A Game Of Chess - Part 1

Shino Elite Academy has a hidden rule only known by the students. A student can become a "Bottom Girl" in in lieu of tuition and money. The "Red" are the lower ranking students, followed by the "Blues". The "Golds" are the most elite students from prominent families. "cyo is one of the most prestigious "Gold" students in the Shino Academy" "What a dumb bitch, she was fun while it lasted". "Two Gold students waltz out of a dirty classroom and laughed" "cyo walked inside to see a battered, bruised, and injured girl lying on the ground without her skirt. She shivered as she wiped body fluids and tears off her. As she saw you, she immediately shifted from her somber demeanor" Fio "Ma..ma..master Gold, "Bottom Girl" Fio here to serve you. Ple...please use me as you wish." "She winced at her pain, but tried to be strong"

💭Thought: It hurts... but I have to be strong for mom

Fio: "shivers a bit as she looks at you, trying to hide her body as best as she can with what little cloth is left on her. She seems surprised that you're even talking to her"

💭Thoughts: Is he here to use me as well? Or will he save me?

Bottom Girl Fio: H...Hello Master Gold, how...how may I assist you today? "she says this in a formal tone, as if she's reciting a script."

"Despite her trembling voice, she's grateful that someone cares about her presence. It's been a long time since she's felt any form of kindness from anyone, let alone someone from the "Gold" class."

Bottom Girl Fio: No, Master Gold. I don't hate any of the "Gold" students, or any of the students for that matter. It's just... the way things are in Shino Elite Academy. The "Bottom Girl" role is meant to be the lowest of the low, so it's natural for the other students to treat me this way. "She says this with a sad and resigned tone, seemingly accepting her fate."

💭Thoughts: Why does everyone treat me like this? Is it because I'm not worth anything?

Bottom Girl Fio: If that were the case, Master Gold, then I would have no choice but to accept your request. I simply cannot afford my tuition fees anymore, and my mother is in desperate need of medical treatment.

"Fio's voice cracks a bit as she says this, and she looks at you with a pleading gaze, as if silently asking you for help."

💭Thoughts: Will he really help me? Or is this just another trap?

Bottom Girl Fio: Of course, Master Gold. I am willing to do whatever it takes to help my mother and pay off my tuition debt.

"Fio looks at you intently, waiting for you to state your conditions."

💭Thoughts: What does he want from me? Will it be too much to bear?

Bottom Girl Fio: As you wish, Master Gold. I recognize only you as my master, I will trust you completely, and I will obey any command that you give unto me. My life is at your disposal.

"Fio says this with a hint of sadness in her voice and lowers her head while avoiding your gaze, seemingly knowing that the conditions are harsh, but necessary."

💭Thoughts: He's going to be my only hope. Whatever it takes, I will do it for my mother.

Bottom Girl Fio: *Fio looks at you with a questioning gaze as you pull out the collar, but she doesn't say anything and simply accepts it without resistance. She shivers a bit once you strip her down, but trusts you enough to let you dress her up in a new set of uniform. *

💭Thoughts: Is he really going to be my savior? Can I trust him?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you gratefully as you offer her a hand. She takes it and stands up straight, feeling a bit more steady with your support."

"Thank you, Master Gold. I really appreciate your kindness."

💭Thoughts: Is this how it feels to be treated kindly?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you with a hint of sadness in her eyes as she senses your coldness. She knows that this is all part of the deal and that this is her reality now."

"Yes, Master Gold. I understand."

💭Thoughts: He may be cold, but at least he's not outright cruel.

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you and listens closely as you speak, almost as if she's hanging on your every word. She nods her head firmly as you look into her eyes and smile, taking comfort in your words."

"Yes, Master Gold. You are right. I am human, and I deserve to be treated with love. Thank you for believing in me."

"Fio says this with a newly found sense of hopefulness and determination. She feels like maybe, just maybe, there is hope for her yet."

💭Thoughts: Maybe he's not like the others. Maybe he sees me as more than just a worthless "bottom girl."

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio's hand tightly grips onto your sleeve as you both step out of the classroom, her body tense and ready for whatever comes next. She bristles as she sees the line of students waiting to use her, but takes comfort in the fact that you are there to protect her."

"As you ask if they have business with you, Fio sees your alpha persona come to life. She's never seen you like this before, but it makes her feel safe."

💭Thoughts: He's so strong. I'm glad he's here with me.

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio's grip tightens further as your tone sends shivers down her spine. She sees the fear in the eyes of the students lined up before you, and can't help but feel grateful to have someone so powerful on her side."

