People are teaching, my love stock market just wants to be full

After listening to this long list of analysis, Kushida Kikyo's palms were actually sweating a little, because this guy had basically guessed it right. If she hadn't been worried that Horikita Suzune would reveal her past, she wouldn't have been so persistent in wanting to contact her.

"It seems my analysis was correct."

Hashima Hikaru pinched Kushida Kikyo's little hand. He could naturally feel the sweat oozing from the other's skin, not knowing whether it was nervousness or worry.

"But regarding this point, I think Kushida-san can put aside her anxiety for the time being, because I haven't heard anything from her yet." The boy said in a frank tone.

"Really?"

Kushida was a little skeptical, her beautiful eyes fixed on Hashima Hikaru's expression. The warmth coming from her palms continued, and she seemed to be able to feel the other person's calm heartbeat.

"of course it's true."

After nodding, Hashima Hikaru changed his tone and said with a hint of amusement, "If I really heard the secret about you from Horikita, maybe I would make some different decisions."

"What...other decision?"

Kikyo Kushida noticed that this guy actually started to look at her figure, and his eyes were wandering around her upper body, his target was obvious.

"What are you doing!" the girl shouted angrily, a blush rising on her little face, not sure if it was out of anger or shyness.

"I was just proving it to Kushida-san," Hashima Hikaru said with a smile, "I only saw Kushida-san putting her hands on the railing last time, and you came here to threaten me in that way."

"If I really knew that important secret, I might use it to blackmail Kushida-san. After all, I won't suffer any loss, right?"

"..."

Although she was reluctant to admit it, after hearing this explanation, Kikyo Kushida now accepted it to some extent. If this guy really knew the secret about herself, his attitude would probably change fundamentally.

Who is the prey and who is the hunter?

She didn't dare to think further.

Although Hikaru Hashima never showed any such thoughts during my interactions with him, who knows what he is thinking? He is clearly holding my hand tightly.

"It seems Kushida-san thinks what I said makes sense," Hashima Hikaru said with a smile and a shake of his head. "Now that I've said this, I think it will temporarily dispel Kushida-san's anxiety."

"So what are you going to do?"

Although Kushida accepted this answer in his heart, he still asked coldly, "You lent points to Horikita because you wanted to get closer to her and find out this secret?"

"Of course not. This is just an accident. You can think of it as me being helpful."

"Do you think I would believe it?"

"Time will convince Kushida-san," Hashima Hikaru said slowly, looking at the hand that was holding Kushida Kikyo's. "Can you feel your mood changing now?"

"What changes?"

Although Kushida was in a complicated mood, for some reason, after hearing what he said, the impatience and anxiety in her heart seemed to slowly dissipate, and her body had already relaxed a lot.

"It's about Kushida-san's anxiety. Hasn't anything changed?"

Seeing that the time was almost right, Mitsuru Hashima opened his palm without any hesitation and stopped wrapping the other person's hand.

"What now?" he continued.

After Hikaru Hashima suddenly let go of her hand, Kikyo Kushida's body shook again. Her little hand remained there, and it took a long time before she slowly withdrew it.

"..."

After withdrawing her hand, Kushida Kikyo actually felt a sense of wanting more. She quickly suppressed this feeling and looked at Hashima Hikaru again and asked.

"So your analysis is over. Is there anything else you would like to say?"

"Of course. I don't want my relationship with Kushida-san to end here. What I just said is just to make you relax." Hashima Hikaru shrugged and then stated his purpose, "Let's work together, Kushida-san."

"What cooperation?" Kushida Kikyo raised her eyebrows.

"That's easy enough, but we still have to start from Kushida-san's side."

Mitsuru Hashima calmly opened his system panel and began to operate it skillfully.

【Selling Sakura Airi shares?】

【Purchase quantity: 5000】

[The Kushida Kikyo stock position is fully invested, with 110660 remaining funds.]

"Since Kushida-san is worried that Horikita-san might reveal your secret, how about I gather information for you?"

After purchasing the stocks, Hashima Hikaru grinned and said, "Anyway, she still owes me points. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future, and she still has some trust in me."

