I Am in Classroom of the Elite, My Love Stock Market Only Wants a Full Position by Ichinose Ren

As a transmigrator from China, the day Hashiba Hikaru entered Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, the system that had been fifteen years late finally descended.

The Love Stock Market System has simple rules: earn different returns based on changes in interpersonal relationships.

In order to graduate as a student of Class A and embark on a comfortable, easygoing life, Hashiba Hikaru is determined to make good use of this Love Stock Market System.

But as the saying goes, one cannot simply just "trade" stocks.

I will always prefer a full position!!! And then, go all-in!!!

Chapter 1: Class 1-B, Hashiba Hikaru

As everyone knows, the opening ceremony is one of the most boring things in student life.

Not only do you have to arrive on time, but you also have to stand in long lines with your classmates to receive lectures from the leadership, and even if you are so bored that you are dozing off, you cannot leave early.

However, the opening ceremony that Hashiba Hikaru is currently attending makes him feel very strange; despite it being an important moment for the freshmen to enter school, there is not a single teacher in the grand auditorium.

The opening ceremony is being organized by members of the Student Council wearing armbands; they are guiding the freshmen to stand in their assigned spots according to their admission notices and are skillfully maintaining order in the venue.

More importantly, the upperclassmen have long been accustomed to this, and no one feels that there is anything wrong with it.

Hashiba Hikaru stands in the student formation for Class 1-B, and after finishing his scan of the auditorium, his gaze finally settles on the podium at the very front.

"I am the Student Council President, Horikita Manabu."

The tall boy with glasses places his hands on the podium, speaking in a calm yet quite forceful tone.

"On behalf of the current students, I warmly welcome the freshmen entering our school this year."

"Our school is famous for its dual focus on academics and martial arts, as well as our high advancement and employment rates. I believe everyone knows that these are the results of the continuous efforts and performance of our graduates and current students; it is the pride of our school."

"I hope you will inherit this tradition. This school implements a meritocratic policy, and I hope you can demonstrate the strength expected of you and live up to this precious opportunity."

Judging by this speech, there is an obvious keyword in the Student Council President's words.

Strength.

Not to mention that the scope of what these two words can explain is too vast, shouldn't a normal school be more concerned with students' grades?

And the final sentence feels like it has some inexplicable meaning. What does "strength expected of you" mean? Could it be that the strength of all students had already been recorded before enrollment?

Then what is the criteria for judgment?

"In any case, this school seems even more troublesome than I imagined."

Hashiba Hikaru reaches out to rub his brow. As a transmigrator from China, after he graduated from public junior high school as the top student in his grade, the principal brought him a special opportunity for further education.

Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School is located on an artificial island in the center of the metropolis, covering an area of nearly 600,000 square meters, and tuition for all three years is free.

This school advertises that it has a 100% advancement rate and a 100% employment rate. Despite such an exaggerated advertisement, in the more than ten years since its founding, there has not been a single scandal that could ruin its reputation.

On the contrary, it has only increasingly verified the school's value.

Therefore, Hashiba Hikaru came. The free tuition is secondary; what he cares about more is successfully advancing to higher education.

The past has long since blown away with the wind. Since his rebirth, he has studied hard every day just to get into a top-tier university and repay the parents who raised him in this life.

"Whatever," Hashiba Hikaru puts the doubts in his mind aside for now. "Anyway, this is a school funded by the government. Even if there are many unusual aspects, it shouldn't deviate from the scope of educating students."

After the Student Council President's speech ends, he follows his classmates from Class 1-B to leave the grand auditorium in order. Taking advantage of the opportunity while everyone is walking out, Hashiba Hikaru discovers another incredible thing.

That is, the quality of the girls in this school is unusually high.

In fact, Hashiba Hikaru had already noticed a beautiful girl with long pink hair in his class formation just now. Although he didn't know her name, the refinement of her appearance far exceeded that of all the female classmates he had known over the past ten years.

In the process of leaving the grand auditorium, he also saw many outstanding-looking girls in other freshman formations, and there were even a few goddess-level girls who were no less inferior to that pink-haired one.

"However, why are they all concentrated in Class 1-D?"

After glancing at the Class 1-D formation several times, Hashiba Hikaru retracts his gaze. Although he is a bit surprised by the cluster of beautiful girls, it wouldn't hurt to have a bunch of eye-pleasing classmates in the future.

After returning to the classroom for Class 1-B, Hashiba Hikaru finds his seat.

Unfortunately, it is neither in the back row nor by the window; it is in the middle area of the classroom.

But the next second, the pink-haired beauty he had just noticed sits down in the seat next to him. It seems she is his deskmate.

"Hello, I'm Ichinose Honami. Please take care of me from now on."

She turns her head to look over. Because the distance is so close, Hashiba Hikaru begins to carefully examine the girl's appearance.

It must be said that this girl named Ichinose Honami is extremely beautiful. A pair of azure eyes as clear as a mountain spring, a refined face, and a soft smile hanging on her pretty little face add an air of trustworthiness to her.

She is like an angel, making it very easy for people to feel a sense of closeness.

"Hello, I am Hashiba Hikaru."

