The same day as the previous chapter at the MPD's Prisoners Ward.
So, shall we start our little game? Usui said confidently.
Fine by me...But, the first turn to guess will be yours. Officer said coldly.
You seem to have a plan, I like that. Usui said sarcastically Fine, I'll take the first chance to guess. Usui said confidently.
That's more like it! I know that you're going to demand to use your own coin...So, give it now. Officer said authoritatively.
You seem to have a brain inside your skull...Seems like you're going to out up a good fight, Officer. Usui said confidently I am starting to get a liking of you as an opponent. Usui said confidently.
Usui pulls out the coin on his pocket and throws it towards the Officer.
Officer immediately catches it and checks the coin.
Hm, what are you doing? Usui asks expectantly.
I am just checking for some signs...I can't have you rigging up this coin to give you some advantages. Officer said coldly.
Hm, I like that... you've certainly piqued my interest, Officer! Usui said arrogantly Alright, if ever I've really rigged up the coin that you are holding as of this moment, will you be able to see it? Usui said sarcastically.
Remember, before I has been put in the Prisoners Ward as a guard...I have become a police officer at the MPD Headquarters, that's why it's just easy for me to figure it out. Officer said coldly.
Seems like you have finally met your best match, Sir Usui. Komachi said sarcastically.
Well, you could say that again. Usui said sarcastically.
"I knew it, my intuition told me to not use the rigged up coin. So, seems like it was just the right and the wisest choice right now...I don't know, but I feel like this man have the best chance of beating me unlike those people that I've gambled against before." Usui taught to himself, maintaining his composure.
This coin isn't rigged, let's go and start! Officer said authoritatively.
That's what I've been waiting for, Officer. Usui said confidently.
Officer tosses the coin and swiftly catches it.
Now, "Which Hand"? Officer said coldly.
Wait, I want to propose another rule... Let's just give each other 10 seconds for guessing if the player didn't state their guess in that 10 seconds timeframe then that's automatically a lose in their chance, let's make this game even more exciting, shall we? Usui said coldly.
Why all of a sudden? Officer asks expectantly.
Well, there's a saying that says "If you share your strategies on your enemies, it will be your Downfall." right? Usui said sarcastically.
You're good at this kind of thing, huh? Officer said sarcastically Fine, let's do that. Officer said coldly.
Great, you can toss the coin for the second time because I've interrupted the first tossing. Usui said coldly.
Alright, thank you for that! Officer said coldly.
Officer tosses the coin again and swiftly catches it.
Now, "Which Hand"? Officer asks expectantly Your 10 seconds starts now! Officer said authoritatively.

"Let's see, it's possible that he is holding the coin with his right hand. Why? It's because of the way his hand got closed...It would typically be like that if you are holding something with your hand." Usui taught to himself.

I'll be taking the right hand. Usui said coldly.
Officer stops the countdown.
Officer opens both of his hand.
That's 1-0, Officer. Usui said coldly.
"I knew it, he is adept at reading people. He interpreted it exactly just because I gave him a bit of a hint...That was just a test drive of your capability to read and deduce, you'll receive nothing like that again." Officer taught to himself.
Let's get right into my first chance to guess, Mr. Officer said authoritatively.
You're eager, that's what makes things even more interesting for the both of us. Usui said sarcastically.
Usui tosses the coin and swiftly catches it.
"Which Hand"? Usui asks expectantly Your 10 seconds begins at this moment. Usui said coldly.

"Alright, don't ever think that I didn't see that. You're doing some stunt now, huh? I'll try one next turn too." Officer taught to himself.

I'll take your right... right sleeve! Officer said confidently.
Oh, are you sure about that? Usui said sarcastically.
I know what I've seen you can't ever play with me. Officer said coldly.
If you are so certain then I'll be revealing it now. Usui said coldly.
Usui takes the coin on his right sleeve.
That's 1-1, Mr. Affluent. Officer said sarcastically.
"That's just a test drive, I know that he's good but to see such detail...his eye movements implied that he saw what I did. This goes beyond mere intuitive response even though he responded at almost the end of his time." Usui taught to himself.
It's my second turn now. Usui said coldly Let's see, if I've managed to win against you and you also managed to win against me in this second turn... We'll have a third turn for each other as a tie breaker. Usui said coldly.
Does that mean that you believe that I'll win my second turn too? Officer asks curiously.
Well, according to the sayings of you police officers..."We can't rule out all of the possibilities." Am I right? Usui said sarcastically.
Alright, let's start your second turn. Officer said coldly.
Much better, let's get this over with. Usui said confidently.
Officer tosses the coin and swiftly catches it.
Alright, "Which Hand"? Officer said coldly 10 seconds starts now. Officer said coldly.

"Wait, it's just for a split second of time...But, did I just saw a second coin? If that's really the case, he most likely used another coin. The one we're using is 10 yen coin...So, most likely he will use 5 yen coin. Okay, if that's true then he's most likely holding one coin each hand...That will make things harder for me, Officer... You're the most interesting gambler that I've ever come across to, we can't deny that fact. For now, I have to rely on my intuition." Usui taught to himself, still composed.

