"Okay, I can try, but if I guess wrong there's nothing I can do."

After sighing in his heart, Hashima Hikaru gently held Ichinose's hands in his hands, lowered his head and smelled them closely, trying to determine what the smell was.

Although Ichinose Honami on the opposite side was shy, she felt sweet in her heart. She had already made up her mind, so she started to take the initiative.

It is not shameful to like someone, and the girl wants to fight for her own happiness.

As for the other students in Class A, they didn't have any obvious reaction after seeing the two being so intimate. After all, they were used to it. Everyone assumed that the two were dating, so they didn't care at all.

After a few minutes, Hashima Hikaru still couldn't figure out what the scent was. He smiled wryly and said, "Ichinose-san, I can't guess it. Can you tell me the answer now?"

"Hehehe, since Hashima-san can't guess it, let's just keep it as a secret. I'll tell you next time." Ichinose Honami held Hashima Hikaru's hand in return, an even sweeter smile appearing on her pretty face, and she stared at the boy's face with burning eyes.

"Well then, I'll just wait for Ichinose-san to reveal the answer."

Hashima Hikaru nodded and calmly pulled his hand away from Ichinose Honami's small hand. He pretended to glance at the clock on the podium and said softly, "It looks like class is about to start. The new class evaluation scores should be announced today. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Yeah, I wonder if our score has increased."

"You'll know by looking at the rankings. Let's wait for the results to be announced."

When the bell rang, Class A's homeroom teacher, Chie Hoshinomiya, walked into the classroom with a smile on her face, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Good morning, everyone."

"Hello, Mr. Hoshinomiya!"

"Teacher, have our class evaluation scores increased?"

"Yes, this is very important. Teacher, please don't keep us in suspense. Tell us now."

After these two months of getting along with each other, the students in Class A and Chie Hoshinomiya have become quite close, so they speak in a very familiar tone.

"Teacher, I'm not going to keep you in suspense. You're really anxious. Well, I'll announce it right now."

The smile on Hoshinomiya Chie's face did not diminish. She just pretended to sigh, then took the chalk and began to write the class evaluation scores of the four classes on the podium after a month.

Class A: 1105

Class B: 1080

Class C: 362

Class D: 275

When the rankings were announced, all the students in the classroom looked happy. It seemed that after a month, everyone still maintained the first place, and the class evaluation scores increased a lot.

"Great! We're first again!"

"And our overall score has gone up. This month, we've earned over 110,000 personal points. That's pretty good."

"Yeah, is it because of the midterm exam results?" someone raised his doubts.

"That should be the case. After all, our class's overall performance is so good. But it seems that Class B's scores have also increased quite a bit, right?"

Although everyone was very happy, the students in Class A actually knew very well that their current rival was Class B, which had been overtaken.

The gap between the two classes did not widen. Recalling the class evaluation scores announced last month, the gap even narrowed by 5 points.

"Well, everyone, please check if your personal points have arrived. If you have any questions, please communicate with the teacher immediately."

After hearing the discussion of her classmates, Hoshinomiya Chie was quite satisfied. At least everyone did not become complacent about winning the first place again, but immediately shifted their thoughts to their competitive target, Class B.

"110500 has arrived. Our points are increasing every month. It's amazing!" Shibata Sa touched his head and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, under the leadership of Hashima-san and Ichinose-san, our class will definitely gain more and more points."

After two demonstrations, everyone became more convinced of the two's original decision to collect points.

Although half of the points are taken away each time, the overall personal points have been increasing in the past two months. This shows that the original plan was quite correct. As long as 20 million points are successfully collected, everyone will have a certificate to avoid expulsion, which is the common expectation of everyone.

Sitting in his seat, Hikaru Hashima looked at the 110,000 points that had just arrived in his account, smiled, and said to Ichinose Honami beside him, "I'll have to trouble Ichinose-san again later."

"Uh-huh."

"If we can maintain this momentum, we should be able to collect 20 million points smoothly. Then, with this money, we can achieve our original goal."

"I think so too. No student in our class should be left behind. This is our common wish." The pink-haired girl's eyes flashed with a determined light and she nodded heavily.

On the first day of June, everyone in Class A had a great time.

During the free time at noon, everyone actively transferred half of their points to Ichinose Honami. Although the points they just received were only half less, there were still more than 50,000 points left, which was much better than the two classes behind.

Everyone had already gotten used to this pattern last month, so they didn't feel dissatisfied at all. Instead, they trusted Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami even more. After all, everyone agreed with the 20 million point collection plan.

