The Casino School

Episode 15's

With a new status after days of gossip. Yuuji has returned to the throne room as Fortress I. Defeating the figure of Fuji who should have been more careful.

Yuuji's victory was warmly welcomed by Kuro and Tama. Even though his friend fell, the two remained kind to Yuuji. So did careless Fuji. Several times Tama nagged because of her wrong calculation.

The news of Yuuji's promotion spread to all corners of the class including Kenji and Hiro's classes. The two friends of Yuuji who had not interfered about this match rushed to look for Yuuji.

As in the previous place, Yuuji was with his three seniors. With the label Fort I, of course Yuuji is in the spotlight.

"YUUJI!" yelled Kenji as he walked quickly closer.

Yuuji turned his head, casually he patted the empty spot on the seat next to him. It was as if he knew he would be interviewed and waited since.

"Why?! When did you volunteer Xia—"

Yuuji quickly shut Kenji's mouth.

Fuji who had been cool with crossword puzzles immediately closed the quiz book. "The first fort was me" said Fuji.

Kenji and Hiro themselves did not understand what he was saying. The two then sat down sweetly next to Yuuji and listened.

"In short this. When I saw Yuuji on the first day he came in, I was interested. The three of us liked Yuuji's behavior. The news of Aoyama falling down makes Yuuji in our eyes even more interesting," Fuji explained.

He placed a pen and quiz book and then linked his hands together on the table. His gaze was fixed on Yuuji who had been silently watching him since.

"The three of us have a grudge against Jaken and his herd. I'm starting to find out about Yuuji. Our original plan was to invite Yuuji to cooperate, but since Yuuji was reluctant, we ended up being quiet first."

Fuji sighed for a moment.

"We saw Yuuji and Rosalina's match. From there we have hope to dismantle Rosalina, that is the most basic way to destroy the structure of the Jaken people. We think it's time for Yuuji to be invited. And we started the same approach Yuuji. But as long as Yuuji is together, we can't keep quiet and make Yuuji a doll. Therefore we first go forward to prune some of Jaken's subordinates."

Kenji then raised his hand. Fuji looked at him, giving a sign to let Kenji speak.

"You said dismantling Rosalina was the most basic way. Rosalina has something to do with the office?" The question that made the three diamond seniors startled, but also laughed.

"Yes. Rosalina is Jaken's puppet. The point is he was sent to nurunin anyone who is not Jaken's subordinate. That's why none of the matches are published."

Hearing that, Kenji and Hiro were shocked. They looked at each other, there was no other response. Although in their brains they once thought Rosalina had a special relationship with Jaken, but they still did not suspect if their guess was right.

"We volunteered with officials earlier when Yuuji was busy feeding chips. During that time Jaken has not released the latest position because this is quite embarrassing. There are 3 of his men who immediately fell in a day. What will the other students say?"

Hiro then interrupted, raising his hand quickly. "So now you're officials and Yuuji even defeated Fuji. What is a loss?" ask Hiro.

Chief Fuji, Tama, and Kuro shook their heads leisurely. "In this case I'm just giving way to Yuuji. Because I took revenge on Rosalina myself. This is enough. My goal is to get to Jaken as big as Tama and Kuro" replied Fuji.

"I lost my time at blackjack yesterday. I know Tama is upset because I changed plans all of a sudden, but I myself was lazy to deal with Jaken and his flock. So Yuuji's teller was with them," explained Fuji who was immediately met with a punch from Tama.

Tama grunted, annoyed.

He was very confident that Fuji would win. Fuji estimates in card counting are very rarely missed. Moreover, the details that are easy to remember from the Suzuki gelagat.

In the second round when Suzuki held Yuuji to insert the cards into the dealing shoe. Suzuki didn't put it in the engine. It is true that there are 8 decks of cards, but the previous 4 decks are incomplete because the rest are used and Suzuki hide.

In another sense Suzuki did intend to mess up the card counting the players who did not observe the details of his movements.

After listening to Fuji's explanation, his two juniors simply kept quiet. They do not know what to respond because they feel they have been left behind. Moreover, not knowing about Yuuji who suddenly came to the throne room, doing a crazy match against 7 officials at once.

"So, what's your plan now?" kenji asked, looking at Yuuji.

With a casual look Yuuji pointed at Kuro. "I want to fight him" Yuuji continued.

Kuro who had been silent since then immediately laughed out loud. He was banging on the cafeteria table, his stomach was cramped. Good joke, Yuuji.

