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

All the onlookers were waiting, waiting for someone to make the first move and start the attack!

In this chaotic situation, you can win quickly, or you can lose quickly!

Who will be the first to strike and draw their sword?

Everyone knew perfectly well that since Hei Zi had chosen the Five Columns and Five Elements, he must be seeking battle, and battle was inevitable!

Otherwise, any move made at the start of the game would be worth more than 20 points.

If the Five Columns and Five Elements move doesn't work, it will be inefficient and like a boulder stuck in your feet in the ocean, dragging you into the abyss of despair!

Is a full-scale attack necessary?

"There's no need for that... The opponent is no ordinary person; he's Kyoto Makoto, a first-dan player who already had the skill of a professional Go player two years ago!"

"That's true. The current situation is evenly matched. If we launch a strong attack, it would be like a snake trying to swallow an elephant—insatiable."

"Hmm... Black's position is good right now, but White's position is also very flexible. If we attack rashly, White's counterattack can be terrifying."

"To be honest, I'm not worried that Black won't be able to break through. I'm more worried that if White deliberately creates an opening, Black might attack."

"It's possible... After all, the move of five rows and five lines did cause a chaotic battle, but White's defense was watertight, and the corner at 3-3 secured territory, making it impeccable."

"There's no need for the haters to risk everything and fight to the death. They should just stay calm."

"In that case, the outcome will only be decided in the final rounds."

Everyone stepped back and whispered their thoughts, not wanting to disturb the two players in the game.

Afu watched the chessboard with even more trepidation.

"Damn it... How could they know that Su Ranjun would definitely attack? He's that kind of person."

"Su Ran is the kind of person who, even if he loses, will definitely be covered in blood!"

Afu looked at Su Ran with concern.

In the midst of a chess game.

Su Ran stared at a point on the chessboard, then reached into the chess box again.

The cold chess piece was held between my fingertips.

Then, the chess piece was placed.

To everyone's astonishment, the chess piece landed on the chessboard!

Eight columns and fourteen rows, wow!

In an instant, the situation on the chessboard changed dramatically!

The war drums have sounded!

"Here, instead of using length, we lean against it."

"They could have defended, but they chose to switch!"

"He's attacking!"

"Having seized a sliver of opportunity, they launched a relentless attack!"

"That's too audacious. That's Bai Zi's territory. Is he really so confident of victory?"

"Or perhaps, a gambler?"

Beside him, Seiji Ogata also frowned deeply and pushed up his glasses.

"Depend on……"

"Even if this shape is still an attack, it goes too deep, and he won't be able to see the white pieces' counterattack."

Ogata Seiji's eyes revealed his confusion.

"Completely without any scruples, as if they were certain they would win."

"Didn't he know that the ensuing chaos would be a battle fought entirely in the thick fog?"

"The battle raged in the middle of the body, every strike drawing blood, and it was unclear when it would end..."

Ogata Seiji suddenly remembered the game of Go between Kato Masao and THESAI.

"That battle was from the center to the four corners."

"This time, it will be a battle that starts from one corner and continues to the top, and then the fighting will spread to every other place."

"There is no time to rest. Both sides must be fully focused and cannot afford to make any mistakes!"

"A single wrong move can lead to total defeat!"

……

Kyoto University suffered a crushing defeat! Those students were unbelievably strong!

"He attacked."

Kyōyō's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that in such an evenly matched game, just as the game entered the middle stage, his opponent would launch the first attack.

"That suits me perfectly. I won't lose... I'm here for revenge. If I lose to this brat, how can I compete with Kurata Atsushi?"

Jingyou reached into the Go box, picked up a white piece, and focused his gaze on the pieces on the Go board.

“I have been learning Go since I was a child and was known as a Go prodigy, but I lost to Kurata Atsushi, who had only been learning Go for a short time, in the professional exam.”

"That's a disgrace I'll never allow to happen again!"

Press the chess piece down!

Thirteen columns and fourteen rows, sandwich!

Faced with the aggressive pressure from the black pieces, the white pieces did not show off their strength, but instead temporarily avoided direct confrontation and launched a surprise attack, demonstrating a brilliant idea to attack from another side.

"If I can gain control of the center in the struggle on the left wing, the crisis will naturally be resolved."

"Now that he has gone deep into it, he can only go down this path to the end, and there is no way to turn back halfway."

Jing Youzhen gripped the chess piece tightly, his eyes flashing, and gently raised his eyes to look at Su Ran.

Su Ran maintained her usual calm expression. In a Go match, having one's expression read is never a good thing.

"Moreover, he probably isn't good at robbery and the variations of the game; he would think for a long time before making those few moves each time."

"If the accusation is drawn from the left side, my initial 3-3 can also play a decisive role!"

This strategy is undeniably ruthless.

But in the game of chess, it's either you die or I die!

As the saying goes, the victor is king and the loser is villain!

Every chess player grows up through the trials of strategy and challenges!

Su Ran quickly picked up a chess piece as well, as he knew exactly what Jing Youzhen wanted to do.

The chess piece is placed!

Ten rows and thirteen columns, that's it!

"He...dodged it so easily?"

Kyōyō Makoto stared at this move, his eyes widening slightly, his face turning somewhat grim. He then picked up another piece and placed it down defiantly!

A glint of light seemed to flicker between his fingers!

"He realized that if he broke it off, it would be too soft, and if he tried to stick it on, it would be too slow, so he directly pressed it down, trying to block my path to the middle abdomen."

"cut……"

Su Ran placed another piece.

Jingyou countered each move with a counter-move, and then escaped with a 3/15 strike.

"But... to be honest..."

"This student is ridiculously strong! I've never seen such a strong student before. I'm not the same person I was two years ago!"

"Surprisingly, it still feels a bit strenuous."

Not only did he think so, but the onlookers also remained silent, watching Su Ran, who was playing black, calmly and composedly place his chess piece.

"Who exactly is he...?"

"Is he really just an intern? Everyone has witnessed Kyōyū's strength, right?"

The students watching looked on with pride.

"Hey, kid, this student of yours is ridiculously strong..."

A middle-aged man with stubble turned his head and looked at Afu beside him.

"My name is Shi Xia, and I plan to take the professional exam next year. If all the students in the academy are this strong... I'm starting to get a little worried."

Shi Xia stroked his stubble, somewhat shocked by the chess game before him.

Afu paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Uncle, Su Ran is different. Su Ran is a genius."

"Then I'm relieved... This boy is terrifying."

Shi Xia patted her chest with lingering fear: "It's just like watching a high-level professional Go player play a game."

The two sides were chatting quietly when suddenly, an excited exclamation arose from the crowd.

"It's stuck! It's stuck!"

"Should we stick it on now?"

Shi Xia quickly moved closer, pushing through the crowd to look at the chessboard in front of her.

Gradually, his eyes widened: "There are even board games like 'ban zhuan' here? Is this a game that humans can play?"

His voice was so loud that it startled those around him, who all gestured for him to be quiet.

Shi Xia realized that the game was still going on and immediately covered her mouth.

Ogata Seiji and Motomura-sensei remained silent, watching the chessboard. With each move they made, their hearts grew heavier.

It was as if they could see a glimpse of the future in these two people.
