand up.

"Take me to the infirmary, and give me your contact information," Asahina Nazuna said viciously. "Otherwise, I'm going to post you all over the school forum."

Hearing this, Suzuki Toru instantly imagined several types of posts, and even he couldn't help but change his expression.

"I wouldn't dare disobey, senpai."

Because the combination of him and Asahina Nazuna was somewhat eye-catching, they drew curious gazes from students along the way.

Once they reached the infirmary, Suzuki Toru informed the school doctor about the sprain, and the doctor had Asahina Nazuna sit on the bed to prepare for treatment.

At this moment, Asahina Nazuna suddenly said with a hint of apology, "Although it's a bit late to say this, I'm sorry for causing you trouble today."

Suzuki Toru shook his head. "I'm the one who should be thanking you for your warm hospitality."

Asahina Nazuna blinked. Why couldn't she understand what this underclassman was saying?

It wasn't until she noticed Suzuki Toru watching the doctor treat her foot injury that she realized something, and she was left somewhat dumbfounded.

Was this guy actually a perverted foot fetishist?

No, if Suzuki Toru were a foot fetishist trying to take advantage of her, he shouldn't have turned around to leave earlier.

This sentence... he must be teasing her, right?

As she thought about it, Asahina Nazuna felt both strange and amused.

Still, this underclassman was a little bit interesting. She should mention him to Miyabi later.

Asahina Nazuna didn't yet know that her childhood friend had just lost to Suzuki Toru and Horikita Manabu today, and that the two sides had effectively become enemies.

In other words, Suzuki Toru had already touched the home base of Nagumo Miyabi.
