"Calm down, Shanoka, have you been doing problems lately, this is not a chess hall, it is a dormitory for students under the chess academy, who dares to kick here?" Shintaro Tamura walked out of the room with a toothbrush in his mouth, his face disdainful.

"That person's name is Ke Zhiguang, I have investigated before, and it seems that he performs very well in the team battle of high school students, but in the end, he is also a high school amateur player, and he can't compare with us majors."

With these words, a tall woman in sportswear turned out from the depths of the corridor, she combed a single ponytail that was not very good-looking, her face was not good-looking in the traditional sense, but it was exceptionally delicate, and she was now sweating on her forehead due to the previous morning exercise.

Her name is Soma Yajiang, and she is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Taohuazhai.

The last king, Hideo Morisaki, also arrived, and said in a tone of indifference: "Besides, we are not in the same camp, we will have to compete for the enemy of the scarce quota at that time, if he wants to kick, let him come, I will not accompany him at that time." ”

"What if he provokes you by name?" Yasuhiro Yamaoka stared straight at each other.

"Then I'll push you out, saying that you are equal to me, and killing you is equivalent to killing all of us." Hideo Morisaki spread out his arms, not meaning to be involved at all.

"I have a hunch that he will come, and not to defeat any of us, but to defeat all of us...... To put it a little more excessively, it's likely to be one-to-many, beating all four of us at the same time. Yasuhiro Yamaoka recalled a few facial photos with Ke Zhiguang in the past few days, and became more and more sure of this answer.

He could feel that Ke Zhiguang wanted to challenge them, but this person never took the initiative to propose, and kept this blood in his heart, which was a very restrained approach.

And the reason why people restrain themselves is often for a grander release, and when he comes back, he will definitely not be beaten one by one from bottom to top in an orderly manner, and it is very likely that he will be beaten together!

"That's even funnier, if he really succeeds in a pair of fours, then the four of us can also write a discharge letter, maybe we will never be qualified to touch Go again?" Hideo Morisaki still maintained a mocking tone.

The four of them are all people who have locked the early stage and are heading towards the second dan, and they are qualified to face the four of them at the same time, and I am afraid that in the entire chess world, there are only those masters who are in the year of playing more than seven dan, and I am afraid that the old eight dan is not enough.

And Ke Zhiguang, no matter how dazzling he achieved in the team battle of high school students, he was only a high school student, proving that he spent the first half of his life in the school classroom, and his strength was absolutely limited.

"Have you forgotten the legend of Harushima Isshin?" Yasuhiro Yamaoka said in a low voice.

The moment the name was announced, everyone seemed to have been hit by the effect line, and their expressions were fixed one by one.

"Harushima Isshin, the first time he entered here, he was also a pair of fours, and he defeated the four strongest chess players in Momosai, and Harushima Isshin is also the kind of person who learns chess very late, before he was just a worker who made ceramics in a factory in Seto, and then you connect him with Kezhiguang, don't you think it's another legend born?" Yasuhiro Yamaoka said.

In the face of Yasuhiro Yamaoka's pressing step by step, Hideo Morisaki finally relented: "I know, I know, anyway, I've been playing on the game console for a long time recently, and it's time to work harder on chess practice." ”

In this way, the pressure of involution suddenly hit the entire Taohuazhai, and another place was mobilized.

.....

.....

On the night of May 9, the lights in the building were extinguished one by one.

At the end of today's final explanation, Saito hammered his shoulder.

"Then let's get here tonight." Saito got up from his seat.

"Let's go first...... By the way, can you send me all your latest games? Ke Zhiguang said.

"Isn't my past reputation good?" Saito asked.

"It's better to be now, the closer the better, and the daily training is okay."

Faced with this proposal, Saito was stunned for a moment, and then smiled as if he understood.

"Tomorrow I'll bring my latest game with me, so you can rest well tonight." Saito said and pushed the door open.

"Walk slowly." Kochiko watched Saito leave, yawning and beating several times in quick succession.

It's time to be happy again, and the first thing to do is to move the chessboard from the coffee table to the desk, and then lie down on the revolving chair after work, as if you are the owner of the place.

After that, continue to play chess seriously.

Even he didn't expect that he would really live here temporarily, taking a bath in a public bathroom, sleeping on a sofa, and because there was no quilt, he had to wear clothes when he slept, otherwise he would catch a cold.

Fortunately, there is cold resistance +10 on [Swan Guardian], after blessing this effect, I am indeed not so afraid of the cold, hurry up and have a few more +10, and this year's trip to Hokkaido will be able to fly in waves.

Before he knew it, he had skipped the summer vacation plan and thought directly about the winter vacation.

