Chapter 04

Today, Vayne, Eliza and Erica are currently inside a plane and on their way to the academy island known as "Ghuizheal Academy". And at this very moment, Vayne is in serious trouble.

He is now losing in a game of chess with Erica, with only few move left of being checkmate. He is right now having a brainstorm of how he could turn the tides, and end result of his brainstorming he declared.

"Concede... I concede...." «Vayne»

He conceded, why is that? Even if he moved his used his Rook piece to take out the White Bishop, the White Knight piece would only take out his Queen piece and also get checked. If he move his King away, the White Queen would move and it would be checkmate.

He already lost 5 times with only two win for him. At first he was in control of the game with two win in a row, but later then he continue to loss the game.

"Another game?" «Erica»

She asked with her expression, even though not noticeable, had a mocking look. Winning 5 time in a row, yet she still not satisfied yet.

"This game is similar to chess and checkers, I call it "Dama". So wanna have a go?" He smirked as he asked her.

He first set up'd his white pieces, and Erica followed as well. Then he began explaining the rules of the game.

The rule of the game is quite simple and easy to remember, similar to the game chess and checker. The rules for the game is, each player could move one piece each turn, only moving diagonally on the black tile.

The pawns, knights, and rooks are used at the start, while the kings, queens, and bishop are used when a player reached the "dama". The "dama stage" is reached when a player gets his piece to the last row of the board. The dama could move in row to row diagonally.

They can't eat or capture a piece backward, but dama piece are exceptional to this rule. If both player had a single "dama" piece, it would already declare as a draw.

Having both of them under stood the rules and mechanics of the game, they began playing. Of course they could add some rules to the game to make it interesting, but because they were new to the game he didn't include it in his explanation.

Vayne first move his piece to the center, while Erica move to left side of the board. In just a few turns, first blood has fell. Vayne sacrificed his piece just to claim the left side, but Erica had intercepted his next attack.

Once again, the out come is. A two normal pieces and dama piece for the white, while the black had three normal piece and two dama piece.

Vayne was in a tight spot while Erica already had the large advantage, and a few more move she would make six win. But, Vayne didn't panic this time, he just observed and without notice he just grinned.

"looks like you loss again, Vayne. This would be our win and Erica's sixth win." «Eliza»

In the middle of the game, Eliza joined in helping Erica by taking out pieces that her twin missed out or look ring a piece to eat two of his.

Vayne spook in reply to what Eliza had said, with a voice with no intention of losing or conceding, but a voice that had secured his path to victory.

"You know Eliza, it still not decided when the game is not yet even over. And just a few move, I would be the winner" «Vayne»

Vayne moved his piece next to the black piece sacrificing it. She then ate it moving away from the piece in the right side, Vayne then moved it with only a a next turn would turn it into a dama piece.

"Looks like its already decided. A lose is a lose, no use giving excuses Vayne."

Erica declared as she took out his dama piece, leaving one piece left for Vayne. She knew that one dama piece wouldn't make a difference with her numeral advantage, as well as having two dama piece.

"Yeah, seems like it... It's a lose, for the two of you that is." «Vayne»

Vayne then moved his piece to the top right of the board as he declare his win. The two could only stare at him wondering what he was talking about, and when they looked at the board. He is only had one piece left.

"You still haven't figured it out? In this situation, I already had won the game. Just look at where my piece is at." «Vayne»

This time, they realize that, Vayne's dama piece is in the row where both opposite side connect. Yes, its the A1-H8. Vayne never wanted to beat her in sheer number, he planned to beat her by being overpowered by sheer number.

"Like I said, this is similar to the game of checkers, as well as chess." he said as he clear out the pieces.

The twins wanted another round for a chance to beat him, but they don't have time to do it now, they are only few minutes away from before landing. So they in a bad mood and began started cursing Vayne in their minds, without the person himself knowing it.

Vayne knew that they are right now cursing at him, but he wasn't bothered by it. In fact, he was pretty much in a good mood, although dirty, a win is still a win.

A mysterious person glanced at the calendar, suddenly a malicious crude smile appeared on his face frightening his followers that surrounds him.

"Ufufufu!! Looks like fresh toys finally arrived. They better not break quickly, can't have losing more toys. I can't wait to play with them." «?»
