The Casino School

Episode 8

Matches aired throughout school—including teacher room—caused riots. Even if you know, the teachers don't care. Just like school rules, any game that even risked lives was legalized. It was as if they were blind and deaf, then indifferent to this commotion.

"Please start Rosalina," Ichiro said from behind the table.

Without hesitation or fear, Rosalina grabbed the revolver and aimed at the right forehead. His smile widened as the three young men in front of him fretted.

He seemed content to see his opponent frightened. Unwilling to stall for a long time, his finger pulled the trigger.

CTAK!

Blank.

The occupants of the room breathed a sigh of relief. The girl placed the gun on the table. It's Kenji's turn.

Although not directed to the head, Kenji's hand trembled. Afraid the trigger's spouting bullets. The revolver tip is directed to the floor. A moment later he pressed the trigger.

CTAK!

DOR'S!

The revolver was thrown by Kenji in all directions, in tune with the cries of the participants.

His heart is racing. Kenji collapsed on the floor. It was the first time he had ever held and used a firearm. Severe shock of course.

The four participants did not care when Ichiro came to take the weapon. Ichiro returns to his desk to fill in with caliber, then puts the dangerous object back on the participant's table.

"Points 1 to Kenji. Round 2 please start from Yuuji."

The young man surnamed Kuga was silent for a moment. He looked at the revolver. Highlight his eyes as if shouting and roaring backwards. Can't lie if his hands are shaking.

The palm of his hand touched the surface of the revolver, Yuuji broke out in cold sweat after feeling the curve of the shape of the weapon. He swallowed. Shudder at the thought of a game like this risking lives.

Isn't it funny that the news of his death is just a matter of gambling?

"Ga, you can't" Yuuji refused to move his hand away.

"Did? Scared, huh?" ledek Rosalina's. Yuuji did not answer.

Rosalina's laughter filled the room. He turned to the moderator back there who was then responded by Ichiro. "If you can't, then Yuuji is instantly considered dead."

Kenji who understood that feeling instantly kicked down the square table in front of him. "Can't the rules be replaced? Isn't this fair?" exclaimed Kenji who only answered loud laughter from Rosalina.

Ichiro then walked over and picked up the revolver. "Rules can only be changed if all participants agree, but all points earned will be reset to 0."

"I agree."

"I am too."

Yuuji's two friends advance first, then Yuuji makes a sound. Because more than half of the participants agreed, Rosalina could not refuse. Ultimately, the rules were changed.

Where Yuuji and Rosalina did not need to direct the revolver to the head.

The moderator puts the revolver back in and starts the game Yuuji starts again.

"Ronde 1 starts with Yuuji."

This time Yuuji dared to pull the trigger. And as expected, a bullet shot out from the end of the revolver. The three friends called out and Yuuji put them on the table.

The spectators outside the room also exclaimed. You could say if the three did not ask for a change of rules, Yuuji's life had already drifted.

Yuuji's gaze turned sharp. He looked towards Rosalina who was smiling widely. Life saved. What happens if he takes the trigger off his head? Just a name after leaving Rosalina's room.

"Poin 1 to Yuuji."

Yuuji's frustration decreased slightly when he realized he was scoring points. Hockey but not totally hockey.

Ichiro again brought the revolver to be filled with bullets and put it in the middle of the table.

"Ronde 2 of Rosalina."

Due to the new rules, Rosalina is getting barbaric. He pointed the gun to the floor and shot it without warning. Without the slightest doubt, he put the revolver to the table because no bullets came out.

It's Hiro's turn. As with Rosalina, no bullets came out. In the third shot, where Rosalina was the shooter, the bullet did not come out again.

Then followed by Kenji who again no bullets came out. In the next part of Rosalina, the girl increasingly fired a revolver towards the standee near the door.

Rosalina's standee had a hole in her chest. The bullet went so fast that it hit the wall behind the standee. The bullet scored a point for him.

"Points 1 to Rosalina."

The series.

