The students of both Eastvale and Fairchild are both, in their entirety, now present at a stadium within the centre of Caissa city. It's a huge one, fitting for games on par with the Olympics, which perhaps shows the importance of these games themselves. Students were not segregated in their stands for the two schools, and for that reason, you can see blocks of white and black in multitude in the audience as members of schooling choose their seats. The only split is those participating, truly. Everyone within the clubs, along with the club leaders that are members of staff, are put in two blocks in their respective directions. The place of Eastvale is to the west of the main field, whilst the location of Fairchild's block is to the east. Within the centre is a mix of different areas. A huge one in the centre with a clean white floor and grass around it, to prevent any interferences. There was a boxing ring, along with a closed off pool, an announcers stand in the centre and a running track that runs all the way around it. Of course, more activities could be brought up and editted into the area with the changings of the mechanics and a swift building process done by Breakthrough Engineers.

The key members of Checkmate were not present, as they had to watch it from the large screens within Check Tower due to an order from the QUEEN, and for that reason - any feeling of anxiousness in the crowd itself was lifted, and many people were happy with the food they obtained from stands prior, awaiting the grand arrival of the start of the SCHOOL CLASH.

It began now.

Within the centre of the whole arena, in the announcer-like area fit for non-physical activities, two figures stood. A woman dressed in white with brilliant red eyes and long black hair was holding a microphone was one of them. The other was a long black haired male dressed in black. He also had a blue scarf with a golden trim, and a hat of similar design.

The two school council pesidents will, as usual, announce the games and host the action... Along with giving commentary on the events that take place. The first to speak is the leader of Eastvale - Kaede Zan.
  Tiewan Long: "<Hmm...>"
  Tiewan Long: "<I finally made it, without getting lost.>"
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede | "[ Hello, ladies and gentlemen! ]"
A large sweeping motion of the white clad woman's arm welcomes the members of the audience to the School Clash. A large smile was on her face, and the multitudes of screens that danced around the arena's edges and within each specific block showed her face alighted with joy at the incoming situation. Glowing red eyes fell back on a camera directly infront of her to allow them to see her face properly as she began to speak.

"I'm Zan Kaede, the school council president of Eastvale. I'm going to be co-hosting the events of the 2063 School Clash along with my dear FRIEND: Kaiju Janken, the school council president of Fairchild!"

A hand moves in his direction, gesturing towards the male. The cameras turn to the male.
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken | "A pleasure to be here for this year too, Zan-chan."
His eyes focused on the girl for a moment, before moving to the cameras. His voice spoke up into the silver microphone that was held in his hand. The sensible voice of the male would flow after the energetic one of the woman beside him, filling the arena and the ears of all those present.

"As most of you are aware, Fairchild was the last winner of the School Clash, winning the 2062 clash with a small margin on the field of points. This year, we hope everyone puts just as much effort in as last year, so we can have another exciting show of our abilities and strengthen the bond of all people within Caissa through these shows of skill, heart and determination."

His eyes drift once more to Kaede, as she speaks up.
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede punches her free hand into the air with Janken's words. A shining smile appears on her face as she speaks up.

"That's right! Let's sock it to 'em!"
  Aratana, Amari <Ah...so Checkmate isn't here after all...>
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "<Checkmate is everywhere.>"
  Gurai Akurai: "<Checkers is a better game."
  Yanyu thinks very profoundly on the upcoming events.

< I should have gotten more sponge cake. >
  [ - Tough Luck - ] Kazuki Saburo thinks very profoundly on the upcoming events.

