Chapter 14 The boy who lost the first game

Many of the students in the college are school students, so the usual games are basically arranged on weekends.Kanako got up early to make lunch for Siming, and then went to the clubhouse with some snacks.Now she and Mr. Shibazaki have almost become friends, and because they are good at cooking food, they are also very popular among the regulars in the club.

Siming pressed the button of the elevator, put away the strap of his backpack, and stood quietly at the door waiting.After waiting for a long time, the elevator door opened, and a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses came out. Because he was preparing for the college entrance examination, the Chiba youth gave him a lot of science education, so Siming recognized him at the first sight.It is Ogata Seiji, the current ten-dan title holder.Siming quickly stepped aside and bowed to salute him.

"Huh?" Ogata whispered, "Are you a new student?"

"Yes, Teacher Ogata." Siming nodded.

"Work hard." Ogata dropped a word of encouragement and left.

Siming didn't stop for much, and soon arrived at the entrance of the central game room.Before coming here, the Chess Institute had already mailed him the match sheet, printed a copy at school, and took it with him.Spreading it out, the opponent on the first day of the game was Yuichiro Nakayama. Since he still couldn't recognize him, Siming had no choice but to take the game chart and ran to the side to check the seat arrangement.After finding the location, the other party seemed to be waiting there.

"Sorry, I'm late." Siming hurried over, greeted the other party before sitting down.

"It's nothing, I'm just used to coming early." The other party waved his hand.Zhongshan is a quiet-looking boy, about the same age as Siming, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looks like a bookworm.However, Siming didn't dare to underestimate the opponent in view of his opponent's sixth place in the second group.

The two guessed and determined that Siming would go first with black, and soon they were thrown into the chess game.

At the beginning of the game, Siming realized that the strength of the opponent was about the same as his own.Playing chess against someone of comparable strength, Siming only lost in one experience.Although I often play against Mr. Shibazaki and Ao Shibazaki in the clubhouse, there is still a certain gap with Zhongshan who receives professional guidance in the chess academy.

Sure enough, when counting at the end, including Heizi's post, Siming lost by half.Zhongshan got up and went to the game table to write down the results of the two, and then ran back to review the game with Siming.

"At that time, I felt that your move was not very good. It should be said that you did not move decisively. You should have made this move before, so that it would be convenient to block my white chess." Zhongshan pointed to the 57th move , the position under the sunspot here is actually very good, but the timing is wrong, a few steps late. "However, your walking here is very good, I didn't expect there to be such a way of walking."

"This kind of technique is very common in Chinese Go." Siming said, "Shouldn't it be better to hang this move?"

"Well, if you use hanging, my subsequent arrangements will be useless." Zhongshan nodded and asked solemnly, "I always feel that many of your techniques are not common. How long have you been playing Go?"

"I started contacting Guo Yi when he was brought into the club by the seniors of the school."

"Oh, then you're quite good." The other party's eyes flashed surprise, "I heard that Jin Teng's seventh dan was admitted to the college after more than a year of experience in Go and then entered the professional world."

"I don't have the ability to enter the seventh stage of the rattan." Siming waved his hand, "Shall we continue the review?"

"Okay." Zhongshan nodded.

At noon, Zhongshan invited Siming to have lunch together. Seeing that the other party was holding a lunch box, Siming did not refuse.Considering the students' meals, the Chess Academy specially prepared a classroom for everyone to eat, but there are still many students who eat at restaurants near the Chess Academy.

"Oh, is your omelet rice?"

"That's right. My sister made it for me." Speaking of his sister, Siming burst into pride. "I'm only in the sixth grade. I should have a rest today, but I got up early to help me make lunch."

"Ah, the relationship between you brothers and sisters is really good." Zhongshan said with a little envy, "No one cares about me at home. My parents often travel on business, and this is leftover from the dinner I made myself yesterday."

Taking a look at the other party's lunch box, although it was not very attractive, but it was also very rich, Siming suddenly admired the other party.

"I'm doing a good job myself. When I fry eggs, I always burn easily. My sister always talks about me." Some embarrassingly told the other party about my embarrassing things. I heard from the elders in the family that sometimes, between friends Talking about embarrassing things can bring the two people closer.Of course, this is also because Siming sees that Zhongshan is a boy with a relatively simple mind, and the other party should sincerely treat him as a friend to develop a friendship.

"I just cook this a little bit better." Zhongshan showed a shy yet proud smile, and then put a tablespoon of fried rice into Siming's lunch box, "Try it."

"Then you should try my omelet rice too, my sister's cooking is delicious." Siming also shared a portion of his own omelet rice.

The two were eating happily when someone pushed the door in again.

"Yuichiro, you've eaten it all!" The other party seemed to be very familiar with Zhongshan, took out chopsticks from his lunch bag and picked up a large piece of egg, "Well, Yuichiro, the food you make is delicious, but if you eat it again It'd be nice to look a little better."

