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

"Haha, maybe this is fate."

Hashima Mitsuru smiled faintly. After four months of this semester, he actually had a lot of understanding about the other three classes.

Class B, which was demoted from first place and is currently in internal strife among class leaders, Class C, which rose to third place but has many problem children, and Class D, which has caused many violent incidents and is currently ranked last.

They all have some obvious problems. If they had been assigned to these classes, perhaps the situation would be completely different?

The boy didn't make any deep assumptions in his mind. He just wanted to help Class A always maintain its first-place advantage and graduate successfully.

"Actually, I have a rather unreasonable request. Could you listen to it, Hashima-san?"

Ichinose Honami felt the aura coming from the boy that she was extremely attached to, and a thought in her mind suddenly surfaced, and she couldn't help but say it out loud.

"What request?"

"That is... I can shout... shout..."

Although she had thought so in her heart for a long time, when she actually brought it up, the pink-haired girl's heart began to beat wildly with nervousness, causing her to be stuck in her sentences several times.

"Can I... call Hashima-san by his name?"

After uttering this request, Ichinose Honami's heart instantly rose to her throat, and her little hand clasped in the boy's palm began to sweat uncontrollably.

"this..."

Hashima Hikaru pondered for a moment. In order to better trade stocks, he could not directly confirm an intimate relationship with any woman, otherwise there would be big problems in dealing with the issue of distance.

But given the current situation, it would be too unkind to directly reject Ichinose Honami. In the past few months, he has truly felt the girl's heart of gold, her helpfulness, her understanding, and her delicious cooking skills.

All these things made Hashima Hikaru think of the photos in the [Life Album] that he had unlocked earlier.

Will I marry Ichinose in the future?

Although it is a prediction and not necessarily a 100% certain outcome, it is still possible.

Just when the boy's thoughts were flying away, Ichinose Honami suddenly spoke up and said to settle for the second best. She had learned her lesson after her last love attack was evaded by Hashima Hikaru.

If one of my requests isn't met, then if I take a step back, what will Hashima-san decide?

"If Hashima-san doesn't feel comfortable with this, can I only call your name when we're alone?"

"..."

This sentence was like a perfect step, hitting the angle where Mitsuru Hashima was hesitating just now. If it was just calling the name when they were alone, there would be no problem, and it would not cause trouble to other stock figures.

"Well, well, actually, I think Ichinose-san and I are already pretty close. Calling her by her name should be enough."

The young man smiled lightly and nodded in agreement to the other party's request.

Regardless of what is said, Ichinose Honami is the first stock that I bought after all, so there is no big problem in receiving some special treatment.

"Hmm, then..."

The girl seemed to be brewing her emotions, because she had waited for this moment for too long. After confirming the other party's consent, Ichinose's heart was instantly filled with joy.

"Light." She uttered the syllable softly.

"Well, I'm here."

Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly, a rather gentle expression on his face.

"Light."

"...I'm here."

"Light."

"Are you a child learning pronunciation, Ichinose-san?" the boy said helplessly, "There's no need to keep shouting."

"Hehe, because I'm really happy now. This is a benefit that belongs only to me, so of course I have to enjoy it."

After a while, Ichinose Honami took the initiative and said, "Since I've already called out Hikari's name, shouldn't Hikari also call out mine?"

"..."

"It's a solitary limit too, why don't you give it a try? This way it will be fairer." The girl knew that she was pushing him too far, but she had already made up her mind and would not back down.

"Ok."

Hashima Hikaru was a little helpless with her. After all, she was just calling her name when they were alone, so it wasn't a big deal.

"So...Hunami?"

The boy wasn't shy at all, just a little unfamiliar. After all, he usually didn't call his classmates by their names. Even Shibata and Kanzaki, with whom he had a good relationship, he only called them by their surnames.

"Yeah, I'm here."

The pink-haired girl squeezed Hashima Hikaru's hand with an extremely sweet smile on her face.

Although they cannot become lovers now, Ichinose Honami believes that this day is not too far away.

"We've stayed here long enough, right? Shouldn't we go back? It's almost nine o'clock now, and we should all get some rest. We still have to collect supplies and explore the island tomorrow."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the watch given by the teacher, which showed the current time.

"Well, let's go back together."

The two stood up from the hillside and returned to the camp below together.

Glancing at the girl's satisfied face, the boy saw two new prompts pop up in the system bar.

Thanks to your help, Class A successfully passed the first day of the special exam and was named Class B's class leader. Ichinose Honami has become increasingly dependent on you. Ichinose Honami's stock price has risen by 10 points and is currently trading at 180.

Being able to call each other by name when you're alone is very important to Ichinose Honoha. His possessiveness towards you has only intensified. Ichinose Honoha's stock price has increased by 20 points, and is currently trading at 200.

"hiss..."

Looking at the two new prompts that popped up, Hikaru Hashima's expression instantly became a little strange.

Although the stock price rising to 200 did break the historical record, the funds that could be exchanged for the Ichinose Honami shares he held increased by another level.

But this stronger possessiveness is not a good thing no matter how you think about it, right?

Although the young man has done a lot to shorten the distance between them, the other stock characters have not yet shown such characteristics. Most of them just long for companionship.

"I have a feeling...something bad might happen."

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin. No matter what, Ichinose Honami would always be the girl closest to him, and this would not change.

Regardless of whether any problems might arise, nothing should happen before a romantic relationship is established.

Right, is that right?

After entering the camp, the two, as the core figures with the final say in the class, began to call on other students to prepare to rest. Thanks to everyone's efforts, the camp has become quite comfortable, so everyone can spend a peaceful night today.

However, in front of everyone, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami naturally needed to restore their normal titles as agreed.

"Goodnight, Hashima-san."

"Good night, Ichinose-san."

