Kushida Kikyo Planned to Launch an Interception.

Hirata Yosuke turned off his phone, his body trembling slightly as he pressed on, "Is that so?"

"Yes, I submitted my transfer application before spring break, and it was just approved today."

Horikita Suzune took in the shocked expressions of everyone in the class, but her voice remained calm.

"Is that really how it is?"

"Twenty million Private Points? How does Horikita have so much money?"

Class D's current Class Evaluation Points is just over 400, and each student can only receive a little over 40,000 Private Points per month. So why is Horikita Suzune able to accumulate 20 million?

Do you have some other way of making money?

"Hehe, let's not ask about the specific reasons; it's Horikita- kun's personal privacy."

Hashiba Hikaru waved her hand with a smile, "She's a student in our class now, so I advise you not to do anything unnecessary, or I'll get angry."

After casually uttering a couple of warnings, Hashiba Hikaru looked down at the black-haired girl beside her.

Let's go now.

"Um."

Horikita Suzune nodded obediently and followed Hashiba Hikaru out of the classroom.

"Is this what you mean Classmate Hashiba?"

Hirata Yosuke suddenly shouted a question, his voice even sounding somewhat shrill.

From his perspective, Horikita Suzune is one of the key core members of Class D. If she were to transfer to Class A at this time, Class D would be without such an important member for the remaining two years, and they would probably never have another chance to gain an advantage in the Special Exam.

"I don't quite understand what Hirata meant by that,"

Hashiba Hikaru paused, but didn't turn around. "Excuse me, is there anyone in this school who doesn't want to move up to Class A?"

"..."

"People strive for higher positions; that's the simplest truth in the world, isn't it, Hirata?"

After saying this, Hashiba Hikaru didn't linger and led Horikita Suzune out the main gate.

Once the two figures disappeared, a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere enveloped the classroom of Class D.

Although everyone disliked the aloof Horikita Suzune, her academic and athletic abilities were undeniable. She was a valuable asset to Class D, and many students even developed a sense of respect for her after the Sports Festival.

But now she has left Class D and become the best student in Class A. If they meet again in the Special Exam, she will be a rival.

This feeling is like a mute eating bitter melon, leaving everyone with a bitter taste that they can't express.

"Twenty million Private Points... How did they even accumulate that much?"

Kanji Ike touched the back of his head, his expression somewhat strange.

"Could it be...?"

Some people immediately drew a parallel to Hashiba Hikaru's announcement that Horikita Suzune would be in charge of the Disciplinary Committee, a decision that caused quite a stir among the first-year students.

After all, everyone thought that if the boy wanted to increase his influence, he should have chosen someone from Class A, but unexpectedly he chose Horikita Suzune from Class D.

I think it's possible.

The boys in Class D quickly reached a consensus. After all, it was a pipe dream for Horikita Suzune to save up 20 million yen on her own, but if Hashiba Hikaru offered help, then everything would make sense.

After all, each Class A can now receive nearly 300,000 Private Points per month, and Hashiba Hikaru is an exception among exceptions. I heard that he earned 10 million from Miyabi Nagumo during the Forest Training Camp, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to help Horikita Suzune save up 20 million.

"So what is their relationship?"

Although the atmosphere in the classroom wasn't great, as soon as someone made a guess, the students immediately started to brainstorm and asked gossip questions that everyone was interested in, since this was exactly the kind of thing that young students loved to discuss.

"Let's all stop discussing this and leave it at that!"

Hirata Yosuke interrupted the discussion, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Class D was already lagging behind, and now that they've lost a core member, everyone is suddenly focusing on other issues, lacking even the most basic sense of crisis.

"Yes, let's not talk about Horikita anymore. Since it's her choice, we can only accept it."

At this moment, Kushida Kikyo stepped in to smooth things over. As the class's little angel, her expression was gentle, but her thoughts were quite the opposite.

The class transfer was originally a minor matter, but Kushida Kikyo believed that this woman must have deliberately asked Hashiba Hikaru to come and pick her up, just to leave a mark on everyone's mind.

"Class is about to start, everyone please go back to your seats."

Hirata Yosuke glanced at Kushida Kikyo with some gratitude, then returned to his seat.

In a corner of Class D's classroom, Sakura Airi stared blankly at the empty desk, her eyes gleaming with envy.

If she could, she wished she could be in Class A with Hashiba Hikaru, but she could never save up 20 million yen, and could only envy Horikita Suzune who had done so.

And...

The red-haired girl silently opened her OAA System. Her profile was actually quite ordinary. Despite Hashiba Hikaru emphasizing it many times and even taking the initiative to tutor Sakura Airi, her data still hadn't improved much.

Student information.

Sakura Airi, Class 2-D.

First year results.

Academic ability B...(68)

Physical Ability D...(30)

Flexible Thinking D...(25)

Social Contribution C+(65)

Comprehensive Ability C (47)

This overall score is already quite low. If it continues to drop, it's very likely to fall to a D grade. In the Class 2-D, Sakura Airi's Comprehensive Ability is currently ranked ninth from the bottom.

