Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

100 – Why mess around when you can’t!

Flan left, and only three representatives remained.

“Write everything…. I haven’t done anything like that.”

Becky scratched his head sullenly. Not to mention, she has no experience in using her goods to the fullest in her life.

“My children. Where should I use this?”

Louis thought about the girl’s question, and Trixie simply replied that she should do it herself.

“What the hell, why did Plan ask her to waste her points? I might have a plan…. The problem is that we can’t guess that. I will always die of curiosity.”

“Well, wouldn’t it be nice to have some fun beforehand? You might be killed by the Witchbeast tomorrow.”

“Evil! Don’t talk like that!”

Becky jumped up in panic.

“Ha ha ha, just kidding. Joke.”

While having such a conversation, the three representatives arrived at the heart of the heart. Strict security was spread all over the place, perhaps in preparation for the Witchbeast.

After checking all the tokens of the three representatives, the guards kindly opened the way.

Let’s walk a little like that. A splendid space appeared that made the eyes wide open.

In the center of the plaza with the fountain, accommodations, shops, gambling halls…. Various lengths stretched out. It was completely free for the three of them to decide where to go from now on.

Becky’s mouth fell open.

“That’s amazing…. Um, are you really saying that all of this was made only for the representatives?”

“Of course not.”

Trixie answered.

“In the first place, Berkel is an area where public order is maintained by subjugation. If they spare their support for the representatives, then only they will suffer a loss.”

“Aha. It makes sense when you think so.”

“You idiot.”

“… Why are you doing this to me.”

Becky sweated and Trixie turned his head to the side with a hum.

“Let’s go first, kids.”

Lewis took the first step forward.

“Let’s start using it in earnest from now on.”

◈

“Ah…. I’m full, I can’t eat any more.”

The party first filled their stomachs. When choosing a menu, I did not look at the price, and after eating as much as I wanted to eat, I felt full in the winter.

Watching Becky rubbing her belly with one hand, Trixie clicked his tongue.

“Pig.”

“….”

“See how he likes being full.”

“… Why again.”

After that, we enjoyed snacks and drinks as much as we enjoyed. That’s all, I also picked up some elixirs from the store.

However, the score has not yet reached the bottom. Lewis smiled as if in trouble.

“If I use it this way, it will be faster for the day to dawn. Things related to rest and eating are rated so low.”

“That, that’s right. But you can’t buy things at the store. Because Plan told me not to buy anything other than elixirs….”

Becky nodded quietly. When Plan instructed the delegates to use the points, he added instructions not to purchase anything other than the elixir.

Trixie pondered for a moment, then parted his lips.

“You. How about buying some clothes?”

The ‘you’ was, of course, Becky. Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to Becky’s tangled clothes.

“Eh, is that okay?”

“I don’t really like the clothes sold here, but they look pretty good on you.”

“… Is that a compliment?”

“No.”

“….”

Becky rubbed his still-swollen belly for a moment, then shook his head from side to side.

“I need clothes, but…. Also no.”

“What can’t you do? By acting like a beggar Even at times like this, I hope it helps.”

“No. I mean, Plan decided to buy the clothes for you.”

“Haa….”

Trixie narrowed her eyebrows, but this time Becky’s position was so stubborn that she had no choice but to be dismissed.

At that time. Louis, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth.

“Okay. Hey guys. Then there is only one way left.”

His index finger pointed to the gambling hall.

Becky’s eyes light up.

“Oh, yes! There was a gambling house!”

Everyone understood without difficulty. At this rate, he wouldn’t be able to use all of his points until the day dawned.

“By the way…. Is there anyone in the gambling house?”

“Well, let’s go first.”

Their footsteps naturally headed towards the gambling hall.

And the moment I stepped in.

“….”

The three blinked a couple of times. Not because I admire it, but because it’s much smaller than I thought.

“What are you so shabby about?”

“Isn’t this just a different world?”

Trixie and Becky spat out simultaneously.

Tables and chairs that are not luxurious and only stick to the basic form, and dusty gambling equipment. Compared to other buildings in the ‘Heart’, the gambling hall was noticeably outdated.

There weren’t too many people there. As far as I could see right away, there were only a few employees and a few drivers.

Becky scratched her cheek.

“There are not as many people as I thought.”

“Actually, knights don’t like to gamble.”

“Is that so?”

“I don’t know what chivalry is, but I don’t think it’s written to be close to gambling.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

From what to what? Becky tilted her head.

“So, what do we do now?”

“Currency exchange.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

I moved my steps to the exchange office.

