Katsuragi Kōhei glanced at Sakayanagi standing across from him, and after a moment's thought, he nodded: "I agree with Mr. Hashima's suggestion."

"What's your opinion, Sakayanagi?"

"Then I agree. I wonder if there is anything you want to discuss with us?" Arisu Sakayanagi shifted his gaze to Hikaru Hashima and Honami Ichinose.

"Please take a look at this first." Hashima Hikaru signaled Ichinose Honami to separate the stack of contracts in his hand into two sheets, one to Katsuragi Kohei and the other to Sakayanagi Arisu.

After they finished reading the terms of the contract, Katsuragi Kōhei's face suddenly changed, while Sakayanagi Arisu on the other side smiled. The two showed completely different expressions.

"By negotiation, you mean to ask our class A to sell the school's hidden rules and prohibit any secondary sales?"

"Yes, Katsuragi-san," Hashima Hikaru glanced at Katsuragi Kōhei, then turned to look at the students in Class A. "Although today is the first day of school, the school has already leaked enough information. Don't you realize that something is wrong with this school?"

"What does it mean?"

Although Kōhei Katsuragi is a steady person, he couldn't help but sound a little impatient after hearing the news.

"Hashima-san is saying that someone in his class has already solved the school puzzle and obtained the answer," Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly walked towards Hashima Hikaru, saying as he walked, "and the person who solved the puzzle first wants to tell the others the answer and get a reward."

"Am I right, Hashima-san?"

Arisu Sakayanagi stopped. She was now very close to Hikaru Hashima. The boy could even smell the faint fragrance from her.

"That's right," Hashima Hikaru stared into the purple eyes of the silver-haired girl in front of him and said slowly, "Of course, the answer was obtained by paying private points, and we are now willing to sell this information to you."

"This contract is the certification we have obtained."

Ichinose Honami followed suit and added, "By presenting this contract, we are proving to Sakayanagi-san and Katsuragi-san that the school has approved the Hidden Rules for Class B."

"I see."

Katsuragi Kohei nodded. The contract was printed with the school's official seal, the same as the one on the admission letter, so it was unlikely to be forged.

"Some of the things that happened today did make me feel that something was wrong with this school, but I didn't expect that this was a puzzle set by the school."

Katsuragi, a steady-minded man, was not one to save face, so he quickly admitted his shortcomings and asked Hashima Hikaru, "So, how much are you selling the rules for?"

"One million personal points, no bargaining." Hashima Mitsuru raised a finger and said in a firm tone.

This was the result he had just discussed with Ichinose Honami on the way to move the teaching materials. After all, if he sold it directly for two million, the chance of being rejected would be very high.

Once rejected, the students in Class A may go to the class teacher to confirm the possibility of hidden rules of the school, which is equivalent to giving away information for free.

Therefore, when proposing a price, you must hit the mark and keep the initiative firmly in your hands.

"..."

"Isn't this a bit too expensive?"

The students in Class A had naturally heard the entire conversation. The hot-tempered Yahiko immediately stood up from his seat and shouted, "Are you kidding me?"

"I advise you to be careful with your words and actions. The rules we obtained were obtained through the teacher's channels, and Class B also paid a total of three million personal points."

Hashima Hikaru glanced coldly at Totsuka Yahiko, who had spoken, then turned to Sakayanagi and Katsuragi Kōhei and said, "That's why we need you to sign a contract prohibiting the resale of the rules. We plan to sell all the rules to the remaining three classes and recoup the personal points you paid."

"This way, Class A only needs to spend one-third of the points to buy the hidden rules. What do you think?"

"I understand," Katsuragi Kohei quickly understood his plan. "After the deal is completed, your Class B can share the cost of purchasing the rules with the three classes, but your class won't have to pay, right?"

"Since we can be the first to guess the answer, why not get paid?"

Hashima Hikaru looked directly into the other person's eyes and remained firm in his attitude.

He's gambling.

Bet that the other party will believe your lies.

Chapter 9 The first transaction is completed

Just as Hashima Hikaru and Katsuragi were arguing with each other, Ichinose Honami felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

When she heard Mitsuru Hashima lie that he bought the rules for three million, the girl panicked. After all, this matter was easy to verify.

But soon Ichinose discovered that although Hashima Hikaru was lying, there was no flaw in his expression. Instead, he acted as if he was right, as if he was really right.

