The Casino School

Episode 37 [[SEASON 1, END ]]

Fourteen participants were present in the meeting room. Sit in each chair with a VVIP card on the table. Jaken sits alone in the front seat and her lover hands out a piece of paper containing a list of Jaken's invitation card owners. The total of them were not all Casino School officials and students. I don't know what Jaken's gonna do, they're still glaring.

"Look off."

Suzuki turned on the projector. On Jaken's back screen were the names of the participants.

"Welcome. Thank you for fulfilling the invitation we gave. No need for a lot of explanation, you must already know what the goal of the end of the year game is like."

Suzuki looked at the participants, no one responded more.

"In essence, you will compete in this casino. But there are different systems for VVIP participants."

The screen shows empty throne seats.

"VVIP participants this time must compete and collect as many points as possible. But the opponents are not only VVIP participants, but gamblers who are in the casino. You can challenge them or vice versa for points."

"Regardless of chips, the casino will provide borrowed chips for play. Just show me the VVIP card and you can get the chip."

Hearing that explanation, the participants were a little worried. So is Yuuji who is not comfortable with this system.

"The final result will be announced on December 30. Do you guys know what the prize is for a participant with high points?" Suzuki pointed at Emma, asking her to answer.

"Eum, sightseeing?" Emma's reply was to Suzuki's head.

Suzuki's finger points back to Aoyama's arab. "Money?" aoyama's correction is wrong. Suzuki moved to Hiro. Hiro just shook his head not knowing in response.

"We will only select the seven participants with the highest points. Where the prize is a position" explained Suzuki who increasingly make others confused.

"What does that mean?" ask Paulo.

"Rankings 2 to 7 will automatically be appointed as an official here. From the fort to the minister. And the first place will go to the final on December 31. If the first rank is female, then she will fight the queen, which is me."

"And if it were a man, he would fight the king, which is Jaken."

Paulo immediately stood up and kicked down the table. His eyes glare.

"What do you mean?! Then what about those of us who have served?!" shout Paulo. Emma immediately stood up and pulled Paulo back to sit down, but the young man reluctantly obeyed his girlfriend and still stood up while throwing a sharp glare.

Suzuki smiled, then walked up to Jaken and stroked his male shoulder.

"Those not in the top seven will be removed from their posts and expelled from school."

The meeting made the participants mentally shaken. Feeling insecure and played with, especially they have to deal with people from outside the school. Maybe for some students who often gamble quite memorized anyone who is good at playing gambling and can avoid it.

But in a casino? In a super magnificent casino and famous among the top. A class of Tama who play gambling here and there is not much to know the visitors.

People with a variety of personalities and skills, they have never met at the gambling table. Even if ever, as we know before, the majority of gamblers in these casinos are just looking for fun and not serious about playing. They haven't shown their fangs.

"Where do we start?" yuuji asked Kyousuke. Kyousuke has been following Yuuji since then, behind him are Yuuji's other friends.

Yuuji has little attention with Kyousuke. Seen from the looks of it, Kyousuke is like a snot boy who does not know gambling. How did he get into this school? Ryuuji also reveals that Kyousuke auditioned and became a trainee at an idol agency.

In addition, his attention switched on Meiko who is known to be very quiet—or almost called cuek. How could this cake girl join this kind of situation and group. What is Meiko's correlation to Casino School? Didn't that girl go to high school?

"Meiko, why would Jaken give you an invitation?" ask Yuuji.

"On a hundred dollars?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"How did you get the invitation?" ask Yuuji again.

"When I was working, a buyer gave me an envelope with an invitation and a VVIP card. He said from Casino School and said it was a chance to be accepted into that school."

Yuuji just nodded in understanding. Actually he wanted to ask Meiko more, but now his condition is not possible because in front of him there is Aoyama who is blocking.

"Congratulations, you are my first opponent" said Aoyama, looking into Yuuji's eyes fixedly.

Although he was not fully prepared, Yuuji had to accept it. He should quickly add points. In addition, he also avoided the VVIP Casino guests who seemed to be looking for prey among the participants of the game. It would be best if Yuuji fought the person he knew first as a stepping stone.

"OKAY. What do you want to play?" ask Yuuji.

Kyousuke, who had been with her since, immediately confronted Aoyama, looking at her sharply. "Don't you see me?"

Aoyama frowned, and so did Yuuji.

"Injection. You should have fought me first, dong!" kyousuke.

"It's important" replied Aoyama.

Kyousuke was aghast, then smiled. "Then I challenge you to play blackjack!"

Aoyama's head shook his head, he refused. His gaze stared at Kyousuke, and vice versa.

"I challenged Yuuji first. Don't waste wak—"

"I've said the challenge before than you. So let's fight, "Kyousuke managed to cut Aoyama's sentence. He immediately left, passed Aoyama and walked leisurely to where blackjack was.

Yuuji was quite astonished by Kyousuke's behavior who knew where the blackjack room was located. Although he could have known because he had previously visited the casino for observation.

The young man of the former fortress finally followed Kyousuke after throwing an annoyed look at Yuuji.

"What the fuck, anyway. Kan who was nantang si Kyou," muttered Yuuji following in annoyance.

Then his gaze turned to Meiko who had been standing behind him ever since. The girl looked confused and anxious. Yuuji seemed to understand, this was a natural feeling for a girl who had never been to a world like this.

"Meiko, want to play?" ask Yuuji.

"Are you challenging me?" Meiko looked at Yuuji confusedly. Yuuji's answer was just a small nod.

Meiko doesn't seem to like it, but in the end she complies. "Yes, okay. Rather than me fighting people I don't know" Meiko muttered softly.

Then Meiko's finger pointed to one of the places, where Uno's desk was located.

"I want to play that," Meiko explained as she lowered her finger. He looked at the smiling Yuuji.

Basic gambling games that are usually played by beginners. Yuuji once again nodded in agreement and walked towards Uno's desk, followed by Meiko from behind.
