After gently clinking his glass with the other person's, Hashima Hikaru took a sip of the drink in the cup with a comfortable smile on his face.

"Yes, Himeno and the others just confirmed with me that all three groups have signed the contract. So, by the time we answer the questions the night after tomorrow, the Dragon Group, including Hashima-san, will have reached a conclusion."

"Have you counted the number of people?"

Hikaru Hashima opened the group list recorded in the memo of his mobile phone. Since the exams of eight groups had been completed before, except for the monkey group answered by Kouenji, the benefits of the remaining seven groups were already certain.

Normally, Class A's first wave of gains should be an increase of 350 class points and 350 million personal points. The remaining four groups will definitely answer according to Result .

"Are you talking about the number of people from Class A in the remaining four groups?" Ichinose Honami counted the information on the list and immediately replied, "Including Hashima-san, there are twelve people in total."

"So, after the final exam, each Class A member of our four groups will receive 50 personal points, and the three favored students will receive 100 million, so the total is 750 million."

"So we can get a total of about 10 million points in the end?"

After figuring out this specific number, the pink-haired girl's delicate face suddenly flushed with excitement. After all, after the accumulation of the first semester, the private points collected by Ichinose Honami have exceeded 10 million. If this amount is added, 20 million is basically complete.

"That's right. Although we don't know when these points will be distributed, if our predictions are correct, our class will have accumulated the first 20 million by the beginning of the second semester."

Hikaru Hashima was also very happy. This was the first goal he achieved after making the plan. It was not only an explanation to everyone, but also a reassurance to his classmates. With 20 million points, even if someone encountered the crisis of being expelled, they could get through it in the end.

"Should we tell everyone this information?" Ichinose was in high spirits, but still wanted to ask Hashima Hikaru's opinion first.

"Don't worry, I'll tell everyone after the results are announced."

The young man shook his head slightly and decided to just endure these two days first. Only after going through the period of waiting could the happiness gained in the end be the most satisfying.

"Well, let's do it."

Hashima Hikaru took a sip of the drink in the cup. He actually didn't expect that the plan for the second special exam would go so smoothly. When he first got the list of three favored students in his class, the boy was not 100% sure. It was not until Kushida Kikyo took the initiative to propose cooperation that it promoted a series of subsequent plans.

If the class evaluation scores obtained from these two special exams were added to Class A's scores before the summer vacation, it would probably be close to two thousand. This is enough to widen the gap with the following classes. As long as there are no major accidents, the future situation will be quite stable.

"Hashima-san, let's go for a walk in the hallway."

After seeing that Hashima Hikaru finished the drink in her cup, Ichinose Honami took the initiative to invite the other party to join her, and the boy naturally agreed happily.

The two walked side by side in the corridor on the third floor, feeling the cool sea breeze blowing across their bodies. Hashima Hikaru's mood became more relaxed. After the exam was over, they should be able to have a good rest.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt the girl holding his hand and her shoulder touching his body.

"Hikari." Ichinose called out the other person's name softly.

Mitsuru Hashima glanced at the surroundings and found that there were not many people around. No wonder the pink-haired girl dared to launch a surprise attack here.

"I am here."

The boy and the girl stood shoulder to shoulder behind the fence, gazing at the distant sea level. Although the atmosphere was peaceful, an inexplicable emotion began to spread around them.

"Can Guang guess what I'm thinking now?"

Ichinose Honami didn't look at Hashima Hikaru's face, but stared into the distance in a daze.

"I can probably guess a little bit, but there might be some deviation."

Having experienced so much with each other, Hashima Hikaru naturally knew what she was thinking at the moment. However, after experiencing what happened with Sakura Airi, he was now not sure of his own feelings.

Whether it's Ichinose Honami or Sakura Airi, it's completely impossible to say that they don't care.

This kind of mood made it impossible for him to make a good choice. Moreover, with the existence of the system, abandoning the forest for the trees was a short-sighted idea, which was not in line with his usual thinking style.

If you don't think of a suitable way to deal with it, procrastination may not solve the problem, but it can reduce the risk.

"Hehehe, it seems that not only do I understand Guang, but Guang also understands me."

