Chapter 53 Persecution
"Is this the chess you played today?" Kuwamoto Inbo looked at the board, pondered for a while, and said slowly, "Yes, there is progress."
He pointed to a few white stones in the middle, "These moves are very interesting, but overall, they don't seem like the moves you would make."
"Well, my first teacher used to like to play like this. I still don't understand how she calculated the points. I can only compare the calabash to draw the scoop and occupy this place first."
Kuwahara Asama pointed to the lower right corner, "Morishita Kyudan is very strong, but after the middle game, he increased his offensiveness, and the chess pieces in the middle abdomen suddenly became thinner, which gave me an opportunity to take advantage of."
"I thought so too." Kuwamoto Inbo nodded, "With another three or four sets, you will be able to pass the round-robin match, right?"
"Well, I'm already the winner of the low-level competition. If I can maintain the top position in the high-level competition, I can enter the Honinbo eight-player round-robin competition according to the ranking."
Kuwamoto Inbo showed a gratified smile, "Very well, maybe you will be able to stand in front of me next spring."
"Grandpa was joking." Kuwamoto Inbo was a little embarrassed, "I haven't officially entered the round-robin competition, let alone become a title challenger. Besides, you played Ogata Kyudan hard this year. I guess he is saving his strength. Wait. Looking for revenge on you!"
"Hahahahaha!" Kuwahara Inbo laughed, and he was proud of the seven chess games at the beginning of the year, "That kid Ogata is still young! Want a title? Haha! Go dream!"
Kuwahara Asama looked at her grandfather speechlessly, he was even younger than Ogata Jiudan himself! !
"School is about to start?"
"Well, another week."
"Time flies by so fast!" Sangmoto Inbo said leisurely, "You have been taking the second place in the exam all these years, can you give the first place to grandpa?"
Kuwahara Asama smiled slightly, "Do you want me to get the first place this semester?"
"Of course! Taya Ryo doesn't plan to go to high school either!" Kuwamoto Inbo smiled, "The second year of junior high school is the only year you can relax a little bit. After the third junior high school, you probably won't have time to study."
Kuwahara Asama nodded slowly, "No problem, I was planning to take the first test as well."
"That's good." Kuwamoto Inbo looked at his eldest grandson with a smile, and wanted to say something, but swallowed the words again.
A 15-year-old kid, he can't force that much.
Under the moonlight, his voice was low and hoarse, as if the breeze had passed by without leaving a trace.
"Asama, you're still young."
Kuwahara Asama raised her head and looked at Kuwahara Inbo suspiciously.
"You don't need to push yourself so much, and you don't need to be anxious. You have an infinite future, and you can slow down appropriately and enrich yourself slowly."
Asama Kuwahara narrowed his eyes slightly, he gently put away the chess pieces without saying a word.
"Grandpa, I can live a long, long time, with me here."
"Thank you for your encouragement and support." Kuwahara Asama packed up the chess pieces and looked at Kuwahara Inbo seriously. "Since this is the case, I can't slow down my progress."
He blinked slyly, "Grandpa, just wait for me to pull you off the horse!"
Kuwamoto Inbo turned his face away, he was furious, "Honinbo belongs to the old man, you bastards, wait for the old man to take care of you!!"
Kuwahara Asama laughed, and quickly slipped away.
"This kid!"
At the beginning of the new semester, Kuwahara Asama began to listen to the class carefully and worked hard to do the exercises. Under the unbelievable eyes of his deskmate Keigo Atobe, he would go to the teacher with a thick sea of questions to solve his doubts.
"You are..."
"kindness?"
"Didn't you use tricks to take exams before?" Keigo Atobe was surprised, "Why..."
"I always need to be able to understand the topic." Asama Kuwahara gave the official statement, and then said, "Actually, I don't plan to go to high school anymore. The first one is more commemorative."
Atobe Keigo was stunned.
"You don't want to go to school anymore?!"
"Why should I go to school?" Asama Kuwahara looked at Keigo Atobe strangely, "The purpose of going to school is to get a good education and find a good job in the future. I have been working for almost a year, why do I still need a degree? ?”
Keigo Atobe was dumbfounded, he was a little emotional, "In the blink of an eye, next year will be the third year of junior high school, time flies so fast."
"It's been so fast. You haven't led Lihai to win the championship. It's really useless." Kuwahara Asama stabbed Keigo Atobe without hesitation, "Speaking of which, can you do it this year?"
Atobe Keigo stared at Kuwahara Asama desperately, "Of course it can be done!!"
Kuwahara Asama looked at Keigo Atobe suspiciously, "Well, if I don't have a game that day, I will go to see it. Of course, just don't let me see you standing on the runner-up podium again."
Keigo Atobe couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and smashed the thick sea of questions directly on Kuwahara Asama's forehead, "Shut up!!"
Kuwahara Asama faced the sea of questions and sighed, "I sent a letter to my hometown a few days ago, asking if they have any shorthand spells."
Atobe Keigo rolled his eyes, "And then?"
"Then my cousin said that you can give the textbook to Shikigami and let him look for the answer for you on the spot."
Atobe Keigo said angrily, "Aren't you always like this before?"
