Island Chess Academy, in the office.
Shindo Hikaru stood with his head bowed, looking like he had done something wrong.
In front of Shindo Hikaru, the staff was discussing something with Ogata Seiji.
Fujiwara Sawei on the side looked at Shinto Hikaru helplessly, not expecting that Shindo Hikaru would make this mistake.
However, Fujiwara Sawei did not blame Shindo Hikari for this, and only hoped that Shindo Hikaru could learn a lesson.
After all, Shindo Hikaru is just an immature child, and he will inevitably make mistakes of one kind or another.
As for the mistake Shindo Hikaru made, that is, in the fourth round of the competition, because Shindo Hikaru could not see Chen Anxia's chess game, he went to watch other people's chess games.
While watching the chess game, perhaps because he was too selfless, and the life-or-death chess game that Fujiwara Sawei once taught appeared in the chess game, Shindo Hikaru couldn't help but give some guidance.
You know, when watching chess, spectators should not make any noise, let alone during a game.
There is no doubt that Shindo Hikaru's behavior has disrupted the order of the game, which led to Shindo Hikaru being taken back to the office by the staff and being severely reprimanded.
Therefore, Ogata Seiji returned to the office and began to discuss with the staff how to deal with this game accident.
During this process, Shindo Hikari stood silently on the sidelines, waiting for the outcome of the discussion to come out.
The wait was long. I don’t know how long it was. Ogata Seiji seemed to finally think of Shindo Hikaru. He couldn’t help but look at Shindo Hikari with indifferent eyes and said, "Forget it this time, but I don’t want to have another time. You go back first." Bar."
As he said that, Ogata Seiji seemed to have remembered something, and said again, "By the way, I suggest that you study the rules and etiquette of Go after you go back, otherwise you will not be able to go far in Go."
Shindo Hikaru nodded vigorously when he heard this, and after apologizing again, he left the office.
After that, Shindo Hikari walked out listlessly.
Seeing this, Fujiwara Sawei couldn't help but expressed his condolences and mentioned Chen Anxia's competition.
With the comfort of Fujiwara Sawei, Shindo Hikaru slowly regained his energy, and at the same time wanted to watch Chen Anxia's fifth round match.
Soon, Shindo Hikaru and Fujiwara Sawei arrived outside the arena.
At this moment, Chen Anxia won the game and began to walk outside the arena.
Later, Chen Anxia and Shindo Hikari met.
After seeing Shindo Hikaru, Chen Anxia couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her face, and asked, "Shindo, why are you here?"
"Did you say you were also here to participate in the competition?"
Upon hearing this, Shindo Hikari smiled awkwardly, shook his head in a somewhat exaggerated manner and replied, "No, I just heard that there is a competition here, so I came over to take a look."
However, although Shindo Hikaru's acting skills were a bit exaggerated, Chen Anxia still believed Shindo Hikaru's words.
Because Chen Anxia knew that if Shin Fujiko participated in the competition, then with Fujiwara Sawei's plug-in, winning the championship would be as simple as picking something out of a bag.
So there is no need for Shindo Hikaru to lie.
After all, the final champion belongs to Shindo Hikaru. If Shindo Hikaru lies, won't he be slapped in the face when he wins the championship later?
Of course, Shindo Hikaru can also choose to abandon the game midway.
But Chen Anxia knew that the man who had carved Go into his soul would not do this.
As for Shindo Hikaru participating in the competition, Chen Anxia never thought about it at all.
Judging from the plot that Chen Anxia vaguely remembers, Hikaru Shindo probably hasn't really fallen in love with Go yet, so naturally he won't take the initiative to participate in Go competitions.
But Chen Anxia didn't know that due to his own influence, his destiny had begun to deviate from the established trajectory, and Shindo Hikari fell in love with Go earlier than in the original work.
Chen Anxia didn't think much, looked at Shindo Hikaru and said, "Today's game is over, do you want to go back together?"
Shindo Hikaru naturally agreed to Chen Anxia's invitation.
Originally, Shinto Hikaru was a little worried that Chen Anxia would remember that she left him and left with Akira Fujisaki during the school festival.
But soon Shindo Hikaru discovered that Chen Anxia didn't seem to remember this matter at all, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Shindo Hikaru seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, An Xia, do you know where I can play against a Go master?"
Chen Anxia didn't think much after hearing this, thinking that Shindo Hikaru was asking for Fujiwara Sawei. After thinking for a while, he replied, "In terms of your chess ability, ordinary Go clubs and competitions will definitely not be able to satisfy you."
“The best choice is undoubtedly a competition of this level, the Seven Titles Challenge.”
"However, for a competition of this level, you need to be a professional chess player before you can sign up."
After hearing Chen Anxia's first words, Shindo Hikaru couldn't help but complained in his heart, "No, no, no, you are flattering me. Ordinary Go clubs and competitions are completely satisfying for me, but they are really not satisfying." It’s this guy Zuo Wei..."
As for Chen Anxia's next words, Shindo Hikaru's face fell even more.
The current Shindo Hikaru will naturally know what Chen Anxia said about the Seven Titles Challenge.
At the same time, I also know that with my current situation, it is simply impossible to participate in a competition of this level.
Not to mention the Seven Major Title Challenge, even a slightly higher-level amateur competition requires amateur qualification before you can sign up to participate.
Fujiwara Sato learned this knowledge from following Fujimitsu, so he naturally understood the situation, and his originally expectant look dimmed.
At this moment, Chen Anxia said again, "Online Go may satisfy you."
After hearing Chen Anxia's words, Shindo Hikari and Fujiwara Sawei couldn't help but were stunned, and asked with some confusion, "Online Go?"
Seeing this, Chen Anxia first explained what online Go was, and then said, "There should be professional players in online Go, but I don't know if you can match them."
When Shindo Hikaru heard this, he couldn't help but murmured thoughtfully, "Online Go?"
Behind him, Fujiwara Sawei, who could only be seen by Shindo Hikari, was also muttering to himself, "Online Go brings players from all over the world together..."
"I really want to see it..."
As he spoke, Fujiwara Sawei's face couldn't help but reveal a look of desire and yearning, and the fighting spirit in his body was already ready to stir up.
In fact, Fujiwara Sawei has begun to fantasize about playing against chess players from all over the world.
Seeing this, Chen Anxia already knew Shindo Hikaru's choice.
At the same time, Chen Anxia also began to look forward to the appearance of...sai, who is considered by many chess players to be the god of Go in the original work.
