The First List Is Finalized

Hashiba Hikaru wasn't that surprised; she simply gazed at his face indifferently.

"Let's go over there and talk."

"Can."

The boy turned and said a few words to Ichinose Honami, then walked to the side with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

To be honest, the combination of a Student Council President who is the center of attention and a stoic boy who is trying his best to make his presence felt in Class D is very eye-catching.

"Ichinose, are Ayanokoji and Classmate Hashiba quite close?"

Ando was slightly puzzled, since the members of Class A had never had any further interaction with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

"I don't know either. It's just his social circle; I wouldn't interfere with his thoughts."

Ichinose Honami shook her head. Although she was very concerned, after Ayanokoji pointed out the truth, the girl only wanted to deal with the current discovery as soon as possible.

Today is the first day of school, but not a single new student from Class D of the First Year showed up here, which can only prove one thing.

Some people have already completed the integration of the class at an extremely fast pace.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Besides this, what else did you discover?"

After arriving at a relatively secluded place with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Hashiba Hikaru asked directly.

"It's only the first day of school, and some people have already taken control of the class!"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought for a moment, "But if I appeared in Class D of the First Year..."

He was actually a little concerned because when he was assigned to Class D of the First Year at the beginning of the school year, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka always knew where his shortcomings lay.

But if the people sent by the [White Room] were there to take me back, would they send someone with the same obvious flaws?

"Hehe, I roughly know what you're thinking, but I think anything is possible."

Hashiba Hikaru, on the other hand, wasn't surprised. She chuckled and said, "After all, even someone like you, Ayanokoji, was assigned to Class D. It's not surprising that another one is in the same class."

"Classmate Hashiba."

Just as the two were chatting, Sakayanagi Arisu noticed what was happening and came over alone.

"How?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked at the silver-haired girl in front of her. She looked very well today. After recovering from her illness, her delicate face had lost some of its fragile and fragile appearance and instead became bright and cheerful.

"Besides Ayanokoji's discovery, I actually have another guess."

What is it?

Hearing her say that, Hashiba Hikaru and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka both looked over.

"If the purpose of the [White Room] is to take Ayanokoji back, besides arranging [assassins], Tsukishiro might also recruit first-year students as a smokescreen, since these freshmen are much easier to control than the upperclassmen."

"That makes sense, please continue."

Hashiba Hikaru nodded.

"Didn't you hear that Classmate Hashiba Miyabi Nagumo and Tsukishiro reached some kind of cooperation agreement? Perhaps he will also get involved in this matter."

Sakayanagi Arisu's thinking was very clear: since the other party had already gone to such lengths as to suspend her father from his job, she would naturally feel no psychological pressure in doing anything else.

"That's right, we must speed things up and confirm the student information in the [White Room] as soon as possible."

Hashiba Hikaru's gaze gradually turned serious.

Just then, a girl with red pigtails walked into the Gymnasium with a smile.

She spotted the tall figure standing in the corner at a glance and strode towards him.

"Um, are you Senior Hashiba? Nice to meet you. I'm Amasawa Ichika from Class A of the First Year."

The girl smiled radiantly, her pretty face exuding youthful beauty.

"Do you know me?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by the other person's sudden conversation.

"It doesn't matter that we didn't know each other before, now that we do, don't we?"

The girl named Amasawa Ichika slightly curled the corners of her mouth. Although she was talking to her senior, her voice was not nervous at all.

What advice do you have?

"Hehe, I just came to say hello to you, senior. This exam requires students to team up with their seniors. If Senior Hashiba 're looking for a partner, can I get priority?"

Amasawa Ichika raised her fair little hand and waved it, her attitude very enthusiastic.

"Is that so?"

A strange light flashed in Hashiba Hikaru's eyes, and after a few seconds, a gentle smile appeared on the boy's lips.

"Of course, how about we exchange contact information first, Amasawa?"

"Uh-huh."

Amasawa Ichika quickly pulled out her phone, completely disregarding Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Sakayanagi Arisu who were still standing nearby.

Actually, she knew both of them.

However... let's complete the mission first; that's her most important task right now.

Chapter 713 The first confirmed list.

After adding each other's contact information, Hashiba Hikaru looked down at the pretty Amasawa Ichika and said gently, "Amasawa- senpai is in Class A of the First Year, right?"

"Yes, my academic performance is an A. If Senior Hashiba partners with me, we can definitely get the highest level reward."

Amasawa Ichika's eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"More importantly, I'd like to ask Amasawa for a small favor. I wonder if you're free right now?"

Facing this junior who was younger than her, Hashiba Hikaru showed no airs of a senior and spoke in a very gentle tone.

"What kind of help?"

Amasawa Ichika asked with some curiosity.