Before, he was still complaining in his heart that only adults think about the end of the year, and students only think about the next vacation, such as summer vacation.

Yes, before he knew it, he had reached this stage of his life and began to think about things in years.

So, for the sake of this plan that he wants to achieve, to defend the lifestyle he wants, he must now give it his all and push his limits.

The limit of chess power.

The limits of the spirit.

and the limits of effort.

Sometimes, if you don't play with your life, you can really witness your own limits and break through your own bottleneck.

Tonight is a long night.

The flame of the seven days can continue to burn.

After ending the dispensable life perception, he once again focused his attention on the chessboard.

The chess pieces fell in the moonlight, and the sound of chess echoed in the night sky, and the whole of Tokyo listened to it.

......

.......

May 10, Yunjing Middle School.

Bai Meng is leading a team to intercept the principal.

"Headmaster! Be sure to stamp our submitted event plan! Bai Meng forcibly stuffed an activity plan launched in the name of the club into the principal's face, and the principal's left and right were strong men from the Go club, forcibly holding him up.

"Bai Meng, I know that you are very good, and the Go club has just made amazing achievements, but it is difficult for me to agree to this." The headmaster replied with a bitter face, as bitter as the Mediterranean Sea above his head.

This is a big plan, which needs to mobilize the students of the whole school to participate, usually this kind of activity is initiated by the student union, but considering the recent amazing championship of the Go department and the promotion of a celebrity, the Go department has become the first big group in the school, and there is capital to go beyond the procedure to do things directly.

"It will definitely not delay the progress of learning, just need to borrow the gymnasium a little, and it is also the activity place of our club!"

"yes, yes! Senior Brother Ke is so popular in our school, everyone must be willing to vote for him! ”

"If Senior Brother Ke stays, it will also be a good thing for the school, next year's admission season, there will be hundreds or even thousands of students to visit this school, and the enrollment rate will create a historical record!"

Facing the students who were surrounded by layers and were reluctant to resist, the principal suddenly had a feeling that he was going to be defeated.

According to local tradition, this is highly likely.

To be honest, Ke Zhiguang, the principal of the student, is also paying attention, and he also talked about him through casual chats with Cang Yuqiao, and learned that Ke Zhiguang is about to worship under the sect of Saito Arithmetic Nine Sections, which can be described as a promising future, and if he drops out, it may be a matter of a few days, and the seven-day holiday he invited is a signal before dropping out.

In the principal's view, Ke Zhiguang's withdrawal from school will become a certainty, but the true feelings of the students in front of him are really moving, and the principal is willing to be moved by them.

But this may not be able to impress Ke Zhiguang, Ke Zhiguang will not choose to reduce the time of Go and continue to stay in school because of the retention of his friends, right? Probably not, right?

The principal finally relented: "I can stamp it, but if you want to actually carry out the campaign, you have to collect a thousand signatures from the students, is that okay?" A thousand student signatures are required for this proposal to be implemented. ”

"Well, no problem, I believe in Guangjun's appeal."

After getting the principal's promise, Bai Meng immediately took people into action to find every student who might sign for Ke Zhiguang.

But Mizujo didn't do much, just closed his eyes, and then returned to his seat in the classroom from the hallway to wait for the lesson.

......

......

On the night of May 11, the night was already dark.

Ke Zhiguang hummed a minor tune and went downstairs to a convenience store, intending to get some coffee and bento to replenish his nighttime combat power.

This life has been repeated for several days, and it has the charm of adult life, where adults always have to face the silent streets in the middle of the night, accompanied only by street lamps along the way.

In a sense, the Internet café teenagers who stay up all night every day also feel this way.

But fortunately, now is the era of convenience store development, 7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart these brands are crazy to open stores, and each convenience store is a warm oasis on the street in the middle of the night.

Just as he was about to check out, a bottle of coffee was handed to him.

"This one is for you." A transparent and dexterous girl's voice rang out.

Counterpart..... It's actually Inoue Xingcai.

"Are you still out shopping so late?" Ke Zhiguang took the coffee without any resistance.

"Aren't you the same, I see that you come out late lately to buy food at this store, do you live nearby?" Inoue asked.

"Yes, I lived in Saito's small study." Ke Zhiguang looked outside the convenience store and found that it was indeed quite close to the women's dormitory, and it was just right to see here from the upper floor.

Could it be that his actions in the last few days have been regarded by Harushima Deer and Inoue as rape?

"Then why did you come out so late, did you practice to this point?" Inoue continued to ask.

"Yes, what about you?"

"I'm the same, I've been reprimanded by Haruma seniors for not having a strong sense of victory or defeat at the key point, and I've been guided until now."

