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

"It's possible that Horikita-san is gathering information. After all, we have to guess the identity of the one who is being treated favorably."

"I think so too, but there are students in our class who have always admired Horikita's intelligence. What if this opportunity allows her to connect with other people and even become friends? What should we do then?"

This is what Kushida is most worried about. If Horikita Suzune always keeps to herself, there will be no problem. But if she really makes friends who she can talk to, then the secret that the short-haired girl is trying so hard to hide will instantly become precarious.

Whether she says it or not, this is a very bad omen.

"I see. I think I understand what Kushida-san is thinking."

Hashima Hikaru nodded. He understood Kushida's concerns. This matter was also the basis for the two to cooperate. Although Horikita Suzune was a person who did not like socializing, the possibility of her growth could not be ruled out.

Therefore, the act of actively interacting with others immediately touched upon Kushida's minefield, which is why she took the initiative to find him.

"So what are you going to do?" Kushida stared straight at the boy's face, hoping he would make a statement.

"Of course I'm helping Kushida-san test Horikita-san's situation. Isn't that what we agreed on?"

Hashima Hikaru smiled, looking at the girl's pretty face, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, Kushida-san. We still have a long way to go in our cooperation. I'll go find out for you."

"...Um."

Looking at the boy's gentle expression, a very clear impulse suddenly emerged in Kushida Kikyo's heart. Without any hesitation, she made another bold move, which was to throw herself directly into the boy's arms.

"Um...what are you doing?"

Suddenly feeling the touch of the girl's body as soft as jade, Hashima Hikaru's expression was a little surprised.

"This is a reward for you, Hashima-san." Kushima Kikyo buried her head in his chest and said sullenly.

“But I haven’t started yet…”

"That's not it," the girl said softly, hugging his waist. "It's a reward for giving me a satisfactory answer."

"...All right."

"Do you hate it?"

"of course not."

Mitsuru Hashima glanced at the prompt that popped up in the system bar and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Your statement makes Kushida Kikyo very happy. She feels closer to you. Kushida Kikyo's stock price has risen by 20 points and is currently at 110.

"Then act for me, Hashima-san."

After hugging for dozens of seconds, Kushida Kikyo let go of her hand and took a step back. She tidied her hair and raised her little face again with a very touching smile.

"of course."

There was also a smile on Hashima Hikaru's face, but there was no reason to explain why his mood had improved. All he could say was that Kushida Kikyo was indeed an easy woman to deal with. This answer had not changed from the beginning to now.

Chapter 204: The Result of Steady Progress 1

After conversing with Kushida, the girl smiled and saw Hashima Hikaru out.

However, just after they walked out of the room, the three students from Class C who had been waiting outside immediately noticed them and walked over together.

"Good afternoon, Kushida-san." Wang Meiyu secretly looked at the handsome classmate Hashima next to Kushida Kikyo, and greeted her with a smile.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Although Kushida Kikyo was a little surprised by the three roommates who suddenly appeared in front of her, the private chat had ended after all, so she was not very nervous now.

So the short-haired girl smiled and began to introduce the boy next to her three companions.

"This is Hashima-san from Class A. Do you know him?"

"Hello everyone."

Hashima Hikaru greeted the three girls gently, his expression as calm as ever.

"Good afternoon, Hashima-san. I'm Inogashira Shin from Class 1-C. I'm a relative of Kushida-chan."

"I'm Wang Meiyu, and I'm also a relative of Kushida-san."

"I'm Maya Sato, and we're both good friends of Kushida-san."

Compared with the other two, Maya Sato seemed bolder. She stared straight at Hikaru Hashima's face. The girl herself was a face-obsessed person. She had finally got this opportunity, so naturally she had to look enough.

"Is Kushida-chan going to act with Hashima-san now?" Wang Meiyu asked her doubts, wanting to find out what the relationship between the two people was.

"No, Hashima-san has other things to do later. I'm just seeing him off." Kushida Kikyo looked at the expressions of the three girls in front of her. With her sharp reaction, she probably guessed what was going on, so she just smiled faintly and said, "I think I'll have to stay in the room later."

