"Since we're friends, would you like to join me for a study session, Sakura-san?" Hikaru Hashima looked at her gradually brightening eyes, her tone filled with anticipation. "We can study hard together to get better grades in the upcoming midterm exam."
"!"
Hearing this, a light of incomparable joy suddenly appeared in Sakura Airi's eyes.
In fact, she had been hesitating whether to invite the other party by proposing a study session, because the girl wanted to have more opportunities to spend time with Hashima Hikaru.
And studying together is a good reason to get him to come over more often.
Or should I go to Hashima-san's room?
Thinking of this, the girl's heart was immediately filled with shyness, making her dare not say this directly.
Now, after hearing Hashima Hikaru's suggestion, the coincidence of telepathy made the joy flowing in Sakura Airi's heart even stronger.
"I do... I want to study with Hashima-san. Even though it might slow me down, I'll try my best."
After suppressing her inner excitement and saying this response, Sakura Airi looked at the boy in front of her again.
"That's good. Please give me your guidance in the future, Sakura-san," Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly. "Whether it's in my room or yours, let's confirm the time using text messages before holding the study session."
"Ah."
The boy had already thought of contacting them via mobile phone in advance. After all, he didn't have much free time. In addition to his regular exercise plan in the morning and evening, he also had to attend study sessions with the group organized by Ichinose Honami. Perhaps he would have to contact Horikita Suzune and Shiina Hiyori later.
Oh, and there's also Kushida Kikyo, who just lowered her stock price.
Now there is an additional private study agreement with Sakura Airi.
Time management, time management.
[Sakura Airi is very happy with your proposed study session plan. She thinks it's the perfect coincidence. Sakura Airi's stock price has risen by 10 points and is currently at 110.]
"coincide?"
After seeing the system prompt, Mitsuru Hashima was a little puzzled, but looking at the shy face of the girl, he did not think about it any further. Anyway, it was a good thing that he could continue digging.
Learn, learn hard!
Chapter 98: The Literary Girl in the Library
After the Sudo incident came to an end, there were still nearly two weeks left until the midterm exams.
The members of the study group that Hashima Hikaru is in are him, Ichinose Honami, Himeno Yuki, Shiranami, and Shibata. After agreeing on the plan for the study session with Sakura Airi, he began to communicate with Ichinose Honami.
"Regarding the upcoming midterm exams, do you have any plans, Ichinose-san?" The boy tilted his head to look at the pink-haired girl who was trusted by all his classmates.
"Yes, since we've already decided on the members of each class group, let's follow this idea to conduct a more comprehensive review to fill in the gaps. After all, isn't the red line for the midterm exam the benchmark score for each subject?"
Ichinose Honami brushed back the pink hair that had fallen across her chest, a confident glint in her eyes. "I believe that all the students in our class will be able to pass."
"That's true. Everyone has been working very hard since the start of school, so there's no need to worry too much about this."
Hashima Hikaru rubbed his chin. He wanted to follow his time management plan, so he said to Ichinose Honami, "However, from now on, I will probably only be able to attend study sessions for about two hours each time."
"Hey, why?"
As soon as these words came out, Ichinose Honami frowned slightly and asked reluctantly, "Hashima-san, don't you want to study with us?"
"Of course not. I'm used to combining work and rest. Two hours of study sessions is more than enough to consolidate my knowledge," Hashima Hikaru said with a slight smile, a matter-of-fact tone. "Besides, Ichinose-san knows that I swim every night, right? I've also discovered a new hobby lately that I'd like to spend some time exploring."
"What's your interest?"
"Reading is a way to supplement my knowledge. I've been to our school library before. There are so many books there. I want to spend some time looking through them."
"But..."
Although Ichinose Honami knew that she shouldn't restrict the other party's actions, for some reason, whenever Hashima Hikaru said that she had other things to do, she would subconsciously feel a resistance in her heart.
It wasn't even something she could control.
"And what I want to say to Ichinose-san is that even if it's just to maintain your class ranking, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself or your classmates."
"There's still a lot of time in the future. Learning is a long-distance race. If you keep forcing yourself to stay tense, you might run into problems in other areas."
"Well, I won't force you to spend all your spare time on studying. It's good enough to hold study sessions regularly. I know how hard everyone is working." Ichinose Honami nodded slightly, indicating that she would not force this pressure on everyone.
After all, the students in the class are relatively self-disciplined in their studies, and the group members are selected based on the complementary performance of their subjects. If they review at a normal pace, it will be a very safe way to proceed.
