He recalled the time he spent with Kushida Kikyo today, the qualities and keen observation skills that she had demonstrated, as well as her social skills that allowed her to quickly close the distance with strangers. These qualities combined confirmed that she was definitely an outstanding talent.

But such a person as Kushida was assigned to Class D by the school, which can only mean one thing.

Her past was already known by the school, and even though the school knew that her overall quality was not low, they still assigned her to Class D.

"Perhaps this was a very complicated past, which led to the school making this decision."

The boy smacked his lips. He had thought that the newly listed stock would be a simple girl like Ichinose Honami who could easily increase the stock price, but he didn't expect to know so many things after getting in touch with her.

What hidden true face? Why did you want to force your classmates to drop out of school? We are all teenagers, why do you carry so much of the past?

"Forget it. There's always a way out. We'll know once we get to Class D."

Hikaru Hashima looked at the newly launched [Kushida Kikyo Stock] on the system interface. Her initial share price was 10 points. As long as it was increased a little, he could make a lot of money. The boy thought that if he found out that Kushida was really a trouble in his subsequent contact with her, the worst that could happen was that he would just cash out and run away.

After a while, he suddenly thought of another idea.

As for Ichinose Honami, Hashima Hikaru has always been her partner in battle, and the boy has some feelings for her, so she is unwilling to do anything to lower the stock price. But now that this Kushida-san has appeared, he can give it a bold try.

【Kushida Balloon Stock】

[Stock price increase suggestion: Build a trusting relationship, help her hide her past, and have Horikita Suzune drop out of school.]

[Stock price reduction risk: Frequently interact with Horikita Suzune and become her companion or friend.]

"If I raise her stock price first, and then approach Horikita Suzune in front of her, will that lower it?"

Hashima Hikaru leaned back in his chair and touched his chin. He had to admit that this idea instantly made him excited. If the experiment was successful, Kushida Kikyo would be a qualified system fund withdrawal machine, and would definitely produce a lot of gold coins.

"I hope you won't let me down. See you on Monday, Kushida-san."

A light smile appeared on the boy's face. After the analysis, he was more looking forward to the day when he would go to Class D.

---------

After the comfortable weekend ended, time quickly came to the second week after school started. During the vacation, Hikaru Hashima stayed in the dormitory. Apart from chatting with classmates in Class B on his mobile phone, he didn't want to go out unless there was something important.

After finishing his daily one-hour exercise as usual in the morning, Hikaru Hashima walked into the classroom of Class 1-B. He saw Ichinose Honami sitting at her seat at a glance. The girl still had a lively smile on her face today, which made people feel better just by looking at her.

"Good morning, Hashima-san!"

"Good morning, Ichinose-san," Hikaru Hashima walked to his seat and sat down, then turned to the girl and said, "Let's go to Mr. Hoshinomiya's office first to print out the contract, and then go to Class D to sell the rules before school is over this afternoon."

"Yeah, I've prepared new handwriting rules."

Ichinose nodded and took out a brown notebook from her schoolbag. This was the task she took on yesterday. After all, it was Hikaru Hashima who wrote the rules sold to Class A last time, so this time she had the responsibility.

"Before we go to Class D, should we send a message to Kushida-san first?" Ichinose asked Hikaru Hashima's opinion on her phone. "Tell her to ask the students in Class D to stay for a while after school and tell them that she has something to announce."

"Did Ichinose-san also interact with Kushida-san on Sunday?"

"Yes, I plan to build a good relationship with Kushida-san. After all, she is the assistant of Hirata-san, the leader of Class D, and she has a lot of influence in the class."

Ichinose Honami, with a confident look on her face, said easily, "Yesterday I learned some more information from Kushida-san. Would you like to hear it, Hashima-san?"

"Oh?"

Seeing that the girl has now started to take the initiative, Hashima Hikaru is somewhat relieved. It seems that after that tearful incident, Ichinose Honami has really grown a lot. She even took action without telling him, which is really great.

"Then please tell me, Ichinose-san. I'm ready."

"Hehehe," the pink-haired girl stared at Hikari Hashima beside her, a serious glint in her eyes, "Yesterday when we were talking about studying, I heard from Kushida-san that there are many students in their class who are very good at studying."

"What exactly is it like? Is the total score of the subject high?"

