I can win. With this hand, I can win!

I'll raise you ten chips!

Really? 100,000 yen?

-He's going all in! -If he loses, he's done.

What is Meari going to do?

Call.

I've got a full house!

-Great. -Nice!

Not bad.

How unfortunate.

What?

Thanks for the good game!

-Are you kidding me? -Oh, my god!

A royal straight flush?

DOGGY

From now on,

I will...

take very good care of you.

Since that day...

Doggy.

RYOTA SUZUI, SECOND YEAR, BLOSSOM CLASS

NONCOMPLIANT STUDENT DOGGY

...I've lost my humanity.

Hyakkaou Private Academy.

Founded 122 years ago,

it prides itself on its tradition and status.

Many political and financial elites send their children here.

At first glance, it looks like a typical prestigious institute.

But this particular school has a unique tradition.

That's right. Gambling.

Which number should I bet on? That one?

This one! Go!

-Oh, no! -Give me one chip.

Here's the money.

Call.

-Straight! -Are you serious?

At this school, grades and athletics don't matter one bit.

What you need the most...

What you need the most is the ability to read your opponent,

the guts to go all in when it counts,

and last but not least,

money.

That's what makes a gambler. And only special people like me,

who are destined to boss others around, have what it takes.

You don't stand a chance.

That's how it is.

Where's the money?

Oh, crap.

Crap!

This school also has a hierarchal structure.

The Student Council oversees all gambling activities,

and the students pay their dues to them.

Everyone is ranked,

and those who are below 100th...

Well...

-Hey! -Look who is here!

JUN KIWATARI, CAMELLIA CLASS

If it isn't Suzui, the one ranked 100th from the bottom!

-That's not his name. -Oh, that's right.

I meant Doggy.

What was that for?

Maybe I did it because it's morning.

Or maybe just for the hell of it.

Okay, on your feet!

-Read that for me, would you? -Go on!

Noncompliant students, also known as house pets,

are pieces of trash, who break the important rules

and fail to pay their dues to the Council.

DONATION RANKINGS NONCOMPLIANT STUDENTS

Such pitiful little fools.

That's why we call them Doggy and Kitty,

fitting names for such pathetic boys and girls!

Here it goes!

Here, Doggy! Look what I have here!

Let me smack you around when I feel frustrated.

If you do, I'll lend you some cash.

You want to redeem yourself, don't you?

Or are you planning to run away with your tail between your legs?

If I leave the school, my parents will have to pay off all my debt...

Exactly!

We must never forget about our parents, right?

Here.

Congrats!

You think a house pet like you deserves cash from the master?

Do you hear that? Ding-dong!

Ding-dong!

I'm so thirsty!

And my feet are aching!

What a loser.

At this school, gambling skill is everything.

Once you become a house pet, paying your dues is the only way out.

But you can't do that if you're broke. So basically, you're screwed.

Once a house pet, always a house pet.

-Juice. -Yes, ma'am.

-Aren't you a good little Doggy! -Thank you.

-Why didn't you put the straw in? -Sorry.

YUMEKO JABAMI

Let me introduce your new classmate.

Nice to meet you all.

I'm Yumeko Jabami.

I'm not really good at anything,

but I hope you'll accept me as your classmate.

She's so cute!

Your seat is over there.

Suzui, you are the class representative, right?

Will you please show Jabami around the school?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, Suzui.

No problem.

It seems nice here.

What a wonderful school.

I'm glad I transferred here.

It would be if academics actually mattered.

Jabami,

you know this place is all about gambling, right?

Of course, it has a unique environment.

Listen, don't get involved. This isn't some game.

Kids here are loaded. They bet big.

You'll probably get an invite soon.

Just say, "I don't know anything about gambling."

Jabami, don't accept invites under any circumstances!

What is this?

Oh, it's nothing.

Now,

I can't wait.

Nice to meet you, Jabami!

-Nice to meet you! -Nice to meet you!

-Do you have a boyfriend? -A boyfriend?

-What's your type? -Nice!

-What perfume do you use? -I love the scent!

Nice to meet you. I'm Meari Saotome. Welcome to our school.

I'm Yumeko Jabami. Thanks for being so...

Let's get to the point.

How about we have a gambling match?

Wait, Jabami doesn't know...

-Doggy. -Sorry.

Gamble.

I would love to!

-What? But I already warned you... -Doggy!

Sorry.

So, tell me,

what game are we going to play?

Rock-paper-scissors. Voting edition.

What do you say?

-Rock-paper-scissors? -Doggy!

Sorry.

What kind of game is that?

ROCK-PAPER-SCISSORS, VOTING EDITION

It's a game our class plays occasionally.

We invented it ourselves.

-You created it yourselves? -That's right.

Let me explain the rules.

For this game, everyone in the class must participate.

The 30 students here will each draw

rock, paper, or scissors

on a card.

And to make sure we can't see them, the cards will be placed in a box.

This is the voting part.

Then, we will each draw three cards from the box.

And we will choose a card to play against each other.

If it's a tie, we will play again.

If all three rounds end in ties, then it's a draw.

That's one set.

Unlike regular rock-paper-scissors,

there's no guarantee that all three options will be available.

It's that imbalance that makes the whole thing so fun.

Sounds great. Let's do it.

We'll use these chips. We each get 120.

Each chip is worth...

ten thousand yen.

What? 1,2 million yen? That's crazy!
