That same evening.

Tokyo's neon lights are hazy in the night rain, and another thank-you banquet is held at a Japanese-style restaurant near Tokyo Bay in Minato-ku.

In the spacious Baiping room, several young people in formal attire sit around a dining table, and at the end of the table is an old man in a taupe kimono and another extraordinary-looking teenager.

"Come, let's toast to your senior brother to successfully win the only third-stage title this time!" The old man's long beard was happily raised, and he took the lead in raising a glass, and the teenagers below, who were obviously his students, also raised their glasses.

The teacher's name is Seiichi Suga, and he is also a nine-dan.

And the young man who sat next to Seiichi Suga and shared the position with him was naturally a senior brother.

It's a person who can feel his arrogance from his face.,Although the posture is quite upright.,Follow the etiquette of the teacher.,But the sharpness in the corners of the eyes can't be hidden.。

His name is Yabu Ruiren, and although he is a little too old compared to other children, considering that he did not learn chess until he was 13 years old, he can make great progress in just three years, which is enough to be called a generation of talented players.

"I naturally appreciate everyone's kindness, but the extra congratulations are still waived, there is no one at the same level who can stop me now." Yabu Ruiren said conceitedly.

A junior disciple next to him said calmly: "It is true that according to Senior Brother's current chess strength, whether it is to sweep ordinary academy students or defeat other disciples recommended by Jiudan, it should not be a problem, but I heard that Peach Blossom Zhai seems to have a very powerful character recently, which may hinder Senior Brother's road to winning the championship." ”

"There will be no such people, as rest assured as possible." Yabu Ruiren said.

Seiichi Suga said unhurriedly, "Yabu, your junior brother is right, there is indeed such a person. ”

"Who is he?" Yabu clenched the porcelain cup in his hand.

Suga Seiichi stroked his beard and said, "It's also fateful, he turned out to be my hateful junior brother, the only disciple of Saito Shudo." ”

As soon as this news came out, everyone here was still quite shaken, they knew that there was such a fierce man in Peach Blossom Zhai, and they really didn't know that he was Saito's disciple.

But that's not the point, it's about ..... Everyone had heard the teacher talk about his youth, and on a thunderstorm night, the teacher and Saito Shumichi lost 0-7 in their seven-game chess, and he was expelled that night.

It was supposed to be a humiliating and angry story, but the teacher spoke of it to them in a calm voice.

Only those who have made up their minds to take revenge on them can tell the black history of the past so blandly.

It's a pity that now both of them have entered a semi-retired state, and it is difficult to meet them on the field, so they can only rely on the next generation to solve this problem.

If you can't beat you, train students to beat your students, which is common in all fields.

That's how Kuroki got on the bar with Jiang Liu'er.

"Saito Kudan..... No, Saito counted him, it seems that the qualifications of students are very demanding, right? The students below thought about it, but still didn't use Saito's honorific title and called him by his first name.

"It's really harsh, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted apprentices now, and since his fame can reach my ears, it proves that he is indeed powerful." Seiichi Suga said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was such a person?" Yabu Ruiren frowned at Seiichi Suga.

Some students wanted to whisper to remind him that it was not good to speak to the teacher in this way, but after thinking about it, this senior brother was a grumpy master, and it can be said that if it wasn't for his talent being too good, the teacher might not accept him, after all, the teacher is also a very traditional person.

The teacher spoke calmly: "There are two reasons, one is that he became famous very late, and I didn't hear about his existence until a month ago, and the other is that I don't want you to challenge him directly before the competition under the impulse of war. ”

"Do you think if I challenge him, I might lose?" Yabu Ruiren said coldly.

"I have absolute confidence in you, but now we know that he exists, and he doesn't know about ours, so we can use the advantage of the shadows to collect his games, and he can't get our games, and if you play against him in advance, you will leave something for him to refer to, which is not conducive to the final victory." Seichi Suga explained it clearly.

"So all the games I've played in the last few years are his?" Yawu Ruiren recalled that recently, the teacher did ask him to play some nameless chess games, I thought it was a wonderful game for the students on weekdays, but now it seems that these chess games are all Zhiguang.

Of course, Ke Zhiguang's opponent is not Saito, and his game with Saito has not left any scores, these chess games are all played by him in Peach Blossom Zhai, and they are brushed into fights.

This is the advantage of the disciples who are recommended by the nine dan to participate in the fixed-stage competition, they can use the power of the teacher to call up the chess games in the academy students at will, understand the next opponent in advance, and can also use other means to revive the chess games that should not have been left in the courtyard.

Just install an inner ghost, it's not difficult.

Those who have the ability to blend into the Peach Blossom Zhai and watch the whole game of chess of others have the ability to review the game afterwards.

In ancient times, the internal chess scores were strictly kept secret from outsiders, in order not to be stolen from the teacher, and those who stole the chess scores and handed them to the outside family could be sent into the game and locked up.

Fortunately, there are not many nine dan who are qualified to recommend disciples to directly participate in the fixed stage competition, and there are not many students who can enjoy this permission, so the group of academy students in the civilian class endures it.

Those who are qualified to become disciples of the ninth rank are either really talented or have real money in their families, and Yawu Ruiren accounts for both of these points, so Suga Seiichi can talk to him calmly.

Yabu Ruiren wanted to refute something, saying that he was not afraid at all and was not worried about exposing the chess game, but he was speechless for a while, and finally nodded: "All in all, my task is to hit his sharpness hard in the fixed stage match." ”

"Yes, do whatever you can to provoke him before the game, make him angry, and finally push him further into the abyss with defeat." Speaking of this, Seiichi Suga's fingers twitched.

Back then, Saito did the same, as a junior disciple to Suga Seiichi rude and provocative, forcing him to bear it anymore and accept the challenge of the seven chess, and finally the moment he lost the whole person, the whole person collapsed, and it took several years to come back to his senses.

"Giving an opponent a painful defeat in an important match is enough to frustrate them for years, especially for young people who haven't experienced a lot of wind and waves, and it's not good to be in the head when they're in the middle of their momentum." Seiichi Suga looked at Seiichi Suga with the eyes of a mission.

Sei Suga nodded and accepted the mission.

The door was pushed open, and a waiter walked in, whispering something in Suga's ear.

When Seiichi Suga heard this, he said to Yabu Ruiren, "Mr. Mijo's people are waiting for you outside the door, so go and see him." ”
