[Soul of Chess] What if

"I think."

Without any hesitation, Taya replied like this.His tone reveals the determination that must be done and the self-confidence that should be taken for granted.

Hearing Taya's answer, Shinto felt a little speechless.

In fact, he knows that he and Taya are not from the same world.

He knew it from the beginning.

Even, from the moment he saw Taya for the first time, he knew clearly that he and Taya were people from two worlds.

I still remember the first time I met Taya, it was because my grandfather and the others went on a trip, and I had no way to play chess with my grandfather.At that time, Zuo Wei finally regained his spirit gradually.In order not to let his efforts fall short, he came to the chess club that others called.

When he was looking around the room to find his opponent, Taya's figure just entered his sight.

At that time, Taya was arranging the chess records with his head down.

He was clearly a child just like himself.However, he sat there, looking intently at the chessboard in front of him, carefully placing the pieces one by one, and there was no trace of panic in the clubhouse full of adults, but he seemed very calm and composed.

Around him, a unique atmosphere even faintly formed, just looking at it makes people feel very calm and indifferent.The uneasiness I felt when I first arrived seemed to be calmed down by the quiet temperament of Taya.

Perhaps, it was precisely because of feeling the unique aura around Taya that I was able to spot him in the crowd full of grandpas.

"Ah! Great! There's a baby!"

His sudden utterance was like throwing a stone on a calm lake, and the original quiet atmosphere around Taya was suddenly broken by him, the intruder.

However, Taya didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure even when she was disturbed by her sudden utterance.

After finding out that he was looking for someone to play chess, he quickly agreed to the request without any hesitation.

Then, he saw Taya's face clearly.

It was a very handsome young man.

His hair is about the position of the chin, and the hair is neatly combed, which looks very smooth.He has smooth cheeks and long eyelashes, and his big clear and bright eyes have a calm temperament that does not match his age.

The ordinary student uniform was put on him squarely, without a single wrinkle on his clothes, making him look extraordinarily clean and tidy.In addition, the upper is also clean, and there is not even a trace of dust on the edge of the bottom surface.

Let people know at a glance that this is a well-educated child.It's just that he doesn't have the arrogance of an outstanding student that Shinto hates so much.

He is very considerate.When he was asked by Miss Shihe to pay for playing chess, after seeing his slightly flustered expression, he took the initiative to intercede for himself and let himself be exempted from the fee.

Later, when he was playing chess, he didn't show the slightest hint of ridicule when he saw his unseemly gesture of holding a chess piece.

Even though he moved slowly because of counting the chessboard, Taya didn't make a sound to urge him.

This flattered Shinto, who had been tortured by his grandfather's hot temper.

By the way, Taya's voice is as calm and peaceful as it looks, and it sounds very comfortable.

Taya's every move is very decent, and it looks like the demeanor of a well-educated top student.Getting along with him is like bathing in the spring breeze, very comfortable.

In addition to these, what is more important is his dedication and seriousness to Go.

Even though he is the same age as himself, Taya possesses extremely powerful strength, and the guests respectfully call him Teacher A Liang.

Tsutsui-senpai seems to have said that Taya is strong enough to pass the professional shogi player exam, and he even plays guide chess with adults.

Guiding chess is no stranger to Shinto.

Because Zuo Wei and his grandfather have played several games of chess that are guide chess.

According to Zuo Wei, the purpose of guiding chess is to guide the opponent to play the correct chess move.He also said that only with overwhelming chess power and the calmness to see the game can he guide the game.

At such a young age, Taya is already able to play guiding chess with adults!

What surprised Shinto the most was that he was able to make even Sawei feel intimidated, so that Sawei had to go all out!

Zuo Wei's chess strength is achieved after thousands of years of tempering.But what about Taya?He is obviously the same age as me!He actually has such a powerful strength!

What makes Shindo feel even more admirable is that even with such strength, Taya has never shown that he thinks highly of himself.He has always been like an adult, very stable and self-restraining, and continued to hone his chess skills without arrogance or rashness.

And what about yourself?

Clothes are always wrinkled from playing around.

His personality is always very mischievous and mischievous, which makes people have a headache.

I have no patience to do things.I always get interested in something quickly, but I don't care about it for a long time.

His grades were also very bad. If it wasn't for Zuo Wei's help, his grades would not have reached the current level.