<Just think...That girl wants to eat my flesh and kill me...>
  [ - Tough Luck - ] Kazuki Saburo: "<Fukou da...>"
  Daniel Jennings: "And so the games begin. I can't wait for my chance to shine."
  Tabata, Minoru: "<I could be doing anything else.>"
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken: "Put as wonderfully as always. Now, I think we'll first go over the system of which we'll be finding the winner for those of you who have never seen a Clash before. It's quite a simple scoring system. Every time a student wins an event, that school will obtain a point. In some cases, it may not just be a simple point."
  [ - Rolling Girl - ] Kamiya, Sora: "<Ga...ma...n...>"
  Fumiko Kobayashi can't wait either! Soooooooooooon!!! But not today.
  Daniel Jennings goes back to smiling to himself as he sketched orbital mechanics lines and equasions in his well-used notebook.
  [- High Priestess -] is likely present, watching. Somewhere.
  [ - Crimson Howling - ] thinks this bites, having to watch from afar. "Man."
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede: "That's riiiiiiiight! For example, both Kendo clubs this time have not put forward a single member for each gender, but an entire team! Two five a side battles lead by the student leaders of each side, Fumiko Kobayoshi of Fairchild and Kenji Fujimoto of Eastvale! As it is a battle of five members, rather than just one. Whoever has three wins at the end of it will be awarded ten points, rather than the simple five you'd expect!"
  Hisao Mizushima is happy to be attending this as a competitor. "I won't let Taichou down..not after troubling her to let me into the club. I.."
< I have to win..! >
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe waits in full attire, as she often did before competitions. "One match each... I see."
  Jubei Maou fades into obscurity with his sphere boundary, deciding to watch without letting anyone know he was..well, there. It was easier to avoid being pestered this way. < Good luck, Kazuki-kun. >
  Tarou Yoshiro calls the Rook from a public phone. Was it the best idea for her to hand out her number publicly during her speech?
| Krath5 has Logged On |
  Tabata, Minoru iss not being professional at all. He just nudges Eri with his elbow while yawning visibly. "Hey, who's Fumiko?"
  [ - Crimson Howling - ]: "Oooooh~! Someone is calling me!"
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe: "Our...captain?"
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken nods his head in agreement, before looking back to the cameras.
"Ten points up for a single event may be a lot, but it's going to be a difficult one. We look forward to seeing the intense battle between swords that the two Kendo clubs have promised us. Now, moving on. The third section of the School Clash this year will be the 'QUEENS BOUT', an exciting battle to decide a system within Checkmate abandoned by the key role many years ago. Not only will the winner bring back twenty points for their school, but they will also take on the role of the 3rd QUEEN's own 'PAWN', being the likely successor to the role of 'QUEEN'. It will be a challenge that brings eight people in total together, four from each school, who are then put against each other in a tournament to decide the ultimate winner. This tournament will be decided through decimating their opponents and securing a position of power over them, befitting the role of 'QUEEN' within this city of ours."
  Tabata, Minoru: "Whaaaat?"
  [ - Crimson Howling - ] clears her throat and deepens her tone when answering, "What?"
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe 's mind is more occupied by this competition than kendo.
| Inejourn has Logged Off |
  Tarou Yoshiro: "Will you be ready to walk the Path of Heaven when the time comes?""
  [ - Tough Luck - ] Kazuki Saburo: "Securing a position of power over them...What's that even suppose to mean? Isn't it easier just to say knock them out or something?"
  [ - Crimson Howling - ]: "A-are you hitting on me?"
| Inejourn has Logged On |
  [ - Fear Personified - ] Fukou Conquest leans over Kazuki's shoulder, whispering into his ear.
"No... It's about making them submit... Rather than knocking them out..."
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "I wonder what he means by decimating."
  Tarou Yoshiro: "That is the path I will be walking."
  [ - Fear Personified - ] Fukou Conquest: "Ha..hahaha... It's veeeeee~ry different."
  Tarou Yoshiro hangs up.
  Tiewan Long: "...."
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "Decimating. That's what."
  [ - Crimson Howling - ] ROOK: "Alright then."
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "Okay, but decimating has some pretty grisely connotations."
  [ - Crimson Howling - ] ROOK stares at the phone. She guesses she kind of invited crazy people on her line.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "Yeah, it does. Did you come to cheer for me?"
Probably not. But he was glad the golden friend was here anyway.
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "Yes. I don't have any --- anybody at Fairchild to cheer for except Gurai. But, I have two people to root for at Eastvale. It's very weird."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako is there too. Kato wears her like an accessory 70% of the time.
  Tarou Yoshiro might be a little crazy, after all that murder he did, and the carved up children he saw.
  [ - Tough Luck - ] Kazuki Saburo imediately turns to face the mysterious figure. Who was this girl...He had never seen her before. Was she part of Eastvale's group? He looked her over once before trying to respond.