There will be a small test before the midterm exam, which can help us understand everyone’s level in specific subjects after review.
There is no need to tell the students about the idea of controlling scores for the time being. After this period of study is over, we can use this method as a basic guarantee.
"That's right, Ichinose-san can actually spend more time on yourself instead of spending it all on your classmates. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time." Hashima Hikaru offered his suggestion.
In fact, he understood very well that the girl's personality was that of someone who was willing to take on pressure for the sake of others. This kind of personality earned her a lot of trust and goodwill, but it also became a shackle that bound her.
Now that the class has been integrated, Hashima Hikaru hopes that Ichinose can act for herself at certain times, so that she can feel more relaxed.
This is also in line with the time management arrangement conceived by Hashima Hikaru. After all, when Ichinose Honami focuses on herself, her attention on the boy will be reduced.
In order to become a master manipulator, Hashima Hikaru might often meet with girls from other classes in the future. If Ichinose saw this, it would probably be... a bit troublesome, right?
Feeling the tenderness in the other person's eyes, Ichinose Honami felt a warmth in her heart, and then nodded vigorously: "I will, thank you for your concern, Hashima-san."
"Well, remember not to work too hard."
After deciding on the members of each group, Ichinose Honami and her classmates agreed to hold three study sessions a week, with no restrictions on time or place. In addition to reviewing questions, there would also be some test practice and explanations.
It just so happened that today was not the time for a study session, so Hashima Hikaru said hello to the girl next to him and left the classroom with his schoolbag.
He planned to go to the library today to see if he could run into Shiina Hiyori.
The library of Tokyo Metropolitan Kouyouiku School occupies a large area on the artificial island. Since it serves students of three grades, it has a large collection of books covering many different fields. The quality of the books is also very good, and you can complete the book borrowing process using the student ID card on your mobile phone.
Of course, if you don’t want to borrow books, you can also read directly in the library. In addition to the towering bookshelves, there are also many vacant desks to serve students in need. However, it is necessary to maintain silence in the library. This is a consensus around the world.
But it’s okay if you speak quietly, as long as it doesn’t disturb others.
When Mitsuru Hashima stepped into this extremely spacious and beautiful library, a heavy scent of books hit him in the face.
"This place is really amazing. It's a great place to kill time."
Mitsuru Hashima observed the surrounding environment and strolled in front of the rows of bookshelves. Whether in his previous life or after his rebirth, the boy was very interested in reading. When he was swimming in the sea of books, he could get rid of many troubles.
"Well, let's look around for a bit and see if we can run into Shiina."
After making up his mind, Mitsuru Hashima began to explore various areas in the library. He thought that if he bought Shiina Hiyori's stocks in the future, he might come here often.
After walking for about ten minutes, a slender gray-haired figure appeared in front of the boy.
It was the one I had met before, the D-class strategist who served as Ibuki Mio's assistant, Shiina Hiyori.
The elegant-looking girl was standing in front of the librarian's counter, apparently going through the procedures for borrowing books.
The boy immediately thought of the analysis results of the [Stock Analyzer] he had used before, which clearly explained Shiina's preferences.
[Stock price increase suggestion: Become a book friend with her, discuss mystery novels together, and gain her unique inner recognition.]
After going over this information in his mind, Mitsuru Hashima calmed himself down and walked towards the counter.
After taking out her mobile phone to confirm that she had completed the book borrowing process, Shiina Hiyori felt a figure seemed to be walking towards her. The girl turned her head and saw that it was Hashima-san, whom she had met once before.
She still clearly remembered the scene of the other party coming to her class to sell the hidden rules. It seemed that he and Ibuki knew each other before and was currently the core member of Class A.
"Um, I'd like to ask where the bookshelf with the mystery novels is?"
Hashima Hikaru pretended not to notice the gray-haired girl standing beside him, and asked directly the librarian standing behind the counter.
"Mystery novels? There should be some on bookshelf 11. You can go over and take a look."
The librarian was an older woman. Upon seeing the handsome young man, she immediately put on a gentle smile and said, "Walk straight past bookshelf 11 and then turn right and you'll see it."
"Ok."
Hashima Hikaru nodded and was about to turn around, but the next moment he met Shiina Hiyori's purple eyes.
"Shiina...classmate?" The boy pretended to be quite surprised and asked tentatively.
"Hashima-san, do you like mystery novels too?"
