The strongest witch is a boy [Comprehensive]

At eight o'clock, Shiina Kyo stood at the gate of the Nihon Ki-in, and was speechless to find that the Ki-in had sent more than one person to greet him—of course, he also greeted the group of TV crews who followed him.

Rito Shibata came forward to complete all the communication, and "candidate Shiina Kyo" was finally able to enter the chess academy.

However, as soon as Shiina Kyo walked into Nihon Ki-in, he found a difference.

How could this kind of place with spotless glass and reflective floors be compared with the "historical" Qiyuan when I saw it last time!

Kobe Kikuemon, he really renovated the entire chess academy except the gate——!

It's only been two months!

In two months, several floors were actually renovated!

Shiina Jing thought about it carefully. When he came to sign up before, the reception teacher of the chess academy was still wearing some old clothes, but the staff members of the chess academy who had smiles on their faces just now seemed to be dressed in [-]% new clothes. The shirt is straight and the tie is brand new, and the collar clip is classy at first glance. It is tailored to the body. It is absolutely impossible to be a batch model in the store. It must be a custom-made suit. The whole set of clothes highlights one important point-expensive!

Kobe Kikuemon wouldn't even sponsor all the outfits of the Kiin staff, right?

Shiina Kyo couldn't help but think back to Shibata Rito's understatement before going out, "For better shooting effect".

For the effect of shooting...?

Shiina Jing walked all the way through the corridors and elevators, feeling more and more certain in her heart. Every change here is written in Japanese yen. The brand new floor and the mirror-like elevator wall must still be within the period of return and replacement. It is estimated that the installation It didn't take long - so many things were moved, but there was no smell of paint or formaldehyde, probably the materials used here were not ordinary materials.

However, that's not all.

When Shiina Kyo walked outside the examination room and saw other candidates waiting, he didn't want to talk at all.

Everyone here—that’s right, everyone, everyone who comes to take the exam, all of them are dressed in gowns and exquisite makeup, and it’s obvious at a glance that they are all masters, and every hair can’t be blown out by laymen As a result, Shengsheng raised the appearance level here by [-] percentage points.

Is this called "other candidates will be notified before the preliminaries"?

This is obviously because the "shooting effect" of the other candidates has been improved before the preliminaries have started, right? !

Is he really preparing for the professional chess player exam today? Why does he feel like he is here for a TV show audition today?

Shiina Jing silently clenched the folding fan in her hand, and spoke to the chess master in her heart.

[Mr. Xiu Ce, how are you feeling now? ]

Honinbo Shusaku smiled lightly, covered his mouth with his sleeve, and answered in a low voice.

[I am very relieved to see so many people who love Go. ] Well, as long as you are happy.

Shiina Kyo could only smile, and silently stood aside, waiting for the examiner to arrange the exam.

What Shiina Kyo doesn't know is that now he is gentle and warm with a somewhat helpless and tolerant smile, and the leisure and tranquility shown because of his confidence is like a breeze, blowing away the anxiety and hustle and bustle, and his posture of standing quietly It has the elegance of an older age that has disappeared in time, and it is quiet and picturesque.

This pure beauty made the various gazes around him disappear from hostility and become friendly, and dozens of pairs of eyes involuntarily looked at the black-haired boy.

This scene was faithfully filmed by the camera, and it successfully caused a sensation when it was broadcast a week later, attracting millions of fans to "Chess Shiina Kyo".

There are a total of five days of preliminaries for professional chess players. Those who take the exam need to play games for five consecutive days. Those who win three times can enter the official competition in January.

Among the students of the Chess Academy, eight people can be exempted from participating in the preliminary selection of the year and start directly from the main competition. This system is not to protect the students of the chess academy, but to protect the contestants outside the chess academy—because generally speaking, the students of the academy are based on the Talented teenagers who are career-oriented always have a little advantage over foreign candidates who only play chess part-time.

The upper age limit for the academy students is that if they have not passed the examination as a professional chess player, they must leave the chess academy. However, they can still take the professional examination as foreign candidates before they reach the age of [-].All the college students were divided into two groups according to their grades, and the top eight in one group were the eight people with small privileges.

Among this year's students, Ikaku Shinichiro and Hetani Yoshitaka were once again qualified to be exempted from the test, but they still came to the chess academy. Shinichiro came over to watch the match.

As soon as the two of them entered the chess academy, they were taken aback because there were a lot of people carrying cameras, and a close-up of He Gu Yigao's surprised appearance was inevitably captured. Only then did he remember that the instructor had indeed said today Someone will film the whole exam, and immediately drag Shinichiro Ikaku into the room quickly, for fear of being caught again.

After walking into the elevator, He Gu Yigao breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled forcefully.

"It's an exaggeration! It's amazing to have a young master come to take a career test this year, and there are so many TV stations filming it. It seems that the Chess Academy has suddenly become rich recently. It is said that it may consider increasing the living allowance for the students in the future. Yijiao, have you considered buying a computer? We can play chess online!"

Shinichiro Ikaku also relaxed his body a little, and said a little uncomfortably: "For the time being...haven't considered it yet. Maybe it will be sent home."

