When the voice stopped speaking, everyone's attention went to the yellow booklet in their hands. While some adapted rather quickly, among them were: Alex, Jullia, Mary, Ivan and Arthur White, most of the students were terrified. It took the majority of the students way too long to accept their new reality. 12 hours later they finally calmed down and started looking for ways to survive.
Meanwhile, during all this time, Alex, Jullia, Mary, Ivan and Arthur read and reread the yellow booklet multiple times to make sure that they didn't miss anything. Their lives were on the line after all.
It was quickly discovered, and shared, that if you think Status, then a Status-like Window will appear in front of you. After that, everyone started checking their Statuses and sharing[very personal] information with each other. However, what they discovered shocked them even more. Everyone was assigned classes already. All they had to choose was what side to play on
However, not everyone was as thrilled about the whole "class assignment" thing, especially the "Pawns". There were 16 of them in total.
"What kind of Bullshit is this? What do you mean, 'Pawn' I am a lot stronger than a pawn. If that wasn't bad enough, all my stats are 1! This is unfair!" Some events went as far as having a mental breakdown, refusing to accept this as their reality.
Meanwhile, those who were assigned a minor piece[Knights and Bishops] or higher classes were ecstatic at their luck. Seeing the reactions of most "pawns", immediately, a hierarchy formed. There were only five people who weren't panicking, among them, of course, Arthur White.

To calm the crowd, Alex stood up and spoke.
"Everyone, Listen to me. We have less than 12 hours left before the first round begins. I was given the King class, who wants to join me? I chose the
Everyone who heard Alex's words started talking among themselves, trying to make a decision: what side to pick? Meanwhile, Alex double-checked his Status:

By the time Alex finished looking over and assigning his Unassigned Attribute Points, a few people volunteered to join the
Many of the "pawns" were made fun of just a few moments ago. Therefore, they were not enthusiastic about being chosen. Seeing the whole situation, the "minor pieces" threatened the "pawns" to join, or else they were going to be beaten up by them.
Reluctantly, the "pawns" chose the
"Can I join?" asked Arthur, as he walked up to Alex.
"Sure thing. However, I want there to be teamwork on my side. Can you provide that?" asked Alex, with a raised eyebrow. Everyone knew Arthur as the "Chess Kid". However, no one took him seriously. Furthermore, not everyone treated this new world as the real thing. Most people thought of this world as a game, and thought of the whole "If you die in the game, you die in real life" thing as a joke[because of the Status Screen].
When the "minor pieces" and the "major pieces"[Rooks and Queen] saw Arthur White approaching to take the last pawn spot of the
Hearing all the mockery from his former classmates, Arthur stood there for a while. After a while he murmured to himself, "Idiots". Arthur realized, based on their behavior, that his former classmates didn't even bother to read the yellow booklet. Outside of Aex and Jullia, nobody in the
Then Ivan came out, and said, "All those of you who are left, come join the white camp!"
While the "pieces" were assembling themselves, Ivan checked his Status:

"Want to join us? I saw what happened between you and the
"Yes, I don't have much of a choice. However, I do have a request: make me the e7 pawn right in the center. I will kill their central pawns. That way, we can break through the center."
Ivan listened quietly then nodded. "Anything else?" Ivan asked curiously.
Arthur looked Ivan straight in the eye and said, "Don't die, no matter what. We need to win as many of these early rounds as possible to get stronger."
"I am not planning to. Welcome to the team Arthur"
Arthur gave Ivan a thumbs up, then he proceeded to stand in the e7 square on the chess board.
