[Soul of Chess] What if

In the seminar on Saturday, Ah Guang finally didn’t attend because—the new semester started…

After the opening ceremony, there were two or three days of regular education, and then Ah Guang and the others began to attend classes normally.

Since he was not very good at studying, and the difficulty of the second grade courses was significantly higher than that of the first grade, Aguang obviously struggled a lot in mastering new knowledge as soon as he started school.Although he has tried his best to use the time between classes to catch up on homework, he still has to spend a lot of time dealing with homework when he gets home.

This undoubtedly increased the burden on Ah Guang.

After all, besides his studies, he still has a lot of Go things waiting for him to do, and the first thing he needs to do is to improve his ranking among college students.

On the first day of this month's training day for college students, the new list of college students was sent out as usual.After unremitting efforts last month, Ah Guang's ranking has once again been greatly improved, and he is currently a group of 17.Even so, Ah Guang couldn't be happy, because——

"Huh—?! Only the top 16 in one group can participate in the rookie competition?" After hearing Yijiao's answer, Ah Guang couldn't help but lament.

Although he had promised Taya that he would participate in the Rising Stars Competition, Aguang didn't know anything about the specific content of the competition, and he couldn't find any useful information on the Internet, so he thought about asking other students.

In fact, compared with Yijiao, the relationship between Aguang and Hegu is closer. If there is no appointment, Aguang might ask Hegu about it.It's just that, because he didn't know how to deal with He Gu's detective-like observation ability, Ah Guang unconsciously avoided him after that.

After all, no one would hope that the secrets that they worked so hard to hide would be dissected clearly, wouldn't they?This is why Ah Guang asked Yijiao about this matter.

Unexpectedly, the current self is not qualified to participate.

Although he is currently ranked 17th, it seems that he is very close to 16th. In fact, due to the fierce competition among a group of students, it is not easy to maintain the current ranking. Therefore, if he wants to go up It becomes more difficult to improve the ranking, and the slightest negligence may cause the ranking to plummet.Therefore, in order to qualify for the competition, Ah Guang still has a rather difficult road to go...

Of course, when asking these questions, Aguang deliberately waited for Yijiao to go there, otherwise he would definitely have discovered something from it with Kazuya's keen eyes... -_-||

"Well, yes." Yijiao affirmed, "The Chess Academy will announce the ranking in early May, and only a group of top 16 students will be eligible to participate in that competition."

"It turns out that the ranking still has such a purpose..." Ah Guang couldn't help but smacked his lips after hearing this.

Regarding Aguang's hindsight, although he was a little helpless, Yijiao patiently explained: "Yes. Not only that, the professional chess player exam in three months' time will have to go through the preliminaries before participating in the official competition. Basically, the preliminaries will be held. Five days, one round per day, only those who win three times can participate in the official competition."

"However, if your comprehensive results from April to June can be ranked in the top 4, then you can directly participate in this battle." After finishing speaking, he added this sentence.

Hearing this news, Ah Guang's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, I didn't expect such an operation to exist⊙_⊙"

Ah Guang silently calculated in his heart that if he could directly participate in the official competition, he would be able to free up at least the five days of the preliminaries, so that there would be more time for Zuowei to use. .If the time is arranged more ideally, maybe the competition that Zuo had planned to give up as a last resort can now participate in it now ≥﹏≤

Thinking about it this way, Ah Guang became more determined to improve the ranking of college students.Who made him use one person's time for two people now?╯﹏╰

In addition to the need to improve the ranking, another thing that requires a lot of Aguang's energy is Zuowei's competition.

Zuowei has two important competitions to participate in in April, namely Fujitsu Cup and Chunlan Cup: From April 4th to 6th, the 10th Fujitsu Cup World Go Championship will be held in Tokyo, Japan. After two rounds of fierce competition Only the eight players who successfully passed the checkpoint will be eligible to participate in the quarter-finals one month later; and the second stage of the Chunlan Cup (the quarter-finals) will be held in Shanghai, China on April 13.

That is to say, except that Ah Guang can take a breather in mid-April, the rest of his time has already been fully arranged by various schedules.

Even so, there was finally a Sunday when there was no training for college students, and instead of staying at home to relax and relax, Ah Guang got dressed early and went out with Zuo Wei.

After taking the subway and walking for a certain distance, Ah Guang and the others finally arrived at the destination of this trip.

This is an apartment in Yotsuya, Tokyo. At this time, Aguang was standing in front of the house with a frowning expression.

Due to the start of school, Aguang did not participate in the research meeting as scheduled, but after explaining the situation to the old gentleman, and getting the understanding from the other party, Aguang had the opportunity to participate again, and today is his first time to participate in the research meeting .

Looking at the simple yet heavy building in front of him, Ah Guang felt inexplicably nervous.After checking the door number again and again, he swallowed with difficulty, then held his breath and tremblingly stretched his fingers towards the small rectangular doorbell.

However, before his fingers had time to touch the button, another broad hand pressed it down before him.

"!"

Ah Guang turned his head reflexively, and saw a tall figure appearing behind him at some unknown time.Due to the backlight, Ah Guang squinted his eyes and struggled to see the unexpected guest clearly.

It was a young man in his 20s.He has clean, short hair and wears a well-pressed shirt and trousers.Perhaps it was because of his lazy expression, even though he was dressed formally, he still looked lazy.

"Hi!" Seeing himself looking over, the other party greeted Aguang with a smile, "I think, you are that Shindo Hikari?"

"You know me?!" Ah Guang was suddenly surprised.

The man was about to speak, when a young female voice came from the intercom: "Who is there?"

"I'm Yang Hai." The man replied, and he added, "Ah, also, Jin Teng is here too."

"OK, just a second."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened after a while, and a young woman with shawl and long hair in a suit smiled at the entrance and said, "We have been waiting for a long time, please come in!"

The author has something to say:

Ah... guess who will appear in the next chapter? =^_^=
