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

"can."

Then the two of them came to a very secluded place on the second floor of the cruise ship. There was no one around, and there was a barrier nearby to block the view.

"Then let's continue with the topic we were discussing," Kushida Kikyo smiled, staring at the boy's face and whispering, "about the Dragon Group's favored individuals."

"From what you heard from Kushida-san, could it be that you already have the key information?"

Hikaru Hashima ignored her attempt to keep the secret and went straight to the point.

"Yes, I already have this information and know who the preferential treatment is."

"I see." Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly. After looking at him for a few times, he continued, "So what do you want to do by coming to see me?"

“It’s for cooperation.”

Kushida Kikyo suddenly moved closer to Hashima Hikaru's chest, and her voice immediately became much softer.

"After all, we have another layer of relationship. If I were to choose a partner, I think Hashima-san would be the most suitable person."

Feeling the girl's fragrance rushing into his nose, Hashima Hikaru smiled, then lowered his head to look into the girl's eyes and said softly, "Indeed, after all, we have cooperated many times. I still trust Kushida-san's promise."

"So what?" Kushida Kikyo looked at the other person, wanting to know his answer.

"But before that, I have one more question that I need to confirm..."

"what is the problem?"

"If we're collaborating, will it be just me and Kushida-san, or will it include Class C behind Kushida-san? I'm quite concerned about this." Hashima Hikaru asked a question he knew the answer to.

"Oh, you should know the answer to this question very well, why bother asking me?"

Kushida suddenly sneered. After the experience of telling the guy in front of her about her class, the girl didn't think he would ask such a question again. It was obvious that he said it on purpose.

"Well, it's just for safety's sake. Don't be too angry, Kushida-san."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly. This was just a simple consideration, harmless enough. He continued, "It seems the foundation of our cooperation will always be solid. However, I still want to understand what I can gain from this cooperation. What do I have to give?"

"It's very simple."

After hearing the other party's answer, the short-haired girl's tone suddenly darkened, and she slowly said, "I want the Dragon Team to complete the first result, which means that all members must answer the correct information about the beneficiaries."

“That’s a really amazing idea.”

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin and spoke slowly, "But this result will probably be difficult to achieve. After all, establishing a cooperative relationship is a very troublesome thing. If others pursue result three, they will be easily threatened."

"Wasn't your attitude just now just to achieve result one?" Kushida Kikyo said in a low voice, "As long as we can cooperate, I can tell you the information I have about the favored people."

"In this way, the final outcome for the Dragon Group will be a situation where everyone benefits. This should be the perfect ending."

Kikyo Kushida stared at the boy's face. She knew that he was a person who would not do anything without profit, so if they could complete result one, their class would be able to obtain a total of 200 million private points, which was definitely not a small amount.

"Indeed, if that's the case, this is a pretty good deal."

Hashima Hikaru thought about it in his mind. According to his original idea, after obtaining information about the three favored students in his class, if he wanted to judge the school's rules for selecting favored students, he must get the names of the favored students in other classes. This was the most correct way of thinking.

If you can get the information about the Dragon Group's favored ones, you can definitely get a more detailed idea based on the original one and increase the accuracy of the answer.

"So you agree?" A gentle smile appeared on Kushida Kikyo's face.

"Well, it's indeed a good deal, but in order to ensure that our cooperation can be successfully concluded, Kushida-san should probably prove something to me, right?"

Hashima Hikaru curled the corners of his mouth. What this sentence meant was that he wanted to see the text message from the school, after all, words alone were not enough.

"Humph, I've naturally prepared it a long time ago, but first I want to show you this."

Kikyo Kushida was the first to take out a handwritten contract from her pocket. She had asked Chabashi Sae before. In order to allow students to cooperate or trade more freely, the school actually has no mandatory regulations on the format of the contract. Handwritten contracts are acceptable, and they will take effect as long as they are stamped at the end.

"I can tell you who the Dragon Group's favored recipient is, but you have to sign this contract first, so you can't answer in advance." The short-haired girl stared at his face. "As long as we complete this step, everyone will get personal points."

"I understand."

Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly. He carefully reviewed the specific contents of the contract. It must be said that it was written in great detail. Kushida asked him to promise that after obtaining the information of the Dragon Group's beneficiaries, he would not answer in advance. If he violated the regulations, he would be willing to drop out of school automatically.

As for the additional condition, it was to actively help the girl achieve result one. This was not counted as a penalty for violating the regulations, but the boy knew what she meant, and this was the basis for the two to continue to cooperate.

