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

In a quiet corner of the second-floor deck, a man and a woman were staring at each other closely.

Since her previous question was directly evaded by the other party, Kushida Kikyo is actually not in a very happy mood. After receiving the text messages informing her of the end of the exams of the eight groups yesterday, she began to suspect Hashima Hikaru.

Because judging by the abilities the boy showed in the first semester, this guy is most likely the mastermind behind the exam, aiming to reap the biggest reward.

If you think about it this way, it seems a bit hasty to actively seek his cooperation and announce the list of the Dragon Group's favored students. If he really guessed it right, then the names of the remaining two favored students in Class C, besides Kushida, may have been sent out. Although the specific result is still unclear, if the answer is correct, Class C will lose 100 points in the class evaluation.

Class C is not in a good situation right now. If this point is deducted, it may be overtaken by Class D behind it.

"Do you think I'll believe you?" Kushida looked at the boy's face coldly. "I'm looking for you to exchange information, not to actively extract it."

"But I really don't know. I can't just come up with some weird answer and tell you," Hashima Hikaru smiled unmoved and continued, "If it's about exchanging information, I can actually provide Kushida-san with some other information."

"What is it?"

"It's about a loophole in the rules of this special exam. I wonder if Kushida-san would like to know?"

In fact, Hashima Hikaru met Hoshinomiya Chie on the deck this morning. The two chatted briefly, and the boy, who was always proactive, certainly would not miss this opportunity, so he made some attempts to test the young female teacher.

The result of trial and error is that the rules announced by the school have a lot of room for maneuver, and the most interesting point is that among the remaining four groups, except for the Dragon Group that has already signed the contract, the beneficiaries in the remaining three groups are all members of Class A, so even if this information is provided to members of other classes, they will have no use for it.

This is the benefit of understanding the information gap.

It seemed like he was helping the other party, but he did not leave any room for maneuver at all. As long as the final contract was used as a backup to control the situation, the outcome would be completely doomed.

"Is there such a thing?" Kushida blinked his big eyes, looking a little surprised.

"Of course, you could even say that both the regular school rules and the special exam rules have some loopholes, but it all depends on whether you can find them."

Hashima Hikaru replied nonchalantly, "So, Kushida-san agrees to this information exchange?"

"Okay, I agree to this exchange. I can tell you who conducted the monkey team's answers, but you have to explain the rules you understand."

Kikyo Kushida doesn't know if there are any other preferential students in her class who are still taking the exam. After all, normal interpersonal relationships will not come into play at this time, and everyone has not disclosed their mobile phone information.

But if she could understand the loopholes in the rules, she could use her connections to contact classmates to explain her plan and further improve her status in the class.

This is the result she wants to achieve. Even if she fails to win in the end, her reputation will definitely be greatly improved.

"Then there's no need to sign a contract. We already know each other so well anyway." Mitsuru Hashima smiled slightly, his face showing great trust in the other party.

"Humph, I won't break the contract anyway."

Kushida Kikyo rolled her eyes at someone in annoyance. She had a lot of private contact with Hashima Hikaru during this semester, so she had a general understanding of the boy's character. Although this guy was a person who would not do anything without profit, he had basically done what he promised in the process of getting along with her, and had never reneged on his promises.

"Then let me speak first, but we need to lower the volume so that others won't hear us."

Hikaru Hashima looked at the surrounding environment. Although this place was hidden, it was really questionable whether the sound insulation was good.

However, as expected, the exam had actually come to an end. Even if someone really heard it, it didn't matter. They had no way to retaliate. After all, the school's text messages could not be copied or tampered with, and there was no room for manipulation.

"Yes, I know."

Kushida nodded slightly, then moved directly in front of the boy. The distance between them was very small. As long as Hashima Hikaru stretched out his hand, he could easily hold her in his arms.

"?" Hashima Hikaru subconsciously moved back, "Too close, Kushida-san."

"That's it. It's not the first time we've done this." Kushida Kikyo curled her lips into a smile. "Or is Hashima-san worried about what might happen?"

"...I just feel a little hot, that's all, but since you said so, let's leave it like this for now."

Hikaru Hashima ignored the cunning expression on the other person's face, and lowered his voice to begin describing the loophole in the rules he had discovered.

"Actually, it's about the use of mobile phones. The rules clearly state that text messages cannot be copied or tampered with, so the text message sent to confirm the preferential treatment must be linked to the student's phone."

