COTE: Bag And Love System

At nine o'clock at night, Hikaru Hashima opened the door to his dorm room.

　　 Today is another busy day. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, we still managed to recover one million personal points from Class D. Ichinose already has over two million in her hands. After the last Class C ends, this plan will finally come to an end.

　　 Although it's only been eight days since school started, Hashima Hikaru feels like the time has passed exceptionally long. Not only him, but also Ichinose Honami, who works with him, must feel the same way.

　　 Normally, the first month after school starts should be the time for all first-year students to get familiar with the campus and classmates, but this school is special and competition between classes is doomed from the moment classes start.

　　 "Also, is Nagumo really the most troublesome?"

　　Hashima Hikaru leaned back in his chair, thinking about the conversation just now. As the leader of Class A of the second grade and vice president of the student council, Nagumo now has complete control over the entire second grade.

　　 If Horikita Manabu's information is true, it means that he has extremely terrifying resources in his hands. These resources can even allow him to manipulate the students' behavior. After all, no one would go against private points.

　　 The young man stretched out his fingers and gently tapped the edge of the table, thinking intently.

　　 On the other hand, Hashima Hikaru was a little surprised by Horikita Manabu's attitude today. From the only two meetings they had, he felt that the other party should be a person with an extremely deep conspiracy and a heart as deep as the ocean.

　　 It's unlikely that he would reveal all this key information to a first-year student. Not only that, but he also directly agreed to her request to intervene in the student union.

　　 "For Horikita Suzune?"

　　 Hashima Hikaru touched his chin. He could see that Horikita Manabu really cared about his sister and was able to think of that when he asked him to help her grow.

　　 But why is he so rude to Horikita Suzune?

　　 If he hadn't met me yesterday, would he really have slapped me?

　　 Hashima Hikaru was a little confused by this, but the deal had already been closed. Aside from Horikita Suzune, the most important point still fell on Nagumo.

　　 The boy raised his phone, which was showing the page of Horikita Manabu's number. He smiled gently and had already deduced the general idea of the other party.

　　Horikita Manabu's purpose can be divided into two parts: one is to inquire about what Nanyun will do in the future so that she can prepare in advance, and the other is to want her sister to grow in the future.

　　 "It doesn't matter if I help Horikita Suzune grow. After a while, she'll realize that it's impossible for her to ascend to class D. But I can take this opportunity to actively contact Horikita Manabu's intelligence network."

　　 If they really want to deal with Nagumo, the student union can't do it without anyone, and that's the importance of those two places.

　　 Horikita Suzune was an online stock character in the system. Although the initial stock price was 100 points, there would be no problem in buying them as long as she could get some benefits from other places.

　　 Aren't there also the Kushida stocks I just bought?

　　Considering the complicated relationship between them, would he be angry if he used the money earned from Kushida to buy Horikita's shares?

　　 As for the competition within the class, after these two rule sales, Hashima Hikaru guessed that the class ranking might change after the first month.

　　 Class B's current evaluation score has increased by 100 points after receiving rewards from the school. As long as the class order is strictly controlled during this period, the class ranking can be reorganized after May 1st.

　　 "In short, tomorrow we will go to Class C and get the money back as soon as possible. In the time we have left, we must all unite and rush to Class A together."

　　 Hashima Hikaru opened his system panel and found that there were already four shares online in the system.

　　 These are [Ichinose Honami's shares], [Chabashira Saed's shares], [Horikita Suzune's shares], and [Kushida Kikyo's shares].

　　 However, he only bought two shares on the [Stock Interface].

[Ichinose Honami]

　　[Current stock price: 150, number of shares held: 3000]

　　[Kushida Kikyo's shares]

　　[Current stock price: 10, number of shares held: 5000]

　　"I also need to improve Kushida's favorability and build a relationship of trust."

　　 Anyway, isn't Kushida Kikyo going to treat him to a meal? This is a great opportunity.

　　 After sitting in the chair and thinking for a long while, Hashima Hikaru wrote down all his ideas with a pen. He believed that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen and that the more he wrote, the better he could review.

　　 Before going to sleep, he sent a message to Ichinose Honami, asking her to be ready to go to Class C together to sell the rules tomorrow. He hadn't seen Ibuki for several days and was wondering how she was doing in Class C.

　　----

　　The next day, after finishing his daily exercise homework, Hikaru Hashima entered the Class B classroom. Yesterday before going to bed, everyone in the class group was chatting excitedly and the message notifications didn't stop until two in the morning.

