The Casino School

Episode 6

Day after day, Yuuji still continued to gather information about Fort I. But it seems that Fortress I realized that if many were watching him, he eventually stopped playing and never appeared in the gambling arena again.

That made it difficult for Hiro the informant to get materials for discussion. Yuuji tried several times to talk to Fortress I, but the girl refused his invitation and chose silence.

"Difficult banglettt! She was covered up, "said Yuuji as they were in the garden of Class Spade.

Hiro nodded in agreement, while Kenji was snacking.

Ever since Fortress I stopped gambling, the three of them could not dig up any more information. Yuuji tries to compete with the people who Fort I defeated. Betting information about Fort I was no progress as the information provided was more or less the same as what Yuuji knew.

Even the game of Fortress I in the cards is not so prominent. Like the players in general and rely on luck. It seems that Fort I is not the typical person who is so enthusiastic about gambling.

"But why would he want to be Fort I? Why bother looking for 100 dollars a month if he's not an enthusiastic person?" yuuji asked suddenly.

Both friends agreed with him.

Fortress I is not as often as it looks at gambling. But once he gets off the field, he can make a lot of chips and disappear again. Frequently visited places are only the throne room and library. He just ate together and slept at the reading table.

In the end they were blunt and almost stepped on the surrender button. The option of passing Fort I will be immediately chosen if there is no development.

"Oh. There's still Fuji, right?" chirping Yuuji. Hiro and Kenji turned their heads towards her, giving a look as if Fuji was not the right choice.

Yuuji smiled. "Rather than nothing."

Yuuji quickly stood up from his chair, then stepped into his class. Where is Fuji.

Both of his best friends refused to come and chose to wait in Spade Park. "Be careful, Yuuji!"

...* * *...

Yuuji was personally confused as to what made him have to be careful. Threats about bullying have not been felt since assuming the throne. The children who used to bully him did not even dare to look him in the eye.

He walked up the stairs to the top floor. Where the classes are. Classes in schools generally, ranging from grade 1A to 1H.

His steps again count the stairs, down to each class on the top floor. Class 2, where Fuji is.

Many pairs of eyes met him, looking at him with astonished eyes at Yuuji as if looking for someone. Because, it is not uncommon for 1st grade students to enter the 2nd grade floor unless they want to challenge someone. But they knew Yuuji was already part of the throne. Does Yuuji want to challenge people again to get a higher throne title? But who?

"Who's looking?"

A familiar voice Yuuji brushed aside his focus. Yuuji turned to the source of the voice.

Fuji stood behind him.

"Oh. I'm looking for you," Yuuji replied casually. The two face each other.

The young man standing in front of him smiled, knowing what Yuuji meant to meet him. "About Wu Xia Zhu?"

"Who?"

"The original name of Fort I, Wu Xia Zhu. You want the information, right?"

Yuuji nodded. "OKAY. I give Wu Xia Zhu information after we fight," Fuji explained.

Yuuji's eyes were wide open. "meaning?"

Fuji chuckles. He patted Yuuji on the shoulder, giving a small look at him.

"This is how you find information about Fort I, right? Use information of Fort I as a bet. Because I'm a pawn, why don't you use that too, Kuga Yuuji?"

It may not be the bullying that his two best friends worry about, but many try to make Yuuji slip.

...* * *...

"Don't ask. I got nothing."

Yuuji's words silenced Kenji and Hiro's mouth after Yuuji's return from the Diamond Class. The two of them did not react any more and just remained silent, looking at each other.

Their prediction was correct, Yuuji would not get that information easily. Seeing the 2nd grade youth who had suddenly come to offer information was already very suspicious.

After rejecting Fuji's offer, Yuuji immediately went to see his two friends. Despite receiving a second repulsion, Fuji is still waiting for Yuuji to return later.

For some reason this made Yuuji suspicious. Moreover, he did not know who Fuji was. It was true that he dug up information in that way. But his premonition wasn't good when Fuji offered it.

After that incident, the trio were still trying to find information about Xia Zhu and still there were no satisfactory results. Yuuji could have asked other throne members about Fort I, but that could have made Yuuji look like he wanted to abduct them one by one and be branded a threat. Instead they tolerate Yuuji's efforts by seeking information here and there.

Hiro finally sought out other information that had something to do with Fortress I. Where someone once defeated Fort I.

It was impossible if Xia Zhu had ever lost a match while being Fortress I. Where if that were true, Xia Zhu should have abdicated to pawn. But this time it was true, a figure who had challenged Xia Zhu but was unwilling to take the throne in the chess ranks.

"Name Rosalina. He's 3rd grade Heart" Hiro explained after the umpteenth meeting.

"Many of the officials he defeated. Those who roll the throne are never seen again at gambling, chances are they are out of school out of shame. And only Xia Zhu still survived the throne of Fort I despite having been defeated by Rosalina."

"Why still survive? Can't Rosalina be Fort I?"

"Rosalina was a pawn from grade 1 to grade 3. He beat the officials without a position bet, but money a sum of their position prices."