"Yes, I'll take my leave then."

Hashima Hikaru checked her watch quite cooperatively, then said gently to Kushida Kikyo, "Goodbye, Kushida-san."

"Well, see you later, Hashima-san."

When the young man's tall figure disappeared at the stairs in front, the three women immediately surrounded Kushida Kikyo.

"What's wrong with everyone?" Although the short-haired girl had a gentle smile on her face, she felt that they were very childish.

"Kushida-chan, please tell the truth quickly. What is your relationship with Hashima-san?" Wang Meiyu touched the girl's shoulder affectionately and asked with a smile.

"Yes, we are very curious."

"Are you and Hashima-san...that kind of relationship?" Sato Maya had an expectant look on her face.

In fact, from the perspective of these three girls, Hashima Hikari and Kushida Kikyo are quite compatible. Not only are they both the talk of the town in their class, but judging from their appearance alone, both of them are extremely outstanding.

"Of course not, don't talk nonsense." Kushida Kikyo pretended to be shy and scolded, "Hashima-san and I are just friends!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Yeah, I just saw that the way Hashima-san looked at you wasn't right. Maybe he... likes you." Wang Meiyu touched her hair and analyzed like a love expert, "How about you, Kushida-chan, go and test him?"

"Yes, I agree!"

The young girls were like sharks that smelled blood when it came to the topic of love, each one more enthusiastic than the other. Originally, Kikyo Kushida was just planning to deal with them casually, but unexpectedly, the conversation became more and more lively.

Do you want me to test Yudao?

Doesn't she know what this guy's attitude is?

Really.

"Hey, stop gossiping. Hashima-san and I are really just friends." Kushima Kikyo raised her voice a few notches, then turned and walked back to the room. The three of them naturally followed her immediately.

"Don't be so stingy. Kushida-chan, can you share with us how you became friends with Hashima-san?"

"Yeah, yeah, I want to be friends with Hashima-san too."

"I voted for Hashima-san, and I want to be friends with him too!"

"..."

-----------

The fourth discussion of the Dragon Team was at eight o'clock in the evening. Before setting off, Hikaru Hashima was still confirming the final details with Ichinose Honami, because the students in Class A of the three groups in this discussion were about to take action. As military advisors providing remote support, they did not create a group, but still chose to chat privately, which was safer.

"In other words, be bold and put forward your own ideas. Wait until you see that your teammates are interested, and then propose the next step."

Hikaru Hashima's supplementary content was very detailed. After all, there were only four groups left. If they could all successfully achieve result one, not only would they gain a large amount of points, but more importantly, they wouldn't have to engage in more complicated struggles. The absence of disputes over class evaluation scores would reduce everyone's stress.

"If anyone mentions the origin of this plan, just say it was my idea."

"I understand."

When it was eight o'clock, Hashima Hikaru sat on the sofa in the Dragon Group's room. This time he still participated in the game activities organized by Kushida Kikyo. After all, in order not to reveal any flaws, it was best to keep everything as usual.

"Hashima-san, it's your turn to speak."

Kushida Kikyo was sitting next to the boy at the moment, and she smiled as she indicated that it was his turn.

"Well, I see."

Hikaru Hashima paused and began to immerse himself in the werewolf game. In the other three rooms, the students from Class A had already started their own battle.

At this moment in the Tiger Group room, Ji Yexue was standing in the middle of the room. She had just explained her views to everyone, so everyone was thinking about whether to accept this proposal.

"What I want to ask is, if there really is someone who has mastered all the rules of preferential treatment, then why doesn't he just answer all the names at once?" The person asking the question was a student from Class A, staring at Ji Ye's face with a serious expression.

"It's simple, because there's more than one person who might have guessed the pattern for selecting the favored candidates," Himeno answered according to Hikaru Hashima's instructions. "Have you forgotten? The Monkey Group finished the exam first, followed by the other groups."

"It's possible that several people guessed the rules, but they might not have been confident enough to answer the full group question, so they only answered part of it."

"That makes sense."