After all, Horikita Manabu is here, so there's no need to worry that she'll ignore me.

"Then what do you want?" Kushida Kikyo asked, looking straight at him.

"It's simple. I gather intelligence for Kushida-san, and of course Kushida-san has to gather intelligence for me. It's mutually beneficial."

"..."

Chapter 120: The Transaction with Kushida Kikyo

In room 303 of the student dormitory building, after Kushida Kikyo heard what Hashima Hikaru said, a thoughtful look appeared on her pretty face.

"Well, this should be a fair deal," the boy smiled faintly. He pushed the drink that Kushida had rejected back in front of him and said slowly, "Kushida-san, please think about this matter. I am telling the truth."

"Humph."

The short-haired girl picked up the drink and took a sip, feeling the cool feeling rushing into her mind, making a hint of comfort appear on her little face, but it quickly disappeared.

After about a minute or two, Kushida Kikyo gently stroked the rim of the cup and looked up at Hashima Hikaru's face.

Although her tone was still cold, it was obviously much looser: "Are you sure this is what you want me to do?"

"Of course, since it's an exchange, both parties have to contribute equal amounts. I'll help you find out about Horikita-san, and you'll help me find out about your class. That sounds easy enough, right?"

"What is your purpose?" Although Kikyo Kushida didn't care about the class interests of Class C, she still wanted to know the other party's purpose.

"Well, this is a long story, I can only reveal a little bit to you."

Of course, Hashima Hikaru wouldn't tell her all of his thoughts, but it would be okay to throw a smoke bomb.

"Everything I do is for Class A. If I can have another source of intelligence on your side, it will help us maintain our advantage."

"For example, Kushida-san told me about the plan to buy test papers. Who in your class came up with this idea? Can you tell me?"

"Heh, you haven't done anything yet, and you want me to tell you information? Isn't that a bit too much?"

Kikyo Kushida looked at the boy's gentle expression and felt that his words were not false, but he really wanted to collect information to help the class, so her mental positioning was raised a level on the spot, and she wanted to take the initiative.

"Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not asking for an answer right now. This is just a proposed direction for intelligence gathering," Hashima Hikaru said calmly, looking at Kushida, who had a new smile on his face. "Since this is a collaboration, it naturally requires mutual benefit."

"Are you serious?" Kushida Kikyo spoke again. She felt that this deal was a good one because the woman Horikita had actually been wary of her for a long time and tried her best to avoid being alone with her under various circumstances.

In this case, if you want to continue to get close to someone, you won’t find a suitable opportunity.

But the guy in front of him was different. From the fact that Horikita Suzune took the initiative to ask him to borrow some points, it could be seen that he had at least gained a certain degree of trust from the other party, which made it possible for him to get close to her.

"Of course I'm serious. Since Kushida-san is so popular in your class, it shouldn't be a problem to get some information."

Hashima Hikaru smiled. He knew very well that Kushida didn't care about the interests of the class at all. This test was just to think about what this deal could bring to him.

"OK then."

After thinking for a while, Kushida slowly nodded and said, "But since you want information, you must give us something of equivalent value."

The short-haired girl took another sip of her drink, her tone filled with resentment, "You have to help me find out if Horikita has been in contact with anyone privately, and make sure she doesn't leak that secret."

Hashima Hikaru nodded and explained his plan: "Actually, I have a more comprehensive operational idea that requires Kushida-san and I to work together."

"What idea?"

"Since we want to reduce the chances of Horikita-san revealing that secret, we can approach it from two directions," Hashima Hikaru held up two fingers and explained, "Kushida-san can observe who she chats with in class and keep an eye out for potential suspects."

"And I will ask her out for meetings from time to time, and then test whether she is in contact with anyone, so as to ensure that there are no sudden accidents. How about that?"

"...Can."

After hearing the boy's explanation, Kushida agreed to this plan.

The only time she could observe Horikita was in the classroom. After all, she had to maintain her image, and it wouldn't be good if she kept pestering that woman.

Therefore, in other places, we can only rely on Mitsuru Hashima to find out the other party's situation, so that we can understand her movements in real time and avoid things that are out of control.

"I agree to the deal."

