Friendly Game of Strategems (Gabriel Seran)

[Gabriel Seran]

The decision in his mind was to keep on guard but keep a sense of pressure reguradless so to move the bishop was his best option. Nowhere? No this Game was a close match to see who was to lose a man first.

[Masaru]

Masaru's instinct told him to play it safe, though what was there to do? He made the only move he saw plausible at the moment.

[Gabriel Seran]

The quick repetition, with an easy defense Gabriel noted how Masaru played he was moving his forces forward and Gabriel needed to act upon his own defenses.

[Masaru]

This was getting interesting. Almost like trench warfare. Masaru could see whomever made the first attack would end up starting the bloodshed.

[Gabriel Seran]

As stated earlier this was a battle of defense, no one going to strike first, their loses could be too severe. In the end the battle would be decided upon who struck first.

[Masaru]

A butler came in and offered refreshments, Masaru took tea, and gestured a thank you. There was no time for speech, it was a battle of wits.

Gabriel nodded in acknowledgment of refreshments. God this was becoming quick the close quarters match one of extreme finesse as the chances of destruction grew ever nearer.

Masaru raised an eyebrow. This could be an interesting match.

[Gabriel Seran]

"So Masaru, what is your interpretation on the plans I've set in motion?"

Gabriel would question with a bit of curiousity, what he was secretly implying if he could do better. Which was his job now.

[Masaru]

Masaru took a deep drink from his green tea.

"Only time will tell how things go, though might I inquire as to what kind of people you recruited?

Masaru fixed the question as he was asking, because adding a this time to the end of that, it may be seen as a rude question.

[Gabriel Seran]

"Quite honestly I can't be too sure....everyone I suppose, this involves the entire school to an extent. I don't want miniscule changes I want the destruction of the Pillar system."

[Masaru]

At this Masaru raised an eyebrow.

"It might have been wiser to have those whose loyalties are known in the group before allowing anyone, though only time will tell..."
