Chapter 467 44. Dice Classroom and Tiger Skin Phone
A good class is like a rain. The feeling it can evoke in the audience is not the actual scene of watching the rain, but the actual feeling of being drenched by the rain.

In the KKIS forum, some students have expressed that when taking Kondo's ethics class, they felt an oppressive feeling as if they were being swept to the ground by an oncoming wave.

When they are overwhelmed and suffocated by the torrent of information woven by Kondo, Kondo will use one or two popular examples related to reality to bring them to the surface safely.

Unfortunately, not many people know the value of KKIS.

Most of the audience had no idea that they were getting wet in the rain, and they had already put up umbrellas in front of their eardrums. Facing these umbrella holders, even the best classes would become meaningless one-man shows, just like those that read from a script.

Most of those who stayed in the classroom and were willing to listen to an entire ethics class were just interested in Asama as a person.

Early in the morning, after receiving a notice for a series of classes from his group leader, Mr. Kono, Asana carried a suitcase full of banknotes and played a probability experiment with the students in Class 7 of Grade .

As long as everyone rolls the dice three times in a row and gets the same number, they can receive 10 yen.

They can continue to roll the dice and get paid, or they can use the 10 yen as a registration fee to play a dice duel with Asama.

Those who form a group to take on the challenge will not only have additional opportunities twice the number of group members, but their benefits and risks will also increase accordingly.

If they can beat Asama, they will get a bonus of 1000 million (if they form a team, they can get a bonus multiplied by the number of people); if they lose, they can either give Asama another 10 (for a team challenge, each person has to pay 10 times twice the number of team members), or sign their name on the blank space on the last page of Asama's elective course application form.

Some people kept rolling the dice and received a maximum of 50 yen in two whole classes; some people lost again and again in front of Asana and signed the IOU in humiliation; more people chose to sign on Asana's elective course application form.

Asama collected all 50 signatures within one class. He could snap his fingers well and his fingers were very flexible, so his ability to win every time he threw the dice could only be considered a small test of his skills.

Of course, there are only 7 people in Class 9 of Grade 30. The reason why so many signatures were obtained is that nearly 7 auditors who did not belong to Class 6 of Grade 8 appeared in this classroom from the very beginning. After Asama opened the gambling game, students from Class and Class of Grade next to the classroom also skipped classes and lined up to roll the dice, pay money and sign.

After smashing three decks of dice and finding no trace of lead, no one doubted that Kondo Shinichiro was a terrible gambler.

At the end of the class, Asama spent 30 minutes briefly explaining to these losers the [Demere Dice Problem] that inspired the two great mathematicians Pascal and Fermat to propose expected value and probability theory, the game theory story of [Pirates Dividing the Gold], and the [Law of Large Numbers] that crushed the [Martingale System] and ensured the dealer's victory.

This unprecedented gambling experience made these habitual truants helpless against Asana's staying after class too late, and knowledge was also written into their unenterprising minds in a despicable way.

“Victory in gambling cannot be directly equated with luck. Gambling without thinking is a suicidal act of mythifying luck. Those who have watched the movie “21” must know that giving up myths and superstitions and returning to rational calculations is the key to victory and the opportunity for the birth of philosophy.

In the next class, I will use another gambling game to introduce you to logos and sophists, as well as psychological warfare in ordinary gambling games. "

After going around in circles, Asana finally returned to the class content planned in the syllabus.

In addition to the class "What is Ethics Class" taught in Class 10 of Year 9, Asana chose three different entry points to teach the same class "The Birth of Ancient Greek Philosophy" in the other three classes. Class 8 used the entry point of [Ancient Greek Philosophical Thoughts that Influenced the World], Class 7 talked about [Ancient Greek Philosophy and the Symbolic Discussion of the Origin of the World], and Class talked about [Ancient Greek Philosophy and Reason (Logos)].

