The prices of the other two stocks did not exceed 100, so they were naturally not taken into consideration.

After successfully purchasing stamina, Hikaru Hashima did some simple exercises in the dormitory.

He decided to resume his morning jogging training from tomorrow. Although he did not have the assistance of the [Stamina Enhancer], after raising his stamina to 6 points, the boy felt that he should not neglect this aspect of training. He had to let his body get used to the rhythm of exercise. Whether he could continue to improve depended on his persistence.

No matter what situation you face in the future, improving your physical strength will definitely be worthwhile.

-----

At dawn the next day, today was July 7st, and the new class evaluation scores would be announced, so Hashima Hikaru got up early.

After running a lap around the playground at his original pace, he was very excited about the changes in his body caused by the increase in physical strength.

Running is the most basic exercise mode, and it consumes a lot of physical energy during the process. At this time, the difference in personal physical fitness can be seen. People with superior fitness may be able to run several laps in a row without any problem, while people with poor fitness will cry after running half a lap.

As someone who has truly experienced the entire process of physical strength growth, Hikaru Hashima felt the new feedback from his body during his morning run. This kind of exercise with long-lasting physical strength and steady breathing made the boy feel refreshed and his efficiency was much higher than before.

After finishing his exercise and taking a shower, Mitsuru Hashima walked into Class A's classroom with a smile on his face. As the beginning of the month, every morning on the 1st, the students in the classroom would always come very early. Even though there were still more than ten minutes before class, almost everyone was already there.

When they returned to their seats, the pink-haired girl had naturally arrived long ago. She gazed at the boy's face with a smile and greeted him, "Good morning, Hashima-san."

"Good morning, Ichinose-san."

Hikaru Hashima put his schoolbag away and said calmly, "Another month has passed. It feels like time flies."

"Yeah, it feels like the midterm exams just ended a while ago, but now it's the final exams at the end of the month," Ichinose Honami's pretty face was filled with emotion. "But summer vacation will start at the end of this month, so I'm really looking forward to it."

"Indeed."

Hashima Hikaru nodded, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.

To be honest, he has been so busy trading the stock market recently that he almost forgot about the summer vacation.

Tokyo Metropolitan High School is a fully enclosed school, so students are not allowed to leave the school during the summer vacation. They still have to stay on the artificial island.

But more importantly, the first semester is almost over, but the special exams mentioned at the beginning of the school year have never been held. It is hard not to wonder when this rule will be implemented.

"I heard from the seniors that the school gym will be open to everyone during the summer vacation," Ichinose Honami smiled at the boy's face. "Would you like to go swimsuit shopping with me, Hashima-kun?"

"Uh..."

Seeing the fiery look in the girl's eyes, Hashima Hikaru smiled and replied, "Of course, but will the student council's affairs continue during the summer vacation? We can't keep everyone busy all the time."

"It seems there will still be some work, but it will be much less than during school hours. We should have a lot of time to spend together then. I haven't had dinner with Hashima-san recently, and I'm feeling a little lonely." Ichinose Honami's tone was filled with deep loss, and her beautiful eyes swept across the boy's face.

"Well, it's been hard on you, Ichinose-san. We should be able to spend more time together during summer vacation."

Because he had no good excuse, Hashima Hikaru could only agree to the other party's request with a smile. After a smile appeared on Ichinose Honami's pretty face again, Hoshinomiya Chie walked into the classroom.

"Everyone has worked very hard this month. Now let me announce the new class evaluation scores."

The first semester has come to an end, and Chie Hoshinomiya now has a deeper understanding of the overall level of Class A. In these few months, she has never stopped observing everyone.

First of all, there are the absolute core members, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami. These two are the key to the cohesion of the entire class and are the objects of trust and reliance of all classmates.

They have a lot of say in the class, especially Hashima Hikaru, who almost has the final say and no one will oppose his ideas.

Although Hoshinomiya Chie knew that the class leader was Ichinose Honami, given the girl's gentle nature, if any harsh plan was to be carried out, it would be better for Hashima to step in. This way, division of labor and cooperation would allow the class to gain greater benefits.

As for other active people, such as Ryuji Kanzaki, Sa Shibata, and Sayo Ando, ​​these students have good overall qualities and are relatively popular in the class. They are considered the key combat forces after Hikaru Hashima and Ichinose. If they want to continue to maintain their leading advantage, their presence is also indispensable.

