[Chess Soul] Dang Zuowei becomes the final reward

At the end of the game that day, Shinto saw Taya waiting outside the battle room as soon as he left the battle room.

Seeing Shinto come out, Taya went up to meet him, and said anxiously, "Do you know about Sudou?"

Thinking of the newspaper he read in the morning, Shinto also looked heavy, nodded, and said, "Well, I read the newspaper in the morning."

"Sudou was called by the chess academy." Taya recalled that when the two saw the newspaper in the chess club today, Sudou's pale face, and his bleak eyes when he received the call from the chess academy, Taya felt that very worried.Although Sudou was followed up before and said to be careful of Sudou, but after getting along for so long, he always put in feelings.

After hearing Taya's description, Shinto looked at him incredulously, and said in surprise: "According to you, this thing in the newspaper is true?!"

"It should be." Taya didn't ask Sudou directly, but judging from his expression, this matter may not be groundless as they hoped.

Shinto covered his mouth and gasped in surprise, mental illness... Sudou actually has mental illness? !

——Xiaoyi, is this what you said is not simple? !

【Yes. 】

——Yes, but I never found anything wrong with Sudou!

【yes? 】

——Yes...Yes...

Facing Xiaoyi's rhetorical question, Shinto didn't even have the confidence to answer.Did you really not find anything wrong with Sudou?Sudou's strange eyes, his sudden change of personality... these, he just pretended not to notice...

"So what now? Is Sudou still in there?" Shinto asked, looking towards the dean's office at the end of the corridor.

Taya nodded worriedly, and then said worriedly: "If this matter is true, do you think the Kiin will expel Sudou?"

expulsion? !

Shindo suddenly looked at Taya and asked, "Is it that serious?"

"Now this matter has not only appeared in the sports newspapers, but also in the general news. Once the public opinion spreads, the pressure on the chess academy is also great." My father asked, and people with mental illness are not allowed to participate in the competition.

After hearing Taya's explanation, Shinto fell silent.Leaning against the wall, he stared blankly at the end of the corridor.

"Ah Hikaru? Taya? What's the matter with you?" Zuowei came to look for Shinto after the game was over, but unexpectedly saw two people buried by the shadows.

Shindo raised his head, looked at Sakai who was walking towards him as if asking for help, and said, "Taya said that Sudou might be fired..."

"What?!" Zuo's reaction was exactly the same as Shinto's, staring at Shinto and Toya with wide eyes in disbelief.

Taya repeated the news he had received from his father, and now even Sakai joined the ranks of silence.

Three people stood against the wall like sculptures, waiting for the door at the end of the corridor to open.

When Sudou pushed open the door, he was taken aback by the three excited people, and seeing the worry in their eyes, his heart was full of sadness but also revealed warmth.

He walked in front of the three of them with a smile on his face, as if he was not the party involved in the incident, as if nothing happened, the arc of the corner of his mouth never dropped.

"Why are you here? Are you waiting for me?" Sudou looked at them with raised eyebrows and said, "Let's go, let's go back together."

But none of the three of Shinto moved their legs. They looked at Sudou worriedly, frowning, hesitant, and wanted to ask but didn't know how to do so.

"Hey!" Sudou shook his head helplessly and sighed, shrugged and said, "Let's talk on the way, if you have any questions, I will answer them truthfully."

But even if Sudou said so, none of the three of them could open their mouths while walking on the road.At this time, for the first time, they felt that the chess academy was so close to home.

Walking all the way to Taya and Shinto's apartment, the three of them looked at Sudou with embarrassing faces, and in the end, no one asked any questions, even though they had a lot of questions in their hearts.

"Do you want me to go up with you?" Sudou completely saw through their thoughts, and helped them speak out very kindly.

Seeing the three people nodding in unison, Sudou smiled wryly and said, "Isn't I the one who hurt the most today? Why do I feel like I am comforting you now?"

Because of Sudou's performance, the three people who had been entangled slowly relaxed, and when the four of them sat around drinking tea, the atmosphere still became relaxed.

Swallowing a sip of tea, Taya opened up the box of this topic: "What did the chess academy say?"

"Oh." Sudou chuckled unexpectedly, "I thought you would first ask me if the report was true!"

After the three of Taya looked at each other, Yushinto said, "But what we are most concerned about is the decision of the Kiin, will you be okay?"

"Fired... I was fired..."

