COTE: Bag And Love System

In other words, even in the worst year, Class D has a chance to advance to Class A, and it all depends on everyone's performance.

　After classes begin, each class will be assigned 1,000 class evaluation points, so the first month is 100,000 private points.

　However, while there are opportunities to improve test scores, there are naturally also places where points can be lost.

　For example, at school, students who do not comply with school rules will have points deducted according to the severity of the behavior, and the penalty will be determined by the class evaluation score.

　Finally, Hoshinomiya Chie also revealed a rule about points, that is, the school encourages everyone to accumulate points. After all, points can buy everything in this school.

　As long as you have enough points, you can change classes or be exempted from expulsion, but the points you must pay are a whopping 20 million private points.

　After the rules were explained, the classroom in Class 1-B went silent again. Everyone was so shocked by these rules that they were speechless.

　The good news is that they are not the worst.

　The bad news is that they will face more brutal all-around competition than regular high schools, and may even risk expulsion.

　Just when everyone was silent, Hashima Hikaru suddenly stood up from his chair and asked the question again.

　"Professor, will there be contents related to physical competition in the future special exams?"

　"Of course, the purpose of the school is to cultivate students with all-round development, and sports are also very important."

　-All right, thank you teacher.

　After sitting down in his seat, the boy's face suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect the depth rules of this school to be so outrageous.

　 Hashima Hikaru looked at his system panel; the 3-point stamina value seemed unusually obvious at the moment.

　With such a physical level, it would be a waste of time to participate in the physical fitness test. Not only would it delay the class, but if he competed individually, his situation would be even more dangerous.

　"You should restore your physical strength to normal levels as soon as possible."

　He opened the system's [Trade Shop], where the price of [Sports Enhancement (30 Days)] was 100,000. It could increase current physical strength, but it would take 30 days of continuous exercise for it to take effect.

　Hashima Hikaru couldn't help but glance at Ichinose Honami, who was in the next room. She still remembered the scene that had just happened very clearly.

　This pink-haired beauty has a strong sense of collectivism and is quite responsible. He is confident that he can improve her preference for him.

　　Well, let's start with her.

　　I'm all in! ! !

　　Should I buy shares of Ichinose Honami? ]

　　[Ichinose Honami's stock portfolio is fully invested] ]

　[Currently own shares of Ichinose Honami stock: 5000]

　After the purchase, there were still 50,000 funds left, but at that time, Hikaru Hashima saw two new messages appear in the system bar again.

　[You revealed the hidden rules of the school. Ichinose Honamii's confidence in you has increased. Ichinose Honamii's stock price has increased by 30 points. The current stock price is 40]

　[Ichinose Honamii is pleased with your solidarity with the class. Ichinose Honami's share price has increased by 10 points. The current stock price is 50.]

　　whistled!

　Hashima Hikaru looked at the shares he had just purchased. The share price had reached 50. If he sold them all, he could immediately convert them into 250,000 system funds.

　How to say it, the way he looked at Ichinose Honami had completely changed.

　　Is that a beautiful girl?

　　No, she's a gold mine!

　When the profound rules were revealed, everyone in Class 1-B fell silent. The school's "adult education" education was so shocking that everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.

　According to Mr. Hoshinomiya, only Class A of each class can successfully graduate from the school, while students in other classes have no guarantee.

　　Everyone can safely foresee how fierce the competition will be in the upcoming classes. This is no joke.

Logically speaking, Class B is at the top of the class rankings and can reap the fruits of victory as long as it defeats Class A, which is at the top. However, judging from the class division rules, Class A students have the highest comprehensive qualities this year, and it will definitely not be easy to overcome the difficulties.

　　In addition, the two classes that lag behind will not sit idly by. If they want to move up, Class B is the hurdle they must overcome.

　　Thus, if Class B wants to move up, it should not only keep an eye on Class A ahead of it, but also not take the two classes behind it lightly. I think this is the purpose of the school, so that everyone can compete with all their strengths.