The girl's voice was tinged with sweetness and innocence, an expression that Ichinose Honami would only reveal in front of Hashima Hikaru. She was unique.

"That's true, so Fanba can feel my mood?" Hashima Hikaru held her little hand. Although his tone was calm, his inner emotions were complicated.

"Hmm... Let me think about it..."

Ichinose Honami squeezed the other person's hand tightly and began to assess the person's expression.

The girl, who is also very good at observing people's words and expressions, could actually feel Hashima Hikaru's hesitation all the time, but she couldn't figure out the specific reason.

He must care about her, Ichinose Honami can guarantee this, because when they hug each other, the warmth conveyed by their bodies cannot be mistaken.

But why can't you just accept yourself like this?

If we become lovers, we can stick together more closely.

Ichinose Honami stared at Hashima Hikaru's calm eyes for a long moment. After a while, she seemed to realize something and asked tentatively, "Hikaru doesn't want to accept me because he has someone else in mind?"

"..."

Hashima Hikaru was silent for a moment, and did not choose to answer the question directly. Instead, he shook his head and said calmly, "Compared to this, I care more about Fan Bo's own thoughts."

"my thoughts?"

"If one day you find out that I'm not that good, or that I have some ideas that you can't accept, will Fanbo still insist on your idea?"

"I can..."

"Don't rush to answer me, this matter is very important."

Hashima Hikaru stared at the girl's pretty face and spoke slowly, "Because the problem now is that I can't even confirm my own feelings, I want you to think about the answer to this question."

"What if my answer is to persist?" Ichinose Honami refused to give in.

"If that's the case," the boy smiled, his tone extremely gentle, "I might tell you my true thoughts."

"Isn't that a lie?"

"It's not a lie."

"In that case..." Ichinose Honami's beautiful eyes gleamed with confidence, "Let's wait until the exam is over. I'll answer Hikaru's question then."

"can."

"By then, Guang will have no way out."

"Ah."

Chapter 206: Kushida Kikyo: I am the one who gets preferential treatment

After sending Ichinose Honami back to her room, Hashima Hikaru walked to the balcony of her suite alone.

"The situation is really a bit troublesome..."

The boy opened the system panel. Among the stocks he had currently purchased, Ichinose Honami and Sakura Airi were the two with the highest prices, at 200 and 240 respectively. Precisely because the prices were too high, their behavior was now becoming unpredictable.

In the process of using the system, Hashima Hikaru's connection with them inevitably becomes deeper and deeper. It's not that he feels any resistance, but he doesn't know how to make a choice.

Although the experiment of lowering the stock price was successfully carried out before, it was precisely because Kikyo Kushida's situation was rather special, and in the end nothing too troublesome occurred, and everything was within the controllable range.

But now the boy doesn't know how to deal with emotional problems. At the beginning, Hikari Uehara's idea of ​​love was to find a suitable person to accompany him for life, but now facing this situation, this plan has changed quietly.

What are you hesitating about? Can't I have them all?

A new idea flashed through Hashima Hikaru's mind. He touched his forehead with a complicated expression.

"..."

After several minutes, the answer still didn't come out of my mind.

"Forget it, don't dwell on it, just let it go. You can't let down someone who's sincere to you. This goes for everyone."

The boy finally decided to listen to his inner answer. After Ichinose Honami expressed her opinion, he would make his own decision.

The following time passed quite quickly, because the remaining four groups had already signed the contract, so everyone was just killing time during the discussion.

When Hashima Hikaru was in the Dragon Group, he basically played card games with his classmates. From time to time, he would observe the movements of the black-haired girl sitting in the distance. After signing the contract, Horikita Suzune always kept a distance from the people in the room, as if she was in another world.

[Has this guy really changed? I can't tell at all.]

The boy silently averted his gaze, and then was gently bumped on the shoulder by Kushida Kikyo beside him. The girl asked with a smile, "What are you looking at, Hashima-san?"

"I was just clearing my mind and thinking, I didn't read anything."

Hashima Hikaru shook his head slightly. After he and Kushida Kikyo looked at each other, they both knew what was going on.