"Today's New and Old Student Exchange Meeting was a very large event, but I noticed that none of the students from Class D of the First Year came."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was standing silently to the side, and continued.

"Could you please ask Amasawa to check their classroom? There should still be people in there at this hour."

"Didn't anyone from Class D show up?"

Amasawa Ichika seemed a little surprised, turning her head to observe the bustling interior of the venue.

"Yes, I'm going to be the host later and can't get away. Amasawa is a first-year student, and she's on the same floor as the students in Class D. Could you please go and run errand for me?"

Hashiba Hikaru stared at her pretty smiling face, her tone pleading.

"... In that case, I'll go Senior Hashiba. Remember to thank me properly next time!"

Amasawa Ichika quickly made a decision and readily agreed.

"Of course, I'll treat you to dinner next time. You can choose any restaurant at Keyaki Mall."

It's a deal.

The junior with red twin tails nodded, waved to Hashiba Hikaru, and quickly turned and left.

Once her figure had completely disappeared, Sakayanagi Arisu suddenly asked.

"Classmate Hashiba, do you think she's our target?"

"Most likely."

The gentleness on Hashiba Hikaru's face vanished instantly, and her tone became extremely cold.

"From the moment she walked in until she left, although she was talking to me the whole time, her gaze fell on Ayanokoji at least three times."

"Although she was discreet, she probably looked down on me and didn't take my observation skills seriously."

"And..."

Hashiba Hikaru's lips curled into a cold smile. "Tsukishiro has no idea that we've already formed an alliance. Besides Ayanokoji, anyone who deliberately approaches me will be easily exposed."

"Heh, it seems he miscalculated."

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded slightly, a clear smile playing on her lips.

"In any case, because we have prior intelligence, we can strike first."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka beside her, "I'll handle this junior for now. Since she's after me, let me have some fun with her."

"Can."

With a blank expression Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded and then asked, "What are your plans to do about the situation with Class D of the First Year?"

"No rush, let's wait for our junior, Amasawa, to return."

Hashiba Hikaru looked up at the Gymnasium entrance. "Now that Class D of the First Year has Class Integrator, let's just wait and see what happens and wait for them to make their move."

"After all, the students in Class D of the First Year are probably the weakest in terms of overall strength among the first-year students. They should be very eager to complete the team formation, right?"

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded, then asked thoughtfully, "Do you think they'll give priority to Class 2-D?"

"Possibly."

Hashiba Hikaru continued her analysis, "Although we haven't made contact with the students in Class D of the First Year, they probably don't fully understand the school's rules yet, assuming, of course, that Tsukishiro isn't secretly trying to recruit them."

"What is Classmate Hashiba planning to do?"

"Tomorrow I'll be going to the first-year students' floor to promote the Student Council and get to know these interesting freshmen."

Hashiba Hikaru suggested, "Classmate Sakayanagi and Ayanokoji, come with me."

"Can."

The two nodded, offering no comment on his suggestion.

As the trio grew longer, Hashiba Hikaru quietly became the leader of the trio because Ayanokoji Kiyotaka disliked giving orders and Sakayanagi Arisu habitually followed the boy's arrangements.

"Disperse and go inside the venue to continue gathering information. Leave Amasawa here alone."

Hashiba Hikaru and decided to let them continue their work.

"Good."

About ten minutes after the two people left, a red-haired girl with pigtails, her face covered in a thin layer of sweat, ran in from outside the gate, panting.

When she stood still in front of Hashiba Hikaru, her chest was still rising and falling slightly.

"Junior Amasawa, you've worked so hard. Wipe your sweat first."

Upon seeing this, Hashiba Hikaru immediately and gently handed her a tissue.

"Senior Hashiba. I only did a little exercise; I'm not very tired."

Amasawa Ichika took the tissue from the boy and gently wiped her face, a smile still playing on her lips.

"I should be thanking you. Did Amasawa discover anything in Class D of the First Year?"

As Hashiba Hikaru studied Amasawa Ichika's pretty face, she became even more certain of her earlier guess.

She had just jogged over, and her first gaze fell on the boy's left; she was probably checking on Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's condition.

After they could no longer see him, their gaze returned to the boy's face.

It probably only took a second or two; you wouldn't notice it unless you were paying close attention.

Standing opposite, Amasawa Ichika let out a long sigh, patted her chest, and complained, "Senior Hashiba really knows how to order people around. When I got to Class D of the First Year's classroom, it was completely empty; there wasn't a single person there."

"Oh?"

Hashiba Hikaru wasn't surprised at all by the answer. Instead, she feigned curiosity and asked, "Even the students on duty for the day left?"

"Yes, it's already past four o'clock. If no one stays in the classroom to review their lessons, it's normal for it to be completely empty, right?"

"But I posted the message at 3:30. Don't the freshmen in Class D of the First Year use the Student Forum?"