　Ichinose Honami, who was sitting in her seat, clearly felt that the atmosphere in the class was not right. Seeing that everyone was a bit uncomfortable, the girl's sense of responsibility was immediately awakened and she wanted to stand up and lead the class forward.

　However, just as Ichinose was about to act, she saw that Hashima-san, who had just revealed the rules, had already stood up from his seat in front of her.

　"Master Hoshinomiya, there shouldn't be any class this morning, right?"

　"Yes, after the class meeting, everyone can return to the dormitory to rest. Formal classes will begin tomorrow according to the schedule."

　"Can you wait a moment? I want to take a little time with you. I have something to tell you."

　After hearing what Hashima Hikaru said, Hoshinomiya Chie smiled again. She nodded her head in cooperation and said, "Sure, the teacher can wait until you finish."

　"But since you've taken up the teacher's time, you'll have to help him move the teaching materials later."

"..."

　Hashima Hikaru paused for a moment, but ultimately agreed reluctantly.

　Despite his physical weakness, there is one task that requires confirmation with the teacher, necessitating Hoshinomiya Chie's presence.

　"I can assist with moving the teaching materials."

　Ichinose Honami promptly seized this opportunity, having been seeking a chance to have a productive discussion with her deskmate from the beginning, out of both curiosity and a desire to contribute to the future of Class B.

　"Very well, then I'll stay with you two for now."

　Hoshinomiya Chie had already noticed during the personal points collection process that, in addition to Hashima Hikaru, Ichinose is also exceptional in Class B.

　His charisma on the first day of school suggests that he must be an exceptional student.

　"Pardon me, Professor, but I would like to borrow the blackboard.

　Hashima Hikaru rose from his seat and made his way to the blackboard, taking hold of a piece of chalk.

　The students in class B immediately focused their attention on the professor, as if anticipating an upcoming announcement.

　They were all aware that it was this classmate, Hashima, who had just revealed the school's profound rules, and so they had higher expectations of him.

　"What I want to say is actually very simple: it's about competition between classes."

Hashima Hikaru attempted to maintain a serious tone, although he rarely did so. However, given the need to boost Ichinose Honami's stock price, he had no alternative.

　　Following a recent rise in Ichinose Honami's stock price to 50 points, Hashima Hikaru utilized an item from the [Trade Store].

　[Stock Analyze], priced at 1,000 points, is available for purchase up to five times per month.This tool assesses the attributes of publicly traded stocks, offering recommendations to enhance their value and mitigate potential risks.

　After utilizing it on the pink-haired girl adjacent to him, the system provided comprehensive instructions.

　Ichinose Honami

　Stock Info: A girl who is trusted by her classmates, with a kind personality, who will stand up when faced with injustice, dares to speak up for justice, has a heart of gold and can talk to everyone, but few people can really get close to her heart.

　Suggestions for enhancing share value: support the advancement of Class B, foster unity among classmates, and mitigate the risk of attrition.

　Stock prices reduce risk: dishonesty, actions that are detrimental to the class, and betrayal of classmates.

　Hashima Hikaru's initiative and leadership were driven by her understanding of these principles.

　"After listening to Professor Hoshinomiya's explanation of the rules, everyone should be able to understand the two most important things about this school."

"One is the class assessment score," Hashima Hikaru explained, using the board to illustrate his point, "and the other is the students' personal points."

　"Our class recently expended two million private points to acquire the school's depth rules. This significant investment may have ramifications for the class's future proficiency."

　"Yes, the class's private points were cut in half..."

　"I share this concern."

　Another individual chimed in, indicating that many in class B shared these concerns.

　Hashima Hikaru disregarded these concerns and stated firmly, "I propose that we optimize these points and mitigate the class's losses."

　"Hashima-san, have you found a solution yet?"

　A short-haired athletic boy named Shibata Sa raised his hand and inquired about the solution.Hashima Hikaru recalled that he had conversed with Ichinose Honami and appeared to be affiliated with a high school sports club.

Hashima Hikaru then proceeded to outline her strategy on the board, labeling it the Phased Harvest Plan, and explained that the implementation would involve the sale of school rules.

