Hashima Hikaru's tone was calm.

"If there really are second-year students who go to your place to participate in the challenge, it's fine if they earn points, but if the majority of them lose money, they will definitely come to you."

"This is a club activity that complies with regulations. Can Senior Nanyun forcibly cancel our club?"

A smile appeared on Hashima Hikaru's lips. Guilongyuan's words actually aroused the boy's interest. If Nanyun really did this, he would definitely leave some evidence.

"Hahaha, you have a pretty good attitude, Hashima-kun."

After understanding the deeper meaning behind the boy's words, Guilongyuan laughed heartily. She reached out and took a flyer from Yudao Guang's hand, saying with great satisfaction, "Then please keep it up. I will promote you in our Class B."

"Why would Senior Guilongyuan help me?"

"If you want to know the reason..."

The silver-haired girl pondered for a moment, then spoke her mind without reservation: "Because I'm really looking forward to you facing off against Nan Yun. It would provide me with a lot of fun."

"taste?"

Hashima Hikaru raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, this school is so boring. I have a hard time every day."

Guilongyuan Fenghua shook her phone at Yudao Guang and said in a very intimate tone, "Then do it according to your idea. If you still need help, you can contact me at any time, junior brother~"

"Thank you, Guilongyuan Senior."

"No need to thank me, just let me see how you perform."

The tall, silver-haired girl turned and left with big strides. She waved her arms, her back looking extremely free and easy.

After Kiryuin Kaedeka's back was completely out of sight, Horikita Suzune raised her doubts.

"Hashima-san has known this senior for a long time?"

"It was just a coincidence, but I'm not particularly familiar with her, so I was a little surprised by her attitude."

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin. "Her warning is interesting, though. What does Horikita-san think?"

"She clearly saw our intention, but she didn't expose it."

The black-haired girl was a little confused, "Why is that?"

"Didn't Senior from Guilongyuan just tell you the answer?"

Hashima Hikaru spread his hands and said helplessly, "She wanted to see if I would bow to Nan Yun."

"If I remember correctly, this Nanyun-senpai should be the vice-president of the student council. He will take over from me..."

Horikita Suzune paused for a moment, then continued, "Take over the position of student council president."

"Yes, but unfortunately, his relationship with Horikita-senpai is a bit tricky."

"What do you mean?"

After hearing this, Horikita Suzune's reaction was even greater than before. The girl's expression was solemn, and she asked in a deep voice: "Does Hashima-san know any information?"

"I know some things, but I can't tell you these things now unless I find the right time."

"When?"

"The right time is not decided by me alone."

Hashima Hikaru smiled, looked at the black-haired girl's delicate face and said slowly: "If Horikita-san is anxious, you can ask Horikita-senpai yourself. I think he might be able to tell you."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Horikita Suzune looked up into Hashima Hikaru's eyes: "Can't you tell me now?"

"After all, we are currently just partners, not true companions."

Hashima Hikaru's tone lifted, and he said with a smile, "Horikita-san should understand the distance between partners and companions."

"...never mind, let's go promote it."

Horikita Suzune didn't continue what he said, but turned around indifferently.

She doesn't need a companion now, nor does she want one.

"I'm looking forward to Horikita-san's attitude changing. Let's wait and see."

Hashima Hikaru followed the girl with a meaningful smile on his lips.

Chapter 258: Horikita Manabu is a very useful reinforcement.

In the following time, Hashima Hikaru and Horikita Suzune distributed flyers on the second-year floor. Since Guilongyuan had promised to promote in her second-year Class B, the two of them were busy at the entrances of the remaining Class C and Class D.

Around five o'clock, Hikaru Hashima and Suzune Horikita came to the front of the vending machine. Wanting to see the effect of the promotion, they planned to have a simple dinner and then go directly to the club to see if anyone would come to challenge them.

"I think the news might not spread so quickly today. It should be more lively tomorrow."

Hashima Hikaru leaned back in his chair, taking a bite of bread with fruit cream in it, his posture very relaxed.

"Anyway, let's wait and see."

Horikita Suzune ate the food in her hand elegantly. She glanced at the young man sitting opposite her and couldn't help but think of what he had just said.

[Only if we become partners will you be willing to tell me the information you know? ]

[I... am someone who doesn't need companions.]

【Is it right?】

The girl has always adhered to the principle of independence since she was a child. She has never traveled with anyone, whether studying or eating. However, it is obvious that the person sitting opposite her has shortened the distance between them.

Under the premise of establishing a cooperative relationship, the existence of Hashima Hikaru has become an exception in the girl's life, but Horikita Suzune will not admit it directly. She does not like the other party's attitude, so she must not take the initiative to let go.

"About that. I'll probably stay with Horikita until around seven, and then I'll leave."

Hashima Hikaru checked his phone and saw that Ichinose had sent him a text message.

"I don't need you to accompany me, Hashima-san. If you need anything, you can leave first."

Horikita Suzune wiped her mouth with a tissue, her expression very indifferent.

"Don't say that. We are now partners in the United Front. I still own half of the points I earn. Of course, I can't be so disloyal."

Hashima Hikaru smiled and shook his head, "So I will continue to accompany Horikita-san."

"up to you."