The specific operation method is actually not complicated. Both Hashima Hikaru and Kushida Kikyo are confident that they can control the classmates in their class, so the remaining goal is to persuade the remaining Class B and Class D.

"Then I agree."

After pondering for a moment, the young man chose to sign the contract. The result of one group would not affect the overall situation he had originally envisioned. If the school's rules for selecting preferential treatment could be confirmed, then other groups could answer in advance.

He had to get the most out of this exam; this was the decision Hashima Hikaru made from the beginning.

After signing the contract, Kikyo Kushida added her name at the end. Since the contract had been stamped in advance, it was effective from now on.

"Happy cooperation, Hashima-san."

The short-haired girl smiled sweetly, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

"Now, Kushida-san, can you tell me the information you have?"

"Ah."

After completing the signing of the contract, what happened next surprised Hashima Hikaru, because the short-haired girl in front of him suddenly took out a mobile phone from her pocket and clicked on the text message column.

"This is the answer you want." She handed the phone to the boy with a calm expression on her face.

"So this is your proof, that's really impressive."

Hashima Mitsuru glanced at the message on his phone and had a deeper understanding of the character of this short-haired girl. She probably made this decision immediately after receiving the text message.

Instead of waiting for others to guess the answer, it is better to take the initiative to push all members of the team to achieve result one, so that she can get greater benefits as the favored party.

"Then let's have a happy cooperation, Kushida-san."

-----------

After separating from Kushida Kikyo, Hashima Hikaru has been sitting in the room, checking the information he has obtained and constantly thinking about the school's rules for selecting preferential treatment.

After obtaining detailed information about the four beneficiaries, combined with the information provided by the school at the beginning, we can make bold guesses in many directions.

"If that's the case... would that be correct?"

After trying several methods, the boy finally discovered an obvious pattern when he used a certain format.

"This is..., is this what it is?"

Mitsuru Hashima looked at the name he had written, and the answer had surfaced. The fifty sounds and the ten heavenly stems, this was the pattern he found.

"But... it can't be fully confirmed yet."

The young man touched his chin, a solemn glint in his eyes. "To be on the safe side, perhaps I should test the people who are arranged according to this rule. Only in this way can I guarantee that the answer is foolproof."

Chapter 186: Sakura Prepares to Charge

In the quiet cabin, Mitsuru Hashima was sitting at the table, carefully reviewing the pattern he had just guessed.

After figuring this out, the boy did not immediately communicate this discovery directly to Ichinose, because he still planned to conduct further verification.

After confirming that one of the favored students in Class C is Kikyo Kushida, if we apply this rule based on her personal information, it would indeed be in compliance, but if we make a decision directly like that, it would be a bit hasty.

Hikaru Hashima has copied down the list of members of the twelve groups put together by everyone in the class group. If he wants to confirm that this rule is 100% correct, he needs to identify at least one more person who is favored by Class C, so as to ensure that the direction of thinking is foolproof.

After all, the school's selection rules are just guesses. Whether the rules are designed based on all students or classes, these are all questions that cannot be answered clearly at this stage.

But now that he had the information about the favored students in the two classes, he was only one step away from confirming the truth. The boy's eyes wandered over the notes, selecting two names.

In fact, according to the current situation, as long as one of these two people can be confirmed to be the favored person, Hashima Hikaru can immediately lock in all the remaining answers. Now that the first discussion has just ended, there is still plenty of time left.

"No matter what, we must take the initiative."

Hashima Hikaru rubbed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "I still have to go and work with Kushida to convince the people in Class B and Class D to help the Dragon Team reach Result 1. This matter is not very troublesome, but we still have to be careful."

Just as he fell into deep thought and began to think about the subsequent negotiation methods in his mind, his phone soon rang with a notification of a received text message.

When I opened it, I saw it was from Sakura Airi.

Sakura Airi: Hashima-san, can we meet now?

"She actually sent me a message at this time... She must have encountered some great difficulties."

The boy glanced at the information he had written down. The students in Class C who were in the same group with Sakura Airi were Ike Kanji, Sudo Ken, and Matsushita Chiaki.

Although there is one girl, the other two boys are both heavyweights.

Hikaru Hashima had an impression of them all, and if Haruki Yamauchi was included in the mix, these three formed the famous "drag trio" in Class C. This was the situation described by Kikyo Kushida. Not only were they unpopular, but more importantly, there was also Sudo who caused the violence, so the other students in Class C naturally didn't want to associate with them.

Faced with such a situation, based on Sakura Airi's usual personality, not to mention whether she could think about the exam, it would probably be difficult for her to even speak in a group discussion.

