Amamiya Natsuna Feels Like She's Sick

Sakayanagi Arisu continued to explain, "Didn't three of us drop out in our Second Year? That means there will be three people who won't be able to form a team, and their exam scores will be calculated as double their individual scores."

"Once the impact of this incident reaches its maximum, Ayanokoji will probably have no choice but to take the exam according to this plan, which will minimize the risk."

"That's true."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded.

"When the school will clarify the rumors is not our focus. The plan I just mentioned can be carried out simultaneously to test the attitudes of the people on the list, thereby determining whether they are from the [White Room]."

Hashiba Hikaru the plan's logic and concluded that it truly had great potential.

Sakayanagi Arisu's gaze swept over the two people in front of her. Although the analysis was good, it was still missing one crucial prerequisite before it could be implemented.

"Since everyone thinks this plan is good, we should discuss its most crucial part."

The silver-haired girl stared at her lover, wanting to hear his opinion.

"If you're posting anonymously, you must have convincing evidence; simply spreading rumors is pointless."

Hashiba Hikaru looked at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's face. "Didn't you check Miyabi Nagumo's phone? Was there anything related on it?"

"There are only call logs; there are no emails or similar documents."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka recalled that, perhaps to be on the safe side, Tsukishiro only used Miyabi Nagumo as a contact person, and he personally handled the final authorization and verification.

"If that's the case, it seems we still need to obtain some crucial information."

Hashiba Hikaru's meaning was simple: since Tsukishiro had chosen several first-year students to participate in the exam that would force Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to drop out of school, he needed the appropriate authorization and certification.

Of course, it's also possible that he communicated directly by word of mouth, which would be a bit troublesome, as we would need to obtain an audio recording.

"This step is the most crucial. Only if we can obtain similar supporting documents can we truly achieve a decisive victory."

Hashiba Hikaru touched her chin, then took out her phone.

"Classmate Hashiba, do you already have an idea?"

"I asked Sakayanagi Arisu curiously."

"We've all forgotten one thing: a member of the [White Room] whose identity has already been confirmed was not included in this plan."

"Amasawa Ichika?"

"How do you plan to use her?"

Sakayanagi Arisu right to the point.

"It's cooperation, not exploitation."

Hashiba Hikaru said seriously, "Although I don't know what the courses in the [White Room] are like, she should be able to do something as simple as secretly checking her classmates' phones, right?"

"..."

"If all else fails, we can try to probe Tsukishiro; as long as we can find the documents, it'll be fine."

Hashiba Hikaru recalled her collaboration with Amasawa Ichika. Although she hadn't participated in the project, she should have been able to report information to Tsukishiro, since he had sent her to probe her attitude, and now that was done, wasn't it?

"In that case, let's leave this matter to Classmate Hashiba for now. Time is limited, so I hope you can speed things up."

Sakayanagi Arisu smoothed her hair, her tone suddenly becoming somewhat strange.

"Of course, I can contact her right now."

"In that case, let's adjourn the meeting for today."

"Can."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka didn't hesitate much. He was now confident and no longer worried about forming a partnership.

After the trio became a duo, Sakayanagi Arisu looked at her lover sitting next to her; he was texting Amasawa Ichika.

Do you think this junior will obediently listen to you?

I think so.

After editing the message, Hashiba Hikaru clicked send.

What if she makes demands?

"That's possible. As long as it's not too unreasonable, it wouldn't hurt to agree."

Hashiba Hikaru had a smile on her face. Everything was for the long term. Destroying Tsukishiro was only the first step. The key was to reduce his prestige and get Sakayanagi Narimori back as soon as possible.

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Sakayanagi Arisu's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Perhaps it was hormones at play, or perhaps it was because of some more intimate contact yesterday, that made the silver-haired girl so resistant to her man continuing to have contact with a junior she had just met.

"What's wrong? Your expression doesn't look right."

After sending the text message, Hashiba Hikaru noticed Sakayanagi Arisu's unusual expression.

"Nothing."

The silver-haired girl gently shook her head.

"Hehe, I can probably guess what you're thinking. Nothing will happen between me and this junior Amasawa. After all, I don't have any extra time to spare."

Hashiba Hikaru smiled. His ability to read people was already quite strong. Although Sakayanagi Arisu's personality wasn't as easy to figure out as others, she was, after all, just a teenage girl, and in many ways, she was still quite simple.

"Has my presence already interfered with Classmate Hashiba and his younger schoolmate's sweet talk?"

Sakayanagi Arisu. As a latecomer, she didn't want the number of people to continue to increase, regardless of whether she had tasted the first soup or not.

"Haha, you can put your worries to rest now."

A few seconds later, Hashiba Hikaru handed over her phone with a smile, which displayed Amasawa Ichika's reply.

[Received. I will have the information before the end of today. Please rest assured, Senior Hashiba.]

"She didn't make any demands."

"... Is that so?"

