In a still hot summer at the end of July, Erina gave birth to Ogata Celebrity's first child, a fat boy weighing seven catties, in a hospital under Ninzuru.Master Ogata's grinning, silly father image made several students feel disillusioned.

"I dare say, I've never seen such a...uh,..." Shibasaki turned his head to look around, then lowered his voice, "Such a silly smile."

"After all, he became a father." Nakae, the only one among the few who got married, gave Shibazaki a look, "When you have your own child, you will be just as stupid."

"Yo, Nakae-san, you are..." Shibazaki reached out to hook Nakae's neck, and winked at him mischievously, "I feel the same way?"

"Okay, Ah Cang, don't act like a child. Qianye is more mature than you."

Siming, who has been following behind pretending to be a passer-by, feels that he is very innocent to be singled out for comparison.

At the end of August, Kurata won the title of Grand Sage, and there was an important event in that year—the Celebrity War kicked off again.

"So, you basically don't have much time to go to class this month?" Riji walked beside Siming, carrying his schoolbag.After winning the runner-up in the national competition, he handed over the position of minister to Xiao Mu, and started semi-retired club activities.Although I failed to lead the ice emperor to win the championship, I am a little regretful. "With such a busy schedule to participate in the competition, your results are pretty good."

"Yeah." Siming nodded, looking at the slight regret on his friend's face, he knew that he was thinking about the national competition again, "Xiao Ruo, the national competition is a team competition after all, you don't have to put all the responsibility on yourself Come on. What's more, when Hyotei is improving, other schools are also improving, as long as you do your best. I think even Atobe-senpai thinks the same way."

"I don't bear any responsibility, I just feel a little regretful." Riji pursed his lips, "Don't worry, I will get used to losing. When I enter the profession in the future, I will only lose more games than now. No matter how much I like it' "The following overcomes the above', so you won't lose sight of your own strength."

Looking at the teacher's thick stack of leave notes that belonged to him, Siming felt a little guilty.

"Okay, I know you have a competition, so you don't have to look at me so emotionally." The nursing teacher laughed and teased Siming, "This year's grades are good, and it seems that there is no problem with getting a scholarship. Come on, study well , a Chiba chess player who is also good at Go."

"Hi, thank you teacher."

Watching Siming leave the office, Jiahu took the homework book beside him and continued his work of correcting just now, "Oh, why is there such a big gap between people." Looking at more than half of the red crosses on the homework book, adding The nurse shook his head. A person who often takes leave to go out to compete can still maintain the top ten grades in his grade after returning to school, while the other is in school every day, and his grades are still so precarious. Is it really because of his low IQ?He looked at the name on the exercise book with a little worry, and asked if he wanted to talk about life with Jiu Chuan-san tomorrow.

"This move, what did you think at the time?" At the end of the game, Kuwahara Shin pointed to the No.60 move of black chess, which was somewhat incomprehensible.Obviously many ways out here are blocked by himself, why can black get out of the encirclement in the end?

"Actually, when I made this move, I didn't think much about it. I was paying attention to the attack of the middle belly." Siming clicked on the nine hands of the middle belly, "This move is completely put there temporarily for future defense and victory. Yes, whether it will be useful or not was not certain at the time.”

Although Siming's calculation ability is good, he still can't achieve the kind of number that can judge the final victory or defeat in the middle game.For him, No.60 was his bet. Fortunately, he won this time.

"Oh, Tian Yuan, it's not a good habit to gamble." Kuwahara Shin shook his head, as if he didn't agree with Siming's approach.

"No, no, no, under certain circumstances, it is still allowed." Obviously, as the elder brother, Kuwahara Hitoshi and his younger brother have different ideas, "Shen, we can't be completely sure that every step will have the effect it should produce. It is a bold attempt to take a gamble when you are uncertain. Our Tian Yuan is not a defensive chess player. Compared with defense, his offense is better. Judging from the following chess game, This move is very exciting." Kuang Yuanren, who has more actual combat experience, can see Siming's progress in the past two months better than his younger brother. Create trouble.

"Okay. But I still insist on playing chess more steadily."

Because he was the last to be eliminated in the last Celebrity Tournament, so this time Siming had to step up from the preliminaries again.

Siming was sure that if he followed the state before going to China, he would probably be eliminated in the bc stage.

After returning to Japan, it was not until the end of the final exam that Siming had time to resume the online contest with Hong Xiuying.It's just that Hong Xiuying is not used to playing Go with the addition of Chinese philosophy.After complaining a few times, Siming realized that his opponent had suddenly changed.

At the beginning, Siming was not sure, but when Siming was exposed to the domineering attack with the momentum of sweeping the world, Siming was sure that the person sitting on the other end of the network should be Gao Yongxia, who had once defeated him.

In Tai Chi, softness is emphasized to overcome rigidity. To deal with Gao Yongxia's fierce attack, the best way is to take advantage of the trend, restrain the opponent's attack in a winding way, support the opponent's footsteps, and grasp the rhythm of the entire chess game.

This game lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.He didn't even bother to eat dinner, and Hiji delivered it to the room.

When the word "win" flashed on the screen, Siming knew that the influence he had received before had really disappeared.

"Come to South Korea if you have the chance, let's meet face to face and compete again."

The other party's message made Siming smile, "There will be a chance."

