COTE: Bag And Love System

"Then…" Ichinose paused for a moment, then wrote the words "Special Exam" on the blackboard with chalk. "The second part is about the reward campaign for the special exam."

　　 Hearing the word "reward," the students in the class were immediately energized. They all remembered that in the morning, the school had rewarded Hikaru Hashima with 500,000 personal points.

　　 "The rules are very simple. According to Sensei Hoshinomiya, in the future we will frequently participate in special exams held by the school. Each special exam will reward the class based on the ranking."

　　 "Although for the moment we only know that the class evaluation score will be included in the reward, we do not rule out the possibility of other content, such as personal points."

　　 "And the reward mechanism is…"

　　Suddenly, Ichinose Honami turned around and pointed at Hashima Hikari who was beside her, and everyone followed suit and turned their eyes towards the boy.

　　 "Me?"

　　 Hashima Hikaru was immediately puzzled. Aren't you guys talking about the rules? Why are you involving me?

　　 Ichinose Honami blinked her beautiful eyes and spoke energetically.

　　 "For example, this time when Hashima-san revealed the school rules, our Class B received a total of 100 points in the class evaluation, and Hashima-san also received 500,000 personal points."

　　 "And the reward mechanism of the point collection plan is that if a student can help the class in future special exams and perform well."

　　 "So, this student doesn't need to hand over half of his personal points that month, and can keep them all for himself," Ichinose Honami explained to everyone, "After all, his contribution can benefit the entire class, so he can naturally enjoy the withdrawal guarantee treatment."

　　 "I see. If you do well enough in the special exam, you'll be able to enjoy insurance against future expulsion and won't have to hand over your personal points."

　　 "Yes," Ichinose Honami nodded. "As for how to determine whether or not students have made contributions in the special exam, we'll all discuss the relevant details together. It'll be more fair that way."

　　 After Ichinose finished explaining this reward system, everyone in Class B immediately understood.

　 Hashima Hikaru thought of this rule this morning, and it's very simple to apply.

If you want to quit, you just have to hand over half of your personal points each month. But if you work hard and help the class get assessment scores in future special exams, you don't have to pay personal points and you can even get other rewards.

　　 After all, the 20 million points were all earned by us all together, and if you want to avoid expulsion, you have to pay a certain price.

　　 "That's right," Ichinose Honami smiled brightly, "What do you think of this plan?"

　　 After Ichinose Honami finished explaining all of her plans, her eyes swept over the students in the classroom one by one, and soon responses were heard one after another in the classroom.

　　 "I agree!"

　　 "This plan is great, with some gains and some losses, so that we can all devote our whole hearts to the class."

　　 "Yes, this rule seems fair and everyone can understand it."

　　 After everyone in Class B realized the meaning of this reward system, everyone immediately agreed on the same thing. After all, no one wanted to suffer a loss, and if they wanted to take advantage of the expulsion exemption opportunities accumulated by their classmates with a clear conscience, they could either pay points or help the class.

　　 "Very well, thank you for your support."

　　 Ichinose Honami bowed to everyone in Class B and walked to Hashima Hikaru's side.

　　 "Thank you, Hashima-san. With these two plans, I believe no one from our Class B will be expelled!"

　　 Seeing the look of relief on the girl's face, Hashima Hikaru also nodded.

　　 "I think so too. Thank you for your hard work, Ichinose-san."

　　"It was all Hashima-san's idea. I was just carrying it out." Ichinose Honami's cute face showed a dreamy expression about the future and she whispered softly, "If we could always…"

　　"What?"

　　 Hashima Hikaru didn't hear this sentence clearly, but just as she wanted to ask Ichinose, a new message suddenly appeared on the system bar, attracting all of her attention.

　　 [Your classmates have recognized the two plans you came up with to help Class B. Ichinose Honami has started to trust you more. Ichinose Honami's stock price has risen by 10 points. The current stock price is: 120]

　　On the other hand, when Ichinose Honami heard the boy's question, her heart skipped a beat. He quickly realized that he had almost said what he wanted Hashima Hikaru to stay by his side forever, and he hurriedly explained, "It doesn't matter if you didn't hear it. It's not important anyway."

　　 "Hashima-san, can you let everyone go now? After all, the students are going to take action, right?"

"Actually."