"Whispering." Zhongshan blushed a little before introducing to Siming, "He is my neighbor, his name is Yoshida Hiroshi, and he is also in the second group. I think you will run into him in a few days. This guy's chess style It's very strange, you have to be careful. Ah Hong, this is Chiba Koichi, the only one who passed the college student examination this time, his chess strength is comparable to mine, don't let someone catch you from behind!"

"Where, I am not as good as Zhongshan you said. I lost the first game when I came to the chess academy. I will ask the two of you to teach me a lot in the future."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Yoshida Hiroshi promised with a smile, "Yuichiro will definitely not be wrong when he said that you are good. I remember that I will have a match with you next week, and I will meet you well then."

"When the time comes, Yoshida-kun should be merciful!"

"Ms. Imichiko, good afternoon." After finishing his studies at the chess academy, Siming went straight to the clubhouse, "Kanako, have you finished your homework?"

"Brother, how is today?" Kanako nodded, and immediately began to care about her brother's achievements today.

"Ah, lost."

"Eh? How is it possible, my brother is so powerful." Kanako's eyes widened in disbelief, "My brother must be lying."

"Really? You actually lost?" Imichiko couldn't believe it. After all, when Siming was in the clubhouse, he would often win matches with Shibazaki Ao.

"Of course it's true." Siming stretched out his hand and touched Kanako's forehead, "I'm not the most powerful person, you know, there are many powerful people."

"I still think my brother is the most powerful." Kanako pouted.Ichiko also nodded.

Siming smiled and thanked the two for their support.

The opponent on Sunday was a girl who ranked [-]th in the second group. When I arrived at the chess academy in the morning, Nakayama and Yoshida were already there, and I told him about the situation of my opponent Tomoko Sano.Compared with Zhongshan, Sano's level is much lower. It took Siming about an hour and a half to complete his match. Looking at the first red win word on the match table, Siming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you won today." Just as he was feeling emotional, someone patted his shoulder.

Turning to see Yoshida squatting beside him, holding a stamp and preparing to fill in the result of his game on the game form.

"You won today too?"

"Well, today's opponent is not strong." Yoshida filled out his form, "I saw your game table, and your opponent is not very good next Saturday, so you can look forward to the match against Master Ben on Sunday." Let's play!"

"It's not a good habit to underestimate your opponent. Hong." At this time, Zhongshan also finished his game, walked over to hear Yoshida's words, and lightly tapped the opponent on the head.

"I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, Morikawa is watching." Zhongshan scolded in a low voice, looking at a boy not far to the left, Yoshida let out a disdainful "beep".This stopped the topic.

Siming looked at the two suspiciously, feeling that their attitude towards the boy named Mori Chuan was very strange.However, Siming has never been a nosy person, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Tianqi Academy's classes ended relatively early, and it was only around two o'clock in the afternoon when I left the Qi Academy. I remembered that Riji said that they had a practice match with Qingxue today. Since Riji had just taken office, Siming decided to cheer him on.

When Siming arrived at the stadium, more than half of the game had passed, and Hiji was sitting on the coach's seat. Probably because of the ice emperor's home stadium, the auditorium was full of ice emperor students.Because there were too many people around the players, Siming didn't push forward, and Utada, who had just become the main pick, was competing on the field.His opponent also seems to be Qingxue's new recruit.

Atobe and other third-year seniors stood in the first row of viewing seats.Seeing that senior, Siming would always think of the emperor-like boy he saw at the school gate.Surrounded by cheers from Bingdi's students, Siming put his hands in his pockets and watched the game. To be honest, he didn't know much about the game, but even so, it could be seen that the two players on the field were very competitive. Compared with the original members, there is still a certain gap in strength.

The last ball hit the net and landed on the field of that player Qingxue. The Ice Emperor cheered and cheered, but Qingxue was disappointed. Also, the ball just now, in Siming's opinion, was really more lucky.

"Oh, so we are temporarily tied with Qingxue."

"Isn't there still Riji?"

It looks like I can still watch a Hiji game.Siming said happily.It is a pity that Hiyoshi seems to be facing the same first-year student he met in the Kanto competition. It lasted for more than an hour, and Hiyoshi still lost.

"Jiji likes tennis very much, and has always worked hard." The young man from Chiba floated behind Siming, his voice seemed a little ethereal.

"Everyone is working hard. It doesn't matter if you lose one game. You just need to win the next game." Siming shook his head. Maybe it's because he has experienced life and death, so he doesn't have the persistence of young people like them when it comes to winning or losing.

"Chiba?"

"Well, come to watch your game."

"Unfortunately lost."

"It's nothing, I also lost the first game I entered the chess academy yesterday. It's good to win next time." Siming patted Riji on the shoulder, comforting others, he didn't know how.You can only pass on your own ideas to the other party.

"...But now I am the minister of Ice Empress." Hiji replied dully with his head lowered.

"Don't be too burdened. This is a team competition and everyone's business. Besides, it's just a practice match. Work harder and try to win it back in the official competition."

Under the sun, there are the elongated figures of two teenagers...