　　 On the one hand, classmates praised Hashima Hikaru for successfully completing the second point recycling plan, and Class B's points increased a lot.

　　 On the other hand, they were discussing whether or not they should have a dinner together after all the points from the three classes were collected, and invite everyone in Class B to hold a reward party for their hard work of late.

　　 Ichinose immediately said in the group that there was no problem and that being able to spend time in a group with everyone was something very important to the girl. Then her classmates began frantically calling out to Hashima Hikaru in the group until the boy answered.

　　 Currently, all the students in Class B know that the class leader is Ichinose Honami, but when they make a decision, if Hashima Hikaru doesn't nod, everyone will feel awkward. This is everyone's consensus.

　　 "Good morning, Hashima-san!"

　　 "Good morning, Hashima-san."

　　 As soon as he entered the classroom, classmates began to greet Hashima Hikaru. Unbeknownst to him, the boy had become the backbone of the class and was greatly trusted by both boys and girls.

　　 "Good morning, everyone."

　　 After responding to everyone with a smile, Hashima Hikaru sat back in her seat. The long, pink-haired girl had naturally arrived a long time ago, but she looked a little tired, with a faint layer of dark circles under her beautiful eyes.

"Ichinose-san, did you stay up late last night?" Hashima asked softly.

　　 "It's not that I stayed up late, I just had so much fun chatting with everyone that I forgot the time…"

　　A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ichinose Honami's cute face. She was very happy to see everyone praising Hashima Hikaru yesterday, so she continued to reply to everyone's messages in the group.

　　 "Don't do this again in the future," the boy looked at the other person's expression and advised, "Otherwise, I will forbid everyone from talking at night."

　　 "Understood. I will pay attention to it."

　　 Ichinose nodded. The girl was very happy about Hashima Hikaru's concern, and immediately took out the notebook with the written rules that she hadn't used yesterday and said to him.

　　 "When we go to Class C to sell the rules today, we can just hand them this notebook after adding up the points. There's no need to bother Hashima-san to explain the rules again."

　　 "…Okay."

　　 Hashima Hikaru didn't mind. He was too lazy to explain to them anyway. He simply handed them the notebook after taking the money and left.

　　 "I'll be the one to contact Ibuki-san this time," Ichinose Honami held her phone in her hand. "I wonder what's going on in her class right now. It's a little worrying."

　　 "Indeed, after Ryuen and the other two were suspended from school, their class suddenly had three fewer violent elements," Hashima Hikaru pulled out a book from the desk, his tone filled with inexplicable anticipation, "Class C should have elected a new class leader, we'll know when we get there."

　　When the school bell rang, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami stood up together. As the last step in the point recovery plan, all the classmates understood that today's action was crucial and they all had a serious look on their faces.

　　 "Hashima-san, today is the last step, let's go!"

　　 "Yes," Hashima Hikaru looked at the Class B students in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, today is the last stop. As long as we complete the point collection this time, we'll be one step closer to our 20 million private point plan."

　　 "Ichinose-san and I will work hard, please trust us."

　　 "Don't worry, Hashima-san. When you come back, we'll organize a reward party for you. This time it must be something important." Shibata seemed very happy when he said this. Although they were all underage and couldn't drink, he had already thought of how to torment Hashima Hikaru when the time came.

　　 "Yes, Ichinose-san and Hashima-san are the most important members of our Class B," Ando's pretty face showed a bright smile, "We will choose the best place for the reward party later, and we look forward to your triumphant return."

　　 "Please do your best, Hashima-san and Ichinose!"

　　 The students of Class B watched them leave the classroom. If they managed to gather the million personal points today, they could rest easy.

　　 After leaving the classroom, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami quickly walked towards the door of Class C. The girl had just contacted Ibuki, who spoke in a very confident tone, telling them to come.

　　 And when they entered the C class classroom, the two finally understood why Ibuki said that, because she was standing at the podium, and all the students in the classroom were there except for the three empty seats due to suspension.

And behind Ibuki Mio was an extremely eye-catching boy, whose presence couldn't be ignored at all.

　　 He was a dark-skinned student with shaved hair. He was extremely tall, making the petite Ibuki look like a small animal next to him. He had no expression on his face, but his muscular body and cold aura could easily scare people.

　　 My god, could this be Albert-kun, the classmate Ryuuen has fought with before? This is outrageous, is this guy really a high school student?