Successfully defeating Gao Yongxia made Siming calmer in the face of the opponents in the preliminaries. "Victory is a joy, but defeat is also a blessing." When winning or losing is no longer the only goal of Go, Siming found that the world he can see seems to be wider.

In October, before the battle between King Zuo and Tian Yuan, the 10 contestants of the Celebrity Contest were finalized.

"Oh, this time Yuki was replaced by Ochi." Because Yuki was eliminated earlier because of losing to Shirakawa, this time He Gu did not meet his senior brother again, but unfortunately, he was still eliminated by his own Ochi at the same time up.

After more than a year in the profession, Siming seldom played against each other. He only knew that the opponent was a chess player who paid great attention to winning and losing, and his chess skills were also very good.It's just that Ochi is obviously less threatening than Shinto.

Siming even found out the chess game between Ochi and Sha in the Beidou Cup qualifiers several years ago. It should be said that his chess was very stable. It's just that he was a little bit restrained in dealing with it.

"Grandpa, have you ever played chess with Ochi-san before?"

Kuwahara shook his head, "It's rare to meet that little guy, I heard he is a very interesting kid." (One night: Yeah? Could it be that Mr. Kuwahara has also heard of Ochi's weird hobby? Kuwahara: Oh oh Hoho...)

"Don't get used to looking through other people's chess records every time you meet a new opponent. Habits and strengths will change. If the opponent doesn't play chess according to the routine, you won't be able to deal with it?" Although this attitude seems very Seriously, but Kuwahara Shin felt that he couldn't let his grandson develop this habit.

"Uh, Grandpa, there is a saying in China that if you know yourself and know your enemy, you will win a hundred battles. What I need to do now is to know your enemy." Siming continued to study Ochi Tongshe's chess game without any intention of improving it.In other words, this chess game is actually not typical, and there is not enough data to fully analyze Ochi's chess style.

Thinking of Yi Jiao, He Gu and others, and Ochi should be classmates in the chess academy, Siming immediately put his mind on these two.

"You want to inquire about Ochi's chess style?" He Gu stared at Siming.

Siming nodded.

"Then why didn't you go to Shindo? Logically speaking, it should be more convenient for you to get in touch with him."

I'm treating the other party as an imaginary enemy, and I don't want to go to the door to seek abuse, but it's not easy to say this kind of thing.After all, Yijiao is also his opponent in the round robin, and when he said this, it seemed to look down on him.

"Hehe, I forgot."

Both He Gu and Yi Jiao showed an expression of believing that you are a ghost, but the two of them did not continue to ask further in a very gracious manner.

The match between Siming and Ochi was arranged not early. Before him, he had to face Morishita, Zama, and Taya.

Morishita is Hetani's teacher. During the Masters last year, Siming conceded defeat when he only lasted to the middle of the game under the opponent's hand.The opponent's chess is very thick and powerful.At that time, it was taken very badly because of the opponent's momentum.

Under the guidance of Mr. Liang, Siming gradually learned to face the chess game with a normal mind.When facing Morishita again today, the heavy oppressive feeling from last year seemed much less.

"Morishita-sensei, please give me your advice."

The opponent's chess is much more stable.After entering the middle game, Morishita couldn't help but nodded at Siming's solid defense. From last year's Masters to this year, there has been such a big improvement in one year. Sure enough, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Kuwahara family.

In the end, Siming lost to Morishita by two and a half eyes.After the chess game was over, Morishita showed his seriousness during the game, and praised Siming very kindly. "Much more serious than He Gu."

Siming silently lit a piece of wax for Hegu in his heart. Poor guy, he probably will be criticized again at the next seminar.However, He Gu Sang, I am helpless.

In the second round, against Ta Ya, Siming was also not sure of winning, so he let go of the fight.On the contrary, many wonderful chess moves were made.As soon as the game ended, Taya dragged her to resume the game.

What exceeded his expectations was the match against the former Throne.He heard that Taya Ryo's opponent in the first stage was Zama, but the current title of throne in Taya's hand was also taken from Zama.

It is said that at that time, Taya was also determined to seize every inch of land, and he attacked very quickly. At the beginning, Zama was indeed caught off guard, but he was quickly overturned by the opponent.Looks like a veteran chess player too.

Holding the idea that it is impossible to win anyway, just as an experience, in the end, he actually won with a half-goal advantage, which is really a surprise.

After happily telling the results to the two old men.Kuwahara Hitoshi should have told Siming in such a tone: "That guy in Zama, his strength is good, but he is not very stable. He must go back and change a fan again. Tsk tsk tsk, that habit is not very good."

In other words, Grandpa, how gossip you are, everyone knows the inevitable reaction after losing chess.

In short, after defeating Zama, Siming was suddenly invincible, showed his might, and then won the title of celebrity... This, of course, is impossible.

Siming raised his eyebrows and looked at Chiba Apiao, who was daydreaming, "Even if I beat Yijiao today, it's only three victories at most. Are you a bit early to be happy?"

[Three victories, aren't you happy, Asi?At least last year we could only win one. 】

"If you don't get the right to challenge, there is no difference between one win and three wins."

The young man in Qianye suddenly became gloomy. Asi, Nai's requirements are so high... After two years in the stage, he will be a celebrity or something... I can't imagine it!
