"what happened?"

"Since we're going to make a group announcement, why don't you let me do it? I can sign my name and Hikaru's name at the end to show that this is a joint decision."

"Of course you can, but don't do surprise attacks."

Hashima Hikaru's expression was a little embarrassed. Although he and the girl had a very close relationship, she was, after all, a beautiful girl with excellent looks and figure. Sometimes she would always arouse his uncontrollable thoughts, so the boy had always been very restrained.

But just now her little hand directly touched Hashima Hikaru's thigh. Who can resist this?

After taking a step back, Mitsuru Hashima handed his phone to the other party, with a hint of nervousness still on his face.

"Hey, hey, I know."

After taking in the boy's expression, Ichinose Honami stuck out her tongue.

This is a "little trick" she learned from Ando Sayo. Although the other party claims to be a master of love, she has never been in love. She has just read a lot of romance novels.

In Ichinose Honami's small group of girls in Class A, everyone knows that she likes Hashima Hikaru, and their relationship is obviously just about to go through the motions, so everyone tells her to take the initiative.

After all, he is a boy and he always likes some physical contact. Although Hashima Hikaru has always been restrained, as long as she teases him frequently, maybe the boy will confirm his feelings faster.

Anyway, after the pink-haired girl learned that Hashima Hikaru had never been in a relationship, she had already made up her mind to be with him. If successful, they would share each other's first time, no matter what it was.

"Then you send it, I'll watch from the side." Hashima Hikaru calmed his tone.

"Uh-huh."

Ichinose Honami nodded, lowered her head, opened the boy's mobile group chat and started typing. She knew Hashima Hikaru's mobile phone password, and the other party knew the same thing.

In the class group of Class A.

Hashima Hikaru: Regarding this special exam, Ichinose-san and I have an important announcement to make to everyone, so please pay attention.

Ichinose then compiled the boy's thoughts into a detailed announcement and sent it to the group, signing their names at the end to convey the importance of the announcement.

"Okay, you're done."

"Well, let's wait for eight o'clock tomorrow." Hashima Hikaru looked at his watch and said softly to the girl, "Then let's meet in the restaurant on the first floor before eight o'clock tomorrow morning and use the breakfast time to discuss."

"I understand. I'll come early."

Ichinose Honami had a soft smile, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and her little face was glowing with an intoxicating glow.

"Then let's disband. I'll take Fanbo back to his room."

"Uh-huh."

---

By the next morning, Mitsuru Hashima had already woken up, and so had his three Class A roommates.

"There are still a few minutes until eight o'clock. Let's wait for the text message to arrive." Shibata had finished washing up and was staring at his mobile phone.

"That's right. I wonder who will be the favored one in our class?"

"If it's Hashima-san, then wouldn't that be the perfect choice?" Beppu Ryota had a teasing smile on his face.

"In short, after the text message arrives, please don't speak loudly to prevent being overheard."

Hikaru Hashima gave an order and then also started staring at his phone screen.

When eight o'clock arrived, everyone's cell phone rang with the sound of receiving text messages.

The boy opened his phone and saw that the content of the message was quite concise and clear.

After careful selection, you were not chosen for preferential treatment. Please take this exam as a member of the group. The exam will begin at 1:00 PM today and will last for three days. Students in the Dragon Group, please gather in the room with the word "dragon" written on it on the second floor for discussion.

"no..."

Hashima Hikaru sighed. If he was a favored person, he might be able to collect more information, but since he was not, he could only rely on others.

He looked up at the other three people in the room, and they all shook their heads.

"Then I'll be out first. Remember to keep an eye on the group chat. I'll be discussing our class's combat methods with Ichinose-san."

"Yeah, we understand."

Hikaru Hashima walked out of the room and came to the place where he had agreed to meet with Ichinose Honami yesterday, but what surprised him was that the girl had already arrived.

I glanced at the time and it was two minutes past eight.

Could it be that she had been here before eight o'clock?

"Good morning, Guang."

There was no one else around now, so the girl's address was quite natural.

"Well, good morning."

Hashima Hikaru pulled out a chair and sat down, and the discussion on the class plan began immediately!

Chapter 182: Unity is the key to success

Feeling the sea breeze blowing in their faces, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami chose their breakfast and started chatting while eating.

"Only the favored ones?"

