The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Blind Betting

The venue was packed to the teeth.

Apparently, unlike the mechanics, who only had one crazy freshman examinee, it was the complete opposite for the mecha pilots.

This was their ticket to getting their dream military careers, and almost no one wouldn’t jump on the chance to get a headstart.

"Isn’t the exam virtual? How come there are so many spectators? Will they be able to watch our exam too?" Luca was wondering why there were so many people in the stands, considering the type of exam they’d be having.

"Yeah, but exams would be projected here, and I heard it was common to have small bets placed on the examinees." Ollie shrugged as he explained, and Luca was curious about this betting.

"Are they betting with money?" Luca whispered like he was talking about something from the underbelly of the society.

Now, Ollie realized why Luca was suddenly being hush-hush about things. Was his brother interested in betting?

You bet he was.

At first, he wanted to protect his money, but when his ears caught a few loose words from the people who won big in the past years, Luca’s heart trembled.

Was it possible to get back the money that Ollie paid for when he took the exam?

Luca considered his options after looking at the betting board before eyeing his companions.

Xavier noticed the little chipmunk’s intense gaze and gave up pretending not to notice.

"Yes? What is it?"

"Xavier, you’re going to pass, right?"

"Mn." Xavier could only offer a curious agreement and wondered if the chipmunk had doubts about his abilities for him to be asking like this.

Then Luca looked around before asking Xavier to lean closer.

"Can you win first place?" Luca asked with shifty eyes, hoping that people wouldn’t hear his plans.

"First? Why?" That was surprising. Why was he asking about First place?

Luca nodded before confessing, "I wanted to bet on you getting the first place."

"Oh?" Xavier was surprised that the little penny pincher was open to the idea of betting.

"You sure you want to bet when there’s always a risk?" Xavier verified in case this one missed the main point.

"I don’t want to risk it, so I’m asking if you could win first place." Luca’s eyes were clear, and he was dead serious.

Kyle, who had no choice but to overhear everything, wondered how it was even possible to ascertain such an outcome by merely asking a question.

What if Luca asked other idiots who thought they were big shots? They would likely tell him that they would definitely take first place and then lose him his hard-earned money.

Thankfully, he asked their Captain.

Because he definitely could.

Now the problem was, would the Captain start his lecture about the disasters of gambling? Kyle was slightly nervous as he watched out for arguments while deciding to follow Jax’s betting streak, as always.

His personal wealth was practically earned this way. Trust Jax to make the weirdest yet most accurate predictions. Just don’t ask why, or you’ll likely scare yourself with his ’logic.’

Kyle was telling himself this as he added 1 million Star coins under Luca’s name, as Jax had done.

Just close your eyes and click.

Now, Ollie, with his gossipy senses, saw just what Kyle and Jax were doing and felt that these two were such supportive people who knew how to recognize greatness.

Maybe this mushroom wasn’t too bad after all. Ollie thought this as he changed their classification after seeing them vote right away for his best brother.

Such good people with good senses. Ollie thought as he himself placed 10 million as a bet for Luca to enter the top 10.

In pain.

Yeah.

"Then put in 100 million, and I will win it for you." Xavier decided that if he was going to do this, he should at least be worth the risk of 100 million. _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
