I love you for ten years like a day

How did the battle go? "

Awara and Hikari were fairly familiar, and asked quickly when he remembered something. "By the way, Xiaoliang, do you know where Shinto is preparing for the battle? I heard from Morishita disciples that he hasn't been to Morishita Research Institute recently, nor has he been with Kazuya."

"Shinto said that he met a retired old chess player in the temple, and he was with the old chess player recently. I don't know exactly what happened."

Seeing Liang's calm appearance, Ashihara didn't quite agree.

"For such an important competition, why would Shinto just find someone to prepare for the match, Xiao Liang, aren't you a good friend following Jinto, at least he can ask you to play chess together."

Liang's hand that was about to play stopped in mid-air, he frowned slightly, and put the chess piece in his hand onto the nineteen-way chessboard.

"I know, but he has his own ideas and I respect his decision."

In fact, Liang also proposed to prepare for the battle together, but was rejected without thinking about it, and only said that he would grow up by his own strength and defeat him.

"Aren't you going to accept the opponent's help? This kid Shindo has a lot of personality." Mr. Ogata pinched out his cigarette butt and said playfully.

Taya Yukio even smiled rarely. "This is also respect for the opponent I recognize."

Liang was taken aback for a moment, and then he answered Lu Yuan's words, but his father and Mr. Ogata guessed the meaning behind the words... He really deserves to be the elders who watched him grow up.

Chiba Temple, backyard.

In the evening, he just packed his backpack, tomorrow is the first day of the domestic competition, and it is time for him to leave.

Guang bought a bunch of flowers and a folding fan and put them in front of Zoe's tomb.

"Zuo Wei, tomorrow is the first match of the audition for the Youth World Go Tournament. I will definitely enter the top 5 in the country and then enter the world finals."

"I prepare very seriously every day, and I have benefited a lot from the game against the old man. His chess skills are really strong, so don't worry about me..."

In the past few days at Chiba Temple, Hikari would come to Zuoi's tomb every day to tell him about his recent preparations for the battle.

After talking to Zuo Wei, Guangcai went to the backyard to say goodbye to the old monk.

"Old man, thank you for your care, I will definitely enter the top 5 in the country!"

When he came to the old monk, he put on a hippie smile.

If there is no light in the temple, it will return to tranquility again. The old monk is used to the days when there are people playing chess and bickering around him, and he is full of reluctance to return to his life alone, but he will not tell the light , so as not to make this kid frightened.

The old monk hummed heavily.

"Brat, do you want to leave without even calling me Master?"

But Guang screamed and jumped away as if he had been greatly frightened. "Eh?? If I call you Master, don't I want to become a monk too? I don't want to become a monk! I don't want to shave my head!!"

"Stinky boy, who told you that you must become a monk to call me master! Is it because of this that you have been reluctant to call me master?" The old monk said angrily.

"What, it turns out that's the case, wouldn't it be better if you told me earlier."

"You must take the initiative to ask for such a thing as a teacher! How dare I ask this old man to ask you!!"

But isn't it just asking now...

"Okay, Master, then I will call you Master from now on." Guang said with a smile.

"Hmph, that's about the same. Let me think of a dharma name for you later, and then take some time to shave."

The old monk suddenly said seriously, this frightened Guang, he quickly picked up his schoolbag and ran away.

"I don't want to be a monk!! If you want me to be a monk, I won't be your disciple!"

"Stinky boy! What's wrong with being a monk!"

"Anyway, I don't! I'm leaving, and I'll come to see you after the game is over."

Guang ran up happily, and did not forget to wave his hands and shout loudly before leaving. "Master, drink less alcohol!"

Then the figure disappeared at the end of the corridor in the courtyard.

"Stupid disciple." The old monk looked at Guang's leaving figure with his hands behind his back, with a smile on his face.

(forty)

The first day of the first round of the Japanese audition competition.

Guang woke up early in the morning, deliberately picked out his favorite yellow T-shirt and sneakers, and stepped out of the house refreshed.

"Shinto, good morning, is it so early today?"

"Morning, He Gu."

As soon as Guang got off the taxi, he met He Gu at the gate of the chess academy, who had just arrived.

"Speaking of which, where have you been preparing for the battle recently? I asked Taya, and he said that you have elders to guide you."

Sure enough, this matter was still unavoidable to be asked, just scratched the back of the head, and still answered vaguely.

"By the way, Shinto, have you read the group list?"

"Not yet, I just want to find out sooner."

"I have it here." He Gu quickly took out the group list from his satchel and explained to Guang.