"Your family still doesn't approve of you learning chess?" He Gu Yigao shook his head with puffed cheeks, "Fortunately, my family supports me. By the way, I heard that the chess academy may hold a competition for low-level chess players. It is said to encourage young chess players to have more experience in tournaments."

Shinichiro Ikaku was aroused and asked curiously: "Is there such a thing? That's really good. There are too few tournaments for young chess players to participate in. Large-scale tournaments are often monopolized by high-level chess players, and there is a lack of high-level games. , the improvement of chess strength is very limited, and now there is such a game, if it can be successfully held, it will be a good thing for us."

"It's really a good thing." Wagu Yigao said, "At the last seminar, Morishita-sensei mentioned that this competition is limited to professional chess players under the age of 20 and below the fifth dan, and urged me to pass the professional examination quickly. But How can it be so simple... This year there is an extra young master, and one quota is lost all of a sudden. Sigh..."

Shinichiro Ikaku sighed and said, "On the other hand, the increase in talented chess players is also a good thing for the chess world."

Hegu Yigao sighed exaggeratedly, put his hands behind his head, "Yes, yes, it's a great thing. In a few years, Master Taya may also come to take the vocational exam. No, I have to pass the vocational exam quickly. Exam, I want to be his senior!"

Shinichiro Ikaku knew that Yoshitaka Kazuya and Taya Ryo had a "festival", so he didn't say much, and concluded realistically: "In short, let's work hard this year. If you are admitted to the profession, you will have more opportunities to play games."

He Gu Yigao nodded.

"Of course! Let's go and see the preliminaries over there first. I don't know how strong this year's candidates are."

Shinichiro Ikaku and Yoshitaka Watani walked lightly to the match room that was used as the examination room today, and after taking a look, they were shocked by the situation inside.

Is this an idol drama or a documentary?

Why did some people who had finished the game not leave but sat on their seats and stared at the young master over there! ! !

Just as He Gu Yigao was about to talk, the instructor suddenly appeared, covered his mouth, dragged He Gu Yigao away quietly, and only explained the current situation to the two of them after returning to the office.

The whole thing is not difficult to explain, and it is clear in a few words.

"...In other words, this time the test video will be broadcast on many TV stations?" Shinichiro Ikaku concluded, "However, I think most of the cameras are aimed at Shiina-kun."

The chess teacher said naturally: "Of course! This is the commemorative short film that Ms. Kobe made for Master Shiina!"

"……what?"

"what?"

The commemorative short film... and... the official video of the TV station... seems to be a bit far apart, right?

Izuku Shinichiro and Watani Yoshitaka were both stunned.

Only then did the teacher of the Chess Academy realize that he had leaked the truth, and quickly made a "shh" gesture to the two of them, and said in a low voice, "You know that the Chess Academy has been sponsored by the Kobe Foundation recently, right? This Miss Kobe is Shiina-kun "In order not to miss any of His Highness Shiina's facial expressions, please be sure to let the person I send shoot the whole process"—this is the original words of the young lady. Afterwards, Mr. Kobe turned the solo documentary to It has become the whole recording and broadcasting of this year's professional chess player selection, just to promote it to the chess academy."

It took a while for Shinichiro Ikaku and Yoshitaka Watani to digest this passage, and they could only sum up their feelings in one sentence.

"...rich people..."

The chess academy teacher over there is still expressing his thoughts endlessly. Obviously, he has been wanting to say these words for a long time, but it was difficult to find a suitable person to confide in before, and this time he finally had a chance.

"Although I was very worried before, for people who don't know Go, such a game must be very boring, and there will be no ratings at all, right? But after seeing Master Shiina, I feel relieved. I think, even if it's just for more Watch Master Shiina for a while—even if you can only get a hand shot, there will be many people who are willing to stand in front of the TV. Moreover, after the game is over, there will be a personal interview! All those who take the exam will have a 1-minute personal interview Interview, if you are lucky, maybe it will be loved by audiences all over the country immediately!"

Shinichiro Ikaku touched the cold sweat dripping from his head, he couldn't really say that he felt that the teacher was a little possessed.

He Gu Yigao complained directly: "I think only the eldest young master may be loved by the audience all over the country! There are also sloppy uncles among the candidates, how could he be popular!"

"As long as there is Master Shiina, that's enough!" The teacher of the chess academy opened up his dream with glowing eyes, "We have already discussed it! There are fewer and fewer children learning chess now. If things go on like this, the chess world will definitely be affected, and the chess academy is not well managed. It has been a serious illness for many years, so, in order to save the chess world, we must change the past concepts, make Go become a fashion, and let chess players become idols! In this way, there will be a steady stream of new blood joining the chess world!"

Hegu Yoshitaka turned his head and whispered to his friend Shinichiro Ikaku, "Is this a dream?"

Izuku Shinichiro shook his head dumbly.

"……I don't know either……"

"All in all, I believe that the appearance of Master Shiina is like a light that illuminates the darkness for the Qiyuan! Soon, the spring of the Qiyuan will come!"

"...Is it really still a dream?"
