When the black-haired girl with a cold expression stood up, Class D students were surprised. She had never spoken up like this before. Had she discovered something?
"Honami, did you discover something?"
Kushida, seeing Horikita stand up, asked immediately with concern: "Can you tell us?"
"Hashima," Horikita Suzune ignored Kushida and fixed her cold eyes on the boy on the podium, "what's your goal? Say it directly."
Since discovering the observers, she hadn't stopped thinking. As they were interested in Class D's point consumption, their goal was certainly linked to personal points.
And today, Hashima from Class B was probably the observers' leader, the one giving orders.
"Alright, I won't hide anything."
Hashima kept his warm smile. Since Horikita Suzune had already guessed, it would save him a lot of work.
Other Class D students were perplexed. Though they disliked Horikita's cold attitude, as if she were superior, her words intrigued them.
After all, personal points were the school's currency, and everyone was sensitive to them.
"Hashima, can you tell us what this is about?"
Kushida, though ignored by Horikita, remained calm. She continued to worry about the class and questioned the boy.
"Yes, Hirata, can you distribute it to everyone? Once everyone has read it, I'll continue."
Hearing Hashima, Hirata and Kushida immediately approached to take the contracts. After reading the content, their expressions changed.
"This is..."
"A confidentiality contract? The school has hidden rules?!"
After reading the contract, Hirata was extremely shocked. He would never have imagined the school had such things. And apparently, Class B already knew these rules and was coming to sell them.
"Honami, so this was your goal today?"
Kushida was filled with surprise. She looked at the pink-haired girl beside Hashima, who simply nodded with a smile and said softly, "Yes, but don't worry, Kushida. I can guarantee this transaction is fair. The hidden rules were bought by us, and now, we're simply reselling them."
"Hirata, let's first distribute the contracts to everyone, then listen to their opinions."
Understanding Hashima and Honami's goal, Kushida became very active. As Class D's little angel, she was very dynamic.
"I understand."
Though full of questions, Hirata realized the two Class B students wanted to sell the rules to all of Class D, and this contract was the most important proof.
In no time, all Class D students received a printed contract. Their expressions varied, each having different thoughts.
"One million points? You must be crazy!"
Yamauchi, already rude, exclaimed after reading the contract: "You want to scam us?"
His friend, Ikemachi, immediately joined him:
"It's too expensive. What hidden rules? Do we really need to buy?"
"I won't give my points to strangers. I have a club to join. I don't have time for your nonsense!"
The red-haired, athletic boy was very unpleasant. He had stayed only out of respect for Hirata, but after seeing the so-called contract, he understood they were selling hidden rules.
Sudo wasn't interested. He just wanted to quickly join the basketball club. The seniors were noticing him, and this was his best chance to realize his dream.
"Hirata, I'm leaving. I won't participate in this plan. Do whatever you want!"
Without hesitation, Sudo took his sports bag and left the class.
Seeing him leave, Yamauchi and Ikemachi also wanted to leave. They took their bags and prepared to follow Sudo.
But at that moment, Kushida stopped them.
"Yamauchi, Ikemachi, don't you really want it?" The short-haired girl adopted a pitiful expression. After reading the contract, she immediately calculated the price. For one million points, each Class D student would need to contribute 25,000 points. The more participants, the lighter the burden.
"Kushida, it's not that I don't want it, but it's too expensive."
Yamauchi, stopped by the beautiful Kushida, hesitated. But in answering, his expression was embarrassed.
Though only a week had passed, he had already spent over 60,000 points. If he had to pay more, he wouldn't have enough for later.
"Then, can you wait a bit? I want to continue asking Hashima. If the hidden rules they have are really important, I hope everyone can contribute for the class."
Hearing Kushida, Class D students who wanted to leave hesitated. After all, Kushida was very popular in the class, and everyone trusted her, as well as Hirata.
"Yes, Hashima only said he had rules. As for whether we should buy, it depends on his sincerity. Can you wait a bit?"
Hirata spoke at the right moment. He looked at the smiling boy and said seriously, "Hashima, can you explain how you obtained these hidden rules?"
"Of course."
Hashima looked at Class D students, then at Horikita Suzune, who had spoken and sat down. She held the contract in one hand and her phone in the other, her expression very serious.
"I can tell you we bought these rules from a teacher for three million points," Hashima made a gesture with three fingers, this lie being already rehearsed, so his expression remained calm, "which is why we're selling them to you for one million."
"As for why this price, you can calculate. After all, there are four first-year classes."
The boy smiled slightly, relaxed. Deceiving Class D was less complicated than Class A. The most important thing was to convince them to pay.
At that moment, Honami added, "In addition to buying the rules, this contract was printed by a teacher and bears the school's seal, proving we're not lying."
"You can check carefully, then decide if you want to buy the hidden rules."
After these words, Class D students immediately looked at the seal at the bottom of the contract. It was identical to the admission letter's seal, increasing the pair's credibility.
Hirata and Kushida immediately understood why Hashima was proposing one million points. He seemed to want to sell the rules to all other classes and recover the points paid by his own class.
"So, what do you think?"
Hashima knew Class D students were less talented than Class A's, but Hirata and Kushida seemed interested. If they could influence others, there was hope for recovering points.
As for him, he needed to intervene at the right moment to finalize the transaction.
"Don't rush, Hashima. I'm sure everyone will agree."
After Hashima's explanation, Hirata understood the importance of the hidden rules. Since the rules were worth three million and they were only asking for one million, it was a good deal.
"Everyone, can you trust me?" Hirata stood in the middle of the class, anxious, looking at Class D students. "I became representative to better help you and offer a great school life."
"Now that Hashima has proven the school has hidden rules, why not accept? Does anyone really care?"
"The hidden rules, we don't know what they are yet, but I'm sure Hashima isn't lying. If he wants to sell his class's rules, why refuse? Don't you trust me?"
Though trying to convince them, Hirata didn't want to be too insistent. That was his principle.
After these words, a girl immediately stood up.
