[color=82ca9d][b]"Ehh?"[/b][/color] Suzakura looked over his shoulder towards his name being called in a familiar manner.

[color=82ca9d][b]"Yo! Minanananana! Oi! Wait a second, where did you go last night? Well it doesn't really matter now does it? So watcha say, should we go and have some fun? There's gotta be something we could do, this spooky old building looks dull so that just ain't it."[/b][/color] The bully considered his options while louding sharing his thoughts.

[color=82ca9d][b]"How about we go and draw some new interesting art at the Saint Laurel's school? Or we could go hang out with Kibuririri, our boss-bro. Watcha think MoMo? Perhaps we will run into Chinami-chan too! All-right!"[/b][/color] Suzakura tightened his hands into fists and then made a cheering motion up into the air.

Surely today was going to be far better than the day before, even if the past had it highlights which he missed. The time he had bullied Parker and Cel sprung to mind, almost bringing a tear of nostalgia to his eyes. It had been the good ol' days, where he was the king of kings. Way before he had run into Kiburi and lost that fight quite handsomely. Ofcourse he was still the king in a sense, but to challenge and fight Kiburi was suicidal. The guy's strength had to be respected. Ofcourse there had been times where people had not respected him and gotten their sorry asses handed to them. But at this time Suza was certain that most people had some respect for Kiburi, enough to not mess around with him or the people he surrounded himself with.

To have a hierarchy was good and all, Kiburi was at the top, then it was probably Chinami-chan and himself. Mina and Kurogane was pretty strong too, all things considered but Mina wasn't as much of a thinker in battle and that was costing her alot of wins. Kurogane was having alot of potential, but it seemed to fluxuate from time to time, dependant on some factors. While Suza wasn't fond of Kurogane's seemingly weak 'spirit', in that he tried to protect the meek, he did consider the guy as a strong opponent. That was more than could be said for the weaklings of the other schools, even if Michael, or four-eyes as Suzakura regarded him had proven to have quite the punch despite it all. Perhaps Mina was seeing some resemblence to the guy and himself? The very idea of being similar to the guy was enough to make him feel like removing his breakfast.

As the blonde ex-king looked over the vast underground chamber, he realized that he would have to play a 'game' in order to pass.

[color=6ecff6][i]'I cannot rely on magic to push through this. I need to play by the rules. The knight can move two places forwards and one to the left or right.'[/i][/color]  So he had to walk around the various pieces on the board, the game had already been in play apparently as the various pieces were spread throughout the floor.

But in order to reach the other side of the chessboard, he needed to cross a line guarded by the white queen. For a moment, Reverio thought he saw Princess Lalamarie in it's place, but once he blinked such a visage was gone. The blonde watched the floor and took a deep breath before he started to run and then attempted to slide over the diagonal space that the queen guarded. The queen quickly came flying towards Rev the moment he attempted to cross over, it nicked him in the back on it's way. Causing him to fall forwards into a free-space on the board.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Ahh-hngnn!" [/b][/color]Reverio cried out as he was hit by it, even if he had avoided being hit by it full on, the piece had violently hurled him to the floor and he felt wracking pain all over his body. Almost as if the pieces were magically enhanced by electricity.

[color=6ecff6][i]'That... was painful.. but uhnn.. I cannot afford to use my healing powers in this room, who knows what happens if you try cheat...'[/i][/color] The blonde thought to himself, as he realized he needed to press on even if he was bruised. He made a few jumps and dashes, avoiding behind slammed between two clashing pawns until he realized only one piece stood in his way. The white bishop.

Irony. Such cruel irony. It was his brother who had been the bishop who took the place of the king. Was this yet another cruel test of the gods? [color=6ecff6][b]"No matter what.. I must go on. That is my only redemption."[/b][/color] He muttered to himself as he braced himself to cross over the final line, guarded by the white bishop.

With a dash of speed, the former king strode forth, crossing the last line of black and white checkered floor, as the bishop came flying towards him. Momentarily he thought of his brother, as everything almost seemed to go in slow motion. Then he reached the end of the room, the bishop flew past him but avoided hitting him. [color=6ecff6][i]'My brother.. is this your way of saying you would try to stop me? I cannot do as you ask... I need to make sure your death was not in vain. It wouldn't just matter how else I would live, I could never make your sacrifice worth it otherwise. I couldn't face you nor the princess when death finally claim me.'[/i][/color] He closed his eyes and gave out a deep sigh, preparing himself for what were to come in the long corridor that was now greeting him. It looked clear. But was it?

[color=6ecff6][i]'Hesitation. My eternal foe. If it wasn't for you, I could have saved the kingdom... I could have prevented... I- I couldn't.. I am not strong enough. I never was. So I have to find something that is strong. Strong enough to unify the world, to turn it into what it should be. Peaceful and kind. Nightman. Perhaps you were right, humankind can still be saved? We'll see.'[/i][/color] Reverio closed his eyes and took a moment to collect his thoughts, he needed to be paying attention or he would run into a trap. Again. But at the same time he couldn't take too long or people would notice his breach into the vault.
