You avert your eyes for a couple of seconds from Dr. Calamity’s table to watch, in horror, how your great honorable principal is shamelessly trying to cheat. The pathetic excuse for an educator knows no low road he didn’t like, and he’ll cross them like a king! But you cannot look away from such a transgression! No, you must raise your voice and call out this injustice!
“Mr. Conti. What are you doing?” You get close to the Group C table. He has 3 cards in hand! That’s illegal!
“Is there an issue?” Victor is matching the math teacher’s bet.
“A-Ando, I have no idea what you’re speaking of!” Mr. Conti tries to hide the extra card under his sleeve. “Please ignore him, we have a game to continue!”
“Come clean, Conti.” You won’t say a word more.
“Mr. Ando, you’ll have to wait for the finals if you wish to speak to me… Can’t you tell I’m busy?!” Mr. Conti is trying really hard not to lose his cool.
Rooke creates a regular-sized pawn piece with his powers. He gently blows on it. The pawn clashes with the math teacher’s hand, forcing him to drop the card he was hiding.
“T-This isn’t what it looks like…!” Mr. Conti is acting like a fraud.
“Another card?” Kevin inspects it. “That only could mean he...”
“He’s cheating.” Richard sighs.
“What happened here, Mr. Detective? Why didn’t you notice it?” Rooke isn’t impressed by the policeman’s ability.
“I did.” Richard doesn’t care. “He isn’t proficient at it, and even worked against his own interests. His attention was placed more on the tricks than the game. I’d bet good money that he would’ve fared better if he played clean.”
“Sounds like excuses to me.” Rooke doesn’t buy it as he laughs.
“But he did not. Justice shall be imparted.” Victor will bring the hammer of justice down on Conti.
“My hand was forced! I was denied what was rightfully mine! Don’t act like you wouldn’t do this in my place!” Mr. Conti smashes the table with one hand.
“I… actually have little idea of what you mean, Mr. Conti.” Kevin adjusts his glasses.
“None of us do.” Richard crosses his arms.
“A real detective would’ve figured it out, just saying.” Rooke shrugs. The Ace defective rolls his eyes.
“Why, Mr. Ando?! Why do you deny me?! Why don’t you believe I’m worthy of the treasure?! My entire life I have fought for this moment?! So tell me WHY?!” Mr. Conti is being all dramatic.
