After winning the battle with the chairman, I quickly cleaned up the cards on my desk.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure how this is possible,.......

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　I guess she never dreamed it would end up like this.

(Well, that's understandable. ......)

　After all, the chairman had prepared three tricks for this game.

　The first one was to "load" the deck with cards.
　Before the game started, I checked the deck for gimmick cards.

(Perhaps the chairman was confident that he wouldn't be caught. ......)

　It was obvious to anyone with a little bit of experience in cheating that all of the cards in the deck were numbered three in a row.
　Just like one, four, seven, ten, thirteen, and so on.

(This is not 'making your own hand', but 'stacking to prevent your opponent from making a hand'.

　It is difficult to make a straight or even a one-pair hand with a deck of cards numbered three in a row.

　And the fact that he gave up the dealer's turn to us first was part of his strategy.

　After one game, some of the cards will be revealed.
　She casually slid a pair of them to the bottom of the deck.

　The chairman then piled on two more cheats.

　The "false shuffle," which made it look like the deck had been shuffled without changing the order of the cards at all.
　The "Bottom Deal," in which the player pretends to deal the top card, but deals the bottom card.

(I'm sure she's been practicing a lot for this day. ......)

　She executed the two cheats at a very high level.

　(She must have had a lot of practice for this day. ) She performed two cheats at a very high level.
　The "False Shuffle" and "Bottom Deal" combo, in which only the chairman always gets more than one pair.

(It's a humble strategy, but a great one with little risk of failure. ......)

　If we played head-to-head, the chairman would win at .99%.
　But her strategy was shattered by my move.

　Yes, the shotgun shuffle.

　This kind of loading is strong for normal shuffling where the order does not change significantly.
　However, it is powerless against the shotgun shuffle that destroys the order of the cards.

When his stacking was broken, the chairman fought back with false shuffles and bottom deals, but .......
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure what to say. The game is mine to win, so can I have some gin?

　After winning the cheating poker game with the chairman, I demanded the gin, which is the right of the winner.

　But

"Wait, wait, wait, ......!

　I knew it. .......

　The chairman didn't give it to me so easily.

"Allen, ......!　What kind of cheating did you do?　I'm not going to get mad at you now, sister, just tell me the truth!

No, sir. ....... I didn't do anything that could be called 'cheating'.

Bullshit!　You can't have two royal straight flushes in a row, that's impossible!

　She seemed to be convinced that I was cheating.

She seemed convinced that I was cheating. "Oh, ha ha ....... Well, let's put that to the side for a moment.

　It's not a good idea to reveal your hand to the public.

　I'm not sure what you're talking about.
　It is more like a 'technique'.

"No!　I'll never give you my djinn until you crack. ......!

　The Chairman turned away, sounding like a child.

Huh. ....... I see. ......

　I got up from my chair and examined her whole body - mainly the pockets of her uniform.

(There's no ...... 'bulge'. It doesn't look like she has a lot of djinn.

　This would not be a big problem even if I couldn't collect it.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

　This is a great way to get the most out of your time and money.

I'm sure you'll understand. Now, if you'll excuse me.

　Just as I was about to turn on my heel and leave the student council room.

"Wait, wait, wait!　I'm begging you, tell me what kind of trick you're playing!　If you leave me like this, I won't be able to sleep well. ......!

　She took my hand and begged me desperately.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　To be honest, there's not a single advantage to revealing your M.O. here.

But if you don't want to tell me, you can go to .......

"What if I tell you ......?

"If you tell Allen that ......... I'll tell you that Allen did something naughty to me. ......!

　The chairman's face turned red as he said something outrageous.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. ...... Please don't do that.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to buy a lot of things.

I'm not sure which one you'll choose.　I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.　There's only two ways to go!



　The chairman of the board was flushed with excitement and crowded me.
　I could smell the sweet scent of him, and I could feel my heart beating a little faster.

Huh. ....... I can't help it. ......

　I sighed in frustration.

"Yes!　That's what I'm talking about, Allen-kun!

　The chairman punched his hand and smiled like a child.

"Well then, Mr. Chairman. "So, Mr. Chairman, what is the hardest move to make?

"A 'hard to make hand' ......?　Hmm, a straight?

Haha, that's too easy.

　I quickly shuffle the deck and deal five cards from the top.

...... What's this?

"Can you turn it over for me?

Yeah, okay, it's ......?　It's a 'straight' ......?

　The chairman's eyes widened as he realized that he had been right.

How did you do that?

I did not do anything difficult. Well, ...... have you ever heard of 'card counting' in blackjack?

Yeah, yeah. ....... It's a tactic to memorize how many cards of ten or more are left in the deck to reduce the probability that your hand will burst over twenty-one.

　She answered a little unsurely.

You're right, Mr. Chairman, you're generally right. And this (...) I'm working on now is a development of that - Card Memorizing.

"Card Memorizing ......, you mean memorizing?

Yes. You have to memorize all the numbers from 1 to 13 and the four suits in the deck, for a total of 52 cards.

No, that's impossible, of course!

It's easier than you think once you get used to it.　Once you get used to it, it's easier than you think. It only takes half the effort to memorize 99.

No, no, no. ....... Even if you can memorize the order, if it gets shuffled, it's the end of the world!

If you look carefully, there's nothing wrong with that. All you have to do is reorder the cards in your mind.

　The shuffling is not so difficult to follow compared to a deadly fight with a serious weapon, where every second counts.
　All you have to do is to reconstruct the order of the cards in your brain every time the shuffle takes place.

