People are teaching, my love stock market just wants to be full

After the class was dismissed, Hikaru Hashima strolled in the corridor on the second floor of the cruise ship. He soon saw a room with the word "Dragon" written on the doorplate. According to the rules explained by the teacher, each discussion must last for one hour, so it is not allowed to leave early after the class starts.

Everyone understood the seriousness of this exam, so they would not do anything too extreme. Members of the Dragon Group began to slowly gather around the boy, including people acquainted with Hashima Hikaru.

For example, Hirata Yosuke, Horikita Suzune, and Kushida Kikyo from Class C, Katsuragi from Class B, and Ryuen from Class D. After one o'clock, everyone walked in one after another.

The interior of the room is quite spacious. In addition to a relatively large long table, there is also a large sofa that can accommodate many people sitting together.

After the students from the four classes entered, the first person to speak was the socialite of the first grade, Kikyo Kushida.

"Well, before we start the discussion, let's introduce ourselves. Although everyone has looked at the list, there may still be people we're meeting for the first time. Self-introductions can help us get closer."

"I have no opinion."

Hikaru Hashima, Kanzaki and the others sat directly on the sofa, while the members of Class B led by Katsuragi stood in a corner nearby, apparently keeping alert.

Ryuuen stood in front of the long table with three other boys from Class D. Although he was not yet the class leader, the other boys had seen his abilities during the last deserted island exam, so they had already agreed that Ryuuen would make the decisions for this exam.

"I don't think it's necessary. Instead of introducing myself, it's better to choose a host first."

Katsuragi Kohei glanced at everyone in the room and said calmly, "After all, when discussing something, everyone talking at once can easily make information transmission less efficient."

"Yeah, we're not elementary school students, so there's no need to introduce ourselves. Let's get straight to the point." Ryuen Sho grinned, his eyes locked on Hashima Hikaru who was leaning on the sofa.

"Hey, Hashima, do you want to be the host?" Ryuuen looked at the boy's face.

"why?"

"I also agree that Hashima-san should be the host. After all, you are the ace of Class A. I'm sure everyone here knows your abilities."

Kōhei Katsuragi's idea coincides with Ryuen's. Although the previous cooperation on the uninhabited island went wrong, if they want to defeat Class A, which is ranked ahead, they need to unite everyone who can be united.

"Is Hashima-san willing?" Hirata Yosuke walked over, while Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune glanced at the boy sitting on the sofa, and they didn't say anything.

"If that's the case, I don't mind." Hashima Mitsuru smiled. Being a host might be a bit tiring, but this just fits his inner considerations. After all, he can better observe the members of other classes.

He immediately stood up from the sofa, and after slowly scanning everyone, he said, "Then let's start speaking in order of class."

"To improve efficiency, each time a class speaks, only one person can speak. Students from other classes can talk to that person, but only one person can speak. This is a more efficient way."

"First, let's invite Kanzaki-san from Class A to start. Please share your thoughts."

Hashima Hikaru tilted his head to look at Kanzaki Ryuji. He had chatted with him on the phone in the morning. In order to confuse students from other classes, the boy's plan was to temporarily let everyone show their desire for result one during the discussion. It was just perfunctory anyway.

"Ok."

After Kanzaki Ryuji stood up, he began to talk about the plan he had agreed with Hashima Hikaru.

"Our Class A's battle plan this time is actually very simple. After everyone has read the rules, they should understand that Result 1 and Result 2 are the plans that are beneficial to the class."

"Yes, as long as there is no betrayer, the school will pay the price for both result one and result two." Katsuragi Kohei nodded.

"But in that case, do the favored people in the Dragon Group have to take the initiative to disclose the information? If it's result one." Hirata Yosuke chose Kushida as the spokesperson, while he and Horikita Suzune acted as observers to collect information in the rear.

"Yeah, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to directly announce whether they are a favored person or not. If someone betrays you, the consequences will be very unpleasant." Ryuen Sho looked at Hashima Hikaru: "Hashima, is this the plan you made?"

He would never believe that the man who led Class A would come up with such a simple plan. After all, they won first place in the last round of special exams and there was no way they would be willing to take such a risk.

"I think it's possible as long as everyone can trust each other."

Facing everyone's doubts, Kanzaki Ryuji slowly explained, "For example, if we finally reach answer one, then we can have everyone gather all their phones before the end of the exam, and then have a representative from each class check the text messages on their phones."

"This is done for fairness. We'll wait until 9 o'clock to end the discussion and the answering time begins, then everyone will pick up their phones and answer the questions in turn. This way, we can ensure that the final result is one."

"This is our plan." After saying this, Ryuji Kanzaki sat back on the sofa.

After hearing this plan, everyone in the room began to think about the feasibility of this plan, but soon someone raised doubts. It was Kohei Katsuragi.

"I don't think this plan is safe. Even if we pool the phones, there's no guarantee that everyone will cooperate when it comes time to answer the questions."

This always cautious man offered his own opinion: "I personally think that outcome two is the safest."