"But what if you replace someone else's phone? The rules only say you can't force them to use your phone, but if it's a voluntary replacement, that's not an issue."

"But if someone else makes a phone call right there, it'll be exposed," Kushida said with a smile. She looked at Hashima Hikaru's confident expression and began to follow his train of thought. "Besides, using someone else's phone is always a little awkward. Someone might notice."

"That's right, so this is just the first step," Hikaru Hashima pointed to the SIM card slot next to the phone and said calmly, "To prevent anyone from operating the phone, the school has locked the SIM card and phone together. If you change them on your own, both phones will be unusable."

"Then...what is the loophole that Hashima-san discovered?" Kushida was a little confused. Wasn't the road blocked?

"Kushida-san, please think about what the highest sequence in this school is?" Hashima Hikaru smiled mysteriously.

"You mean... System S?"

Kushida's brain was not slow, so she figured this out quickly. After all, even purchasing points was allowed. If she paid the points, it would definitely be possible to unlock the phone and SIM card.

Once this plan is implemented, the beneficiary can disguise himself better and let his companions act as fake candidates. After all, mobile phone text messages can be copied at will, but the beneficiary's text messages cannot be changed no matter what.

As long as it can confuse others, this operation will be effective.

"Well, this information is very useful."

After saying this, Hashima Hikaru looked at Kushida's delicate little face and asked softly.

"That's true, but I want to know when did Hashima-san discover this?"

"Today is the day, what do you want to say, Kushida-san?"

"Just take what you said as true."

Kushida Kikyo looked at the other person deeply, and her evaluation of the boy was refreshed again. Such keen insight was probably the key to his leading Class A to take first place.

"Why do you say that? I would never lie to Kushida-san."

Now, when facing Kushida, Hashima Hikaru can lie calmly because he knows that the other party is the same person, so he has no psychological burden at all.

"Tsk, you can only say this to Xiao Fanbo. She'll believe whatever you say anyway."

Kushida Kikyo sneered, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

After spending so much time together, the short-haired girl basically doesn't wear a mask in front of Hikaru Hashima now. Her original angelic gentle tone is fine, and her real indifferent expression is naturally also fine.

"Hahaha, let's just leave it at that. Anyway, I've already given out my information, and now it's Kushida-san's turn." Hashima Hikaru smiled carefreely, not caring at all about the other person's tone.

Just like Kushida Kikyo had some kind of trust in him, the boy was not worried that the other party would not admit it. After all, the most important key to the cooperation between the two was Horikita Suzune, and it was impossible for her to fall out over such a small matter.

"The answerer from the Monkey Team is Rokusuke Kouenji from our class." The girl didn't hesitate and immediately told the information she knew. There was basically no information blockade in Class C about this matter, so many people knew about it.

"Kōenji?"

Mitsuru Hashima's expression froze, and the figure of a tall blond man instantly emerged in his mind. He remembered that when he sold the hidden rules at the beginning of the school year, the other party had taken the initiative to win him over.

At that time, the boy thought of this guy as just an arrogant playboy. He didn't expect that he was actually a traitor to the Monkey Group?

The key point behind this matter is whether he guessed the name of the beneficiary or just answered casually?

If you want to know the answer, you can only wait for the results to be announced after the exam.

[Another member of Class C? Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was also there last time. This class is really complicated.]

There were complicated thoughts in Hashima Hikaru's mind, and after seeing him like this, Kushida Kikyo on the opposite side began to summarize this private conversation.

"Then our information exchange is over. I'm leaving now."

"Please take care, Kushida-san."

However, after he said this, he saw that the girl stopped where she was, turned her head and looked at him coldly.

Hashima Hikaru actually understood the other party's hint, but he pretended not to understand and asked in return, "Kushida-san, is there anything else?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, a gentle smile returned to Kushima Kikyo's face, and she said to Hashima Hikaru, "Hashima-san, could you take me back to my room? I have something else to say to you."

"Is that so? Of course."

After seeing the other person's eyes, Hashima Hikaru guessed that she actually had something else to say to him, but he didn't take the initiative to speak, just to wait for her to compromise with him.

This is the core idea of ​​getting along with Kikyo Kushida. You must not let her get ahead of you and you will never give up the initiative.

[You really understand, Kushida-san.]

