"Ah, the dormitory is quite small. If you want to watch the game, just stay on your bed."
"we know……"
Since the student union president had spoken, the two students from Class A of Year 1 had no choice but to obey. They climbed halfway and then climbed back obediently.
"As for the number of participants, each group should send two people. If there are too many people, there won't be enough space for them to sit together..."
Nagumo continued to explain the rules, but he stopped midway.
The reason was that Wu Yi had taken the poker from his hand and was holding it in his hand, looking at it carefully under the light, muttering to himself.
"It's a new card. I wonder how it feels."
"Brother Wu Yi?"
Nan Yun looked over with a smile, his empty hand still in the same position as before holding the cards.
If the student was sensible, he would have returned the cards by now.
However, Wu Yili ignored him and casually used his fingernail to scratch open the transparent plastic wrapping paper, opened the cardboard box and pulled out a full deck of fifty-four playing cards.
Wow——!
The next second, the cardboard box was thrown aside, and a gray streak made up of playing cards suddenly stretched out in the dormitory air.
Wu Yi opened and closed his hands, like the slow-motion movements in a movie.
When the thread was about to stretch to its limit, he suddenly put his hands together, and gathered the fifty-four playing cards that were flying in the air and about to fall into a complete stack in his palm.
All neatly arranged without missing a single one.
"It seems that my condition is as good as always."
After saying this, Wu Yi started his flower cutting show in front of the second and third grade students behind Nan Yun who had not yet reacted.
Those cards seemed to have life in his hands, transforming into familiars or elves, sometimes flexibly breaking up into several small stacks and passing through his fingers, sometimes falling like a waterfall, and sometimes catapulting into the air one by one like a ball toss in a juggling act, drawing a perfect parabola and then spinning vertically to fall into the other hand.
"Oh~"
Nan Yun was also a little surprised.
You should know that this kind of operation can usually only be seen in edited videos on the Internet, and it's just like the highlights of professional online game players. There may be only a few wonderful shots in a lifetime, and each one is an extraordinary performance. If you really count them, it is normal for the performance to fail.
But Wu Yi now performed it right in front of them, and at such a close distance.
In the last move, Wu Yi caught a card falling from the air with his index and middle fingers like lightning, then quickly turned around and attacked again, throwing it backwards like a ninja throwing a shuriken.
Driven by inertia, the cards rotate at high speed, cutting through the air and shooting forward.
Amidst the subtle sound of something breaking through the air, someone lying on his side on the bed casually stretched out two fingers and caught the flying card as easily as taking something out of a bag.
Without any effort, the cards stopped spinning.
"Hey, hey, it should have flown back by itself. You're embarrassing me."
After returning to a normal standing position, Wu Yi walked over and took the card that had just been thrown from Kouenji, who was posing in a "handsome man lying on his side" pose.
"Really? That's a pity."
Kouenji didn't care at all and tugged at the hair on his forehead in an extremely narcissistic manner.
"But in my opinion, I just caught a sharp flying object that could have hurt my beautiful cheek."
"How is that possible? It's just an ordinary poker, and there's no razor blade stuck in it..."
Wu Yi shook his head speechlessly, put the card together with the other cards in his hand, and handed them out to Nan Yun and others.
"Okay, I've already shuffled the cards. To be fair, why don't you shuffle them too?"
To wash or not to wash.
This is a very critical question.
Especially since he had already demonstrated his superb card-cutting skills, if Nanyun and others also asked for a shuffle but could not bring the same excitement...even if it was a slightly inferior shuffle performance, it would seem too fussy.
It's just playing cards between classmates, not the kind that makes money, but they are still on guard. It's obvious that they don't trust each other.
Why ask someone to play cards with you if you don't trust him?
Another point is that, given that Wu Yi is extremely skilled in cutting cards, Nan Yun would have to think carefully if he wanted to do anything with the cards during the shuffling process.
If you are in a big casino and are caught with dirty hands, your hands will be chopped off.
Probably this is the reason.
"Well, actually, I personally think it's no longer necessary..."
Nan Yun smiled and changed the subject.
"But after all, we are playing cards with a bet. In order to avoid disputes later, it is better to be a little more cautious."
As he said that, he took the cards from Wu Yi, made a few simple drawing movements, and then handed them to the third-year student on the other side.
The same operation is performed on the third graders.
"Okay, that completes the shuffle."
A square stool for cards was brought in from the corner of the dormitory. Nan Yun was the first to sit down, followed by the other three sophomores and juniors.
"By the way, Wu Yi, is there anyone else here besides you? Don't forget, each group needs two people~"
“Two people…”
Wu Yi turned around and glanced over.
First of all, there is no hope for Ayanokouji. This guy grew up in a sterile warehouse. Let alone drawing joker cards, he probably has never even heard of blackjack.
Next were the two brothers in Class A. When Wu Yi glanced over at them and saw the frequency of their waving hands, he knew there was no hope.
