There was less than an hour left until the second discussion at 8 o'clock in the evening, so the boy found a place to rest and started sending messages to Ichinose Honami.
Hashima Hikaru: Ichinose-san, what are you doing now?
At this time, the pink-haired girl sitting in her room saw the text message from Hashima Hikaru and immediately typed a reply with a smile on her face. She had been thinking about the strategy for the second discussion, so she was quite distressed.
Ichinose Honami: I'm thinking about the strategy for the second group discussion. Does Hashima-san need anything from me?
Hashima Hikaru: After the second discussion, let's meet somewhere. I have something important to discuss with Ichinose-san.
Ichinose Honami: Okay, then after this discussion I'll go straight to Hashima-san's room.
Hashima Hikaru: Sure.
After putting down his phone, the young man confirmed the list of favored people again in his mind. In order to prevent any further complications, tonight was actually the best time to give an answer. However, before that, he still had to deal with the situation of the Dragon Group.
After all, a cooperative relationship has been established with Kikyo Kushida. If the Dragon Group can achieve result one, it will not be too much of a loss. At least two million private points will be added to the class.
As for the group of three Class A favored students, they must figure out how to answer the questions in a way that will be more beneficial to the class. However, before that, it is more important to firmly grasp the benefits that can be obtained.
Chapter 197: The Second Discussion, the Results of Promoting the Dragon Group
When it was around 7:50 in the evening, Mitsuru Hashima had already walked to the door of the Dragon Group's room. At such a critical moment, no one would like to arrive on time. Coming early is a safer option.
"Hashima-san, you're here."
The other three students from Class A had naturally arrived, and they immediately surrounded Hikaru Hashima when they saw him.
"Well, good evening, everyone."
After greeting them, the boy did not explain his discovery to them. For the sake of confidentiality, it would be better to wait until the results were settled before explaining it to everyone.
"Let's go in together. It's almost time anyway."
Kanzaki Ryuji invited everyone to push the door open. There were quite a lot of people inside. Except for the students in Class D, the students in Class B and Class C were all there.
After a while, Long Yuan walked into the classroom with three students from Class D. After the members of the Dragon Group gathered, the second discussion officially began at eight o'clock.
"Well, since the discussion has already begun, how about letting Class A speak first this time, following the pattern from last time?"
Since Hashima Hikaru has decided to let the Dragon Group achieve result one, he must convey his ideas completely and get everyone present to agree.
"Class B will not participate in the discussion. You can say whatever you want."
Katsuragi Kohei still folded his arms and made his declaration with a serious expression.
"What about your two classes?"
Hashima Hikaru looked at the students in Class C and Class D. It seemed that Kushida Kikyo was still the spokesperson for Class C, so she replied immediately.
"Our class needs to participate in the discussion. We'll talk about it next time it's our turn."
After exchanging glances with the short-haired girl, the boy's gaze finally fell on Ryuen Sho.
The long-haired man had an expression of impatience on his face, and Mitsuru Hashima naturally knew why. After all, he had just forced him to sign the contract, so Ryuen Sho had already understood the boy's plan.
"Hashima, stop pretending and just tell me your plan. I will fulfill our agreement."
The meaning of Long Yuanxiang's speech was easy to understand, so it immediately attracted the attention of the two classes next to him.
Katsuragi Kohei's expression changed slightly at first, and then he looked at Hashima Hikaru deeply. He didn't expect that after only a few hours, the other party had already reached a cooperation with Ryuen Sho?
On the other side, a hint of surprise flashed across Kushida Kikyo's beautiful eyes. At the beginning, the division of labor between her and Hashima Hikaru was that she would persuade Class B, and then the boy would persuade Class D. But from Ryuuen's tone, could it be that the other party had already done it?
Naturally, Hashima Hikaru had no time to pay attention to the different expressions of the crowd. Instead, he looked at Ryuen Sho and said lightly, "As expected of Ryuen-san, it's a good thing that you understand the importance of the contract."
"But since you've already pointed it out, I won't hide it anymore."
The boy walked to the middle of the room and began to express his thoughts.
"Everyone, our Class A's answer plan remains unchanged. That is to have the Dragon Team complete Result One."
Hashima Hikaru's eyes swept over Katsuragi Kōhei, Kushida Kikyo, and Ryuen Sho one by one, and he explained slowly, "Because outcome one is the best option. As long as we can achieve this result, each class will gain personal points, and there will be no disputes over class evaluation scores, allowing us to conclude this exam peacefully."
