NABC Chapter 65 Falling Down
Chapter 65 Falling Down
Kuwahara Asama and Taya Ryo became professional chess players last year. This year, they achieved a great record. Taya Ryo won the award for the most winning percentage and the most consecutive victories. The Chess Academy got tangled up and awarded the new best chess player award to Kuwahara Asama.
The two took turns on the stage to receive certificates and were promoted to the third dan at the same time.
After the awards ceremony for low-level chess players, there will be awards for high-level chess players, followed by the declaration of qualifications for various title matches.
Kuwahara Asama and Taya Ryo received a large stack of game schedules, not to mention the seven major tournaments, as well as last year's Rookie King War game list and invitations to the NHK All Japan Professional Go Players Tournament.
Coupled with the daily Oshouhe Go activities and the weekly guided chess, Kuwahara Asama sighed, the new year is getting busier and busier.
Ta Yaliang looked at Kuwahara Asama sighing, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, just thinking that this year's game schedule is so tight, I feel crazy." Asama Kuwahara flicked the game table in his hand. The most deceitful thing is that some games still need to do Shinkansen all over Japan Running, not all games are held in Tokyo, "I suddenly realized that we have not yet entered the international stage."
Otherwise, flying around Asia twice in three days... His body must not be able to bear it.
Ta Yaliang sneered, "Others are eager for more games, but you are so happy that you think there are more?" After a pause, he glanced at the place where the new chess players were seated from the corner of his eyes, raised his chin slightly, and said arrogantly, "Some people want to play chess and haven't had a chance!!"
Kuwahara Asama laughed, "I'm really convinced. If you want to play chess with him so much, why do you show such an expression? Be careful that he hates you."
"I wish for it!!" Ta Yaliang snorted coldly, "I haven't recognized him yet!"
Kuwahara Asama looked at Taya Ryo who was gearing up, shook his head, and turned to look for Kuwahara Inbo.
After the award ceremony, Kuwahara Asama received a courier shortly after returning home.
He was a little surprised, who would send him a courier?
After signing the bill, he looked at the consignor written on it, it was Minano Shuichi?
The name of the shipped item stated that it was a souvenir from a certain shrine, but when Asama Kuwahara opened the package and took out this chain made of 81 small skulls, he always felt something was wrong.
There are 81 small skulls with a bright green luster, and each one is lifelike. The most amazing thing is that each skull has a different expression! !It was as if these skeletons were alive, and Kuwahara Asama could clearly see a strong white light lingering on the chains of the skeletons. This kind of precious light would not be so bright without the nurturing of spiritual power for hundreds of years.
He was puzzled.
——Do the general shrines sell this magic weapon that has been stored for hundreds of years?
That divine lord is funny! ?
There was a letter under the skeleton bracelet. He opened it and was stunned.
It turns out that although this thing was sent by Nanno Shuichi, Urameshi Yusuke actually found it. The letter said that his wife gave him a lovely daughter during the New Year, and he was very grateful to Kuwahara Asama.
Yusuke Urameshi is a big S-rank monster. It is very difficult for him and his wife Keiko to have children. This time Keiko got pregnant unexpectedly. It's a good thing, but the cub will absorb a lot of nutrients from the mother during pregnancy, and Yingzi is likely to die because of this child! !
If Kuwahara Asama, a fake local tyrant, had not found high-quality nurses and doctors through Atobe Keigo, and arranged them in the special care ward of Tokyo General Hospital, coupled with Minano Hideichi's careful escort, his wife might have had a dystocia .
That's why Minano Shuichi didn't actually go on a New Year trip, but helped his little friend Urahan Yusuke to have a baby.
Fei Ying and Ju were very happy in the human world. By chance, they met a half-demon dog clan, and then contacted Huang Quan, who was traveling with his son, and went to the legendary Warring States Period 500 years ago. Playing around, this string of skeleton bracelets is the gadget that Hiei gave Urahan Yusuke when he came back to report his safety.
Thinking of Kuwahara Asama's weak physique, Urahan Yusuke mailed this string of souvenirs to Kuwahara's house without saying a word.
Of course, he didn't know the address of Kuwahara's house, so he gave it to Shuichi Minano, so Shuichi Nanno simply used the New Year's letter as an excuse to deliver a package.
After reading the origin of this string of skeleton chains, the corners of Kuwahara Asama's mouth twitched wildly.
Does he dare to wear this thing?
If any eminent monk saw it, he would slap him to death!
——To carve monk and Buddha relics and finger bones into skeletons, mages of the Warring States Period, how dare you! !
Carefully wrapped the long chain around the wrist and covered it with a large yukata sleeve robe, Kuwahara Asama suddenly felt a shock all over her body, as if her cell phone, which had been out of battery, was suddenly filled to 50.00%. Charming!
In the evening, he was full of energy and went to give Nase Asuki a Go instruction lesson.
In the professional exam last year, Naase lost a lot of games, almost one-third of all chess games. Even so, this girl stayed in the academy and did not quit like another student Kishimoto.
"Although I will be in my third year of high school soon, I still want to play chess." Naase sat across from Asama Kuwahara, showing a shy smile, and said softly, "I think I can play chess well, and I also like the feeling of winning chess , so I still want to give it a try and see where I can go..."
