When Kamishimo asked Haru for a gamble, everyone said nothing and waited for them to start. They had a good impression of Haru, but in this school, everyone would be determined by their gambling skills. They feel a little sorry for Haru because they know that Kamishimo is a very skilled gambler, but they do nothing because they are afraid that something will happen to them.
If Haru could hear their voices then he would just smile and not say anything. It is better to show something through action than to speak. He looked at Kamishimo and asked, “What kind of gambling are we going to do?” He scanned his surroundings again and saw some people wearing tags around their necks. “What is it?” He pointed at a random student wearing a tag.
Kamishimo turned around and said, “Oh, it's a pet.”
“Paint?” ask Haru. She actually knew about it, but she decided to ask because her identity was a transfer student. Hana had also talked to him before and told him about the pet system because he had made a good impression of her. He thought, he wanted to hear it once more to see everyone's expressions.
Kamishimo smiled disgustingly then everyone also smiled in disdain at the students wearing marks on their necks.
“This school adheres to caste system,” Kamishimo said.
“Hmm, like Hinduism?” ask Haru.
“It's true! The Student Council of Hyakkou Academy accepts donations from its students, but since it was completely forced, we call it “pajak”. You are ranked based on what you pay in taxes. The bottom hundred are recognized as “housepet” .If students are male, they will be called “anjing” (pochi), if students are female, they will be called “cat” (mike),” Kamishimo said.
“Then what is the difference between them and us?” ask Haru.
“Oh, it's easy.” Kamishimo looked at a man randomly and said, “Oi, come here!”
The man wearing the tag looked a bit scared but walked towards Kamishimo.
“I will teach transfer students about our school traditions. You come down and become my footrest,” Kamishimo said.
The man nodded and placed both his hands on the ground then bowed.
Kamishimo rested his legs on this man's back and said with a smile, “This is the difference between a pet and us.”
“Hmm...” Haru did not have much of an impression as he felt that it was normal when someone lost money in gambling then they would lose everything when they could not pay for it.
“You're a pretty mean guy,” Kamishimo said after seeing that Haru didn't change his expression.
Haru moved her lips and said, “Say someone who uses someone's back as a footrest.”
“Hahaha, that's right,” Kamishimo said with a laugh.
Haru shook his head and said, “You really have a bad hobby.”
“It's not just me but everyone as well.” Kamishimo looked at him and said, “So how about we start gambling?”
Haru nodded and said, “Alright.” He knew the moment he entered this school, it was better not to think of anyone else. “So we have to pay tax?”
“Ya.” Kamishimo took out a card and said, “You must pay at least 100 thousand yen.” He put the card on the table and said, “How about we play a game called “President Speed”?”
“President speed?” Haru knows this game, but he wonders why this guy needs to add “speed”
” president” (round winners) give their weakest card to their opponent, “sc.um” (round losers), who then give their strongest card. So far, it's like playing regular president .. “
“Don't be in a hurry, let me explain it to you. In the thought of “speed” variant, we play with five cards. Only one card is played at a time. There is no pair. This makes the game much faster. There is no need to despair of getting the first step, and if you win, you will get a double return. That could be your big chance, “ Kamishimo said.
“There is also one house rule — three, the weakest card, can beat the joker. How you deal these two cards is the key.”
“I understand,” says Haru.
“Then, do you want to start now?” Kamishimo asked.
“Sure,” says Haru.
Kamishimo thought for a moment and said, “How about we make this game even more interesting?”
“How?” Haru raised his eyebrows.
“Let's play five games!” Kamishimo said as he raised his palm. He smiled and said, “Let's start with 10,000 yen, is it okay?”
“Good.” Haru nodded and asked, “But how is it more interesting?”
Kamishimo smiled widely and said, “Then in the next round, let's raise the bet to 10 times!”
“What?!” Everyone was shocked when they heard it.
10 Times.
Everyone in this school is very smart and they understand that once Haru and Kamishimo are in the fifth round or the last round then they have to bet 100 million yen. They looked at Kamishimo with terrified expressions and looked at Haru with pitiful expressions.
Runa looked at Haru to see what this person would do after hearing the bet.
Some women want Haru to stop because they are worried about her.
“Do you have money to pay?” ask Haru.
“.....” Everyone opened their eyes wide when they heard Haru's reply.
Kamishimo chuckled and said, “The only thing I have never lacked in this life is money.”
Haru nodded and said, “Let's do. I agree with your rules and bet 10 times each round.”
“Good! I love your courage,” Kamishimo said.
“Before we start, can you not record me using your phone?” Haru said as he looked at the person behind Kamishimo. He smiled and said, “I hate it when someone records me when they don't have permission.” He wondered if those people thought that he had not realized this person was cheating in the first place. He thought that this person was too naive to commit their cheating.
Kamishimo turned ugly but snorted inwardly. He calmed himself down and said, “That's right. I would also hate it if someone took a picture of me without my permission.” He looked at the person behind him and told him to leave. His skill is very good and he does not need to cheat to win this match.
Haru only thought that this Kamishimo was a fat sheep ready to be slaughtered by him. ‘100 million yen, huh? I want to know what I should do with that much money.’