"Unfortunately, I'm not." The boy showed the other party his text messages.

"Me neither. It seems I still need to collect information about other people in the class." Ichinose Honami glanced at the other person's phone screen, then handed him her own phone.

"Although neither of us is a preferential treatment recipient, on the bright side, we don't need to have any reservations when taking action."

"Indeed, after all, people with hidden agendas will always behave unnaturally. If their mental toughness isn't strong enough, they might leak information."

Ichinose Honami took a sip of juice with a faint smile on her pretty face.

"So how should we formulate our strategy for this exam?" she asked the boy what he thought.

"I think the focus should still be on guessing the patterns of the preferential treatment." After finishing the last bit of food on the plate, Hikaru Hashima wiped his mouth.

"Anyway, since the school has made it clear that this exam requires everyone to use their brains, perhaps guessing the selection patterns of the favored ones is the best solution."

"Should we let the favored students in the class tell Hikaru the information?" Ichinose Honami opened the group chat and prepared to start sending messages.

"Yes, it is possible, but I think there is another thing that needs to be emphasized."

Hikaru Hashima placed the phone in front of him and said calmly, "Although the rules prohibit using violence or coercion to check other people's phones, eavesdropping should be allowed."

"Just like the last uninhabited island exam, although the rules are very detailed, there are always some loopholes left for everyone to think about how to come up with unexpected strategies."

"What Hikaru means is... is there someone who is trying to gain information by eavesdropping on other students' conversations?" Ichinose Honami's expression gradually became serious.

"That possibility isn't ruled out, and don't forget, Hanami, the use of recording devices isn't listed as prohibited either," Hikaru Hashima said, smiling as he touched the underside of the table where they were sitting. "For example, if someone taped a recorder under this table, wouldn't our conversation be completely exposed?"

"Indeed... Since this is an intelligence war, I'm sure many students will take action in this regard." Ichinose Honami quickly understood what the boy meant.

"So I think there's another thing that needs to be emphasized to the rest of the class, and that's about how the discussion should proceed."

Hashima Hikaru pointed to his phone and explained solemnly, "Regardless of whether you are a privileged recipient or not, you can use your phone for private conversations, in addition to the twice-daily group discussions."

"I understand. Anyway, other people are prohibited from snatching or secretly using my phone. If I keep all the communication processes on my phone, it will reduce the risk of information leakage."

There was a hint of excitement in the pink-haired girl's beautiful eyes, and she thought this method was quite good.

"Not only that, just in case, you can also delete the chat history after the communication is over, even if you accidentally lose your phone or expose the phone screen, it can better ensure safety."

Hashima Hikaru opened the chat page with Ichinose Honami on her mobile phone. It was very easy to delete the chat history, and it only took a few steps.

"Then let's say this to everyone first, and then have the selected favored members of our class chat privately with Guang to gather this information first."

"can."

The young man nodded slightly, then after a moment's silence, he added, "Because everyone can only answer within their own group, once we discover the school's pattern in selecting all the favored students, we'll need to carefully consider how the three favored students in our class should handle the exam."

"Well, I'm afraid we'll need to discuss the specific implementation plan at that time." Ichinose Honami showed a very serious expression.

“Communication is possible, but it still has to be done on mobile phones.”

Hashima Hikaru looked at the girl's face and chuckled, "Does Honami think I'm not conspicuous enough?"

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ichinose Honami fell silent.

Indeed, whether it was the hidden rules sold at the beginning of the school year or the various things that happened later, basically all the first-year students knew that although the current class leader of Class A was Ichinose Honami, Hashima Hikaru was the real decision maker.

If you take the initiative to meet with several other beneficiaries, there is a high possibility that someone will peek at you or follow you.

"I understand. Then let's communicate with them through mobile phones." Ichinose Honami opened the class group page and prepared to type.

She glanced at Hikaru Hashima, and after seeing the boy nod, she began to input the preliminary plan they had just discussed.

First: In order to prevent information leakage, except for the time of group discussion, everyone should try to communicate by mobile phone, and decide the time of deletion based on the importance of the topic. It is best not to leave any gaps.

Second: Students who received the message that they have been selected as the preferential treatment please take the initiative to privately message Hashima-san. Just in case, do not tell anyone other than Hashima-san, even if it is someone in our class.

