Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

Su Ran nodded.

"Oh? Interesting."

Teacher Yin was curious about who that person was, but since Su Ran didn't say, he didn't press the matter further.

"So, are you planning to meet in the finals?"

Su Ran remained silent for a long time before nodding.

But Su Ran wasn't entirely confident either. It seemed unlikely that Takeshi Gouda would gain any advantage in this game, and as for Naruto...

This is a team competition, not an individual competition!

"Perhaps, we'll see you on the professional stage someday."

Teacher Yin smiled and said, "However, the students from Haiwang Middle School will not give up easily."

Su Ran looked at Hirosue Naruto with some concern and slowly walked over.

Teacher Yin wasn't interested in the games played by Hirosue Naruto and the Sea King captain; he simply lingered near the game and watched quietly.

He had witnessed Naruto Hirosue's strength in previous league matches, and even if he had improved recently, he was still no match for the captain of the Sea King.

Teacher Yin has great confidence in the Neptune commander.

Right now, in his view, the most suspenseful part is actually the second game.

The two sides were deadlocked and fighting broke out.

Su Ran walked behind Hirosue Naruto, and sure enough, Hirosue Naruto looked troubled as he placed each chess piece with difficulty.

"Damn it... this guy is too strong... I can't beat him..."

Hirosue Naruto gritted his teeth, clenching his fists tightly around the chess pieces, and stared at the chessboard without saying a word.

"Where is Kuroko's winning point? Where exactly is it? Where is it?!"

Naruto Hirosue was internally screaming and roaring.

But facing the Sea King's commander, the immense pressure and the impenetrable defense left Naruto with no way forward.

"Three years...it's been like this every year..."

"Why, why can't I see their backs at all?"

"If it's Su Ranjun, where would he land?"

Su Ran stood silently behind Hirosue Naruto, but Naruto, whose mind was completely absorbed in the game, did not notice Su Ran's presence at all.

"Where! I can sense that Kuroko still has a glimmer of hope, where is he!?"

Hirosue Naruto searched diligently, finally took out a Go stone from the Go box, and gritted his teeth as he placed it.

On the other side, the Sea King's commander also looked very bad. He was having a headache dealing with Naruto's relentless defense and counterattacks.

"This guy is like an unkillable cockroach, he's so annoying!"

"We can't just ignore it; if we give him a chance, he'll sneak in."

"Like flies, they keep buzzing around my ear. I could easily swat them away with one slap, but they just keep running so fast!"

Su Ran looked at the chessboard in front of her with some surprise.

Judging from the current situation, Naruto Hirosue was already on the verge of collapse, but he has managed to hold on until now.

He didn't play his favorite moves, but with each move, he managed to put up a fight for a while.

"Even after losing for three years, when facing Neptune High School, as he said, he was not afraid at all, but rather trembling with excitement?"

Su Ran glanced at Hirosue Naruto's trembling thighs and smiled.

Finally, after Naruto Hirosue's relentless escape and harassment, the Sea King's commander made a move.

Nine columns and twelve rows.

"Oh no, that's...!"

As soon as they landed, the Neptune commander suddenly realized the problem.

Naruto Hirosue stared at the nine columns and twelve rows, somewhat incredulous, and even hesitated to place his pieces further.

"Opportunity...?"

Hirosue Naruto's hands trembled, and the cold chess pieces were warmed by his burning palms.

This might be the last chance for the trolls who have already lost all their power!

Naruto Hirosue's previously bewildered eyes gradually regained their sparkle of hope.

"He made a mistake, I can win! I have a chance! I have a chance to defeat the captain of Neptune Middle School!"

"It's there!"

Naruto Hirosue's fingers trembled as he looked at that spot.

"But... is it really that simple?"

"A trap! Is there a trap?! I can see this move at a glance, how could the Sea King not see it?"

Naruto Hirosue's fingers, which were holding the chess piece, stopped in mid-air.

Sweat dripped from the forehead of the Neptune commander.

Su Ran held her breath as she watched that move.

He understood that this move was Black's only chance right now!

Once the opportunity is missed, the haters will have no chance to recover!

Naruto Hirosue hesitated and struggled.

Finally, after a long time, Hirosue Naruto mustered up his courage and pressed the chess piece hard onto the point on the chessboard!

Ten columns, nine rows, break!

"He discovered it! It's disconnected!"

The Sea King's face turned deathly pale, his breathing stopped, and he involuntarily bit his lower lip until blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

"That mistake... Why did I make that mistake!"

The Sea King's hands were slightly numb, and he murmured softly, his voice trembling.

"My supply has been cut off, and all my white pieces are now dead... No, I can still play. He's only slightly ahead. As long as I find his weakness, I still have a chance!"

The Neptune general trembled as he picked up the chess piece and continued into battle.

After a long while, the Neptune general gripped the chess piece tightly, lowered his head, and reluctantly admitted defeat.

"I lost..."

He could hardly imagine that after gaining the upper hand with that move, Hei Zi was like a fish in water, playing with ease and maintaining his advantage with the strongest stance.

Despite his superior skill level compared to Hirosue Naruto, he was completely unable to reverse this disastrous defeat!

Chess is like life; once a move is made, there's no going back.

One wrong move, and the whole game is lost.

Upon hearing the Kaio Middle School captain's resignation, Hirosue Naruto sat motionless in his chair, muttering in disbelief, "I won... I won... I actually... beat the Kaio Middle School captain?"

He himself couldn't believe that he would achieve final victory.

Naruto Hirosue suddenly turned his head and saw Su Ran behind him.

Su Ran said with a smile, "I saw it, it was a very exciting game."

“Su Ran-jun…”

Hirosue Naruto's body trembled slightly, his eyes blurred, and tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

Three years later, he finally avenged his loss to Neptune Middle School, and even defeated their captain!

This was a scene he never even dared to dream of before.

Only he himself knows how much effort he put in to make this day possible.

Meanwhile, Gouda Takeshi's side finally ended the battle.

The two sides fought for more than two hundred moves. In the end, the two generals of the sea king performed exceptionally well, found a loophole in Gouda Takeshi's hand, and launched a relentless attack. After deducting six and a half points, they finally won by a narrow margin of one point.

"Tch...we lost."

Takeshi Gouda was somewhat unwilling.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll help you advance!"

Overjoyed, Hirosue Naruto laughed wildly and swaggered toward the referee's table.

"Referee, Chuandi Middle School, two wins and one loss, advances!"

……

Chapter 89 begins! Fujiwara no Sai's counterattack!

Chuandi Middle School, two wins and one loss, advances!

As these words were spoken, even the players in the middle of the match were taken aback and turned to look at Hirosue Naruto.

"How is that possible!"

Someone stared wide-eyed in disbelief and said, "Haiwang Middle School was eliminated in the second round, and their opponent was Kawage Middle School?"

"This is unbelievable..."

"Kawaji Junior High School is a dark horse!"

The referee, stunned by Hirosue Naruto's words, asked again, "Tell me, who won between Kawaogi Middle School and Kaiou Middle School?"

"Kawagi, two wins and one loss, advances!"

Naruto Hirosue shouted triumphantly, wanting to vent all the frustration he had accumulated over the past three years!

The referees exchanged glances, confirmed the situation, and finally, the head referee, Masao Kato, announced:

"Kawaji Middle School, you've qualified! You've advanced to the finals!"
