Chapter 154: Gretel's winning streak
After everyone in the casino came over to see what's happening, round 1 begins with Gretel going first, causing Drake to give her a smug grin before placing a trump card, which also caused the boys of the Peanut Gallery to cheer him on as the girls watched in amazement. After Drake taunted Gretel, a montage begins as the duo put down cards to try to outsmart each other. The montage then ends with Matilda reminded Gretel that Drake is using tricks and manipulation to beat her, causing Gretel herself to nod in agreement before getting an idea to win the first round.

Gossamer then explain how the Devil Brats managed to outsmart him and destroy Tartarus, causing Rock Lock to speculate that the Devil Brats have become more dangerous without them knowing before adding the point of them now having two most overpowered villains in their ranks, which are Gigantomachia Jr. and Chomper the Pacshark. Soon, Ganma told everyone that she and her colleagues have underestimated the Devil Brats and decided to be more stricter with the forces, so the same incident wouldn't happen again, causing everyone to understand before Izenko ask the council about their request to do Hero Work Orientation, so they can help take down the Devil Brats, which caused the council themselves to smile before agreeing that it's time for them to start preparing hero work students for an upcoming mission after they do some investigation. Everyone (including the Midoriya twins) then says right afterwards.
Meanwhile, Henry decided to go against Gretel next, which caused everyone to cheer as he sat down to play. the game then begins as a montage begins with Henry going first. Everyone then became shocked as he uses strategies that Drake uses before adding his own strategy, causing Gretel to give Henry is a cold death glare before getting an idea. Soon, Gretel beats the first round against Henry, which caused to say "Game on" as Gretel herself laugh as a montage begins. The montage then ends on the final round as Henry and Gretel stare intensely at each other as everyone watches in anticipation. Another montage then begins as the final round begins, causing Henry to start sweating until Buddy and Esme wipe him with Handkerchiefs. Soon, Gretel surprised everyone by winning the final round, causing everyone to cheer as Henry and Gretel shook hands until King Mighty told them to do one more game, which also caused Drake to tell Gretel herself that he wants a rematch. Gretel then smiled and say ok as she and Drake sat down to do one more game.