Sakayanagi Arisu looked away, feeling a sense of relief.

Chapter 733 Amasawa Ichika feels that she is sick.

Amasawa Ichika was very efficient; before dinner, she sent a message to Hashiba Hikaru that the mission was completed.

"Wow, that's incredibly efficient."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at the message and a smile of appreciation appeared on her face.

"Hikari, what are you looking at?"

Sitting opposite her Ichinose Honami noticed her boyfriend's smile and quickly looked over.

The students in Class 2-A are making quick progress in forming teams. She selected a girl from Class A of the First Year with a B+ academic level and plans to have a meal with her tomorrow, and then start reviewing together next week.

"There's something that's progressing, but we've encountered an obstacle."

"Is it resolved?"

"Of course, that's why I'm happy. After all, our partners are very efficient. Shouldn't we be happy?"

Hashiba Hikaru turned off his phone and replied to Amasawa Ichika, " Let's meet at 7 PM tonight."

That's wonderful!

The pink-haired girl gazed at Hashiba Hikaru's face, her smile gentle. "I don't quite know what Hikari has been busy with, but I'm glad she was able to resolve it smoothly."

"Hmm... I should be able to relax a bit after this Special Exam is over."

Hashiba Hikaru said softly to his girlfriend, "Then I'll have more time to spend with Honami."

"I'm not in a hurry; the matter of light is more important."

Ichinose Honami always adhered to the theory that non-contention is the highest form of contention. She believed in her lover and in the accuracy of her judgment.

"Let's wait a little longer, the exam will be over soon."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't say anything more. He cared about Ichinose Honami, but there were more important things to do right now, so he could only ask her to put up with it for the time being.

"By the way, has Light's partner been chosen yet?"

Ichinose Honami suddenly asked, "Hashiba Hikaru, as the school's most admired straight A's, hasn't even formed a partner yet. Many first-year students come to Class 2-A to inquire about this, since everyone is really interested in the boy."

"No rush. If everything goes smoothly, I estimate we'll be partners by tomorrow. Don't worry about me, Honami."

"Really?"

Ichinose Honami stared intently at his face. This Special Exam was a cross-grade collaborative format, and there was only so much she could do; she couldn't directly help her boyfriend.

"Of course, does Honami really think I can't successfully form a team?"

Hashiba Hikaru smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll handle these things."

"Um..."

After the two finished dinner together, Hashiba Hikaru prepared to go out to meet Amasawa Ichika, while Ichinose Honami stayed in his room to tidy up.

"Hikaru, will you be coming back to stay overnight tonight?"

"..."

Hashiba Hikaru didn't return to her dorm last night. Although Ichinose Honami didn't say much, hearing her ask made Hashiba Hikaru a little nervous.

"I'll be back, around eight o'clock."

The boy thought for a moment and gave a rough timeframe.

"Yes, I'll wait for the light."

Ichinose Honami, wearing an apron, watched Hashiba Hikaru leave like a wife seeing her husband off, her smile gentle.

"Good."

He and Amasawa Ichika agreed to meet downstairs in the Special Building, as the place was easy to find and a good meeting point.

"Senior Hashiba!"

Upon seeing the boy appear before her, Amasawa Ichika, who had arrived earlier, immediately smiled and waved to him.

"Good evening, Amasawa, junior."

Hehehe.

A cute expression appeared on the girl's pretty face; she was in a good mood because she had successfully completed the task.

With this help, she can have more connections with Hashiba Hikaru in the future, and Amasawa Ichika is really looking forward to it.

"I didn't expect Junior Amasawa to be so efficient; it's truly astonishing."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at the other person's expression and pressed, "What information did you obtain?"

"It's a notification contract that Takahashi photographed."

When Amasawa Ichika received this information, he was actually quite surprised. Although he had guessed that Tsukishiro would send more students from the [White Room] to this school, he did not expect that he would directly contact the students of the four first-year classes and ask them to carry out the mission of expelling Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

Most importantly, she was completely unaware of this mission.

"Disclosure agreement?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics of what happened, but I think Takahashi took a picture of the document just to be on the safe side."

Amasawa Ichika took out her phone and showed the footage she had taken to Hashiba Hikaru.

"The people who signed this agreement are all the first-year students who participated in this exam. Apart from that, there don't seem to be any other proof. After all, only one person can win in the end, and the rules are very simple."

"Yeah?"

Hashiba Hikaru looked down at the photo in her hand. It contained a very simple contract. Apart from the sole condition for winning, which was to expel Ayanokoji Kiyotaka from school, there was Tsukishiro's seal and a square area for everyone to sign.

There were six people in total, and they all wrote down their names.

"I never expected there to be such an exam; I had absolutely no idea about it."

Amasawa Ichika kept observing Hashiba Hikaru's changing expressions, wanting to know how he viewed the matter.

"I didn't expect this either; it's really unfair."