"......" Katsuragi Kohei did not say anything, but used his actions to show that their class would not participate in the discussion.
"Kushida-san?" He looked at the short-haired girl.
"Our class agrees with this plan. After all, guessing who will be favored is too difficult, and there are also certain risks. If you guess wrong, you will lose class evaluation points, which no one wants to accept."
Kushida Kikyo's tone sounded like she was genuinely worried about everyone, and her acting was amazing.
"If we all choose outcome one, then everyone will get private points in the end. Wouldn't that be the best outcome? Five hundred thousand points should take a long time to earn."
"Well, that's true. After all, everyone wants private points."
After nodding, Hashima Hikaru looked at Ryuen Sho knowingly and asked, "So, Ryuen-kun, what do you think?"
"Hmph, since you've already said that, then we'll just agree with your idea. It won't be a loss in the end anyway."
Ryuen Sho's original plan was to find out who the Dragon Group's favored person was, and then think about the rules by which the school selected the favored ones to expand the class's results. This would be a good way to help him control the class.
But after being tricked by Hashima Kou, he was forced to sign the contract, so he could only agree with Class D's choice according to the boy's plan, which was to implement result one.
"In that case, the only class that needs convincing is Class B."
Hashima Hikaru turned around and looked at Katsuragi Kōhei, who was crossing his arms. The bald man remained silent with a stern face after seeing the three classes suddenly united as one.
"Hashima-san, let me go and convince him."
At this time, Kikyo Kushida had already walked to the side of Hikaru Hashima, intending to carry out her own mission.
"Let's go there together."
To be on the safe side, Hashima Hikaru and Kushida Kikyo walked in front of Katsuragi Kōhei.
"Is Katsuragi Kōhei really unwilling to agree to our plan?" Kushida Kikyo looked anxious.
"..."
"Let me do it."
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Mitsuru Hashima slowly walked in front of him, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Katsuragi-san's strategy of not discussing this is to achieve outcome two, allowing the favored class member in your class to finally hide and gain 500,000 personal points as a profit."
"But the benefits of this aren't clear. Don't forget what's written in the rules. The school can make multiple point payments to hide the information of those being favored. You can't tell what faction these people belong to, right?"
"If these people are from the Sakayanagi faction, do you really think this exam result is what you wanted?"
"..."
"Can you really guarantee that everyone can achieve Result 1? Just relying on the head's promise?"
Kōhei Katsuragi suddenly spoke. He was very clear about the interests involved, so his attitude was somewhat relaxed.
"of course not."
Seeing the other party relent, Hashima Hikaru immediately continued with a smile, "We can prepare a contract for everyone present to sign. The conditions are that everyone agrees to the first option. Before the final discussion is over, the Dragon Group's favored person must stand up and reveal his identity. Then we must wait until the stipulated time of 9:30 to answer. Any acts of betrayal are prohibited during this period."
"Although there is only half an hour between the end of the discussion and the time to answer, anyone who answers before this time will be considered a breach of contract, and the consequence will be expulsion."
"In the final analysis, the difficulty of this exam actually lies in how to convince students from other classes. Since we can reach a consensus, why can't we harvest the school's points together?"
"What's your opinion, Katsuragi-san?" Hikaru Hashima looked at Katsuragi Yasuhira's gloomy face.
"..."
After thinking for a while, Kōhei Katsuragi finally nodded.
"Then let's do it."
Chapter 198: The Monkey Group Answers in Advance
At the second collective discussion meeting of the Dragon Team, the proposal put forward by Hashima Hikaru was agreed upon by all classes.
When the rules of this special exam were revealed, everyone understood that both result one and result two were very good ways to answer, because under the fair selection preferential model, these two results would allow each class to obtain a private point reward paid by the school, and there was no cost.
If you choose result three or result four, although there is a chance of obtaining class evaluation scores, the risk of operation is too high because there are many restrictions. If you guess wrong, the class will pay a huge price.
In the absence of absolute certainty, choosing the first two options is obviously safer. This is also the implementation strategy that Kikyo Kushida had thought of from the beginning, which allows her to seize the initiative and reap the greatest benefits.
After confirming that everyone agreed to perform this operation, the girl touched the contract in her shirt pocket and reached out to take it out.
"Hashima-san, I've already prepared the contract."
"Well, actually, we can have everyone sign it now to avoid any new incidents."
Hikaru Hashima took the contract in his hand and glanced at the plan on it. He had to say that Kushida was very careful. She had blocked all possibilities with words and prohibited anyone from finding loopholes.
