Sino also returned to the campus.
As soon as he returned to his dorm, Jaka and Yuro knocked on his door.
The two of them said they wanted to dominate with the new poker cards from Mitsukoshi.
Sino followed them to Sid's room.
Sid was also very interested in this.
"Do you have the skill to win all my money?" Sid asked with a charmingly evil smile.
Then, all of his small tricks were seen by Sino.
Various card-switching and cheating.
Sino didn't care; it was just for fun anyway.
Sino had nothing in excess except money.
Thousand-yuan bills were taken out one by one, as if they were worthless.
"Sino, what have you been up to to have so much money?!" Jaka complained.
"Milia gave it to me!"
"If we don't mention your perfect girlfriend Milia, we're still good friends!" Jaka said.
Sino also learned Sid's cheating moves quite well.
In the end, Sid won all of Jaka and Yuro's money.
But Sid didn't win much of Sino's money.
Jaka and Yuro left Sid's room.
Only Sino remained.
"Sid, how much money do you think it would take for you to be satisfied?!" Sino asked a strange question.
"I haven't thought about that question! Maybe I'll never be satisfied! Once a current goal is met, the next one will appear, and endless goals will emerge—that's what humans are like!" Sid said.
"Let's make a meaningless bet! If you win, these ten million in bills are yours!"
"If you lose, you have to do one thing for me unconditionally!"
"Alright!"
"Just draw three cards; the person with the higher hand wins."
Neither of them used any tricks or magic, and they drew three cards normally.
Sino revealed two cards first.
Six of Clubs, Seven of Diamonds.
Sid also revealed two cards: Seven of Clubs, Nine of Hearts.
Sino revealed his last card without looking.
Ten of Spades.
And Sid's last card was Two of Hearts.
Both had terrible hands, but Sino won with a slight advantage.
"You lost, but the money is yours!"
Sino handed a bundle of bills to Sid.
This was just a meaningless little game.
Sino simply wanted to compare his luck with Sid's to see who was luckier.
It turned out his luck was a bit better.
Returning to his room, Sino noticed a figure outside the window.
"It's Zeta, isn't it?!"
"Greetings, Master!"
Zeta said respectfully.
And handed Sino a gift box.
Inside the exquisite box was a fish.
A medium-sized mackerel.
"This is the best mackerel of the season!"
Sino reached out and stroked Zeta's head.
Zeta involuntarily showed a happy smile.
Sino used to go fishing with Zeta sometimes.
At that time, Zeta always caught fish, while Sino always came back empty-handed.
Fishing can calm one's heart.
Sino took her fishing hoping that Zeta could live in the present and not be constantly filled with hatred.
That would be very tiring.
With Sino's help, Zeta changed a lot, and like Delta, she loved to cling to Sino.
"How much do you know about the Sanctuary of the Magic Swordsman Academy?"
"The Diabolos Cult is very afraid of us entering; Diabolos the Demon's situation has somewhat exceeded The Order's expectations!"
"The diabolos of the past was like a dead fish, not interfering, not resisting, not cooperating, not denying, but now the body of diabolos is resisting The Diabolos Cult from extracting its essence."
"It seems Aurora is making her move!"
"Another student is about to enter the Sanctuary!" Zeta said.
"This aura… it's my sister, Claire!"
"Master, do you need me to intervene?"
"No need; my sister has Aurora within her, and I will act if necessary!"
Claire possessed a large amount of magic, and with Aurora controlling her, as long as Fenrir didn't make a move, no one else would be a match for Aurora.
Sino and Zeta arrived at an open field outside the academy.
Sino set up a barbecue grill, intending to barbecue the fish Zeta brought him.
"BOSS!"
Delta rushed over, shouting loudly.
Sino gave her a flick on the head.
"Keep your voice down at night!"
"Got it, BOSS!"
Delta said, feeling wronged.
At this moment, Delta saw the grilled fish.
"Is this a gift for Delta?"
Delta lunged towards the grilled fish.
But Zeta suddenly appeared and blocked Delta.
"That's not grilled fish for you; that's my fish for Master!" Zeta said.
"Stupid cat, do you want to fight?"
"Dumb dog, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Zeta and Delta were always at odds.
It was in their nature for cats and dogs not to get along.
Sino had disciplined Delta many times for this, but Delta couldn't remember.
Sino had no good solution for this.
Sino picked up the grilled fish, feeling it was cooked just right.
He sprinkled seasonings on it, ate the grilled fish, and watched Zeta and Delta fight with relish.
Zeta's strength was in no way inferior to Delta's.
The two went back and forth, and the battle was exceptionally fierce.
Milia appeared at this time, bringing a large amount of food.
Just barbecuing one fish was a bit meager.
Vegetables and various meats were all brought by Milia.
Milia skewered various dishes and prepared several barbecue grills to start cooking all at once.
After fighting for a while, Delta smelled the aroma and immediately ran to Sino.
She wagged her tail frantically.
"BOSS! I want to eat!"
"You can only eat if you apologize to Zeta!"
"Zeta, I'm sorry!" Delta immediately bowed to Zeta, then turned and knelt before Sino again.
Sino brought a lunchbox and had Milia prepare grilled meat for Delta!
The magic fluctuations here attracted Alexia.
The magic fluctuations from their battle were still quite significant.
But because it was outside the academy, only Princess Alexia and Beatrice perceived it.
As more people gathered, Sino immediately held an outdoor barbecue picnic.
Everyone ate together.
Alexia really wanted to refuse, but couldn't find a suitable reason, so she ultimately stayed.
Soon, everyone finished all the food they had brought.
Alexia noticed Zeta and Delta and suggested to Sino that she wanted to challenge Zeta and Delta.
"Challenging Delta is out of the question; Delta won't hold back. You can try challenging Zeta!"
As expected, Alexia was instantly defeated by Zeta.
This setback made Alexia cry.
After being defeated in one move, she immediately hugged Sino and sobbed.
"Master, why can't I defeat anyone?!"
"That's because you choose opponents who are stronger than you! Compared to your sister, you are already very strong now! Just keep working hard, and you will become a true powerhouse!"