Before school was over, Hikaru Hashima took the initiative to call his study group members, including Ichinose Honami, Shiranami Chihiro, Himeno Yuki, and Shibata Sa, and also called Kanzaki Ryuji and Ando Sayo, with whom he had had dinner before.

Although everyone was a little confused, they still came over cooperatively.

"Let's hold a small internal meeting later. I have something important to tell you all, so I only called you. This concerns the future of the class, and I hope you can all attend."

Seeing the young man's solemn expression, everyone looked at each other and nodded in response.

"Then come with me, let's go to a quiet place."

Chapter 123: Everyone in Class A is Shocked

The place chosen by Hashima Hikaru was the barbecue restaurant where they had dinner together before. Because the space was large and there were private rooms that were more soundproof, it was suitable for discussing more important things without worrying about being heard by other students passing by.

When the boy stood at the counter and informed the clerk of his appointment, everyone who had followed him stood in the back and started whispering.

"Ichinose-san, do you know what Hashima-san is planning to do today?" Ando asked curiously, holding Ichinose Honami's hand.

"I don't know. Hashima-san didn't tell me."

The pink-haired girl shook her head slightly. Although she was confused, Hikari Hashima had told her last time that he would not carry out any plans without telling her. Isn't calling everyone here this time the best proof?

"This guy Hashima actually hid it from all of us. He's such a bad friend!" Shibata Sa, who claimed to be Hashima Hikaru's best friend, expressed his dissatisfaction forcefully and pretended to be very angry.

"Since we're all here now, let's just wait and see what arrangements Hashima-san has. Don't be too anxious, Shibata-san." Kanzaki Ryuji glanced at the boy standing over there and spoke in a calm tone.

"Well, let's just wait."

About a few minutes later, everyone was led by the waiter into a private room that could accommodate more than eight people, and each of them chose their own seat.

In this regard, everyone tacitly reserved the two seats next to each other in the middle for Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami. After everyone was seated and the waiter left to get the barbecue, the boy finally spoke slowly.

"Then let me tell you the purpose of today's gathering."

Hashima Hikaru cleared his throat and scanned everyone's faces with a serious expression.

"Everyone should know about the school's student union, right?"

"I know. I heard that the student union has great power. Wasn't our opening ceremony organized by the seniors of the student union?" Shibata responded quickly. He had a wide social circle, so he knew a lot about the school.

"Yes, in these two months, I believe everyone has gained a deeper understanding of this school, such as the various rules and the competition between classes."

"The student union of this school is actually a blank for us at present, or we cannot really understand the specific work processes and the scope of authority of the student union."

"As a key organization in student self-governance, if we can join the Student Union, it will definitely give our class more advantages."

"Is this the plan that Hashima-san is going to talk about today?" Ichinose Honami leaned on Hashima Hikaru's shoulder and stared straight at the serious-looking boy. Whenever the other party talked about plans or strategies to serve the class, she could feel her heartbeat unconsciously accelerating.

"Are you asking us to join the student union?" Kanzaki Ryuji wasn't very optimistic. "But I heard that some first-year students did apply, but were rejected."

"Is it really that hard to get into the student union? Are there multiple levels of assessment?"

"I'm not sure either. It seems the student council hasn't started recruiting first-year students yet, so most of the members are second- and third-year seniors."

"Then what should we do?"

Everyone turned their attention back to Hashima Hikaru, who raised this topic, wanting to hear his thoughts.

"Indeed, the reason I invited everyone here today is for the Student Union."

Hashima Hikaru paused, chuckled, and said, "But don't worry about how difficult it is to join the student council, because I've already got two spots that are sure to pass."

"what?"

"A place that is guaranteed to pass!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone, including Ichinose Honami, changed instantly.

"What do you mean by 'definitely pass'? Could it be that Hashima-san has already made contact with the student council?" Ichinose Honami's tone was a little hurried, her beautiful eyes fixed on the boy's face.

"Yeah, Hashima, could it be that you have already reached a cooperation with someone in the student union?" Shibata's face was full of disbelief, and the others were similar.

Although everyone recognized the boy's ability as the core figure of the class, what he just said still surprised everyone.

"That's about right. I have some private interactions with Horikita-senpai, the student council president."

Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly, then showed everyone the address book page on his phone. Everyone looked at the three words "Horikita Manabu" written on it, and the shock in their eyes became even more intense.

