You want to gamble right away?
Although she was a little surprised by his words, Ayanokouji reacted quickly because she had prepared herself mentally.
"I don't mind gambling." Ayanokouji Kiyohira frowned, "But I'm a freshman, so we're not that familiar with each other yet."
"It's because we're not familiar with each other that we're going to have a go." The other person grinned. "In this school, not knowing how to gamble is a must. You'll be isolated."
This guy is really good at talking. How could he be isolated just because he can't gamble? This guy must be a gambler...
Ayanokouji Kiyohei rolled his eyes in his heart, but thinking that playing cards could indeed increase intimacy, he didn't refuse him.
In his previous life, when he was admitted to university, he got to know the strangers in the dormitory by playing cards. Using card games to break the ice was indeed a good way.
"Okay, I promise you, but you still have to wait until after class."
Ayanokouji Kiyohei reminded him, then looked up at the teacher who was giving a lecture on the stage.
The movement here was obvious, but the teacher had no intention of stopping it. He continued to read the lesson plan verbatim.
"Okay..." Although the man was eager to try, he managed to turn his head away. He looked at the teacher, but his mind was actually on Ayanokouji Kiyohira, and he kept turning his head to look at him.
Ayanokouji looked around and noticed that several other freshmen were also being approached. He wondered if it was also an invitation to gamble.
He noticed that many people around him were listening to their conversation with their ears perked up, secretly watching him, and then whispering to the people around them.
New transfer students are always the subject of gossip, but Ayanokouji Kiyohira was prepared for this, keeping a calm mind and ignoring the noise around him.
When the bell rang, a group of people rushed to Ayanokouji Kiyohei and squeezed him so tightly that there was no room for movement.
Not only the boys, but the girls also stared at him with passionate eyes. He was a little uncomfortable with being stared at by the whole class.
Is this how you welcome new classmates?
In addition to him, several new students were also surrounded, with seven or eight people surrounding each person.
The people around him also looked at Ayanokouji Kiyohira with fanatical eyes, as if he was a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Where are we going to gamble?" asked Ayanokouji.
"You haven't been to a chess and card room yet? Let me take you there."
He got up, walked to the front door of the classroom and closed it. Only then did Ayanokouji realize that there was another door at the classroom door, leading to another room.
When he first entered the teaching building, Ayanokouji was actually a little curious. Although each classroom looked large from the outside, the interior of the classroom was actually not that big.
It turns out there is another world here.
Ayanokouji was surrounded by people and entered the room. He was stunned by the furnishings inside.
The classroom is covered with soft soundproof carpet and has more than a dozen small gambling tables with playing cards, dice, steel balls and chips neatly placed on them.
In the corners of the room, there are slot machines, pachinko machines and other machines.
This room has no clock and no windows. A dim floor lamp illuminates the room from above. Once you enter this room, you will lose your concept of time and have no idea whether it is day or night outside.
This is not the "chess and card room" that men talk about, it is a small casino!
Ayanokouji wasn't surprised when the man suggested gambling, but he was really surprised when he saw this complete gambling facility.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira realized that the "gambling" this person was talking about was definitely not a casual game.
Just as Ayanokouji turned around, he was stopped by the man with a smile.
"Ayanokouji-kun, where are you going? Didn't you say you wanted to gamble with me?"
Ayanokouji Kiyohira frowned. "It's fine for me to play with you, but this is completely the setup of a regular casino, right? Don't you know that gambling is illegal in Japan?"
"Is it illegal?" Ayanokouji's words seemed to have hit the man's funny spot. He couldn't stop laughing. He held Ayanokouji's shoulders for a long time before he stopped laughing.
"Yes, gambling is illegal. But if no one tells anyone, who will know?" He looked at Ayanokouji and smiled even more. "Ayanokouji-san, have you forgotten the school rules?"
School rules?
Ayanokouji Kiyohei also thought of the school rules.
[School Rule 1: The school's specific rules and regulations cannot be disclosed to outsiders.]
Violators...will be fined 10 million yen.
I see... Ayanokouji let out a slow breath.
No wonder they weren't worried about anyone leaking the information. This was written in black and white, and anyone who leaked it would face a hefty fine.
Even if someone secretly spread the news online, this school is full of children of aristocrats from all walks of life, so it would be easy to suppress all the news. Maybe, no, it must have connections with the police.
Anyone who wants to call the police is just wishful thinking.
The school's second rule is: [You cannot choose to drop out of school. Once you enroll, you must complete your studies.]
Even if he wanted to turn around and leave, he couldn't.
Only then did Ayanokouji realize that he had indeed been cheated by his cheap father.
In a school like this where gambling is rampant, the two million yen he gave me is probably just a drop in the bucket.
No wonder when he was given the admission letter, the senior student seemed hesitant to speak, as if he didn't want me to come to this school. So that's what happened...
Fortunately, I had some hidden backup funds, otherwise I would have been badly cheated.
After Ayanokouji Kiyohira figured it out, he no longer rejected it and leisurely found an empty card table and sat down.
"I understand. Let's start gambling." As he said this, he gestured for the man to follow him.
The man was quite surprised by Ayanokouji's sudden change of mood, which made him quite disappointed as he wanted to watch the show. However, he still sat opposite Ayanokouji.
"Poker, dice, mahjong...what do you want to play!?" The man cheered up and asked impatiently.
"Poker." Speaking of gambling, Ayanokouji Kiyohira, who has watched many Hong Kong works, naturally thinks of poker when he thinks of gambling.
"There are many ways to play poker. What do you want to play?"
"Is there a game of Landlord?" Ayanokouji Kiyohira blurted out.
"What is that?" The man tilted his head, looking like he had never heard of it.
"It's a poker game that's popular in China. The method is..." Ayanokouji Kiyohira wanted to introduce it, but when he saw that everyone around him looked impatient, he stopped.
Ayanokouji Kiyohira knew he had arrived in a parallel world that was very similar, but not exactly the same. He had never known this before, and perhaps the game of Landlord had never been invented.
He coughed lightly and said, "Let's play Blackjack."
Blackjack is the very familiar twenty-one.
Originated in France, it has spread all over the world and has a long history.
Blackjack can now be seen in casinos around the world. The game is played by 2 to 6 people using 52 cards except the jokers. The player's goal is to make the sum of the points of the cards in his hand not exceed 21 and as large as possible.
This rule is very simple and is widely used all over the world. The man who looks like an old gambler sitting opposite Ayanokouji Kiyohira naturally knows it.
"Hey, you beast over there, get me a deck of cards!" He shouted to a male student who was sorting props in the corner.
"..." The man put down the chips he was sorting with trembling hands, stood up and walked to the cabinet where the props were placed, took out a brand new deck of cards and walked over.
Ayanokouji saw that around his neck was the same name tag as the man he had met before - [Stupid Dog].
Ayanokouji Kiyohira frowned slightly. Is this the right way to treat a classmate? Even if they were friends, calling them "animals" was a bit too much.
Could it be that...
Is this brand name actually a symbol of identity?