Chapter 153 Horikita Suzune's Abnormal Expression

The next morning, the sun's rays shone on Class A's camp.

The two students selected yesterday as wake-up supervisors woke up everyone else one by one in the tent. After all, roll call is required in the morning, and not being allowed to stay in bed is also a test for the students.

After the roll call, the assigned cooks began to prepare breakfast using kitchen utensils according to yesterday's rhythm, because they would need to explore the island and collect supplies later. It would be very dangerous to do physical labor on an empty stomach.

The students sitting around having breakfast all turned their attention to Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami who were sitting in the middle. As the core figures in the class, they would be the ones giving orders for the exam the next day.

"Today, let's proceed with our plan step by step," Hikaru Hashima said calmly, taking a sip of water and scanning the class. "The base our team discovered yesterday has already been occupied by Class B, so we can temporarily abandon it. Our goal is to continue exploring the remaining bases on the island."

A total of three teams were sent out yesterday. Except for Mitsuru Hashima and his team, the open space that Ryuji Kanzaki's team went to was not a stronghold, but an open camp opened up by humans, so they could only collect some supplies and bring back.

Although the Shibata team that returned last found a stronghold, it happened that the stronghold had been occupied by other classes. What was even more frustrating was that although the stronghold was occupied, there was no one inside.

According to the rules, since the base has been occupied, members of other classes cannot use it, even if there is no one there, otherwise it will be considered a violation.

As a result, Shibata, who stayed there to gather intelligence, had no way out. He could only take the other two classmates to stay nearby to see if he could find the members of the base class who came to collect supplies, so that they would finally return to the camp.

"And besides the stronghold, we have another thing to do."

The young man held up the map in the handbook and explained to everyone, "This uninhabited island has a lot of height differences. So, in addition to searching for the base, you can also find some high places to look out. You might be able to spot the camps of other classes."

"After all, we need to light a fire in the camp, and as long as we light a fire, it will definitely leave traces, which can help us confirm the distance between them and our camp."

"After confirming the distance, can we better investigate their leader?" Shibata raised his hand. He had always been concerned about yesterday's defeat and thought that he had to get back at them.

"Yes."

Hashima Hikaru nodded, looked at Ichinose Honami beside him, and said, "The core of our class's current operations still revolves around discovering the names of the leaders of other classes. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The students in the camp immediately answered in unison. Yesterday, Hikaru Hashima had already informed everyone of the name of the Class B leader, so everyone was now full of enthusiasm.

"Then carry out the plan according to the personnel allocation. Disband."

After giving the order, Mitsuru Hashima reached out and helped Ichinose Ho up from the ground. Today, just like yesterday, they continued to explore the base and collect intelligence as members of the same team.

Ando Sayo, who was on the same team yesterday, suddenly said this morning that she wanted to join someone else's group. Although the boy didn't quite understand the reason, he didn't think it mattered, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami set out from the camp again, this time they changed direction, which was different from the route they took yesterday.

As they were walking in the forest, the two of them were very close to each other, and since they were alone, Ichinose Honami naturally began to call the boy by his name.

"Guang, come here and take a look. Is this a special plant?" The girl squatted down. She found a rather different plant under a tree, so she immediately called out the other person's name.

"Really? Let me see."

After mastering [Wild Survival (Master)], Hikaru Hashima has a fairly comprehensive understanding of the various plants growing in the forest. As long as he can find something useful, he may be able to maximize the use of test points.

"This... seems to be honeysuckle." The boy touched the rhizome of the plant, then picked it up and smelled it, and finally made his own judgment.

"Honeysuckle? What can it be used for?"

"Haha, if we combine it with mint or burdock, we might be able to make a herbal remedy for colds." Hashima Hikaru dug up all the honeysuckle he had found and said to the girl next to him, "Although the students in our class are still relatively healthy, we still have six days. If we can make a herbal remedy for colds, we can have it on hand for emergencies."

"I see." The girl nodded and carefully helped Mitsuru Hashima collect all the honeysuckle.

"Keep exploring."

The two continued walking along the road, keeping an eye out for the various herbs and plants along the roadside.

After walking for about ten minutes, under a bush, Ichinose Honami seemed to notice some special plants and quickly called out to the boy in front.

"Guang, come over here and take a look. Is this the perilla leaf you mentioned before? The outermost circle seems to be purple."

"Eh, is this such a coincidence?"

"I think this is most likely perilla leaf. What do you think, Guang?" The pink-haired girl turned her head to look at the profile of Hashima Guang.

"Perhaps you guessed right. It seems we have discovered a new medicinal herb."

Mitsuru Hashima reached out and touched the plants, then began to collect them all. They had prepared bags before leaving, so they could pack a lot.

After walking forward for a while, I met two figures at the corner ahead.

Coincidentally, these two people are acquaintances.

"Hey, Ichinose-san? And Hashima-san!"

After their eyes met, the short-haired Kikyo Kushida greeted the two with a smile, and standing next to her was a black-haired girl with a cold expression, who was Horikita Suzune.

"Kushida-san?"

Ichinose Honami was a little surprised, and after putting the herbs away, Hashima Hikaru was also a little puzzled by the current situation.

Kushida Kikyo...and Horikita Suzune?

Will these two people actually act together?

Knowing the complicated relationship between them, Hikaru Hashima looked a little bewildered, but she still politely replied, "Kushida-san, Horikita-san, good morning."

Kushida responded energetically, "Good morning, Hashima-san. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Good morning."

Although Horikita Suzune didn't like socializing much, she felt it was impolite not to say hello to Hashima Hikaru, so she followed Kushida and spoke.

However, her voice was a little low now, and her original energetic and cold temperament seemed to have dissolved a lot, looking a little weird.

After discovering this, Hashima Hikaru couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

Hiss, is she feeling unwell?