Third: Students who are selected for preferential treatment can take the initiative to communicate with Mr. Hashima when they encounter problems. Of course, the main method of communication is still through mobile phones, and private meetings should be avoided to avoid information leakage.

About five seconds after Ichinose Honami sent these three messages to the class group, Hashima Hikaru's phone rang.

It happened to be private chat messages between three people, which not only included their specific grouping situation, but also screenshots of text messages of those who were selected for preferential treatment.

According to the rules of this exam, in order to make the preferential examination mechanism more fair, the school will not accept changes in preferential status regardless of whether or not the person has been selected as a preferential candidate. This is different from the uninhabited island exam.

In addition, it is forbidden to copy, forward or modify the email information about the preferential treatment recipients, so apart from seeing it with your own eyes, you can only take screenshots to convey the specific situation.

"Has everyone sent it yet?" Ichinose Honami asked, looking at the boy whose expression suddenly grew serious. "Information about the favored recipients."

"Sent it."

After memorizing the names and group messages on his phone, Hikaru Hashima looked up at the pink-haired girl opposite him.

"Ichinose-san, do you want to know?"

"No, as we just said, this result should only be known to Hashima-san. This is the key to ensuring that our operation plan can proceed smoothly."

"Well, then I will delete this record directly." Without hesitation, Mitsuru Hashima sent a reply message to the three of them, and then quickly deleted the three private messages.

"So, is Hikaru going to start thinking about the rules now? Otherwise, let's disband now." Ichinose Honami asked tentatively. After deciding to hand over the decision-making power of this exam to the other party, the girl positioned herself as an assistant to Hashima Hikaru.

"Don't worry. Let's think about it after the discussion at 1:00 PM this afternoon. The main focus is gathering intelligence from other classes."

Mitsuru Hashima glanced at the list of Dragon Group members on his mobile phone notepad. These people were no small characters, so it would probably be a tough battle.

"Well, I'll also be observing the others while we're discussing this."

Ichinose Honami belongs to the Rabbit Group. The girl has just told the specific list to Hashima Hikaru. Not only that, in order to think about the rules by which the school selects preferential treatment, the other students in Class A also uploaded the member lists of their own groups to the group chat.

Only after summarizing this information can we better think about the rules.

"Yes, there are many interesting students in Fanbo's group." Hashima Hikaru glanced at the roster of the Rabbit Group.

In addition to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who caught his attention last time, there is also Yamashita Saki who went undercover in Class A during the uninhabited island exam. I heard that classmate Manabe Shiho was also undercover and entered the camp of Class C at the time.

And there is Ibuki Mio. The fact that she appeared on the uninhabited island with Ryuen Sho means that they might be competing for the right to speak in the class. This special exam must be a very important opportunity. According to the girl's unyielding nature, she will definitely not sit idly by this time.

"I think so, too."

Ichinose Honami stared at the list of members she had written down. She knew what Hashima Hikaru meant. In order to help the class win, the pink-haired girl thought she had to collect more information.

"Then let's pretend nothing happened for the time being and wait for the first group discussion."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the clear sky in the distance, his thoughts churning in his mind.

Logically speaking, after the information about the favored students was announced, each class would probably be thinking about how to prepare for the exam, but the boy believed that the other classes definitely did not have as comprehensive information as he did.

After all, judging from the intelligence gathered previously, the remaining three classes were not completely united. Even if they wanted to reach a consensus, it would definitely require a period of adjustment. But Class A was different. After a semester of building a united atmosphere, everyone hardly had any unnecessary thoughts.

The fact that the boy's phone received the text message immediately after Ichinose Honami sent the notification to the class group was proof of this.

The favored students have an indescribable advantage in this exam, and if they perform well, they can even take the reward for themselves. However, the students in Class A all understand the core goal of this exam, and winning together with everyone in the class is everyone's goal.

"Yeah, let's do it together, Guang."

A smile appeared on the girl's lips. If they could win this exam, Class A would earn a large amount of personal points.

Combined with the class scores obtained from the uninhabited island exam, Class A will definitely gain an unparalleled advantage when the second semester begins.

What an exciting future.

Chapter 183: The Dragon Group’s First Discussion

When it was noon, after having lunch with Ichinose Honami, Hashima Hikaru looked at the time on his watch. The first group discussion was about to begin, and he had to use this opportunity to gather information.