"Really? Then what is Katsuragi-san's strategy?" Kushida Kikyo asked from behind.

"It's simple. Our plan is... no discussion!"

The moment the rules were revealed, Kōhei Katsuragi thought this was the safest plan. As long as there was no discussion, then when the exam was over, no one would be able to tell who the favored person was. Regardless of whether they answered incorrectly or gave up answering, the favored person would get the private points in the end.

Although it is only 500,000, this is already a very stable income and there is no need to worry about someone suddenly turning their backs on you.

"It seems Katsuragi-san's idea is for everyone to reach Result 2." Ryuen Sho said this with a hint of mockery in his tone. "Is such a plan really feasible? Aren't you afraid of disappointing those who believe in you, Katsuragi-san?"

"Humph..."

Katsuragi ignored Ryuuen's provocation and shut up after finishing his speech.

"It seems that this is the situation. Then it's Class C's turn next. I wonder what you think?" Hashima Hikaru looked at Kushida Kikyo with a smile.

"Well, this is actually just as simple."

Kushida Kikyo felt the boy's gaze and spoke out her thoughts.

"Our goal is also result one. This is the best solution."

Chapter 184: Kushida: Do you want to know who is favored by the Dragon Group?

When Kushida expressed his thoughts, Ryuen Sho, who was standing next to him, immediately sneered in contempt.

"Really? Are Class A and Class C just a bunch of childish idiots?"

"Then I'd like to ask, now that Kushida-san from Class C has finished speaking, it's only Class D left," Hashima Hikaru looked at Ryuen Sho, "What are your thoughts?"

"Our class's goal has always been simple: to achieve ultimate victory in this exam!"

The long-haired man didn't mind expressing his desire. He glanced at the students from various classes in the room and said loudly, "Instead of letting everyone get the reward, why not choose to keep it all to ourselves?"

"So Ryuen-san's goal is result three. What a bold idea."

Hashima Hikaru glanced at Ryuuen. As the class currently ranked last, if they wanted to move up, this was indeed the only result they could achieve.

But can this guy really unite the entire class, or has he already reached a cooperation with Ibuki?

"Haha, I think you think the same as I do, Hashima." Ryuen Sho didn't even look at Katsuragi Kōhei and Kushida Kikyo next to him. It seemed that there was only one opponent in his eyes.

"Didn't we just discuss our class's strategy? Result 1 is the most appropriate option. If you continue to inquire, the answer will remain the same."

The young man shook his head, then glanced at everyone in the room and asked calmly, "Okay, now that we understand the opinions of each class, do you want to continue with the second round of discussion?"

"We will not participate in the subsequent discussion. Please exclude Class B." Katsuragi Kohei folded his arms and made a very obvious defensive posture. He stood in the corner of the room with the remaining three Class B students, as if he had no intention of continuing the communication.

"Where are the other two classes?" Hikaru Hashima looked at the students in Class C and Class D.

"We want to continue communicating!" Kushida Kikyo exchanged glances with Hirata Yosuke and Horikita Suzune. The current information of the beneficiaries of Class C has not been made public, so their initial idea was to get the result.

"We should also participate in the discussion. After all, offense is the best defense." Ryuen Sho touched his hair. He glanced at Katsuragi Kohei mockingly and continued, "Then it's up to our three classes to have a discussion."

"Okay, then let's start the second round of exchanges with Class A."

Hashima Hikaru signaled Kanzaki Ryuji, who had just spoken, to continue speaking and gave him a look.

As a student currently in the top echelon of Class A, his thinking is still very sharp, so he quickly understood what the boy meant.

The current goal is to fool them. As for the gathering and observation of intelligence, I'll leave it to Hashima-san.

"Then I will continue to emphasize the idea of ​​how to achieve result one."

Kanzaki Ryuji spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, and his subsequent words basically revolved around thinking about how to achieve result one. As for whether there were any loopholes, that was unimportant.

Kikyo Kushida, who was chosen as the spokesperson, also strongly supported this idea, and her tone and attitude were extremely positive.

As for Ryuen Sho at the end, his remarks were basically meaningless perspectives.

Everyone could see that after stating that his class's strategy was to obtain result three, this guy had no intention of hiding it at all, and his purpose in continuing to participate in the discussion was to gather intelligence.

The second round of communication lasted much longer than the first. When the chat ended, the boy looked at the time and found that more than half of the one-hour limit had passed.

"Then let's take a break first. I see everyone is tired."

Mitsuru Hashima signaled everyone to take a break. After all, with everyone having their own agenda, it was impossible to come up with any important decisions. Everyone basically knew that they were just wasting time.

"Hey, then I want to sit here."

At this moment, Kushida Kikyo suddenly stood up from the stool she was sitting on and walked to the sofa where Hashima Hikaru was sitting.

Logically speaking, humans are social animals, so after entering the discussion room, students from the four classes basically automatically divided themselves into their own areas.

Class A sat on the sofa in the middle, while Class C and Class D sat at the small wooden tables and matching chairs on both sides. Only a few people from Class B were standing and leaning against the corner of the room.