The teaching entry points for the first two classes were randomly generated according to the questions asked, but for this series of classes for Class 7 of Grade , Asana was well prepared.

When Asama was packing up and preparing to leave, Kuriyama, a junior cadre of Class 7- under [KID], stopped him.
"Don't leave yet, Kondo. I just want to know, how did you manage to win them all?"

Asama simply pointed to the "Law of Large Numbers" on the blackboard.

"You obviously weren't paying attention, because my training volume makes me a [large number]. If you are willing to take shared risks and form a team with enough people, or if you put enough effort into rolling the dice, then you will definitely be able to beat me."

Kuriyama put down his hand and thought about the strategy for the next gambling game - if all the risks of losing were borne by the [human-pigs], it would not matter if they lost unexpectedly. As long as he collected enough [human-pigs], the [big number] would come to his side.

"Mr. Kondo, next week's class is about psychological warfare. Could it be Texas Hold'em?"

"It must be Russian roulette! Bang, bang!"

"Teacher Kondo, the ethics class this afternoon is in our class 6, right? Let's have another gamble this afternoon!"

"Teacher Kondo, I must win the money back in the next round!!!"

"Is there gambling in the elective class? I heard there was a lucky draw yesterday!"

"You've lost so many times, and you still believe in the lottery? I think you must be the [unlucky one in KKIS]."

"Mr. Kondo, how about I take you to a nice place this weekend? You'll definitely have a blast there."

The students, still unsatisfied, followed Asana all the way to the teachers' office building before gradually dispersing.

The other teachers who had returned from lunch could not help but look at this strange sight with astonishment.

Accordingly, Asama was soon reported - someone complained that he openly gambled for profit in class, and at the same time started an unhealthy trend of dice gambling on the KKIS campus.

Asama was not sure who filed the complaint, but it was most likely not someone from the fraternity, because these people were still hoping to get some benefits from Asama through various gambling games. After all, if the fraternity really opposed this matter, Asama would definitely receive an astronomical fine.

Before he had time to eat lunch, Asana was invited to the principal's office by Principal Sakon, where he explained his teaching methods and goals to the student union's rotating president Ariaki Yamagata, several KKIS school directors online, and others.

Various interrogations made Asama feel that his character of "exploding gold coins" had little appeal to the management of KKIS. The ultimatum to expel him from KKIS would be delivered to him before the end of this meeting.

Asama seized on the words "gambling prohibited" in the question and launched a counterattack.

"Strange, why didn't you stand up when other classes and teachers were playing gambling games? When I made a bet with Sawano from Class 10, you didn't stop me? How about calling Sawano over and stopping the bet? Well, according to the agreement, if this kind of accident happens, Sawano has to pay me 1000 million."

"Teacher Kondo, KKIS will never allow such unreasonable things as [students paying teachers] to happen."

"I see. What you mean is that in KKIS, only these little brats are allowed to gamble and blackmail teachers, right?"

"Mr. Kondo, don't make random statements without evidence."

Ariaki Yamagata, who was sitting next to the principal, narrowed his eyes and looked at Asama with a dangerous look.

"We should be concerned about and correct students' behavior, not be petty and plot revenge. Mr. Kondo, we understand that you did take money from students, which is not in line with our school rules and is against teacher ethics."

The Sound Only director who had been questioning Asama continued to speak.

"Let me make it clear that I didn't charge any students a penny."

"Didn't you ask a few students to sign IOUs this morning? IOUs are equivalent to money."

Qian Jian smiled and took out the IOU.

"You guys are here to accuse me without knowing the truth, right?"

The terms on the IOU clearly stated: [I owe a favor to Shinichiro Kondo].

Yamagata looked at the wide space between the terms and the context and realized that Asana had done something tricky with the IOU.

The principal's office was silent for a long time. Principal Sakon smiled gently and said,

"We know that you are a very talented young teacher, Mr. Kondo, but we hope that your teaching method can be more traditional. This will also reduce your teaching burden, right?"

