Your point of view:

I sat on one of the chairs while Sachiko and the woman on the leash sat beside her, her eyes cold and downcast. "So, Ian Williams , what brings you here to my office ?, believe me I am quite happy to see you."she says , "thank you , but please tell me how come you know about me ?", I ask. She smiles and says, "I may have left Hyakkou physically but my mind and soul still lingers in that place, plus I personally requested the president to send you to invite me to the school's music festival as I was dying to meet you after the president told me about you. I and the president correspond with each other regularly you see.", she  says. "And why did you want to see me ?", I ask, even though I knew what the answer would be. "That's because you are the school's messiah now, after you beat one of the student council members and have now spread a strong force of anti- gambling within the school. So, I couldn't resist the urge inside me to meet an idealist such as yourself who now clashes against the president and her paradise.", she says and by the judgement of her voice's tone , I could tell she was angry and excited at the same time,,kind of like how Yumeko is when someone challenges her to a gamble, but with this woman however that feeling was now backed up by her authoritative and dominating nature, which makes her opponent feel like she is ten or maybe twenty leagues better than them.

"Well, I seriously never liked the messiah title that I acquired from the students but I do hate gambling as it only brings ruin to a person and I am not a huge fan of fame and fortune in general.", I say, "but you have the power to beat the system and that is what's interesting about you. You beat the student council and I have a strange premonition that there is more to you that meets the eye.", she says. I simply shrug and I say , "I don't know much about my capabilities myself but thanks for the compliment.", I say humbly.

In response she pulled out a deck of cards and handed it to the woman on the leash and she began shuffling it. I groaned inside , already knowing where this was going . "Curses.", I say in my mind because I finally understood what situation I had gotten myself into , Kirari has set me up in a gamble with her ex student council member , she must have told Sachiko here about me and must have altered the story which made this female here to challenge me to a gamble indirectly. Though on Kirari's part this was a move made in order to assess me since I beat Ikishima , one of her most insane gamblers and was able to emerge victorious with my life, so I already set my hold as a gambling genius, something that would have easily caught her attention and the type of person she likes, in general.So if Sachiko here is as good gambler as she is projected as and as per Saotome's information about her being the most dangerous and ruthless gambler in Hyakkou then I just landed myself in quite a pickle.

"So let's test ourselves shall we ?, me, Sachiko Juraku , the previous P.R manager of Hyakkou Academy's student council and enforcer of the president Monobami Kirari against Ian Williams, the messiah of Hyakkou. The game we will play is a simple game of Black Jack.", she says, with the air of a music artist set to take stage in a concert where there are thousands cheering for her. I looked at her , still contemplating how in the world I ended up in this situation and I just nodded in agreement. "So let's begin , shall we ?", she said , smiling.

*Timeskip*

The game was now in it's fifth round , Sachiko was leading with a sum of 84,000 💴 Yen which wasn't much, the cards were dealt and Sachiko won this round and was now in a debt of 168,000 💴 Yen. "Hmmm.", was all I could say, while Sachiko smirked and said, "you know , I'm unite disappointed with you, I thought you would be good but as of now you are just winning by luck..."

As she was talking , I looked at the dealer , who was just sitting with a stoic expression, her eyes like empty sockets , devoid of any emotion. Then I looked at Sachiko and asked her, "hey what's her deal ?"
