I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to say. You're a monster,.......

　It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web and also the internet.

I'm not sure what to say. That's a tough one. ......

　I wiped off my sweat and looked around.

""......"

　There were nearly fifty of them lying on the ground.
　The other fifty were being taken care of by everyone in Class A.

(The seniors are all very skilled, but ...... there are Leah and Rose on the other side. I'm sure they'll be fine.

　Those two are incredibly strong.
　I'm sure they'll be victorious by now.

Well, let's have it then.

　I pull out gin notes one after another from the wallets of my seniors.

(I'm not stealing any cash, and I'm not doing anything wrong according to the rules, but ......)

　(I'm not stealing cash, and I'm not doing anything wrong according to the rules, but ) Going through the wallet of an unconscious person was a slightly heartbreaking act.

(...... but this is a serious game, the Ura-Senba Festival. (But this is a serious competition, the Ura-Senba Festival, and it's a team game for the whole class.

　I told myself that I couldn't drag everyone down, so I quickly collected the djinn.

I told myself that I couldn't drag everyone down, so I quickly collected the djinn. "Here we go, ....... That's quite a collection.

　I stuffed the large amount of djinn money into the pockets of my uniform, and was about to meet up with the rest of Class A when...

"Hmmm!　Good day, Allen-kun!　How's your body feeling after a series of battles with fifty people?

I'm sorry to say that I'm tired, but I need your help. ......

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how to get there.

I'm not sure what to say.　You're in good shape, you're weak!

You can't win in a straight fight. ....... You can't win a straight fight. ......

　Apparently, the two of them were trying to take advantage of the situation.

　But--

"Excuse me, but I'm still good. ......?

　I focused my darkness on the injured area and healed it in a matter of seconds.

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

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. I'm not sure what to make of that.

No, I only just found out about it myself.

　The first time I discovered the ability to heal darkness was when I was fighting with Idra.

I've only recently learned about it.

　I stepped forward with a smile on my face, fully recovered from the wounds I had sustained earlier.

I stepped forward with a smile and said, "Wait a minute, Tamma ......!

"Wait, I want you to wait, ......!

　The two of them hurriedly called for a halt and began to discuss in small voices.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. I'm not sure what to do.

It's actually too reckless a fight,....... But if you pull out at this point, you can be sure that Xi will be very annoyed. ......

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. It's a good idea to avoid close combat and attack from a distance to avoid ...... losing your spiritual power.

I'm sorry to inform you that it's hopeless. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

...... Hey, hey, is that guy invincible?　I'm not sure what to make of that.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

(I don't know what they're talking about,.......)

　If I'm going to do this, I want to do it quickly.
　I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm not the only one.

If you're not coming, I'll come to you.

　So I pulled out my sword and took another step forward.

And then I took another step forward.　I'm going to show my seniority ......!

I'm going to attack, and I need you to hold them back. ......

　The two of them deployed their soul armor at the same time and the curtain came down on a fierce battle.

I'm sorry.

　After that, the battle with Lilim and the others was fierce.

　The two of them never tried to fight me head on, but mainly attacked from a distance.
　In addition to my weakness in long-distance combat, they knew all of my moves, and I was forced to fight a very difficult battle.

　And so, after a fierce battle.

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

No, it's really ...... too strong. ......

　I managed to defeat Lilim and Ferris.

I'm not sure what to say. This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your money.



　Although it was two against one, it was a very close match.
　We worked well together to make up for each other's gaps, and continued to fight from a distance, which is my weakness.
　It's an excellent strategy that is focused on winning.

(This is ...... I need to take a break somewhere.

　Immediately after killing fifty people, I had a fierce battle with two members of the student council.

　As you can see, I used a little too much darkness.

　Although I still have some energy left, I don't know when something will happen again.
　It's better to rest while you can.

(The best place to hide is .......)

　So I quickly decided on my destination, pulled the gin bills out of their wallets, and quietly left the place.

　I walked through the eyes of the older students and went to the student council room.

