Casino

Although Nakiri managed to swallow the steak she ate at the buffet yesterday, she didn't want to suffer in her stomach, so this morning she took the three of them straight to the most expensive restaurant on the ship. The head chef there happened to be from Nakiri's family, a chef trained by the Totsuki Group. Upon seeing Nakiri, the chef immediately recognized her and personally prepared a sumptuous meal for Nakiri, just to get a few comments from her.

Afterwards, he offered to show Nakiri others around the ship's various facilities. On the way, they passed the buffet restaurant and happened to witness that scene.

The group sat in a row, and after listening to Nakiri's concise explanation, Kaminari hesitated before saying, "Secretary Nakiri, is it alright? This matter originally had nothing to do with you, isn't it a bit inappropriate to involve you?"

Nakiri shook her head. "That person dared to call U.A. High School. a useless school, and you future Pro Hero useless. As a classmate, I can't tolerate such humiliation." If even the people in the Hero Course are useless, then what is she?

The supervisor was a mature man with short white hair, whose chef's uniform made him look incredibly capable. He said with some surprise, "Are you two students from the U.A. High School. Hero Course? That's quite unexpected. Logically speaking, interns like you should be treated well."

Kaminari smiled wryly, "Well, we forgot about that. The hiring manager did give us preferential treatment, but we just forgot about it."

"In short, this matter is now over. Now that he's a kitchen helper, he shouldn't have the mind or the ability to deal with you. Mirko." Jilan finished the coffee that Kaminari had just Kaminari, stood up and said, "Secretary Nakiri, thank you for your help. I think the two of them will be grateful to you too."

Minoru Mineta nodded frantically, "Secretary Nakiri, thanks to you this time! From today onwards, you're my goddess!"

"Hey, how many goddesses do you have now?" Kaminari coldly, looking at Minoru Mineta.

"It was just something I did on the spur of the moment, don't worry about it," Nakiri a smile.

The manager then stood up, looked around, and suggested, "Gentlemen, to make up for the unpleasant experience you had, if you don't mind, I'll be your tour guide today."

His gaze finally settled on Jilan and Shiozaki. He had originally intended to be a tour Nakiri for Jilan and Shiozaki others, and this invitation was clearly directed at these two guests.

Jilan didn't mind. He had nothing else to do during the day besides observing, so having a guide made things easier.

Jilan looked at Shiozaki and, seeing her silently nod, smiled and replied, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Kaminari suddenly remembered he still had work to do, and said with a wry smile, "We still have work to do, let's meet up again this afternoon."

The supervisor then looked at Kaminari and Minoru Mineta. "Your work was probably assigned to you by that person earlier, right? I'm sorry to have humiliated the heroes from U.A. High School. As compensation, you two don't need to do any work for the rest of the journey."

No more work? Does this mean we're both fired?!

Seeing the doubt on Kaminari and the other man's faces, the supervisor added, "The salary will still be paid. 35xs"

"Yay!" Kaminari and Mineta cheered and high-fived.

It's so great to be able to do things with so many beautiful girls!

That evening.

"Jilan, are you going out?" Ibara Shiozaki rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion.

Standing in the shadows of the room, Jilan said to Ibara Shiozaki in a calm tone, "Ah, that's right. I didn't have enough fun during the day. I'll go out and play for a while longer."

Ibara Shiozaki didn't ask any more questions and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed.

Ibara Shiozaki's Quirk Vines, while granting her plant-like abilities, also instilled in her plant-like sleep patterns, making her increasingly sleepy at night when there is no sunlight.

"Goodnight," Jilan whispered to Ibara Shiozaki, then opened the door with a click.

The hallway lights illuminated Jilan's figure; it was the silhouette of a man wearing a Western cowboy hat.

At the entrance of the casino.

A man in a waiter's uniform stopped Jilan and politely said, "Hello sir, you need to be checked to enter and exit the casino. Could you please come this way?"

"Haha, of course!" A hearty, gruff voice came from Jilan. "I'm a law-abiding citizen, why would I refuse a body search!"

"That's good." Before the waiter could even breathe a sigh of relief, Jilan continued with a smile, "But I can't wait to go in and win some money. If you dare waste too much of my time, I'll send you to meet your maker right now!"

"Well, our examination will be quick and won't take up too much of your time, sir." The waiter wiped the sweat from his face with a handkerchief. Fortunately, this old gentleman was quite easy to talk to; many people would even refuse the examination outright and turn away immediately.

However, in this Quirk society, checks are necessary to prevent cheating, even if the number of gamblers has decreased significantly, it is still a necessary step.

Jilan followed the waiter into a small room where there was a machine that looked like it could check height and weight, and in front of it was a device that looked like a camera on a tripod.

"Sir, you need to stand on this machine." The waiter guided Jilan to the machine and helped him stand on it.

"Sir, could you please give me your boarding pass temporarily?" the waiter asked after Jilan obediently stood on it.

"Of course, no problem!" Jilan said, handing him the card while speaking in a fluent British accent, her words tumbling out incoherently. "Cool! Is this for checking diabetes? My blood sugar is a bit high, and the doctor told me to eat more sugary foods so I can see my grandfather, who passed away many years ago, sooner."

"Sir, this is to detect your approximate Quirk," the waiter explained. "To prevent anyone from cheating using their Quirk, we need to use this machine to detect everyone's Quirk type. If it's Alien Type or Enhancement Type Quirk, you can enter directly, but if it's Superpower Type..."

"So what if he 'Superpower Type? Are you going to bar him from entering, or are you going to send someone to follow him to prevent cheating?" Jilan asked with interest.

The waiter quickly shook his head and explained, "No, no, sir, you misunderstand. If someone has Superpower Type, they only need to demonstrate their power here. If it's unrelated to gambling, they can enter the casino directly. Even if Quirk that can influence the balance of the game like X-ray vision, they just need to sign an agreement and wear a bracelet that can detect Quirk activation, and there won't be any problem."

Gambling is a game of luck, courage, and skill. If someone's Quirk can influence the balance of gambling and is frequently used in the game, then the game loses its value. To convince gamblers that it's a fair game and that they only lost due to bad luck, casinos have invested heavily in importing machines from iisnd Island that can determine the type of Quirk a player has, as well as bracelets that can detect whether Quirk is activated.

During the ship's tour earlier today, the supervisor specifically mentioned that if you want to gamble in a casino, you absolutely cannot use your Quirk, as that kind of cheating would put you in danger.

"What will happen if someone cheats?" Kaminari curiously.

"Each casino has its own rules, and the specifics depend on the whims of each casino's regulator," the supervisor replied.

"What happens if someone cheats?" Jilan asked curiously.

The waiter gave a wry smile. "Sir, I advise you to play honestly for a while. If you cheat, your hand will be chopped off in front of everyone, and if the offense is serious..."

He didn't say anything more, but Jilan understood; it probably meant throwing it into the sea to feed the sharks.

"Has no one reported it?"

The waiter said meaningfully, "Sir, this is international waters. If something unfortunate happens, no one will seek justice for them."
