Mitsuru Hashima glanced at the situation in the dormitory, then lowered his voice and told Ryuji Kanzaki a very important task. As for why he had to make such arrangements in advance, it was because he might be very busy tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

After all, this one and a half day break is very important. Apart from the girls he has entanglements with, Hashima Hikaru also has to discuss some more important matters with Horikita Manabu.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do it tomorrow."

After listening to Hashima Hikaru's instructions, Kanzaki Ryuji nodded seriously, his expression solemn: "Please rest assured, Hashima-san."

"I believe in Kanzaki-san's ability, but please keep this matter a secret from others. I don't want anyone else to know before the final result comes out, even our own classmates."

"I see."

Kanzaki Ryuji suddenly smiled, his tone relaxed: "It's really exciting to be able to participate in Hashima-san's plan."

"I did all this so that our class could achieve the final victory. Please pay attention."

"Ah."

After giving the instructions, Mitsuru Hashima stretched and walked slowly into the dormitory.

……

The third day of forest school, early Saturday morning.

Because we had experienced the "wake-up" effect of the indoor alarm clock yesterday, when the cheerful music sounded again today, everyone's reaction was relatively calm. They just muttered a few words and then got up.

After everyone had tidied their appearance, Hashima Hikaru took them to their first stop in the morning, the meditation room.

This is a fixed course except for rest days, and everyone must attend on time.

"It's time to meditate again. Today I want to learn some moves from Hashima-san."

"Then try it, I hope it will be more comfortable."

"Haha, everyone needs to work hard."

After arriving at a somewhat familiar scene, the members of the group entered a state of meditation accordingly. This time, everyone felt much more relaxed than on the first day. After all, practice makes perfect.

After finishing meditation, it was time to have breakfast. The teachers had already explained yesterday that today's breakfast would be prepared by the third-year members of the group. When we arrived at the dining area, the third-year students led by Horikita Manabu had already placed a full plate of food on the table.

"What a delicious smell! Is this the breakfast prepared by the seniors?"

"It feels really impressive. Won't it be very stressful when it's our turn?"

"Relax, I can still cook."

The members of the same group were in a good mood. Hashima Hikaru glanced at the dining table and then walked in front of Horikita Manabu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Horikita-senpai."

"Cooking is not a difficult thing,"

Horikita Manabu turned on the faucet and washed his hands. "Hashima-kun, you didn't come to me just to say hello, did you?"

"Of course not. This afternoon and tomorrow are both off days. Is Horikita-senpai free?"

"what are you planning to do?"

Horikita Manabu picked up a towel and dried his hands. He pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and asked the boy about his real purpose.

"We need to continue with yesterday's arrangements. If a critical moment comes, I hope that Horikita-senpai will step in and make our actions more convincing."

Hashima Hikaru spoke frankly and did not hide anything from the person in front of him.

"Hashima-kun, aren't you sure you can handle it?"

"Haha, of course not."

Hashima Hikaru smiled and shook his head, "It just served as a smokescreen, because I have a backup plan."

"Oh, I get it."

The sharp-minded Horikita Manabu immediately understood what Hashima Hikaru meant. He wanted him to appear not to do anything real, but to paralyze Nanyun Masa.

After all, when Horikita Manabu and the boy appear in one place at the same time, it will definitely be more eye-catching than imagined.

"It seems like Hashima-kun has come up with a lot of plans. Does this have anything to do with the outcome?"

"of course."

Hashima Hikaru nodded, "What's Horikita-senpai's answer?"

"Just come find me when you're working. I'll be in the dorm."

"oh, I understand now."

After having breakfast, Hikaru Hashima went to the classroom with his team members. When he arrived at the school building, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. The other person was standing on the side of the road and seemed to have arrived very early.

After their eyes met, the girl turned around quickly and disappeared from the side of the road.

"Horikita-san?"

Shibata had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the person standing over there. "The girls' classroom isn't here, what is she doing?"

"Who knows."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly.

"Maybe he got lost."

Chapter 494: Horikita Suzune: Why should I have a good relationship with my brother?

The class on Saturday morning was different from yesterday's. After Hashima Hikaru, Horikita Manabu, and Kiriyama Ikuha were still sitting in the same seats as yesterday, the teacher explained the new content to everyone.

"Today I'm going to ask you to introduce yourselves in this way. However, I want you to remember that this isn't just a simple matter of stating your name; it's part of the course."

"Every day from now on, I will have you give speeches. The themes and details required for each grade will be different, but the judging criteria will be the same."

The teacher glanced at everyone in the classroom and emphasized four different words.

"They are [volume], [demeanor], [content] and [expression]"

The course content about public speaking was written in the manual, so Hikaru Hashima naturally remembered it. And after the teacher stated the requirements, everyone immediately realized that this item was most likely the exam item on the last day.

And judging from the arrangement of mixing the three grades together, I'm afraid that everyone in the group will have to publicly express the content of their speeches. Although this is not a complicated matter for Hikaru Hashima, it is an absolutely harsh step for those who are not good at communication, or those who are timid or even a little stage fright.

The boy suddenly thought of Sakura Airi and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

At the podium, the teacher continued to explain the rules of this project.