"Then she's quite dutiful."

"yes, I thought you'd say she's a devil." Inoue smiled lightly.

"Oh, that's right, it's quite devilish, it's all about this."

"Okay, no kidding, let's work together.

"Effort."

After walking out of the convenience store, the two were walked into their respective battlefields.

......

......

On the afternoon of May 12th, dusk fell, and the invisibly agreed moment was getting closer and closer.

In the chess academy, the day's classes have also ended, and the students can decide to continue to study according to their own situation, or go back to the dormitory to rest.

"Let me go back! I've been working hard enough lately! My new console is still waiting for me to unpack! Hideo Morisaki was about to leave, but was firmly locked in place by Yasuhiro Yamaoka.

"Don't be kidding, tomorrow will be the day when Ke Zhiguang will kill, if you don't prepare completely now, you will be bloodied tomorrow!"

"! You say tomorrow is tomorrow? Have you communicated with him beforehand? ”

"He has already done the ninth question of the "Daily Practice" at the door of our apartment today, and he will complete the tenth question tomorrow!"

"And then? What does this have to do with him coming? ”

"Because my record happens to be nine consecutive correct questions, he just equaled my record today, and he will definitely come to break my record tomorrow, he must want to take advantage of the momentum of breaking my record and beat us all!"

"What the hell is that! Let me go! ”

In the end, Hideo Morisaki didn't make it, and honestly stayed and continued to play the score.

The invisible pressure came quietly along the approach of time, and everyone knew that this moment would come, but they didn't know what power this moment would appear.

Kzhiguang is coming。

Kezhiguang is coming, probably this is the taste.

For Yasuhiro Yamaoka, this person has turned into winter.

On the other hand, Bai Meng's plan to collect signatures has also entered the final stage.

It's the end of school day, the students are leaving the school in droves, and only some of the PE people are still on the playground.

"I'm sorry, can I delay you for a while, do you know the ...... Belch? Signed already? Sorry to bother. ”

I stopped several students in a row, and the answers I got were that they had already signed their names.

"The students are all gone, so you can almost count the number of names, right?" The dean of teaching, who had been assigned to oversee the event, urged from the sidelines.

The statistics began, but the tables were pieced together at the end, and it was found that ..... One is missing?

It just happened to be stuck on the number 999!

"It's not such a coincidence, is it, impartially stuck on such an evil number?"

"Quick, go and pull someone again, coercion and temptation have to engrave his name!"

"It's gone, everyone in our club has signed, and everyone in the sports department has signed it, and there is really no one anymore!"

The members shouted in unison.

Bai Meng gradually lowered his head.

"It seems that his voice in this school is not high enough, and he is not popular enough, so he can't stay." Shaonomiya put his arm around her shoulder.

"I ..... Will accept this result well. Bai Meng sighed gloomily.

"I can sign one more!"

Shuicheng's voice suddenly sounded behind everyone.

She was holding her knees as if she had gone through a thousand-mile run, her chest heaving and her schoolbag hanging at her feet.

Maybe I had already decided to leave the school, but halfway through, I suddenly felt a tuging in my chest, and then ran back to the school uncontrollably, just to get my name down.

"Shuicheng, didn't you sign it before?" Ping Shisheng asked from the side.

"Yes, I didn't sign it, how could I agree with this kind of stupid thing, and want to forcibly use your voice to keep others or something, you should give me some consideration for Xiaoguang's own feelings..... But what can I do, because I really want him to stay. Shui Cheng held down his undulating chest and walked, the words were also very light, but very sincere.

She came to Bai Meng, snatched the form from the other party's hand, and left her name at the bottom.

The strength of the signature is very great, and the sound of the pen is very eye-catching, as if it is carved with a knife.

"I'll give it back to you after signing it, and now I'm the same as you." Shui Cheng fiercely stuffed the pen and the list into Bai Meng's arms.

Then she walked away without looking back.

Under the sunset, everyone was watching her back when she left, and Bai Meng even felt a little sour in the corners of her eyes.

"That's okay, it's a result, at least it can prove that you really fought for him." Shaogong sighed and said to Bai Meng.

"Next, it's up to you, Ke Zhiguang, the field has already warmed you up." Shaogong finally set his eyes on the sky of the remnant sun.

.....

......

On the night of May 12, the hour hand turned to the twelfth and came to the thirteenth.

Ke Zhiguang was sleepy and yawning when he suddenly noticed a string of red question marks appear in the corridor outside.

The question mark also sneaked down the hallway, eventually stopping in front of the office.

There is not a single sound of footsteps yet.

Ke Zhiguang's yawn stuck back, and he was immediately not sleepy by this scene.

