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

"Okay, the commendation meeting has come to an end. Next, we need to consider another matter, which is the question a classmate just mentioned about whether the point halving plan should continue."

The pink-haired girl looked at everyone in the classroom seriously. "Although we have collected the first 20 million, three years is still a long time. Do you think it is better to continue or stop for now?"

After this question was asked, someone quickly raised their hand to express their opinion.

"I agree to continue with this! Because we still know nothing about the future special exams, no one knows what special rules will appear in the end. If we continue with this, everyone will be more secure."

"Yes, we're currently earning over 180,000 points a month. Even if we halve that, it's still plenty, more than enough for everyone to use," Shibata said loudly, quite supportive of the plan. "Besides, the number might continue to increase. So I think we can continue to halve the points. If we save a few more 20 million, we'll be safer."

"That's right. Maybe after our points are halved, we'll even have more than 100,000. Don't you all believe in the abilities of Hashima-san and Ichinose-san?"

There was basically no objection to this topic. After the first semester, everyone in Class A had long been accustomed to handing in half of their personal points every month. Now that they had more and more points left, this was already a very satisfactory result.

After the last round of discussions, the students in the class voted unanimously to continue with the plan of halving the points.

By this time, the first class meeting was drawing to a close. Ichinose Honami looked over at Hoshinomiya Chie next to her, and the young teacher smiled and said, "I'm glad you all finished your discussion. Actually, we have other plans for the next class meeting."

"What's the arrangement?"

"The next class meeting will be a gathering for the entire grade, so everyone should go to the gymnasium to meet the students who will be on the same team as our class in the sports festival."

"I see."

"Then please get ready. As members of Class A, please perform well."

Chapter 236: Ryuuen and Ibuki Compete Against Each Other

When the bell for the second period rang, all the students in Class A gathered in the gymnasium under the leadership of Ichinose Honami and Hashima Hikaru. Because this was an important group meeting, the participants included students from all three grades, a total of nearly 500 people.

Because everyone knows that the upcoming sports festival will divide all classes into two red and white groups, all students in the school need to be familiar with who their future companions will be, and there may be opportunities for cooperation.

After entering the gymnasium, everyone in Class A immediately felt the noisy atmosphere inside. After all, such group gatherings are not common. Apart from the opening ceremony, there are basically no occasions that can gather all students.

Everyone finally felt relieved after finding their seats in Class A, Grade 1. The students were discussing what might happen next, with all sorts of speculations emerging one after another.

But at this moment, a group of students walked in from outside the gymnasium door. They were the students from Class D of the first year.

"Hashima-san, look, the people from Class D are here."

"But why are they divided into two teams? It doesn't seem like they're divided by gender."

"That must be Ryuen-san, right? I really don't want to get along with him the moment I see him."

Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami immediately noticed the D-class students who walked in. Not only that, the boy also discovered another thing among the D-class students who were divided into two groups.

The person leading the queue on the left was Ibuki Mio, followed by Shiina Hiyori, and the tall classmate Yamada Albert was standing at the end of the queue.

As for the other team, it was led by Ryuen Sho. Behind him were naturally the two followers from before, Ishizaki Daichi and Komiya Yego. There were also some other students from Class D who seemed to have become his followers.

"Is this... a confrontation?"

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin. Although he guessed that Ryuen Sho's active actions in the two special exams were to enhance his influence within the class, but looking at it this way, has he already achieved it?

However, this was not a good time to chat, because someone had already walked out from the senior team, heading for the podium at the front of the gymnasium.

"Well, please be quiet for a moment."

As a boy's voice spread throughout the gymnasium through the microphone, all the people who were noisy just now immediately quieted down, and everyone turned their eyes to the podium.

"I'm Fujimaki from Class A, third grade. I'm the commander-in-chief of the Red Team this time."

Isn't it Horikita Manabu?

Hashima Hikaru's eyes were fixed on the third-year high school boy standing there, his expression slightly surprised. After all, the boy had initially thought that Horikita Manabu should be the most responsible person for the entire third grade. He didn't expect that he wouldn't come to this sports festival as the commander?

"I'd like to offer some advice to the first-year students participating in the sports festival for the first time. I hope you'll keep it in mind."

"First, regarding future exams, I'm sure you've all experienced the special exams arranged by the school. Regardless of the experience you gained from them, I hope you understand that no matter what the exam is, only those who emerge victorious will be eligible to enjoy the final benefits. All first-year students, please keep this in mind."

The third-year boy named Fujimaki paused and continued.

"There's only one event that all grades will participate in, and that's the 1,200-meter relay race. The others are all internal competitions, so please gather together and discuss your plans."

"I hope everyone can get along well with each other, after all, there is still a long time to come..."

As soon as he finished his speech, the area where the first graders were located was automatically divided into two areas.

Hikaru Hashima had already seen Katsuragi leading his classmates towards Class C where Hirata was, while on their side, Ryuuen and Ibuki also came over with their classmates.