Yuuji said, as if knowing what Rosalina meant. "He's just looking for a geek?" Kenji asked, making sure. And answered a steady nod from Kenji.

Hiro let out a heavy sigh upon hearing the question. It was as if the answer he gave was very difficult to say. "Unfortunately I don't know because he always plays in private rooms. No one should know and spread the course of the match."

Hiro's reply surprised his two friends. "I asked other people and their answers were more or less the same. Rosalina's match and other officials' privacy. The rest of Xia Zhu, we should ask him if we want to know how Rosalina plays."

"Yuuji, you should ask Xia Zhu directly."

...* * *...

This time Yuuji's lunch was spent in the throne room. There's a lot of people there. Surely there's Jaken too and his queen. Their pleasantries accompany the clockwork. There is no important language other than talk about drama and lessons.

Looks like a student in High School.

Since entering this school, Yuuji felt that he was not a high school boy anymore. His mind drifted considering he longed for a normal High School life and had a lover, perhaps a brawl could too. But this time it was more than a brawl and worst of all.

Yuuji's food is up, carrot scraps and long bean pieces. The menu he ordered sirloin steak, quite suitable and delicious for his village tongue.

"Your food is good, Kuga Yuuji?" ask the figure of the woman who occupied the queen's throne. Grade 3 Diamond student, Suzuki.

Paras ayu and his adult daughter sedate Yuuji for a few seconds until Yuuji himself regains consciousness. "Oh, yes," replied Yuuji accordingly.

Suzuki smiled, then his gaze moved to the girl sitting next to Yuuji. "Xia Zhu, you look like you're so cute to Yuuji. Both are fortresses. Why, Xia Zhu?"

Xia Zhu raised his gaze which was originally still cool with his order fried rice. Highlight his eyes were flat as if not interested in Suzuki's question. Even so Xia Zhu still responded to it.

"Do I have to be familiar?"

Xia Zhu's question quite surprised Yuuji. Xia Zhu looked brave. Suzuki smiled.

"It's still not clear if Aoyama loses, huh? Do you feel threatened because Yuuji is targeting your position?"

Makdeg!

Dog, it's Yuuji's mind at the moment.

The originally flat Xia Zhu immediately smiled widely. He laughed crisply. A moment later the look in his eyes turned sharp with a cunning engraving on his lips.

"Well, why?"

Yuuji's heart grew more and more as Suzuki and Xia Zhu clashed in front of him. It felt like Yuuji wanted to get out of there immediately. Intentions of the heart wanted to approach Xia Zhu to dig up the information directly undone.

They're. spooky.

Soon Yuuji got up from the chair and said goodbye, then left the terrifying throne room.

Yuuji's departure silenced the throne room for a moment. But before long, all the officials including Xia Zhu laughed. Laughing at the frightened Yuuji.

They seem to be brighter than before. Enjoying their chatter that slowly lapses into the important language in the organization. Unmasked the entire mask they showed in front of Yuuji.

Is correct.

Be ordinary when Yuuji is around to trick her into knowing about Yuuji's plan to take them down. He knew Yuuji had come in here to dig up more information. Therefore every meeting, they never discussed important things and made Yuuji not feel at home with them.

Jaken, The King. Jaken has chosen his men to occupy every position, including Aoyama. This method has been done for a long time. Jaken did not want any outsiders sitting in his chair. It was true that there were many people not the choice who managed to defeat his men, but Jaken could get rid of them the easy way.

With Rosalina.

After their defeat, Jaken will fire them on the grounds that they are no longer welcome. But this was the exception for Xia Zhu. Jaken released fake news about Xia Zhu's defeat to be the explanatory if Rosalina was indeed looking for money from the officials. With this, the disciples would not put any suspicion towards the disappearance of the former officials and consider Xia Zhu mentally strong.

...* * *...

Yuuji, Hiro, and Kenji have all gone to Heart Class. Where is Rosalina.

The woman sat casually on the classroom table while staring at the three young men in front of her. The look on his dislike face was very clear in the eyes. Rosalina did not like the presence of the three of them.

"I told you, I don't need a job. After all, you're weird even coming to me. I'm obviously the 'Killer of Officials', how come I still come? Want me to finish your career?"

"Let's fight!" challenge Yuuji who immediately responded to Rosalina with a cry.

"That's very nice, anyway! How much do you want to give her?" asked Rosalina underestimating.

Yuuji directly issued 2 black chips. "200 dollars."

"Yes, ah. You came to me but that's all?" rosalina, still rejecting Yuuji's invitation.

"God! Whose fortress is it, what is it?!" Kenji was instantly emotional, but Hiro held him back to stay patient and pulled him back to get further away from Yuuji.

Now in front of Rosalina there was only Yuuji who suddenly took out 1 more black chip. This made Kenji, Hiro, and Rosalina surprised.

"Yuuji! Not much!" persemat Hiro's.

But late. Rosalina had already picked up all three black chips and smiled widely.

"300 bucks I got and we can play now."