"Kushida said that sometimes the teacher would ask difficult questions that no one could answer immediately, but one student would be able to answer immediately, which impressed her."

"who is it?"

Hashima Hikaru suddenly thought of something and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Kushida-san said her name is Horikita Suzune, and she's a very beautiful girl."

"..."

Is it really her?

The young boy reached out and pressed his brow, feeling confused about Kushida's attitude. Since she wanted her to drop out of school, why did she mention her name to others? Did they have a good relationship or a bad one?

"Does Hashima-san know this Horikita-san?" Ichinose Honami, who was standing by, saw the boy's face showing an expression of "as expected" and her heart tightened, so she asked quickly.

"No, I don't know her. Why are you asking that, Ichinose-san?"

Suddenly sensing a change in the atmosphere, Hikaru Hashima immediately explained that he really didn't know the other person and they had only met once.

"That's good. I thought Hashima-san was hiding something from me."

"Hehe... no way..."

Chapter 42: Class D's Group Drama, Part 1

When the bell rang, the students in Class B all became serious. Since last week, under the guidance of Mitsuru Hashima, everyone has become accustomed to concentrating on studying, so the class time always passes very quickly.

It was soon time to go home from school on Monday. Everyone knew that Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami would go to Class D to sell the rules today, so after the teacher left, the classmates gathered around.

"Hashima-san, are you guys leaving?"

"Yes, we are about to head to Class D. This is the second step in our point recovery plan."

The boy smiled and took out the contract documents he had printed out at noon from his desk. There were forty copies in total, the same as those for Class A. He would have everyone in Class D sign them later.

"Come on, Hashima-san! We're waiting for good news from you!"

"I believe that Hashima-san will succeed. Your abilities are evident to all."

"Good luck to you, Ichinose-san. I hope you can successfully complete the point collection."

"Yeah, everyone, please don't worry."

Ichinose Honami nodded to everyone in Class B. Time waits for no one. She had already sent a message to Kushida, and they had to go there as soon as possible.

"Let's go, Hashima-san."

"Ok."

The two of them took the notebook with the rules and a stack of contracts, and walked towards the D class classroom under the gaze of the B class students.

As the last class, Class D's classroom is some distance away from Class B. Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose walk side by side, becoming a scenic spot in the corridor at this time when school is over.

When they reached the door of Class D, Ichinose was a little nervous, but Hashima Hikaru didn't care. He encouraged the girl beside him with his eyes and walked into the classroom with her.

Since they had contacted Kikyo Kushida in advance, the students in Class D did not leave at this moment. Instead, they sat in their seats looking around impatiently. After seeing two figures coming in through the door, they all looked over.

"Good afternoon, everyone in Class D! I'm Hikaru Hashima from Class B, Grade 1."

Mitsuru Hashima greeted the classmates in the classroom with a smile. He looked very relaxed. After all, they were all first-year classmates, so how could anyone do anything to him?

"Hashima-san, you're here."

At this time, when Kushida Kikyo saw Ichinose Honami and Hashima Hikaru walking in, she immediately greeted them with a smile on her face.

"Well, good afternoon, Kushida-san."

Ichinose nodded at her, then walked over and stood next to Hashima Hikaru.

At this time, a handsome boy walked out towards the two of them. He looked at the boy and girl in front of him and asked gently, "Good afternoon, students. I'm Hirata Yosuke from Class D. Kushida-san just asked us to wait for a while after school. So he was waiting for you?"

"Yes, Hirata-san."

Hashima Hikaru nodded at the other person. It must be said that this guy is quite handsome, with a gentle demeanor and an aura of confidence. No wonder he is so popular with girls.

"Could we spare Class D a moment? We have something to discuss, so we asked Kushida-san to let everyone stay."

"I heard from Kushida-san that you have something important to tell us, right? The timing is fine, I trust Kushida-san's judgment."

The boy named Hirata seemed easy to talk to. After listening to what Hashima Hikaru said, he immediately turned around and said to the students in Class D, "Everyone, please look here. These two are Kushida-san's friends. They have something to tell us."

"Is there something we must talk about now? I have club activities, don't make me late!"

A boy with red hair sat in his seat and spoke in a harsh tone.

After he finished speaking, two more boys followed him in the conversation.