What's more, the girl herself is not willing to communicate with classmates. I guess she will remain silent throughout the whole process?

After thinking about it for a while, Hashima Hikaru agreed to Sakura's request, and the girl immediately sent an address message.

It was at the corner of the corridor behind an entertainment venue on the second floor underground. There seemed to be a storage room for groceries. Normally, no one would come here, but it was discovered by Sakura Airi.

Hashima Hikaru: I'll be leaving soon.

The boy walked out of his room and went down the stairs according to the address sent by the other party. Although Sakura's stocks have been almost sold now, the price still has room to rise and cannot be left alone.

After walking for a few minutes, Hashima Hikaru passed through the KTV corridor and saw the familiar figure in front of him.

"Sakura-san."

He quickened his pace and walked forward, a gentle smile on his face.

"Good afternoon, Hashima-san."

After greeting, Hashima Hikaru looked down at the red-haired girl standing in front of him. Sakura Airi was still wearing the simple and loose sportswear, but when she saw the boy coming over, she immediately took off her glasses.

"Why did you come to me suddenly? Did something happen, Sakura-san?" Hashima Hikaru's tone was relaxed. Now he and Sakura Airi didn't need to be too restrained when getting along with each other. After all, they were already very familiar with each other.

"It's just a little bit of trouble, about the exam..." Although a little embarrassed, Sakura still expressed her thoughts smoothly: "So I want to talk to Hashima-san, is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem. We are good friends."

Hashima Hikaru nodded. He had expected this answer, so he thought it was normal.

"Then let's go inside and talk. There's quite a lot of space here." After hearing the other party's agreement, Sakura Airi immediately opened the door of the storage room next to her. Because the cruise ship was completely open to students, it was not locked.

"Hey, has Sakura-san been here before?"

Seeing the other party's proficiency, Mitsuru Hashima was a little surprised. Ordinary students would not consider this kind of place as a tourist destination.

"I found it last time when I was looking for a new photo spot. There's actually a glass window inside that lets you see the sea." The red-haired girl pushed open the door of the storage room and turned to walk in.

And when Mitsuru Hashima followed her in, he discovered that although this place was relatively remote, it was indeed a pretty good place.

Since it was afternoon, light shone in through the square glass window. The things inside were basically piled up in the corner on the left. The right side was quite spacious, and there was no strange smell coming out. It was quite suitable as a resting place to kill time. After all, it was quieter here than upstairs, and you would basically not run into anyone.

In Sakura's usual style, this really seems like a choice she would make.

"What do you think of this place, Hashima-san?" The girl basked in the sunlight, a charming smile on her pretty face.

"It's really not bad. As expected of Sakura-san, you always find such a good place."

Hashima Hikaru walked over and stood with her. His task now was to be a perfect listener so that Sakura Airi could tell him about her situation.

In the following time, the red-haired girl began to slowly tell Hashima Hikaru everything that had happened to her today, including the text messages she received and the first discussion she participated in.

Sakura Airi is from the Ox Group, and she is not a favored person.

It was obviously important class information, but she spoke about it without any pause, as if it was no big deal at all.

When facing the group discussion, Sakura Airi, who was timid by nature, became even more flustered when looking at the students from other classes. So she kept suppressing the urge to leave and sat in her chair in silence. What finally supported her was the idea of ​​changing herself that the girl had said before.

"So, Sakura-san, are you planning to take the first step in this regard?" Hashima Hikaru smiled in admiration. "If you can really do that, that would be great."

"I just thought about it for a moment, but in the end I didn't succeed in speaking."

A faint blush appeared on Sakura Airi's pretty face. Even though she had declared in front of the boy last time that she wanted to change herself, when the time came to take the first step to communicate with others, she still didn't muster up the courage.

"I think for Sakura-san, this is a gradual process. You can't rush it," Hikaru Hashima said gently, gazing at her face. "Change doesn't happen overnight, especially such a big change."

"Since Sakura-san is willing to make this decision bravely, then I believe you can move forward slowly. There is still a lot of time in the future, and you will eventually reach a destination that will satisfy you."

"Really? Does Hashima-san really think so?" She raised her eyes and stared at the face that she had been dreaming about so close to her.

"Of course, I will stand by you, Sakura-san, and support you."

"That..."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Hashima Hikaru said, Sakura Airi's face turned even redder. The girl felt her heart suddenly getting hot, because she had actually made a bold decision in her heart before she made the invitation to meet today.

"I actually have something I want to ask of you, Hashima-san...I don't know...is it possible?"
