[Senku is the kind of person that people might've seen around, but he's a quiet guy who's often got a lot on his mind, and at the moment the mystery of the train appears to be going nowhere. He can't sit that idly by though, so he sets some of his brain power on a more personal mystery.]

I've scoured the library, such as it is, for a book on advanced or complex mathematics, so I figured I would ask if that's something someone has on hand and I just missed it.

[He doesn't have any points to request books as of yet.]

Specifically, I'm looking to refresh my knowledge of knot theory calculations. If you can help, let me know. I can certainly repay any favours in the future.

The idea of keeping track what cards are in the deck is a stupid reason to be considered cheating.

The math is incredibly simple and there are only 52 options, so by process of elimination, it's not hard to make an appropriate guess as to what cards remain.

[ Really, that's only true for someone like Senku, but he does it so automatically, he couldn't play fair if he tried. ]

[She squints a bit...]

That's not cheating, that's common sense. You're weird.

[10billionpercent]

[He shrugs.]

I agree with you, however in my world at the time that people were playing cards, they considered that to be a method of cheating. There were people famous for winning a lot of money that way, simply by counting the cards that were left in the deck.

[nocawsforconcern]

That's dumb. Cheating would be like punching the other guy.

[10billionpercent]

That's just violence. Cheating is usually much more subtle than that.

Also I'm not the kind of guy who goes around punching people.

[nocawsforconcern]

Caw. Why? Are you a pacifist? Or just weak?

[There's absolutely no judgment in her voice, it's... a genuine question... Not that she does a lot of punching either.]

[It's pretty hard to offend Senku, honestly.]

I would say both. I'm not a pacifist in the way you'd think. I would rather avoid bloodshed if I can help it, but I'm not afraid to use what I have at my disposal for the greater good.

But, punching specifically? I'm weak as a kitten. [He laughs sardonically.]

[nocawsforconcern]

You should fix that. If you're too weak, then you can't avoid bloodshed sometimes.

[10billionpercent]

Fix what? My strength? That's already a foregone conclusion. I have other people handle things with their monstrous strength while I strategize.

[nocawsforconcern]

Nope. Come with me, you're gonna work out.

[She's.

She's trying to reach into the video screen.

She doesn't know how this stuff works yet, okay.]

[10billionpercent]

There's not one millimetre of chance I'm going to do that.

[She doesn't understand, his stamina's the worst and never seems to get better, despite the physicality.

But. She's reaching for the video.

Oh look at the time, Senku has to cut the feed. Please don't try to find him.]
