The boy shook his head. The other students in the class group were discussing the information, but none of them had any clues.

"what about you?"

"We searched outside the special teaching building for a long time, but also found no clues."

"What should we do? If we don't find any clues on the first day, it will probably be harder to find as time goes by." A trace of worry appeared on Kushida Kiyore's little face.

"Why don't we continue looking after dinner?" Hirata seemed very serious and said that he absolutely could not accept his classmate being expelled.

"Yeah, I also want to keep trying to find it." The short-haired girl immediately said that she would stick with it.

"Hahaha, since Kushida-chan has said so, we naturally can't give up," Yamauchi Haruki immediately said, "I am willing to continue looking with Kushida-chan."

"Me too, me too."

"Thank you everyone." A grateful smile immediately appeared on Kushida's face.

Standing nearby, Hikaru Hashima glanced at Ichinose Honami. The pink-haired girl seemed to want to continue helping as well, so he leaned over and whispered, "Ichinose-san, are you planning to continue working with everyone?"

"Yes, I think if you want to help, you have to help to the end. I really want to know the outcome of this incident." Ichinose Honami's expression was very persistent.

Hearing this, Mitsuru Hashima was silent for a while. If it was still early, it would be fine to help together, but it was almost seven o'clock now, and he had more important things to do.

After all, I have bought sports enhancers, so I naturally cannot delay the one-hour swimming training every day.

"I still have to go swimming. Ichinose-san, please help me explain it to them." Hashima Hikaru looked at the girl next to him. The other party knew his current exercise habits, so he nodded quickly.

"See you tomorrow, Hashima-san."

"Well, I look forward to your good news."

The boy didn't hesitate any further and turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

If he wanted to go swimming, he had to change out of his school uniform first, and he still had his keys with him. He also had to do some warm-up exercises before going into the water, so he didn't want to waste any more time.

After Hashima Hikaru left, Ichinose Honami explained to everyone, and then their second round of inspection began again, which lasted more than an hour.

On the other side, after a refreshing swimming session, Hikaru Hashima changed his clothes and walked out of the gym.

As the night breeze blew, Mitsuru Hashima touched his hair which was not yet completely dry, and observed the surrounding night scene while walking.

After walking for a while, a muffled sound suddenly came into his ears, as if something hit the railing.

"Bang! Bang!"

What's going on?

After scanning the surroundings, the boy's eyes finally locked onto a blurry figure in front of him.

"who is it?"

He couldn't help but feel curious, so he walked over directly.

Chapter 78: Press, press fingerprint? !

On a quiet night, Mitsuru Hashima moved towards the source of the sound. After about ten steps, the blurry figure finally became clear, and he saw the other person's profile.

A delicate face, exquisite short hair, and a plump and proud figure.

It was Class C's little angel, Kikyo Kushida, who was standing in front of the fence surrounding the artificial island.

However, her demeanor was completely different from the gentle one she often appeared in front of others. Her politeness and dignity were all gone, replaced by a cold and aggressive temperament.

Her movements were even more outrageous. She was kicking the railing in front of her with her feet again and again. Every time she kicked it, the same clanging sound as before would be heard.

"That bitch Horikita! Damn it!"

"You're just being so arrogant because you're cute and have good grades. Do you think everyone likes you?"

"I'm furious!"

She spoke very quickly, and kicked the railing in front of her hard after each sentence. It seemed that she was holding it in very long.

"..."

After witnessing this scene, Hikaru Hashima immediately thought of the results of the [Stock Analyzer]. Could this be the other side of Kikyo Kushida that she has been hiding?

After realizing this, the boy squatted down on the lawn next to him without any hesitation. He wanted to see what this guy really looked like.

"You're a bunch of idiots. Just being in this class makes me feel like I've been tainted by your stupidity. You guys still want to graduate from Class A? Dream on!"

This is incredible. She usually pretends to be an angel, but now she reveals her true thoughts?

Hashima Hikaru sighed, and then he realized that if he could record this scene, it might become a very important key prop.

So the boy took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and just when he pointed the camera at the scene in front of him, the phone notification sound of a pop-up message suddenly rang.

"drop."

I rely on!

Mitsuru Hashima's face changed. It was such a coincidence that the message came at this time. It was too unlucky.

In the silent night, the appearance of this voice was very abrupt and obvious, so Kikyo Kushida, who was standing in front, turned her head suddenly and a cold gaze immediately shot over.

“Who’s there!?”

"..."

The boy put his phone back into his pocket. Since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore, so he walked out from the bushes.

And after seeing himself appear, a delicate cry came towards him.

"Hashima Hikaru!"

The short-haired girl quickly walked towards him. Although she was walking, her speed was very fast. She arrived in front of the boy in just a few breaths.

"You...just saw that, didn't you?"

Kushida Kikyo stood in front of Hashima Hikaru. Because she was not tall enough, she raised her head and stared at the boy's face. From this angle, the girl's face faced the moonlight, reflecting a cold and ruthless expression.

Her pretty little face was covered with frost and her eyes were full of hostility.

"If I say I didn't see it, I'm afraid Kushida-san won't believe it now."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, and his expression did not change much.

"Really? You're quite honest."

Kushida Kikyo's tone was very cold. Although her voice didn't change at all, it made Hashima Hikaru feel completely different.

"Of course, aren't we friends? Of course we should be honest with our friends."

Hashima Hikaru's tone was very gentle, as if what he had just seen was no big deal.

