The Show Is About to Begin / Kushida Kikyou's Shock

"That's fine too. After all, Hashiba- kun is a very outstanding person. With his help, we'll definitely be able to quell this rumor quickly."

Tsukishiro seemed to approve of the suggestion.

"First, print out multiple copies of this clarification document and post them on various bulletin boards. Then, the Student Council can post a clarification online. This part of the matter will be handled by Hoshinomiya-sensei, and let Hashiba- kun take the lead."

"I see."

Chie Hoshinomiya smiled.

Although today's emergency meeting was somewhat anticlimactic, she actually understood the deeper meaning behind the School Board representative's words. As a graduate of this institution, the female teacher's stance was also aligned with Sakayanagi Narimori's.

"In that case, let's adjourn the meeting for today. Everyone should focus on the upcoming Special Exam."

After saying this, Tsukishiro told the homeroom teachers to leave together.

Only the homeroom teacher of Class D of the First Year, named Shimaku Norinori, was left alone in the office.

After leaving the Chairman's office, Mashima Tomoya called out to the other three Second Year teachers, as if he had something to say and wanted to hold a second meeting.

As we walked into another small office, Chie Hoshinomiya asked with a smile.

"Teacher Mashima, is there something you want to say?"

"Yes, our time is very precious."

Sakagami Kazuma, the person in charge of Class 2-C, had a somewhat gloomy look in his eyes, but he did not show any impatience.

The class advisors in their year actually had a good relationship, and when Mashima Tomoya suggested continuing the discussion, no one objected.

"Is it because of Acting Chairman Tsukishiro's matter?"

Chabashira Sae crossed her arms, her tone indifferent.

"Yes, actually, before this post appeared today, I received an anonymous tip-off."

Mashima Tomoya's gaze swept over his colleagues present, then he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to several homeroom teachers for them to read.

"There's actually something like this?"

Chie Hoshinomiya was very surprised and immediately became interested.

"A whistleblower letter?"

Sakagami Kazuma and Chabashira Sae were somewhat surprised. After they finished reading the letter, the small Conference Room suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

After a long silence, it was Mashima Tomoya, the initiator of the meeting, who broke the silence.

"Now that everyone has read this whistleblower letter, what are your thoughts?"

"If anyone tries to force their way out of this, I will absolutely not agree!"

Chie Hoshinomiya was the first to speak up, her previously smiling face turning serious.

"Can Teacher Mashima verify the authenticity of this whistleblower letter?"

Sakagami Kazuma pressed for an answer.

"Whether it's true or false still needs time to prove. If the content is true, I will do something from my perspective; that's my duty as a teacher."

Teacher Mashima held the letter of complaint in her hand, her tone serious.

"I will support you, Teacher Mashima."

Chie Hoshinomiya quickly chimed in, "And I can also have my precious student help you."

"You mean Classmate Hashiba?"

"Yes, he can do a lot of things, don't you all think so?"

"..."

Mashima Tomoya looked at Chie Hoshinomiya, who had a smug smile on her face, and suddenly asked a question.

Are you showing off to me?

"That's right."

"..."

Chapter 739 The show is about to begin.

Soon the appointed time arrived, and Hashiba Hikaru sent a message to Yagami Takuya, then headed to their destination with Kushida Kikyo.

It was a Multipurpose Classroom that the boy had carefully chosen, located on the fifth floor of Special Building in a corner. Just to be on the safe side, the boy paid points to purchase the right to use the classroom for one day and obtained the key to lock the door.

"Is this the place that Hikaru-kun chose?"

After entering the Multipurpose Classroom with Hashiba Hikaru, Kushida Kikyo looked somewhat curious.

This is a fairly large multimedia classroom. In addition to rows of neatly arranged brown tables and chairs, there is a large open space in front, which can be used to store teaching materials and a portable blackboard.

However, this classroom is not used very often. Although it is fully equipped, it is often unused, which, combined with the white curtains hanging by the window, gives it a slightly eerie feeling.

"So, are you satisfied with my choice?"

Hashiba Hikaru's gaze swept across every corner of the classroom. It was located in a corner on the fifth floor, and since it was the weekend, almost no one would come here.

"I feel like something's off."

Kushida Kikyo isn't timid; she just wants to stick close to Hashiba Hikaru, which is her most important hobby right now.

"Time is almost up, our VIP guest should be entering soon."

Hashiba Hikaru pulled Kushida Kikyo's hand and they casually found a seat. The desks and chairs in this classroom were arranged from back to front according to their height, so when people sat back, they had a feeling of looking down at the podium at the front.

"How many people did Guang actually invite? I'm really curious."

Hashiba Hikaru had never explicitly told the girl why she had invited Yagami Takuya. Now, after entering the classroom, Kushida Kikyo felt a strong urge to know what he had planned for today.

"No rush, the main character of today's grand show is neither me nor Kikyo."

Hashiba Hikaru spoke gently; he was always very patient with his girls.

"Eh, so I'm not the main character after all?"

Kushida Kikyo was a little dumbfounded, but she quickly seemed to realize something and hurriedly asked, "Hikaru-kun, you're not planning to do something dangerous, are you?"