Since he had already promised the other party, it would take a day or two for the cruise ship to return to school after the exams, so the boy had to find time to talk to Horikita Suzune.

"Can we win this time?" the short-haired girl asked again.

"I'm not sure, but I think there's hope."

Hikaru Hashima drew a card from the deck, a smile playing on his lips: "I believe the dealer is looking after me."

---------

When the time came for the last discussion before the end of the exam, the originally leisurely atmosphere disappeared in an instant. After entering the room, Hashima Hikaru could feel that everyone's expressions were a little solemn.

After all, today the beneficiaries of the Dragon Group will have to come forward and announce their identities, and then everyone will wait until half past nine to answer the questions together.

"The atmosphere is indeed a bit tense."

In the following discussions, Kikyo Kushida sat next to Hikaru Hashima on the sofa, so they could communicate with each other in a low voice.

"Because you need to answer it today, it's normal to be nervous." Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, then lowered his voice and leaned close to Kushida Kikyo and said, "Kushida-san, are you nervous?"

“A little bit…”

Actually, she was not nervous, but she said that on purpose.

"so what should I do now?"

"Hashima-san, do you want to help me?" The girl raised her little face and approached Hashima Hikaru in a very intimate manner.

"Then tell me, if I can do it."

"Hold my hand."

"..."

"Don't you want to?"

Kushida Kikyo stretched out her little hand in front of Hashima Hikaru, with a bright smile in her eyes.

The proactive hug that day actually changed some things. The short-haired girl now trusts Hikaru Hashima very much.

After knowing that her body did not reject close contact with him, Kushida felt that she would become strange sometimes, especially when she was in close contact with the boy, she would always subconsciously want to have physical contact.

"of course not."

It was just holding hands, not something too troublesome, so Hashima Hikaru quickly agreed.

He held the girl's hand. The soft and delicate skin felt quite nice to the touch, but Kushida's palms were actually sweating. He didn't know if it was due to nervousness.

"Hehehe, this is the second reward I give you."

After Kushida Kikyo and Hashima Hikaru held hands, a faint blush seemed to appear on her pretty face. She took the initiative to ask, "How do you feel?"

"generally."

Hashima Hikaru squeezed her little hand and gave a very fair evaluation.

So far, he has held hands with three girls in total. If we really have to compare who has the best touch, it would have to be Ichinose Honami.

"you..."

Kikyo Kushida looked at someone with a calm expression and instantly became angry, but she still didn't really get angry. She just pinched Hashima Hikaru's hand several times viciously.

But to be honest, the force was really small, and the boy didn't even frown.

"Anyway, Kushida-san, you should organize your words in advance. You'll be showing off soon," Hashima Hikaru said in a low voice. "If you get stuck, it might be embarrassing."

"You don't have to tell me!"

Kushida Kikyo gave him an unpleasant look, then sat obediently beside him and began to think about how to express her identity in the most concise language.

Although everyone was very quiet during the last discussion, the interaction between the two was still seen by many people, such as Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke from Class C, and Ryuen Sho.

The black-haired girl had actually guessed a long time ago that the private relationship between Hashima Hikaru and Kushida was definitely not simple, because she observed that Kushida's expression was very unusual when he mentioned the other person's name. If he was not familiar with her, he would not show that expression.

Moreover, when Hashima Hikaru first sent her a message, he mentioned Kushida Kikyo's name. Perhaps they knew each other for a long time.

However, the most important thing for her at the moment is to get excellent results in a special exam and prove her growth to her brother. As for the private relationship between Hashima Hikari and Kushida Kikyo, Horikita Suzune doesn't think it matters.

Anyway, she won't be the one who's worried at that time.

As for Yosuke Hirata, he was actually a little surprised when he noticed how close the two were.

Because he knew that although Kikyo Kushida was a sociable person in Class C who could chat with everyone, the only people who could have physical contact with her were the girls she played with, and boys would never have this opportunity.

But now, not far away, that Hashima-san was not only walking shoulder to shoulder with the short-haired girl, but was even holding her hand, while Kushida's expression was quite calm, as if it was always like this.