After the pleasantries, Hashiba Hikaru suddenly heard a strange, synthesized mechanical voice in his ear, followed immediately by a pale blue light screen manifesting before his eyes.

[Beep!]

[Love Stock Market System loading...]

[Host successfully bound, functional modules awakened.]

[Character information unlocked.]

[Newbie funds have been deposited, please check your balance.]

[Important Notice: This system is a Love Stock Market System. The host will inevitably come into contact with various females during use. Please operate with caution. This system is not responsible for any dangers involving personal safety; all risks are to be borne by the host! Have a pleasant time trading!!!]

"?"

Hashiba Hikaru's expression froze. He first glanced at Ichinose Honami beside him, and only after seeing her turn away to greet other classmates did he feel relieved enough to open the System Panel.

The light screen slowly unfurled, dividing into three main modules.

[Character Information]

[Stock Interface]

[Trading Shop]

Hashiba Hikaru scanned these three categories and clicked on [Character Information] first.

[Name: Hashiba Hikaru]

[Age: 15]

[Intelligence: 7]

[Charisma: 8]

[Stamina: 3]

[Stocks Held: None]

[Skills Mastered: None]

[Funds: 100,000]

The average value is 6 points; aside from his dragging stamina, his other attributes are far superior to the average person.

To summarize simply: he is handsome enough and smart enough, but if he were to race someone, he would be lapped at least twice.

He then clicked on the [Trading Shop].

[Stock Analyzer: 1,000]

[Bow and Arrow: 2,000]

[Exercise Booster (30 days): 100,000]

[Piano Performance (Beginner): 150,000]

[Basketball (Proficient): 200,000]

[Intelligence: 500,000]

There were quite a few items available for purchase. In addition to tools, there were various skills and attribute points. As for the final [Stock Interface], there was no need to look; it was currently empty.

"So, where are the system rules?"

Hashiba Hikaru's gaze moved across the light screen until he finally spotted a corner icon resembling a pop-up book at the very bottom, labeled with the words "Precautions."

Upon opening it, lines of clear instructional text appeared. He had always been a fast reader, so he quickly grasped how to use the system.

This was a system similar to stock trading. Once a suitable target was discovered, the relevant character's stock would go live on the Stock Interface, with the initial price and quantity issued based on the character's traits.

The stock price was not static; it would rise and fall.

What Hashiba Hikaru needed to do was buy in when the price was low, sell when the price rose, and use the funds earned from the price difference to exchange for items or skills in the [Trading Shop].

The way to make the stock price rise was also simple: increase the corresponding character's favorability. The faster the favorability grew, the higher the stock value would become.

"In other words, I just need to find different girls to farm favorability with."

Hashiba Hikaru pondered for a long time, suddenly recalling the system's warning. If he got too entangled with too many girls, he might end up in a "yandere" crisis.

After all, the ending of a certain anime protagonist who ended up being decapitated was still fresh in his mind; being a scumbag carried very high risks.

"However..."

A brand new line of thought popped into Hashiba Hikaru's mind.

What if he just "sheared the wool" of favorability, liquidated his position once the stock price rose, and then waited for the price to drop? Wouldn't that perfectly avoid a "Asura" field?

After reading the system's usage rules several times, he became increasingly convinced that this was a viable path.

Just then, an incredibly eye-catching red message suddenly surged to the top of the system.

[Beep! Ichinose Honami Stock is now live!]

[Current Stock Price: 10]

[Issued Quantity: 5,000 shares]

Watching Ichinose Honami already surrounded by the new students beside him, Hashiba Hikaru's gaze suddenly turned sharp.

Chapter 2 The Revealed Rules

Inside the classroom of Class 1-B, Hashiba Hikaru once again sized up Ichinose Honami, who sat at the desk next to him.

The beautiful girl with pink hair was clustered in the center by her classmates, the smile on her face kind and gentle as she patiently chatted with everyone.

Even though it was only their first day meeting, Ichinose Honami had immediately blended in with the students in the class. Aside from her appearance being exceptionally striking among this group of boys and girls, the aura of trustworthiness she radiated also played no small part.

Someone who could talk to just about anyone might be easy to get along with, but raising her favorability would require careful consideration; it might even prove to be more difficult.

Hashiba Hikaru's mind was racing. His starting capital was only the 100,000 points from the newcomer reward. Ichinose Honami's stock price was 10, with an issued quantity of 5,000 shares, so buying a full position would cost 50,000 points.

However, since today was only their first meeting and he didn't yet know what this girl was like on the inside, it would be better to wait and see before making a decision.

Just at that moment, a slender figure walked up to the podium.

"Hello everyone, I am your homeroom teacher, Chie Hoshinomiya."

Hashiba Hikaru looked up. Standing on the podium was a young woman with long brown hair, dressed very fashionably with curls at the ends. She looked at the students in the class with a beaming smile, her presence very gentle.

Seeing that the students in the class were all looking over, Chie Hoshinomiya continued.

"First of all, congratulations to all of you on your enrollment. Our school implements a non-streaming system, so the classmates in this room will be your companions for the next three years. I hope you can all get along well."

"As your homeroom teacher, I will not be reassigned either, and I will be with everyone until graduation."

"Ohhh!"