　　 "You're here, come here."

　　 After seeing Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami come in, Ibuki immediately greeted them. After receiving Ichinose's message, she immediately realized that this should be the important thing Hashima had mentioned before.

　　 After all, before they plotted to frame Ryuuen, this topic was what attracted her.

　　 "Good afternoon, Ibuki-san."

　　 Ichinose Honami greeted the short-haired girl in front of her with a smile, while Hashima Hikaru turned his attention to the heavyweight behind Ibuki.

　　 "It should be albert-san, right? Ibuki-san, would you mind explaining the current situation?"

　　 "Oh, aren't you very smart? How about you guess?"

　　 Ibuki crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the boy who had left a deep impression on her before. His sly behavior was still fresh in her memory.

　　 "Hmm…" Hashima Hikaru looked at Ibuki's expression, then looked at the other C class students in the classroom, and suddenly said as if she had suddenly realized something, "Ibuki, are you the leader of C class now?"

　　 "..."

　　Unexpectedly, the other party guessed it so quickly. Ibuki pursed her lips and said unhappily, "What a clever guy. That's right, I'm now the leader of C class, and I have two assistants."

　　 "One is albert-san," the girl pointed at the man behind her who was like an iron tower, and then pointed at a girl sitting in a seat, "and the other is Shiina-san."

　　 Following her lead, Hashima Hikaru saw the quiet gray-haired girl with a gentle expression on her face, and continued to look at the people here.

　　 At this moment, a new prompt sound came from the system bar.

　　[Drop! Shiina Daily Stock is now online!]

　　[Current stock price: 30]

　　[Number of shares issued: 3,000 shares]

　　"?"

　　 Hashima Hikaru's expression changed and he instinctively looked at the gray-haired girl sitting in his seat again. The other person had a very gentle temperament, and since she was Ibuki's assistant, it meant that her status in Class C was also quite high.

　　"What are you looking at? Don't you have anything to say?"

　　 Ibuki's voice interrupted Hashima Hikaru's thoughts. He immediately realized that the focus now wasn't this, so he stopped trying to figure out what Shiina Hiyori was thinking and turned to Ibuki and said.

　　 "It seems like you've done a lot of things since you suspended Ryuuen from school."

At first, she invited Ibuki to carry out the secret filming plan to force Ryuuen to suspend his classes so that she could come to Class C to sell the rules, and she could also create a time difference and reduce Ryuuen's influence in Class C.

　　Now that Ryuen has been suspended from school, he can't go to class. Although he had previously conquered many people with violence, it's useless now. The people who opposed Ryuen in Class C have successfully taken control.

　　 It won't be easy to regain control of the class after Ryuuen returns.

　　 "After that boy was suspended from school, albert-san found me and said he wanted me to be the leader of Class C." Ibuki's expression was somewhat helpless. She certainly had no interest in being class leader. She was being forced to do this.

　　 "Shiina-san also said that since I successfully stopped Ryuuen's violent behavior, becoming the class leader is what everyone wants, so I had no choice but to agree."

　　 "That's a good thing. I think Ibuki is very capable. She will definitely be able to protect the students of Class C from the threat of violence." After hearing her words, Ichinose seemed particularly happy.

　　 Ibuki felt a little awkward with Ichinose's enthusiastic praise, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Well, if you have any plans, you can tell us now. Everyone is here."

　　 "Okay, since Class C has already been integrated by Ibuki-san, I don't have to bother trying to persuade everyone."

　　 Hashima Hikaru looked back at Yamada Albert, who was standing behind Ibuki. It seemed like the other party had become a follower of the girl. It was no wonder he could help her integrate into Class C. After all, this was someone that even Ryuuen couldn't beat. Just being there could put enormous pressure on people.

　　 "Well, everyone, look over here. I'll introduce myself first." Hashima Hikaru smiled, "I'm Hashima Hikaru from Class 1B, and this is Ichinose Honami."

　　 "Hello, everyone." The pink-haired girl smiled and waved behind Hashima Hikaru.

　　 "We're here today to discuss an agreement with everyone from Class C. The content of the agreement is about the school's hidden rules."

　　 When it's the last class's turn, they no longer need the contractual restrictions that prohibit secondary transactions. They just need to convince them to pay, and then they can do whatever they want.

　　 "Hidden rules?"

　　After hearing this, Ibuki's beautiful face changed expression and she quickly asked, "What do you know?"

　　 "Please take a look at this first.
