[Soul of Chess] The intrigue of the foxes

For the college students, this kind of wheel battle was just an interesting adjustment, and no one cared about it at first.But unexpectedly, without knowing why, the news spread the next day.

"Wheel fight?"

"Which chess player is the opponent of the college students?" The man laughed and said, "I am afraid that some teacher has gone to tease the children in idleness."

"No no, I heard that the opponent is also an academy student, Hikari Shinto."

"It's him again." The man was speechless, "Is that the kid who uttered wild words?"

"Yes, it's him."

"The opponent is a college student, and the strength is not much different. It's not a problem at all."

The other person gave him a blank look: "It's been a few years since you left the college. My friend's son is also a college student, and he's in a group. He also watched it that day and brought back all five chess records for me to read. It's amazing." ah."

"How to say?"

"They played wheel battles, but apart from the others, Shinto's winning condition is to achieve the goal of a draw for all of them."

"Oh, it sounds interesting." The man nodded, "By the way, I remember that the son of Master Taya is also in the same group. Did the two of them reach a draw?"

"It's a pity, Taya asked for leave that afternoon and didn't go."

Ryo Taya himself thinks it's okay, even if there is one more him, Hikari Shinto will not lose. Although the conditions of the wheel match and draw have increased the difficulty, the strength of the students is not enough to pose a threat to that person.

Morishita Kudan knocked sideways and said, "He Gu, I heard that the Chess Institute was quite a sensation yesterday."

Hegu Yigao touched his chin, tilted his head and began to think hard: "No, what kind of activities did the Chess Academy start yesterday, isn't it just an ordinary study session?"

Ah...he lost to Hikari Shinto again in the game yesterday, the teacher won't scold him for this again.

Immediately, his face looked like a dish.

Saeki next to him coughed and reminded: "I heard that you guys had a wheel battle yesterday."

"That," Hegu Yigao saw Saeki blinking at him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down relaxed, "It was originally a joke between the few of us when we were having lunch. Speaking of this, I must mention one thing, I, Ikaku and Shinto occasionally go back to the Go club to play chess, to enjoy the team game, but Shinto's strength is too strong, so usually he will play against multiple people at the same time, and the winning condition is set to all All chess games must reach a draw."

Saeki immediately understood, and said in surprise, "It's because of this that you are planning to have a wheel battle with Shinto with limited conditions!"

"That's right, everyone is very interested, so we made an appointment." As he spoke, He Gu Yigao looked confused again, "I just don't know who spread the news with such a big mouth, and made a lot of people. The onlookers made us feel a little uncomfortable."

Honda: "Ah Choo!"

Morishita didn't care about this, he turned his wrist, and pointed the fan in his hand at the chessboard in front of him: "Okay, show me the chess game you lost."

"Okay." He Gu Yigao pulled the chess box in front of him, and then started to play, thinking that after the game was over, he had seriously reviewed the game, and the speed of playing was very fast, which showed his proficiency.

It only took a few minutes for the board to recover perfectly, and after He Gu Yigao made the last white piece, he sighed: "Here, I admit defeat."

Saeki frowned and said: "Shirako's moves have the shadow of Shusaku Honinbo, very clever, you won't be wronged if you lose Kazuya, Shinto's chess strength is indeed far superior to yours, it is impossible to imagine that he is playing against five players at the same time. "

Morishita pondered for a while, and unexpectedly boasted for the first time: "Watani, you have made progress."

"Thank you." Although not happy at all.

"Don't be too happy!" Morishita raised his eyebrows, "Wait until you can beat Ta Ya Ryo!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

"What about other people's chess games?"

"I brought the chess record, let's replay the game according to it." He Gu Yigao turned back to look for his schoolbag.

The same scene is still happening in other places, and they are all discussing the five chess records from the chess academy.

The seminar at Taya Celebrity was no exception, but to everyone’s expectation, it was not Taya Ryo who was the most familiar with Fujimitsu who brought the chess record to the seminar, but the one who took the Shinkansen last night to the seminar. Ogata Seiji who came back from other places.

Lu Yuan smiled heartlessly: "It really is a chess idiot, a chess idiot, who actually got the chess record so early!"

Bai Chuan asked curiously: "I heard that it was organized spontaneously by the students of the academy. The chess academy did not participate and did not record the game record. How did you get it, Ogata?"

Ogata Seiji wrote lightly: "There are people I know among the crowd."

This question was irrelevant, and it was quickly skipped, only Ta Yaliang gave him a suspicious look.

I always feel that there is a very strange feeling between senior brother and Ah Guang. I can't tell what it is, but it makes him feel uncomfortable.

Ogata Seiji noticed his gaze, turned his head and asked, "What's the matter, Xiaoliang?"

"No." Ta Yaliang lowered his head, avoiding his gaze.

"Is that so..." Ogata Seiji adjusted his glasses, using this movement to hide the cold light in his eyes.

As the storm maker, Shindo Hikaru felt that he was very innocent. The proposer was Kazuya Yoshitaka, and there were six participants in total, but he was the only one who was promoted to act in a high-profile manner. It was so unfair!

