Kakegurui: Ten Consecutive Guaranteed Hits

Volume 1 Chapter 12: System? You showed up too late!

As Kuroki spoke, he didn't avoid Kiyohei and intentionally raised an eyebrow at him.

"You agree with me, right?"

Kiyohei remained silent, dealing the cards quietly.

"Tsk, you have no sense of humor." Kuroki clicked his tongue. "Forget about them, let's focus on our game."

"Yeah."

Kiyohei rubbed his temples, no longer paying attention to the girls' situation. He put away his playful thoughts and started to play the cards seriously.

Compared to other poker games, luck played a larger role in blackjack.

However, Kiyohei's luck didn't seem to be on his side; he was losing more than winning.

They started another round.

This time, Kiyohei's hidden card was a 9, and his face-up card was a K, totaling 19, which was already a good hand.

The only hands that could beat him were 20 and blackjack.

With such a strong hand, Kiyohei didn't choose to draw another card.

Kuroki's face-up card was a 5. After checking his hole card, he rubbed his hands together and asked Kiyohei for another card.

It was a 6.

The moment he saw the card, a smile spread across Kuroki's face, and he cheerfully said, "Kiyohei, I raise the bet by 30,000 yen. Will you call?"

He's so confident? Could it be blackjack?

Kiyohei was somewhat surprised, but not to the extent of folding just because of Kuroki's demeanor.

Gambling was not only about luck but also a psychological battle.

Sometimes, even when your opponent clearly has a lousy hand, they maintain an air of confidence, intentionally raising the bet to pressure you into folding.

"I'll call."

Kiyohei's expression remained calm, without easily wavering.

Upon hearing his response, Kuroki's smile grew brighter as he revealed his hidden card, a Jack of Clubs.

His hand added up to blackjack, the highest possible hand.

Kiyohei helplessly laid down his cards.

"Hehe... This means I've won against you again."

Kuroki stretched lazily, looking at the 170,000 yen in front of him, feeling satisfied.

"I lost again." Kiyohei sighed, helpless with his streak of bad luck.

It seemed like his luck wasn't on his side.

They played ten rounds, and Kiyohei only won three of them, with those three wins earning him a mere 10,000 yen each time, as Kuroki didn't raise the bet.

But Kiyohei didn't really care about winning or losing. The information he had obtained from Kuroki today was worth more than the amount he had paid for it.

Just as he was about to say, "Let's call it a day," suddenly, a voice resounded in his mind.

"Achievement completed: 'Newbie Gambler' (Complete ten gambling sessions). The card pool system is now activating..."

This is... a system?