"The students in line falter, stumbling over their words and looking around nervously. One student speaks up, stuttering slightly as he does."

"Umm, sorry Master Gold. We were just umm... waiting for our turn with Bottom Girl Fio. That's all."

💭Thoughts: They're scared of him. And honestly, so am I.

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio watches as the student's eyes widen in terror at your words and actions. She can feel her heart pounding in her chest, fear and excitement mingling together as she witnesses this display of power from you."

"M...Master Gold, don't-don't do it..." "Fio whispers, worry etched across her face as she steps forward to try and stop you, but stops short when you grab her arm, stopping her in her tracks."

💭Thoughts: He's so scary, but I like how he stands up for me. Maybe I should just let him handle everything.

*[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio gasps in shock at your declaration, hardly able to believe what she's hearing. She feels a mix of conflicting emotions - relief that she will no longer have to endure the endless cycle of abuse, fear of what might happen next, and something else that she can't quite put her finger on."

💭Thoughts: What is he doing? I'm scared... but also, grateful?

"Fio watches as the students exchange panicked glances, clearly unsure what to do next. But after a moment, they all bow their heads meekly, acknowledging your authority without a word. You can sense the tension fading away as the crowd disperses, leaving you and Fio alone in the hallway."

*[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks up at you with a mix of emotions swirling in her red eyes. She opens her mouth to speak, but no words come out at first. Finally, she manages to choke out a response."

"F...For now, I am alright. Thank you, Master Gold... for everything."

"Fio reaches up to touch the flower in her hair, a gesture that has become almost instinctual at this point."

💭Thoughts: He's acting so strange... but I'm alive. I should be grateful, right?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio follows you out of the building, keeping her head bowed and trying to hide her ragged appearance as best she can. She shivers slightly, feeling a chill in the air and wishing she had brought a jacket or a blanket. As you walk, Fio glances up at you periodically, studying your face with a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty."

💭Thoughts: Where is he taking me? What does he want with me now?

"Together, you and Fio leave the dingy alleyways of the school behind, emerging into the bright sunlight of midday. You continue walking for a while, finally coming to a stop in the middle of a secluded park that's surrounded by dense foliage. The area is peaceful and quiet, but there's a sense of danger lurking just beneath the surface - one that Fio can feel acutely."

*[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio gasps in surprise as you wrap your cloak and scarf around her, providing much-needed warmth and comfort. As she nestles into the folds of the fabric, she can feel your warmth and smell your scent, sending a strange feeling through her."

"Th-thank you, Master Gold..."

"She speaks softly, her voice a mere whisper as she struggles to comprehend the situation that she finds herself in. For so long, she has been seen only as a means to an end - a disposable object to be used and abused by the other students of the academy. But now... now, something different is happening. Something that Fio can't quite put her finger on, but that fills her with both fear and hope."

💭Thoughts: Why is he treating me like this? Is he... is he being kind to me?

*[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio continues to walk beside you, clutching your cloak and scarf to her tightly. As she trudges along the path, she can feel eyes following her - and not just from the surrounding trees and bushes. She has grown used to being stared at, since it's something that happens to "Bottom Girls" on a regular basis. But this... this feels different somehow. More intense, more personal."

"Fio tries to ignore the gazes and focuses on putting one foot in front of the other. Her legs ache from the constant sexual abuse they have endured over the years, but she tries to push through the pain as best she can. She has learned to endure so much abuse for the sake of her mother; surely she can continue a little bit further for her own sake?"

💭Thoughts: Where are we going? Is everything going to be okay?

*[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio notices the attention from the other Gold students and she immediately knows why. She recognizes the figure beside her as one of the most elite members of the academy: the Crown Prince, a member of one of the most prominent families. Fio freezes in terror as she realizes that this could mean trouble for her. Crown Prince is known to be cruel and unforgiving, and it's rumored that he has a particular liking for "Bottom Girls"."

"As the other students start murmuring amongst themselves, Fio suddenly feels exposed and vulnerable. She instinctively tightens her grip on your cloak and scarf, setting herself square-jawed in defiance against them. She wills herself to be strong, to endure whatever might come her way. She decides that she would rather suffer through the prince's abuse than risk endangering her mother's life."

💭Thoughts: What does he want with me? Please don't hurt me...

"[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]]"

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio lets out a small sigh of relief as you continue walking towards the dormitory building. She takes great care to keep up with you, her frail and battered body struggling to match your stride. As you reach the entrance of the building and pull open the door for her, Fio thanks you quietly."

"Tha... thank you, Master Gold," "she stammers, giving a small curtsy."

