Seeing Iose's stock price rise after his maneuver, Hashima Hikaru felt quite satisfied. Without missing a beat, he tinued expining his pn to the rest of Css 1-B.
"Of course, this is just a preliminary idea. There's no guarahat Css 1-A will accept our offer to purchase the rules. iation will be key."
Hikaru stroked his , aowledging the uain oute. If Css 1-A refused to take the bait, the whole pn would fall ft.
At that moment, Iose raised her fair, delicate hand at just the right time.
After listening to Hikaru's expnation, she had fully grasped that future css petition would revolve around two key factors: Css Points and Private Points.
If Css 1-B could accumute more Private Points, then even if they suffered dedus in Css Points, they would still have leverage to turn things around.
"Iose-san, if you have any suggestions, feel free to share them."
Hikaru smiled encingly. If Iose could establish herself as the visible leader of Css 1-B, it would be ideal—giving him more freedom to operate behind the ses.
After all, he couldn't pin all his hopes on this "angel." The smart move was to develop multiple stocks.
"When we go to Css 1-A to sell the rules, we should first present a tract prohibiting resale," Iose suggested, gng at Hoshinomiya, atg their discussion with amusement.
"A tract certified by the school would reinforce the legitimacy of our information. It would prove that we truly uand the hidden rules."
"This way, the students in Css 1-A will clearly uand our position."
"Hmm, that makes sense."
Hikaru nodded approvingly and tinued.
"As I mentioned before, Css 1-A sists of the best students selected by the school. Today is only the first day, so it's possible that some of them have already noticed irregurities within the system. However, we don't know if anyone has actually taken the initiative to purchase information on the rules."
"That's why today is the best window of opportunity. I propose that once we finish pig up the textbooks, we head straight to Css 1-A and seize this ce to collect Private Points."
"Agreed. This really is the best timing."
"I trust Hikaru's judgment. You should ha."
"Yes, I think Hikaru make the best decision for us."
The students of Css 1-B quickly reached a sensus. Sineone had taken the lead, the best thing they could do was support him from behind.
"No, this isn't something I handle alone. When we go to sell the rules, I want Iose-san to apany me."
Hikaru made his request. After all, if he wao increase Iose's stock value, it would be best if they acted together.
"Of course. I want to tribute to the css as well."
Iose readily agreed.
"Alright, that settles the pn for Css 1-A," Hikaru said, shifting his gaze to the letter ' the bckboard.
"Our arget is Css 1-C."
---
"Since Css 1-C is ranked below us, their students have lower overall evaluations. That means we slightly adjust our approach when selling the rules to them."
"...What do you mean by that?"
Hikaru's words left some cssmates fused, even Iose looked puzzled.
"Let's assume that none of the csses know the hidden rules of the school. What will happen a month from now?"
Hikaru gnced around the room before answering his owion.
"It's likely that every css will accumute some viotions of schutions, resulting iions to their Css Points. Based on the way csses are ranked from A to D, the lower-ranked csses are more likely to suffer heavier losses."
"In other words, Css 1-C will lose more Css Points than us. So there's o rush to sell them the rules."
Hikaru's expression turned sly as he tinued, "My idea is to wait a week or so—let them unknowingly accumute dedus in their Css Points first. Then, ohey start feeling the effects, we sell them the rules."
"That way, we maximize our profits."
"Not only will rivate Points from Css 1-C, but we will also widen the gap between our Css Points and theirs."
"What do you all think of this pn?"
After hearing his expnation, the entire css was left stunned.
They had never imagined su exploitative strategy ossible.
If this worked, not only would they recover some of their Private Points, but they could also lower Css 1-C's standing, increasing the gap between them.
"In that case, should we use the same strategy for Css 1-D?"
The purple-haired boy from earlier had clearly caught on and proposed his own thoughts.
"Yes. For Css 1-D, we dey selling the rules even further—by about two weeks. As long as we secure tracts with Css 1-A and Css 1-C, we ehat the rules won't leak."
"But what if the students in these csses realize something is wrong and start warning their cssmates to avoid breaking school rules?"
Iose, taking this pn seriously, diligently recorded key points in her notebook. She wao identify and address any potential loopholes.
"That's precisely why I said this pn involves a gamble," Hikaru admitted.
"Another factor we 't predict is how each css will spend their Private Points. If we wait too long, it's possible that by the time we move in to collect, they'll have already spent everything and won't be able to pay us."
Hikaru paused for a moment before looking across the .
"But our advantage lies in the information gap. That's why I suggest we mobilize the entire css."
"If we gather intel on the financial status of the other csses every day, we'll be able to gauge their awareness of the hidden rules. That way, we adjust the timing and increase our ces of success."
"This—" Hikaru turned back to the bckboard and wrote dowire Phased Points Harvesting Pn.
"This is my strategy. I hope you all will trust me."
"Css petition has already begun. If we want to graduate from Css 1-A together, we o work as one."
"Well said! I support Hikaru!"
"Me too!"
"Let's give him a round of appuse!"
The erupted into thunderous appuse. Hikaru g Iose, who was also g along with the rest of the css.
Her smile was radiant, captivatingly so.
But…
Why isn't the system updating?
Hikaru instinctively opened his system panel.
Even after revealing the full strategy, and even after emphasizing their shared goal of graduating from Css 1-A, Iose's stock price hadn't increased.
Just talking about an ideal future isn't enough anymore?
Hikaru narrowed his eyes in thought.
It seems I o actually execute the pn before her stock price will rise.
At that moment, the long-silent Hoshinomiya finally spoke up.
"Hikaru, I must say—you're quite impressive," she mused, smirking pyfully. "To think you came up with such a detailed strategy in such a short amount of time."
"It was just a spontaneous idea, sensei. You're fttering me."
"Well then—" Hoshinomiya's smirk widened.
"You use all that braio help me move the textbooks now, 't you?"
"...Yes, sensei."
"And Iose-san, you're helping too!"
"Of course!" Iose giggled.
