*Let's Rewind to the beginning*
I sat down on the chair for the newly acquired game table that sat before us, on the table there was a card dispenser that would hand us the cards in a standard 52 deck of cards though these were all the large sized card variant.
Though on the left side of our seats is where and arm restrainer was located, the restrainer was made of metal with several high voltage electrodes surrounding them with a device numbered 1 through 10.
Every time someone loses the round to the other, either by going bust or having the lower number of the two players that player is electrocuted as a result with 1 being 100 watts while 10 is 1000 watts.
'I convinced the big man to make this match more dangerous for you Hifumi, you can thank me later'
'…. Shinigami what are you talking about?' I was confused, but then again this is Shinigami after all so maybe I shouldn't be surprised with her random bullshit, but whatever.
I also felt my phone vibrate but I could look at it later, now I was focused getting this crazy girl off my back as I went over the rules.
The short and sweet of it is we get two cards with us each keeping one hidden from the other like the dealer would in a normal game of Blackjack and we keep hitting the button to give us more with each card dispenser having their own decks, loser gets electrocuted and the wattage goes up by 100 each time, and now it's just to see who can stay conscious the longest to keep playing, or in the worst case dying, well at least for her but I won't feel good if she ends up killing herself in this game.
I mean I don't have anything against her or anything but she wants to play such a life threatening game like this and won't stop bothering me then I will do it.
"Your round ends when you either bust or stop asking for cards, we both bust we both get electrocuted, or whoever is furthest from 21 or busts as a result." I say only to see her creepy as smile as she was breathing heavily as she stared at me.
"Enough! I know how blackjack is played! Let's get this game started already!" She said with a crazed look in her eyes.
'…. Okay never mind about what I said about her being like 3, it's more like she is a suicidal masochist than a genocidal sadist that 3 was…' I shook my head before hitting the button to start the game.
Soon enough the prongs came down and hovered over our arms before our cards were dispensed and we flipped one of our cards over.
I had a total of 14 while I could only see she had a 7 visible, luckily this game was smart and it knew who had what amount in cards and kept track but didn't reveal it unless one of us busts or we both bust, so she has anywhere between 8-17 on her side as I let her go first.
She pressed the hit button which sent out a card which was a 5 meaning she had at least 13 or more as she hasn't been shocked yet.
She hit it one more time but-
*BEEEEP!*
"AHHHHGHGHGHGGHGHGH!!!!" She cried out as she went bust and was electrocuted by the machine sending a hundred watts of electricity through her body for 20 seconds before it finally stopped as she leaned forward while trying to catch her breath.
But the match isn't over because if I don't win I'll get electrocuted as well and I needed a minimum of 17 before I can stay for my side, so I hit as well.
And luckily I got a 5 which gave me 19 to which I pressed the stay button and thus winning my match before feelers came out from the machine to take out cards as I heard the decks shuffle once more.
"You good?" I asked as she was still catching her breath as her side of the machine changed from 1 to 2 while mine stayed as one.
"Heheh…. You think this will take me down that easily?" She said before lifting up her face to show that same crazy smile as her face had a heavy blush as she kept panting.
"I'm just getting started!!!" She said before hitting the 'Hit' button to which the cards were sent out and a new round had started to which I looked at my hand as I had only 6 where I knew she had 10 already.
Seeing her cards she smiled, "Stay." She said as she hit the stay button ending her turn.
'She probably has 20 if she didn't hit again at the start of her match.' I think to myself as usually 21 would have you win automatically but if we both tie then no one gets shocked.
Seeing this I hit to which I got a 2 making me have 8 so I hit again and I got a 9 leading me to 17 but it wasn't enough.
I Preemptively began to work my spiral energy around my brain, heart and especially my crotch, to act as a protective barrier just in case as I hit the button and-
*BEEEEP!*
"GRRRRR!!!" I growl out as I feel the electricity coursing through my body and causing havoc on me before coming to a stop 20 seconds later.
I breath heavily to catch my breath as I get my thoughts in order, it sucks I can't use Haki in this situation as it would make my arm and the rest of my body less conductive but I can't exactly go and turn my body pitch black in front of her.
'Note to self, get Electric Resistance or Immunity, doesn't help that my bones still technically have their chrome in them making me even more electric conductive.' I think to myself as I pull myself together and start round three where the stakes are even higher.
Round after round we kept playing as the stakes began to get higher and higher with us both getting our fills of being electrocuted, though ultimately I was losing less as my meter landed on 5 with hers reaching 9 until-
*BEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!*
"GYAAAAAAAAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAAAAAAA!!!!!" She screamed out in pain as she began to foam from her mouth before her eye rolled up before falling forward onto the table as she fell completely unconscious.
*Clink Clink* then the restraints let us go as I got up before going to check her pulse to which it was there but clearly she was going to be out of it for the day.
"Yeah, I want nothing to do with you, time I go home, I wonder how Celestia's match went." I wondered as I stretched and headed on down stairs.
"Oh yeah I got some mail didn't I?" I said before pulling out my phone to look at it to only see an unknown sender and-
"M-Monokuma…..?" I said as I moved my glasses out of my way to rub my eyes and see if what I was seeing was right, to which I knew I wasn't hallucinating.
It even had a gift that I was supposed to open up, I looked at it with a pensive look for a second before deciding what to do next.
*Do you wish to Delete this Email?* Y/N?
*Yes*
*Email was successfully Deleted*
"Hooo…. Yeah I'm not dealing with that." I said before putting my phone away.
*Vrrt Vrrt* *You got Mail*
"..... Haaaa….. This isn't going away is it?" I mutter to myself before I continue my search for Celestia before making our way home.
