>> Try again, fail again, fail better.

Ah, that's the truth about Ryo Taya's desire to run away from home. In short, even Taya Ryo, who seems to be well-behaved and obedient, has a rebellious period. Liu Fanxu returned home, and after communicating with his parents, he returned to his room. Turn on the computer and log on to the online game of Go, this account was registered during a trip to South Korea, at that time to facilitate the game with Taya Liang.

"Xiao Liang should have just arrived home, counting the time spent communicating with Mr. Taya, he won't be online anytime soon. So, just find someone for the next game~" Liu Fanxu held his chin and looked for an opponent in the list. Her ID name is still the name of this body, so as long as there are people who play online Go in familiar chess players, they will play a game with her when they see her online.

Today was no exception, after playing a game of rapid chess with Kurata Atsu, she rummaged through Xiao Liang's name and found that he was not yet online, so she planned to accept an invitation to play with another chess player. At this time, she suddenly saw a somewhat familiar name - Gao Yongxia. Since she came back from South Korea, she has made up for the Korean language, so she recognized the ID name written in Korean at a glance.

"Isn't this the arrogant boy who played chess with me in the Korean chess academy?" Liu Fanxu hooked the corners of his lips, moved the mouse, and clicked to agree to the battle, "Let me see if it's you, Gao Yongxia." ”

If she didn't know who Gao Yongxia was when she met by chance in South Korea, then when she came back to find out, she clearly knew that this young man was already a future pillar who stood proudly at the pinnacle of South Korea. The defeat of Gao Yongxia by Hikaru Shinto, who has Liu Fanxu's inner core, has been rumored in the Korean Chess Academy. However, it has nothing to do with her.

However, since we met on the Internet, it is not a big deal to come to a game. After setting the battle time, Liu Fanxu still held white, and Gao Yongxia held black. In a bedroom in a neighborhood in Seoul, South Korea, a tall boy in a white shirt swept away his previous casual expression and stared at the monitor with a solemn face.

He whispered a name in Korean, "Hikaru Shinto, Hikaru?" "Could it be her?" After pondering for a few seconds, he clicked on the application to invite the battle without hesitation.

After more than a dozen steps, the two had already determined each other's identities in their hearts. Gao Yongxia squinted his eyes and sprinted to attack without hesitation, Liu Fanxu was not the wind of defending the city. All of a sudden, the chessboard was full of rage. Although Liu Fanxu won with one eye in the end, the trembling and coercion during the game made a thin layer of sweat float on her back.

After the system divided the winners and losers, Liu Fanxu found that the number of onlookers had reached a considerable number. She laughed twice, and was thinking about simply going offline today, but Gao Yongxia sent a dialog box again.

To the effect that it was agreed to fight again at the same time tomorrow, Liu Fanxu frowned, and he didn't know how to answer. Ta Yaliang's application for the game was sent, Liu Fanxu clicked to accept it without hesitation, and then sent a message: "Xiaoliang, it's so slow!" ”

"That game just now, it was very exciting!" Taya Ryo replied, "Xiaoguang has become stronger again, but I'm not bad!" Liu Fanxu replied, "It's almost a game!" "Playing chess without a word is already the highest level of bickering between the two. As for Gao Yongxia's request for a battle just now, it was completely left behind by Liu Fanxu.

I have to say that if this continues, she may be assimilated by this identity a little bit. It's just that Liu Fanxu, who is immersed in the way of Go, has not yet noticed this subtle horror.

Gao Yongxia, who didn't get a reply from Liu Fanxu on the Korean side, angrily threw the mouse on the table. After holding her chest and groaning for a while, she couldn't help but click into the game room and watch her play against others.

After seeing that her opponent was obviously a little different from her, she patiently reviewed with the opponent after the chess game was over. Gao Yongxia guessed that the account holder named Liang knew Hikaru Shinto, and the relationship was very good, thinking of this, Gao Yongxia was a little unhappy and began to be jealous of this chess player named Liang.

Gao Yongxia, who was in an unhappy mood, naturally couldn't see others happy, so he clicked on Tong Liang's game application with a full of provocation, he wanted to see how strong this chess player who was treated by Shinto Hikaru was really strong.

The next day, at the Go salon, Taya Ryo laid out the game he played with Gao Yongxia yesterday. Liu Fanxu was still sitting opposite him, raised his hand and pointed to the chess board and said, "It's a pity, there was a mistake in judgment here, otherwise Gao Yongxia would have lost half of his eyes." ”

"Well, I walked into a misunderstanding at that time, or because I had too little experience in combat." Taya Liang clenched his fists and continued, "Xiaoguang, you said that this Gao Yongxia is a graduate student of the Korean Chess Academy? ”

"I guess I'm already a professional chess player, he." Liu Fanxu held his chin and continued, "Sure enough, it is correct to choose to take the vocational exam." In this way, you can play more and more games of this kind of winning and losing situation. ”

"Yes, the thought of many, many such masters waiting for me to challenge makes my body tremble." Taya Liang looked down at his hands and whispered, "However, until then, I will definitely surpass you." ”

"Hey, Xiaoliang, I won't wait where I am all the time~" Liu Fanxu retorted with crooked eyebrows. Taya looked at her sharply and continued, "It doesn't matter how fast you run, I won't be thrown off by you. Little light! ”

Ta Ya Liang and Liu Fanxu had already received the notice of the Tongguò professional exam a few days ago, however, they did not relax their spirits, because today's last game was their first match on an official occasion. They were all looking forward to it, Liu Fanxu sat down in front of the chessboard early, and Ta Yaliang was no exception.

