Chapter 180 - Mutual Cooperation

Even though he had seen many girls with excellent figures, Kaoru Mitoma was still somewhat surprised.

Most of the time, a slender frame wouldn't develop into a huge chest.

The so-called "fruit on a thin branch" was actually a rare case, as most girls had small chests.

Take Arisu Sakayanagi, for example.

She would probably remain flat-chested for life unless she experienced a miraculous second growth spurt.

At this tender age, Kaoru Mitoma had initially thought that Honami Ichinose would be the most dazzling girl.

However, after seeing Haruka Hasebe, he had to retract his previous assumption.

Haruka Hasebe was a slightly tall girl with smooth, long hair that had slightly curled ends.

Unlike others, she didn't have bangs, revealing her smooth forehead, giving her a somewhat carefree appearance.

Her body proportions were excellent—a slender waist, a delicate frame, yet with an overly developed chest.

She crossed her arms, seemingly trying to support the weight of her chest.

Even a high-quality shirt struggled under the pressure, making one wonder if the buttons of her uniform might pop off.

Though her chest was similar in size to Honami Ichinose's, the different shapes added a unique allure.

From the side, one could see the natural, full curves.

At this moment, Haruka Hasebe seemed to be idly observing the people around her, her phone placed beside her elbow.

It seemed she would soon lose interest.

[I can't take it anymore, quickly make her wear a maid outfit!]

[Sis, show us your inner wear!]

[Without Hasebe-san scolding, life is not worth living!]

[I want to lick Haruka Hasebe's feet!]

[Can I touch your breast?]

[Soft, fragrant, big—I want to lick it!]

[Please, you must wear a naked apron!]

[Haruka Hasebe could be my mommy!]

[Hehe, woman, you owe me a child!]

...

"Ahem, since the exam has started, should we follow the school's requirement and introduce ourselves?" Honami Ichinose suddenly broke the silence, pulling Kaoru Mitoma's attention back to her.

"Self-introduction?" Komiya from Class C seemed a bit resistant.

"There's no need for that. There are no surveillance cameras here, so no matter what we say, the school won't know."

"Even though there are no cameras, what if the school has installed recording devices?" Honami Ichinose replied calmly.

"Moreover, this is a school requirement, so I think there must be some significance to it."

Komiya instinctively glanced at Hiyori Shiina, who reluctantly closed her book and then nodded.

"I have no objections. It's better to fulfill the school's requirements as soon as possible."

With that, Honami Ichinose effortlessly won over Class C, and Class D obviously had no objections either.

Next came the self-introduction session.

Kaoru Mitoma noticed that most people were indifferent and didn't take the self-introductions seriously.

However, when it was his turn, Hiyori Shiina's eyes widened slightly.

"Eh, so Mitoma-kun is here too?" The girl expression was somewhat excited, her eyes sparkling.

Kaoru Mitoma was taken aback.

Had she only just noticed him now?

"Ahem, after the self-introductions, we'll move on to the formal discussion. Is anyone willing to start it?" Honami Ichinose interrupted the atmosphere, her gaze somewhat unfriendly as she looked at Kaoru Mitoma.

At that moment, Masayoshi Hashimoto whispered beside him.

"Although the princess hasn't given any instructions, I guess I can only listen to you at this point, right?"

Kaoru Mitoma glanced at Miki Yamamura beside him.

From this angle, he could see the girl's collarbone as well as her slightly rounded figure.

Her small chest looked like a pudding.

"I-I'll listen to you too."

Miki Yamamura's voice was also soft, as if she was not used to being the center of attention.

Kaoru Mitoma sighed helplessly.

"Are you guys planning to dump all the thinking on me?"

Masayoshi Hashimoto chuckled, his expression saying.

"With you here, I can slack off until graduation."

Although he was still Sakayanagi faction member, his keen intuition made him sense a way out in Kaoru Mitoma, perhaps ensuring his smooth graduation from Class A.

"N-no, if you find it annoying, I can stay quiet" Miki Yamamura was a bit more serious.

Kaoru Mitoma shook his head.

"No need to be so nervous. This exam is just like that and I won't be starting it either. Let's just stay quiet."

As they spoke, Honami Ichinose stood up and looked around.

"It seems no one particularly wants to start the discussion. If no one minds, I'll take the lead in the upcoming discussion."

Unsurprisingly, no one objected.

In this group, Honami Ichinose was probably the only one with exceptional social skills.

"The premise of the discussion is that everyone should have a common topic. So, I have a question for everyone: if none of us are the 'VIP's,' wouldn't it be better to aim for Outcome One?"

Her meaning was clear: to achieve Outcome One, the entire group must trust and cooperate with each other.

At the same time, this also exposed Honami Ichinose's problem.

Kaoru Mitoma remained silent.

It seemed his little girlfriend hadn't realized it yet and had just fallen into the school's trap.

"Hmph, we don't want to cooperate. Who knows if you'll betray the VIP?" Komiya was the first to jump out in opposition, but this actually made it easier to fall into Honami Ichinose's trap.

"If we all work together, everyone can earn personal points. Even the VIP stands to gain, right?" Honami Ichinose smiled slightly.

"Could it be that Komiya-kun is the VIP?"

"O-of course not!" Komiya hurriedly denied, but his gaze kept flickering toward Hiyori Shiina.

Hiyori Shiina spoke softly "For everyone, cooperation is naturally the best outcome. But Ichinose-san, what method do you have to ensure that no one will betray us?"

This question was the most crucial point.

Aside from Outcome One, the other three outcomes were designed to pit the students against each other.

Honami Ichinose looked at Kaoru Mitoma and suddenly asked.

"What do the students from Class A think?"

Hashimoto Masayoshi had completely given up, Miki Yamamura kept her head down, so Kaoru Mitoma had to step up.

After a moment of thought, he said.

"Whatever decision everyone makes, we will respect it."

In other words, it's up to you.

Honami Ichinose was momentarily stunned, then shifted her gaze back to Hiyori Shiina and continued.

"Right now, no one knows who the VIP is. The VIP can hear our conversation. For the VIP, they can earn personal points without doing anything, but we will gain nothing."

After a pause, she added.

"The reason everyone is afraid of betrayal is because we can't trust each other yet. I can now represent Class B and promise everyone that as long as you're willing to cooperate, we will never betray you."

This was Honami Ichinose's personal credibility and also her weapon.