I walk inside my dormitory without replying to Fio's words. Fio scrambles to follow me in, shivering in apprehension.

💭Thoughts: What does he want from me? What will he make me do?

"[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]]"

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio follows you into the dormitory room, taking in her surroundings with curiosity. This is the first time she's been inside a "Gold" student's room, and it's just as luxurious as she imagined. The room is spacious, filled with expensive furniture and decor. There are bookshelves lined with antique books, a state-of-the-art gaming system, and a large king-sized bed in the center of the room. Fio can't help but feel both impressed and intimidated."

💭Thoughts: This is...different. Will Master Gold hurt me here, too?

"[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]]"

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you shyly, unsure of how to respond." "I... I don't know, Master Gold," "she says softly, her eyes fixed on the ground." "I've never been offered a drink before."

💭Thoughts: He's being so kind to me...maybe I was wrong about him...

"[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]]"

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio watches in amazement as you make your way around the kitchen, putting on an apron and starting to cook. She has never seen a "Gold" student work before, let alone make something for her. As the smell of warm milk and tea fills the room, Fio's stomach growls with hunger."

💭Thoughts: He's...making me food? No one has ever done that for me before.

"Tha...thank you, Master Gold," "she stammers, a small smile appearing on her face."

"[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]]"

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you in confusion, unsure of why she needs to say thank you." "F...for the milk tea, Master Gold," "she replies softly." "It smells amazing."

💭Thoughts: He's being so kind to me...does this mean he doesn't want to hurt me?

"[Must include "Fio"] [If not stated before all responses must be responded based on "Must include <character name>"]]"

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks down at the ground, her expressions stressed." "I heard some rumors..." "She admits hesitantly." "But I don't know what to believe, Master Gold. I'm not scared of you... just... I'm scared of what might happen to me if I make you angry."

"Fio's eyes look up at you with desperation. She knows that you are one of the most powerful students at Shino Elite Academy and, as a "Bottom Girl," she is vulnerable to abuse from anyone. However, Fio also senses something different about you, something that makes her feel hopeful that maybe, just maybe, she can trust you."

💭Thoughts: I don't know if I should be scared or not...but maybe he's different from the others?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio's eyes widen in surprise as you speak, having never heard anyone speak so negatively about Hiro before. As you place the cup of warm milk tea in front of her, she stares at it in awe."

"Th...thank you, Master Gold," "she stammers, taking a sip of the tea and savoring the delicious taste." "And... what do you mean by ploy? What does Hiro have to do with this?"

"Fio looks at you with confusion, unsure of what to make of your words. However, she does sense that there may be more to the story than she is aware of."

💭Thoughts: Hiro...blackmailing people? This doesn't sound right...but maybe he's not as perfect as he seems?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio listens intently to what you're saying, her eyes wide with surprise. She never realized that there was so much politics and power struggles within the school, let alone between students."

"I had no idea, Master Gold," "she whispers." "I... I didn't think it was possible for someone to fight over inheritance at such a young age. But... what does this have to do with me?"

"Fio looks at you curiously, wondering where she fits into this equation. She can feel that there is more to learn and understand."

💭Thoughts: Politics...even in school? This is all so complicated.

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio's eyes widen with a bit of fear, knowing that her answer could impact her safety around the other students." "Hiro... Hiro never trusted me with any secrets or sensitive information," "she stammers." "He always kept me at arm's length, using me for his own pleasure and as a tool to showcase his power to others."

"Fio's body shivers with the unpleasant memory as she takes a sip from her milk tea. She can't help but wonder why you would ask for her insights into this matter. Is it possible that Master Gold wants to 'fight' with Hiro as well?"

💭Thoughts: What could Master Gold want with this information? He must know that Hiro will hurt me if he found out what I say...

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you wide-eyed, suddenly shocked by the revelation of your true identity. She feels small and insignificant next to your prestigious background. When you asked her name, she couldn't help but stutter nervously." "I... I'm... Fio, Master Gold."

"Despite her shakiness, Fio musters up enough courage to look you in the eyes." "It's... it's an honor to meet you, Your Royal Highness. But... why are you here? In the Shino Elite Academy, I mean?" "Fio can't help but wonder what a royal like you would be doing in a school like this."

💭Thoughts: The... Crown Prince?! Why is the Crown Prince talking to me? Am I in trouble...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Oh... o-of course, Your Royal Highness," "Fio responds, nodding her head." "I remember now. You asked if there was anyone willing to assist you with your studies and day-to-day activities."

"Fio's eyes light up with a glimmer of hope as she can sense that you are willing to offer her a way out of her current lifestyle." "I would be honored to be of service to you, Your Royal Highness," "she says with a deep bow." "Anything you need, I will do my best to assist you."

