As they were talking, a quarrel suddenly broke out from the other side of the room.
"Hey, I asked you to buy oolong tea, but you bought me a bottle of green tea! What were you thinking, you little beast?"
A girl was sitting at a gambling table, her arms crossed over her chest and her legs crossed, sharply scolding a blonde girl.
The noise of this quarrel was even more eye-catching than the gambling game. Basically, the attention of the entire casino was drawn there. Ayanokouji and Kuroki couldn't help but stop their gambling games and look over there.
The person being scolded was a girl with a high ponytail, a jacket tied around her waist, and only a white shirt on her upper body, dressed like a hot girl. She had a tag on her chest that said "Zhao Cat".
The "stray cat" was scolded harshly but did not refute. He just whispered: "But, what you just said to me is green tea..."
"You clearly heard wrong, and you still want to talk back? A mixed-race cat is a mixed-race cat, even its ears are not sensitive."
The girl who had scolded her sighed loudly, stood up, and circled around her a few times. As if she had thought of something, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Since you like this bottle of green tea very much, then I will treat you to this bottle of tea. After all, we are friends." Her voice was very gentle.
When "Za Mao" was surprised at her transformation, at this moment, the girl suddenly unscrewed the cap of the green tea bottle, raised it high and poured the whole bottle of green tea on her head!
"It's okay, this bottle is my treat for you, drink more." The girl said with a smile.
The tea began to flow down from the girl's hair, wetting her close-fitting shirt, the coat tied around her waist, and her black stockings, and finally fell to the ground in drops.
She clenched her fists, her body trembling, and was about to explode, but in the end she held it back and loosened her fists in vain.
She took off the clothes tied around her body and held them in front of her to hide her flesh-colored skin. She raised her head, and there was no anger in her eyes. She only looked at the girl in front of her with a complicated look.
"What are you looking at!?"
It was clearly she who was committing school violence, but when she was stared at by the "stray cat", she couldn't help but take a step back in fear.
But when she thought about being watched by so many people in the casino, she suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.
The girl shook her wrist and poured the last bit of tea in the bottle onto the ground. The smile on her face instantly faded, and she shouted sternly, "Go clean up the classroom quickly! Look at what a mess you've made here!"
She was very sure that even if this "stray cat" was angry, she would not dare to attack her.
The girl did not refute, walked to the corner, picked up the cleaning tools, squatted down and silently cleaned up the mess.
The whole class watched, but no one spoke up to stop it.
"..." Seeing this scene, Ayanokouji Kiyohira didn't know what to say.
If this scene happened in other schools, it would be clear-cut school bullying, and Ayanokouji would have stepped forward to stop it long ago.
But in this school, bullying of "domestic animals" seemed to be commonplace and a matter of course, and he was in no position to stop it.
Moreover...before understanding what happened, hastily judging the good or evil relationship between the two parties is likely to cause misunderstanding.
What if the girl being bullied had bullied her before and she was just taking revenge now?
Ayanokouji looked at Kuroki, who also looked at him with a look of emotion and just turned his gaze away.
"Okay, I know what you want to ask." Kuroki shrugged and started talking without Ayanokouji saying anything.
"You have to know that girls are not easy to get along with. The relationships between them are complicated and they often form small groups in groups.
Originally, some girls would pretend to be pitiful and approach boys after losing their gambling money and becoming strays, just to find a kind-hearted sucker to pay for them.
But after that "scam" incident, there were no more such scapegoats. All the boys looked at the "stray cats" with strange eyes, fearing that they would also be scammed.
Even the way they looked at ordinary women had changed. Unless necessary, they would not have physical contact with girls. This made many ordinary girls who thought they would be able to marry rich men by attending this aristocratic school resent the ordinary girls even more.
So they projected their resentment and dissatisfaction onto the stray cats, bullying them even more. The boys also encountered several more incidents of fraud, and those who wanted to plead for mercy chose to keep their mouths shut.
After listening to Kuroki's story, Ayanokouji didn't know whether he should sympathize with these girls or sympathize with these boys who felt like they were seeing a flood or a beast when they saw girls.
Because the crazy behavior of a few girls implicated other people...Ayanokouji couldn't say who did the wrong thing. This was a problem of the overall environment. It was indeed not possible to blame anyone individually. It was the collective subconscious that manipulated everyone present.
"Actually, they deserve it. When that boy was wrongly accused, they all stood by the girl who scammed him and demanded he pay the price. Now they're blaming their own people."
Kuroki smiled as if he had just witnessed a good show and said, "Don't think that we boys also order the 'stupid dogs' around, but we only ask them to run errands and do odd jobs. It's just voluntary labor. Compared to the girls, we boys do a much better job."
When Kuroki said these words, he did not avoid Kumagai and even raised his eyebrows at him deliberately: "Don't you think so?"
Kumagai didn't say anything, just dealt the cards silently.
"Tsk, that's meaningless." Kuroki clicked his tongue. "Don't worry about them, let's just compete."
"Um."
Ayanokouji rubbed his temples, stopped paying attention to the girls' affairs, put away his playful thoughts, and started playing cards seriously.
Blackjack, more than any other poker game, involves a greater element of luck.
However, his luck doesn't seem to be very good, he loses more than he wins.
Another round started.
This time, Ayanokouji's hidden card is 9 and his visible card is K. The total of 19 is already a very big card.
The only hands that can beat him are 20 points and blackjack.
This time he was sure to win and did not choose to ask for the cards.
The card in Kuroki's hand was 5. After looking at the bottom card, he rubbed his hands and asked Kumagai for another card.
It's a 6.
The moment he saw this card, he smiled and said, "Ayanokouji-san, I'm raising 30,000. Do you want to call?"
He's so confident? Could it be Black Jack?
Ayanokouji was a little surprised, but he wasn't about to give up just because of his appearance.
Gambling is not only about luck, it is also a psychological warfare.
Sometimes, your opponent clearly has a bad hand, but he always looks confident, deliberately raising the bet and using his momentum to force you to fold.
"I'll follow."
Ayanokouji Kiyohira's expression remained unchanged, and he was not easily shaken.
Hearing this, the smile on Kuroki's face became even brighter. He smiled and revealed his hidden card, which was a J of clubs.
His cards add up to Blackjack, the highest possible card.
Ayanokouji helplessly dropped the cards in his hand.
"Hehe... this way, I win against you again."
Kuroki stretched lazily and looked at the 170,000 yen in front of him, feeling satisfied.
"I lost again." Ayanokouji Kiyohira shook his head helplessly.
It seems that my luck is really not good.
I played ten games and only won three. These three games only earned me the basic 10,000 yuan, and the other party did not follow up.
However, he didn't care about winning or losing. The information he got from Kuroki today was enough for him to pay for the intelligence fees.
Just when he was about to say "That's it", suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind.
"Achievement completed - [Newcomer's Gamble] (complete ten gambles), the card pool system is being activated..."
Is this... a system?