　 Hashima Hikaru didn't care if he had missed anything at that moment. He was very satisfied to see the stock price going up, so the boy stood on the podium again with a smile on his face and spoke loudly to everyone.

　　 "Well, today's collective meeting ends here. Everyone can begin acting freely according to my plan right now."

　　 "Remember, don't reveal our plan."

　　 "I understand. Don't worry, Hashima-san!"

　　 After Hashima Hikaru announced the end of the meeting, everyone from Class B began to leave the classroom in groups. Everyone looked for partners they were familiar with to form small teams and then discussed the places they had chosen.

　　 These things that were freely coordinated by the students did not require strict assignment from Hashima Hikaru, and he did not intend to make detailed plans for each step.

　　 He is not the head of Class B. The students assigned to Class B are not giant babies and have good abilities in all aspects.

　　 When almost everyone had left, Hashima Hikaru looked at Ichinose, who was still in the classroom. She was surrounded by several girls and they seemed to be discussing which shampoo was better.

　　 Hashima Hikaru had no interest in this topic, so he simply walked over to say hello and then left the first-year Class B classroom.

　　 Currently, Hikaru Hashima knows very little about the school, so he plans to walk around the campus and gather some information.

　　 Like this, the day passed quickly. As Hashima Hikaru dragged his tired body back to his dorm, the messages on his mobile phone kept popping up.

　　 He opened it and saw that most of them were messages sent from the Class B group. Everyone was actively exchanging information, including what they had seen and heard today, and sharing it with each other.

　　 "Isn't this good?"

　　 After saying that, the boy quietly laid down on his single bed. He was really exhausted from the intense mental work of the past two days. He might lose his hair in the future.

　　 Thinking of this, Hashima Hikaru opened the system's [Trading Shop] and lines of text appeared before his eyes.

　　 [Stock Analyzer: 1000]

　　[Bow and Arrow: 2000]

　　[Piano Performance (Input): 150,000]

[Basketball (Mastery): 200000]

　　[Intelligence: 500000]

　　According to the system rules, the items in the [Trading Store] are refreshed once a month. Except for the [Stock Analyzer], which can be purchased multiple times, the other items can only be purchased once.

　　 "I think this month's products, except for the sports enhancers, can be put on hold. Although intelligence is important, it's a bit too expensive, 500,000!"

　　 After purchasing the sports enhancer yesterday, Hikaru Hashima currently has 169,000 system funds left. This amount of money can only be used to buy a few things in the store, so he quickly closed the system page.

　　 "In any case, we must speed up the development of new stocks."

　　 Hashima Hikaru was silently thinking. The price of the Ichinose Hoba stocks he had purchased was constantly rising. As long as he didn't deviate from Class B's overall goal of ascending, there would be no problems with the stock price for a while.

　　 After solving the primary physical strength problem by purchasing sports enhancers, he also wanted to obtain more skills or attributes through the system's [Trading Shop] so that he could gain a better advantage in the future class competition.

　　 "Try your luck tomorrow. Maybe you'll find new stocks."

　　 With the expectation of new stocks in the future, Hashima Hikaru decided to sleep early—after all, he had to get up early to race the next day.

　　 After finishing his training the next day, Hashima Hikaru entered the Class B classroom with breakfast, but found that the classmates inside, like yesterday, quickly looked at him as soon as he entered the door.

　　 No, so what?

　　 "Hashima-san, this is bad!"

　　 When a classmate saw Hashima Hikaru enter, he immediately called out his name anxiously. He seemed to be the boy who was asked to investigate the situation in Class C yesterday, Beppu Ryota.

　　 "Beppu-san, what's wrong?"

　　 "Yesterday I went to the volleyball club to talk to Oda Takumi according to Hashima-san's plan, and then I learned something very important."

　　 "What is it?"

　　 After Hashima Hikaru sat back in his seat, he began to listen attentively to the other party's conclusions.

　　 "Mr. Oda said that it hasn't been decided yet who will be the leader of Class C, but there is a very dangerous person who is trying to integrate the class and will soon succeed."

　　 "Danger?"

　　 Hashima Hikaru's expression changed and he immediately asked, "What do you mean by dangerous?"

　　 "Mr. Oda said that there is a student in his class named Ryuen Kakeru who is using violence to force everyone to vote for him to become the leader of Class C. He has already successfully obtained a portion of the votes."

"?"

　　 Violence?