"Hey, isn't this our big winner, Hashima-san? Long time no see, how was your summer vacation?"

Ryuen Sho, as always, displayed his provocative attitude and said to Hashima Hikaru, who was standing in front of everyone in Class A, "Since you've gained so many points, I think you should be living a comfortable life."

"Thanks to Long Yuan's concern, my summer vacation was very fulfilling."

Hashima Hikaru ignored Ryuen Sho and looked directly at Ibuki Mio who was standing on the other side.

"Ibuki-san, since we will be on the same side in the future sports festival, what kind of cooperation do you think we should have?"

"If it's for the final victory, I think cooperation is fine, but I think it would be difficult to build trust between our two classes," Ibuki Mio replied coldly, crossing her arms.

"How can you say that? Everything depends on human effort. Building trust takes time. After all, there's still over a month until the sports festival starts, right?"

When Hashima Hikaru spoke, Ichinose Honami remained silent. She knew it was best to let the other party do this at this time.

When Ryuen Sho, who was being ignored on the side, saw Hashima Hikaru's attitude, a forced smile immediately appeared on his face.

"I say, are you deliberately ignoring me?"

"Of course not, but since this is a class discussion, it must be conducted among class representatives. I have the permission of Ichinose-san from our class."

Hashima Hikaru chuckled and looked at Ryuen Sho's gloomy face, "I wonder what position Ryuen-san has in speaking to me?"

Hearing this, Ryuen Sho's mouth curled up into a sneer: "I'm afraid it won't be long before I become the new leader of Class D. Then you'll know."

"I see. But since you haven't become a leader yet, could you please keep quiet for now, Ryuuen-san?" Hashima Hikaru pointed to the empty space nearby and said in a cold tone, "I want to talk to Ibuki-san alone."

"you!"

After finally gaining a group of fans, Long Yuanxiang wanted to prove that he had gained a lot of say in the class, but he didn't expect the other party to be so disrespectful.

"Did I say something wrong?" The young man looked at the people behind Ryuen Sho. There were both men and women, but at a glance, there should be fewer people than those behind Ibuki. This was probably the reason why he had not yet completely defeated the other party.

"Hmph, then let's just wait and see. I will definitely trample you under my feet."

After Ryuen Sho gave Hashima Hikaru a gloomy look, he walked out of the gymnasium with his men. Since the other party was ungrateful, he naturally had no intention of staying. Anyway, this man had already formulated his own strategy for how to deal with the sports festival.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it looks like Ibuki-san is in a bad situation."

Mitsuru Hashima looked at the short-haired girl in front of him and could see that there was some gloom between her brows. She must have encountered a lot of resistance in the class.

"That has nothing to do with you. Just say what you want to say!"

"Okay then." Hashima Hikaru's tone was a little playful, and he asked knowingly, "But I'm still a little confused. Can Ibuki really represent everyone in Class D now?"

"..."

Chapter 237 Sakayanagi: Can Hashima-san help me?

In the noisy gymnasium, when Ibuki Mio heard Hashima Hikaru's question, which she knew the answer to, a hint of anger instantly appeared on her pretty face. She glared at someone in front of her fiercely and shouted, "I am the class leader of Class D. Of course I have the full authority to represent everyone's opinions!"

"Indeed, Ibuki-san, don't be angry. I'm just being safe. After all, if our two classes really want to collaborate, we need to build trust first." Hashima Hikaru said with a reassuring smile, "Anyway, our class is very sincere. If Ibuki-san really agrees to cooperate, perhaps we can hold a private discussion to decide on the specific terms of the collaboration."

After hearing the young man propose a private meeting, Ibuki Mio couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, she did think that Hikaru Hashima was a very outstanding person. If he had not led Class A, they would not have achieved their current results. However, ever since she came into contact with him, the girl had not had good memories of him.

Whether it was the initial incident of framing Ryuuen, or being forced to go to her hiding place on the uninhabited island later, these things made Ibuki Mio worry that if she really cooperated with the other party, she might be used by the other party by accident, thus causing losses to the class.

The short-haired girl has now lost some of her support. Although the majority of people still believe in her, if the sports festival fails again, the leader of Class D may really have to be replaced.

There is no chance for Ibuki to make mistakes.

"What's wrong? If you have any questions, Ibuki-san, you can ask them directly. After all, one or two exchanges are definitely not enough to build a trusting relationship."

After seeing the concern in the other party's eyes, Mitsuru Hashima generously told the other party that he could ask any questions he wanted.

"Then let's discuss this in private. However, I hope the representative your class sends will be Ichinose-san, not you."

Ibuki Mio folded her arms again. In her heart, she was more inclined towards Ichinose Honami, knowing that the other person had a gentle personality. If she were to discuss with Hashima Hikaru, she was not sure she would have the upper hand in the conversation.

"Of course, Ichinose-san is the class leader of our class anyway, so I can just be an auditor." Hashima Hikaru shrugged, it didn't matter at all.

"You can't even sit in on the class. This is a private meeting between me, the class leader, and Ichinose-san, so Hashima-san is not allowed to attend."