Kuwahara Asahi smiled and said, "In this case, let's work hard together!"
After a pause, he said, "There are still four months before the professional chess player exam this year. I remember that you are the top eight in the college student group, right? Then you don't need to participate in the qualifiers. The real competition will start in September." ,Yeah?"
Nase nodded, "Yes, although I take the top eight of the three-month unified ranking, I am sure to enter the top eight."
"That is to say, we still have six months, half a year." Kuwahara Asama said seriously, "Then let's play chess today. I'll check your level first, and then I'll go back and make a plan."
"Let's work hard together to see you in the world of Go next spring."
Nase's eyes lit up, she was very excited, "Yes, I will work hard."
Nase Asuki's chess has improved a lot compared to last year, and she has made great progress in the part of the official game that she is not very good at. Of course, this is not enough. Kuwahara Asama played three games with Nase. made a rough plan.
"Nase, you're a girl."
Nase Asuki looked at Kuwahara Asama puzzled, "Ms. Kuwahara?"
"So you are inherently weaker than men in terms of character, especially when you are at a disadvantage, your thinking response and decisiveness are greatly lacking. Go is not a smooth game. In many cases, you need to survive in adversity and come back to win."
Kuwahara Asama took out Shinto Mitsushin's first-stage game. Although the game record is too outrageous, it can best illustrate this problem.
"This is Ah Guang's game record in the first stage of the game. You must have read it."
"Yes."
"Then you should also understand why this game of chess is called the score of God's turning point."
Nase Asuki seemed to understand Kuwahara Asama's meaning, "You mean, my ability to fight back is too poor?"
"It should be a matter of habit and personality." Asama Kuwahara shrugged, "In adversity, the aura of struggling to survive even if you fail and the sanity you keep while chasing are very important in the game. "
"Starting from the next class, I will give you homework. The so-called homework is that I set up the Zhenlong chess game. How about half an hour for you to break the game?" Kuwahara Asama pondered, "I allowed you to fail the first five times. , but every time you fail, you will cancel a class, but you still need to continue to pay, how?"
Nase was stunned.
"It's a bit of punishment and motivation." Kuwahara Asama smiled, "What? Are you confident?"
"...Yes!" Naze clenched his fist, his eyes suddenly burst into bright light, "Of course there is! But if I crack it, please add another guidance, for free!!"
"Hahaha! Of course no problem!"
After arranging the matters of guiding chess, Kuwahara Asama began to seriously prepare for the Honinbo Round Robin.
There are eight players in this year's Honinbo Round Robin, and the first match is still between him and Atsushi Kurata.
Yes, after Kurata Atsushi lost to him in the third round of qualifiers, he fought fiercely and came in from the defeat group of the high-ranking competition.
Before the start of the game, Atsushi Kurata was gearing up and said that this time he must give Kuwahara Asama a good look.
Kuwahara Asama sneered on the surface, but he took it very seriously in his heart. Atsushi Kurata is considered a young chess player. The gap between the two and other high-level chess players must be considered small. Chess master, Serizawa nine-dan and other high-level chess players.
Although Kuwahara Asama came to the competition with the heart of winning, he knew himself. It would be good if he could guarantee himself the top four in this round-robin competition. As for becoming a Honinbo challenger?
...Hehe, let's talk again.
But soon he was attracted by one thing.
Taya Yukihiro suddenly fainted in the third round of the ten-dan match! !
Suddenly the whole Go world was shaken, as if they didn't know what to do.
Kuwahara Inbo immediately took Kuwahara Asama to the hospital to visit Toya Yukihiro.
When they went, Taya Yukiyo hadn't woken up yet, and they were received by Mrs. Taya, Ogata Seiji, and Taya Ryo.
After Kuwamoto Inbo said a few words on the scene, Mrs. Taya got up and left to take care of Master Taya, leaving Ogata Seiji to talk to Kuwamoto Inbo.
Kuwahara Asama looked at the ward and found that although Toya Yukihiro was still in a coma, the vitality in his body was slowly increasing, and he should wake up soon.
He comforted Ryo Taya, "Don't worry, Master Taya will definitely be fine."
Ta Yaliang was exhausted all over, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Thank you, I will lend you a good word."
That day when his father suddenly collapsed, Ta Yaliang was in a daze.
He used to have the idea of escaping from his father's protection, but now, he suddenly realized that when his father's giant rock suddenly collapsed, he couldn't support the family at all.
"I just hate myself so much." With his back to Kuwahara Asama, he slammed his fist on the wall, "The self who can only watch him fall down blankly, but can't do anything himself!"
Kuwahara Asama suddenly remembered how she felt after learning of her cousin's accident a few months ago.
Annoyance, frustration, resignation, humbleness, expectation, struggle... All kinds of feelings came to my heart, and the shame and indignation after realizing my powerlessness and weakness filled my whole body. I wanted to do something, I wanted to prove something, I wanted to try What……
This kind of tossing and turning, painful and tangled sorrow is called growth.
Kuwahara Asama smiled slightly.
"Who said you didn't do anything?"
Taya Ryo's back trembled.
"You called an ambulance anyway."
"=Dish= Kuwahara Asama!!!"
