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

A gentle smile appeared on Ichinose Honami's pretty face. She had put a lot of effort into looking for Ibuki Mio today.

Ibuki didn't trust Ichinose at first, and didn't even intend to get along with her in a friendly way, but the pink-haired girl was not discouraged. Instead, she used her experience as a class monitor to build a closer relationship. In addition, Ichinose kept emphasizing that there was something very important to tell her, and finally she succeeded in impressing Ibuki Mio and got the opportunity to have this conversation.

"The plan is to have Ibuki-san call out Ryuen-san and then deliberately force him to attack you. We'll then film him using violence from the side."

Ichinose Honami slowly explained, "As long as we take a video and submit it to the student council for review, Ryuuen-san will definitely be suspended."

"Will this restrict him? It's not like he'll be expelled from school."

Ibuki expressed his incomprehension, saying that this was just a delaying tactic and could not cause any real damage to Ryuuen.

"Of course it's not that simple," Hikaru Hashima interrupted the conversation between the two. "The reason we asked Ryuen to suspend classes is because we have an important matter that requires your Class C's cooperation. However, since we know what he has done, we came up with this plan."

"If Longyuan doesn't suspend classes, we can't trust such people, so naturally we can't move forward with our plan."

"Cooperation, what kind of cooperation?"

After hearing Hashima Hikaru's explanation, Ibuki Mio seemed to be interested, and a thoughtful glint flashed in her eyes.

"That's a story for later. After Ryuuen-san is suspended from school, Ichinose-san and I will personally go to Class C. You'll know then," Hashima Hikaru didn't explain directly, but instead diverted the topic. "I can assure you, Ibuki-san, that you won't suffer any loss in this matter."

"...Humph, God knows what you are up to."

Ibuki Mio didn't comment on Hashima Hikaru's statement, but she really didn't want Ryuuen to become the class leader, so she looked at Ichinose and asked, "Is it okay if I just ask him out?"

"That's right. Although Ibuki-san can beat Ryuuen, we don't want the scene to show you two fighting each other, but rather Ryuuen bullying you unilaterally." Ichinose added: "Ibuki-san just needs to dodge."

"I understand."

Ibuki Mio nodded thoughtfully. Her motor skills were quite developed, so it wouldn't be a big problem if she just dodged.

"Then it's settled. Have you decided on a specific time?"

"Hmm..." Ichinose tilted his head and looked at the boy and asked, "What do you think, Hashima-san?"

"The sooner the better."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the time in the cafe and saw that it was about to close.

"My idea is to execute this plan tomorrow without giving Ryuuen any time to react. Can Ibuki-san do that?"

"No problem. I can ask him out under the pretext of challenging him. Just say that I don't agree with him being the class leader."

"Well, Ibuki, let's exchange contact information. Tomorrow, you should pay attention to the class's movements. Once you find a suitable time, you can talk to him directly." Hashima Hikaru's eyes were burning, and he stared at Ibuki's face seriously and instructed.

The execution of any plan requires timing. If it is delayed for too long, unexpected mistakes may occur.

"I see."

After Ichinose Honami, Hashima Hikaru and Ibuki Mio exchanged contact information, the three of them walked out of the cafe and dispersed.

Bathed in the moonlight, the pink-haired girl looked a little melancholy. Hashima Hikaru certainly knew what she was thinking, so he asked in a low voice.

"Is it because I just asked you to help me lie, Ichinose-san?"

"Yes..." Ichinose's voice was a little muffled, and she sounded like she was worried. "Although I know that Hashima-san is trying to make Ibuki-san trust us, I still feel it's not good."

"Don't think too much. Ichinose-san can change your mindset. We are doing this to reduce the occurrence of violent acts. As long as Ryuuen's behavior is restricted, the students in Class C will not suffer any more harm."

Hashima Hikaru's tone was gentle, trying to stop Ichinose from overthinking things. "If Ichinose-san really feels bad, we can apologize to Ibuki-san together after the plan is completed."

"Wouldn't it be alright to explain it clearly when the time comes?"

After hearing the explanations coming to her ears, Ichinose Honami was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised her head and looked into Hashima Hikaru's ink-black eyes and spoke softly.

"Hashima-san, will you lie to me again in the future?"

"..."

Chapter 24: Intertwined Moods

After finishing the planned meeting with Ibuki, Hashima Hikaru returned to the dormitory. He sat at the table and couldn't help but recall the scene that had just happened in his mind.

Ichinose Honami stared at the boy's face with her azure eyes, asking him if he would lie to her. Although Hashima Hikaru was surprised by the sudden question, he responded quickly.

