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

At the classroom door.

The teacher who had previously examined Su Ran was the same teacher who guided the students at the chess academy. His name was Bencun, and he had already arrived at the classroom at some point.

"Hmm...they're all very obedient and playing on time."

Seeing that the children were all playing their games on time, the village teacher nodded in satisfaction.

"Oh, by the way, have Akira Touya and that kid arrived yet?"

Teacher Honmura suddenly remembered Su Ran and Akira Touya from the recent intern assessment and began searching for them.

Soon, Mr. Honmura's eyes lit up as he spotted Akira Touya and Su Ran.

"Go check out this kid's chess..."

The village teacher's eyes flickered as he silently approached Su Ran from behind. He was still resentful about losing the last game of chess with a handicap.

"Hmm... I just made three moves, was it a star point opening?"

The village teacher nodded to himself, pondering the matter.

"Uchida is in Class 2 and his strength is quite good, but he'll probably be at a disadvantage against this kid."

The image of Su Ran and his own game uncontrollably flashed through the mind of Teacher Bencun.

"As long as Uchida stays calm, his opponent is no ordinary person."

At this moment, Uchida made his move again.

Sixteen columns and fourteen rows, skip.

At the star position, it jumped one square and placed a black piece.

Mr. Honmura nodded secretly. This was the layout that Uchida was most skilled at, which was not commonly used, but was favored by Uchida.

"Uchida is probably trying to win by surprise, isn't he?"

"If we don't understand, this child named Su Ran might suffer some hardship..."

"Forget it, let's go check out Akira Touya's game. We can't figure out anything from this game in a short time..."

As the village teacher was thinking this, Su Ran suddenly placed a chess piece.

Three columns and three rows, three by three.

The village teacher, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. Upon seeing this move, his eyes widened, and he turned around to continue watching.

Uchida's eyelids twitched slightly when he saw Su Ran's move of playing the 3-3 point, which went against the rules of Go.

After a long while, Uchida reached into the Go box again.

"Do you look down on me just because I'm a girl?"

The chess piece is knocked down!

The classroom was filled with the clattering sound of chess pieces being slammed down, like jade beads falling onto a plate, crisp and melodious.

……

Mashiba gritted his teeth, staring at the chessboard, sweat pouring down his forehead.

After a long while, Mashiba lowered his head reluctantly.

"I... lost."

Akira Touya nodded calmly. In this game, he used the most ruthless methods and ended the battle in the fastest time.

Because Mashiba's moves are full of traps and his style is unpredictable, Akira Touya realized by the middle game that without the most ruthless tactics, his opponent would keep harassing him.

"Thank you, I admit it."

Akira Touya nodded politely, but his tone was indifferent and aloof. He stood up and looked in Su Ran's direction.

"Teacher, what is he looking at so intently?"

"What kind of game has Su Ran played this time?"

Akira Toya saw Mr. Motomura standing behind Su Ran, who was engrossed in watching Su Ran's chess game.

Akira Touya ignored the defeated Mashiba and walked straight towards Su Ran.

Because of his good upbringing and manners, Akira Touya treats everyone with courtesy, but he doesn't really care about the weak.

Mashiba figured it out.

Mashiba gritted his teeth as he watched Akira Touya's retreating figure.

"Who does that guy think he is..."

Meanwhile, the boy playing a match next to Mashiba was stunned to see that Akira Touya had already defeated Mashiba.

"So fast?"

"Mashiba is the top student in Class 2, is Akira Touya really that strong? They're both in-house students!"

The person opposite him also looked over, staring at Mashiba with a complicated expression.

Mashiba gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

A moment later, he also stood up and walked towards Su Ran's direction.

Akira Toya walked to the side of Teacher Honmura and looked at the Go board. The moment he saw the game, Akira Toya's eyelids twitched slightly.

"How...how did this game of chess develop into its current state?"

