Happy New Year!! (*^▽^*)
Chapter 52 Sai's Desire, Shindo's Resolve, The Curtain Rises!
Chen Anxia's "Elephant Step" move caused Kaga Tetsuo to ponder for more than ten minutes.
However, these ten-odd minutes of deep thought did not allow Kaga Tetsuo to see the deeper meaning behind Chen Anxia's move; instead, it inadvertently increased the pressure he was under.
Cold sweat seeped from his forehead without his noticing.
Kimihiro Tsutsui, who was standing to the side, was somewhat stunned when he saw Tetsuo Kaga's appearance.
Kimihiro Tsutsui and Tetsuo Kaga were elementary school classmates and then became classmates again in middle school. Although they often quarreled, their friendship was very strong.
Therefore, Kimihiro Tsutsui would know that before the fifth grade of elementary school, Tetsuo Kaga was extremely passionate about Go, even to the point of being obsessed.
even...
However, after entering the fifth grade of elementary school, Kaga Tetsuo developed a strong aversion to Go.
Kimihiro Tsutsui was unaware of the reason.
However, in Tsutsui Kimihiro's memory, regardless of the changes before and after, Kaga Tetsuo hardly needed to think when playing Go.
Every movement of his hand as he placed a stone was fluid and precise, revealing Kaga Tetsuo's confidence in Go.
Kimihiro Tsutsui also fell in love with Go because of this, and he loved the cool, firm and confident way he held the stones and the sound of the stones being placed.
Naturally, all of these matches, witnessed by Kimihiro Tsutsui, ended in victory for Tetsuo Kaga.
This was the first time that Kimihiro Tsutsui had seen Tetsuo Kaga display such an expression during a Go game.
Unconsciously, Kimihiro Tsutsui looked at Chen Anxia with a somewhat dazed expression, and murmured softly, "This child... could he be even stronger than Kaga?"
In Tsutsui Kimihiro's daze, Kaga Tetsuo took a deep breath and tried to adjust his state of mind.
After that, Kaga Tetsuo stopped thinking for a long time, and instead picked up a white stone with a determined look in his eyes and slammed it heavily onto the board.
Snapped!
This white piece also embodies the spirit of Tetsuo Kaga.
Furthermore, the previously imposing beast leaped onto the white piece after it was placed, absorbing its momentum to become even stronger, and roared continuously at Chen Anxia.
Kaga Tetsuo is no longer bothered by Chen Anxia's move.
If you can't figure it out, then just stop thinking about it!
Kaga Tetsuo was confident in his chess skills and had prepared himself to counter each move.
In Kaga Tetsuo's view, as long as Chen Anxia's skill level did not reach that of Touya Akira, he was certain to win this game!
After Kaga Tetsuo made his move, Chen Anxia did not hesitate. He picked up a black stone, aimed at the point on the board that shone with the light of Go principles, and swiftly yet elegantly placed the black stone there.
Upon seeing this, Kaga Tetsuo's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he thought to himself, "Kid, I'll show you what my Go is all about!!"
In a flash, Kaga Tetsuo picked up a white Go stone and placed it on the board without hesitation.
An invisible tension emanated from the chessboard, adding a chilling edge to the already tense atmosphere.
In this atmosphere, many people unconsciously shivered, trying to dispel their discomfort.
Like Chen Anxia and Kaga Tetsuo, Kurozuki Ryoko, who had already embarked on the path of Go and begun to gather her own momentum, not only did not feel uncomfortable in this atmosphere, but also felt the blood in her body begin to boil.
At this moment, Kurozuki Ryoko desperately wanted to join this battle and compete with Chen Anxia and Kaga Tetsuo for the chessboard before them.
Unconsciously, Ryoko Kurozuki's aura also burst forth, forming a three-way balance with Chen Anxia and Tetsuo Kaga's aura.
However, the chessboard and the battlefield separate the three forces.
Therefore, although Chen Anxia and Kaga Tetsuo sensed the presence of another aura.
However, Chen Anxia and Kaga Tetsuo, who were completely absorbed in the game, did not have the time to search for the owner of that aura.
Among those present, besides Chen Anxia and Kaga Tetsuo, only Fujiwara Sai had the ability to find the owner of that aura.
However, Fujiwara no Sai had no intention of paying attention to this sudden third force.
Because Fujiwara no Sai's attention was completely focused on the game of Go...
No, I was completely awestruck and captivated by Chen Anxia's chess skills.
At this moment, Fujiwara no Sai's blue eyes, which shone with an air of nobility, were trembling. His face unconsciously revealed shock and disbelief as he murmured repeatedly, "It really is... so..."
As he spoke, Fujiwara Sai's shocked eyes unconsciously turned to Chen Anxia.
At that moment, Fujiwara Sai's gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, seeing the future and Chen Anxia, who had fully grown up.
Fujiwara Sai saw Chen Anxia standing at a height that even he had to look up to, holding a black and white chess piece in his hand, which was slowly falling in front of him.