Faced with this Special Exam, the girl couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She gripped her phone tightly in her small hand. If she could, she would rather pass the exam on her own than bother Hashiba Hikaru, who was always so busy.

However, if you fail the exam, as Second Year student, you will be expelled.

Staying at school means I can continue being with Hashiba Hikaru, but if I drop out, I'll really have nothing left.

Sakura Airi curled up into a ball, lost in deep worry and turmoil.

Chapter 719 Kushida Kikyo plans to launch an ambush.

When Hashiba Hikaru brought Horikita Suzune to the classroom of Class 2-A, she immediately noticed the rather out-of-place desk and chair, which was placed on the left side of the classroom door in a very secluded location.

"Hikari, you're back!"

Upon seeing the black-haired girl next to her boyfriend, Ichinose Honami immediately moved closer, a polite smile on her face.

"And Horikita, welcome to our Class A family!"

"Thanks."

Horikita Suzune nodded. She saw the new desks and chairs placed here. Although this location was in the first row, it was too far from the center of the classroom. The girl had known for a long time where Hashiba Hikaru's seat was.

"Shibata, is this where you put it?"

Having probably understood everyone's arrangements, Hashiba Hikaru asked a question with a blank expression.

"Uh... I just moved in, is the location bad?"

Although Shibata Sou and Hashiba Hikaru good friends, he was still a little intimidated by the boy's gaze.

What do you think?

Hashiba Hikaru placed Horikita Suzune's schoolbag on the table, looked at her girlfriend whose smile had slightly frozen, and asked, "Honami, do you think this spot is suitable?"

"This..."

Ichinose Honami looked troubled, but she didn't dare tell Hashiba Hikaru directly that it was Ando Sayo's idea.

"I think it's fine, I can just sit here."

Horikita Suzune keenly sensed that something was off in the classroom. When Hashiba Hikaru asked that question, everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak. Even Ichinose Honami looked a little nervous.

"May I?"

Hearing the girl's reply, Hashiba Hikaru seemed quite surprised by her decision.

"Yes, it's the same wherever you sit."

Horikita Suzune sat down directly, her voice calm, "Classmate Hashiba, don't worry about it."

"All right."

A relieved smile appeared on the boy's face, and he nodded, saying, "That's fine then, you'll get used to it eventually."

"Um."

After Horikita Suzune sat down, she reached out and hung her backpack on the right side of the table. In addition to the updated student information, her class schedule had also been changed. The girl took out her Tablet Computer with a calm expression.

"Let's welcome Horikita- kun to the team!"

After she finished tidying up, Hashiba Hikaru immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.

With him taking the lead, the others quickly reacted and began to applaud and welcome Horikita Suzune's joining.

Thank you everyone.

"Class is about to start, so I'll go back to my seat."

"Good."

Hashiba Hikaru studied the girl's calm face and nodded in satisfaction.

She's never been one to care about what others think, so she'll probably adapt to the new learning environment quickly, since there's nothing in Class D that she'd miss.

After school, Ichinose Honami continued to lead her classmates to contact the first-year students.

At the end of the New and Old Student Exchange Meeting, Class 2-A took the lead in creating a large communication group, which included new students from various classes to facilitate communication and increase the chances of successfully forming teams.

"Hikaru, are you going back to the dorm for dinner later?"

Ichinose Honami saw Hashiba Hikaru get up and walk towards Horikita Suzune's seat, he guessed that she was going to the Student Council together with her, so he quickly called out.

"Yes, there won't be too much to do today. I'll probably be back before 6:30."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly. His dissatisfaction with the seating arrangement wasn't directed at Ichinose Honami, of course. After all, it was easy to guess that the girls in the class were the ones who did it.

"Okay, I'll make dinner and wait for you to come back."

Okay~

The boy said softly, "Honami, don't work too hard. There's still more than a week left, and teaming up with the first-year students isn't that urgent."

"I see."

Ichinose Honami nodded with a smile. Although she and Horikita Suzune had officially become classmates, she believed that her position in her boyfriend's heart had not been greatly affected, and that was enough.

"Let's go to the Student Council then. You have a meeting with the Disciplinary Committee later, so let's save time."

After giving a few instructions, Hashiba Hikaru left the classroom, Horikita Suzune quickly followed, her steps light and quick.

Because he was going to meet Amasawa Ichika today, the boy quickly finished his Student Council work. Just as he started organizing the documents, Kushida Kikyo suddenly burst into the office and quickly closed the door.

"What's wrong?"

Hashiba Hikaru could roughly guess what the other party had come for, and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

"How was the atmosphere in Class A this afternoon? Did anything go wrong?"

After Kushida Kikyo walked over, she sat on the boy's lap without saying a word, looking into his eyes with a smile.

"What's all the fuss about?"

Hashiba Hikaru pretended to know what he was talking about, stacking the files together and aligning them neatly on the desktop.

"When Honami saw Horikita walk into your classroom, didn't he feel any sense of territoriality, like a girlfriend?"

Kushida Kikyo breathed hot air onto the boy's face, her voice thick and sticky.

"Honami isn't like that at all; she actually welcomed Suzune very warmly."
