1 The beginning of the games

[Kingdom of Elkia, Capital of Elkia]

[Akamura University]

Since the 203 ° King of Imanity, a school tradition has been maintained until today: The Game of Pieces. A game made in agreement with the directors / professors of the University and the King or Queen (in this case the King and Queen). In this game, students will test their knowledge and intelligence to overcome others. Each room will be divided into two teams, Black and White, each with sixteen people and with each person representing a chess piece, just like in the real world, with the Exeed Breed Pieces. The objective is to leave the other team without pieces, beating them in games and bets.

Professor Sidney closes the book.

- Well, this is the basic explanation of what you will do. Any question? - practically all students raised their hands. - My god, right, let me explain in detail and maybe the doubts will settle. The game works as follows, all of you will be divided into two groups of sixteen students, and each student will have their piece chosen based on their intelligence, regardless of gender. No one, not even your team, will know the piece you have, only the owners themselves will know, unless you reveal it. Your objective is to dominate the other team by taking their pieces. You will do this in games, when someone is defeated ten times, your piece will go to the last person who defeated him. Each piece, as well as the pieces of the races, will represent a chess piece, going from the pawn to the king. But, unlike chess, the game will not be won just by defeating the enemy king, the game will be won when all pieces of the enemy team are stolen, that is, if the enemy team has only one piece, the game continues. When someone is defeated and has his piece lost, he will be excluded from the game and will not be able to play it anymore. And, as we cannot change the Commandments, bets will still be met. In the end, the winners will receive a surprise reward. Ready, still any questions?

This time, no student had his hand raised.

- Great, then, start the games - at the end of the sentence, a light came over the room and all the students saw in front of them the image of their play. And everyone, as much as they didn't know who owned each piece, knew who was on each team. - Please divide yourself into two groups, each with its respective color - at the end of the teacher's speech, the students divided into two remote groups and then began to discuss, be it strategies or normal subjects. The teacher simply sat at his desk, reading.

[On the side of the white team]

- What do you think, should we reveal our pieces to each other? - Serena took her cue. She was one of the most intelligent people in the room, always with good grades and always with a beautiful appearance: long black hair and blue eyes, medium height and well-developed body.

- Nothing like that - Allan, one of the kids with very average notes and a very loose look, messy light brown hair, same color eyes, Serena's best friend, and he was always provoked by not being the person with the best grades and being a person recluse and without many friends, she said before everyone else. - Do you really want to reveal the pieces to the other team?

- Stop being retarded, we don't need to talk or show them, just find a way to reveal them without anyone knowing, writing or whatever - Emily, a girl with very bad grades, loved to make fun of others, even being at an intellectual disadvantage.

- What if someone on the other team defeats you and tells you to reveal the pieces? - From what it seems, Emily's arguments are over, because she said nothing more in the face of Allan's words. - Professor, what happens to those who play with people on the same team?

- Bets will still stand, but losses will not count. So they can be defeated millions of times, but they will not lose their pieces. Ah, remembering that the game will end in five months, if there is no winner, the team with the most pieces will win.

- What if nobody agrees to play?

- Good point, each person can only refuse a challenge three times in a row. If you pass, you will be forced to play.

All students begin to whisper among themselves, some even in despair or fear.

A sound echoed through the school announcing that it would be a break time, Allan stood up and looked at Serena smiling.

- What are you going to do? She asks quietly, seeing that he has some secret intention.

- What else would I do? I'm going to start playing - Allan looked at a random boy from the other team.
