Outside the Go club classroom, Chen Anxia had just walked out of the Go club and was about to leave.
At this time, Sakamoto Hui, who had been temporarily out of town due to something else, happened to return to the Go club.
Hui Sakamoto couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw Chen Anxia leaving just now.
In Sakamoto Hui's expectation, the match between Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke should have ended long ago, and Chen Anxia should have gone home long ago.
Soon, Sakamoto Hui suppressed his surprise.
In Sakamoto Hui's view, there are more important things to do now.
That is to comfort Chen Anxia.
Because he knew the character of Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, in Sakamoto Hui's view, Chen Anxia must have been hit by Shinsuke Ichiyanagi in the game just now, and it was a double blow of the chess game and words.
'The boy must be very lost now...'
Thinking of this, I saw a warm smile on Sakamoto Hui's face, and he took the initiative to say to Chen Anxia in a soft tone, "Classmate Anxia, are you going back?"
Consolation also requires methods. Some comforts cannot go directly to the topic. You need to first let the other person put down their guard, shorten the distance between them, and then slowly persuade them to be effective.
This is what Sakamoto Hui is doing now, trying to shorten the distance between each other with the most ordinary greetings, smiles and tone of voice.
However, a scene that deviated from Sakamoto Hui's expectation appeared again.
Chen Anxia nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'm going back."
Immediately, without waiting for Hui Sakamoto to respond, Chen Anxia showed a cheerful smile to Hui Sakamoto and said goodbye, "Goodbye, Teacher Sakamoto."
With that said, Chen Anxia left directly.
Because Chen Anxia's reaction went beyond Hui Sakamoto's expectations, Hui Sakamoto was stunned for a moment and could not react.
By the time Sakamoto Hui reacted, Chen Anxia's figure had disappeared from Sakamoto Hui's sight.
Shaking his head slightly, Sakamoto Hui felt strange but didn't think too much about it.
Anyway, as long as there is no problem with Chen Anxia's mentality, it will be fine.
Then, Sakamoto Hui returned to the Go club.
At this time, the Go club changed from the strict and solemn environment in the past to becoming like a noisy vegetable market, with discussions everywhere and even uproar from time to time.
This situation made the usually gentle Sakamoto Hui frown and feel like getting angry.
But before Sakamoto Kei could get angry, he heard comments that shocked and incredible him.
"What? Ichiliu lost? Lost to that person just now?"
"Really or not? With Ichiryu's chess skills, he would actually lose to his peers?"
"Who is that person? Is he a student from our school?"
"There are so many Go geniuses in the private Neptune Elementary School. There was Shinsuke Ichiyanagi in the past, Yuko Miki in the second, and now there is someone who can defeat Shinsuke Ichiyanagi. It's unimaginable!"
"Didn't Mr. Sakamoto say that Ichiyanagi's chess skills are close to those of a professional? So does the kid who can defeat Ichiyanagi already have professional chess skills?"
...
Sakamoto Hui couldn't listen to the subsequent discussion.
At this time, Sakamoto Hui had only one thought in his heart, and that was, 'Will Shinsuke lose? How is this possible? In that game of chess just now, wasn't Shinsuke almost certain to win? '
Thinking about it, Sakamoto Hui didn't care whether the environment of the Go club was chaotic or not, and walked a little hastily to the game between Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke.
Although Chen Anxia has left, Ichiyanagi Shinsuke is still in front of the chess game, staring at the chess game in a daze, with a look of disbelief, loss, and unwillingness on his face from time to time.
Seeing this, Hui Sakamoto couldn't help but look at the chess game in front of him.
In the final chess game, black and white chess pieces almost occupy the entire chess board. If someone who doesn't understand Go watches it, they probably won't be able to understand it at all.
But Hui Sakamoto can understand it, and can also imagine how grand and intense the game just was through the current situation.
Sakamoto Hui now feels very regretful, regretting that she left midway.
If I hadn't left, I wouldn't have missed this wonderful game.
At the same time, Sakamoto Hui began to count in his mind quickly.
The number is a method used to confirm how many goal areas each occupied by the black and white chess pieces after the game ends.
Basically, professional chess players can roughly estimate whether they are currently leading or lagging behind after the chess game reaches the middle game.
If they are behind, they can also estimate whether they can make a comeback.
If it is certain that a comeback cannot be achieved, some players will choose to surrender before the game reaches the end.
Soon, Hui Sakamoto knew the result of the market through the numbers.
On the board of this chess game, black's chess is seven eyes ahead of white's. According to the current eye-matching rules, black's chess must be five and a half eyes ahead of white's chess.
In other words, Black won this game with an advantage of one and a half eyes.
This result shocked Sakamoto Hui.
Sakamoto Hui could not figure out how Chen Anxia reversed the devastating start and finally won the game.
'Is there a killer move hidden in that bad start that I can't see? '
'Did Shinsuke Ichiyanagi make a mistake? '
'How on earth did he do it? '
...
Thoughts appeared in Hui Sakamoto's mind one after another, making Hui Sakamoto want to know more and more what was going on in this game.
This strong desire for knowledge made Sakamoto Hui couldn't help but look at Ichiyanagi Shinsuke.
Sakamoto Hui is well aware of Ichiyanagi Shinsuke's chess prowess and knows that Ichiyanagi Shinsuke is fully capable of replaying the chess game just now.
But Yanagi Shinsuke's current state made it impossible for Sakamoto Hui to speak, and he couldn't speak.
Suddenly, Hui Sakamoto seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Afterwards, Sakamoto Hui began to search in the Go classroom, trying to find Miki Yuko.
Sakamoto Hui remembered that Yuko Miki was also watching chess just now. With Yuko Miki's chess ability, it should not be difficult to review a game.
But Hui Sakamoto did not find Yuko Miki.
Soon, Sakamoto Kei learned from other club members that Miki Yuko had been taken home by her family.
This news made Sakamoto Hui deeply regretful, but she had no choice but to suppress the strong desire for knowledge in her heart and wait until tomorrow to find a chance to talk to Miki Yuko about this matter.
Immediately, Sakamoto Kei looked at Ichiyanagi Shinsuke, wanting to comfort him.
But before Sakamoto Kei could speak, Ichiyanagi Shinsuke silently packed up the chess board, picked up his schoolbag, with a bleak back, lowered his head and left the Go club without saying a word.
Sakamoto Kei knew Ichiyanagi Shinsuke's character, and since Ichiyanagi's home was near the school, there was no way to stop him.
However, Sakamoto Hui still called Ichiyanagi Shinsuke's home.
Soon, the phone was connected, and a low-pitched boy called, "This is Ichiliu..."
After hearing this familiar voice, Sakamoto Hui knew that the person answering the phone at this time was Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's father, who was also his teacher when he was a student.
At the same time, he is also the former holder of the title of Chess Saint, Ichiyanagi... Shintaro! !
