When the dismissal bell rang, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami stood up together. As the final step of the point recovery plan, everyone understood the importance of today's action, and each face was serious.
"Hashima-kun, today is the last step. Do your best!"
"Yes," Hashima Hikaru looked at the Class B students in front of him and said solemnly, "No matter what, today is the final stop. As long as we complete this point collection, we'll be one step closer to the 20 million individual point plan."
"Ichinose and I will do our best. Please trust us."
"Don't worry, Hashima-kun. After you come back, we'll hold a celebration party for you. This time, we'll make it grand." Shibata seemed very happy, although they were all minors and couldn't drink alcohol, but he had already thought of ways to tease Hashima Hikaru .
"Yes, Ichinose -san and Hashima-kun are the most important members of Class B," Ando's pretty face was filled with a bright smile. "For the upcoming celebration, we'll choose the best place. Look forward to your triumph."
"Please do your best, Hashima-kun, Ichinose -san!"
The Class B students watched as the two left the classroom. As long as they successfully recovered this 1 million individual points today, the worry that had been hanging over them would finally be lifted.
After leaving the classroom, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami quickly arrived at the door of Class C. Just now, Ichinose had already contacted Ibuki, and the other party's tone was very confident, telling them to come directly.
Upon entering Class C's classroom, the two finally understood why Ibuki had been so confident. She was standing on the podium, and apart from the three empty seats due to suspensions, the rest of the classroom was full.
Behind Ibuki stood an extremely eye-catching figure, making it impossible to ignore his presence.
He was a black-skinned student with a buzz cut, and his height was extremely imposing. The petite Ibuki standing beside him looked like a small animal. His face showed no expression, and combined with his muscular build and cold aura, he easily intimidated others.
Wow, this must be Yamada-kun, whom Ryūen couldn't defeat. This is ridiculous. Is he really a high school student?
"You're here. Come on in."
Seeing Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami enter, Ibuki immediately greeted them. After receiving Ichinose 's message, she immediately realized that this must be the important matter Hashima had mentioned before.
After all, the topic of colluding to accuse Ryūen was what had attracted her to join in the first place.
"Good afternoon, Ibuki-san."
Ichinose Honami smiled and greeted the short-haired girl in front of her, while Hashima Hikaru 's gaze fell on the heavyweight figure behind Ibuki.
"This should be Yamada-kun, right? Ibuki-san, could you explain the current situation?"
"Hmph, you're quite sharp. Want to guess?"
Ibuki crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at the boy who had left a deep impression on her. His cunning behavior was still fresh in her memory.
"Hmm..." Hashima Hikaru glanced at Ibuki's expression and then looked around at the other Class C students, suddenly realizing something. "Ibuki-san, could it be that you're now the class leader of Class C?"
"..."
She didn't expect him to guess so quickly. Ibuki pouted, somewhat unhappy, and said, "You're really sharp. That's right, I'm now the class leader of Class C, and I have two assistants."
"One is Yamada-kun," the girl pointed to the towering figure behind her, then stretched out her hand to point to a seated gray-haired girl, "and the other is Hiyori-san."
Following her direction, Hashima Hikaru saw the girl with a gentle demeanor. Her face was soft, and since she was Ibuki's assistant, her status in Class C must also be high.
At this moment, the system panel emitted a new prompt sound.
[Ding! Hiyori Stock has gone live!]
[Current Price: 30]
[Issued Quantity: 3000 Shares]
"?"
Hashima Hikaru 's expression changed slightly. He instinctively looked again at the gray-haired girl sitting in her seat. Her demeanor was very gentle, and since she was Ibuki's assistant, her status in Class C must be quite high.
"What are you looking at? If you have something to say, just say it. Everyone's here."
Ibuki's voice interrupted Hashima Hikaru 's thoughts. He quickly realized that the focus now wasn't on this, so he suppressed his urge to investigate Hashima Hikaru further and turned to Ibuki.
"It seems that after getting Ryūen suspended, you've done a lot."
Initially, he had invited Ibuki to participate in the secret photography plan to get Ryūen suspended, which would make it easier for him to come to Class C to sell the rules and also create a time difference to reduce Ryūen's influence in Class C.
Now, with Ryūen suspended and unable to enter the classroom, even if he had previously controlled many people through violence, it was useless. The anti-Ryūen faction in Class C had successfully risen to power.
Once Ryūen returned, it would be difficult for him to regain control of the class.
"After getting that guy suspended, Yamada-kun came to find me and asked me to become the class leader." Ibuki's expression was somewhat helpless. She had no interest in being the class leader and was essentially forced into the role.
"Hashima-san also said that since I successfully stopped Ryūen's violence, becoming the class leader was the will of the people, so I had no choice but to agree."
"That's great. I think Ibuki-san is amazing and will definitely be able to protect the students of Class C from violence." Upon hearing her words, Ichinose seemed extremely happy.
Ibuki was somewhat unaccustomed to Ichinose 's enthusiastic praise and quickly changed the subject: "Cough, anyway, if you have something to say, just say it. Everyone's here."
"Alright, since Class C has been integrated by Ibuki-san, it saves me the trouble of persuading everyone."
Hashima Hikaru once again looked at the towering figure standing behind Ibuki, Yamada Albert. He seemed to have become the girl's follower, which was why he was able to help her integrate Class C. After all, this was someone even Ryūen couldn't defeat. Just standing there was enough to impose immense pressure.
"So, everyone, please look this way. Let me introduce myself first. I am Hashima Hikaru from Class B, Year One, and this is Ichinose Honami."
"Hello, everyone." The pink-haired girl smiled and greeted everyone behind Hashima Hikaru .
"We've come here today to discuss a transaction with the students of Class C. The transaction involves the school's hidden rules."
Since it was the last class, there was no need for a contract prohibiting secondary transactions. They just needed to convince them to pay up, and then they could do whatever they wanted afterward.
"Hidden rules?"
Upon hearing this, Ibuki's pretty face changed slightly, and she quickly asked, "What do you know?"
"Please take a look at this first."
This time, Hashima Hikaru didn't take out the previous contract prohibiting the secondary sale of hidden rules but instead handed over a newly printed transaction voucher.
The voucher was still obtained from Teacher Miyaji. It showed the record of Class B initially gathering 2 million individual points to purchase the hidden rules, along with the school's seal, indicating that the transaction complied with school regulations.
"Our class previously spent 2 million individual points to purchase the school's hidden rules. Now, we're selling them to you at half price, 1 million. This voucher has the school's seal, proving that what we're saying is true. There are many hidden rules, and Class C won't be at a disadvantage."
"As for whether you agree to the transaction, you can discuss it among yourselves."
"..."
Ibuki took the voucher and quickly confirmed that it indeed had the same seal as the admission letter and that the 2 million points had been transferred to the account of Class B's homeroom teacher, Miyaji.
This meant one thing: there were indeed hidden rules in the school, and they were worth 2 million points.
"...We need to discuss this and then give you an answer."
"Sure."