The black-haired girl took out the exercise book from her schoolbag. Since the effect of the publicity did not take effect so quickly, she planned to take some time to study for a while and use her time more efficiently.

After seeing that the girl had already started studying, Hashima Hikaru didn't continue talking to her.

If you want to increase the stock price of the aloof Horikita-san, many things cannot be rushed and must be done step by step according to the routine.

After about ten minutes of silence, there was a knock on the club's door. When the boy opened it, he found that it was the second-year students who came to participate in the challenge.

As a result, there was once again a long queue at the entrance of the Potential Development Department. Although it was not as grand as the first year when points were harvested, there were indeed quite a few people coming.

Anyway, there are people in the second grade who are short of numbers. After this activity was publicized, dozens of people with ideas came.

During this round of point harvesting, Mitsuru Ushima always remembered Guilongyuan's words. He did not make any adjustments and continued to supervise according to the original ideas. Only about one in ten people could get the reward.

However, this time the points harvesting was not as smooth as before. After more than an hour, a person the young man expected, Nan Yunya, appeared at the entrance of the club.

The blond student union vice president said solemnly after seeing that these people were all second-year students.

"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something to discuss with the organizer here. Could you please pause the challenge for now?"

Nan Yunya issued his instructions. As a highly authoritative person in the second grade, his words quickly took effect. The students in the queue immediately parted to both sides, leaving a path for him to pass through.

"Hey, Senior Nanyun, why are you here?"

Hashima Hikaru won with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, there are some things I want to tell you. Could you please pause your challenge activities for a moment, Hashima-kun?"

Nan Yunya pretended to be extremely polite, but she was already furious inside.

By collecting points from the second-year students through various wishes and promises, and then using these points for multiple rounds of operations, he finally connected a huge network of interests. This was the basis for Nan Yun to control the second grade.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot tolerate others harvesting the points of second-grade students, and he cannot allow anyone to make money from this activity, as that will affect his control.

This is exactly what the Sudoku challenge activity is doing. After briefly going over the rules, Nan Yunya understood the meaning of it on the spot.

"Of course no problem, we can pause now."

Hashima Hikaru glanced at Horikita Suzune. The girl reacted quickly and immediately stood up to close the door of the club.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Hashima-san."

After seeing the door closed, the blond man put on a forced smile and said to Hashima Hikaru, "But your activity doesn't seem to follow the rules."

"We held the event after applying for it."

Hashima Hikaru looked confused and explained to him, "Is there some missing paperwork?"

"I mean……"

Nan Yunya knew that the other party was playing dumb, and her tone instantly turned cold. "It doesn't matter what you do in the first grade, but don't bring it up in the second grade."

"Don't you think you're going a bit too far, Hashima-kun?"

Faced with this question, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but look at Hashima Hikaru's face, wondering how he would answer.

"But our activity is to discover whether everyone has a talent for Sudoku. Sophomores are naturally included. Is this a violation?"

Hashima Hikaru continued to act stupid, he wanted to see how tolerant Nanyun Masa was.

"Don't act stupid, Hashima-kun!"

Nan Yunya's expression darkened, and she said coldly, "Actually, I really admire your abilities. If possible, I'd even like to have you take over as my vice president. But before that, I hope you can understand one thing: everyone in this school needs to abide by the rules, whether it's you or me."

"what do you mean?"

"First suspend your activities, then issue a notice prohibiting all students except first graders from attending."

Nanyun Miya stared at Hashima Hikaru's face and spoke slowly, "This is my friendly advice. I hope Hashima-kun understands my intentions."

"If I agree, does what Nanyun-senpai just said really count?"

After hearing what the boy said, Nanyun Ya's tense expression relaxed a little. He smiled and softened his tone. "Of course, when I take over as student council president, I will choose someone from a shortlist to become vice president. Your name is on the shortlist, Hashima-kun."

"I see."

Hashima Hikaru nodded, then he continued: "What if I refuse?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Nanyun Miyabi forced an unpleasant smile onto her face. "I believe that Hashima-san is a smart person and you will make the right decision."

"Hmm... I think there's actually a solution to this problem."

Hashima Mitsuru smiled. It was time for another person to step forward. After all, he was still accumulating strength. It was not yet time for him to completely turn against Nan Yunya. He had to at least save face.

"what way?"

"Horikita-senpai just sent me a message. He's on his way here."

Hashima Hikaru held up his phone screen with an innocent smile on his face. "It seems that Horikita-senpai is very interested in this Sudoku challenge, so he contacted me."

"Nan Yun-senpai, do you think we should wait for the president to come? After all, he's also a student outside of the first year."

"..."

Chapter 259: Horikita Manabu: Suzune, thank you for your help.

Even though it had been less than two months since Nan Yun Masa took over as student council president, he was still unwilling to have an open conflict with Horikita Manabu at this time. After all, as the successor, he had always claimed to win people over with virtue.

After hearing Hashima Hikaru bring out Horikita Manabu, the blond man suppressed his anger and said with a forced smile: "Is Horikita-senpai really coming? This is something new."

"Yeah, I'm surprised too."

Mitsuru Hashima looked at the second-year students who had not left yet. If everything went well, he might be able to make some money from the senior students.

"Hashima-san?"

Horikita Suzune, who had heard the conversation between the two, looked straight at the boy sitting in the seat. She frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised and nervous.