The exchange office was empty. Just as the representatives were perplexed by the lack of staff, a man sitting at a table playing cards approached them.

“What are wizards doing in places like this? I can check the proof and help you exchange money.”

“… ?”

“Aren’t you here to exchange money?”

“Right. But, that….”

“I am an employee. Cashier.”

A bright smile appears on the cashier’s face. In proportion to that, the shock of the representatives was also great.

But soon the cashier’s face was shocked.

“Points you have…. Are you converting all of this? Did I check correctly?”

Becky nodded his head without thinking.

“Uh…. Are there any problems?”

“Ah, hmm.”

The cashier was unaware of his subject and role. He doesn’t ask or argue about anything, his job is to exchange points for chips.

However, the representatives of the Faculty of Magic seemed to be visiting the casino for the first time to anyone, and they looked young, so the words became too long without realizing it.

“Looking at the score, how about stopping by the store first? There must be a lot of items that can be useful in the subjugation system.”

I couldn’t tell you everything directly, but he gave me all the advice he could.

Becky smiled at that kind attitude. And the answer the girl gave was far beyond the cashier’s expectations.

“Ah, our goal is to waste points.”

“… ?”

◈

“Hmm.”

Trixie groaned.

Quick exhaustion, quick sleep. Trixie emphasized only that and the result is this.

Two knights, two staff, and Trixie.

She is sitting at the table playing poker and has just lost all her points.

Kian, the knight sitting across from me, smiled.

“It was a small difference. It was really close.”

With blonde hair, white skin, and white jade skin, he is the leader of the 3rd place pass group ‘Cheongwoon’ in the preliminaries.

“Enough then.”

Since the goal was to waste points in the first place, Trixie tried to get up without hesitation.

“Ah, lady. For a moment.”

Kian caught Trixie.

Looks like he’s made a lot of women cry, he handed back the chip he had won from Trixie.

“I’ll give it back. I wasn’t trying to score points. How about playing one more game instead? It’s fun again because there’s a new face.”

At the words of the cashier sitting next to him, the knights standing nearby burst into laughter.

Despite the fact that there were several other groups around, Qian didn’t seem intimidated or nervous in the slightest.

On the contrary, he trembled and answered.

“Ah, after all, it’s not an addiction. It’s only going to be beaten during the subjugation festival.”

“It’s at the level of participating in a subjugation festival to beat this.”

“Well, I won’t deny that either.”

The employee smiled and looked at Trixie.

“My lady, what do you want to do? Are you going to play more games?”

“I will decline.”

Trixie was actually restless.

Not because I lost points, but because I left the trivia behind.

Thanks to that, I can’t get in touch with Gyo-soo at all, so I want to run to the dorm right away. Now wasn’t the time to play poker.

Trixie noticed the other two.

“You write quickly too. Because I want to go back.”

“Well, then let’s do it quickly. I’ll give all my chips to Becky.”

“I, tell me to do it… ?”

Becky, who had even received all of Louis’ chips, put on a bewildered expression.

As Becky approached the table, Qian smiled brightly this time.

“Hmm, this lady is not my taste. I don’t think I can look at you, but are you okay?”

“… ?”

Becky twitched her eyebrows.

“… Isn’t that my taste too? And I have a man.”

“Nothing.”

Tricksy cut in from behind.

“….”

There was silence for a while, and it was Becky who broke the silence.

“Anyway, I don’t like that either.”

“It’s good that you don’t like each other. We’ll have to fight each other with all our might.”

Kian asked indirectly.

“Seven poker is fine, right?”

“Joe, good.”

He pretended to be confident, but Becky wasn’t confident. I had no experience playing poker in my life.

“Mutually agreed…. Then let’s begin.”

“Hmmm.”

The game of the century, betting on Becky’s pride, began, and the dealer split the hand into 3 cards.

The rules of the game are simple.

Of the 3 cards received, 1 card will be disclosed and the other 2 cards will not be disclosed.

After that, as the game progresses, additional cards are supplied to the dealer, and the game ends as soon as the player has a total of 7 cards in their hand.

The hand is revealed, and the one with the better genealogy wins.

Everyone checks their hand. Confidently present the front of one of the three cards to be revealed.

“Um, over there?”

But then. Kean opened his mouth.

Because Becky didn’t do anything, he was just looking around.

“Lady. Don’t you check your card?”

Becky blinked a couple of times.

“OK…. What confirmation?”

“I don’t look at my own cards, and I don’t even look at the cards the other person has revealed. I just don’t want to see anything.”