Sudo thought that he would not be sad when he said this. He was admitted as a professional shogi player in order to be able to meet Hikari Shindo. After accomplishing his goal, he thought that he would have no regrets when he was told that he was expelled, but who knows that his heart is still the same. It will hurt.

Thinking of everything he encountered when he was in the dean's office, the smile on Sudou's face could no longer be maintained.

an hour ago -

When called to the director's office, Sudou was so scared that he didn't know how to get in.After he reacted, he was already sitting on the sofa in the dean's room, and opposite him were the senior executives of the chess academy.

Everyone has a gloomy face, and everyone looks very difficult to deal with.There were only two people, and it was very obvious in a row of eight people.

One is the head of the Chess Academy, with worried eyes, and seeing someone worrying about him, Sudou couldn't help but curl his lips towards him.And the other one who stands out from the group of people is Nakamura Taro who has been against them all the time!

Looking at Sudou proudly, with a schadenfreude smile and the never-changing vicious eyes, looking at Nakamura like this, Sudou suddenly understood that this incident was definitely caused by this Nakamura!

"Sudou Takashi! You explain clearly!" A newspaper was thrown in front of Sudou.

Looking at the eye-catching font on the newspaper, the word 'mental illness' was like a sharp knife stabbing his chest, making him breathless.

"Sudou! Is it true?" The dean asked anxiously. If this matter is true, then no matter how much he tries to help, he will be unable to help!

He raised his eyes to look at the dean, curled the corners of his mouth, but his face was pale, so he pretended to be chic and said: "It's true, the evidence above is true."

"What did you say?!" A high-level executive slapped the table and said in an atmosphere, "Do you know that mental illness is not allowed to participate in the competition! You actually concealed such an important matter, have you ever considered the situation of the Chess Academy!"

"But my illness is under control! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been discharged, would I?" Sudou explained with his head down.

"Control! Do you think we don't know? There is no way to cure mental illness. If you control it, you may lose control at any time! How can you continue to participate in the competition in such a situation!" Another executive said.

And at this time, Nakamura suddenly said: "Since you admit that this matter is true, then the chess academy can only expel you!"

Sudou raised his head abruptly, and looked at Nakamura with cold eyes, which made Nakamura choke with fright, and he didn't dare to move while being stared at like this.

Withdrawing his eyes, Sudou looked at the dean and asked for help, "Is it just... Is this the way? I really like playing chess..."

Can't bear it!Seeing Sudou like this, the dean couldn't bear it very much.But the fact is so, the rules are so, there is nothing he can do!

Sighing and shaking his head, he cut off Sudou's last hope.

"how so……"

After hearing Sudou's words, Shinto murmured in disbelief.

"Actually, I already knew there would be such a day." Sudou said bitterly, "Many people know about my illness, and it's only a matter of time before it gets exposed."

"But you feel that there is nothing wrong with it!" Taya frowned, and he knew it was a rule, but he still felt a pity when he heard that Sudou was fired.

Sudou smiled, then shook his head and explained: "My disease can't be cured, it can only be controlled. It doesn't matter if it doesn't flare up, I don't know what will happen if it flares up..."

Although personality disorder can be effectively controlled by drugs and the condition can be well alleviated, it will never be cured.

This disease will follow him for the rest of his life.

On top of that, he suffered from schizophrenia due to a personality disorder.

How he used to live in the past, he has forgotten.All he knew was that he had been in the hospital, all white.

Sometimes he even hallucinated, sometimes he even felt that he was not alone.

"Then...you are fine now!" Shinto still felt strange, he couldn't imagine how could such a gentle person be schizophrenic?

Sudou looked deeply at Shinto, his smile and eyes revealed full of love, this time he didn't do anything to hide it, and conveyed this emotion very fully with his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine now..." Looking obsessively at the boy in front of him who changed his life, Sudou felt full of happiness.

"Shindo Hikaru...do you know? I am here because of you!"

"Eh? Me?!"

Shinto pointed at himself in surprise, he didn't understand why Sudou would say that.At the same time, he was also a little overwhelmed by Sudou's eyes.

"Well, without you, I might stay in the hospital for the rest of my life." Looking up and recalling everything at that time, Sudou said lonely, "At that time, the world without you was very lonely!"

Listening to Sudou's memories, no matter it was Shinto, Taya, and Sakai, they were all surprised and immersed in his story.

At the same time, it feels unbelievable that Hikari Shinto is really the most important person in Sudou Takashi's life...
