"Xiao Shu, play a game of coaching chess with this girl... I'll play... I want to see what talent this kid has."

"!!!"

Hanzawa was stunned, and looked at Sai with incredible eyes...

Zuo Wei must have played a lot of chess these days. How could he be so hungry that he would not even choose what to eat? He even did not spare children!

Zuo Wei frowned and looked straight at the bald man and said, "He is Xiao Guang..."

"????"

Hanze didn't react at first.

Sai frowned and looked straight at the bald man and said in a deep voice: "He was the one who woke me up... Shindo Hikaru!"

"!!!! Nani!"

Three seconds later, Hanzawa Naoki reacted.

(This bald man is Kondo Hikaru, are you sure!)

Looking at Fujiwara Sawa and then at the bald man, Hanzawa was stunned.

Chapter 203: Unexpected Game of Chess

Chapter 203 206. Unexpected Game - Recruiting a Disciple

Shindo Hikaru - the protagonist of the Go manga "Hikaru no Go" written by Naoki Hanzawa in his previous life.

In the plot of the comics, because of the possession of Fujiwara Sawa, this character was transformed from an elementary school student who knew nothing about Go into a talented Go player who made Go his lifelong career.

In this life, it was because of the intrusion of his cheap mother.

The world line was distorted. Not long after Shindo Hikaru and Fujiwara Sai first met, Akimoto Sai arranged for a professional Taoist priest to forcibly separate Sai from Shindo Hikaru.

Thanks to his cheap mother's actions, Sai became the natal ghost of Naoki and Amaki.

Banze had no idea what specific rituals the Taoists performed.

But Hanzawa thought that Shindo Hikaru must have paid some price to sever the original connection between Sai and him.

Hanzawa was not interested in knowing the details... There were so many things that were different between this world and the world he was originally from.

He wasn't a Death God elementary school student, so there was no need to dig into every question...

It’s just that in this world…it seems as if there is such a thing as fate…it’s very weird and mysterious.

Whether it's the daughter Sagiri... the father Kenichi...

There always seems to be an invisible dark hand behind the scenes pushing Hanzawa to interact with some specific people.

There are people Hanzawa is willing to date... For example, Hanazawa Rem... Fujiwara Sawa...

There are people that Hanzawa deliberately avoids... For example, Tokisaki Kurumi... Hanzawa Tenki...

If we were to ask which category this sudden appearance of Misaka Mikoto belongs to, there is no doubt that this woman would be classified as the latter.

Banze doesn't even have time to take care of his own daughter... so how can he have time to take care of his apprentice? For the sake of his own future, there is no reason for him to cause trouble...

But there are some things that you cannot avoid no matter how unwilling you are to do them.

Hanzawa, who has a karmic connection with Sai, can only get involved with Misaka Mikoto in order to make Sai return to his heart.

The reason why Sai treats this little girl so well is because of...Shindo Hikaru...now Misaka Hikaru...

From Shindo's current name, we can draw a very helpless fact - Shindo Hikaru changed his name and married into a family with the surname "Misaka".

Marrying into another's wife's family... this is something that will make the man feel ashamed no matter which country it is.

Compared with blood ties, the Japanese pay the most attention to "family name inheritance", especially traditional aristocrats or family businesses. In order to pass on the family, they will let their sons-in-law "marry into the family" and become "a member of the family."

Unlike in China, a husband who marries into his wife's family in Japan must give up his original surname and be buried in his wife's family's tomb after his death.

For this reason, the husband’s status in the family is also the lowest, and he is completely a tool for the big family to inherit the incense!

Based on the above facts, Zuo Wei, who couldn't bear it, felt compassion.

No matter how you put it, it was Shindo Hikaru who unsealed him in the beginning... and it was also Shindo Hikaru who gave him a new life... From the perspective of gratitude, this favor... Sawa has not had the time to repay.

This is also the reason why Sai suddenly offered to play coaching chess... He hopes to repay the favor he owed to Shindo by coaching Misaka Mikoto.

Sai and Hanzawa's original words were: "Xiao Guang, let's just play a game with her. If this child is really talented, I am willing to reduce my chess playing time by three hours a week to guide her... If not, then just tell this child that you have no talent and let her give up... You can see that Shindo is in this state now, I think it must be related to the ceremony that year... Hey... Consider it a plea from me, let me repay the favor that I didn't repay that year."

Sai said this with a look of reluctance on his face... and Hanzawa, who knew what the original novel's Shindo Hikaru looked like, was unable to refuse because of what he said.

It’s nothing...it’s really miserable...the handsome boy with yellow hair in front and black hair in the back has now turned into a bald uncle.