"Our scores shouldn't have dropped, right? We don't have any exams or anything this month."

"Yeah, it would be troublesome if Class B caught up with us. I don't want to change class cards..."

"Teacher Hoshinomiya, please announce it quickly!"

The young teacher standing on the podium listened to everyone's discussion and wrote this month's class evaluation score rankings on the blackboard.

Class A: 1102

Class B: 1078

Class C: 345

Class D: 267

When the rankings were announced, everyone in Class A, who had been staring at the blackboard, breathed a sigh of relief. Although Class B's scores were still very close, at least they had not directly surpassed them, allowing everyone to continue to maintain the advantage of first place.

"It's great that everyone has maintained this momentum. I see your efforts, and I believe that the students in our class are the best."

Hoshinomiya Chie smiled and said, "The final exams for the first semester will be held at the end of this month, so everyone should cheer up and prepare for the exams with all their strength. The school will also give you rewards after the exams."

"What kind of reward is that? Is it the new class evaluation score?"

"Yeah, if we keep up our good grades, can we get extra points?"

After maintaining first place for several consecutive months, the students in Class A became increasingly concerned about their class evaluation scores.

“It was a great summer trip.”

Hoshinomiya Chie didn't answer the questions directly. Instead, she explained to the students with a smile, "After the final exams, if everyone passes successfully, the school will organize a luxury cruise to an island in the south. You can enjoy your summer vacation to the fullest."

"what?"

"Is there even a way to do this?! A luxury cruise ship!"

"I've never been on a cruise before. This school is truly incredible."

Just as the classmates in the class began to discuss excitedly, Hashima Hikaru heard the soft voice of the girl next to him.

"Hashima-san, it's a luxury cruise. Looks like we need to plan our swimsuit purchases ahead of time," Ichinose Honami said with a smile. "What do you think?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect this school to be so generous. If it's a luxury cruise, I'm sure everyone will have a very memorable summer vacation."

The boy smiled and followed Ichinose Honami's topic, but a strange idea suddenly came to his mind.

There were no special exams held in the entire first semester. Could it be that they really have to be postponed to next semester?

If we really follow this line of thinking, then wouldn’t there be too little chance for the lower-ranked classes to make a comeback?

If you really want students to participate more intensely in the competition, you should at least hold a special exam within a semester. Otherwise, wouldn't this special rule be meaningless?

Since this cruise trip was arranged by the school, is there any other explanation?

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin, chaotic guesses flashing through his mind.

Chapter 137 Ibuki Mio: I will keep a close eye on you!

The news brought up by Hoshinomiya Chie made the students in Class A really happy for a long time. It was even more exciting than the personal points that arrived in their accounts this morning. After all, it was a luxury cruise trip, which was quite exciting no matter how you looked at it.

The boys and girls in the class would get together to talk about this matter, such as how to choose a swimsuit, or how to exercise in advance so that they could show off a better figure.

At noon, when Ichinose Honami went to collect half of the personal points as usual, Hashima Hikaru spoke up at the right time to guide the discussion. It was too early to think about these things now. What was more important now was to study hard and prepare for the final exam at the end of the month.

After hearing the boy's initiative, everyone quickly stopped the heated discussion. This was the result of accumulating prestige over a long period of time. The classmates immediately listened to Hashima Hikaru's proposal and did not raise any objections.

After school, Ichinose Honami carried her bag and headed to the student council, while Hashima Hikaru had just received a message from Shiina Hiyori, so she prepared to go to the library to meet the girl.

During this period, he and Shiina Hiyori would meet at the table and chairs next to the bookshelf where classics and mystery novels were placed in the library.

Reading in a quiet atmosphere and chatting in low voices can make people experience rare peace.

When Mitsuru Hashima stepped into the library, he skillfully walked through rows of bookshelves towards his destination.

Soon I saw the gray-haired girl sitting there. She was reading a book with her head down, and her aura was calm and gentle.

"Shiina-san."

The boy greeted the other person in a low voice and sat down across the table.

"Good afternoon, Hashima-san."

Shiina Hikaru greeted Hashima Hikaru with a smile. Although she had been reading with her head down, when she heard the familiar footsteps, the girl immediately knew who was coming and a warm feeling of joy arose in her heart.

"I've already finished reading the book I read last time, but I haven't decided on a book for today yet," Hashima Hikaru said familiarly, his tone relaxed. "Does Shiina-san have any other recommendations?"