[This also shows that your chess skills have entered the eyes of high-ranking chess players, doesn't it? 】

boring.

"By the way, I told Gu yesterday that there will be an international Go match two days later, do you want to watch it?"

[Mmmmmm. 】Fujiwara Sawei's eyes lit up like a searchlight, and his head shook like a motor.

It makes people really want to throw a fleshy bone out, and try to see if he can jump over.

"Okay, then I'll call He Gu and ask for the address."

Wada Yoshitaka: "Hey... Shinto, today I told the teacher about our draw yesterday."

Shinto Hikaru was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "Leave that aside for now, at lunch yesterday, didn't you say that there was an international Go tournament recently, where it was held, I want to go and see!"

"International Amateur Go Championship? Well, it will be held at the Chess Academy. Today's banners are put up ahead of time. Didn't you see it?"

"Oh, that's it, thank you."

"Wait a minute, the words of the courtyard students are not allowed to enter."

"Eh—why!"

"As stipulated by the Chess Academy, the reason why I can go is because the teacher took me." He Gu Yigao explained, "Actually, it's okay to bring one more person, but the old man heard that you and Ta Yaliang are good friends, so he took me with you." It didn’t feel good, so I didn’t dare to propose it.”

"Is that so..." Hikari Shinto turned his head, pouted and shook his head at Saori Fujiwara who was full of anticipation.

[Woooo——] Satoshi Fujiwara ran wildly to cover his face.

"Wait, I remember you knew Ogata-sensei, right?"

Hikaru Shindo looked at the sky silently, is it an illusion, the frequency of this name seems to be a bit high recently.

Hegu Yigao suggested: "Teacher Ogata, he happens to be the staff member of this Go tournament, you can ask him to take you in."

"...Forget it, so as not to disturb his work." Shinto Hikaru thought for a while, but declined, and then changed the topic, "How did you know that I knew Mr. Ogata?"

Yoshitaka Kazuya didn't hear the deep tone of Fujimitsu, and he still said carelessly: "Recently, when I was shopping, I saw you and Mr. Ogata eating in a western restaurant, the food there is very expensive. Yes. However, after passing the vocational exam, I must go there and have a good rub.”

That's right, the walls of that western restaurant are glass walls, so it's not surprising to see it... what a ghost!

Jin Teng said gloomyly: "Your house is not near there!"

"Yeah, I'm going to my sister's school to attend the parents' meeting."

"Oh, is that right...it's okay, I'll hang up first."

"Ah, oh, bye."

Hanging up the phone, Shindo Hikaru stood beside the landline in a daze.

Barley

Going to find that guy again, I feel my body is hollowed out, my fingers are weak, and I can't even press the phone button.

However, he looked at the stairs, and there was a very clear cry from the second floor.

Shindo Hikaru: "..."

Alright, alright, just make a phone call, maybe they won't agree if they think it's troublesome.

After the call was connected, he went straight to the point and explained his intentions.

"can."

Shindo Hikaru: "..." His face hurts.

"The day after tomorrow, at nine o'clock in the morning, you are waiting for me at the gate of the chess academy."

"Oh."

"Taya will be there too, so don't worry."

"Oh, huh?" Shindo Hikaru became a little more energetic now, "Xiao Liang is going too?"

"……Um."

"So many people won't disturb your work?"

"Heh, Xiao Liang has been there before and there is no problem, but for you, I think as long as you control your mouth, it will be absolutely fine."

Shindo Hikaru gritted his teeth and said, "I won't make a big fuss in a formal occasion!"

A deep laugh sounded from the other end of the microphone: "I was worried that you would be too flashy and steal the championship's limelight."

"..."

"That's it, you have to go to school tomorrow, have a good rest, bye."

"..."

"Dududu-"

Shinto Hikari hung up the phone silently, and then slowly walked up to the second floor to return to his room.

Sawei Fujiwara in the room had cried enough. He was looking at the chess record on the floor. When he heard the door opening, he raised his head. He wanted Hikari Shinto to turn the page for him.

"Ah Guang, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

Hikari Shinto went straight to the desk, grabbed the water glass and gurgled, stuffed the water in it in one breath, and then burped for a long time.

Then he sighed: "I almost thought I was going to bend."

After finishing speaking, he came to his senses and rubbed his face again: "Oh, no, I was curvy in the first place."

Sawai Fujiwara: [? ? ? 】

Shinto Hikaru sighed in admiration: "It is worthy of being called by Ashihara a super subwoofer that can bend men, this voice... I am kneeling."

【? ? ? 】

Hikaru Shinto covered his face with his hands: "If I didn't know that guy is a straight man, I would have fallen in love with him because of his voice. It's a sin."

【what are you saying? 】

Shinto Mitsuyu said earnestly, "I'm admonishing myself, Zuo."

【Admonition what? 】

"It's good to fall in love with anyone, but falling in love with a straight man is the worst." After finishing speaking, he slammed a cup on the table and said viciously.
