A New Challenger Approaches
@atxyuki
He didn’t know how he had gotten himself in this situation. Perhaps it was more karma from his past finally getting in the blows he was owed? Or maybe it was just some odd glitch in the simulation that just so happened to work in his favor. Either way, for the first time since he had slipped away from the dishonest world of underground gambling, Dohyun found himself being challenged to a card game. It was inevitable, and he had known that sooner or later, he was going to personally be challenged to something of that nature; but he didn’t expect it to happen so soon
Things like this used to happen all the time, and he had grown used to humoring his opponents until he felt he’d milked them out of enough cash. However, all of those other challenges had come from people who were clueless about his ability. They accused him of counting cards, hiding cards, and other forms of cheating, not knowing that he had the power of probability on his side; which was what made this challenge especially interesting. After a few days at the academy, everyone eventually grew more aware of each other’s powers, so even if this challenger didn’t know the exact mechanics of it, they still knew enough about his power to boldly challenge him. It was interesting, but still put him on edge.
Oddly enough, the challenge had come to him while he was trying to finish up his sandwich at lunch. He had been making small talk with some of the other people at his table in an effort to appear more sociable when he first heard the aggressive proposal.
With a raised brow, he quickly trained his eyes towards his challenger, someone who was clearly younger than he was. “You sure about that? Like are you actually sure you want to challenge me?” He crossed his arms and smirked. “Name your game kiddo. Fair warning, I’m not responsible for any injuries to your pride.”