"Today... I recommend this one."

Shiina Hiyori pulled out a book with a black and red cover from a pile of books nearby, and handed it to Hashima Hikaru with a smile, explaining, "This is 'The Magpie Murder Case'. I just finished reading it a while ago. I think it's quite good."

"Really? What kind of trick is this?"

Hikaru Hashima smiled and reached out to take the book. There was a picture of a uniquely shaped bird on the cover, with a bloody blade in its mouth. Combined with the large red and black background, it gave people a unique impact. If you were a mystery fan, your interest would be piqued instantly.

"It's a ruse that uses fairy tales or legends to conceal the true purpose of the crime," Shiina Hiyori explained slowly. "That's all I can say. The rest of the fun is up to Hashima-san to discover on his own."

"Well, I will go and see it with this expectation."

Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly. His communication with Shiina Hiyori during this period was like this. There was no need for complicated flattery or flattery. They were just simply discussing mystery novels and various books, so as to slowly increase her stock price.

However, just as he opened the book "Magpie Murder Case" and read for a while, a new figure suddenly appeared in front of him. When he looked up, it was Ibuki Mio.

"Hashima, is it you?"

The pretty girl with short hair was now sitting next to Shiina Hiyori, staring at Hashima Hikaru's face with an unfriendly expression.

The boy placed the bookmark on the page he was reading and asked with a hint of confusion: "Me? What's wrong with me? Did something happen?"

"Hmph, I've always wondered why Shiina would always bring her schoolbag to the library. She always used to finish her reading in the library before leaving."

"So I guessed she might have brought these books to someone, but I didn't expect it to be you?"

Ibuki's face was filled with suspicion, and he said in a harsh tone, "Did you deliberately approach Shiina to get information from our class?"

"No, Hashima-san and I are just fellow reasoning enthusiasts. He didn't try to find out any information about our class." The gray-haired girl explained to Ibuki helplessly.

"And why did you suddenly come to the library today, Ibuki-san? Didn't you say before that you didn't like coming here?"

"I'm just worried about you. This guy is a liar who never tells the truth. Shiina, you must not be fooled by him."

Ibuki Mio still remembers very clearly the plan to assassinate Ryuuen and the subsequent hidden rules for selling the school. Both of these things were arranged by this guy.

"You're making a false accusation, Ibuki-san."

Hashima Hikaru wasn't angry. He glanced at Shiina Hiyori and said calmly, "Shiina and I met here by chance. Later we found out that we both like mystery novels, so I borrowed some from him."

"Yes, Ibuki-san, don't get me wrong, we are just book friends." Although the gray-haired girl had a quiet and elegant aura, her tone was obviously firm when she said this, which made Ibuki Mio next to her understand the meaning in her eyes.

"is it?"

Ibuki still trusts Shiina quite a bit. After all, she has a good brain and has a good say among the girls in Class D. She currently plays a very important assistant role to the short-haired girl in the class.

"Yes, Ibuki-san, please don't treat me like a bad person."

Hashima Hikaru shrugged, and after glancing at the other person's expression, he continued, "Anyway, I'm here to read. If you don't believe me, you can stay and watch."

Although a third person appeared here, the boy felt that he was raising Shiina's stock price through his identity as a fellow mystery novel enthusiast. He only needed to maintain this mode of communication with her. There was no need to add anything unnecessary. It didn't matter if someone saw him. It would not affect the other person's feelings at all.

"That's good. I have nothing to do today, so I'll stay here and see what you want to do."

Ibuki Mio came up to Shiina Hiyori and borrowed a book from her, then spread the book out on the table and started reading. Hashima Hikaru and Shiina Hiyori looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

Although this girl has a quick temper, she is not a person with bad character. Neither Shiina nor Hashima Hikaru hates her.

"Whatever you want."

The boy had no objection to this. He lowered his head and started reading "The Magpie Murder Case" which Shiina had just recommended. He was soon immersed in the plot.

After Shiina Hikaru took a look at Hashima Hikaru's expression, he also lowered his head and began to read the book in his hand. The atmosphere became quiet for a while.

Ibuki Mio, who was ignored by the two, was also reading a book, but she couldn't concentrate after a while.

The short-haired girl's gaze fell on Hikaru Hashima opposite her again, and her belief became more firm in her heart.

[I will keep a close eye on you and will never allow Shiina-san to be deceived by you! ]