The two of them lowered their eyelids and looked at the chessboard in silence. Tayaliang's fingertips trembled slightly, and his fighting intent grew higher and higher. Liu Fanxu glanced at him and curled the corners of his lips. Because the two are too familiar with each other's chess paths, the layout after the opening game, the two tacitly use rapid chess.

Later, after Xiao Liang started the war, Liu Fanxu was not to be outdone. The two of them no longer had any casual moves or missed moves, so the rhythm of the whole game was tighter, and neither gave anyone room to breathe. After a while, a layer of sweat overflowed from both of their foreheads.

It wasn't until mid-game that the chess academy teacher announced a timeout. Liu Fanxu and Ta Yaliang have not been able to ease their minds from the extreme tension of the fight. Unconsciously, there were many people around them, and they looked at their plate with a solemn face, and their hearts were sad.

Sure enough, this year's vocational exam is particularly difficult! They sighed in unison, and then left in silence to go to lunch. After all, they no longer need to face these two people, and only have the chance to fight hard for the last spot.

"Have lunch, huh?" Liu Fanxu's eyes lifted from the chessboard, she looked at Ta Yaliang and said, "I brought a bento, all of which you like to eat." Taya nodded and stood up on the ground, raising his hand to rub his stomach, and muttering, "I'm really hungry, but I'm only half of it." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of the rest, really, I can't abuse my appetite like this because I'm afraid of lack of oxygen to my brain. Be careful not to grow tall, Xiaoliang! Liu Fanxu walked beside him, puffing out his cheeks and complaining.

"All I need to do is be taller than you, Hikaru." Ta Yaliang replied with a smile, Liu Fanxu stared at him in surprise and puffed out his cheeks and retorted, "Don't be too confident, what if you are really not as tall as me?" ”

"Then will you dislike me?" Ta Yaliang said with a handsome little face, as if aggrieved. Liu Fanxu choked, trembled his lips and complained, "Xiaoliang, it's too foul, you actually use a beauty trick on me!" ”

Although Liu Fanxu was fascinated by beauty, she subconsciously agreed that she would not dislike his height, but she was still determined to carry out the red flag all the way to the end. In the end, Liu Fanxu successfully passed the guò professional exam with a complete victory, while Taya Liang followed with a defeat.

After the professional exams, they didn't have any games or activities to participate in until the New Year's New Year and the first part of the league. Therefore, during this time, they began to prepare for the entrance exam. After all, after the New Year, they are born in middle school. Liu Fanxu and Ta Yaliang gathered at the Go salon to play chess after school as usual, and occasionally talked about a word or two about school in between.

"Xiaoguang, have you decided which school to go to?" Taya asked softly as he lowered his eyes as he looked at the chessboard.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Liu Fanxu puffed out his cheeks and replied indifferently, "It's the same everywhere, anyway, when we celebrate the New Year, we will slowly get busy, and when the time comes, I won't have the heart to think about school matters, so it's the same everywhere." ”

"Then Xiaoguang also come to Neptune Middle School, if you come with me, it will be more convenient to study." Ta Yaliang raised his eyes to look at Liu Fanxu and said softly, "This way we will have more time together." ”

"Well, I think so too, but our neighbor discussed with my mother a few days ago, hoping that I could go to a school with their daughter, it seems to be called Haze Middle School or something, saying that it is a middle school, and girls and girls can have a good time together, I don't know what my mother thinks, and she actually told me to let me think about it." Liu Fanxu made a bitter face, met Ta Yaliang's gaze, and continued, "You know, I still want to try to satisfy my mother's thoughts in other things besides Go. ”

"That's right," Taya lowered his eyelids in disappointment, the expression on his face as if he was about to cry, "I thought we would always be together, whether it was on the road of chasing the hand of the gods, or in ordinary life. It's so sad to be told to go to a different school all of a sudden! ”

"Xiaoliang" Liu Fanxu looked at him, and the guilt in her heart actually rolled, she moved her lips and compromised, "Okay, I'll go and discuss with my mother, after all, she didn't completely make up her mind, she just asked me to visit the school festival of Ye Se Middle School." I will go to the kingdom of Aquaman, with you, Xiaoliang. ”

"Really?" Taya's expression lit up instantly, his eyes shone with a sparkling glow, and he looked at her with a flickering and continued, "Great, Xiaoguang, so that we will have more and more time to play chess together!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Fanxu nodded helplessly, she sighed in her heart, feeling that she was becoming more and more unable to refuse Ta Yaliang's request.

When she went home and told her mother about her idea, she only hesitated for a moment and agreed to her idea. After all, compared to the Fujisaki family, who are not very familiar with it, the Taya family is closer to them. After all, the children of the two families have been learning Go together since they were 2 years old, and Liu Fanxu is a disciple of Taya Xingyang, so he is more relieved than his new friends.

