Matthew's POV
This is what he does in two days time? Wow does Mark have a lot of free time, the room itself was amazing enough as it is, but how did they make things like this this fast?
'Okay, who's ready for a little training?' Mark began, 'you guys really give John a headache when he tries to sustain the system you so mercilessly beat up, so he made separate "sectors" for each of you,' with that, coupled along with a long few moments of tapping on the screen, 'sorry, getting used to this,' he laughed awkwardly, after a pause, coloured rings appeared on the floor, I counted 14. 'Right, each colour collates to your power,' he began listing us off, then he came to me, 'Matt, your pink.'
'Alright, why pink?' I start,
''Cos you control girls, and girls stereotypically like pink or are associated with it,'
'Okay, then.' I say with no argument, and so it began,Stepping into my ring, I looked around for any action cues. A table rose and on it appeared a screen with a chess board.
'Mark, what the hell?' I groan, he comes over from his own station,
'Yellow?' He greets,
'How do I use my power in this situation?' I moan,
'Boy, aren't you a whiner today,' he smiles, 'wait there a sec,' he led off to go retrieve his tablet, he came back and tapped the screen a few more times, small blocks raised from the segments of floor behind us, 'sit,' Mark gestured,
'Okay, are we playing a game?' I ask,
'No, we are going to have a tea party, you're the princess,' he grinned sarcastically, 'first move to you,' he said,
'Alright,' I moved my first pawn, so did he,
'Your power is centred around your mind,' he began to explain as the moves began to slowly pile in, 'it allows you to reach out to others' minds, to remove the limit set on your mental capacity,' I took this all in, each move even more of a challenge than the last,
'Right, so what is the point of this?' I ask, pieces being taken and moves being made,
'The point is that you need to train your mind, just using your power will make you get used to the fact that you are still inexperienced,' he was surprisingly good at this all of a sudden,
'How is this helping me? I question,
'Chess requires the need to think ahead, to oversee all the "what ifs" and the current situation,' I had to think through my moves, but he seemed to just make his right after I let go of the piece in my hand, 'and so maybe, things like this can help you expand your range of thought and action, change the situation around if you will,' then he made the final move, 'checkmate.' I stare at my king, completely surrounded,
'How?' Was all I could utter,
'Think outside the box,' he smiled, showing me his tablet, it was our chess board with "difficulty 10" written beside it, 'I was never making a move, the computer was.' He explained, 'this segment was designed for you only, it would take ages for me to figure out how to manually move the pieces, so I just watched the match with a keen eye,' he winked.
'You fucker!' I laugh,
