Unspeakable bubbles

"But class is about to start."

The little girl scratched her head: "Skipping class is not good. Bubble thinks everyone should go back to class first."

"Did you hear that! What are all these people doing crowding here? If you want to compete with Bubble, you need to make an appointment with me first."

Reiko frowned; she had already spotted several troublesome individuals in the crowd.

She could usually control most students, but these people? Even if she could only retreat to advance...

"Reservation? So many people want to compete with Bubble, when will it be my turn!"

"Idiot, why don't you add some prize money?"

At that moment, Petty slowly walked out of the classroom.

"Want to have a contest with Bubble? Sure!"

"Whoever has the bigger prize goes first."

"What kind of prize?"

Seeing the puzzled looks on many people's faces, Petty revealed a cunning smile.

"We're not children anymore, do we really need to make things so clear?"

"Hehehe, what's the point of just playing rock-paper-scissors? Let's have some points as stakes... wouldn't that be more exciting?"

"You want to organize gambling?!"

Reiko's eyes widened immediately: "I will never allow such morally corrupting behavior!"

"Oh dear, look at you, you're saying such awful things again."

Patty picked at her ear: "Rock, paper, scissors is a complex subject. What's wrong with them paying tuition to learn from Bubble?"

"Humph"

Reiko snorted coldly, clearly not accepting Petty's explanation.

"Don't rush to criticize me, President. Given the current situation, do you have a better solution?"

"..."

Reiko was speechless for a moment. Looking at the students who had suddenly fallen silent, a thought suddenly struck her.

"Grant, I'm asking you, why did something that happened just yesterday suddenly become the talk of the entire campus today?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!"

Patty grinned: "President, please make a decision as soon as possible, Teacher Emma is coming soon."

"This is Emma's first official class for us. You don't want her to lose face, do you?"

"..."

Seeing Reiko's troubled expression, Patty felt she had finally gotten her revenge.

'You dare threaten me? Humph, if I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think I'm easy to bully.'

Section 441, Chapter 440: The Meeting

"Hehehe, let me confirm one more time, Grant, you can pay for Bubble's points first, okay?"

During lunch break, a bespectacled man with a gloomy face was making a final check.

"Not bad, but it's you..."

Petty looked the guy up and down. She tried to recall which club president matched him.

"You're not the club president, where did you get 10,000 points?"

"Of course I can't come up with that much. In fact, I only had 100 points on my card this morning."

"Oh?"

Petty looked thoughtful: "What exactly is your ability to find so many sponsors?"

"..."

The bespectacled man felt a little uncomfortable after being seen through by Petty.

He subconsciously touched his nose: "Haha, the sponsors are actually all my classmates."

"I've always had bad luck; I've never won at any game."

"Coincidentally, the rumors about Bubble reached our class this morning, so..."

"So your classmates pushed you out to make a quick buck?"

"Hehe, well, that's how it is," the bespectacled man said, quite embarrassed.

"Oh~"

Petty drawled out his reply, then turned to the little girl and said, "Bubble, I've suddenly thought of a way to make a fortune."

"what?"

"Bubble, you don't have that many points? No problem, I'll pay for it for you!"

"If Bubble loses, then let's not talk about anything. But if you win..."

Petty held up one finger: "I want a one-tenth cut of the points I win."

"Okay."

Without much thought, the girl nodded.

"Petty, you've worked very hard as a referee all this time, so you can decide how many points to take."

Upon hearing this, Petty couldn't help but whistle.

"Haha, Bubble, you're so generous."

"I have a feeling we're going to make a fortune this time!"

"Grant!"

Reiko, who had been observing coldly, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She glared at Patty and said angrily, "Did you plan this all along?"

"Huh? Oh, it's not good to keep this loser waiting. Come on, both of you get ready, it's about to begin."

Reiko was about to speak when the people in line behind her immediately objected.

"President, we have no objections, why are you worrying about this?"

"Don't waste any more time. If we wait any longer, it will be too late for me at noon."

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's start the game!"

Seeing that the crowd was about to get out of control again, Reiko had no choice but to shut her mouth.

"Hmph, that annoying guy shut up, so three, two, one!"

"Bubble player picked a rock, loser player, hahaha, it really is a rock!"

"what?"

The bespectacled man was startled. Ignoring Patty's scornful cries, he quickly asked, "There are three rounds in total. As long as one round isn't a draw, I win, right?"

"That's right, you already asked three times before the competition, why are you asking again now?"

"Just, just asking, to confirm again."

The bespectacled man felt uneasy; he had a bad feeling.

'Is it possible that even exploiting loopholes won't work? Losing actually allows me to win points; in fact, I wanted to lose.'

'But, precisely because I wanted to lose, this is the result?'

"Yiping, both players, get ready. Round two begins."

"Scissors, scissors, flat!"

"Final round, three, two, one!"

"..."

"........."

Looking at his own fist and then at the little girl's tightly clenched right fist, the bespectacled man's face fell.

"Yay, Bubble, we won!"

Petty was beaming. In just a few minutes, he had earned a thousand points, and he was the first person to do so!

"Next one, who's next? Come on, come on."

"Grant, my friend."

The bespectacled man stammered, "Could you let me and Bubble have another match?"

"But you've already finished the competition. Oh, do you still have points?"

Patty rubbed her hands together: "You should have said so earlier..."

"I... I'm out of points."

The bespectacled man said dryly, "I've lost all 100 points of my own, and I don't have a single point left."

"Then what are you still doing standing here? Go away, go away."

"Uh, I, I'm thinking, maybe I actually wanted to lose, which is why we ended up with three draws."

The bespectacled man added, "I've lost all my points, and I really want to win."

"If we had played a few more rounds, the outcome might have been different!"

The next contestant, who was already impatient and about to kick people out, was stunned when he heard his words.

"Are you serious? If so, it's okay if I wait for you."

"Interesting! Let's see how unlucky you are!"

"Let's have another round, let's compete again!"