There used to be a large mass of yellow hair on my forehead, but now only a few are left...

If Hanzawa remembered correctly, Shindo Hikaru is only 27 years old now... Oh... He looks more like 37 now...

So, Hanzawa had no choice but to speak up and stop Shindo from leaving the long house.

"Wait a minute..."

Hanzawa raised his hand and called out to Shindo.

"I can fulfill my promise and accept your daughter as my apprentice, but only if she can pass my test."

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Banze in unison, all with expressions of surprise on their faces.

What's going on... Why did you change your mind again...

"test?"

Shindo Hikaru looked at the young man in the field in surprise and doubt, who had suddenly changed his mind. The girl in his arms showed joy on her face, and she, who had given up struggling, started screaming again.

"Dad, let me go. I want to compete. I want to play chess. Master, you really keep your word. I want to play with you. I want to play with you."

Ignoring Misaka Mikoto's noise, Hanzawa Naoki asked Shindo Hikaru, "Yes, test. Do you have a Go app on your phone? I'll play a game with this girl. ... I'll let your daughter win 30 points. If she can beat me, I'll take her in as my apprentice..."

"! Wow!!!!"

An uproar ensued.

Naoki Hanzawa, are you trying to attract everyone's attention and get on the hot search again?

You're really amazing in taking in a disciple by playing chess at the celebration party.

Ignoring everyone's criticism, Hanze slowly described the rules of this game: "The game time is one and a half hours per person. I will play blind chess with you. You just need to tell me where you will place your pieces. I will remind you friendly that I will never let you win on purpose. If you lose even after doing this, please don't bother me anymore. Then I solemnly remind you to be prepared for a miserable defeat. I will not give you guidance, but will do my best... This is our way of guidance... If you can't accept it... please give up."

After saying this, Hanzawa looked at Sai who was invisible to everyone. In fact, he was also speaking to Sai... After all, Hanzawa was not confident in letting Sai and Misaka Mikoto go... Shindo Hikaru is in such a miserable state now, it is possible that Sai would let them go.

The 30 points handicap he proposed is actually equivalent to giving the opponent 6 to 8 pieces.

The reason why he didn't just play the handicap game was that Hanzawa was worried that the opponent would trick him.

In Hanzawa's mind, there is a sure-fire way to win by giving up pieces in chess...it's just a way for people with good chess skills to show off.

Playing against each other fairly can also better monitor the opponent's Go talent.

Hanzawa Naoki looked at Misaka Mikoto and said, "Do you agree?"

Misaka Mikoto nodded repeatedly and said, "I agree... Of course I agree... Give me thirty points and I will definitely beat you."

Hanzawa Naoki smiled, not really agreeing with the girl's mysterious self-confidence.

Thus, this... slightly weird test of accepting a disciple began...

In order to make the little girl accept defeat sincerely, Hanzawa Naoki let Misaka Mikoto play black in this game.

Because he felt that the other party was too young to be a concern, Naoki Hanzawa played blind chess with the little girl while attending the celebration party.

While he and Misaka Mikoto were playing blind chess, several big names from the Japan Chess Institute arrived in the long house one after another.

In addition to the familiar Ogata Seiji, there are also Toya Yukihiro and Lin Haifeng.

Even the chess master Fujisawa Hideyuki came.

These three were all Go masters in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s! Especially Fujisawa Hideyuki, who is over 90 years old. Hanzawa Naoki was really surprised that this big guy could come.

The purpose of Lin Haifeng and Toya Xingyang's attendance at the banquet was not only to congratulate Hanzawa on his advancement to the finals, but also to invite Hanzawa to visit their teacher Wu Qingyuan.

Mr. Fujisawa Hideyuki came here to express that he wanted to play a game of chess with Hanzawa Naoki, without counting the time.

The big shots naturally noticed the little girl (Misaka Mikoto) kneeling next to Hanzawa!

After all, what kind of place is this... a celebration party of the Japan Shogi Association... and you, a little girl, kneeling next to Hanzawa with a cell phone in your hand and not even saying hello, are making such a fuss.

But the funniest thing is... the protagonist of the celebration party, Hanzawa Naoki, was still playing blind chess with this little girl...

After learning the details from a group of chess players, the three of them realized that it was this little girl who was fearless and wanted to find Hanzawa to be her apprentice.

Because they wanted to watch... many people were also paying attention to what kind of chess Misaka Mikoto, the daughter of reporter Shindo Hikaru, could play against Hanzawa.

Fujisawa Hideyuki even sat directly next to Misaka Mikoto...