The situation is similar with Hashimoto and Totsuka.
Because their big brother Ryuen was present, Ishizaki and Albert couldn't just rush up and ask to take them with them even if they wanted to participate.
So the only thing left to look forward to is...
"Koenji, don't you plan to fight for your next six days of happiness?"
Volume 213: Chapter : Draw the Ghost Card
"Oh my, I didn't expect that I would be chosen in the end."
On the bed, Kouenji still maintained the "handsome man lying on his side" posture, gracefully holding up the golden hair hanging in front of his forehead.
"If we really want to play cards, I think Dragon Boy over there is a good choice."
Dragon boy?
what is that?
Everyone in the dormitory was stunned when they heard this name that they had no impression of at all.
Dragon boy, literally translated as dragon boy...
And among all the people present, the only one with the word "dragon" in his name seems to be...
"Kouenji, if you want to die, just tell me. I don't mind fulfilling your wish."
Feeling that his dignity was challenged, Ryuuen stopped lying there.
He stood up from the upper bunk, looking down at Koenji on the lower bunk opposite him like a king, revealing a sinister sneer.
At the same time, Ishizaki and Albert, who were on the other two lower bunks, also stood up, sandwiching Kouenji on three sides.
Such a scene frightened Moriyama and Tokito so much that they dared not even raise their heads.
"Ah... are you sure you want to start the film here? I don't mind, but remember to consider the student council president next to us~"
In the first half, Wu Yi still seemed to be a responsible person, but this image collapsed instantly in the second half.
"So if you insist on starting a fight here, my suggestion is to clear out the irrelevant personnel first."
Clean up...
This statement was very interesting, and caused all the second and third grade students to change their expressions.
Only Nanyun still had the same smile.
"Does this 'irrelevant personnel' refer to us seniors?"
"Well..."
Wu Yi did not answer immediately, but continued to look in the direction of the stalemate.
After a while, Ryuuen broke the silence with a sneer.
"Well, I won't bother with you today, but remember, don't let me find any chance."
"Really? That's great. After all, I'm a pacifist."
Kouenji readily accepted this statement, and stood up from the bed nimbly and lightly, then walked straight around Ishizaki and came to the card bench.
"Well, let's play cards in peace and friendship."
"Indeed, playing cards~"
Wu Yishun said this and turned around to pat Nan Yun on the shoulder.
"How is that possible? It's just a joke."
"Well……"
Seeing that a conflict that should have ended in a fight to the death was finally resolved, the two students from Class A breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Koenji's voice rang out again.
"By the way, we are going to play the ghost card game, right? What are the rules?"
"The rules are that you can take cards from the person on your left or right each round, and you can discard them if you make a pair. Whoever has the Joker in their hand loses. If it's a big Joker, just throw it away."
Wu Yi explained as he dealt the cards skillfully.
Kouenji's face quickly revealed an expression of realization.
"I see. It's a really easy-to-understand rule. Although it seems to be all based on luck at first glance, the later you are left, the more it tests your ability to keep a poker face."
"Yes, that's it."
The people who are left behind have fewer cards to draw, which also means that the chance of drawing a joker card will be greatly increased.
At this time, the person who draws the card needs to judge what card he has chosen based on the other person's expression.
If the other party seems to be excited, then it is very likely that you have chosen a joker card.
Similarly, the person whose card is drawn needs to keep a poker face as tight as possible to avoid having his or her true thoughts seen through.
In short, this is actually a game of wits and courage.
The fifty-four cards were quickly dealt out, giving each person exactly nine cards.
"Just drawing cards is boring, let's play while chatting."
Considering that only the hands are needed to draw cards, Nagumo suggested so, and at the same time, he took the lead and drew a card from the third-year student on his left.
"Speaking of which, Junior Wu Yi's shuffling skills are quite advanced. Is it a personal hobby?"
"Well, not really."
Wu Yi grabbed a handful of cards and thought about it for a moment.
"Actually, I'm not really interested in cards. I only learn this because of work."
"Work? Junior Wu Yi started working when he was in junior high school?"
Nagumo's tone was somewhat questioning.
Come to think of it, Japanese law stipulates that one has to be 18 years old to work part-time. Although high school students can also do it, because they are minors, they can only do odd jobs and cannot work after 10 o'clock in the evening.
Not to mention that Wu Yi is only in the first year of high school, and if he has any work experience, it is only in junior high school, and junior high school students are absolutely forbidden to work part-time.
Just looking at such skillful card skills, it seems that they are closely related to places like casinos. Which casino is so bold as to recruit child laborers? Aren’t they afraid of being closed down?
"It can't be considered a part-time job, right?"
Wu Yi tried hard to choose his words.
He was very sure that he and Nan Yun were not on the same wavelength. The work he talked about and the work Nan Yun understood were definitely a world apart... Of course, it was also possible that there was almost no difference.
Because he was practicing this fancy cutting technique in order to work in the casino... To be precise, he was going to the casino to "do" his job.
