He's a crossover character in anime/manga, and basically just very despicable.

Saotome Meari began explaining the rules.

"First, have each of the 30 students draw one of the three games—rock, paper, scissors—on a card."

Then the cards are placed into the box without the gamblers' sight.

The two gamblers each draw three cards from a box, then choose one of the three cards to play rock-paper-scissors.

If it's a tie, choose one more card from the remaining two and continue playing rock-paper-scissors.

If all three attempts are the same, it's a tie, and the round ends there.

"This round, we're betting one million yen! How about it, are you in?"

"Hmm...not very good."

A cold glint flashed in Kurosaki Azami's eyes.

"If we're going to play, let's go big, ten million."

Lose? How could I possibly lose?

Saotome Meari, do you dare to disobey me, who is carrying the Crimson King?

Chapter 60 A Gambling Adventure of a Scumbag

Compared to simple rock-paper-scissors, the game of "voting rock-paper-scissors" is different because the probability of each of the three (rock, paper, scissors) appearing is not one-third random, but is influenced by the voter. Therefore, the number of rock, paper, scissors cards in the hands of the two players is very likely to be unequal.

"It's precisely the speculation and calculation surrounding this inequality that makes the game interesting!"

Saotome Meari laughed.

"Draw the curtains! Turn on the lights!"

In the dark classroom, the dim light on the desk became the only source of light.

"That way, none of us can see what our classmates have drawn. What do you think, Kurosaki-kun?"

"I have no opinion."

Should I draw the curtains?

The Crimson King says, "That's it? That's it?"

"Such a nonchalant attitude... Just wait until I beat you, then I won't let you lick my toes, and I'll sell you to a porn site!"

Saotome-san begins to mentally set herself up as a minor villain.

After the students drew rock-paper-scissors on all the "ballots," they put the "ballots" into the prepared box.

"Hey Jabami-kun, how about you be a dealer?"

"Okay, Kurosaki-kun."

"I have no objection either."

In the "rock-paper-scissors voting" game, the dealer cannot interfere with the result of the two sides drawing votes. Making Kurosaki Azami's teammate the dealer would not only be of no benefit to Kurosaki Azami, but would also make Jabami Yumeko less distracted and more aware of her surroundings.

"Let's begin then."

Kurosaki Azami didn't think that much about it.

He only brought Yumeko Jabami along to see what it was like to be a "sexy dealer dealing cards online."

Besides, I had carefully studied the information provided by Lady Kaguya.

Although there was no information about non-student council members like Saotome Meari, Kurosaki Azami at least knew that in this academy, the "livestock" who were forced to endure bullying and oppression and could only obey the orders of other students had to wear "livestock identification tags" around their necks at all times.

There are 30 students in this class, and 21 of them are wearing livestock tags.

As long as Saotome Meari makes the arrangements in advance, she can determine the proportion of cards in the ballot box.

"Besides, someone will definitely reveal my hand to Saotome."

"The Scarlet King - Epitaph!"

The "future" that has been anchored is already etched in Azami Kurosaki's eyes!

"Thirty seconds later, it will be Saotome's first turn, and she will play a piece."

"That's good... Crimson King! Delete 2 seconds of time!"

When Kurosaki Azami reached into the ballot box, she activated [Crimson King], thereby picking out the scissors card she wanted.

"Just as I thought, most of the cards in this box are rock or paper, with very few scissors."

Looking up at Saotome Meari, Kurosaki Azami waved his hand.

"Let's reveal the cards."

Saotome plays paper, Kurosaki Azami plays scissors, and Kurosaki Azami wins.

"How... how is this possible!"

Saotome Meari is a sore loser.

It's not about personality, it's about financial resources.

Unlike most students at Hyakkaou Academy, she came from an ordinary family and entered the academy based on her excellent grades.

While the "rags-to-riches" trope is inspiring, in a gambling school where "the depth of one's wealth determines the strength of one's abilities," Saotome's situation is extremely precarious.

If a wealthy tycoon loses ten million, he'll just be eating pickled vegetables for a few days.

If Saotome loses ten million, she'll basically be treated like livestock.

That's why she painstakingly established her position in the grade and built a gambling game based on her prestige and calculation ability.

For a typical villain in a storyline, this is indeed quite excellent.

However, she is facing Azami Kurosaki, who uses Diavolo's Stand, has Dio's dream, is preparing to do the same things as Kars and DIO, is currently living the same life as Yoshikage Kira, and is as despicable as Father Pucci.

Bearing the name of a villain, I will not lose!

"Wow...you might be surprised, but this is the reality that's happening right in front of you."

A chilling atmosphere filled the dark room, causing everyone present to shiver.

What gave you the illusion that you could beat me?

Kurosaki Azami's evil gaze swept over Saotome Meari's entire body, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, chilling her to the bone.

"Is that the boy behind me who's gesturing at you?"

"Was this arrangement, which you thought you had carefully crafted?"

Or perhaps...

Kurosaki Azami pointed behind Saotome Meari.

"Is it these 'livestock' who harbor resentment towards you but dare not express it?"

Looking at the group of livestock with blank expressions but resentful hearts, Kurosaki Azami slightly opened his left eye.

Desire Eye, activated.

"That's right! Always acting all high and mighty, who do you think you are!"

"How dare they trample on the heir of Fengcheng Electric Appliances! They're incredibly audacious!"

"Watch out, or I'll make sure you can't survive without the King of Flowers!"

Although judging success by gambling is criticized, it is undeniable that this blatant survival of the fittest effectively masks discrimination between students from different social classes.

What Kurosaki Azami just did was to use the livestock's discontent to expose this discrimination to Saotome once again.

"No...why..."

Within the school, Saotome Meari is a top-ranked second-year student, but outside of school, she is just an ordinary working-class daughter, whose father's annual salary is less than what Saotome earns from gambling.

Do you want to get out of this predicament?

Kurosaki Azami's mesmerizing voice rang out.

"Then how about you come and work for me?"

"Although your ability to adapt to changing circumstances after your plan was exposed was not very good, I am willing to admit that you had a talent that was beyond the reach of ordinary people when you were setting up the scheme."

"I would be very happy if this talent could be used by me..."

"No! Kurosaki Azami... don't come near me!!!"

This man possesses a terrifying and profound attraction, like a black hole!

Listening to his words just now, I actually felt a sense of willingness to become his puppet and be at his beck and call!

No...please don't come any closer!!!

I have absolutely no recollection of what I said or did.

Running for her life, completely ignoring the gambling game left behind, Saotome Meari used her familiarity with the layout of the Hyakkaou School Building to scramble and crawl away.

"It seems she's given up the bet... That means I've won."

Student council spies were everywhere, monitoring the entire Hyakkaou gambling game, so Kurosaki Azami had no worries about defaulting on her debts.

"Saotome Meari is a very talented person. It would be a shame to ruin her."

As Kurosaki Azami put away his chips, he thought to himself with a sigh.

"Such a mesmerizing aura, such a terrifying sense of oppression..."

Her wine-red pupils gleamed with an eerie light, Yumeko Jabami thought to herself.

"Even though it's probably a 'sure-win' bet, I really want to make a bet with Kurosaki-kun..."

————————————————The Crimson King———————————————————

"Yu Xing, what's up so late?"

Hyakka-o has dormitories, but Kurosaki Azami, being new to the area, chose to commute first and plans to find a dormitory room later.

"Hey Ji, look, isn't tomorrow the weekend...?"