"W-what do you mean?"
  Gurai Akurai is just in the stands, watching what's gonna happen.
  [ - Darkness Flame - ] MARE looks in the crowd for her FRIEEEENDS.
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede laughs a little down her mic, before speaking up.
"That's right, and since we're both involved, it's no doubt that it'll be exciting! Now, let's not focus on that just yet. We have the eight participants, but let's save that juicy piece of information until later. Right now, the results of the first section of the School Clash - the written section, are in! Take it away, Janken!"
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ] extends a hand to Jinguuji Takako to introduce himself then.
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken: "----"
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken: "Yes, the results will appear on your screen now."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako looks at a hand without candy or something in it, which probably means it's time to be polite. Takako raises her hand and slaps right into the palm of Katsurou's.

Hi5.
  [ - Desuscythe - ] Erin Bates sits in the crowd, hoping to see someone get their face beat in.
  A flash appears on all the screens dotted around thhe area, as well as all those for people watching at home. As it clears, it shows a screen split in two. One is white, and one is black. The white one has black writing, and the black one has white writing.

On the white side it says:

'Eastvale:
17 points'

On the black side it says:

'Fairchild:
9 points'
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ] nice one. "What a lovely daughter you have."
  [ - Copy Fake - ] Cyril remebers he's TECHNICALLY suppose to be here and look pretty or something. Cyril rubs his face.
  Aratana, Amari: "Not surprising... We have a habit of gambling on our physical events..."
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede: "Eastvale is already eight points ahead! Let's hear a cheer for those of us in white!"
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako waits for Kato to correct him.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "She's uh, not. That."
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "Baby sister?"
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "She's another Knight Pawn, and my first Minstra. You're my Minister, as you are a male."
  From the Eastvale students, and those figures who support Eastvale students being teachers, parents or merely people who like the sports present and want Eastvale to win... A deafening roar echoes throughout the arena, hushing slowly, but being ultimately quietened by the voice of Janken.
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "Ooooooooh. So in a way /we're/ siblings."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako: "Oh, he's a mistarmluluh too?"
  Tabata, Minoru: "Woo-hoo!"
  Yanyu 's mind on the QUEEN's Bout. A.K.A the thing she's going to win. She has to win. Because this had to be some sort of personal invitation she extended to her. The fact that Eri had entered is extremely irritating. Her arms are crossed and she doesn't bother to allow the energy from the crowd to sink into her skin yet. Those points could be corrected.
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken | "That may be true, but Fairchild has always staked its all on the physical games, as that is our way! This year is no different, so shall we move on from the handicap that Eastvale has been given?"

The echoing of 'ooooh' runs through the arena at Janken's call that Eastvale requires such a thing.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato nods to them both. "In a way, yeah. More like step-siblings."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako: "I'm really hungry, nii-san."
  Yanyu channels all of her anger and losing the lead for this---
  Yanyu --A CHALLENGING DEATH GLARE DIRECTED AT EASTVALE'S STUDENTS.
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe lets her hand fall on Yanyu's shoulder.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato returns it with a wave. "Look, it's Yanyu-san."
   Oshiro, Haruto channels all of his why for this----
  Daniel Jennings just laughs as he continues doing deltaV equasions for a man-sized object.
   Oshiro, Haruto --As a way to live life.
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede | "Yes, let us! Now, we'll begin by doing two events at once."

Kaede's hand lifted into the air with two fingers.

