Illya managed keeping the bullies at bay, when finally they realized his intelligence could be a boon to them.
He always won at cards, telling them the secret of counting, helping work out the odds in Svoi Kozyri, a game of foresight and imagination in which luck had no place.

Lyov Prokourorov, seventeen and soon to be pressed into military service, if he did not disappear as a thug onto the streets, ruled over the children and members of the staff. He took a liking to the little blond.
Illya became his lucky charm.