The next moment, the vast and boundless cosmos was revealed to Fujiwara Sai from the black and white chess piece in Chen Anxia's hand.
It was an unimaginable power, and an indescribable awe and beauty.
This power, this awe and beauty, while making Fujiwara no Sai tremble, also deeply attracted him like a poppy, making him unable to extricate himself, and he unconsciously murmured to himself.
"Could this... be the divine hand I've been searching for?"
At the same time, an irrepressible desire welled up in Fujiwara no Sai's heart.
This longing transformed into a demonic chant, constantly echoing in Fujiwara Sai's mind.
'I want to play chess...'
'I want to play chess with Chen Anxia...'
Even though Chen Anxia hasn't fully matured yet...
......
Fujiwara no Sai knew why this desire had arisen in his heart.
Because, in the hands of Chen Anxia, this Go monster who has not yet fully matured, there is a high possibility that the rudimentary form of the 'divine move' is present.
This prototype of the 'divine move' is what Fujiwara no Sai truly desired.
At the same time, Hikaru Shindo, who had just come back to his senses from a daze, was surprised to feel Fujiwara Sai's desire.
This gives an idea of how intense Fujiwara no Sai's desire was.
After sensing Fujiwara Sai's desire, Hikaru Shindo couldn't help but recall the scene he had just witnessed in a daze.
Immediately, a strong look of curiosity appeared on Hikaru Shindo's face.
Hikaru Shindo was curious about where Fujiwara no Sai wanted to go, why Fujiwara no Sai was so eager to play chess with Chen Anxia, and so on...
Hikaru Shindo knew that the answers to everything he was curious about lay in...
With that thought in mind, Hikaru Shindo made up his mind.
Wait, after the match is over, let Anxia and Sai play a game together!
......
Chapter 53 Surpassing Akira Touya, an unstoppable monster!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
......
The game continued, but Kaga Tetsuo's moves became slower and slower, and sweat began to bead on his face.
Even more so, the sweat turned into beads, running down Kaga Tetsuo's cheeks and dripping onto the Go stones on the board.
However, Kaga Tetsuo was unaware of this and instead struggled to bear the immense pressure from Chen Anxia.
Under this pressure, Kaga Tetsuo seemed to sense that Chen Anxia, who was playing chess with him, was standing at a height that he could not reach, looking down at him.
That feeling of powerlessness and resentment, of only being able to look up in despair, made Kaga Tetsuo recall that game of Go that had filled him with despair, recall...
As he thought about it, Kaga Tetsuo's mind became somewhat dazed, and illusions even appeared in his eyes.
In this illusion, Kaga Tetsuo saw that the person sitting opposite him was not Chen Anxia, but Touya Akira, the one who made him feel despair.
Years have passed, but Akira Touya's expression remains as calm and sharp as ever, like a young lion. Although young, he is already showing signs of dominance, and he even bares his already sharp fangs at me, making me tremble and feel terrified.
Just as Kaga Tetsuo was lost in thought, he saw Chen Anxia holding a black piece, drawing a beautiful arc in the air before swiftly landing it on the chessboard like lightning.
Snapped!
The crisp, clear sound of the piece being placed brought Kaga Tetsuo back to his senses.
When Kaga Tetsuo was awakened, he no longer saw Touya Akira, but Chen Anxia with a solemn expression.
Kaga Tetsuo gave Chen Anxia a deep look, recalling the illusion he had just witnessed, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Will this guy become another Akira Toya?"
Then, Kaga Tetsuo looked at the black piece that Chen Anxia had just placed.
At the same time, Kaga Tetsuo reached into the Go box with his right hand, picked up a white Go stone, and prepared to place it.
But just as Kaga Tetsuo saw Chen Anxia's black piece, he seemed to realize something, his body trembled violently, and he abruptly stopped the move he was about to make.
The next moment, Kaga Tetsuo stared intently at the chessboard, as if confirming something.
Immediately afterwards, Kaga Tetsuo's pupils suddenly contracted and began to tremble, his expression filled with disbelief.
At the same time, Kaga Tetsuo's gaze swept rapidly across each point on the chessboard, his mind constantly rejecting, "This won't work... this won't work... this won't work either..."
In the end, Kaga Tetsuo was horrified to discover that he had no sons to lay.
Of course, it wasn't that he truly had no moves left, but rather that, in Kaga Tetsuo's view, no matter where he placed his pieces, he was already beyond saving.
Because Black's influence on the outside has grown without anyone noticing.
But when exactly did Black's influence on the outside begin to accumulate and grow? This is a mimicry game...
Thinking of this, Kaga Tetsuo seemed to realize something, and suddenly focused his gaze on Chen Anxia's change of move, his heart filled with shock and disbelief as he murmured, "Could it be... this move?"
In his shock, Kaga Tetsuo seemed to appear on the chessboard landscape.
On this chessboard-like landscape, Kaga Tetsuo saw the beast formed from his own aura, trembling and crawling on the ground, howling in agony.
