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

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

The teacher who was in charge of the reception went out first, stopped by the shoe rack, and said to Su Ran, "Please change your shoes here."

"Oh, do I need to change my shoes? Okay."

Su Ran was somewhat surprised, then nodded, took off her shoes, and followed the teacher into the chess room used for the assessment.

Just then, a girl came out of the chess room crying. A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a suit comforted her, saying, "Please keep trying and strive for a better result next time."

The girl stood next to her mother, and she bowed to thank her, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

After saying that, she patted her daughter's shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, you've already tried your best. Try again next time. You'll definitely pass next time. Don't cry, Yumi."

The two of them brushed past Su Ran.

"Ah, it seems the assessment is over."

Upon seeing this, the teacher waved to the middle-aged man with glasses: "Senior, another student has arrived."

"Another child has arrived?"

The middle-aged man with glasses looked at Su Ran and smiled, "Okay, okay, this way please."

Su Ran vaguely remembered that the exam seemed to involve the teacher and the examinee playing a game of chess with a handicap of three pieces.

"Do I have to beat the examiners to become a graduate student?"

Su Ran couldn't quite remember the exam content, and Teacher Ikegami had never mentioned it to him either, because those seniors never imagined that he, as the son of the Go Saint, would be unaware of the rules for the Academy Student Examination.

"But the examiner is a professional high-ranking Go player. Even with a three-stone handicap, it would be difficult for him to win. No wonder..."

Su Ran recalled the scene where Kato Masao offered the three sons of Shindo Hikaru, yet still managed to force Shindo Hikaru to faint on the spot, and a sense of tension arose in her heart.

"This is the first time I've ever challenged a professional high-ranking player in a fair and square manner."

Although Akira Toya possesses the skills of a professional Go player, he is not a professional Go player after all.

Fujiwara no Sai, on the other hand, had already reached the top of the professional Go players.

However, Sai is not a professional Go player.

This was indeed my first time facing a professional Go player head-on... Thinking about it, I was quite nervous.

With that thought in mind, Su Ran nervously followed the examiner into the quiet chess room.

The chess room was quiet and clean, without even chess pieces, only a four-cornered chess table in the center.

"Please have a seat."

The teacher walked to the chessboard, knelt down, and said to Su Ran.

"Kneeling?"

Su Ran's heart skipped a beat when she saw the teacher's sitting posture.

Su Ran had absolutely no idea how to kneel in the Yingzhou style. He had tried it briefly before, but his entire leg went numb...

"I'm not going to have to kneel down too, am I...?"

Su Ran looked distressed and hesitated for a long time before finally having no choice but to follow suit and kneel down like her teacher.

"We need to finish the chess game quickly..."

"Otherwise, if this drags on, I won't be able to walk normally with either of my legs."

"Let's give it to the third son..."

Su Ran had just knelt down when she already felt a slight discomfort in her legs.

The examiner suddenly spoke up: "Student, please show me your registration form and your chess game record."

"Okay, just a moment."

Su Ran took three organized chess scores out of her bag and handed them to the examiner.

"Let me see... In the first game, is the black piece this kid named Hikaru Shindo? And you're the white piece?"

"Yes."

Su Ran answered truthfully.

The examiner looked at the first chapter of the chess score and slowly read through it. When he saw the first few moves, his brows gradually furrowed, and he secretly glanced at Su Ran.

"Hey, this is way too casual..."

"That opponent named Hikaru Shindo is so weak, like a beginner who has just started learning Go."

"Is this kid named Su Ran trying to fool me with this chess score?"

"Oh? Although the opponent is weak, Bai Zi's moves are very precise."

"The Demon Blade opening moves... Should I say this kid's skill is too strong, or that kid named Hikaru Shindo's skill is too weak?"

The examiner frowned and continued studying the chess score.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, after about twenty steps, the examiner's eyes lit up: "That kid named Hikaru Shindo, that hand wrestling move is quite interesting! Was it just a coincidence?"

Gradually, the examiner's expression changed continuously: from confusion to shock, and finally to complete freeze.

"Wonderful! This kid named Hikaru Shindo seems like a completely different person!"

"Moreover, even I was astonished by Bai Zi's response to such a strong opponent."

"How is this going?"

The examiners were engrossed in watching, while Su Ran, standing opposite them, felt uneasy but couldn't say anything, so she could only continue to wait.

"That was a brilliant game."

"It was just like a peak match between two top professional chess players, and even I couldn't help but feel excited."

"What about the remaining two games?"

The examiner picked up two more chess scores.

"Well……"

"Naruto Hirosue and Takeshi Gouda."

"These two games were rather ordinary, but the child's performance was still quite remarkable... Was the first game an exceptional performance?"

After a long while, when Su Ran's legs were starting to ache, the examiner finally put down the chess manual and looked at Su Ran with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

"Then, let's play a game of chess. Let's place three pieces."

Su Ran clenched her fists and placed three chess pieces on the three star positions on the chessboard without any hesitation.

He can't control that much.

Su Ran and Zuo Wei had never played this seriously since their last game.

Su Ran suddenly raised her eyes to look at the teacher, feeling the soreness in her legs.

"I'm going to take you down as quickly as possible, absolutely!"

……

Chapter 103 Soaring to the Heavens with the Chess in My Heart!

Su Ran was unaware that, in fact, this assessment did not require defeating the assessor.

For most children, even with a three-stone handicap, they cannot beat a professional chess player.

Therefore, the assessment only evaluates chess skills, chess strategies, and potential.

The examiner stared blankly into Su Ran's eyes.

"Good eye, kid."

"Trying to beat me on the chessboard?"

The examiner smiled as he reached into the chess box and the chess piece slowly fell to the ground.

Sixteen rows and seventeen columns.

On the next square after the star, the teacher placed his piece, silently probing Su Ran's moves.

Su Ran took out a black piece from the chess box and placed it down with a snap, responding to the white piece!

Hanging at the corner, seventeen columns and fifteen rows, Little Fly!

"Should we use a small flying hook?"

From this move, the teacher saw Su Ran's strong fighting spirit.

Unlike the point, the point maintains a blockade and divides pieces to prevent the opponent from pressing or escaping.

It also differs from Dafei's emphasis on lightness and agility, making his moves unpredictable.

Xiao Fei was clearly full of fighting spirit, intending to launch a fierce attack on Bai Zi.

"Then, my child, I look forward to you bringing me a different kind of chess game."

The teacher took out a white piece from the chess box and gently placed it on the chessboard.

Four columns and three rows.

Facing Su Ran's fiercely competitive Xiao Fei, the teacher chose to avoid the sharp edge and placed his piece in another corner, playing a seemingly insignificant move.

"So, what will you choose to do? Keep attacking? Like all energetic kids."

"The day you launch your attack on my lower right corner will be the day I reveal my true intentions."

Su Ran quickly placed her piece.

Sixteen columns and fourteen rows.

"They've launched an attack, just like all young people, so impatient."

The teacher acknowledged Su Ran's fighting spirit, but in his view, it was an unwise move.

"Indeed, if it weren't a handicap game, this child's move would have been flawless."

"First launch an attack in one corner, then proceed gradually."
