It had been an early morning for the Chess Club President. 

Somehow there had been more than a few of the aspiring one stars in the club trying to rank up in a single night, both by attempting to take out a higher ranked two-star and destroying as much of the clubroom as possible. By the time the fires had been put out, he'd been rudely awakened to discipline the younger students. Needless to say, neither bore any semblance of a star on their uniforms anymore. It also resulted in why he was standing in the courtyard as the bell rang, signalling the swarm of no-stars to start their incessant march to class.

Jordan's smile faded into a thin-lipped smirk as he recalled the incident. It wasn't every day that the long-haired young man got the chance to show of his uniform's capabilities. 

Wrapped in thought, he disdainfully set out across the courtyard, not bothering to reveal himself to the lower stars. Even their swarming ways as they flowed toward their classes in a massive rush did naught but provide a mild irritation that prodded at his need to maintain order. He'd need allies in high places to sort this sort of rabble out permanently. [i]Perhaps I should try to catch the Student Council's eye? Or perhaps an underclassman who looks like they are going places. Either was a good option...[/i]The smile hardened even as Jordan considered the most tantalizing option. [i]...Why not both?[/i]

The smile remained stuck in the plastic expression of a politician that was carefully plotting his opponent's downfall as he spotted one of the notable up-and-comers in the crowd, the rather unassuming president of the 'Synthetics'(He inwardly cringed at the idea, he'd hate to have even his own uniform internalized. Life Fibers were dangerous.) club. The rest was simply a matter of deduction. If he wanted a pawn in of a similar rank, he'd do worse than the one who was already jockeying for a higher-ranked uniform. With the smile forming into something more genuine, the chessmaster carefully took a step forward, blocking the sprinting girl's path.