Such clear distinctions in behavior actually also reflect distrust of other classes.

But after saying that, Kikyo Kushida actually sat down next to Hikaru Hashima, which surprised the students who were watching.

Hirata Yosuke took a look at Kushima Kikyo's condition. After she sat down, she almost touched Hashima Hikaru's shoulder. This was obviously not the usual behavior of the short-haired girl.

As a classmate, Hirata actually understood the principles of this classmate Kushida. Although she acted like she was on good terms with everyone, that was mostly just verbal. He had never seen Kushida so close to a boy, let alone a student from another class.

Even the aloof black-haired girl was a little surprised after seeing this scene, although she thought that as long as Kikyo Kushida didn't bother her, it would be fine and it would be none of her business who she came into contact with.

But the scene before her made Horikita Suzune recall the moment when the boy fed her herbs on the uninhabited island. At that time, the boy did put his arm around her shoulders, but because she was weak at the time, she did not react much.

What a shameful memory...

Horikita Suzune rubbed her dry eyes and looked away from the man and woman sitting over there.

She was actually also thinking about how to deal with this exam. If she wanted the class to gain greater benefits, generally speaking, apart from result one, result three would naturally bring the greatest benefits.

But if you guess wrong, it will lead to more serious consequences, so you must be 100% sure of the correct answer. This is why the school prohibits copying or modifying text messages, in order to ensure the uniqueness of the means of proof.

When he saw Kushida Kikyo suddenly sitting next to him, Hashima Hikaru was a little surprised. Girls usually only look for him in private. Now in front of so many people, wouldn't it be a bit too eye-catching?

"Kushida-san...?"

"What's wrong, Hashima-san? Do you think I can't sit here?" The short-haired girl showed a playful smile on her face.

"Well, that's not the case. After all, this is a public area, and I don't have the authority to stop Kushida-san." Hashima Hikaru hinted to her with his eyes, hoping that she could understand his considerations.

"That's good. The sofa is still more comfortable." Kushida Kikyo stretched lazily, as if she didn't notice the boy's gaze at all. She just smiled faintly and said, "I don't think everyone should discuss it later. After all, we didn't come up with an answer before."

"..."

Mitsuru Hashima glanced at the other people in the room. Although they had gone through the previous two rounds of discussions, their relationship had not become closer at all, and there was no way to talk about building trust.

So this first discussion probably won't lead to any useful conclusions, but it's easy to guess the answer.

"That can't be helped. After all, we're not classmates. It's hard to build a trusting relationship."

Hashima Hikaru smiled gently, ignoring Kushida Kikyo who was rubbing his shoulder, and planned to close his eyes and rest for a while.

"Hehehe, that's indeed the case."

Although she still had a gentle smile on her face, Kikyo Kushida had actually already thought of her own plan after the exam began. Her goal was actually to achieve result one, so that everyone could obtain 50 personal points, and she would obtain one million.

That’s right, the one who was favored by the Dragon Group was actually Kikyo Kushida, but she didn’t tell this information to anyone because the girl only believed in herself.

Private points are quite important in this school, and Kushida believes that this is necessary in order to maintain his status.

After these two rounds of discussions, Kikyo Kushida actually felt that if she wanted to achieve this result, she would need to conduct multi-party negotiations and communications, and she must find suitable allies.

After hearing that Class A, led by Hashima Hikaru, had proposed to achieve result one, the girl immediately thought of Hashima Hikaru's ability.

After all, the two of them had a private trading relationship established before. If a contract is used as a limitation, it can ensure that the other party will not betray them.

After resting for a while, Mitsuru Hashima opened his eyes again. He looked at his watch and saw that there were still a few minutes left before the first discussion. It looked like everyone was not planning to communicate again, so it would be better to disband after the time was up.

The boy rubbed his temples, recalling that he had written down the names of the three favored students in Class A that morning. If possible, it would be best to find a pattern before the discussion in the evening, so that the next step of intelligence gathering would be more targeted.

When the one-hour discussion time was over, students from all classes began to leave the room one by one. Just as Hashima Hikaru was about to return to the cabin with Kanzaki Ryuji and the others, a girl's voice came from behind.

"Hashima-san, I have something to tell you. Can I use up some of your rest time?"

"...Can."

The boy pondered for a moment, then signaled the other students in Class A to leave first, and then he walked to Kushida Kikyo's side.

The short-haired girl had picturesque features and looked at Hikaru Hashima with a smile. When he approached, she immediately stood on tiptoe and whispered something softly into his ear.

"Hashima-san, do you want to know who the Dragon Group's favored one is?"

Chapter 185: Solving the problem, the pattern is fifty sounds!

"Hashima-san, do you want to know who the Dragon Group's favored one is?"

When these words rang in his ears, the surprise in Hashima Hikaru's eyes flashed away, but he still responded with a calm expression: "Is this what Kushida-san wanted to tell you?"

"That's right, but let's find a quiet place." Kushida Kikyo didn't see the expression she expected on the other person's face, but she was not discouraged.