"Of course not. Ichinose-san and I will always be close comrades in the future. I won't lie to you."

"But even if Hashima-san lies, he can do it without revealing any flaws."

"Ichinose-san, you're overthinking it. I'm only doing this because of class competition."

"But I suddenly have a feeling that if Hashima-san really lies to me one day," Ichinose Honami said, looking at the boy pretending to be relaxed, with a strange tone, "I won't be able to tell the difference either."

"..."

"This is all your illusion. If it weren't for Class B, I wouldn't lie. Ichinose-san can understand this as a tactic."

"Okay, I'll take you back to the dormitory first. Don't think too much."

"Ah."

Although the girl nodded, there was still something wrong on her face. Hashima Hikaru did not continue to explain, but urged Ichinose to go to the elevator.

"Something doesn't feel right. Did I say something wrong?"

Hashima Hikaru recalled some of the things he did today, and for some reason it suddenly caused a reaction from Ichinose. He remembered that the risk warning of [Ichinose Honami Stock] did mention that lying to her would lower the stock price.

"But I didn't lie to her, there's no doubt about that."

The boy opened the system's [Stock Interface] and saw that the share price of [Ichinose Honami Stock] was still 120, which meant that today's incident had not affected Ichinose's opinion of Hashima.

And if Ichinose Honami was really the kind of person who never wanted to lie, she wouldn't have covered up for herself just now. When it comes to class competition, the girl is not the kind of person who sticks to her own opinion.

"Could it be...is she testing my attitude?"

He couldn't help but think of the reminder message when the stock price increased: "Ichinose Honami was deeply moved by your 20 million point plan, and has developed new feelings for you."

After obtaining the system, Mitsuru Hashima has always been clear about his own positioning. Everything he does now is to ensure that he can eventually graduate from this school successfully.

Of course the boy doesn't dislike Ichinose. In terms of appearance and figure, she is a top-notch beauty with a gentle personality. She also thinks about others wholeheartedly. If he could date her, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

But now there are so many things that Hashima Hikaru wants to do. Not only does he have to think about how to better help Class B move up, he also has to train his body, dig up more stocks and use the power of the system to transform himself, so as not to let this second life down.

When the system first came into being, he had originally planned to cash out and run away directly after the stock price rose, and then wait for the stock price to fall to escape the Shura Field.

After using the [Stock Analyzer], the boy knew very well that if he really wanted to make the price of a certain stock fall, he had to do something to make the other party sad.

In this school without class divisions, Hashima Hikaru will definitely spend a lot of time with Ichinose Honami in the future. If they really develop feelings beyond friendship in the process, can he really deliberately make the other person angry in order to lower the stock price?

the answer is negative.

Hashima Hikaru's own attitude towards love is very clear. If she likes someone, she likes him; if she doesn't like someone, she doesn't like him. If he really falls in love with Ichinose Honami in the future, he will never do anything to hurt her. This is the bottom line as a man.

But on second thought, it is too early to say these things now. The boy's current focus must be on class competition and obtaining more system funds, which does not allow him to have more time to fall in love.

"Let's stop here. It's fine to be friends at this stage."

Hikaru Hashima summarized his review of the day, then shook his head to put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and continued to think about the subsequent class competition plan, which was what he should worry about more now.

The next morning, after finishing the morning exercises that had become a daily task, Hikaru Hashima walked into the Class B classroom with breakfast. The students in Class B still greeted the boy enthusiastically.

"Good morning, Hashima-san!"

"Good morning, Hashima-san."

"Well, good morning, everyone."

After Hashima Hikaru sat down, he found that Ichinose Honami had already arrived. The girl was writing something in her notebook with her head down.

"Good morning, Ichinose-san." Hashima Hikaru decided to be the first to greet.

"Well, good morning, Hashima-san."

The pink-haired girl still had a vibrant smile on her face. After greeting Hashima, she immediately said, "I'm recording the information everyone has collected about Class C and Class D over the past two days. Hashima-san will be able to use it directly on Friday."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ichinose-san. Actually, I can do all these things."

"It's not hard at all. Hashima-san has been working on plans for the class these past two days, so he must be more exhausted than me," Ichinose Honami said softly, a look of concern on her face. "Even though I'm the class leader of Class B, I've been relying on Hashima-san."

"Well, since Ichinose-san is so enthusiastic, I'll just take a break openly."

Both of them tacitly did not mention the conversation last night, as if it had never happened. Today, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami are still the class leaders working hard for Class B.

As for what exactly changed after that conversation, perhaps only they know deep in their hearts.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Hashima Hikaru, who was trying hard to solve a problem, was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Ichinose next to him. He turned around and found that the other person handed him a mobile phone.