Ibuki Mio refused to give in. If cooperation could be established, she naturally hoped that Class D could achieve better results in the grade competition. Even if they didn't get first place, they would at least strive for second place to prevent the class evaluation score from being deducted.

"you..."

Just as Hashima Hikaru was at a loss for words, Ichinose Honami, who was standing behind him, stepped between the two of them. The pink-haired girl smiled and said, "Since Ibuki-san thinks so, then we should agree. I also want to catch up with her."

"Then let's make an appointment next time."

Ibuki Mio nodded to Ichinose Honami, then glanced at Hashima Hikaru, whose expression looked a little ugly because of being humiliated. Her mood suddenly became very happy and she left the gymnasium with her classmates.

"Anyway, if we really want to establish a cooperative relationship with Class D, you can let me discuss it with Ibuki-san," Ichinose Honami said gently to the boy, "After all, we can still make preparations before we go."

"No, actually you misunderstood me."

Hashima Hikaru smiled helplessly and explained, "Actually, I had no intention of cooperating with Class D."

"What!?" A look of surprise immediately appeared on Ichinose Honami's beautiful face.

"Yes, even if we don't cooperate, our chances of winning the grade competition are still very high, so I just wanted to gather some information."

Hikaru Hashima spoke calmly to the core members of Class A standing behind him, "As you all saw just now, Class D is becoming somewhat similar to Class B. Both of them are vying for the position of class leader, so there's no unity at all."

"I understand what you mean, Hashima-san. You think that if we cooperate with them, the two factions in Class D might not be able to reach a consensus, and it will eventually affect us, right?"

Ryuji Kanzaki put forward his own analysis. He actually did not agree to cooperate with Class D. After all, he could not really trust them.

"Yes, Ryuen Sho is a rather troublesome man. During the uninhabited island exam, he was willing to hide on the island for seven days in order to regain control of the class. Only by doing so could he successfully carry out his plan."

Hashima Hikaru's expression was very serious. Although Class D was last, they should not be underestimated. It was always better to be prepared for everything.

"And the current situation is the best proof of this. Although he hasn't defeated Ibuki yet, I think that day isn't far off, so we can't let our guard down."

"So what should I say when Ibuki-san and I meet?"

Ichinose stretched out her little hand and patted Hikaru Hashima's back. She was also thinking about the boy's words. Although the two classes AD would become partners in the sports festival, it was still unknown whether they would cooperate.

"It's enough to simply propose some cooperation strategies, but don't be too detailed, because we may not implement these arrangements in the end."

Hashima Hikaru stroked his chin and looked at Kanzaki, Shibata and the others standing beside him. "After all, the most important goal for our class this month is to decide on the competition form, so everyone should take action."

"I understand. I will try to communicate with her."

"Understood. We will carefully select candidates to participate in the recommendation competition at that time."

"Can I recommend myself?" Shibata said with a smile that he wanted to participate in the recommendation competition. This was his dignity as a member of the sports club.

"If you think you are fully capable of doing it, I have no objection."

Hashima Hikaru shrugged. He no longer paid attention to the members of his class, but instead cast his gaze towards the two BC classes gathered next to him.

"This time, they are our opponents." Ichinose Honami stood beside him, staring at Katsuragi Kohei and Hirata Yosuke who were talking.

"But I'm afraid Sakayanagi still won't be participating in the sports festival."

Hikaru Hashima couldn't help but recall his encounter with the silver-haired girl during the summer vacation. She was also a member of the student council, so as the only two first-year students, he and Sakayanagi shared the same desk.

"That should be the case. It seems that Katsuragi-san will still be leading Class B this time."

--

At this time, the students in Class B and Class C did the same thing as Hashima Hikaru and the others, with the class leaders representing them in the conversation.

"Anyway, since we've become partners in battle because of the rules, please take good care of me. I hope we won't argue and can work together to achieve the best results."

"Of course, we think the same way. Please take care of us."

Because both Kōhei Katsuragi and Yosuke Hirata have relatively gentle personalities, there was no disharmony in their communication.

However, while they were talking, the elf-like silver-haired girl was sitting alone on the chair next to them. She lowered her eyes and seemed not to pay attention to the discussion at all. She just held her cane quietly.

Because of her exquisite appearance, Sakayanagi's presence naturally attracted the attention of many classmates. Because she remained silent, it was Katsuragi Kōhei who explained the situation to the girl.

"This is Sakayanagi-san. She's sitting in a chair because of a physical disability. I hope you can understand. She won't be participating in any sports, so don't expect her to help you."

"I see. You've worked really hard, Katsuragi-san."

Hirata Yosuke smiled slightly. He had of course heard that this Sakayanagi-san was the leader of another faction in Class B, but he usually had no chance to communicate with him.

After hearing Katsuragi's introduction, Sakayanagi raised her head and said to everyone with a smile, "Unfortunately, I really can't participate in any competitions, so I can only forfeit the event that all members participate in."
