The Surprise Sakura Airi Had Prepared

When this matter was mentioned, Hashiba Hikaru's lips curled into a playful smile.

"Because this system applies to all students in the school, it means that after we move up to the Second Year, the incoming first-year students will also have their grades based on their performance in junior high school."

"That's interesting indeed. If the [White Room] really does send someone over, wouldn't this parameter make finding them much easier?"

Sakayanagi Arisu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "But if they all hid their strength like Ayanokoji, wouldn't the final outcome still be unpredictable?"

"That depends on luck, since this plan is currently confidential, and the chances of unenrolled freshmen knowing about it are very small."

Hashiba Hikaru gave a casual, perfunctory reply, but that wasn't what she really thought.

Because Tsukishiro was the core driving force behind this plan, he knew all the details perfectly well. It was possible for him to secretly pass it out or tamper with the information of the people in the [White Room] who were about to enroll.

However, the boy wouldn't reveal these things.

While the unknown can bring a degree of fear, it also makes the game more interesting.

Hashiba Hikaru was still looking forward to the new students' enrollment, as well as Tsukishiro's targeted plan. Only by completely dealing with the other party could he truly control the school.

"If the scores were calculated based on exam results, my overall score probably wouldn't be very high."

Throughout his three first-year semesters, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's grades remained within the average range, without achieving any particularly outstanding scores to attract attention.

Since establishing a partnership with Hashiba Hikaru, he has been actively involved in the Special Exam several times, but there has been little progress in the Written Exam.

"It's alright, the overall score is updated about once a month, so there will be plenty of opportunities."

Hashiba Hikaru, recalling Tsukishiro's attitude, added, "What you need to be careful about is the Special Exam after your Second Year. Tsukishiro will definitely find an opportunity to target you."

I'm not worried about that.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka shook his head, his attitude very calm, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

"It seems I was overthinking it. It's good that you have confidence Ayanokoji."

Hashiba Hikaru wouldn't give any special instructions, since Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was very proactive, and as a partner, she just needed to fulfill her obligations.

"In that case, let's leave today's discussion here for now."

The young person, as the leader, summarized today's meeting.

"After the start of the Second Year, our actions have two main directions. First, we need to quickly confirm whether there are any students from the [White Room] among the new students, and if so, we need to quickly count their exact number and names."

"The second direction is to improve my overall score as originally planned, as a backup plan."

"What backup plan?"

Although Sakayanagi Arisu is quick-witted, the fact that Hashiba Hikaru didn't reveal the entire plan caused her some doubts.

"Use their strength against them."

Hashiba Hikaru explained with a smile, "Tsukishiro is just an Acting Chairman. He certainly doesn't carry as much weight as Chairman Sakayanagi in the hearts of the class advisors. If we can find something to hold against him, we can take the initiative."

"Do you understand?"

"I see."

Where is Ayanokoji?

Hashiba Hikaru glanced again at the indifferent-looking boy opposite her.

"I understand. I will gradually change my mindset after school starts."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was unwilling to leave. Previously, it was Sakayanagi Narimori who had forcefully withstood the pressure from that man by taking advantage of the school's rules. Now that it was Tsukishiro, he absolutely could not allow him to find an excuse to drop out of school.

"Yes, after you enter your Second Year, I will give you some of the Student Council's power to increase your influence."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled and painted a picture of a bright future.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is a very useful pawn; his abilities and desires are very clear, making him more useful than most people in this school.

"Um."

After the discussion ended, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka pulled out his chair, stood up, and took his leave, leaving Hashiba Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu sitting together.

"Classmate Sakayanagi, would you like me to take you home?"

Who are you going to see today?

Now that there were no outsiders around, the silver-haired girl's actions became even more blatant. She directly slipped her small hand under Hashiba Hikaru's shirt and gently stroked his back.

"This is none of your business, Classmate Sakayanagi. Remember not to push your luck."

Hashiba Hikaru grasped her slender wrist, preventing her from going any further.

"Isn't there still one day left? How about you give it to me?"

Sakayanagi Arisu, which was interrupted by Ichinose Honami last time, but she wouldn't give up so easily.

We'll see.

Hashiba Hikaru pulled the girl's small hand out from under her clothes and chuckled, "Who gets to spend the last day of the holiday is up to me to decide."

"Then I'll come see you again on my last day."

Sakayanagi Arisu touched her wrist; the boy's body heat still lingered on it, making her even more tender.

"Then see you on the last day."

Hashiba Hikaru got up and straightened her clothes.

Time was limited; he had another appointment to attend to today.

Chapter 686 The Surprise Prepared by Sakura Airi.

The person he was meeting was Sakura Airi.

As the girl with the fewest demands but the most obedient nature, Hashiba Hikaru decided to make it up to her today. She specially bought groceries at the supermarket and brought them to Sakura Airi's door.