Series again. Yuuji looked at Rosalina for a moment. This game does not use tricks or formulas, it is purely brown. Yuuji has been hockey since, he is a little pessimistic if the hockey is drained because of this game.

"Ronde 3 starts with Hiro."

The game went on for quite a while, but Hiro was still nervous when it was his turn. His hands were still trembling a little. He was shocked by the sound of gunfire.

He let go of the trigger and did not score any points. When Rosalina turns, the same thing happens. Yuuji's turn has arrived. The young man shot the revolver in the same direction as before. Only the wind comes out.

Back again in Rosalina's turn. And the 3rd round ends in the next turn, which is Kenji.

"Points 1 to Kenji. Round 4 starts with Rosalina."

The revolver is recharged and placed on the table. Rosalina shot in all directions. No bullets came out. Hiro continued who scored points because the caliber drove hit the floor.

Just 2 turns.

"Poin 1 to Hiro."

All participants have the same points, which is 1 point. They have to add 2 points immediately to win.

Ichiro tirelessly fills the revolver with caliber while continuing to go back and forth to record points on the board near his desk.

"Ronde 5 by Kenji."

One shot. Empty for Kenji. The second shot of the zone received by Rosalina. When it was Yuuji's turn, the bullets didn't come out either.

Raut Yuuji was a little disappointed, he wanted to finish this crazy game immediately. In addition to not wanting to linger in front of Rosalina, he also could not bear to hear the sound of shots that were always heard every time someone scored points.

Rosalina pulled the trigger back, the tip was empty. Hiro is ready. When aiming at the floor and shooting at it, the bullet did not come out.

DOR'S!

The 6th shot of the bullet, came from the female participants among them.

This made Yuuji shocked. Rosalina is 1 point ahead of him.

"Hehehe, hockey, nih," led by Rosalina. There was no other answer but a confused look. Rosalina was satisfied to see the scene before her.

Yuuji is no longer relaxed. He came back scared. Not afraid of gunshots, but afraid if bullets don't come out of the trigger. Now it's the guards he's looking for right now.

"Points 1 to Rosalina. Rosalina leads 2 points."

Ichiro returns to fill the revolver with the remaining caliber.

"Ronde 6 starts with Rosalina."

Yuuji started to worry. In his mind he thrashed, praying that Rosalina would not score any more points in this shot. Because if you think about it, Rosalina's chance to get more points than her.

There are 7 shots, Rosalina each round can shoot 3x to 4x. While himself 1x to 2x in seronde. The victory for Rosalina is bigger, but it does not rule out the possibility that the two friends can buy time while Yuuji hopes for the luck of Goddess Fortuna.

Rosalina's first shot was empty. Yuuji still did not sigh in relief. He looked at Kenji who was about to shoot. Right after pulling the trigger, a loud gunshot and the bullet hit the floor.

"Points 1 to Kenji. Kenji followed Rosalina with 2 points."

Yuuji let out a long breath. There is a glimmer of hope to regain confidence. On the side of a small shooting opportunity, there are still two friends who also have percentages to get points. He doesn't know where he is, but Yuuji is still trying to be optimistic.

"Ronde 7 of Yuuji."

Yuuji picked up the revolver after Ichiro put it on the table. He watched it for a moment, looking at each curve of the object. His gaze focused on the revolver's tip.

The first shot from him, where this time he had 2x chance to shoot. At the beginning and the end. If he can't score points, there's still another chance for his two friends.

He pulled the trigger and the result was empty. In silence, Yuuji stared at Rosalina's hand holding the revolver. The same result was obtained by Rosalina. Little by little Yuuji returned to hope.

He turned to Kenji who pointed the gun to the floor. But the same situation, the result is zonk.

Yuuji's chest ticked, he came back in misgivings. Rosalina's turn to action. Yuuji endlessly offered hope. Good coincidence, God granted his prayers. Rosalina's blank shot relieved Yuuji.