I'll pick the left hand. Usui said confidently.
"I'll bet 800 million yen that my intuition will lead me in the right answer." Usui taught to himself.
Unfortunately for you, Mr. Affluent. Officer said arrogantly.
Officer opens both of his hand.
You've used two 10 yen coins? You marked your own coin. Usui said coldly.
You've lost your round, Mr. Officer said coldly.
"So, this is how it feels to lose in a gambling. It feels good! Let's see, it just fuels my desire to not let you win in your own turn." Usui taught to himself, a big smile forming in his face.
How did I do it? Simple. Officer said coldly.
Usui cuts his words.
Those times that your hand is inside your pocket, that's where you started your preparations for this trick, right? Usui said coldly.
You're perceptive, I like that. Officer said coldly.
Let's just see if you win in your turn, that's the decisive factor. Usui said coldly And I certainly won't let you. Usui said confidently.
Alright then, let's start my turn. Officer said coldly.
Usui tosses the coin and swiftly catches it.
"Which Hand"? 10 seconds starts now. Usui said coldly.
"I'll bet 600 million yen that you will get it wrong." Usui taught to himself.

"Okay, based on what I've seen he certainly closed both of his hands in the location where the coins lands in center. That must only mean that the first hand to close is the one that is holding the coin, I like this trick! He's remaining calm and confident even though I am in the lead right now. Alright, let's try my hypothesis!" Officer taught to himself.

I'll get the left hand. Officer said coldly.
Wow, you managed to give me an answer on time. Usui said coldly.
Usui opens both of his hands.
The score is still 1-1, Sir. Usui said confidently.
I've lost my turn...So, that trick that you did... Officer said warily.
Right, I've closed both of my hand the time the coin reaches the center. Usui said coldly But, I intended to make a subtle hint of error...The time of closing my right hand, by altering a bit the time of closing my other hand... you'll definitely suspect that it would be the first hand to close because I managed to mess with your mind, so you'll pick the most obvious answer. Usui said confidently.
Wow, you really are good at this! Now, I feel so intense. Officer said enthusiastically.
The feeling is mutual. Usui said confidently.
"So, this is the thrill of being in the verge of losing. This is the first time that I've felt such adrenaline and fun! Let's do this, I want to see if I can win or not. I'll wager my life, that I'll be the one who will prevail here." Usui taught to himself.
"This boy is something else, this game certainly is starting to be fun!" Officer taught to himself.
Let's start our deciding factor turn! Usui and Officer said in unison.
"I don't know, this is the most unpredictable gamble that I have ever seen Sir Usui play. There's a high chance that he will lose at this point, this is nothing compared to the gambling against Katori and Don Romano." Komachi taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.
Officer tosses the coin and swiftly catches it.
"Which Hand"? 10 seconds is on! Officer said coldly.
"The moment is fast...He started with his hands both closed, I didn't even seen him open his hand because of the speed...So, this is how police officer play this game... There's certainly no second coin now, this just his pure skill and strategy. I don't know, but, for a second I saw his left hand close and then..." Usui taught to himself.

The left hand, i finally get what you did. Usui said confidently.
Hm, you're perceptive. Officer said coldly.
Officer opens both of his hands.
You catched the coin using your left and transferred it on your right. Usui said coldly I've won my turn. Usui said confidently.
It's time for my turn then, it's going to be the deciding factor. Officer said coldly Whether you win or we'll have another deciding factor round. Officer said coldly.
Right, let's start immediately. Usui said coldly.
Usui tosses the coin and swiftly catches it.
"Which Hand"? Usui said expectantly 10 seconds starts now. Usui said coldly.

"Alright, let's see. It's suspicious that he did the coin tossing near his coat...does that mean that it's inside his coat? It's still highly possible that it's in his right hand, the moment the coin falls into the center he immediately grabs and closes his hand...I don't know whether it's in his coat or in his right hand. I guess, I'll just leave everything in my intuition." Officer taught to himself.

I'll take the right hand! Officer said warily.
My strategy is effective so it seems. Usui said confidently It's in my coat. Usui said coldly.
Usui pulls out the coin inside his coat.
I've won the gamble, Sir. That just means that...Usui said coldly.
Yes, I need to fulfill the bet that I've made. Officer said coldly, letting out a sigh You're something else! Officer said enthusiastically.
So are you! Usui said enthusiastically.
I almost have a heart attack, Sir! What if you've lost that game?! Komachi said warily.
Well, I've won...So, there's no need to worry now...My dear Secretary. Usui said confidently.
Right... Komachi said shyly.
I'll arrange to the meeting immediately. But, I can grant you access to just one of them and for just 10 minutes. Officer said authoritatively.
That's more than enough, Sir. Usui said confidently Anyways, just a moment! Usui said coldly Komachi, give me the check. Usui said authoritatively.
Here, Sir. Komachi said coldly and gave the check and pen to Usui.
Okay, this is for you. Usui said sarcastically.
Usui writes something on the check and signs it.
Here, take it. Thank you for a good game, Officer. Usui said confidently.
20 million yen? Are you sure? Officer said warily.
Yes, I am. Usui said coldly.
Anyways, I'll just arrange things. Officer said coldly.
Officer left.
Are you sure about what you just did, Sir? He lost to you, right? Komachi asks curiously.
He deserves that...For giving me a great game. Usui said sincerely.
Anyways, are you ready to meet whoever prisoner it is? Komachi asks warily.
I am and I feel so excited about it. Usui said coldly.