"We will begin with the Female battle of the 'MAGIC' clubs from both schools, who I shall host, and...!"
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken: "The male 'BOXING' competition between both schools, which I shall be hosting!"
  Daniel Jennings: "It's a good thing I picked the mental-focused school."
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken: "As such, Carrol James of Eastvale and Tiewan Long of Fairchild make your way to the boxing ring!"
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede: "And the lovely females, Katsuo Kato and Fukou Conquest, can you make your way to the central arena!?"
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato looks around. There were only two Eastvale students in the magic competition, so..
"Uh."
Wait.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "Oh god."
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "..."
  Tiewan Long shrugs, and walks over to the arena.
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ]: "I know how it feels."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako: "Ooooooooooooh."
   Oshiro, Haruto: "Well then."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako is in the midst of a giggling fit now.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "This is terrible. But I have to do it, even though they think I'm a girl."
He made his way to the stage, averting his eyes from the crowd.
  Gurai Akurai: "...."
  Yanyu is glad Haruto acknowledges her seriousness but that will NOT be showing on her face. She really hopes to see him in battle again. And this time --- she won't stop being concerned for his safety. Eri's hand is registered on her shoulder almost like an attack and she shrugs it off. "Eastvale is still as stuck-up as usual."
  [ - Magician of Red - ] Tejinaji Akai sighs and waits his turn. Maybe he can learn soemthing from these feminine magicians.
  Ono, Kotono
  [ - Burning Rubber - ] Carrol didn't waste a moment. A male runs from the Eastvale side, full of energy, landing in the arena with a loud 'BANG' that resonated through the stadium as a whole. He had a large burn mark over one of his eyes, gained from his many battles with 'Sarah Stevens'. He had black wraps around his arms, and red shorts, silently awaiting his opponent to enter the ring, so he can plow his face into being utterly flat.
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato Fuck off Akai.
  Ono, Kotono
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe: "All we can do is put forth as much effort as we're able."
  Yanyu: "No."
  Gurai Akurai: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH? KATSUO'S A GIRL?"
  Hisao Mizushima "They seem pretty alright to me. Doesn't that girl for the magic competition strike you as odd though?"
This was his first time really..talking with the other kendo members.
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe: "...'No'?"
  Yanyu: "Effort is not acceptable. We're going to win."
  Hisao Mizushima "She has no chest. And wears boyish clothes. I wonder...."
  [ - Fear Personified - ] Fukou Conquest makes her own movement to the white arena in which Katsuo will be within. It was a girl with a patch-work witches outfit, many different colours dancing across it. She held quite a vacant and terrifying look. A strange desire hung in her eyes, but not one that could be so easily understood. Her long white hair fell wildly down her back.
  Hisao Mizushima "....If that's a /reverse trap/?"
  Gurai Akurai: "<Jeeze, girls sure look like boys now a days, I could've sworn Yanyu was a guy until she spoke aswell.>"
  [ - Biggest Dreamer - ] Tengen: "---THE LEGENDARY REVERSE TRAP EXISTS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL?"
  [ - OctoSwords - ] Marci: "Stop shouting, bakayaro, konoyaro."
  [ - Pleasantly Plump - ] Chuntao stuffs her mouth with the next cake she obtained from the stands, muttering to herself quietly from her seat within Eastvale's section of participants. The chubby girl simply quietly thinks to herself...
...'E-Even I'm prettier than her... Right...?'
  Enomoto, Eri Forsythe: "Then I will look forward to your conquest, Yanyu-san."
| Gekidou3 has Logged Off |
   Oshiro, Haruto: "I'm surrounded by anomalies."
  [ - Queen's #0 - ] Jun Conquest leans over ROOK's shoulder, amongst the members of Checkmate that were watching the games within the tower.
"Hmm, how about that..."
  [ - Queen's #0 - ] Jun Conquest: "It looooooooks like my dear spawn is participating...~"
  [ - Crimson Howling - ]: ". . ."
  [ - Crimson Howling - ]: "You uh."
  [ - Crimson Howling - ]: "Call her your daughter. How many times do we have to go over this?"
  [ - Queen's #0 - ] Jun Conquest: "...?"
  [ - Fear Personified - ] Fukou Conquest
  [ - Magician of Red - ] Tejinaji Akai: "I always knew he was gay."
  [ - Knight's #6 - ] Jinguuji, Takako forgot to wave, so she does that. "Good luck! Do your best!"
  [ - Crimson Howling - ] places a finger on her temple. Her other hand just passes over a bowl of snacks. Fukou's story was an interesting one. "Nevermind."
  Gurai Akurai: "<...I feel a huge pressure...oh god, she's looking in the area.>"
  Daniel Jennings looks over to Chuntao, glancing away from his notebook in a way that made his curly pompoudor bounce slightly.