"Yeah, if we keep waiting, the remaining four group exams might be over soon."

"Yes, this is already the fourth time we've discussed this. Even if we can't trust each other, no one wants to end up with nothing after an exam, right?"

Seeing everyone's relaxed tone, Ji Ye felt a hint of joy in her heart, but she still said calmly: "Anyway, I think if we can achieve result one, it will be the best solution."

"I agree with what Himeno-san said. Anyway, there are private points to be gained, so why not take them away?"

"That's right, but how can we prevent everyone from betraying us?" someone raised this question.

"It's very simple, just use a contract."

A boy from Class B stood up immediately, his eyes sweeping over everyone in the room, his tone serious.

"As long as we have a contract as a restriction, we don't have to worry about others betraying us. After all, the consequence of betrayal is expulsion, and even if we get points, it will be useless."

The boy from Class B is named Yusuke Ishida. He actually agreed with Himeno's proposal from the beginning, but what concerned him more was whether this plan was really proposed by this girl named Himeno?

Or is there someone else behind this?

As a member of the Katsuragi faction, that steady man had mentioned Hashima Hikaru's name many times to the members of their faction. Although he showed caution and vigilance, if you think about it from another perspective, this was also a recognition of Hashima's abilities.

"Yeah, I didn't think of that. If we all sign the contract, no one will dare to break it."

"Agree."

"But how do you make a contract? Does anyone have experience with this?"

"The contract isn't complicated to make, you can even write it by hand." Ishida, who had just spoken, glanced at Himeno's expression and then asked, "But before that, I actually have another question for Himeno-san."

"Please tell me, Ishida-san, if I know the answer."

"What I want to ask is, is this plan related to Hashima-san from your class?"

"hehe."

A smile suddenly appeared on Ji Ye's pretty face. After a long while, she calmly said to everyone, "Since you have asked this, I will tell you straight away."

"You guessed right, Ishida-san. This plan was indeed proposed by Hashima-san. After receiving those eight text messages yesterday announcing the end of the exams, he immediately realized that he had to quickly organize a defensive strategy."

"As students of Class B, you should be able to understand what Hashima-san is thinking, right?"

Ji Yexue looked at everyone in the room and slowly explained, "After all, we don't know who is secretly the traitor, so Hashima-san thought that if we can reach a consensus, we can at least get some points, instead of waiting for the traitor to appear and leave everyone empty-handed."

"That's true." Ishida nodded.

"Then let's sign the contract. What do the others think?" Ji Yesue looked at the students from other classes. After the two top classes A and B had expressed their opinions, the students from classes C and D also followed suit. After all, if they could get 500,000 private points, why not do it?

In this way, the Tiger Group's contract was quickly drafted. After everyone signed their names, Ji Yexue said that they could now contact the teacher to come and stamp it, and the contract would officially take effect.

The same thing happened during the discussions of the other two groups. Although they encountered almost the same inquiries and questions, the selected students from Class A performed perfectly. With their flawless performance, the three groups all agreed to answer according to Result 1.

Including the Dragon Group, the remaining four groups have already signed the contract. This special exam will last for two days, and the final result will be announced then.

Who will be the final winner?

Hashima Hikaru looked at the text message notification that popped up on his phone and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 205: Ichinose Honami's Answer

After the fourth discussion of the Dragon Team was over, Hikaru Hashima came alone to the door of a beverage store on the third floor according to the content of the text message he had just received. Waiting for him there was naturally another core member of Class A, Ichinose Honami.

"Hashima-san, you're here."

Although it is nine o'clock in the evening, the brightly lit cruise ship is still as bright as day. The outermost lights will not be turned off until around twelve o'clock in the evening. There are still many students walking around here, enjoying the sea breeze and eating midnight snacks. This is the best way to go on vacation.

"Well, good evening, Ichinose-san."

The two sat down facing each other at the door of the beverage store. Ichinose Honami ordered a drink for Hashima Hikaru, while she herself drank plain water.

After all, girls are keen on losing weight. At this point in time, eating or drinking anything is a sinful thing for them.

"It seems our plan was successful."
