Cherish the time

In the subsequent games, Hikari Shinto and Ryo Toya triumphed all the way, and the two neat and beautiful white stars were extra conspicuous on the battle table.

Hetani Yoshitaka has already been stamped with 8 black stars - two of which are contributions from Hikari Shinto and Ryo Toya. It is estimated that he will soon miss the competition for the qualification of professional chess players.

Now, there have been 20 matches for the professional chess player examination, and the most competitive competitors in this tragic battlefield so far are: Wada Shoji 15 wins and 5 losses, Mashibamitsu 16 wins and 4 losses, Suzuki Takuya 15 With 5 wins and 9 losses, most of the rest have already surpassed [-] black stars, and the chances of a comeback in the remaining five games are not high.

And Shinto Hikaru and Toya Ryo's high-profile all the way Shirahoshi has already attracted the attention of a group of people.

Some people even noticed early that the match between the two was on the last day of the professional chess player exam - that is to say, on that day, one guy's unbeaten score would definitely be ended by Black Star.

Almost everyone was looking forward to the last day of the professional chess player exam with a secret mood of watching the excitement.

But until that day comes, the game will continue.

Today is the 21st game of the professional chess player exam, and there are only five games left before the deadline.

Many candidates who have confirmed that they will not be able to advance have relaxed their mentality now, and they just come here to practice and prepare for the next year.

But for the three who still have the possibility of qualifying, starting today is the final sprint stage.

Wada Shoji, Suzuki Takuya, and Mashibamitsu are all students in the same group. They usually see each other without looking up and down. The relationship is not good but it's not too bad, but at least nodding and saying hello when they meet is still good. Will do.

But today, the three of them consciously occupied a corner of the lounge and remained silent—this situation was a bit dignified, so most people went to the game room early when they saw this scene, and they didn't want to be in this battlefield without gunpowder smoke. Staying there, the rest of the people also quietly doing their own things without making a sound.

In this solemn atmosphere, the door was suddenly opened, and a bright and energetic voice rushed in quickly, breaking the silence of the room.

"...Ha! Speaking of which, there's a very interesting guy in the class next door to me, he..."

When the door was pushed open, Shinto Hikaru was talking to Taya Ryo about what happened in his school, and the latter was listening silently—although it looked expressionless, but if you look carefully, you can still see The corners of the green-haired boy's mouth that can reveal emotions are slightly curved.

Since he figured it out last month, Shindo Hikaru has been trying to integrate himself into the current life as much as possible.

Playing chess with Zuowei, joking with Xiaoliang, chatting with classmates...

He is integrating his heart and feelings with the real world in various ways, trying to get back the youthful mentality he once had.

Maybe it was because of the environment he was in, or maybe it was because he had an ageless heart. In short, it didn't take long for Hikari Shinto to gradually adjust his old man's mentality to adapt to his young and immature body.

Now he has the vigor and vitality in his speech that is similar to that of his peers. As for the childishness... I guess it can't be forced.

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the door, signed in, and put away lunch boxes. They didn't pay attention to the solemn atmosphere in the room that was about to form a lump, and they left again in such a harmonious manner.

The three confronting each other suddenly felt boring - the youngest among them was 17 years old, not only his chess skills were not as good as those of the two 12-year-olds, but even his state of mind... Could it be that he was not as good as him?

Wada Shoji touched his nose and stood up first.

His facial features are soft and round, somewhat blessed, with small eyes and round nose, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he does not look very shrewd.

Xu Shi saw Guangming and Liang's free expression, and felt that his attitude was really out of place, so he also left this uncomfortable room.

Now the rest of the room, apart from some candidates who listen to music, read books, and rest their eyes with their eyes closed—in short, a pair of outsiders, only Mashibamitsu and Suzuki Takuya are left.

——It happens to be a number 17 and a number 5, who are the opponents who will fight today.

Seeing Wada Shoji leave, Suzuki Takuya also didn't want to sit down anymore - he didn't sleep well last night, and this energy-consuming confrontation is really not a good thing for him who is in a poor mental state.

But Zhen Chaichong, how could he give up the good opportunity of being cheap.

Almost as soon as Suzuki Takuya's butt got off the chair, Mashibamitsu's voice sounded, "Suzuki, did you lose to Honda yesterday?"

"En." Suzuki Takuya responded lightly, without any disappointment or anger in his tone.

"Oh...it's okay, I was the same a few days ago—almost lost to him." Masaki continued to speak with a stick in his arms, Suzuki Takuya didn't seem to be interested, he just listened politely, occasionally Only one sentence fits.

Seeing that his reaction was so flat and soft, Zhen Chai Chong spoke more smoothly.

"It's exam time—"

When the exam broadcast started, Zhen Chaichong finally let Suzuki go, and followed him into the game room one after the other.

The smell of gunpowder between these two people is something that dexterous people can know without thinking about it, but they didn't expect Suzuki to be so tolerant, and he didn't stab Zhenchai back face to face, but it seemed that Zhenchai was narrow and short-sighted.

...but in fact Suzuki couldn't bear it - he was mentally ill and was too lazy to argue with this kind of guy, let it go after what he had heard, and he didn't even have any meaning to delve into it.

——The competition of professional chess players depends on the skills on the chessboard after all.

Having figured out this joint, facing Machai's provocation, he was not in a hurry to get angry.I didn't even want to retaliate with a word or two of lip service.

The two walked into the game room in silence, and knelt down opposite each other.

No matter how you think the other party is not pleasing to the eye, it is not something that you can roll up your sleeves and beat him up, but you have to be serious, and fight to compete with each other through four hours on the chessboard.

So the two saluted each other insincerely, and asked each other for advice insincerely.

Suzuki Taku held the chess pieces with his fingertips, closed his eyes and opened them again, his whole mind was absorbed in the chess game, and his whole body revealed a bit of sharp coldness.

On the opposite side, Zhen Chai Chong saw that his expression was cold, but he didn't show it on the face, but he didn't know what he was muttering in his heart-in terms of concentration, he had fallen behind.
