"so here is the story of how I became the LEGENDARY CARD MASTER!"
...
Sento was wrapping up his last class of the day.
As he stepped outside, he noticed it was already nighttime, around 7 PM.
He took out his phone as he walked and decided to pop into a convenience store to grab some ramen. While he was choosing a flavor, a group of robbers stormed the cashier and demanded money.
Curiosity got the better of Sento, and he peeked to see what was happening. Realizing the danger, he tried to back away and hide, but one of the robbers scanned the area for witnesses and spotted Sento.
With his heart racing, Sento raised his hands in surrender.
"Don't move!" the robber commanded.
Sento stood completely still, watching as another robber left the scene. He remained frozen in place. But when the first robber turned back and confronted him, Sento felt a rush of betrayal.
In that moment, Sento's life ended.
Then, with a jarring bang on the table, he jolted awake in his classroom. The noise had startled him into a standing position.
As he quickly gathered his bearings, he noticed the professor was human, and the topic on the blackboard was about wishes.
Next to him sat a nerdy classmate named Ben, who was also pondering about wishes.
The professor, noticing Sento had been dozing off, called out, "What are two key things needed for a wish?"
Sento blurted out, "A genie?"
The professor shouted back, "Merlin!!!"
Confused, Sento thought to himself, "What is going on?"