"[Pretty cute by American standards.]"

  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato has a feeling of dread, as if he'd met someone like this before.
"Uh. Moshi moshi?"
  Ono, Kotono: "Katsuo-kun is a girl? There's no way."
  Ono, Kotono thinks back to the phallic cannon he carried.
   Oshiro, Haruto just wished Katsurou would have acted like a friend and let him copy shit from the gate. Fuck.
  [ Ratty Little Bastard Playing With Golden Things ] fuck you pony boy.
  Ono, Kotono: "[ OH MY GOOOOOODDDD. ]"
  [ - Fear Personified - ] Fukou Conquest watches Katsuo silently for a moment, her red eyes shining somewhat, before she looked down to the floor. The patchwork witch thought on his words for a moment, before speaking up in a scared, yet at the same time - awfully fearful tone. It was like a constant effect of 'fight or flight', a monster that is scared for its own well being, so it destroys all others.
  [ - Fear Personified - ] Fukou Conquest: "Are you scared...?"
| Gekidou3 has Logged On |
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "Scared..?"
He considers this for a moment. Only a moment.
  Tiewan Long jumps on into the arena, before tightening his headband. "Alright..."
  [ - Tough Luck - ] Kazuki Saburo watches as the girl from before heads onto the stage he realizes that she's...Actually on his team? Jeez that's a weird thought to think about. But the words she spoke from before still lingered in his mind.

<How the hell are they going to make their opponents submit?>
  Ono, Kotono is now even more scared for Katsuo. Her near-perfect English is now slipping out of pure terror at the sight of those bright and blood-red eyes.
"[ OH MY GAAAAAAH. ]"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dA7SC5T99I#t=14
  | Knight's #5 | Katsuo Kato "Nah, bring it on runt."
His staff was twirled in preperation, both hands grasping onto it in a rough manner as if it were a polearm--no distinct style. Untrained.
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken speaks up. The screen is kept split in two. As each screen is huge, there isn't much lost, honestly. One side depicts the boxing match, whilst the other depicts the battle between magicians. Every word they said is even announced to those in the crowd, so they can keep a full track of the going on.

Janken is the first, however.

"Now that both contenders are here, let me speak the rules. Unlike most matches, we will be having no breaks, as coaches are not present to support. This is a battle of skill and stamina, pushing both fighters to their limit. For that reason, there will be no round splits. Other Breakthrough Boxing rules apply, however. Do both fighters accept these terms?"
  [ - Burning Rubber - ] Carrol: "Of course!"
  Tiewan Long: "Heh, a battle of stamina. I'm in."
  [ - Fairchild Pres - ] Janken: "Good... Then... Begin!"
  [ - Breakthrough Killer - ] Zan, Kaede | "Alright, it seems both of our magicians are excited and ready! The feminine magic competition will begin now! As per usual, this will have three stages! The first of these will be... CREATION! You both have a minute to create the most 'beautiful' thing you can, using your magic alone!"

Kaede throws her hand into the air with a loud cry.

"BEGIN!"
  Tiewan Long claps his hands together, he expected some sort of three two one...but, whatever. Tiewan suddenly rushed straight foreward, pushing off of the ground, allowing him to shoot off like a rocket, with his arm already winded up, before Tiewan Long tried to suddenly thrust his fist straight foreward, in an attempt to punch Carrol straight in the stomach, hoping to suprise....him with his own speed.