"Principal Sakon, the tradition you are talking about is to write on the blackboard in silence, not caring whether the students listen or not, and just be a salary thief, right? Sorry, that goes against my principles as a people's teacher."

Sound Only continued,

"Your actions will bring bad reputation to our KKIS."

Qianjian laughed again.
"Reputation? You asked the teachers to sign such a thick confidentiality agreement. How would the outside world know how classes are actually taught at KKIS? If there is a bad reputation, it can only be leaked by the students. Why don't you ask the students to sign a confidentiality agreement? Don't you agree, Principal Sakon?"

In fact, Asama has confirmed that KKIS and students' parents have also signed various confidentiality agreements.

The principal Zuo Jin evaded the question and said,
"Teacher Kondo is joking. We have always believed in all students, and the school's good reputation requires all of us to work together to maintain it."

Seeing Asama's fearless appearance, Principal Sakon began to doubt Kondo Shinichiro's background as a member of the Ikeda faction of the Kujo family. KKIS teachers can be roughly divided into three types: those who know the times; those who keep a low profile and act humble; and those who are harmless and like to do things like carving wood and clay sculptures. Even the teachers who had problems before all pretended to be one of the above three types. Teachers other than these three types generally cannot even pass the first round of interviews at KKIS.

Is this person really the one sent by Ikeda to investigate KKIS?
Judging from his actions, it is impossible for him to be trusted by Ikeda.

However, judging from his vigilance in removing all the cameras in the dormitory on the first day, his identity as an investigator was undoubtedly confirmed.

Which normal teacher would be so defensive?

[KID]'s Ariaki Yamagata also made it clear that there was definitely something wrong with Shinichiro Kondo.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

Principal Sakon was already thinking in his mind which one would be cheaper: using students to get rid of him on campus or creating an accident outside the school to get rid of him.

Asama sighed, feeling a hint of malice.

"If you are really dissatisfied with my teaching, just fire me. I don't mind. To be honest, it is quite miraculous that KKIS has not closed down despite its poor teaching. There are not many forces in this world that can deflect the hand of the market economy."

Asama leaned back comfortably on the soft sofa and continued,
"It's your business to fire me, but it's my business to be unhappy. If I'm unhappy, I will definitely make you unhappy too."

Didn’t you just say it doesn’t matter?

Asana's remarks caused several people in the principal's office to look sideways.

In front of everyone, Asama made a call on speakerphone. After 6 beeps, the call was connected.

"This is the special line for Master Kujo. Who is this?"

"Kondo Shinichiro, let old man Kujo answer the phone."

"Kujo-sama is taking a lunch break. If you have anything to say, please leave a message and I will pass it on to Kujo-sama today."

"Just tell him that Shinichiro Kondo wants to talk to him and let the old man answer the phone."

".Okay, please wait a moment."

There was an eerie silence in the principal's office.

If this phone call is genuine, it means that this investigator named [Shinichiro Kondo] was sent by the head of the Kujo family.

What does this mean? This is different from Alice Kujo investigating KKIS, which means that the Kujo family no longer needs KKIS.

But what kind of investigator would dare to speak to the head of the Kujo family in this tone?

Or is this Lord Jiujo the other Jiujo?

Unfortunately, the voice coming from the other end of the phone shattered the fantasies of some people, as they knew the voice of Jiujiao Meicheng.

"What do you want me for?"

"KKIS is such a shabby place, I can't stay there for even a day."

"Oh, you've only been here for a few days? I've known for a long time that your father loves to brag. It seems that you are not as smart as he claims, and your so-called perseverance is not worth mentioning."

"I have emphasized many times that he is not my father. My father's last name is not Kondo."

The other end of the line was silent for less than a second, and then the head of the Kujo family laughed mockingly.

"If you don't want to stay, give up as soon as possible. Also, return my 1 million US dollars to me, and let your father..."

