Strongest Man vs Strongest Girl In Fairy Tail - ROUND 2

"Ahem! So, uhh Richter why don't you tell us about yourself?" Lucy asked.

"Hmm....about myself? I don't think there's anything interesting thing to tell....., I was one day suddenly teleported to a jungle and wala!! here I am."

"I think you are missing a whole lot of things. And would you stop staring at Erza already? You're making her uncomfortable. You should tell him Erza." Lucy encouraged the slightly blushing red head to vouch out her uncomfortness.

"It's okay, Lucy. In fact, I quite like it."

"Oi exhibitionist!" Lucy didn't expect that answer from Erza but knowing them till now, she gave up and instead asked him, "Why are you even staring at her?"

"Hmmm....her face, it's drawing me in. I have been thinking what is it that's so enchanting me and I think I have finally found it."

"S-So what is it?" Erza hearing someone compliment herself was indeed very happy. All the team was very curious to hear it.

"I think he has fallen in love with you Erza, Aye!"

"Hmmm.... I think it's her forehead. It's so wide, so enchanting and it's making her face so...."

"""So?"""

".....so ugly..."

There was nothing but silence for a moment.

"THAT'S SO RUDE!" Lucy spoke up first. "AND YOU TWO STOP LAUGHING!"

""Pffft!""

"Hahahaha!"

Happy and Gray couldn't stop laughing.

"Don't get me wrong. She is beautiful but her forehead it's just so big making her kind of ugly. Ugly yet so beautiful, Beautiful yet so ugly. Wow!"

Richter was still going on.

"STOP! STOP! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HER!!" Lucy hurriedly shut his mouth up.

There laid the Erza's soulless body right beside the another soulless body of fire dragon slayer.

"Oof! Finally we are here." Richter stretched his body from that hour long journey to "Akane Beach".

"Need some help guys?"

Lucy was carrying Erza's soulless body and Happy Natsu's motion sickness body.

"Yeah! A bit of help here." Gray said as he carried literal truck load of stuffs that belonged to the group.

"Alright! On my way."

"Holy moly, this one's really nice." Richter exclaimed as he excitedly looked around the grand resort of Akane Beach "The Akane Resort".

So, they were at Akane beach. A popular tourist spot in Fiore. One could find all sorts of entertainment here from amusement park to the casino.

It's a vacation and it would be a sin not to enjoy. It was the first time for Richter in Amusement park. So, of course he had to try everything and thus dragged everyone everywhere.

So much fun, so less time, such dilemma. There were still many things to explore in this beach. But they were already very tired. It was already very dark. The lights lit up all the Akane Beach. The reflection of lights on sea was very beautiful.

"There's also a casino in the basement of the hotel." Lucy who was more experienced on such things told.

"""REALLY???""" "Aye?"

All the boys had shinning stars in their eyes. They were filled with new energy as they rushed off to the hotel basement.

"These guys!" Lucy shook her head and shouted, "Erza and I will come later." She then went to bring Erza who had left to do sunbathing on beach.

In the casino, Gray went to play slot machine and Natsu rushed to play roulette.

"Hmph! Children" Richter harrumphed.

"What are you going to play Richter?" Happy asked him.

"True men only play cards!!!"

Erza and Lucy both dressed in glamorous dress arrived downstairs to casino. Both of them too came to play some cards and met with Richter.

"Richter! Are you playing poker too?"

"Erza! I have been winning straight 4. Hahahaha! All skills baby. Come on, I challenge you, Erza."

"Hoho! Are you challenging me? Fine then."

Twenty minutes later,

"T-This is my last bet. All in."

"So is mine. All in."

Only two players remained. The match was so intense and dominated by them, all other players just decided to become spectators. Since, they were making such attractions dealer-A too didn't interfere.

Both of the players decided to call blind and just for the sake of it both of them decided to show cards one by one after one another. Richter went first.

1st card:

Richter- King of clubs

Erza- Ace of spades

2nd card:

Richter- Queen of clubs

Erza- Ace of clubs

3rd card:

Richter- Jack of clubs

Erza- Ace of diamond

4th card:

Richter- 10 of clubs

Erza- Ace of heart

5th card:

Richter- 9 of clubs

"Hell yeah! I win this time Erza. Straight flush."

Erza gave off her evil smirk, "Not so soon, Richter. My last card is still there."

"What the hell are you even you talking about? The most you can get is "four of a kind" now. None of the cards will beat my straight flush."

"Umm....Sir, since you two were going full out war, I added a wild card to make it interesting."

"What the fúck did you say!!??"

The dealer-A poured the cold water in Richter's heart as it started thumping loudly.

"I believe in the heart of the cards, Richter." She then turned her final card.

Erza's 5th card: JOKER

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!" Richter screamed in despair as he fell kneeling to the ground.

"Five of a kind. You lose, Richter." It was her victory.

"That was awesome Erza! You won 5 in a row against Richter. You are incredible."

Lucy's words struck Richter's heart like arrows.

"Gahak!" He laid defeated on the ground.

"I am feeling great tonight. No dealer can change my luck tonight."

A new dealer came forward as he pulled the dealer-A back and confidently spoke, "If so then shall we play a special game? And we won't simply be betting for a few coins."

Shuffling the cards he threw them on the table and each card lined on the table to read:

1st card – D

2nd card – E

3rd card – A

4th card – T

5th card – H

"Let's gamble a life, Big sister Erza!"

Trembling she spoke, "Sho!"

From under the table, he rose slowly and menacingly, "And where's the greetings for me, Níggà? We too have been apart for quite a while, haven't we?"