　　 When he heard this word, a light flashed in Hashima Hikaru's mind, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a grave mistake.

　　 Every time he made a plan, he conceived it according to his preconceived notions. The boy originally believed that the students who could enter Tokyo Metropolitan High School would be people who would follow the rules.

　　 But if someone breaks the rules or even crosses the red line, all plans must be adjusted immediately, otherwise there will definitely be trouble.

　　 "I see. Now that you put it like that, it's a bit troublesome."

　　 Hashima Hikaru looked serious. If the future leader of Class C is a boy who loves violence, then they must reexamine the current situation.

　　 "Beppu-san, don't worry. This information is very important. I think we should go back to discussing our considerations for Class C."

　　 "Let's wait until everyone is here."

　　 "OK."

　　 When all the students from Class B arrived, there was still some time before class started, so Hashima Hikaru immediately called out to her deskmate Ichinose and several other students who had joined in on the plan earlier.

　　 Including Ryuji Kanzaki, Sa Shibata, and several other girls, everyone was sitting with serious expressions.

　　 After all, they had also heard about Class C's current situation and knew that Hashima Hikaru should adjust the plan now.

　　 "I think everyone has heard of Beppu-san's information," Hashima Hikaru said as she held a pen in her hand and wrote a word on her notebook: violence.

　　 "Yes, I heard some information as well," Kanzaki Ryuji looked at Hashima with a hint of disgust in her tone, "I heard that the boy named Ryuen used violence against his classmates on the first day of school."

　　 "Really? How could such a person have been admitted among us?"

　　 Ando frowned looking at her cute face, seeming to be quite disgusted by the use of violence, and the girls beside her also nodded their heads in agreement.

　　 "Anyway, what we know now is that this boy named Ryuen is a person who doesn't follow the rules," Hashima Hikaru paused, a sharp light flashing in his eyes, "Since he dares to use violence to integrate the class, it means that he can do many things that we can't imagine."

　　 Violent incidents on campuses are not an uncommon occurrence. Perhaps it is precisely because of the existence of an ivory tower like the school that there are incentives for violent behavior in certain aspects. We are all teenagers, and when the blood boils, it is no wonder that they do anything.

"Yes, that's what I thought after learning about this now," Ichinose held her chin with her hand, some worry in her blue eyes, "If we sell the rules to Class C, maybe more bad things will happen."

　　 "Indeed."

　　 Hashima Hikaru agreed with this. According to the information she heard, since Ryuuen wanted to use violence, the most direct method, to integrate the class on the first day, if he really knew the detailed rules of the school, it might lead to more violent incidents.

　　 After all, the rules that Class B bought for two million are very detailed and contain information that is not in the student handbook, such as how to conclude a contract and various ways to deduct points for class evaluation scores.

　　 "I think so too," Shibata, who had been silent, touched his head and analyzed, "If this guy called Ryuen really knew the in-depth rules of the school, he would definitely use his own violent means to threaten those ordinary students into working as slaves for him."

　　 "Isn't this just bullying? How bad!"

　　 The girls immediately joined in, but after a moment's thought, they turned their gazes towards Hashima, who was still deep in thought.

　　 "Hashima-san, what should we do? Should we continue with the plan of selling the rules?"

　　 When he saw everyone looking at him, Hashima Hikaru touched his chin and then used a pen to draw a square pattern on the word "violence" he had just written.

　　 "This is…"

　　As a classmate, Ichinose could see Hashima's handwriting and walked over to ask, "Hashima-san, do you have any ideas?"

　　 "A little, but some information needs to be confirmed."

　　 Hashima Hikaru raised his head and called out, "Beppu-san, come here for a moment."

　　 In fact, when the students of Class B saw Hashima calling out to Shibata and the others, they all knew that the boy must be plotting a new plan. They all seemed to be doing their own things, but in reality their attention was always focused on this.

　　 "It's okay, Hashima-san."

　　 When Beppu Ryota heard the sound, he immediately ran over, and then Shibata gave him the chair he had dragged over.

　　 "Beppu-san, you just said that Ryuen hasn't completely dominated Class C yet, right?"

　　 "Yes, Oda-san said that although Ryuen was violent in class, he wasn't invincible and there were people he couldn't beat."

"Wow?"

　　 When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, and even the girls who hated violence had their eyes lit up.

　　 "Tell me more about it."