　It was a little far from the other classrooms, and with the Ura-Senba Festival in full swing, it was unlikely that anyone would bother to visit.

　I opened the door slowly to make sure I didn't make a loud noise and entered the student council room.

Phew. ....... I can finally take a breather. ......

　And just when I let out a big breath.

"Welcome, Mr. Allen.

　From the far end of the room, student body president Shih Arxoria appeared.
　This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your investment.

I'm not sure what to say.　Why are you here ......?

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm not sure what to make of it. --I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more information on this site.

I see. ....... It was all your doing to set up the seniors. ......

"Well, how about that?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this subject in the future.

　The president is a wise man.
　He must have manipulated the upperclassmen into attacking the first year A class.

(......Well, that's all right.)

　This Ura-Senba Festival is a real battle, where anything is possible - talking is also a form of power.

　But there was one thing that really bothered me.

"...... Chairman. Can I ask you one question?

"Yes, what is it?

　She nodded her head and waited quietly for the question.

I don't know, I mean, ....... Don't tell me you've been waiting here at ...... all this time?

　Nearly fifty minutes have already passed since the start of the Ura-Senba Festival.
　It is now the middle of September.

(Although it is still warm during the day due to the lingering heat, ......)

　It was almost 20 o'clock, and I was a little chilly in just my uniform.
　If I were to just sit here and wait without turning on the lights or moving my body, I would catch a cold.

　And then.

"Yes, yes, yes!　

　The Chairman sneezed in perfect timing, like a cute little animal.

"...... Chairman. Please think about it a little more--

　I opened my mouth with a sigh.

I'm not going to be lecturing my sister for a hundred years!

　She turned red and slammed the desk with a bang.

(A little black-hearted, but ....... The chairman of the board always has something missing (...).

　He's like a little devil that you can't really hate.

Huh. ....... I'm sure you're not feeling too well, so can you let me off the hook for today ......?

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

Absolutely not!

　As expected, he flatly refused.

But we don't want you to get sick after the fight. ......

　When I refused to fight again, the chairman laughed with an expression of pride.

I'm sure you're not mistaken about ...... something, Allen.

"Misunderstanding, ......?

Yes. I never said it was going to be a sword fight between you and me, did I?

It's not a sword fight. ......?

　I had a bit of a bad feeling about this.
　I think this exact same situation happened to me a few months ago.

In the first place, I don't believe that I can win a one-on-one sword fight against Allen-kun. That's why we're going to play this today!

　He then placed a set of playing cards on the desk.

(...... I knew it!)

　Apparently, this hardcore loser was still reeling from his previous (...) defeat (...).

　I looked at the deck of cards a little wistfully.

"Is that ...... another 'gimmick card'?

"Hmm, you've got me there. I wouldn't play the same hand twice, would I?

　She then foolishly handed the deck of cards to me.


　I took a quick look at the deck of cards and then stared at the back.

...... Sure looks like an ordinary deck of cards.

　But there was nothing like the trick I had seen last time.
　It's definitely just an ordinary playing card that you can buy anywhere.

Are you sure you want to play poker?

"Yes, of course. And I have a suggestion: ....... How about we switch dealers after each game?

...... Oh.

　This is a declaration of war to play a game of cheating with each other.

　Perhaps the chairman has been practicing cheating since her last defeat.
　I could see the strong confidence in her eyes.

"Okay. Let's go with that.

　I kept a smile on my face, but my inner fighting spirit was burning.

　So far, I had learned mahjong, roulette, chin-chin, and many other games from Takeo.
　I have learned many games from him, from basic rules to applied tactics, and even how to cheat and how to break them.

　And of all these games, the one I'm best at is the card game.

　I am so good at it that I even made old man Takemoto say, "I have nothing more to teach you.

　Looking at the clock, the time is already 19:50.
　There were only ten minutes left until the end of the festival, and this would probably be the last game of the Ura-Senba Festival.

"Hmm, let's get started then, shall we?

"Yeah, I'll take it.

　And so, in the student council room at night, the silent battle with the president began.