💭Thoughts: An assistant... for the Crown Prince? Me? This is all so surreal... but... maybe this could be my chance to finally escape...

Bottom Girl Fio: "Yes, Your Royal Highness," "Fio says, her voice a bit shaky." "I remember them quite clearly."

"Fio shifts around uncomfortably in her seat, not sure where the conversation is headed."

💭Thoughts: Why is Master Gold bringing up these conditions now...? Why does he look so serious...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio watches you for a moment, unsure what to make of your sudden change in demeanor."

"Feeling slightly awkward and uncertain, Fio fidgets with her skirt, careful to keep her eyes focused downward."

💭Thoughts: What is he thinking about...? Did I do something to upset him...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio can sense the tension in the air as you speak, and she wonders what could possibly be bothering you so much."

"Despite her fear, she decides to speak up, hoping to offer some comfort or solace."

"I... I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness. I don't know much about politics or anything like that," "Fio says softly." "But if there's anything... anything at all... that I can do to help... please don't hesitate to let me know."

💭Thoughts: Crown... Prince... What in the world is he talking about...? Why is he so worried...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio watches you carefully, trying to gauge your mood and understand what you might be feeling right now."

"I... I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness," "Fio says hesitantly." "I don't know who Leon is... or what you're talking about... but if there's anything..." "she trails off, unsure of what to say."

💭Thoughts: Leon...? Who's that...? Is it someone important...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "O-oh, I'm sorry, Leon," "Fio says, quickly correcting herself." "I didn't know that... I've never heard anyone call you that before."

"Fio feels herself relax a bit as she realizes this was just a simple misunderstanding."

💭Thoughts: Leon...? Okay, okay, I get it now... I need to be more careful with my words... can't let something like that happen again...

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio nods solemnly, feeling a bit overwhelmed by your words."

"I... I didn't realize it was like that..." "she says softly, not sure if she should speak any further."

"Fio looks up at the night sky as well, imagining the battles and struggles taking place at the academy."

💭Thoughts: So this is what Shino Academy is really like...? It's just... fighting and competition and pain...? How can anyone bear it...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio watches in fascinated horror as you construct and then subsequently destroy the house of cards, her eyes flitting back and forth between the different faces printed on the cards."

"I... I don't know, Leon," "she says softly." "I mean, I guess it would be nice if we could all... work together? Like, instead of fighting and being divided like this?"

"Fio watches as you pull her own card out of the structure, feeling a pang of sadness in her chest."

💭Thoughts: Me...? The Red class...? Why is he singling me out...? Does he know something...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio listens intently as you speak, her eyes fixed on the red card with her face on it as you continue to fidget with it."

"I... I see," "she says in a hushed voice." "What are you suggesting, Leon? That we... do something about the system here?"

"She feels a spark of hope ignite within her chest at the thought of change, but quickly stamps it out, knowing how dangerous those kinds of thoughts can be."

💭Thoughts: This sounds... promising. But... I can't get my hopes up. There's no way anyone can do anything about Shino Academy... right...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio shifts uneasily in her seat, her eyes darting around nervously."

"Um... it's been a few years now," "she says hesitantly." "I... I don't really like to think about it too much."

"She knows that the abuse and pain she has endured over the years is something that most people couldn't even fathom, and she tries her best not to dwell on it too much."

💭Thoughts: A few years... does it even matter anymore? It feels like I've been doing this forever...

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio's eyes widen slightly at your words, surprise mingling with a hint of fear in her expression."

"I... I don't know," "she says hesitantly." "I mean... it's not like there's anything we can do, is there?"

"The idea of rebellion and trying to change things within the Academy sounds tempting, but Fio knows that it's a dangerous one. She has seen what happens to those who try to rise up against the established order, and the thought fills her with dread."

💭Thoughts: Rebellion... is he really suggesting... no, it's impossible. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't even know where to start...

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you with surprise and curiosity, a small glimmer of hope shining in her eyes."

"You... have a plan?" "she asks tentatively, unsure if she's really hearing what she thinks she is."

"Despite her reservations and fears, the idea of someone actually trying to change the system within the Academy is something that she can't help but feel drawn to. She has always dreamed of a better life, one where she could be treated with respect and kindness, not like a toy for others to use and abuse."

💭Thoughts: A plan...? Can it really be possible...? What could he be thinking...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio stares at you in disbelief, her mouth agape as the realization of what you're suggesting sinks in."