"If it's one million, then everyone in Class A will have to pay 25,000 personal points. This price is acceptable," Katsuragi turned to look at Sakayanagi Arisu, "What's your answer, Sakayanagi?"

"I agree with Hashima-san. This is a very good deal," Sakayanagi Arisu nodded slightly. "I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to hesitate between paying three million and one million."

"That's good."

Although Katsuragi and Sakayanagi don't get along, as a student in Class A, his observation and analytical skills are also excellent, so he understands that if the school really has hidden rules, the sooner they are revealed, the better.

So he immediately began to mobilize some of the supporters he had gathered in Class A today to collect points from his classmates. However, when Hashima Hikaru looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, he found that the girl with the crutches did not move, but was in a daze.

Ichinose Honami couldn't help but ask, "Sakayanagi-san? Don't you need to help collect points?"

"Let Katsuragi-san handle this kind of physical work. The students in our discussion class have already heard what we said. They can make the best judgment and won't interfere and refuse to pay the points."

"I see. It seems Sakayanagi-san knows everyone in Class A quite well."

Through some things that just happened, Hashima Hikaru can at least draw a very key message, that is, although the students in Class A have high overall qualities, the two most popular students in their class are not harmonious, and even put the struggle for control of the class openly.

This is undoubtedly good news. At least there is no need to worry about Class A uniting and firmly occupying the first place. This can bring more opportunities for Class B.

Not long after, Katsuragi had finished collecting the points. After he came over, Hashima Hikaru signaled Ichinose to hand over the contract in his hand.

"Before the transaction, all of you in Class A must sign this contract. Then we can proceed to the next step of the transaction regarding the rules and points."

The contract that Hikaru Hashima printed out in Hoshinomiya Chie's office was very simple. The content of the contract stated that after Class B sold the Depth Rules to Class A for one million private points, all students in Class A were prohibited from reselling the rules.

To be on the safe side, Hashima Hikaru also added a rule prohibiting students in Class A from discussing the depth rules with students from other classes.

For those who violate the rules, the school will impose the most severe punishment - expulsion.

When all the steps were completed, Mitsuru Hashima looked at the stack of signed contracts in front of him, and then took out the notebook that recorded the rules.

"Pay the money and deliver the goods."

Hashima Hikaru looked at the bald boy in front of him, then patted Ichinose Honami on the shoulder and said, "Ichinose-san, go collect the points and have Katsuragi-san transfer them to your account."

"Okay, I know."

Ichinose Honami immediately took out her cell phone and showed her student ID.

Katsuragi quickly completed the operation on his phone, and then confirmed, "Ichinose-san, I have transferred the points to you."

"let me see."

Ichinose Honami opened her student ID card and saw the 105 million personal points displayed on the screen. The heavy stone in the girl's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Hashima-san, Class A's points have been transferred."

"Ok."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, handed the school rules notebook he had just organized to Katsuragi, and prepared to return to the classroom with Ichinose Honami.

"Please wait a moment, Hashima-san."

At this moment, Sakayanagi Arisu, who had been watching Katsuragi collecting points and handing out contracts in class, finally spoke. She locked her violet eyes on the boy's figure and slowly said, "I want to know who was the first person in Class B to realize that the school had hidden rules?"

"Is it you, or Ichinose-san next to you?"

Hashima Hikaru met Sakayanagi's gaze. After a moment's contemplation, he answered directly, "It's me. I wonder what Sakayanagi-san wants to teach you?"

"I don't deserve your advice, I just think Hashima-san is very special. I'm sure we'll have more interactions."

A dignified smile suddenly appeared on Sakayanagi Arisu's little face.

"I thought so too. We'll excuse ourselves now. You two can inform the class of the rules."

Hikaru Hashima didn't plan to stay in Class A's classroom any longer. He had gained enough from this trip, not only personal points, but also information about Class A.

"Goodbye, everyone."

Ichinose Honami waved to the students in Class A and left the classroom following Hashima Hikaru.

After the two figures completely disappeared in the corridor, Arisu Sakayanagi and Kōhei Katsuragi began to check the notebook left by Hikaru Hashima.

Then, all the information about Tokyo High School began to subvert the imagination of everyone in Class A.

A school where meritocracy reigns supreme, class evaluation scores and the role of personal points, and a future where only one class can graduate.