Instantly, Akira Touya instinctively turned his head to ask Mr. Motomura, who was standing next to him.

Mr. Honmura looked at the game with a complicated expression, his brows furrowed, seemingly oblivious to Akira Touya.

Seeing this, Akira Touya turned back and continued to look at the chessboard.

"The dragon is almost severed, and it feels like the black piece is in grave danger..."

Akira Toya scrutinized the chessboard.

"However, in such a fierce battle in the center, the white pieces, in order to gain momentum, shouldn't have such solid ground in the corners..."

"Why did they take both land and tangible benefits?"

"The other person is also a student of the academy. Even if they are not as good as Su Ran, there is no reason why they would play so poorly. How... how did things develop into this situation?"

"Is this a game that evolved from the star point opening?"

In Akira Touya's mind, he began to reconstruct every move made by both black and white.

"No, no, Black should have chosen a two-space jump on the third move, so... what did White choose? A small knight's move?"

"If it was Xiao Fei, then... what did Bai Zi use to hook the horn?"

"What exactly did Su Ran do to cause the situation to develop into what it is now?"

Mashiba, without anyone noticing, also arrived beside Su Ran, looking at the current chess game with a gaping mouth in astonishment.

"how--"

Upon hearing this, the village teacher glared at Mashiba, who reluctantly shut his mouth and swallowed his words, but his heart was still trembling!

"What on earth happened? This game! How did Uchida end up playing it like this?!"

A moment later, Akira Touya seemed to understand something. He stared intently at a point in the upper left corner, his eyes filled with shock.

"This...this is..."

Akira Touya's eyes trembled.

"San San?"

"Yes, apart from pointing at the forbidden area of ​​3-3 at the beginning and abandoning the outside to survive in the corner, there is no reason why the white piece that goes second would be so firmly in the upper left corner!"

"Su Ranjun, right from the start, targeted San San's fatal weakness!"

"But...why is it that, in the face of external forces, they are still able to handle the situation with ease, even to the point of almost killing the opponent's dragon in the middle?"

"Why is it that every time I see Su Ranjun again, I feel that his playing style has improved significantly compared to before..."

"At first, he only had amazing computing power, but his chess thinking was very rigid... The second time we met, his playing style became more agile, and later, his ability to strangle opponents in chaotic situations evolved to be incredibly refined... But this time!"

Thinking of this, Akira Touya took a deep breath in shock and slowly exhaled, "But this time, it seems that he has developed a path that no one has ever taken before!"

"The 3-3 point... This is a forbidden move that has never appeared in the world of Go before! Yet, in his execution, it shines with a dazzling brilliance!"

"Grandmaster... This is a great attempt, like establishing a new school of thought, that only a grandmaster can accomplish!"

Just as Akira Touya was utterly horrified, on the other side, Mashiba finally couldn't help but let out another soft gasp:

"Oh no! Kuroko, the situation is bad!"

……

Even among geniuses, there are differences!

Uchida looked at the game with some tension. She could sense that the black pieces were in imminent danger and the large group of stones was in grave peril.

"But I clearly played according to the principles of chess, so why did the white stones not only gain territory but also influence on the outside..."

Uchida nervously bit his lower lip, his hand groping in the Go box. After a long while, he placed a Go piece down.

Divide the column into twelve rows and break it.

Su Ran followed suit, placing her chess piece as well.

Upon seeing this move, Uchida immediately panicked and became flustered.

"Damn it... that move just now went awry, he's penetrated deeper!"

Uchida felt immense pressure and began to ponder deeply again. The timer was ticking away, and her time was running out.

More and more people gathered around, staring in astonishment and awe at the game of chess.

Yoshitaka Waya frowned and muttered to himself, "San-san..."

The higher one's chess skill, the better one can discern how a game is formed from the chessboard; this is already a kind of chess sense.

"Starting with a 3-3, this kid is way too arrogant!"

"Yes, Uchida is a girl."
