Autom High was ruled by a board, with each of its member being of at least mid-high rank. The board was represented by chess pieces, but unlike chess, the king was not as defenceless. The board's king is always the strongest of the student body, supported by the queen; which was the second strongest of the student body. They were followed by the twin bishops, the twin knights, the twin rooks, and the eight pawns. Luna herself was once the first bishop of the board, but she left after a dispute with the queen at the time.
At the current period in time, the board is ruled by Kelvin Knox. His queen being the school belle, Angelica Rae. The two of them make a perfect team, complementing each other's already little weaknesses, crushing their opponents domestic and abroad. Ruling the school with a clandestine hold, they upheld the rule of strength. The strong were favoured, the weak were neglected. Perhaps this is why the mid-low ranker was disrupting the order.
But how they ran the school wasn't the most authoritarian aspect about them, it was their power quotient. At birth, Kelvin was found to possess 85PQ, and Angelica possessed 83PQ. However, with training they improved their PQ levels by 10 each.
Their power quotients were enough for students to just accept them as the authority of the student body, not even the rest of the board can take both of them on. They were near godly in the eyes of the student body, their aloof personas combined with their authoritarian policies made them highly revered even by those that were neglected.
In fact, just possessing a power quotient of 70 can guarantee one's prospects to be extremely favourable. So someone of elite rank is probably qualified to take on the role of a president or a monarch. With that knowledge in mind, Kelvin and Angelica were raised to be the most respectable of youths, having millions poured into their education. In other words, they had everything they needed to progress in life.
However, one cannot truly be called an elite rank without the ability to fight, which both of them possessed at extreme proficiencies. Both of them could handle an army of mid ranks with their eyes closed, leaving nothing in their wake. Their powers were all known because they didn't need to hide them. As a matter of fact, the school does allow each student to hide aspects about them, using a government service; which the minority of students do not usually use. However, Kelvin and Angelica strut around the school without a care about secrecy, exerting a strong aura of confidence.
Instead, they chose to hide nothing; scoffing at the student body.
Ranking game between Autom High and Hierarch Academy:
The hierarch pawns formed a defensive line of shield ability users, effectively blocking the Autom advance. As the shielders slowly moved forward, the rooks rushes forward and unleashed a rain of lasers and lightning, sending the Autom pawns into disarray as quickly as the attacks hit. With the chaos ensuing, the Autom leadership stepped in by sending their rooks and knights.
BLAST
The quad of four high ranks simultaneously activated their large scale crowd control abilities, triggering quicksand abilities and explosive blasts that echoed throughout the expanse of the arena. The blast allowed the Autom pawns to gather their remaining members and launch a ranged volley of fire type abilities.
"Konrad, don't you think that our pawns are too weak?" Julian asked his senior knight.
"Well, Jules. Recently they've got their egos handed to them by that mid-low rank, so they have probably lost motivation..." Konrad responded.
"THAT FUCKING MID-LOW! IT IS BECAUSE OF HIM THAT WE ARE EMBARRASSING OURSELVES!" A pawn shouted as he got up from being hit.
The battle between the pawns soon ended with the complete destruction of both sides' pawns, leaving only the leadership of each board.
"All rooks, knights and bishops; let your queen and I handle these imbeciles." Kelvin loudly spoke as he walked to the front of the group.
"All remaining board members of Hierarch Academy, I, Kelvin Knox and Angelica Rae shall end this battle." Konrad announced.
"WELL WELL...IF IT AIN'T MR KNOX AND LADY RAE?" The Hierarch king spoke.
"You seem a little angry, don't you think?" The Hierarch Queen said as she chuckled.
"HOW ABOUT YOU JUST SURR-"
BOOOM
A huge explosion occurred in the middle of the Hierarch formation, triggered by Kelvin with a click of his fingers. This was followed by the majestic Angelica who leaped into the air and finished the remaining Hierarch board members with a barrage of red energy projectiles, crushing their spirits as they witnessed their abrupt loss.
"Never forget, Autom High can always replace their pawns if they are weak. However, you made the mistake of judging our overall strength because of some lousy pawns." Angelica coldly remarked.
The battered opposing board laid on the ground as they all gave out, signalling for the stand by teams to take them away for treatment. Even with the shockingly quick victory, Autom was left in a rather cold mood. No one wanted to make eye contact with each other out of shame for how weak they were. As it seemed, the defeat of only one pawn by the mid-low student earlier had already cause this rippling domino effect of anxiety and disorder.
"All Autom High pawns are dismissed from their positions from this day forward. We will find replacements immediately." Kelvin announced as he walked out of the arena.