What kind of Hong Kong-style office building ghost movie plot is this?

"Good evening, Harushima?"

"Ahhh I haven't knocked on the door yet, how do you know I'm coming, it's scared to death. ”

"To be reasonable, you're lurking in the hallway like a ghost, and you scare me." Ke Zhiguang walked up and opened the door, "Your original plan was to knock on the door suddenly and scare me or something, right?" ”

As if his true thoughts had been exposed, Harushima's shoulders trembled.

"I ..... I don't have that naïve idea. ”

Oh, it turns out that she also knows that this is a childish idea.

"I just heard from Xingcai that you stayed in Saito's study nearby and came to see you."

"Did you bring me something to eat?" Kojimitsu meows behind her and finds something resembling a bento.

"Ahem, this should be a thank you gift for helping me catch the doll." Harushima Ka brought up a half-price pork chop bento that he had bought from the convenience store downstairs.

After being disturbed for countless days, it has returned to the half-price pork chop bento, which is inexplicably nostalgic.

"Have you stayed here?" Harushima deer looked around and found many traces of life.

"Don't worry, tonight is the last night." Ke Zhiguang put aside his chopsticks and ate the pork chop bento.

Sure enough, no matter what kind of food, as long as it is labeled as half price, it will taste good.

"How long have you been here?"

"A week."

"You can actually live in this kind of place for a week, and there is not even a bed in this place......" Harushima Deer suddenly admired Ke Zhiguang's heart that could withstand simple facilities.

"I won't have this experience again in the future, and it's quite memorable in every sense." Ke Zhiguang propped his head and said, "If you don't have a strong vision, how can you complete this thorny road..... Even me. ”

"Hey! What's going on with the last sentence! It's too rampant, take it out, take it out!

"Oh, sorry, irritated you."

"Go, go, go, baa."

Sure enough, it was fun to tease her.

"So what is your vision? It's worth your hard work for a week. Harushima asked rhetorically, looking into Kojimitsu's eyes.

In her opinion, Ke Zhiguang should belong to the kind of super-talented chess player who is too lazy, but God is a super-talented chess player who appreciates food and eats, and this kind of person has absolutely no low requirements for the quality of life, and he should not be able to stand it for a week here no matter what.

"My vision is simple, it is...... I want everything. Kojimitsu let go of his chopsticks and gestured forward with his fists clenched.

It's like grabbing both sides at the same time.

Harushima deer seems to understand.

"It's very difficult to think of anything." Harushima Deer said.

"I know, so I'm going to take a quiz."

"What quiz?" Harushima asked.

"It's the test you gave me at the time, the original quiz...... You said to me, who had just learned chess at the time, let me be nine sons, and if I win you, it will prove that I have the strength to become a professional chess player, and if I can't win you, I will quit honestly, and at most I will take Go as a hobby, right? ”

Hearing this, Harushima Deer's face turned red, as if the history of the two blacks in the middle had been revealed.

"That's it! It's just, it's just a whim, the kind that hasn't been thought about, it can't be counted! ”

"Thank you very much for doing that test on me at the time, although the subsequent result turned into me and you evenly matched, which was a bit contrary to the original intention at the time, but now I decided to try this test again, to test whether I can hold both sides at the same time, it is a challenge to the limit."

"That'..... What if the challenge fails? ”

Ke Zhiguang said upright and awe-inspiring: "Of course, it is the same as the failure condition you offered at that time, the failure condition of that time was that I completely gave up the chess path, and this time the failure condition was ...... It was when I gave up my normal study life completely. ”

"Original..... So you still have ideas about these things. After being lost for a while, Harushima Deer let out a reluctant wry smile, with a little envy.

"Not only do I have ideas, but I also have a big idea, but if I can ask for them all, I will never ask for one less." Ke Zhiguang responded to the other party's eyes with a firm and clear gaze.

He stretched out his fist towards Harushima Deer, and Harushima Deer quickly returned the punch.

The soft touch came from the fingers, as if rubbed by a kitten.

"Then go and fight, do you hear me?"

"Definitely, successfully."

The last flames of the Seven Days erupted, pushing the long night to the end.

.....

......

May 13th, the day was no different than usual.

As time passed, so did the people and cars, and so did the wind.

Saito pushed open the door to his study's office, knowing it was unlocked.

"You're here, Saito-sensei." Ke Zhiguang sat in front of his desk and said, deliberately leaving him the master's seat facing the door.

The chessboard in front of him was empty.

There is also a clock next to it, which is not needed for regular chess practice.

"Is that today? I thought it would come later. Saito sighed with a smile, ready for a long time.

"Yes, it's today, you and I will have a game first..... 10 seconds of rapid chess. ”