This time, there was no need to knock, because Hashiba Hikaru had already sent a message to the other party on the way there. When she arrived at the door, Sakura Airi simply opened it.

"Light!"

Upon seeing the figure she had longed for day and night, Sakura Airi's eyes reddened. She hadn't enjoyed Hashiba Hikaru's affection for a long time, and she felt a pang of longing.

"Yes, I'm here."

Although Ichinose Honami had already given her consent, it still wasn't appropriate to chat while standing at the door. Hashiba Hikaru pushed the girl's thin shoulders and accompanied her into the room.

"Is he just planning to cook today?"

Sakura Airi linked arms with her boyfriend, a joyful smile on her pretty face.

"Yes, it's almost noon. Airi, would Airi like to go out for lunch?"

Hashiba Hikaru put the ingredients in the refrigerator first, because the girl rarely cooks, and there were only some instant foods such as milk and bread in the refrigerator.

"No, let's eat in the room then."

Sakura Airi hugged Hashiba Hikaru tightly from behind. Today, she was wearing a very cool loungewear outfit: a soft, light green silk long-sleeved top and hot pants that revealed her smooth thighs.

Although the weather in March hadn't fully warmed up yet, the dormitory rooms were always warm thanks to the air conditioning.

"Well, there's still some time before noon. Let's do something else first."

After preparing the ingredients, Hashiba Hikaru and Sakura Airi went into the bedroom together.

The boy's original idea was to see how her music career was going, since he had already written several songs for her and probably had a lot of fans.

However, just after the boy sat down in the chair, the girl suddenly squeezed into his arms.

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru put his arm around Sakura Airi's slender waist, gazing at her flushed face, and asked with a smile, "Airi, is there something you want to say?"

"Do you just want to see my follower stats?"

Having known Hashiba Hikaru for so long, the girl's shyness and timidity had long since disappeared. When they were alone in private, although she was obedient, she was just as bold as anyone else.

"Yes, is there any other requirement?"

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at the computer screen in front of her. The laptop had just started up and was displaying a screen asking for a password.

"I secretly changed my password last time..."

Sakura Airi snuggled into the boy's arms, then stretched out her two smooth arms to hug his head.

"Oh, so you dare to keep it from me, huh? Airi britches and don't want to listen to me anymore?"

Hashiba Hikaru wasn't angry; she was simply playing along with the atmosphere.

"Hmm... I think I'm pretty amazing. I can become an artist without the help of light."

A smile played on Sakura Airi's lips, and her eyes shone with a moist light.

"Oh, so you dare to talk back!"

Hashiba Hikaru feigned anger and said, "I'm going to teach you a lesson and show you who's in charge!"

"No!"

After being picked up by Hashiba Hikaru, Sakura Airi, despite saying no, reached out and pulled the boy down onto her bed.

"Get ready, I'm going to punish you severely today!"

"Then... how will you punish me?"

Sakura Airi deliberately put on a charmingly naive expression. After being pinned down by her boyfriend, she directly took off her clothes and stared intently at Hashiba Hikaru's handsome face.

"Hmph, don't make a sound later!"

Hashiba Hikaru leaned her face closer, and the girl obediently stuffed her bra into her mouth.

Are you ready?

"Hmm..."

Their figures overlapped in the bedroom, their tenderness and affection needing no further explanation.

Perhaps because she hadn't seen Hashiba Hikaru for so long, Sakura Airi lingered with him for a long time this time. They were supposed to have lunch together, but by the time the boy woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.

"This is really..."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at her phone and sighed helplessly.

He always believed that a regular schedule was important and that eating on time was a good habit, but he made an exception today.

"Airi?"

The boy called out in a low voice.

The girl in his arms still had a blush on her face, and her messy hair was tangled together; it was clear she was truly exhausted.

"Never mind, I'll go cook for myself first."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't wake Sakura Airi; instead, she got out of bed and went to cook dinner alone.

He only ate some bread this morning, and drank a cup of coffee while chatting with Sakayanagi Arisu and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and has been hungry ever since.

Moreover, they had just finished several hours of physical labor and needed to replenish their energy as soon as possible.

A while later, just as the ingredients were being put into the pot, Hashiba Hikaru felt someone hug her from behind.

"Are you awake?"

The boy smiled gently, but did not stop what he was doing, continuing to cut the carrots into appropriately sized pieces.

"Hmm... are you just hungry?"

Sakura Airi clung to Hashiba Hikaru's back like a koala, her little hands wrapped around his waist, her voice still a little sticky.

"Isn't Airi hungry? I only ate a piece of bread this morning."

"I usually eat very little, and I've been thinking about losing weight lately."

Sakura Airi shook her head, resting her small head against the boy's neck.

"Lose weight?"

Hashiba Hikaru was taken aback by his words and asked with some confusion, "Why do you need to lose weight? Doesn't Airi have a great figure?"

"I feel like I have a bit of a tummy, even though I've been controlling my diet."
