what is the opposite of chief/top in this paragraph???

A teacher in England is on trial for attacking a teenage student with a metal dumbbell. Peter Harvey, 50, is facing charges of attempted murder for the attack, which took place in July, 2009. The student, who cannot be named for legal reasons, suffered a fractured skull and severe cuts to his face. The boy, then 14, was repeatedly hit on the head with the 3kg weight. He was left unconscious and rushed to hospital. Students who witnessed the attack said Harvey’s anger seemed to give him extra power. They told the court that he was screaming, “die, die, die” as he was hitting the youngster. Harvey denies attempted murder but has admitted causing serious bodily harm. The case is a huge talking point among teachers and students in England.

The media reports the boy was a leading troublemaker in the class. He has a long record of disrupting lessons. The court heard the boy received a disciplinary warning nine times last year. Reports are he would try to make Mr Harvey angry and then use his mobile phone to take videos of him. He then mailed the video around the school. The constant bad behaviour caused Harvey to take time off work with mental health problems. He told a colleague he wanted to harm someone. A counselor told him he was too passive and needed to let his anger out. The judge asked the boy whether he thought it was funny to try to make a teacher angry who had been off ill. The boy replied: "There was nothing funny about him. What was funny was we were just having a good time with our friends."

You have posted two paragraphs neither of which contains chief/top. Please can you explain what you are asking a little more?

No.

[edited] Oh... I didn't understand your question originally, but now I'm wondering if you're trying to find, somewhere in the text you posted, a word that is somehow "the opposite of chief/top". Is that it?

The word 'leading' means the same as chief/top in this context, but I cannot find a word which means the opposite.

Do you mean 'opposite to ' or 'similar to'?