Once you've memorized the order of the deck, you're good to go. Just shuffle with a little care to get the card you want on top. ...... See?

　And so I dealt the five cards in front of the chairman - she spread them out and was speechless.

".......

　I'm sure you'll agree that this is a great idea.

"This is not ......!　As long as Allen-kun is the dealer, no one can ever win. ......!

　The chairman glared at me.

It's not like that, you know.　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the best results.

"I'm ......?

Yes. It is absolutely impossible to memorize fifty-two cards in an instant, no matter what. In order to use it, you need to look at the deck carefully for a certain amount of time(・・・・・).

"A certain amount of time" ......?　Could it be that time (・・・・)?

Yes. I pretended (・・・・) to (・・・・・・・) check (・・・・) the gimmick card (・・・・・・・), but I actually remembered the cards in the deck all along.

　From my point of view, I honestly didn't care whether it was a gimmick card or not.

　As long as I could remember the cards in the deck - as long as I could use Card Memorizing, the game would be decided.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. Then this game is .......

Yes, I knew I was going to win from the start.

　The next moment after I finished my explanation.

I'm sure you'll agree. If you can manipulate the cards in the deck at will, then you can ....... The last (...) thing (...) is mean, isn't it ......?

　The quick-thinking chairman immediately noticed (・・・・) and (・・・・).

"....... What are you talking about, ......?

You'll be able to find a lot more information on this subject in the following article.

I'm the last. I was so happy to see the full house together. ....... "Yes!　I can beat Mr. Allen with this hand! ....... But then I heard what you just said and I realized: ....... You set that up, didn't you?

　The chairman said, and looked at me with a frown.

　...... As expected, there is no excuse for this.

I'm sorry. ....... I'm sorry, but the chairman's reaction was just too funny. ....... I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. ......



　It was really a small act.
　She changed her expression so often that it became ...... fun, and I just did it.

　Then, when I confessed honestly.

"I knew it ......!　I'll do this to you if you're mean to me,......!

　The Chairman got up from his chair and started walking towards the large window behind him.

　He then opened the window with a practiced hand.

"Hey, guys!　Allen-kun is here!　He's got wounds, so this is your chance!

　In a loud voice, he announced my hiding place.

"Chairman?

"No, no, no!　I don't know any more girls who are mean to my sister!　...... Heck.

I'm going to go to ...... now!　--I'm going to go now! And don't catch a cold.

　I said quickly, and ran out of the student council room.

　However.

"I found you, Allen-Roddle!

　He was probably in the area to begin with.

　A group of three older students had spotted him.

　The number of them increased one by one, and before I knew it, I was surrounded in no time.

Hehe. It's like the chairman said, you've got wounds all over your body. ......!

I'm sorry, but I can't let a year take the championship away from me. ......!

This is a real battle - don't call me a coward. ......?

　In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to take a look at the following.

I'm not sure what to do. But there's only a few minutes left before the Ura-Senba Festival ends,.......

　If it's just a few minutes, you can make it ......!

I'm not sure what to say. It's the last battle of the day, really. ......!

　I poured all my remaining spiritual power into it and swallowed the whole area in blackness.

I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before.　I'm not sure what to do.

Don't let your guard down. ......!　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.

　The seniors, seeing the darkness that covered the ground, began to rustle.

So here we go,.......

　After that, I never fell down and continued to fight until the end of the bell.

And so it went.

　After the hour-long "real battle" was over, I headed to class 1A with a tired body.

　I slowly opened the door to the classroom.

Oh, Allen ......!　Thank God, you're okay!

It's a good thing you're not defeated by that many seniors,.......

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure you'll be fine. ...... Are you two okay?

Yeah, it's nothing!

It's just a scratch. Don't worry about it.

Well, that's good to know.

　As we were talking, the rest of the class came over to us.

"Hey, Allen. "Hey, Allen, how many djinn did you scrape together?

"Heh, let's see who's got more!

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

Yes, ........ I haven't counted yet, but I think I've collected quite a bit.

　As I said this, I pulled out a large number of gin bills from my pants and breast pockets.

"Seriously, ......?

This is the best ....... in the class by far. No, it's the best in the entire school year,.......

　Apparently, this was quite a lot of money, and dry laughter escaped from everyone's mouths.

　A few moments later, the door to the room rattled open and Ms. Leia appeared with a large box in her hand.

Gentlemen, you've had a good day!　I'd like to collect the djinn that Class A has earned. ...... Huh!　There's quite a bit of it here!　This could be promising!

　With that, she put the djinn that everyone had earned into a box and headed off to another class.

　Afterwards, as they were talking about who was the toughest and what kind of soul wearers they had, the hospital broadcast came on.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work today!　Both the front and back Senbi Festivals were of a high level rarely seen in recent years!　Now, without further ado, let's get down to the results!　The winner of this year's Ura-Senba Matsuri, standing at the top of all classes, is Class 1-A with their overwhelming amount of money!

　At that moment.

At that moment... ""Yippee!"

　A shout of joy erupted from the crowd.



"Yes, we did it!　This means we're the strongest class at Senba Academy, right?

Yes!　We're the best, both in name and reality!

There's a huge prize too, right?　Oh, come on, how are we going to use it?

　Everyone was so excited that they decided to have a victory party to celebrate.

"Hey, what about Leah?

"Hmm ....... If Allen's going, I might as well go.

Okay, well, since you're going, ...... let's go together!

Yeah!

　So I went to the victory party with Leah and we had a lot of fun talking until late that night.