The blank space below is reserved for everyone to sign. There are now 15 people in the Dragon Group. As long as everyone signs their name, the contract will take effect on the spot.
After checking the contract, Mitsuru Hashima looked at the time and saw that there were still dozens of minutes left before the end of this discussion.
"Since everyone agrees to answer according to Result 1, let's sign here accordingly," Hikaru Hashima held up the contract and showed it to everyone. "For the peace of mind of everyone in the Dragon Group, once we've signed, we won't have to worry about any other unexpected situations. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Then let's sign the contract. After all, we finally reached a consensus."
As the class leader of Class C, Yosuke Hirata spoke up in a very supportive manner at this time. He approved of Kikyo Kushida's battle plan, which could bring a lot of benefits to the class, and there was no reason to object.
"Then come and sign."
Katsuragi Kohei has figured out the pros and cons of this matter. If he can control important resources such as private points in his own hands, he will have more capital to compete with Sakayanagi.
"Haha, it looks like you've prepared very well, Hashima."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Ryuen Sho's words. He had just seen that the contract was taken out of Kushida Kikyo's pocket, which meant that they had started cooperating a long time ago.
"It's a good thing to be well prepared, Ryuuen-kun."
Hikaru Hashima handed the contract in his hand and asked the students who gathered around him to sign their names one by one. Only after completing this step could the cooperation with Kikyo Kushida be officially reached.
However, what the other party didn't know was that the boy had already figured out the information of all the favored students in the class. If nothing unexpected happened, eight groups would finish their exams early tonight, and all the rewards would be pocketed by Class A.
A few minutes later, the contract was signed by everyone in the Dragon Group. Hikaru Hashima folded the contract and handed it back to Kikyo Kushida, saying to her with a smile, "Then I'll give this contract to Kushida-san for safekeeping. You can take it out again for the final discussion before the exam."
"Well, I will keep it well." A faint smile appeared on the pretty face of the short-haired girl.
She had never expected that the plan could be completed so smoothly. At first, Kushida Kikyo was worried that she would not be able to convince the students in Class B and Class D, and thought that it would take at least several rounds of discussion. However, with the encouragement of Hashima Hikaru, she actually integrated everyone's ideas in the second discussion and completed the signing of the contract.
"Now that everyone has signed the contract, it's time to relax. We don't need to be too nervous. Just wait for the discussion to end."
Hashima Hikaru glanced at everyone in the room and said in a relaxed tone, "Maybe we can bring some entertainment items with us next time we discuss this. After all, just sitting there doing nothing is pretty boring."
"What does Hashima-san like? I can bring it over tomorrow." Kushima Kikyo spoke quickly. She happened to be sitting next to the boy and turned her head to stare at his handsome profile.
"Well, I'm fine with either. I don't have a particular preference. Poker or board games are fine."
"Then I'll prepare a board game tomorrow that can be played by many people, so that everyone can participate."
Kikyo Kushida really likes organizing group activities, so this is her specialty. She has dabbled in all the common board games and card games, so she made a decision quickly.
"That's it, it's entirely up to everyone's discretion whether to participate or not." Hashima Hikaru looked at the other three students in Class A, and they all agreed.
"Uh-huh."
As everyone was chatting, the second discussion time quickly came to an end.
When the classmates began to disperse, Mitsuru Hashima called out to his classmates and walked with them to a secluded corner.
"I'm going to talk to Ichinose-san about something very important. Please keep an eye on your text messages and remember not to make any noise. Do you understand me?"
The young man gave instructions to the three of them in a very serious tone. After all, the Dragon Group's exam would not end early, so he had to explain it to them in advance to avoid any accidents.
"Understood. We'll do what Hashima-san wants."
"Yes, is Hashima-san sure of victory?" A smile appeared on Tsunabe Hitomi's face.
"I guess so, but no one can tell until the last moment, so everyone should remember to stay calm. Let's all look forward to the final results."
"Well, we all know this, so please go ahead and do it, Hashima-san."
Kanzaki Ryuji actually roughly guessed what Hashima Hikaru was planning to do, but now was not a good time to ask questions. If Class A could win this special exam in the end, they could figure out the doubts in their hearts at that time.
"Then let's disband."
After separating from the trio, Hikaru Hashima immediately walked towards her dormitory. As a result, when she turned the corner, a very familiar pink figure suddenly appeared in her sight. It was Ichinose Honami.
"Hashima-san, you're back."
Since there were other people in the room, Ichinose didn't greet him by name, but walked over to the boy with a smile on her face.
"Yes, Ichinose-san."