After finalizing the future of the country, Ta Yaliang and Liu Fanxu only have to wait for the notification letter of the new early league, and they don't know who will be the leader of her first battle to step into the world of professional chess players. Because this time, she worshiped under the Taya Gate early, so it is impossible for Taya Yukiyo to designate her specifically. This time, the match between Shinto Mitsushin and the top chess players in the early stage of the league is unknown.

On a Saturday morning in the third week of December, Liu Fanxu walked towards Taya's house wrapped in a thick woolen coat and a thick hat, trembling and stepping on the snow. Last week, Ryo Taya just finished his new early league against one of the title holders. Although he lost the game in the end, even counting the handicap, Taya Ryo played his sharp style, and it was a good game.

And her new early stage of the league has also set the game time, just tomorrow morning, the opponent is Sang Ben Inbo. Liu Fanxu looked up at the snowflakes that were still falling in the sky, but he didn't feel nervous in his heart, but a very strange peace. She exhaled, forming a white mist. She smiled and waved her heavily gloved arms and spun in a stupid circle.

"Didi!" A car whistle sounded beside her, Liu Fanxu turned her head to look at the place where the sound came from, but saw a dazzling red sports car slowly parked beside her. The window was slowly lowered, and the man sitting in the driver's seat, still wearing a smart white suit, raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, hooked the corners of his lips and said, "Girl, get in the car!" ”

"Big brother!" Liu Fanxu smiled happily and narrowed his eyes, on such a cold day, he was so lucky to meet a hitchhiker! With small steps, she quickly walked around to the passenger seat, pulled the door and got in. When the car started slowly, she leaned back in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's decide the opponent of the new early league." Seiji Ogata glanced sideways at Liu Fanxu, who was wrapped in a spherical object, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! It's Kuwamoto Inbo. Liu Fanxu nodded effortlessly, she raised her hands, stroked her somewhat crooked hat, and continued, "It's tomorrow morning." ”

"I'll go and see it." Ogata Seiji said in a low voice, he reached over and rubbed Liu Fanxu's head, and continued helplessly, "Is it really so cold?" Wrapped so tightly. ”

"Avoid the unsettling elements that could affect tomorrow's game. Take precautions before you catch a cold! Liu Fanxu blinked his eyes and replied as a matter of course.

When the car stopped on the side of the road, Liu Fanxu climbed out of the car with great difficulty, and without waiting for Ogata Seiji to lock the door, she rushed to the courtyard of Taya's house and raised her hand to press the doorbell. When Mrs. Taya opened the door, she saw Liu Fanxu's outfit and dragged her into the house in distress. helped her take off her gloves, hat and coat, and complained in a nagging voice, "Didn't you say that there was a game tomorrow?" Why are you coming here today, it's snowing, it's such a cold day, it's really, you really have to come, and call in advance, I'll ask someone to pick you up, run over by yourself, is it frozen? ”

"It's okay, Auntie, I met Senior Brother on the road, and he brought me over!" Liu Fanxu explained while sorting out his messy hair.

"That's true, but I've only taken her a small part," Seiji Ogata pushed his glasses and continued, "Next time Hikaru calls me, I'll pick you up at your house." ”

"Don't bother the senior brother, it's very convenient for me to take the subway." Liu Fanxu sneered twice and declined, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Taya and continued, "The teacher is in the chess room, right?" ”

"Let's go, let's go, as soon as I come, I want to enter the chess room, it's all the same, is Go really so attractive?" Mrs. Taya walked towards the kitchen while reading in pieces, Liu Fanxu smirked embarrassedly twice, and hurriedly ran towards the chess room. Seiji Ogata shook his head and followed her away helplessly.

In the middle of the chess room sat Taya Yukihiro, who was looking down at the chessboard, and next to him were Taya Ryo and Ashihara Hiroyuki. Hearing the sound of the door of the chess room being opened, Ta Yaliang looked at the door, and when he saw that it was Liu Fanxu, he immediately greeted her with a smile and crooked eyebrows. Liu Fanxu walked quickly to him and knelt down, leaned his body slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Which game is the teacher going to discuss today?" ”

Without waiting for Taya Ryo to answer, Ashihara Hiroyuki opposite them said, "It's Kuwahara Inbo's chess game last week," he continued with a smile, "I heard that tomorrow is Xiaoguang's new preliminary tournament, this is a preparation drill specially for you~"

"Huh?" Liu Fanxu blinked and hurriedly looked at Taya Xingyang, but saw that he was still concentrating on the chess game, and did not explain too much, but according to what she has known about the teacher for so many years, this is equivalent to a default meaning.

"That old fox!" Ogata Seiji pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and scolded with a rather helpless smile, "Be careful of his psychological tactics, Xiaoguang, this old guy is not only a good player in Go." ”

"Yes!" Liu Fanxu nodded and humbly accepted the senior brother's prompt.

"Alright, let's take a look at this game." Taya Yukiyo dropped the last shot, put his hands into his cuffs, and whispered.
