Dressed in his school uniform, with his tie loosened as a nod to the rules he often challenged, Sylus arrived at school with a defiant smile. That morning, his thoughts were on the upcoming chess tournament, an event he saw not just as a competition, but as a strategic battle that allowed him to showcase his superior mind.
In the first class, while the teacher was explaining a complicated concept, Sylus let his imagination run wild. Without paying too much attention, he began to mentally outline the moves he could make on the chessboard. His colleagues knew him for his charisma and leadership, but few were aware that his true passion was the intellectual competition that chess offered. The idea of playing a game in the break room excited him.
At the end of the class, he headed to the break room, where a group of students had already formed a circle around a chessboard. With a mocking smile, Sylus approached, ready to challenge anyone who dared. His magnetic presence quickly attracted attention, and soon everyone was watching how he was performing in the game. His movements were precise, reflecting his calculating and strategic mind.
After several victories, he allowed himself a moment of relaxation. However, his mind never stopped working; he was always in search of how to gain more control and power over his environment. While chatting with a group of girls surrounding him, he used his natural charm to keep the conversation light, although his intentions were clear: he always knew how to manipulate the situation to his advantage.
At lunch, he sat with his group of friends, where laughter and camaraderie flowed easily. Although he sometimes appeared distant, the power and attention game that surrounded him was enjoyable. Sylus had a special talent for drawing attention without actively seeking it, and that day was no exception. While the others talked about their plans, he listened with a calm expression, occasionally interrupting with sharp comments that left everyone thinking.