"I don't plan to let Shikigami follow me to the examination room this time." Asama Kuwahara shrugged, "Besides, my grandpa said to let me take the first place in the test. He specially added the accent on the word "test". Obviously, this time I'm going to get real."
"Your grandfather knows?"
"I don't know, maybe he guessed it, but he didn't say it clearly." Kuwahara Asama flipped through the sea of questions in his hand, "Anyway, I might have a harder time in the second half of the semester."
Keigo Atobe thought for a while, "I remember Go Weekly said that you are about to enter the title round round?"
"There are still a few games left!" Kuwahara Asama put down the question sea, a light flashed in his eyes, "Let's talk about it after I win."
Atobe Keigo looked at the reference books and the sea of questions in front of him, and then at the thick chess record in Kuwahara Asama's drawer, "Just don't lose because of learning."
"Well, I think so too." Asama Kuwahara counted with his fingers, "A round-robin game is about [-] yuan. Even if you lose a game, it's about [-] yuan. It's all money!"
Atobe Keigo couldn't believe it, "You guys get money even if you lose!?"
"Of course! This is an international practice!" Asama Kuwahara looked at Keigo Atobe with an expression on his face that you didn't know. Chess is worth 50 yuan, and it will be doubled if you win. If not, why does my grandfather have to play seven games? It's all money!!"
Atobe Keigo opened his mouth wide and said after a while, "This is really a bargain."
"So you must not lose." Kuwahara Asama encouraged himself, "Before entering the round-robin match, we must win!!"
Kuwahara Asama's time has become extremely pitiful.
He seems to have returned to his childhood, playing chess in his free time, studying hard during class time, and soon he lost a lot of weight.
He couldn't sleep all night. On the one hand, the environment in Tokyo was not good, and on the other hand, he was under too much pressure. If he wanted to achieve excellent results in both aspects, he pushed himself a little hard.
Natsume looked very bad when he came to see him.
"You're only 15 years old, don't push yourself so hard!!"
Kuwahara Asama's face became thinner and his chin was thinner. He smiled, his eyes were frighteningly bright, "A person will never know how powerful he is until he reaches a desperate situation."
"You should always rest well!!"
"OK."
Kuwahara Asama promised very well, and after Natsume left, he started to stay up late to read the chess records.
Natsume was very dissatisfied, and he came up with a trick.
He called Chang Jingji and told about Kuwahara Asama's situation.
Chang Jingji ran to Tokyo without saying a word, and asked Kuwahara Asama to meet Zhou Gong with a knife in one hand.
He glanced contemptuously at the stunned Natsume, "You still want to come to me for such a simple matter?"
Natsume was speechless, "I'm sorry, before I even make a move, Asama's shikigami will throw me out."
Zhang Jingsi sneered, his eyes flickered slightly, "I happen to have something, and I need your help."
Natsume didn't know why, "I still have to go to class."
"On the weekend."
"Okay, what about Asama?"
"...I will find someone."
Zhang Jingji reluctantly approached Nanye Shuuichi.
In other words, as far as he knew, among the big monsters living in Tokyo who had a good impression of humans, only Nanno Shuichi was easy to talk to.
"The troublemaker who came to Changmen 500 years ago is here again." Jingji Chang told Nanye Shuichi calmly, "Your friend helped me last time, so this time it will be troublesome."
Minano Hideichi was surprised, can any human beings live that long?
"The other party is a great onmyoji, maybe he has some special spells!" Chang Jingsi said in a low voice, "At any rate, Qian Jian has helped you, and even called you big brother, I think you should know about it. "
Minano Hideo shook his head, even if the leader of the Changyi Sect asked for help, he was arrogant, didn't he just want him to help take care of him!
He thought of his little friend Fei Ying, who also spoke insincerely, so he couldn't help laughing.
"I see."
Chang Jingji hung up the phone with satisfaction, and he left Tokyo with Natsume.
Kuwahara Asama didn't know that Maichi was about to face the enemy. Instead, he was directly overwhelmed by Nanno Shuichi with hypnotic pollen.
Kuwahara Matsuwa said cautiously, "There won't be any sequelae?"
Minamino Hideichi smiled, with an air of immortality for those who believe in me, "Don't worry, my herbal medicine by Minamino Hideichi is absolutely fine, it is well-known in the demon world, and number one in the human world!"
Although Kuwahara Matsukazu didn't know what the Demon World was, seeing Minano Shuichi's proud aura, he temporarily suppressed his worries and told Hideko to take good care of Asama.
Kuwabara Asama had a good night's sleep thanks to Nanano Shuichi's miraculous pollen.
In the mid-term exam two months after the start of school, Kuwahara Asama, with divine help, he really passed the grade
First back!
He couldn't be happier.
Immediately afterwards, in the second qualifier of the Throne Tournament on the second day, he lost to the former Throne Zama Kudan by only half an eye.
After the game, he hardly spoke during the replay. Zama Kudan sat opposite and chatted endlessly. From the opening to the attack to the middle game and then to the official, he talked for a full three hours.
Asama Kuwahara's hands in his sleeves were tightly tucked together, looking at Kudan Zama's smug face, he really wanted to punch him.
After the review was over, he went home immediately and fell headfirst on the bed.
He has a fever.