His view turned to Hiro. Yuuji and Kenji looked at each other, then stared intently at Hiro's index finger.

CTAK!

"Th-"

Rosalina rushed to grab the revolver in Hiro's hand as soon as the bullet didn't come out in the young man's turn.

Slowly smile Rosalina. He looked at Yuuji with a wide engraving on his lips. His gaze began to sharpen, the look of a paltry eye, as well as a small laughter.

He knew very well Yuuji this time was worried and afraid of defeat. The 1:1 comparison it now faces. As Rosalina expected, the young man was wary. His eyes cannot deceive. Although Yuuji was silent and did not say much, but in silence, he looked frustrated and anxious.

"Yuu~ Ji's. It's my turn, is it?"

Yuuji did not respond. He only hoped this time Rosalina zonk shot.

Both of his hands clenched fiercely beside his body. His eyes never took his eyes off the tip of the revolver.

Rosalina started to point him to the floor. He looked at the three young men in front of him who wished that caliber was not in Rosalina's turn position. The woman finally pulled the trigger.

CTAK!

Yuuji's eyes turned wide.

DOR'S!

"Points 1 to Rosalina. Rosalina leads with 3 points. Winner Rosalina!"

Yuuji's gaze slowly faded, blur. He was silent, surprised not playing. Step back slowly. Unable to withstand the weight of the body, then staggered to his arms and collapsed.

Sitting on the floor while looking at the hot lead that had just darted on the floor. The cheers of Rosalina's supporters outside the room were unable to resuscitate Yuuji. It was as if inside his head, completely muted.

His ears continued to catch the final gunshot sound that Rosalina created. Looping, continued to spin incessantly even though his two best friends tried to shake his body to get up.

Can't do.

Yuuji's gaze rose, meeting the figure of Rosalina who was looking down on him with a wide smile.

...* * *...

The great show of the day spread very rapidly. The entire disciples exclaimed, cheered, celebrated Rosalina's victory. Outside the room, Rosalina was still busy with the presence of the disciples congratulating her.

On the other hand, UKS became Yuuji's muse. Kenji and Hiro wait outside the UKS room. This time Yuuji didn't want anyone to be around him.

In his silence Yuuji thought about the defeat and the exhaustion of chips he had accumulated all this time. Recalling the chips, Yuuji immediately remembered his position as Fort II. Actually, he did not pay much attention because Rosalina did not want to take her position and Yuuji could still sit there.

Yuuji was just shocked to lose status and go back to bankruptcy. Jaken can understand this. Although Yuuji was still gray what Jaken could accept or not.

"Ah, gapapa, come. I'll tell you tomorrow too."

But just getting rid of that thought, the door of UKS opened. Yuuji. Instantly Yuuji shuddered. He got up from his bed and sat on the bed.

Jakens.

In front of him was Jaken approaching.

"What's wrong?" Yuuji hoped that Jaken would worry about his situation. Because however Yuuji entered under his power, his men. Jaken must be on her side, right?

Jaken looked at Yuuji, then smiled faintly.

"I dismissed you as Fort II because of this incident."

Map, maktratap.

Yuuji. Speechless.

A dismissal? Is that true? Wasn't Yuuji still able to hold on as long as his opponent didn't accept his position offer?!

"Since this match the public damaged the image of the officials. With this I get you out of the fortress" continued Jaken, then turned around and walked towards the door.

Before Jaken held onto the doorknob, Yuuji yelled at him. "Not that I can still be in the castle as long as Rosalina rejects my position?!"

Not turning or looking. Jaken laughed a little.

"Where was your face after you challenged it, publicly broadcast it, and then lost? Is it worth staying on the throne? Please have a little embarrassment, Kuga Yuuji."

Not wanting to be too long, Jaken went straight out without saying goodbye. Yuuji did not move even a bit with both eyes widened, so shocked by the things that happened in a row.

Yuuji, forcibly removed by Jaken and descends into the pawn. Spending 300 dollars on defeat. Wealth at the moment? 28 dollars.