When these rules were completely revealed in Class A, the quick-witted Kōhei Katsuragi immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Since the school adheres to the class competition system, why would Class B be so kind as to sell the rules to us? There must be something wrong."

"What do you think, Katsuragi-san?"

After reading the in-depth rules of the school, Arisu Sakayanagi's face did not show much emotion, and she still looked like a calm little princess.

"My thought is that if the school really operates according to this rule, then this transaction must not be that simple. Maybe they still have some reservations about us."

"That makes sense, but I think we should deal with something else now." After going over the depth rules in his mind, Sakayanagi Arisu's tone became aggressive again. "Katsuragi-kun, don't forget, our class leaders for Class A haven't been chosen yet, right?"

"..."

"Now that we know the in-depth rules of the school, Class A should be led by an outstanding person. This way, they can maintain their advantage in future class competitions and ultimately, everyone can graduate successfully."

Katsuragi suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth, "Sakayanagi-san thinks you are the one?"

"Of course, if Hashima-san just now is rated an A by me, Katsuragi-san can only be ranked C."

"Then please wait and see, Sakayanagi-san. I will tell you who is the most suitable leader for Class A."

"Haha, I don't think I will lose."

Chapter 10 New Student Liaison Meeting

When Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami returned to Class B, the classroom suddenly became lively.

"It's Hashima-san and Ichinose-san."

"You're back!"

"How's it going? Was the transaction successful?"

When they saw the two of them walk into the classroom, the classmates immediately surrounded them. They were all very concerned about the outcome of this first transaction.

"Of course it was a huge success!" Ichinose Honami pulled out her phone, showed everyone the numbers on her student ID, and said with a satisfied smile, "We sold the rules to Class A and earned one million personal points."

"Great! I knew I was right to trust Hashima-san and Ichinose-san."

"Yeah, it's great to be able to make it."

"But why is it one million? Didn't we pay two million?"

Someone raised his or her doubts, but was quickly interrupted by the scolding of the classmates next to him or her.

"It's not just a one-time sale. There are also Class C and Class D. I believe Hashima-san must have his reasons."

Seeing that the students were confused about the price, Hashima Hikaru simply explained, "Setting the price at one million was actually an excuse to convince them of Class B's sincerity. My explanation is that Class B spent three million to purchase the rules."

"Then each class will sell it once and recycle the three million. This way, they will believe that we are only trying to recoup our investment, not just to earn points."

"After all, the students in Class A are all very smart. If they ask me why I want to sell the rules, how should I explain it?" Hashima Mitsuru spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Hahaha, that's it."

"Hashima-san has a really smart brain!"

After hearing the explanation, all the students from Class B who gathered around burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the classroom was quite cheerful.

"Well, how about I distribute the points among everyone now?" Ichinose Honami looked at the personal points on her phone. The amount was too much, and she felt a little uneasy. "After all, the two million to buy the rules was pooled by our classmates, so of course it has to be divided equally."

"Don't worry, Ichinose-san," Shibata Sa stopped Ichinose's plan and advised, "Judging from Hashima-san's plan, aren't there still two classes that haven't sold the rules yet? How about we wait until everything is finished before dividing the points?"

"Shibata-san is right. Let's give the points to Ichinose-san for safekeeping. We still have 50,000 anyway."

"Yeah, if it weren't for Hashima-san and Ichinose-san, we wouldn't be able to get the million back."

The students in Class B are all very easy-going. For them, unity among classmates is the most important thing at the moment, so they reached a consensus quickly.

Seeing everyone's trust in her, Ichinose Honami was deeply moved. A determined look appeared on her pretty face, and she said with all her might, "Thank you for your trust in me. I will definitely not let you down and will work hard to lead Class B forward!"

Hashima Hikaru stared at the resolute expression on Ichinose's face and thought that he had made the right decision to recommend her to be the class leader. Her trustworthy aura was really useful.

Whether it is uniting classmates or being a counting piggy bank, she can do it to the best of her ability.

Thinking of this, Hikaru Hashima looked at his system panel again, and sure enough, a new prompt popped up.

[Help the class earn 10 million personal points. Ichinose Honami's trust in you has increased. Ichinose Honami's stock price has increased by 70 points. Current stock price: ]

Great, it looks like I’ll be able to break through the 100 mark soon, and then I can cash out and buy items in the store.