After hearing what Hashima Hikaru asked, Shiina Hiyori's heart skipped a beat. She had never expected that this boy from another class would be interested in mystery novels, even though she had never seen him here before.
"Uh, yeah," Hashima Hikaru asked doubtfully, "Do you have any questions, Shiina-san?"
"no."
The gray-haired girl shook her head and then suggested, "I know where the bookshelf with the mystery novels is. Can I take Hashima-san there?"
"Is that okay? Then I'll leave it to Shiina-san. I've rarely been to the library before, so I'm not very familiar with it."
"Please come with me."
Chapter 99: Shiina Hiyori wants to find a like-minded person
After Shiina Hikaru extended his invitation, Hashima Hikaru followed him forward.
After walking for a few minutes, the girl in front stopped and turned around and said, "We're here. This is bookshelf number 11."
"Thank you Shiina-san."
Hashima Hikaru smiled and nodded to her, then shifted his gaze to the bookshelf next to him.
As a library with a history of more than ten years, the collection here is very diverse, and it seems that some mainstream works have been collected, which is why it is so rich.
At this moment, bookshelf No. 11 is filled with works by many well-known mystery writers, including Keigo Higashino, Agatha Christie, and Shoji Shimada. Their books are sold all over the world and are classic contents that can be translated into several different languages.
"It's really quite rich. I haven't been here before. It feels like a waste."
In fact, Hashima Hikaru had read quite a few mystery works in his previous life and could be considered a half mystery fan, so he didn't need to pretend to be interested in mystery novels, after all, he really wanted to read them.
"Astrology murder magic? I remember I hadn't finished reading it last time..."
"And this mystery of the Puppet House, I heard it's a really good orthodox mystery."
Just as the boy was muttering to himself, the eyes of Shiina Hiyori next to him became brighter and brighter, because she felt as if she had really met a like-minded person, and her heart beat slightly faster.
"Um..." The gray-haired girl took the initiative to speak.
"Hmm? Is there anything else, Shiina-san?"
Hikaru Hashima stroked a book he pulled out from the bookshelf. It had a beautiful binding and was "The Ghost of the Clockwork Museum" by Ayatsuji Yukito, published in 1991. He had not read this book yet.
"Hashima-san, do you like mystery novels?" Shiina Hiyori mustered up the courage. Normally, she would not do such a thing, but after witnessing this scene today, she became quite concerned. After all, who doesn't want to find a like-minded person?
"Yes, I read a lot of them when I was in junior high school, but then I had to go to college, so I didn't have much time to read mystery novels," Hashima Hikaru smiled gently, "and now that I've started school, I've been very busy. I only had some free time recently, so I came here to look for books to read."
"Is Shiina-san also a fan of mystery novels?"
"Yes, I like detective novels very much and have always been following them."
After hearing the boy's affirmative answer and related experience, Shiina Hiyori stared at the other's face seriously and nodded his head.
"Isn't this great? Then we can be considered as fellow enthusiasts."
Hikaru Hashima pulled out another copy of Ayatsuji Yukito's "The Black Cat Museum Notes" from the bookshelf. He looked at the girl in front of him and asked, "Shiina-san, are you planning on reading here now?"
"Yes, I have already chosen my books and have just completed the borrowing procedures."
"Hey, if I want to read a book here, do I have to go through the borrowing procedures first?"
Hashima Hikaru was a little confused, because according to normal procedures, reading books in the library should not be so troublesome, unless you want to take them away, you need to go through the formalities.
"It's because sometimes I forget the time while reading," Shiina Hiwa explained softly, "so I usually complete the paperwork before reading. That way, when the administrator comes to remind me before leaving get off work, if I haven't finished reading, I can take it away directly without adding to her workload."
"I see."
Hikaru Hashima nodded. As expected, this Shiina-san is a literary girl who loves reading.
If I approach her as a fellow mystery novel fan, it will definitely be easier.
"Then I'll go register as well. I plan to stay here until dinner today."
Hashima Hikaru took the two books he had just selected and was about to go to the counter to register. He glanced at Shiina Hiyori next to him and said, "Please, Shiina-san, save a seat for me first. I'll be right back."
"Ok."
Shiina Hiyori looked at the young man walking quickly towards the counter. After a flicker in his eyes, he walked to the side and chose a seat to read today. He took a book and covered the table opposite with it to indicate that someone was already there.
After a few minutes, Mitsuru Hashima came over with two mystery novels.
"Thank you, Shiina-san. I've received your help again."