During this period, at the call of the organizer Seiji Ogata, a celebration banquet was officially held.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone, regardless of whether they like drinking or not, or whether they are allergic to alcohol or not, needs to drink a glass of beer together (except minors) to maintain collective unity.

Then you can change to shochu, sake, or drinks according to your personal situation.

As for the cuisine, the celebration banquet was arranged with a set menu. The chef was free to cook, and according to one of the four principles in the Japanese cuisine world: the taste of the dish cannot surpass the original taste of the ingredients, so the taste was naturally lighter.

According to the current month, the main ingredients are shellfish, conger eel, veal, etc.

The dishes looked good when they were served, very delicate and beautiful, but in terms of taste, Hanzawa felt that the money was not worth it. The only advantage was that the presentation was nice and the shape of the bowls and plates was nice.

During this period, Hanzawa gradually discovered that the daughter of Shindo Hikaru was indeed a bit unusual.

This little girl actually wants to slay a dragon, and she wants to slay her own dragon!

Chapter 204: Extremist Tactics (asking for monthly tickets!)

Chapter 204 207. Extremist Tactics (asking for monthly tickets!)

Because everyone present was a professional chess player, someone soon noticed that Hanzawa was in a bad situation.

Firstly, in the first half of the celebration banquet, Naoki Hanzawa was still in the mood to chat and laugh with other chess players and even compliment each other, but now he closed his lips and started playing chess with his eyes closed.

Secondly, some players at the scene had already taken out portable chessboards and started to set up the chess pieces, and asked other players to watch the game in the front half of the private room and not to disturb the game between Hanzawa Naoki and Misaka Mikoto.

The people who set up the chess pieces were not ordinary people. They were the two most famous and experienced bosses present today... Lin Haifeng and Toya Xingyang.

The two men were not only setting up the chess pieces, but they also asked their disciples to speak in a low voice even when expressing their opinions so as not to disturb the two players.

"This little girl started with a high-level Chinese layout, which is very impressive for her age."

……

"Then the white chess piece was hanging high at this small eye. The normal response of the black chess piece should be to cooperate with the overall situation and make this "small flying" move, but this girl chose to make a "pointed" move. This move is her "searching for the root", the purpose of which is to make the whole white chess piece float up...."

Toya Yukihiro said to his grandson, "Facing Naoki's jump, generally speaking, 100 out of 99 chess players would choose to jump in the bottom 3rd row to surround the empty space. But look at what Black chose, a move in the middle? Let's take a look at why, Yamashita, come over here and tell us what you think."

The young man called Shan Xia stepped forward to watch a few games after hearing the master's order. He looked again and again, shook his head, and said, "I don't quite understand. This move was blocked by the opponent, and more than 20 points were lost. Black's move... doesn't look like an attack, nor does it look like a siege. Master, are you sure you didn't make a random move..."

"And now that White has blocked it, Black's 20 points are gone. I don't think this is anything to look at..."

"What about Takemura...what do you think of this move? What do you think her purpose is in making the last move?"

Lin Haifeng spoke at this time, and he called a young man named Zhucun to come forward and talk about his ideas.

This is his youngest disciple, currently a professional third-dan, and 21 years old.

"I think... it shouldn't be a bad move. It has a purpose. You see, the balance of space has been broken after the white piece blocked it just now. Now look at this hanging move, the black piece's intention is very obvious. This kid wants to gain a profit from the attack. But I think this is not easy to attack, right? In this place, the white piece can actually take the initiative, and then free up its hands to make up a move over there..."

Lin Haifeng smiled slightly and praised: "Well, Takemura, you are right. It is the same as your judgment. Naoki did make a quick move. But you guys wait and see what this kid does next."

As he spoke, Lin Haifeng sent a black piece into Banze's hinterland!

"What! Black chess piece touched it? Who taught you to do this? Isn't this just asking for death?"

Everyone was shocked by Misaka Mikoto's wild imagination and courage when they saw this move. People say Hanzawa Naoki is a chess madman, but this girl is not an exaggeration to call her a chess master!

At this time, it was the boy named Takeshita who made the correct judgment first: "Teacher... are you trying to say that the boy is no longer just thinking about attacking to gain profit, but is thinking about killing the white piece."

Lin Haifeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right. This kid named Mikoto should think so! Just wait and see how the situation develops."

He pointed at the chessboard in front of him and analyzed:

"Look at this little girl who spent 20 points to grab a move in the center, and then spent another 20 points to grab an initial move here. Tell me, this is not an attempt to slay the dragon, what is she trying to do?"