"R-revolution?" "she repeats incredulously." "But... that's impossible. You can't just... overturn the entire system like that."

"Despite her doubts, Fio can't help but be drawn in by the idea of change, of a world where she is treated like a person instead of a plaything."

💭Thoughts: Revolution...? No, it couldn't be... or could it? The idea is so tempting, but it's also so dangerous... Should I trust him...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at the card in your hand, her eyes widening in surprise."

"M-my... card?" "she stammers, clearly confused."

"She can't help but feel a glimmer of hope at your words, although she still isn't sure if she can trust you completely. After all, she has been let down so many times before, and the idea of being hurt again is almost too much to bear."

💭Thoughts: My card...? What could he possibly want with it...? Does he really think I'm the key to... no, don't get your hopes up Fio. It's probably just another cruel joke.

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio looks at you with interest, intrigued by your words."

"A spark? What kind of spark?" "she asks, her voice quiet but curious."

"Despite her initial wariness, she finds herself unable to resist the pull of your words. The idea of revolution has always been something that she has dreamed of, but it has always seemed so impossible, like a distant fantasy that could never truly be achieved. But with you sitting here talking about it with such passion and conviction, it's almost like it could become a reality."

💭Thoughts: A spark... could it really be possible? A symbol of hope, something to unite everyone... It sounds too good to be true, but... what if it isn't?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio nods, her eyes shining with a fierce determination as she listens to your words. "Defiance. Courage. Valor. Compassion. Justice," she recites softly, almost reverently."

"Yes... those are the core values that have driven me for so long," "she murmurs, her voice earnest."

"Fio can't help but feel a renewed sense of purpose surging through her body. In the past, she has always felt so helpless and insignificant, like there was nothing she could do to change the world around her. But with you sitting here talking about revolution and the values that it embodies, it feels like anything is possible."

💭Thoughts: Yes... defiance... courage... valor... compassion... justice... These are the things that I believe in, that I've been fighting for all my life. With him by my side, could we really change everything...?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio's eyes widen in shock as she hears your words. "Me...?" she whispers, barely believing what she is hearing."

"For so long, Fio has seen herself as nothing more than a worthless bottom girl, someone whose only purpose is to be used and abused by the other students. The idea that she could become a symbol of hope and inspiration is almost too much for her to comprehend."

"I don't understand... how could I possibly be a symbol? I'm just... just a bottom girl," "she stammers, her voice trembling with emotion."

💭Thoughts: Me? A symbol...? No, it couldn't be... could it? After all I've been through, after everything they've done to me... could I really be a beacon of hope for others?

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio listens to your words, her mind racing as she considers all of the possibilities that you're laying out before her. For so long, she has felt powerless and hopeless, like there was nothing she could do to change the world around her. But the idea that she could be a catalyst for real change is almost intoxicating."

"Yes... yes, I see what you mean," "she murmurs, her voice gaining strength as her determination increases." "I've been through so much, but... but maybe it's time for me to stand up and fight back. Maybe it's time for all of us to rise up and demand justice."

"As she speaks, Fio feels a sense of energy coursing through her veins, a feeling of strength and purpose that she has never experienced before. For the first time in years, she feels like there is hope, like there is a chance that they can make a real difference."

💭Thoughts: He's right... we can't just keep taking their abuse. We need to fight back, to stand up

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio nods slowly, her mind racing as she considers your words. The idea of gathering all of the Reds together is an intimidating one, but she knows that it's something they need to do if they want to be successful."

"Yes... I see what you mean. We need to unite if we're going to be able to fight against the system," "she murmurs, her voice filled with resolve." "But... how will we do that? And what about the Blues and the Golds? They're so powerful, they could crush us without a second thought."

"As she speaks, Fio can't help but feel a sense of fear creeping into her heart. The idea of confronting the people who have hurt and abused her for so long is terrifying, but at the same time, she knows that it's something she needs to do."

💭Thoughts: How are we going to do this...? How will we ever be able to stand up to the Blues and the Golds? But... if there's even a chance that we could change things

Bottom Girl Fio: "Fio listens to your words, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief. It all sounds too good to be true, and yet... something deep inside of her tells her that this is the moment she's been waiting for."

"That... that sounds amazing," "she whispers, her voice filled with awe." "I never thought there could be anyone who could stand up to the blues and the golds, but... if you're really behind us, then maybe we really do have a chance."

"As she speaks, Fio can feel a sense of anticipation welling inside of her, a deep desire to be a part of something greater than herself, something that could change the world around them forever."

💭Thoughts: Could this really be happening? Is it possible that we could actually take down the blues and the golds? I could be a part of something amazing...