"Ibuki said he's already made an appointment with Ryuuen to meet on the second floor of the Special Education Building at 4:30."

"Second floor? I see."

Hashima pressed his eye sockets which were a little tired from solving the problems seriously. He remembered that there were many special classrooms on the second floor. If he wanted to go there to take secret photos, he would need to get the key of a classroom.

"Are we going just the two of us? Or should we call a few more classmates?" Ichinose Honami asked.

"Hmm... Let's call Kanzaki-san and Shibata-san. The other girls don't have to go."

"Ok."

"Or, Ichinose-san shouldn't go either," Hashima Hikaru said tentatively. "After all, we're trying to trick Ryuen-san into hitting someone. We can't predict what he'll actually do, so it could be dangerous."

"That's not okay."

The gentle Ichinose Honami immediately rejected Hashima Hikaru's proposal, her expression firm. "Since Hashima-san and I planned this, I must be there to confirm the outcome."

"Even if Ryuuen-san really doesn't care, isn't Ibuki-san still here? I believe she can subdue him."

Seeing that Ichinose had no intention of giving in, Hashima Hikaru could only nod helplessly, hoping that the plan could be implemented smoothly.

Before the school bell rang, Hashima Hikaru visited Hoshinomiya Chie again during the break and borrowed the key to a science classroom from her, then told Ibuki the specific location.

After confirming the information with her, Hashima called Kanzaki Ryuji and Shibata Sa over and explained the arrangements for the future.

"I understand," Shibata said, rubbing his hands together, as if he was very excited to carry out this plan. "We'll ambush nearby and secretly film evidence of Ryuen's actions."

"But I understand Hashima-san's concerns. After all, Ryuuen is a dangerous man. If he does anything too extreme, I will stop him."

Kanzaki Ryuji looked quite confident, causing Shibata beside him to immediately clap his hands and laugh. "Hashima-san and Ichinose-san, you might not know this, but this guy is actually quite good at fighting."

"Ok?"

Ichinose Honami and Hashima Hikaru next to them immediately locked their eyes on Kanzaki. The boy with purple hair faced everyone's gaze and just nodded slightly to show that he was really fine.

"I see. Then Kanzaki-san is one of our ambushes."

"Then let's go. Let's start our plan against Longyuan now!"

Chapter 25: The Cunning Dragon Garden

When the class B group walked out of the classroom, their destination was the address Ibuki had sent them, specifically the corridor on the second floor of the teaching building.

This is a very secluded place. Because the special teaching building has many dedicated classrooms, basically no one will come here when there are no classes scheduled, making it very suitable for hiding.

The four of them arrived here earlier than Ibuki and Ryuuen had agreed. They needed to come here in advance to scout the location and ambush the camera.

The science classroom where Hashima Hikaru got the key was located on the left side of the corridor near the stairs. After successfully opening the door, he asked everyone to go in quickly.

After trying several times at the door, the boy finally chose the right angle for the photo with his phone. He then left the door ajar, holding his phone and waiting for Ibuki and Ryuuen to arrive.

"They should be here soon. Ibuki-san's agreed time is half past four, which leaves six minutes."

In the science classroom, Ichinose Honami glanced at her phone and told everyone the time. After she said this, the four of them couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, such a thing would never have happened in their previous study career.

"Da da da."

The sound of footsteps on the stairs reached everyone's ears, and then everyone saw a slender girl's figure on the screen of Hashima Hikaru's mobile phone. It was Ibuki Mio from Class C.

Following behind was a man with a stern face. He was not dressed like an ordinary student at all. Not only did he have long hair, but his school uniform was also casually open. There was a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he looked down on everyone.

"Ryuen, this is the place I chose for you. Today we will decide the winner."

Ibuki Mio followed her plan and began to provoke the man opposite her, her tone very arrogant: "Don't you want to be the class leader of Class C? If you beat me today, you can do it!"

"Heh, although I don't know what you're thinking, but since you've said it, I'll just assume that what you said is true."

The man named Ryuen Sho slowly rolled up his sleeves, and the fierceness on his face became more and more intense.

"I've said it before, I won't hold back on women. If you surrender now, I can accept you as my subordinate."

"You're dreaming. Don't forget that you were defeated by me last time!" A mocking look appeared on Ibuki's pretty face. "You say you won't hold back on women, but it seems I was the one who held back last time."

"Bastard!"

Flames of anger quickly rose on Ryuen's face. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hands at an extremely fast speed and pounced on Ibuki opposite him.
