Celia and I rounded up the two supervisors and stepped into the annex.

Through a dark, short passage, the first thing that jumped into my eyes was a white magic lamp dotted on a high ceiling.

There was a considerable amount of light, and I narrowed my eyes with so much dazzling. [M]

Below it is a flat ground that is wide enough.

How many basketball coats do you have?

We have a staircase seat built along the wall - the front row.

Even if I glanced around, there were about 70 galleries for students, including teachers.

"Risha....."

Behind their gaze was Risha showing a painful expression on one hand of her dagger.

The opponent is a blonde girl of the same age as me and Risha, with impressive braiding and ponytail.

She is slightly tall and holds her sword with her left hand.

A teacher who seems to be a referee just in the middle of them, a little farther away.

I see, the body is only set, and the rival horse creates a sense of fairness from the student's side.

"Well, that poor knight has no luck with you."

Celia raised her eyebrows and said.

"Poor Knight? Famous?

"His name is Christina, and he went up to the orphanage without a surname. You can only use magic tools of everyday life level, and if you don't learn, you don't have a family name. However, he pushed out the other candidates with one sword's arm and was chosen as a pro bono. My strength is origami."

As proof of the words, the venue is showing considerable excitement.

Flying cheers, praises, and dirty sedition - spectators can be seen as poor knights.

And Christina moved.

When the distance of about 3 meters is packed into a breath, a flash of divine speed is shaken down from the upper stage.

Being distracted by something, Risha was delayed for a moment.

Immediately after I thought it was bad, there was a crude metal sound that pierced my ear.

It was a sound that was parsed with a dagger placed diagonally.

Lisha looks at the weight of the sword and leaps straight to the side to escape the opponent's time.

Cristina, on the other hand, didn't change her complexion from being hit.

On the contrary, he did not lose any posture to the flowing sword, and took a sideways stance with it as if it had been his aim from the beginning.

You got it.

Celia said in a cold voice.

When I got out of sight of Risha, I looked at the boy student sitting alone somewhat behind me. [M]

I wasn't able to watch the scene of total extinction...

Once again, the metallic sound continued to cheer.

"... Rosie, she must be close to you. You don't want to see it?

"You avoided twisting your body in the air with the sword you received with the dagger, and Risha could do that. But now there's something else to do."

Celia twisted her neck without saying anything, showing her impressive appearance.

"Risha didn't know, and it was unexpected that I would be attacked. But now that this happens, I'm going to take advantage of this situation."

As she arrived, she walked up the stairs, inviting her.

And the boy student who just looked at me had a moment's eye contact.

He smiled so as not to alert him, and sat on the chair next to him with a nasty face.

"Hey, who do you think will win?

"What are you? What are you?"

That's a good reaction.

It's not like I'm watching a game without a uniform.

Whatever you say, it's full of suspicion.

Silently showing Celia behind her with her jaw, the boy's face was distracted by blood.

"No way...!

"Oh, wait, wait."

Grab his wrist in a hurry to get up.

"If you answer my questions, I guarantee your interests and position."

Your pulse is rising and you're breathing faster.

You can see that calm thoughts have already been taken.

"... what if I say no?

Keep your shoulders down.

The boy, who swallowed his mouth and spit, eventually sat back in his seat with all his thoughtful face.

"... okay, what do you want to hear?"

Smile and slap your shoulders while saying it's a wise decision.

"Why don't you tell me your name first?

"My name is... well, Als Corwin."

"Nice to meet you, Ars. How long have you been on this bet?

"Um, about a month ago. I happen to know that this place exists, and then..."

It was just when the students taking the general exam were taking the exam.

People arrive at the casino during the examination season, and the higher the number of people, the higher the risk of information leakage.

Ars must have learned something about it and started to participate.

"I see. This school is full of rich people, so it's hard to get around just by sending them from their parents."

"... how do you know me? You're not from school, are you?

"I'm the one asking the question right now. If you don't want to lose your position as a cashier, just answer the questions. [M] Okay?"

Turn off your smile and peek into Arus's eyes from the front.

He nodded over and over with a frightening expression.

"I'm glad you understand, that's the third question. Have you seen Merkluk Glendrek?

"Ah, then...."

There was a figure of Lukulu and Yuri pointing in the direction of trembling fingers.

Were you there?

"If it ticks, do it after I run away. Glendrek doesn't know anything about gambling."

"Thank you, Als."

Pompoms, hits his shoulders and stands up.

"Hey, wait a minute!

Yeah?

"Oh, no, wait."

I feel like I'm going to blow it up without thinking of Arus, who is going to say it again in honor.

A little too intimidating.

"How did you know I was a special student...?

Oh, that's it.

Regardless of “profit”, the only person who can complain about “position” is someone who must rely on it.

Speaking of important “positions” in this school, it is probably “special students”.

It seems that special students are not just good at their abilities, and that if there is a problem with their bare behavior, they may be removed from the frame.

I've heard it all, but I think Leonard was telling me when.

In other words, the honorary student needs to maintain his seat at all costs.

Regardless of the circumstances, if it becomes obvious that such illegal gambling is involved, it will be a malpractice and a one-shot shoot-out.

Unless you rub it with money or threaten it with power, you may be able to quit school.

If you imagine that, the feeling of crisis and fear will erode your whole body.

It would be impossible for any human to maintain a poker face.

That's why we had an early conversation.

If there was no reaction, it would just have been done by another person.

"--Well, I'm a fortuneteller."

I laughed properly and deceived him, and now it's time to put Ars behind me.