"The grouping of the Chess Academy separated us all. You see, none of the chess players with a rank of four or more met in the first round. Your grouping is here."

The Chess Academy also has ulterior motives in separating all the seeded players, so as to prevent the seeded players from fighting prematurely.

The 64 contestants were divided into 8 groups, with 8 people in each group. In Hikari's group, only Fukui was a familiar face.

"That guy from Fukui said he entered the death group, and he has given up hope to enter the second round. He said it was a practice match." He Gu said with a smile.

"He Gu, what about your team?"

"My team is full of new faces, and I am confident that I can qualify."

"Yoxi, we must win all!"

Both of them are in good condition.

Then, Ochi, Fukui, Nase, and Tsuchida also arrived. As more players arrived, Nihon Ki-in soon became lively. The gates of Nihon Ki-in were bustling with participating chess players and media who came to film and interview.

"Participating chess players, please go to the designated game room according to their respective groups. The lottery will be held in 10 minutes. Please pay attention..."

Because of too many chess players, the Chess Academy had to use radio to manage order.The childish faces of the young chess players and the lively atmosphere at the scene made it seem like it was back to the day of the professional exam.

Guang came to the match room and sat down. From the moment he stepped in, the atmosphere in the match room froze. He is undoubtedly the strongest enemy of everyone in this group!

"The lottery starts now. Those who draw the same numbers form a group. After the game is over, the winning players come to register with me. Tomorrow, we will play 4-in-2 at the same time and at the same place."

The referee teacher signaled everyone to come up and draw lots.

The number that Light drew was No. 3, and his opponent was Hatsudan Haruno, 18 years old, a chess player of the Kansai Ki Academy.

"Please advise."

"Please advise."

The competition system is that each person has only two hours of thinking time, which is the same as the rules of the international competition system, and it is also a time to test the strength of these young chess players.

Will definitely win!Light secretly made up his mind.

The first round of the audition competition lasted for 3 consecutive days.

In the first game of the first round, 8 entered 4, Shinto Hikari 4th dan vs. Haruno 2nd dan, winning in the middle game.

In the second round of the first round, 4 entered 2, Shinto Hikari 4th dan against Fukui Chudan, and won in the middle game.

In the third game of the first round, 2 into 1, Shinto Hikari 4th dan vs. Kawasaki 3rd dan, the game is in progress.

"Hey, Xiao Liang, you actually have comic books here?"

Today, Lu Yuan and several brothers under Taya's school came to visit Liang, and Lu Yuan accidentally saw some comic books in Liang's bookcase.This is simply a surprising discovery for Ryo Taya, who has always only focused on Go.

Liang subconsciously wanted to explain, but stopped on the verge of speaking.

This is a comic book that Guang forgot to take away, and he put it in the bookcase when he tidied up the room.I originally thought about asking him to take it away next time, but that guy never took it to heart. Not only did he not take away the comic books, but he piled up several of them.

Everyone didn't know that Guang occasionally stayed at Liang's apartment, and Liang didn't intend to tell everyone.

"Hmm..." So these few books can only be recognized by himself...

But Liang immediately regretted it!

"Ah, "Otaku Diary Special", Xiao Liang, so you like this too!"

"..."

"Wow, and "Fairy Story", I like the heroine in it the most."

"..."

"The heroine has particularly big breasts."

! ! ! !

That guy Shinto Hikari! ! !What the hell is he usually looking at! ! !

"Okay, Lu Yuan, stop teasing Xiao Liang, it's rare for Xiao Liang to have his own private space."

So, he is considered to be someone who can read these things?Liang felt that he was almost suffocated into an internal injury.

"By the way, the last round of the first round of the big competition should start at this time. In the afternoon, we can know who the top 10 players in Japan are."

A brother suddenly started talking.

"Did you know that Koji Nakamura also entered the second round directly like Ryo, and didn't need to participate in the first round. It is said that it was because of his excellent performance in Korea."

Then Awara said. "Actually, I think Shinto can also go directly to the second round. The last time I met him in hand, it was a disastrous defeat."

"Lu Yuan, there's no need to say such embarrassing things." The brothers were speechless.

"By the way, Xiao Liang, aren't you going to watch Jinteng's game live? This game is also very important to him." A senior brother suddenly remembered this matter.

But Liang said without raising his head. "No, there's no need."

The senior brothers were stunned for a moment, and then they came to realize that there is no need to look at it because Jin Teng's opponent is too weak?

So the topic of the first round of the audition stopped here.

Around noon, Liang received a text message.

[Shindo Hikaru: I won, in the mid game, see you in the second round tomorrow. 】