"Yeah, I'm rushing back to the dorm. I have something important to do."

"Can you guys speak faster? Is three minutes enough?"

"Hey, Yamauchi, you are in a hurry to get back to the dormitory to play games, right? It's okay if you're delayed for a while." Someone jokingly complained, and it seemed that he had a good relationship with the boy who spoke.

"You know what? Time is money. I must seize every opportunity to get materials so that I can improve my combat effectiveness."

Seeing the boys suddenly start gossiping loudly, a look of embarrassment appeared on Ichinose Honami's pink face. She didn't expect the classmates in Class D to be so cooperative. She looked at the boy next to her with worry in her eyes.

But what surprised her was that even though the students in Class D had a bad attitude, Hashima Hikaru still had a smile on her face, as if she didn't care at all.

"Um, could everyone please be quiet for a moment? It won't take much time, please trust me."

Hirata displayed his class leader's aura at this moment. He glanced at Hashima Hikaru, who looked calm, and said to the boys who were making noises below, "Please stop making noises."

After hearing Hirata's speech, the students in Class D calmed down a little. After all, they had a good relationship with Hirata.

"Hirata-san is amazing, he's truly the class leader."

Hashima Hikaru gave a casual compliment and walked up to the podium to prepare his speech.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Maybe some of you were distracted or didn't even notice me coming in, so I'd better introduce myself again."

"My name is Hikaru Hashima, and I'm a student in Class 1B. It's our first meeting, so please take care of me."

"If you have something to say, just say it. I'm not interested in your name! Don't waste my time!"

The one who spoke was still the red-haired boy who looked very impatient. He was tall and had an aura that made him look like someone who was not to be messed with.

"Don't worry, classmate. I'm going to tell you right away."

Hashima Hikaru was not angry at his bad attitude. After all, he came here to collect points. Since Class D was considered the worst class by the school, the boy naturally had no interest in building friendships with these people. It didn't matter what happened to those who didn't care.

"What I want to tell everyone in Class D has to do with what makes this school so special."

Hikaru Hashima naturally picked up the chalk left by the teacher on the podium, turned around and wrote these words on the blackboard. Then he looked at everyone in Class D and said, "It's been a week since school started. Doesn't anyone notice anything unusual in the school?"

Before coming to Class D, the boy had conceived a strategy for implementing this plan.

Class D is different from the excellent Class A. If you simply show them the contract, they may not believe it and may even leave, which will make the situation more complicated.

Therefore, Yudao planned to use some obvious questions to attract their attention first, then take out the contract, and finally conduct a transaction based on the rules.

"abnormal?"

Hirata and Kushida, who were standing nearby, looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that this was what Hashima Hikaru was going to say.

"What abnormality are you talking about? Why didn't I notice it?"

The boy who had spoken earlier had a look of disdain on his face, thinking that the classmate in front of him who looked like a pretty boy was trying to be mysterious.

"Yamauchi-san, please be quiet for a moment and let Hashima-san continue speaking." Hirata immediately looked over and signaled the other party to shut up.

"cut!"

The boy named Yamauchi Haruki muttered something, but did not argue any further.

"Haha, you have all lived here for a week, so you should have noticed some unusual settings in the school," Hashima Mitsuru said leisurely, his eyes sweeping over everyone.

"For example, why are there free products in supermarkets? And why are there vegetable sets in the cafeteria that you can eat for free?"

"Think about it, everyone. If the school gives out points every month, why does it even have to offer a free guaranteed option?" the young man said with a smile. "Isn't that redundant?"

"Hashima-san, did you find anything?"

Hirata thought for a while and then asked.

"Don't worry, Hirata-san. Let's all think about it for a while. After all, what we are going to do requires the cooperation of all of you."

Hashima Hikaru looked gently at Ichinose next to her, signaling her to give him the stack of contracts in her hand.

"I'll continue talking after everyone has reacted. This is the best way to persuade them."

"But..."

Kushida Kikyo was thinking rapidly in her mind. She didn't know what Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose were planning to do right now, but she quickly thought of the situations in which she had come into contact with the two of them on Saturday and Sunday.

Are you trying to get information from me?

Is it just for this scene today?

"What you mean is that some people will have no points to use in the future, right?"