"Of course not, I just wanted to teach this junior a lesson and, incidentally, teach him a principle of life."

Hashiba Hikaru's tone was very calm.

"Attend class?"

Kushida Kikyo didn't quite understand what Hashiba Hikaru meant, but then she thought about it again. Anyway, she was the kind of person who judged people rather than things, so as long as her boyfriend didn't suffer any losses, it was fine.

"Let's wait a little longer. If we want to see a good show, everyone on stage needs to be there."

Hashiba Hikaru's gaze was fixed on the classroom door; footsteps were already approaching.

"Classmate Hashiba."

The first person to walk in had short silver hair and wore a pure white beret. A gentle smile graced her delicate and pretty face.

"Classmate Sakayanagi, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Hashiba Hikaru, Sakayanagi Arisu did not greet Kushida Kikyo, who was leaning against Hashiba Hikaru, but walked directly towards the two of them.

Are you planning to sit here?

Sakayanagi Arisu asked.

"Of course, Ayanokoji is the main character today."

Hashiba Hikaru explained without hesitation, "He's already up the stairs, but as for Yagami, we'll have to wait a while longer."

"So today's main character is Ayanokoji?"

Kushida Kikyo was genuinely surprised. She had long suspected that her classmate was quite capable, but she never expected that Hashiba Hikaru would organize a special event for him today.

"Yes, I'm just someone who provides opportunities; the most important things are for him to handle himself."

Hashiba Hikaru quickly gestured for Sakayanagi Arisu to sit down. Of course, the girl wanted to sit with him, and since Kushida Kikyo was sitting on the left, she naturally sat on the right.

"Is Kushida also in the audience today?"

Sakayanagi Arisu seemed somewhat displeased with Kushida Kikyo's appearance. After all, their trio had many secrets, and if outsiders found out, it could lead to some risks that could have been avoided.

"Don't worry, she won't talk nonsense..."

Hashiba Hikaru shook her head and explained gently, "Kikyo is a key bait today. If you're going to fish, you can't do it without bait."

"Hello!"

Kushida Kikyo nudged the other with her shoulder, somewhat annoyed. Although being called bait made her a little unhappy, she was still happy to be able to participate in Hashiba Hikaru's plan, since even Ichinose Honami didn't have this kind of opportunity.

Who are the audience members today?

After hearing Hashiba Hikaru's statement, Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to accept the answer, and then casually asked another question.

"There's another person who might surprise you, Classmate Sakayanagi. Why don't you guess who it is?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on his handsome face.

"Wait... could it be Amasawa, my junior?"

"Smack!"

The boy snapped his fingers, his tone triumphant, "Correct answer, but unfortunately there's no reward."

"It really is her?"

Sakayanagi Arisu was greatly surprised, although she had long known that Hashiba Hikaru planned to place her people among the first-year students, since this would make it easier to carry out the operation.

However, Amasawa Ichika was a confirmed member of the [White Room] long ago, and the risk of dealing with such a dangerous situation was very high. Although she believed that Hashiba Hikaru's abilities would definitely not lead to anything going wrong, it was best to be cautious when it came to such an important issue.

"Don't worry, she's still considered trustworthy for now, and the reason we called her over today is to further confirm her attitude."

Hashiba Hikaru pointed to the open space at the front, "The stage is all set up, just waiting for the main actors to come on stage."

No sooner had he finished speaking Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, expressionless, pushed open the classroom door.

Good afternoon, Ayanokoji.

"Good afternoon."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's gaze fell upon them, but his expression remained calm even after he saw the two girls flanking Hashiba Hikaru.

He had seen this kind of scene many times before, and he was already used to it.

"Ayanokoji, after Yagami arrives, you can lock the classroom door first, that will make things more convenient."

Hashiba Hikaru stood up and tossed the key in her hand. After tracing a perfect arc in the air, it landed steadily in Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's hand.

"Understood."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought for a moment, since Hashiba Hikaru had already explained some things to him on her phone, and he was already mentally prepared.

The next second.

A first-year student with red pigtails slowly pushed open the classroom door.

Amasawa Ichika's face was originally smiling, but after seeing the members in the classroom, her expression clearly froze.

Chapter 740 Kushida Kikyo's Shock.

After entering the Multipurpose Classroom, Amasawa Ichika's gaze slowly swept over the few people inside, her feelings somewhat complicated.

Because she knew everyone here.

Hashiba Hikaru goes without saying. The person standing in the open space in front is Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who also comes from the "White Room," a very prestigious organization, once hailed as the "Masterpiece."

The silver-haired girl is Sakayanagi Arisu. Although Amasawa Ichika didn't know her before, her name appears frequently after he came to this school, and it seems that she still has some connection with the [White Room].

As for the short-haired girl who leaned her head on Hashiba Hikaru, her name is Kushida Kikyo. She is a well-known socialite in Class 2-D. Amasawa Ichika, a freshman in Class A of the First Year, had already met her a long time ago.

But... why are she and Senior Hashiba- senpai so intimate?

What's going on here?

"Junior Amasawa, you're here! Quickly find a seat."