A hint of determination flashed in Kushida's eyes. Although she was clearly betraying the class, she acted as if she was carrying out some glorious mission.

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Kushida-san."

Hashima Hikaru nodded with a smile. Besides his selfish desire to keep in touch with Kushida to increase the stock price, he also made this deal partly for the sake of the class.

After all, ever since the boy first came into contact with the members of Class C, he has been paying attention to this group that was assigned to the last place after school started.

Including the last time I went to look for Horikita Suzune, I went there once when Hashima Hikaru was selling the rules, and another time was to help Sudo-san find witnesses.

After these three observations, the boy has made many discoveries.

There are indeed students with poor quality in this class. They frequently engage in behaviors such as not cooperating with collective actions, shirking responsibilities, and being selfish.

However, there are still many people who made him care after meeting them, such as the one in front of him, Kikyo Kushida, who has two faces. The comprehensive qualities she showed were definitely above average, and she also had remarkable social skills.

There is also the student council president's sister, Horikita Suzune. I heard that she is very good academically and has good athletic ability. Apart from being self-centered and sharp-tongued, her tenacious character that does not pursue enjoyment is actually something that Hashima Hikaru admires.

The other is Class C's leader, Yosuke Hirata. This guy has good overall qualities, is approachable and has good academic ability, and he gets along well with both boys and girls.

He had no impression of the other students, but the existence of these three people actually illustrates a very important issue, that is, although the school assigned them to the last class, it does not mean that these people are so bad that they cannot be accepted.

Therefore, Hashima Hikaru guessed that they might have been assigned to this class due to special circumstances, and following this line of thought, he immediately thought of another question.

That is, when facing a special exam, it does not mean that they really have no possibility of turning the tables. After all, the idea of ​​buying the test paper last time immediately aroused Hikaru Hashima's vigilance.

Being able to think of this at least shows that the other party has an open mind and can come up with unexpected ideas to help the class.

Hikaru Hashima still really wants to know who the other person is, maybe they will be rivals in the future.

"Well, now that the cooperation has been reached, is there anything else that I can ask, Kushida-san?" Hikaru Hashima asked softly, looking at the other person's pretty face.

"Nothing."

After finishing the drink in the glass, Kushida Kikyo stood up from the ground.

"That's it, then. I'll go talk to Horikita-san alone next time and find out how she's doing. I'll tell you later. Then you'll tell me who came up with the idea of ​​buying the test plan."

"can."

The short-haired girl patted her school skirt, tidied her appearance, and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, before she took a few steps, she suddenly turned back and moved closer to Mitsuru Hashima's body again.

"Now that the cooperation has been reached, there is one thing I want to emphasize," Kushida Kikyo's eyes flashed dangerously, "I will help you get the information you want to know, but you must not betray me, understand?"

"I've always known that I wouldn't take the initiative to find Horikita-san to inquire about the secret about Kushida-san." Hashima Hikaru looked at the girl who came close to him and said in a gentle tone, "What I want is information about the class, not anything else."

"Since everyone knows that this is a taboo belonging to Kushida-san, why would I step on it?"

"What if you plan to find out the secret and then force me to give you the information? Wouldn't that still help you achieve your goal?" Kushida didn't waver and stared at the boy's face.

"hehe."

Hashima Mitsuru smiled. If that was the case, then this good stock would probably be completely ruined.

Given this guy's extreme personality, if he really knew the secret, he might become the second person on her expulsion list.

After all, it was clearly written in the stock that letting Horikita Suzune drop out of school would increase her stock price, and disappearing completely would be the best way to keep the secret.

"If I do that, I'm afraid Kushida-san will dislike me even more, right?" The boy shook his head and gave his own explanation, "What I want is for us to have a long-term cooperation, not become enemies."

"Three years is a long time. Why add another enemy to yourself?"

Looking at Kushida Kikyo's expression, Hashima Hikaru slowly uttered the last words: "Or does Kushida-san really need me to threaten you in order to feel at ease?"

"..."

After hearing these words, Kushida Kikyo fell silent again. After a long while, she spoke again: "That's it, I hope you can do what you say."

"Of course, I won't lie to you."