"AHAHA! Don't joke, Yuuji! Don't you want to fight Jaken head-on?" kuro asked in between holding back his laughter.

"I'm serious." Both of Yuuji's eyes looked at Kuro sharply, but his lips were stringing up a smile.

Instantly Kuro fell silent. A moment later both his eyes sharpened with a grin. The two looked at each other, looking at each other's opposing eyes.

"Hehe. Your jokes aren't funny, you know," Kuro replies.

"I'm not a comedian, Senior Kuro. Let's go fight."

There's no answer. But Kuro's gaze was confirmed if he agreed.

They mediate between the two when they don't stop staring at each other.

"I'll be the moderator. Because Ichiro himself can't yet," said Tama managed to distract the two young men who are full of fighting spirit.

Hiro interrupts when Yuuji and Kuro protest. "I noticed how many moderators from the Diamond Class are, huh?" ask Hiro.

Tama looked and smiled. "Because the Diamond Class is more elegant and seems trustworthy," he replied casually.

All three of his classmates were silent. True, Diamond Class who dabbled in politics and business, of course looks classy and appropriate. It does seem believable. But when we remember past events, it feels like they are hard to believe because of Ichiro's plummeting reputation.

Tama herself also realized that. But as long as he did not cheat, his name would always be as safe and clean as it is now.

"Then, what do you want to play?" ask Tama while picking up Fuji's quiz book.

"Mmmmmm-mom.. Yuuji, you want to try something new?" Kuro looked at Yuuji.

Yuuji was silent to think. If remembered he always gambled with cards and other casino games. It feels a little bored. As if that was all. Relying on luck and tactics.

"You, anyway. What do you think?" ask Yuuji back.

"Football bet, will you?" bargain Kuro who Yuuji immediately rejected.

Both are turning their brains back. Think about what games can be made into matches. A rare moment, discussing with your own opponent.

Since it had been almost 15 minutes of no results, Tama finally gave up and made her own decision.

"OKAY. Because I'm a moderator and your brains are too free—what's your brain processor, anyway? Okay, I'll decide what you're playing."

Kuro and Yuuji exclaimed, they again refused.

"How much longer do you think?" ask Tama ketus. Both could not answer.

Tama took a deep breath, then exhaled it. The quiz book in his hand he put on the table. He pointed to the book.

"You don't like football betting, you're already the same casino, and lazy to ngandelin kehokian. Then a crossword puzzle is the solution!" tama is confident.

"No way," Kuro and Yuuji replied simultaneously.

"HUH?! What do you want?! This slow brain of yours can be a test of patience for smart people like me!" Tama banged Fuji's quiz book out of annoyance with the rejection.

Fuji immediately pulled his favorite book which later became a struggle with Tama. While Yuuji and Kuro are again struggling with the discussion of the game for the match.

Kenji and Hiro are still sane. Hiro observes Fuji's book, then turns to the two prospective useless participants. His brain started working.

"ah! Play some sudoku!"

Hiro's cry managed to stop the four ribbon youths. They stared at Hiro flatly, as if in disbelief at Hiro's idea just now. But Hiro finds out if there must be a rejection, he quickly seizes Fuji's book and points to one of the pages containing the crossword puzzle.

"Look, if the crossword puzzle has a clue at the bottom of the column. It may not be suitable for gamblers who like to use tactics and luck. If it's my own sudoku, the game can use the calculation strategy and kehokian."

"I've read, in all the sudoku columns there is a count and a strategy. I think it's more challenging than a crossword puzzle that already has its clue, right?"

The four of them were silent for a moment. Yuuji and Kuro looked at each other and nodded lightly, as if agreeing. Then they stood up and looked at Tama.

"Come, let's play sudoku!"

Tama was surprised, but again put on a flat expression. "Oh, sure, right?"

"BE SURE! Although our brains are not as thin as our love for beautiful girls, but as long as there are tactics and hockey, surely we can!" kuro replied loudly.

"I'm not that hot, so don't call me 'we'." Yuuji's correction was not touched by Kuro and immediately clasped his hand.

"Come, Yuuji! We fight!"

Tama immediately held the two. "Hey, hey. You're not pawns anymore. Yuuji if you want to volunteer must have a chip first. Are you sure there is?"

Kuro turned to Yuuji. "There, right? Adena, dong. There's no time, anyway. Yeah, right? Gas straight away, si?" ask Kuro lightly.

"YES, THERE IS, IS IT! Chipku's gonna fight Fuji!"