Chapter 203: Kushida Kikyo's Hug Reward

Kushida Kikyo's room is not far away. As the sociable girl in Class C, she can talk to both boys and girls, so the dormitory with four people in a room is quite harmonious thanks to the girl's active atmosphere creation.

Just when she was on the road, she had already taken the initiative to send a message to her roommates, saying that she would be meeting someone in the dormitory later and hoped that they would give her some convenience.

This is the focus of Kushida's relationship management. If you want others to act in accordance with your ideas, daily arrangements are essential. Unless you are the ruler, this is the most appropriate way.

Walking together in the corridor, Hashima Hikaru and Kushida Kikyo kept a considerable distance between them. After all, there might be other people passing by in the corridor, so it was best not to expose their private relationship.

After walking for a while, the two came to the girl's room on the cruise ship. After they walked in, three figures came out from a corner in the distance. They were the girl's three roommates.

When they saw Hashima Hikaru following Kushida Kikyo into the room, everyone's expression looked a little strange.

"Hey, did you see that?"

Wang Meiyu, a relative of Kushida, felt like she smelled gossip.

"Of course, we're not blind yet."

The girl who answered was named Inogashira Shin, and she was also a member of Kushida's small group. She naturally saw the tall and straight figure, and Inogashira had voted for the other party, so she recognized who it was at the first time.

"It's actually Hashima-san?"

The last girl was named Sato Maya. There was shock on her face because she never expected that these two people would contact each other privately.

"Hashima-san actually came to Kushida-san's room? What's their relationship?!"

The more Wang Meiyu thought about it, the more excited she became. After all, she usually never saw Kushida being so close to any boy, let alone a student from another class.

"Ah, I'm so concerned..."

"But I heard that Hashima-san is dating Ichinose-san, who's in the same class as her?"

"That's a rumor. I know Ando from Class A. She said they're not dating yet and are just friends."

"Oh, in that case, does that mean..." Wang Meiyu showed an eager expression. She wanted to eavesdrop and see what these two people were doing in there and why Kushida specifically asked everyone to make room.

"Want to take a look?"

"Forget it. I feel like this isn't a good idea. And if Kushida-san finds out, she'll probably be mad."

"Then what should we do?"

Inogashira was a little hesitant. After all, this kind of thing was actually a bit too much. Although everyone had a good relationship, prying into secrets was a taboo in social relationships.

"How about we just wait here, and when they come out we can go over and talk to them?"

"can."

This proposal was unanimously approved by the three. After all, it did not violate the agreement between Kikyo and Kushida. Their exams were already over, so now they were very curious about the relationship between Hashima Hikaru and Kushida.

"Hehehe, I'm really looking forward to it."

-----------

Hikaru Hashima naturally didn't know that there were three people outside watching the girl's room. After he entered here, he quickly walked to the balcony of the room.

"Hashima-san, here, this is your favorite soda."

Kushida Kikyo walked behind him and handed the boy a bottle of peach-flavored soda.

"Oh, thank you."

"Hehehe, this tastes really good. I like drinking it now too."

The two stood side by side on the balcony of the room. As a rest room on this luxury cruise ship, the sound insulation here was much better than on the deck, so Kushida brought the other party back to facilitate the discussion of more private matters.

"So, Kushida-san, can you tell me what you want to talk to me about now?" Hikaru Hashima took a sip of his drink, a satisfied look on his face.

"Of course it's about Horikita."

When she mentioned this name, the girl's tone became noticeably lower. She looked at the sea in the distance with a complicated tone.

"What's wrong with Horikita-san? Didn't she give you the right to speak in the group discussion? I noticed she was very quiet during our Dragon Group's discussion."

"Indeed, this idea was thought up by Hirata-san. He suggested that I give the speech and that Horikita observe students from other classes, using this opportunity to gather information about the favored students."

"So, isn't this a good division of labor?"

"Of course, what I care about is not this, but the attitude of this woman Horikita..."

Kushida turned his head, stared into Hashima Hikaru's eyes and asked, "Her attitude has changed a bit since the deserted island exam. I wonder if this has anything to do with you."

"Change?"

Hikaru Hashima was really unaware of this. The only conversation between the two during that period of time was when he handed the herbs to the other party. As for what Horikita did after the uninhabited island exam, he really had no idea.

"Yes, that woman actually started to communicate with others after the exam on the uninhabited island."

Kushida felt a little angry when he thought about this: "She looked down on others before, but after the preferential treatment exam started, her attitude began to change."