　　"Selling rules?"

Ichinose looked at the boy and inquired, "Is Hashima-san considering selling the rulers we purchased for students in other classes?"

　　"Yes."

"But aren't there competitive dynamics among the different classes? If we sell to other classes, wouldn't that diminish our competitive edge?

　Ichinose replied, "I understand your concerns, but I'm not planning to sell the rulers indiscriminately. That would be aiding our competitors, and I'm not willing to do that."

　Hashima Hikaru proceeded to write the four letters ABCD on the board and elaborated further.

　"If I'm not mistaken, the advantage of purchasing the rules will only last for a month.After the private points are transferred next month, the points of some classes will definitely change.Then, the teachers of each class will come out to explain the rules, and then our advantage will disappear."

"Am I correct in understanding, Mr. Hoshinomiya?"

　　"Yes."

Hoshinomiya Chie was standing by the podium, leaving the entire stage to Hashima Hikaru.

"It is crucial that we leverage the one-month time difference to transform the information gap into a significant advantage."

Hashima Hikaru then pointed to the letter A on the board.

According to Mr. Hoshinomiya, the school's class evaluation system, which includes deductions in points, actually contravenes established school regulations, such as failing to pay attention in class, skipping class, and using cell phones during class.

"According to the school's class division rules, Class A students are the best, and I believe that, even if they are unaware of the hidden school rules, they rarely violate them this month."

Maybe after a month, the class assessment score they will deduct will only be a few dozen points, which will not be enough to widen the gap between us and Class A."

"I see. I understand." A purple-haired boy took over from Hashima Hikaru in the conversation. "So we can tell them the rules. It doesn't matter if they know them. Class B can get some personal points anyway."

"That's all."

A smile of approval appeared on Hashima Hikaru's face. It seemed that there were some sharp-minded students in Class B. Since they were the second rung, they shouldn't be too bad.

"Since the final class evaluation score is still the key to determining the class ranking, what we should do in this month is to make sure that the class evaluation score is not deducted, and try to narrow the gap with Class A, and then get points based on that."

"What if Class A wants to sell the rules after knowing them?"

Ichinose Honami raised her hand to ask a question. Actually, she had always been able to follow Hashima's thinking.

"That's why I want to stay with Mr. Hoshinomiya," Hashima Hikaru turned to look at Hoshinomiya Chie and questioned, "When you were explaining the school rules just now, you mentioned a special method, didn't you?"

"What do you mean?"

　Hoshinomiya Chie already knew what I was going to do and had a deeper understanding of Hashima's sharpness.

"The contract is a support recognized by the school to witness transactions."

Hikaru Hashima smiled and explained to everyone, "When we sell the rules to Class A, we can ask them to sign a contract. After buying the rulers, they are not allowed to sell them a second time. Otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract."

　"In this way, the first step to recover the points has been completed."

"Is it possible to do this?"

"Yes, does that mean we can get back the points we just paid for?"

As the classmates began to get excited, Hashima Hikaru looked at Ichinose Honami and then nervously glanced at the bar on his system.

Sure enough, a new message appeared on the interface.

[Ichinose Honami approves your point return plan. Ichinose Honami's share price has increased by 10 points. The current stock price is 60]

After seeing that his actions had resulted in an increase in Ichinose Honami's share price, Hashima Hikaru was very satisfied and then went on to tell his fellow Class B members about his plan.

"Of course, this is just a preliminary idea. There is no guarantee that Class A will accept our idea to sell the rules. Negotiations still need to be prepared."

　Hashima Hikaru touched his chin. The success of this plan depended entirely on Class A's reaction. It would be embarrassing if the other party did not accept the challenge.

"I have a suggestion on this point."

Ichinose Honami raised her small hand at just the right moment. After what Hashima Hikaru had just said, the girl understood that the future class competition would definitely revolve around class evaluation scores and personal points.

Therefore, if Class B could have more private points, she would have the chips to turn the tables even if the class evaluation score
