The next morning, since it was Friday, Hashima Hikaru decided to carry out his plan to buy the test papers in the afternoon.

After finishing his exercise, he walked quickly into the classroom with a glass of milk in his hand.

It just so happened that Ichinose Honami had already arrived and greeted him with a smile from her seat: "Good morning, Hashima-san."

"Good morning, Ichinose-san."

After putting his schoolbag away, Hashima Hikaru reached out to tear open the milk packaging and said to the pink-haired girl next to him, "Ichinose-san, I found some very important information, so I want to carry out a plan with you."

"Eh?"

Ichinose Honami was slightly taken aback by the boy's sudden invitation, but after hearing the words "plan" and "intelligence", her expression immediately became serious.

"This plan is related to the upcoming midterm exam, so it's very important to our class."

After tearing off the seal on the milk, Hashima Hikaru took a sip, looked into Ichinose Honami's eyes, and asked, "Ichinose-san, do you have any plans this afternoon?"

"No, even if there was, I can turn it down. After all, the class action plan is the highest priority."

Ichinose Honami shook her head, a faint smile on her pretty face as she replied, "Is this plan just for me and Hashima-san?"

"Well, it doesn't require too many people. If everything goes well, it can be completed quickly."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the pink-haired girl whose eyes suddenly lit up: "After this plan is completed, the remaining things will be the key."

Although the boy was very confident in his classmates, knowing the questions for the midterm exam would be an extra layer of security.

Because he didn't know whether the results of the midterm exam would affect the class evaluation score. Without being completely sure, it was definitely not a bad thing to let everyone get high scores.

"I understand," Ichinose Honami nodded, looked at the other party and asked, "What information did Hashima-san find out?"

"It's about the test paper."

Hashima Hikaru organized his words in his mind, and then told Ichinose Honami all the information that Kushida Kikyo had told him yesterday.

After the girl heard this, her pretty face was filled with shock.

"So that's how it is... Will the test papers be reused?"

Ichinose Honami never expected that the school would operate like this. She thought that if the purpose was to select better students, every midterm and final exam would be the top priority of the school's testing.

The girl, who had been trying hard to encourage everyone to review during this period, felt some subtle emotions in her heart after learning about this.

"In short, this information is very important to us."

Hashima Hikaru looked at Ichinose Honami's face and said softly, "Everyone's efforts during this period have not been in vain. After all, this information has not been confirmed. We still can't stop reviewing until we see the content of the comparison test paper."

"After school, Ichinose-san, come with me. Let's pick a suitable senior and buy what we want from him.

"Uh-huh."

Ichinose Honami was very happy to be able to act alone with Hashima Hikaru.

But after she went over this information in her mind, a new idea suddenly came to her mind.

The pink-haired girl looked back at Hashima Hikaru's gentle expression, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Where did you get this information, Hashima-san?"

"?"

Hashima Hikaru's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the pink-haired girl staring at him, then immediately pulled up the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly, "Of course, I gathered this information from other sources."

"I've said before that I won't hide my thoughts from you anymore. I'll let Ichinose-san lead the class." Hashima Hikaru studied the girl's face and calmly changed the subject. "So, Ichinose-san will have to take the lead in the negotiations with the seniors later."

"oh, I understand now."

Although she was evaded, Ichinose Honami simply looked deeply at the boy's smiling expression and chose not to continue exploring the issue.

After confessing her feelings to Shiranami Chihiro that day, her awareness became stronger day by day.

Ichinose Honami will never give up until she gets what she wants.

Chapter 109: Men and women match, bargaining is not tiring

When the school bell rang, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami beside her looked at each other, and then they walked out of the classroom side by side.

Just now during the break, the two of them had briefly discussed the specific implementation ideas of this plan.

First of all, if you want to buy the test paper from a senior student, you must be sure of your target and choose someone with a very small number of shortcomings. Only in this way can you get the other party to agree as soon as possible.

In order to prevent the other party from raising the price, the scope of concessions during the bargaining process should not be too large, otherwise personal points will be wasted.

After such a simple calculation, both Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami understood the general scope of the selection, that is, seniors from Class C or Class D in the upper grades. Now there is not much time left in May.

As classes with lower rankings, the students in these classes must have a certain number of shortcomings.

After leaving the teaching building, the first stop chosen by Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami was the student cafeteria, because there was a very important place here - a window that provided free wild vegetable sets.

乢"How's it going, Ichinose-san, did you see anyone getting food?"

Hashima Hikaru asked Ichinose Honami to keep an eye on the window serving wild vegetable sets while he went to buy two drinks.

"Yes, but he's not a senior. School just got out, so let's wait a little longer."

Ichinose Honami reached out and took the peach-flavored soda handed to her by Hashima Hikaru. After she found out that the boy liked to drink it, she immediately started learning to buy this flavor and now she is used to it.

"oh, I understand now."

Holding an iced drink in his hand, Hikaru Hashima stood side by side with the pink-haired girl in the corner of the cafeteria, observing the moving crowd.

They didn't plan to eat here. After all, before leaving, Ichinose had already made plans to cook in Hashima Hikaru's dormitory today, and had even thought of what dishes to prepare.

"coming!"

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Hashima Mitsuru's eyes lit up because he saw a senior boy standing in front of the window of the wild vegetable set meal. After he got a meal, he walked towards the tables and chairs in the cafeteria.

"Ichinose-san, let's go."

"Ah."

The girl's expression became serious and she immediately walked quickly towards the boy who had just sat down.

"Um, you should be a senior, right? I'm a first-year student, Ichinose Honami, and this is Hashima Hikaru, who's in the same class as me."

Ichinose Honami, displaying her talent for making friends, said to the senior with grace and grace, "We have something we'd like to discuss with you. Could you please spare us a few minutes?"