The speech topics for the three grades are different. The first graders have to give speeches on what they have learned in school during this period and what they want to learn in the future. The topics for the second or third graders are very similar, such as what they want to do in the future or employment. After all, the third graders will leave school in March this year.

"Isn't this kind of project too outrageous? Does everyone have to give a speech?"

"This part is the real test. I have never given a speech in front of a crowd."

"What a troublesome thing!"

Although everyone in Class A of Grade 1 is a good student, not everyone will experience giving a speech during their school years.

Apart from Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami who often host class meetings, other students basically have no chance to do this.

"But speaking is something that only requires more practice."

Hashima Hikaru glanced at the team members behind him and expressed his inner thoughts, "Everyone can write the script first, and then practice on their own in the dormitory or in an open space in the forest. The others will serve as listeners and provide comments. As long as you practice enough, practice makes perfect, it will definitely be effective."

"good idea."

"Let's do it this way. I'll ask Hashima-san to give me some pointers when the time comes."

"Yeah, Hashima-san is definitely very good at this project. After all, he stood on the podium and made a plan on the first day of school."

"really."

"Well, everyone is welcome to ask me."

In addition to the announcement of the speech arrangements this morning, the other courses are still very rich, and everyone in the group is taking them seriously.

"Well, that's all for today's class. get out of class dismissed!"

After the alarm rang, the teacher in charge closed the book and arranged the follow-up matters.

"Today is Saturday, and this afternoon is your rest time. Tomorrow is Sunday, so you can relax. Of course, you are allowed to practice if you want."

"The other rules are the same as those explained on the first day. Although it is a rest day, the people in charge of making breakfast in the group must continue working. This is the rule, so please pay attention."

"Alright, then please disperse, students."

After briefly explaining the arrangements, the teacher turned and left.

Hearing that the students were on holiday, they naturally smiled. Hashima Hikaru glanced at Horikita Manabu, then said a few words to the students in the group and left alone. After all, he had just seen Horikita Suzune, and the other party's meaning was very clear.

……

After entering the forest, Hashima Hikaru quickened his pace and moved towards the place where he had met Horikita Suzune that day. This was the benefit of meeting on the first day. As long as he knew the location in advance, he could make an appointment to meet by just seeing each other.

Arriving at the fixed location, the boy saw a black-haired girl in sportswear under a tree.

"Horikita-san, I'm here."

Hashima Hikaru approached with a gentle expression, while Horikita Suzune shuddered all over and slowly turned her head to look at his face.

"Yeah, Hashima-san."

Although they had hugged each other intimately last time, Horikita Suzune still felt a little shy at this time. After boldly expressing her inner love, the girl now entered a sweet mood of worrying about gains and losses.

"Why does it seem like Horikita-san is a little shy? Seriously."

Hashima Hikaru smiled gently. He probably caught the girl's inner emotions, so he took the initiative to step forward and gently hugged her delicate body. "It seems to be a little cold today. It feels very warm to hold you and talk like this."

"Well...it's up to you to decide."

After being hugged by the boy, a blush appeared on the black-haired girl's cheeks. She subconsciously reached out and hugged his waist tightly, which was what Horikita Suzune longed for.

"After finishing yesterday's classes, how do you feel, Horikita? Are you confident about this exam?"

The two hugged each other under the tree and chatted slowly.

"Well, I feel okay. The intensity of the exercise isn't very high, so I can still adapt. As for the cultural courses and meditation, as long as I get used to them, I'll be fine."

The black-haired girl leaned her head on Hashima Hikaru's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. This feeling made her feel very wonderful.

"That's good, what about your team members?"

Hashima Hikaru smiled gently, "Who is your [person in charge]?"

"The person in charge is Karuizawa-san. Everyone is working very hard because they all want to win the prize of the competition."

"Is it?"

Hashima Hikaru thought about it and felt that Karuizawa-san should be referring to Karuizawa Megumi. The boy had established a cooperative relationship with her when he was on the cruise ship. Because he had resolved the threat from Ryuuen, the other party agreed to help him.

"What's wrong, Hashima-san? Do you have any questions?"

Raising her head from Hashima Hikaru's arms, Horikita Suzune looked at the other's thoughtful face, and couldn't help feeling curious.

"No, I was just thinking about something else very important."

He grinned, his smile meaningful, "I have something to do later, and I need to work with Horikita-san's brother."

"Really."

The girl was not surprised by this. She had known for a long time that her brother and Hikaru Hashima were familiar with each other. Now that they were in the same group, it was not surprising that they acted together.

"Yeah, after all, I want to have a good relationship with Horikita-senpai, so I still have to work hard on that."

"Eh? Why do you want to be close to your brother?"

Horikita Suzune was slightly stunned and didn't react for a moment.

"Because he is my brother too~"

Hikaru Hashima suddenly tightened his grip, pulling the girl in his arms closer to him.

"Well!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Horikita Suzune's face instantly became even redder. Feeling the boy's warm breath so close to her, she immediately understood.

After all, I have this kind of relationship with him now, and if he calls me brother, the meaning is very obvious.

"Am I wrong?"

Hikaru Hashima sniffed the girl's fragrance and teased her softly.

"……Correct."