The girl nodded her head with her innocent face.

“Oh, um, that’s right. It did….”

“Is this your first time?”

“Is that so?”

Becky was in denial, but everyone in the casino understood that she was playing poker for the first time.

Immediately after each additional card was distributed.

“Raise.”

Kian immediately raised the plate. Becky’s being a newcomer also played a part, but it was also because the hand he was holding now was so good.

The completion of “Back Straight Flash” Was just around the corner.

“Uh…. Raise me too?”

Becky raised without knowing anything.

Kian shouted a raise with a confident face, so he thought he had to do the same. No other reason really existed.

“This…. Are you okay? The plate is too big.”

“Leave it. It’s not even our score.”

“That’s right.”

After that, the size of the board grew rapidly, and the spectators started whispering one by one.

After betting all the points he could, Qian smiled leisurely and looked around.

“Since I promised to do my best, I want to increase the scale…. By any chance, can someone lend me some points?”

Kian added one more word to that.

“Of course I will pay back with interest.”

The knights watching from the side readily lent points to Qian. The saying that you have to pay for it at the bottom is probably an expression that was made for this situation.

The score reached the point where it exceeded Becky’s total, and it literally turned into a huge mountain.

Kian chuckled.

“If you don’t have enough points, it’s okay to cast artifacts. Or something like a first love story would be fine. If it’s interesting to hear, it’s like counting points.”

Then the knights who were watching around me roared and responded vigorously. A girl who was young and didn’t know anything was the best prey to tease.

“Hey. Yours.”

In the end, Trixie intervened.

“If you come to play poker, just play poker quietly.”

“Well, I just made a suggestion.”

Qian shrugged his shoulders.

Still, thanks to Trixie’s intervention, Becky was able to resist the provocation. In the first place, even if he didn’t bother to stake an artifact, the stakes on the table were already very high.

“What will the rest of you do?”

“I die.”

“Me too.”

The rest of the crowd shouted die.

Because in the first place, this game was a match between Becky and Kian. Everyone’s attention was focused on the two.

The clerk chuckled and asked Becky.

“The board has grown too big. Miss, how are you? Are you okay with losing?”

“Uh, um. That’s it.”

Becky looked behind him, speechless.

‘What should I do?’

But Trixie and Louise said nothing. Looking at Becky’s hand from behind, their faces turned pale as if they were unable to say anything.

Becky felt defeat.

Slowly, he checked the five cards in his hand.

First of all, all five diamonds are black.

10, J, Q, K, A

‘There is only one number….’

It was an odd hand with no overlapping cards.

‘Hi Mr…..’

I know it will hurt my pride, but it’s not bad considering that I can get back to my dorm quickly.

I decided to take comfort in that thought.

“Shall we play the cards soon?”

“Yes.”

“Now then, start with me.”

Kian revealed his hand.

Back straight flash.

“Wow, isn’t that a joke?”

“Take a bite, Kian!”

Just looking at the reaction from the people around us, we could tell that it was a very good hand. Becky’s face hardens.

“You said you wouldn’t look at that. Of course, it’s not my skill, it’s just luck, but….”

Kian has already started collecting the chips on the table. But then.

“Wait a minute.”

Lewis grabbed Qian’s wrist. Very strong too.

“… Hey, why would a wizard use his power?”

“You should check Becky’s hand.”

Louis gave Becky a wink, and Becky, bewildered, revealed her hand.

Royal straight flash.

It was a better hand than Qian.

“Royal straight flash. Becky won.”

Kian’s face gradually turned pale as he checked the card. With a face that looked as if it would turn to ashes if struck, he double-checked Becky’s hand in disbelief.

Becky jumped up from her seat.

“Did you win? Hey, did you win? I?”

All of Becky’s downy hairs stood stiffly on end.

I feel great goosebumps. Even if you didn’t know the rules, there was a lot of joy in enjoying the victory after the tension.

“Yah-hoo!”

Becky embraces all the chips Kian was taking. Becky shouted at Kian over and over as the number of chips multiplied.

“Why mess around when you can’t even play poker! It’s made to feel like cheese…. Guys like you are the worst!”

The faces of the knights who lent points began to grow more stern. Their anger was, of course, directed at Kian.

“Hey Qian, what are you going to do with my score?”

“I lent everything I had to you….”

“First of all, everyone calm down… !”

I doubled my points, and lost three knights.

It was an achievement Becky made with just one game.

Looking at such a scene, Louis touched his forehead. It was a bonus to burst into a peek laugh.

“I came here to score points, but I actually earned them.”