Seeing the beautiful girl who suddenly appeared before him, and the boy standing next to him, the senior boy asked with some confusion: "What do you want from me?"

"Actually, we're here to help you, Senpai," Ichinose Honami explained with a smile, taking the seat across from him. "Would you be interested in earning some personal points?"

"Personal points?"

After hearing these words, the boy's fingers holding the spoon moved slightly.

He glanced at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, paused, and then took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to do?"

"Well, it's not very complicated. We want you to transfer the midterm exam papers you took in your freshman year to me. I can pay you a certain amount of personal points as a price."

"..."

"Then how much are you willing to pay?"

After understanding the two people's plan, the boy's expression did not fluctuate much, but continued: "If the price is too low, I will not agree to this deal."

Mitsuru Hashima, who was standing next to him, naturally saw the other party's attitude and understood on the spot that this kind of trading of test papers was probably condoned by the school. The other party was not surprised at all, which meant that such a situation had occurred before.

"I can offer up to 10,000 personal points."

As a good homemaker, Ichinose Honami has mastered excellent bargaining skills since she was a child. This skill has been shining even after she came to this school. She used it when she went to the vegetable market with the boy to buy vegetables.

Mitsuru Hashima really appreciated this aspect of the girl's character, and even took the opportunity to tease her that she would become a very good housewife.

"No, ten thousand is too little." After hearing Ichinose Honami's offer, the senior boy quickly shook his head, raised three fingers, and said, "At least thirty thousand."

"This price is too high and we cannot accept it."

Ichinose Honami's expression hardened as he slowly said, "Ten thousand points at most. It's almost the end of the month, and I don't have many personal points left. If you insist, we'll have to find someone else to cooperate with."

"..."

Seeing the determined look on the girl's face, the boy glanced at the wild vegetable set meal on the plate with hatred. If he had been short of money, he would not have chosen to come here to eat this!

"Then...how about 25,000? That's a price I can accept."

"No, the most I can offer is only 10,000 points." Ichinose Honami continued to shake her head, looking unyielding.

"you..."

The boy began to struggle violently in his heart. After all, he was the one being asked. If he could use this opportunity to make more money, who would agree directly?

Just as he was about to continue bargaining, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the boy who had been silent all this time suddenly came over and sat next to him.

"Ichinose-san, come on! I'm your senior, what's with your attitude? Apologize to him!"

After seeing the hint in Hashima Hikaru's eyes, Ichinose Honami's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and she quickly spoke with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Senior, I was a little anxious just now, please don't mind it."

After pretending to "reprimand" the girl across from him, Hashima Hikaru looked at the senior boy with a smile and suggested, "How about this? Let's just make a compromise. I'll pay 15,000 personal points to you, senior."

"In addition to the midterm exam papers and answers, Senior, please also give us a copy of the monthly quiz papers. How about that?"

"This deal is good for all of us," Hashima Hikaru said with a clear hint in his tone, not afraid that the other party wouldn't understand. "Because Ichinose and I are quite frugal, we can still afford this payment near the end of the month."

"If you insist on refusing, it might be difficult to find a suitable trading partner."

"..."

The senior boy's eyes moved between the two of them twice, and finally nodded slowly.

"It's a wise choice. Then let's pay and get the goods."

After seeing the other party's statement, Hashima Hikaru smiled and said to the boy, "We can wait here for you to finish your meal, and then go get the test paper."

"We'll transfer the money right after we see the test paper, how about that?"

"Okay, I'll get it right away."

After agreeing to the deal, the senior boy immediately put down his spoon and stood up, but added to the two of them, "I'll be back soon. I hope you keep your word."

"Don't worry, Senior, this is a deal that benefits both of us. We won't run away."

After watching each other rush out of the cafeteria, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami looked at each other and then laughed together.

This was a supplementary solution that Mitsuru Hashima came up with during lunch break, because bargaining, to put it bluntly, is about grasping the other party's psychological expectations.

The two of them estimated the price of this transaction to be within 20,000. In order to avoid wasting time arguing with him, it is best to use a good-cop and bad-cop approach, making you hesitate and dissatisfied at first, and then finally proposing a real plan to finalize the deal.

After all, no one would refuse money. Fifteen thousand is not a small amount. Besides, it is useless to keep the other party's test paper in his hand, unless he takes the initiative to contact other students, but he cannot guarantee that the other party still has money.

"Then let's just wait here."

Mitsuru Hashima opened the soda in his hand and looked at the cafeteria door with a relaxed expression. It was good that there were no twists and turns. At least he didn't have to put in much effort.

"Uh-huh."

Chapter 110: Photoshoot with Sakura Airi

After waiting in the cafeteria for more than ten minutes, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami finally came back as promised. It seemed that he had run all the way back and forth, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"I've got it. You can transfer the money now."

The boy was holding a stack of test papers in his hand. The subjects of the midterm exam were divided into five subjects: Chinese, mathematics, chemistry, English, and social studies. Together with the test papers of the small tests, it looked quite heavy.

After glancing at the test papers, Hashima Hikaru smiled and said, "I understand. Senior, don't worry that we will default on our promise. After all, integrity is the most important quality in life."

The boy took out his cell phone and entered the interface for adding friends. Since it was 15,000 personal points, Hikaru Hashima did not plan to let Ichinose Honami share it equally. After all, everyone in Class A only got half of the points, and they didn't have much money.

On the contrary, he had plenty of points, which came in handy.

"Come on, add me as a friend, and I'll transfer it to you right away."

"can."

The boy quickly completed the specific operation, and then saw a new reminder pop up on his mobile phone.

"It's done. Senior, can you give us the test paper now?"

Hashima Hikaru put his phone back into his pocket and immediately extended his right hand towards the other party.

"it is good."