He could probably guess what would happen next. After all, it was clearly written on the [Stock Analyzer] that since Kushida had another side that she didn't want others to know, she might ask him to keep it a secret later.

This is a key condition for increasing stock prices, so Hashima Hikaru must use his acting skills to express his opinion to her.

Looking at the other person's still gentle expression, the short-haired girl was thinking rapidly about what to do next.

This guy always maintains a gentle and considerate attitude when facing her, and it has never changed. Because of this, Kushida Kikyo dared to confirm that the other party really likes her.

But today's matter is too important. Liking someone is the least valuable feeling in the world, and there is no guarantee that he will betray me.

What's more, there is already Horikita Suzune in front of her. This feeling of being out of control has long made Kushida Kikyo feel like a thorn in her throat, so she must do something to keep herself in control of the initiative.

The short-haired girl gritted her teeth secretly, made up her mind, and said, "Hashima-san, actually, I'm a person who doesn't trust others very much."

"Oh why?"

"Because I think no matter who you are, you always have your own selfish desires, so when faced with some important situations, you may make the choice that matters most to you at the moment."

Kushida Kikyo observed Hashima Hikaru's expression, and her tone seemed to soften: "Something serious just happened. It makes me very worried."

"Hmm, what are you worried about, Kushida-san?"

The boy asked knowingly, wanting to see how this guy was going to ask him to keep her secret.

"I think if someone learns some secrets, his actions will become unpredictable, so we must capture him..."

Kushida Kikyo's tone suddenly slowed down, and the last few words she spoke became much softer.

"what?"

Although the distance was very close, Hashima Hikaru didn't hear what she said at the end, so he subconsciously wanted to continue asking, but soon he felt his right hand being held by a pair of cold little hands.

"?"

Almost in an instant, the boy's hand was guided by Kushida's palm and pressed directly on the other's plump breasts.

what?

Mitsuru Hashima's eyes suddenly widened, and a soft touch began to continuously come from his palm, which made the boy's brain freeze on the spot.

This was the first time since his rebirth that he had been so close to a girl, even closer than Ichinose Honami, with whom he had become close imperceptibly. The other girl had only held hands at most, but this was a direct hit.

"Listen to me, Hashima-san."

"This is an idea I just thought of," Kushida's face seemed to blush a little, but he still pressed Hashima Hikaru's palm hard and said.

"This way, your fingerprints are on my school uniform, and it's in such a sensitive place."

"If you dare tell anyone about this, I will report you to the school. The school rules clearly state that if you engage in egregious harassment of a woman, not only will you be expelled, but the police will be called in. Your future could be ruined."

After finishing this long string of words, Kushida simply shook off his hand and took a step back.

“…”

Hikaru Hashima's mood is now very complicated. Not to mention whether the fingerprint can be really detected, even if it can be detected, can the material of the school uniform really be preserved for a long time?

Your attitude is already so good, and it's not impossible for you to ask me to keep it a secret, so do you have to play tricks on me?

But on second thought, since this guy has been deliberately hiding his true self, it makes sense that he doesn't trust other people.

Seeing the boy across from her suddenly fall silent, Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but add, "Why, are you planning to reject this promising future and take a gamble?"

"Do not."

Hashima Hikaru pressed his brows with his hand, looked into Kushida's eyes seriously and said, "I agree to Kushida's request. I will keep this secret for you."

After hearing the other party's affirmative answer, Kushida's heart finally relaxed a little, but he still stared at Hashima Hikaru in front of him and said word by word: "I hope you can do what you said, otherwise I will never let you go."

Upon hearing this, the young man glanced at the system panel, but no new prompt popped up, which meant that she didn't actually believe him.

Then, Hashima Hikaru's tone became even gentler, and he said, "I will never tell anyone about what happened today, no matter what happens. I hope Kushida-san can believe me on this."

"Humph, you know what the consequences will be if you tell anyone. I will always be watching you from behind!"

"That's fine. Kushida-san is welcome to supervise me." Hashima Hikaru smiled faintly, and after glancing around, he slowly said, "I didn't expect this place to be so destined for us. Kushida-san and I met privately twice here."

"What's the point of saying this now? All I want is for you to keep it a secret. I advise you not to have any other thoughts!"

Kushida is now in a desperate state. She has even said such threatening words to the other party, so she doesn't believe that this guy will continue to like her.

"Kushida-san is really embarrassing me. I'm so nice to you..."

Hikaru Hashima continued to show off his acting skills. Now that he had found this breaking point, he had to work harder to raise this guy's stock price today, otherwise he would not give up.

"Could it be that Kushida-san can't sense my thoughts?"

Feeling the boy's burning gaze on him, Kushida couldn't help but remain silent again.

Could it be that after witnessing his true appearance, this guy still holds on to that idea without any change?

He really...

"Actually, even if Kushida-san didn't do this, I would have kept it a secret for you. You were really a little anxious just now."

"..."

An uncontrollable blush appeared on the short-haired girl's cheeks, and she glared at Hashima Hikaru.

"I don't care. Now that it's like this, if you dare to tell anyone, I will report you!"

"I know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitsuru Hashima finally saw the system prompt as he wished.

You promised to keep Kushida Kikyo's secret and successfully gained his trust. Kushida Kikyo's stock price has increased by 30 points and is currently trading at 70.

After witnessing Kushida Kikyo's true face, you continued to express your "admiration" for her, causing her to inexplicably feel a touch of joy. Kushida Kikyo's stock price has increased by 30 points, and is currently at 100.

"!"

Hashima Mitsuru was shocked. Is it really so effective?