……

From this point of view, there is a huge difference between himself and Taya.

If it weren't for the existence of Zuo Wei, they might never have any intersection in their lives.

However, in the same way, once people who were originally on two parallel lines have an intersection, and once they are attracted by people from another world, they will involuntarily expect that the days of this intersection will be longer.

Therefore, although Shindo knew very well that he and Taya were not in the same world, he still didn't want to see Taya again.

However, he couldn't just rely on Zuowei to achieve it.

Because he knew that although he didn't know why he had that weird dream, something in that dream did happen, that is to say, Zuowei would disappear in the end.

Since Zuowei will disappear one day, even if he can continue to maintain the existing relationship with Taya through Zuowei now.But what about after Zuowei disappeared?

Without thinking about it, he knew that he and Taya would return to the original point in the end.Even, the situation may get worse.

Therefore, the only option I can choose is to step into the world of Go.

Only in this way can I stand upright in front of Taya!

"Oh... If that's the case, then I'll become a professional chess player too." Since becoming a professional chess player is Taya's goal, then if I also move towards that goal, I will definitely be able to come to the world where Taya is.Ah Guang thought so, so he said.

"Well... But, Taya, we are still children now, and discussing things about the future always feels so far away..." Aguang seemed to scratch his cheek shyly.

"Far away?" Taya repeated with some puzzlement.

"Yes, we are only in the sixth grade of elementary school. Even if we want to become professional chess players, we should have to wait until we become adults. In other words, it will be a long, long time later. Now the two of us are so serious Talking about something so far away, I always feel a little weird..." A Guang rubbed his head and said with a little embarrassment.

"No, that's not the case." Taya's voice was as calm as ever, "Almost all chess players passed the exam when they were teenagers, and many of the first-class chess players passed the exam in junior high school, and some even passed the exam I have already become a professional chess player. Therefore, becoming a professional chess player is not far away."

"What about school? Don't they go to school?"

"No, they will also study. If there is a competition, they will ask the school for leave." Taya explained patiently.

"Ask for leave? Is it okay?" Ah Guang's eyes widened in surprise, "Won't the school teacher be angry?"

"..." Only then did Taya realize that, apart from playing chess, Shinto knew nothing about the world of Go.No wonder when I asked him before if he wanted to become a professional Go player, he replied that he never thought of becoming a professional Go player.

It turned out that he didn't want to be one, but because he didn't understand it, he didn't want to be one!

After realizing this, Taya recovered from the slightly depressed mood she had heard from Shinto that she had never thought of becoming a professional shogi player.He began to patiently explain to Jinto some things he knew about professional chess players: "If you want to become a professional chess player, you must first pass the professional chess player's exam?"

"Examination for professional chess players?"

"Yes. The professional chess player's exam is only once a year, and it is usually held in July. After two months of round robin, only the top three players who won the game can pass. In April of the next year, this Three people will officially become professional chess players."

Shinto listened to Taya's explanation with dumbfounded eyes.

professional chess player...

Hearing Taya say that he wanted to become a professional chess player, he thought it was a long way off.I didn't expect it to be so fast!

Tsutsui-senpai seems to have said that Taya is strong enough to pass the professional shogi player exam.

In other words, as long as Taya takes the exam, he will definitely become a professional chess player.

But what about yourself?

I thought that as long as I continued to learn Go, I would be able to get close to Taya...

It seems that I think too simple.

"Taya..." Ah Guang called softly, "When...are you going to take the exam for a professional chess player?"

"What about you? Shinto, when do you plan to participate?" Taya didn't answer, but asked instead.

"I...I want to wait until I'm stronger..." Ah Guang said in a low voice.

If you take it now, it is impossible for you to pass the exam without relying on Zuowei's ability.However, once he borrowed Zuowei's strength, he wouldn't be standing upright in front of Taya.

"..." Taya originally wanted to say, with your current strength, you can already pass with a complete victory.But seeing Shinto's serious expression, he didn't say anything.

Perhaps Shindo had his own plans.

"By the way, Shindo, I'm not in the Go Club recently. Neptune will hold an entrance exam recently, so I'm reviewing at home to prepare now." As if thinking of something, Taya said, "You can put your phone Can you tell me the number? It will be more convenient to contact you then.”