"Wait a minute, I can't admit defeat. How about a deal? I'll return you 5000 million, and you'll replace the principal of KKIS for me. I'll be your principal, and if KKIS's operating profit increases by 10%, I'll get 2%."

"Oh, either take the money to teach, or give it back and admit defeat. Stop thinking crookedly. Next time you call me, don't call me during the day, don't use the speakerphone, and don't push me around."

After the other end said this, the call was hung up.

The principal's office fell silent again.

Everyone's eyes were on Kondo Shinichiro, who was rude to the head of the Kujo family.

Even Yamagata Ariaki, who thought he was the best in facial expression management among the Four Elements, showed a look of surprise.

The conversation contained so much information that their heads were spinning and they couldn't think clearly about the answer.

Is there any big shot in Japan named Kondo? Or is it just a pseudonym?
Who would let his own son teach and let the head of the Kujo family pay out 1 million US dollars for gambling?

The son of this big shot dares to call the head of the Kujo family [Old Man Kujo], but this son does not acknowledge that the big shot is his father?
When did the Jiujo family head's temper become so good? When did the Jiujo family head's hotline become so easy to call?
What kind of investigator is qualified to speak to the head of the Kujo family like this?
At the beginning, he tried his best to distance himself from the Kujo family and would rather play coward in front of a group of naughty kids. Was he trying to hide his identity?
Even though they have climbed to a position that 99.99% of the people in this country cannot reach, they still cannot understand what the people who truly stand at the pinnacle of national power and wealth are thinking.

But they also had something they wanted to figure out - they found out all at once the reasons why this young master Kondo had such a unique temperament, special hobbies, erudition, rebelliousness, and generosity!

A sigh interrupted their chaotic thoughts.

The mysterious Kondo Shinichiro let out a long breath, then started laughing neurotically, covering his face.

"I wanted to use this as a tool to kill off the prestige of you bastards, but now I've become a clown. But don't be too happy too soon. If you make me lose this bet or leak any information, I will make it difficult for all of you. In return, if you let me finish teaching you quietly for these three years, I will give you 5000 million dollars."

As soon as Asana finished speaking, he heard heavy breathing.

"Master, don't worry. We will make your life happier than that of a god in the next three years."

Sound Only, who spoke the most, spoke in a disgustingly flattering voice with a pinched throat. He even omitted the uncertain last name [Kondo] to avoid suspicion.

I’m not sure if he is the lowest-ranking member of the school board, but he is definitely the most shameless.

Others also echoed and apologized, as if the previous criticism was just a joke.

Even Principal Sakon, who had just been threatened by Asama to have his position as principal removed, put on a more friendly smile and called the Academic Affairs Office, asking them to bring [Teacher Kondo's contract] over and redraft a new contract.

Her back was covered in cold sweat. Just a few minutes ago, she had even had the delusion of harming this young master.

Ariaki Yamagata beside her felt as if he had caught a prophet while catching a werewolf.

It turns out that the intuitive judgment that [there is something wrong with this person’s identity] is this problem?
Kondo Shinichiro's undisguised contempt for everyone made Yamagata Ariaki feel extremely unwilling.

Yes, based on the family status of the Yamagata family alone, it is impossible to give him such power.

Trapped in such a small corner of Japan, it is difficult to transcend the control of the Five Cameras.

And those Japanese who left their homeland and lived in the United States, after becoming rich, could be compared with the Five Regents.
Considering Kondo Shinichiro's American background, Ariaki Yamagata, the fraternity president who handled many black brokerage affairs, suddenly felt a desire to try his luck on the other side of the ocean.

"President Yamagata, Chairman Yamagata."

Ariaki Yamagata was patted on the shoulder by Principal Sakon and woke up from his dream. He followed the Principal Sakon's gaze and looked at Shinichiro Kondo, whom he envied.

"Chairman Yamagata, I am in KKIS, is gambling legal?"