"Wow...how amazing! I can actually become friends with the third-year student council president?" Ando Sayo exclaimed in amazement. Her social network is not small, but it is limited to first-year students. She cannot establish any relationship with her seniors.

"Yeah, this is too exaggerated. How did Hashima-san know Horikita-senpai?"

"Could it be during the last deliberation?" Ichinose Honami remembered the deliberation when they and Ibuki Mio plotted against Ryuuen. Since she didn't go there, she didn't know what happened at that time.

"Of course not, but that's not the point today."

Hashima Hikaru didn't want to explain the matter of Horikita Suzune to them, so he changed the subject directly and said, "Anyway, I got two spots from Horikita-senpai to join the student council, and I decided to choose between you two."

"Eh?"

"Choosing between us? Hashima-san, don't you want to join the student council?"

"Yeah, if you join, you'll definitely be able to do more to help the class."

Everyone's reactions were all within Hashima Hikaru's expectations. He definitely didn't intend to join the student union directly. After all, he had to manage his time and had too many things to deal with.

If you join the student union, you will have to go to the student union for activities after school, which will seriously compress the teenager's free time.

"What do you think, Hashima-san?"

Ichinose Honami took a deep breath, doubts floating in her bright eyes. After hearing what the other party said, the most perfect scenario in her mind was that she and he would join the student union together, so that they could spend more time together.

"It's not that I don't want to go, but I think I need to divide the work with Ichinose-san."

Hashima Hikaru smiled and explained to everyone, "Perhaps everyone is thinking that if there are two spots available, it would be best for Ichinose-san and I to join the student council together."

Everyone thought so, so they all stared at the boy's face, wanting to hear his reason.

"But have you ever thought about another problem? The student union's activities last a long time. If it's busy, we might have to stay until very late."

"Of course I'm not afraid of getting tired, but I think it would be best for Ichinose-san and I to choose one of us to join, and the other one to stay in the class to prevent any accidents from happening."

"What if we're all busy in the student council and suddenly encounter a major problem?" Hashima said sincerely, "For example, if the fight in Class C turns out to be a frame-up by Class D, what if they target us?"

"If we leave one person in the class, we can handle this situation immediately if we encounter it, instead of rushing to the Student Union, where there are seniors. If it involves the class's secrets, we can't explain it directly. If we happen to have a task assigned by the seniors, how should we choose?"

"This will cause a lot of problems. Can you understand my concerns?"

When he finished his last words, everyone was silent.

What he said does make sense. After all, everyone here is active and has some appeal in the class. They know that the backbone of Class A are Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami.

If they all go to the student union after school, it would be really troublesome if they couldn't find anyone for a while if something really happened.

"That's true. I think what Hashima-san said makes sense."

"Yeah, if you guys weren't here and something really happened, the class would probably be in chaos." Ando Sayo thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

"What do you think, Ichinose-san?" Hikaru Hashima turned her head and asked the pink-haired girl beside her softly.

After hearing his explanation, Ichinose Honami also thought about this hypothetical situation. She thought this idea was perfect and could ensure that there would be no problems in the class.

"I agree with what Hashima-san is thinking. If that's the case, then I'll go to the student council, and Hashima-san will stay in the classroom."

"Is this okay? Or should I go?" Hashima Hikaru deliberately tested him, but in fact he already had the answer in his heart. Ichinose Honami would definitely take the lead in this kind of thing, and he now knew the girl's temperament very well.

"No, Hashima-san will do better than me if you stay in the class. I believe in your ability!" The girl said in a firm tone, emphasizing each word.

"Okay, our first spot has been decided. Now let's choose the second person."

Chapter 124: Setting Nanyun Ya as an Imaginary Enemy

After Ichinose Honami decided to take up a spot on the student council, Hashima Hikaru turned his attention to the other people at the party.

How should I put it, Class A has already become united thanks to his and Ichinose's efforts, and everyone is pretty united, so there's no problem telling them about these things.

However, there were actually some people who were called over just to make up the numbers, such as Chihiro Shiranami from Ichinose Honami's small group. Her overall quality can only be described as average, but given her close relationship with the pink-haired girl, it was okay for her to be an observer.

As for the other classmates, they all have good abilities, such as Ryuji Kanzaki and Sa Shibata among the boys, and Sayo Ando and Yuki Himeno among the girls. They are all outstanding candidates in Class A, so one of them must be selected to be Ichinose Honami's assistant in the student union to assist her in her actions.
