One on One

"What are you laughing about?" Emma frowned in irritation. "The Giant Pegasi has only one mecha left while the Black Salamanders still have six! Six better pilots against a single weak pilot in a heavy mecha. Deng Da Jun has no chance at all!" Emma proclaimed confidently.

"Yeah? You're very confident aren't you?"

"Very. Da Jun has no chance at all."

"Why don't we raise the stakes then? If you dare." I taunted her provocatively.

"Sure! If you're so willing to give me all your future academy credits, I am happy to receive them all." Emma smirked at me. "Just don't go crying to grandpa when you finally realize your mistake!"

"Let's raise the stakes to five thousand academy credits then!"

"Five thousand?? HA HA! YOU ARE ON!" Emma cackled happily.

"Oh I love betting with ignorant fools like yo-"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Oh look, it's three vs one now. HA HA!" I cackled happily.
