<Daily Life of the Academy: Rock Paper Scissors>

Because they saw me being bribed by a lolita, Akishima made a pathetic proposal, a game used for fun.

"Rock paper scissors? What kind of game is that?" Aurora looked puzzled, putting on a face full of question marks.

"I've never heard of that game before." Sheeran made a puzzled expression, not knowing a child's game.

"Yes. That's right. A game used to draw lots. Whoever wins, he can do anything because he is a winner." Akishima gave an explanation of the game.

"Scissors beat paper, paper beat stone, and stone beat scissors. There is nothing unfair. It comes down to beginners and experienced."

"So, whoever wins, you can bribe Rivandy to your heart's content." After explaining, Akishima spread his hands, demonstrating the players playing rock-paper-scissors.

"I don't know much about that game. I think it's okay." Sheeran took the little boy's proposal for granted.

Aurora began to understand, starting to reply. "I can't lose and want to bribe Rivandy."

Akishima felt challenged, not wanting to be outdone by another girl. The competition intensified as their flames spread.

"Of course. We'll spend our provisions just for a prince like him." He pointed at me and opened his lunch.

"But, how do we determine the winner? There are four of us." Sheeran turned around, looking at Akishima for a moment.

"Use the knockout system. The losing participant drops out of the tournament immediately. The winning participant will advance to the next round and compete again until the final round. There is only one meeting to determine the champion."

The knockout system was an acceptable opinion. I was just thinking of using that system.

"Good idea. Now, I will decide this game." Akishima smiled wryly and intended to choose the participants before starting.

"I've already written it down. So, the first round, Akishima fights Aurora and Evelyn will fight Sheeran. Second round, you fight different people until the third round. Three rounds of suits. The one with two wins will advance to the finals."

I had written down all the knockout matches in my little book. So, the paper scissors match could only begin.

"Never mind. Let's just play." Without further ado, Akishima immediately started the match.

In the first match, Akishima faced Aurora and Sheeran faced Evelyn. Their gazes were willing to clash as their hands prepared to start the game.
