Educator Alphonse explained the mechanics, "Your goal is to capture the opponent's stones by skipping to a vacant diagonal square…"
Each player had twelve stones, one of them had the red ones, while the other had the blue ones. The pairs could choose where they would like to play and since fresh air could be felt in Ivory's seat, Arcea was the one who moved towards her.
As they played, it was too obvious that Ivory was a beginner. A really bad one. Even Sigmund, who sat quietly as he watched his Master play, couldn't help but feel agitated on every wrong move she did. He even noticed that her opponent had been taking it easy on her, yet she still couldn't see the right stone to transfer.
"You're such a dimwit," Sigmund whispered to Ivory.
"It's my first time," she pouted.
"Even a five-year-old kid can do better than you."
"Why don't you teach me then? I'm curious about your greatness, Servant."
