"The Demon Lord is also a college student, but he should be one grade higher than your daughter." After a pause, Jia Yueao said.
"It's rare to see professional chess players among college students!" Nibutani's father couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, it's indeed rare." Jia Yueao Dacheng nodded.
However, in the field of chess, there are actually quite a few young geniuses.
For example, Kong Ginko, who is still a junior high school student, is already a professional chess player, and the first female professional chess player in history.
There have been similar cases of junior high school students becoming professional chess players in history.
In the Go academy next door, there are even elementary school students who have successfully qualified as professional players.
However, there are still too few such people. The vast majority of chess players actually enter the professional world after they reach adulthood. There are even many chess players in their thirties or forties who are still competing in the third-level league.
For example, Yushan Kazuto was promoted to a professional in his first year of high school and immediately won the title of Dragon King, becoming a chess player directly reaching the eighth dan.
There was no one else except Kuzuryuu Yaichi, who was a year older than Hayama Kazuto.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see the difference between the two.
In particular, Kuzuryu Yaichi's condition has been up and down, and he often suffers losing streak. In the last ranking battle, he even accumulated a relegation point in Group C1.
Compared with chess players like Yushan Kazuto who have been winning streak all the way, the gap between the two is a bit obvious.
Now that Yushan Kazuto has been promoted to Group C1, he might even meet Kuzuryuu Yaichi once more.
Many people are also looking forward to this game. Although everyone knows that the probability of Kuzuryuu Yaichi winning the game is almost zero, there are still many chess fans looking forward to a miracle.
After all, Kuzuryu Yaichi was once defeated head-on by Hayama Kazuto with a score of 4-0, and was subsequently expelled from the school by Yokoo Nishiki.
However, he did not become depressed and decadent because of this. Instead, he calmed down. Over the past six months, he has been playing better and better, and he has become more and more stable.
If under such circumstances, Kuzuryu Yaichi could defeat Yuyama Kazuto, it would be a true Jedi comeback.
Most chess fans actually don’t know about the conflict between the Kiyotaki group and the Yokoo Nishikawa group. What they want to see is this kind of comeback performance.
Otherwise, why are those moves that determine fate called "the move of God"?
What most people like to talk about is this kind of outburst after being forced into a desperate situation.
Of course, victorious generals like Yushan Kazuto are also talked about with great relish.
It’s just that every time Yushan and Ren played chess, they always crushed their opponents and didn’t give their opponents any chance to fight back. Even when facing famous players, the opponents even made moves that could normally be considered “god’s moves”, but were still defeated by Yushan and Ren in a crushing manner.
But this makes the topic less interesting. After all, there is no suspense. The result is known before the game begins, so there is no sense of excitement.
"Let's go." Standing up, Nibutani's father spoke.
The others also stood up and walked out of the office.
Although he hadn't been here for more than a year, Nibutani's father was obviously still very familiar with the structure of the chess academy.
After walking through two aisles, we entered the hall.
As soon as you enter the hall, the overall lighting becomes brighter.
Compared to the quietness in the office, the hall was obviously a bit noisy.
Looking around, Nibutani's father looked at Jiayue Ao Dacheng: "Where is the Demon Lord?"
"Wait a moment, let me take a look first." Jia Yueao Dacheng also looked around.
Standing next to his father, Nibutani Morika also looked around the hall of the chess academy.
Although the entire hall is not grand, its decoration is still quite unique.
After looking around and noticing a figure, Nibutani Morika's gaze suddenly froze.
[Ha, Hayama-senpai? ]
Chapter 2291 Awkward Atmosphere
"Do you... know each other?" Looking at Yushan Kazuto and his daughter looking at each other in confusion, Nibutani's father couldn't help but ask.
Just as Yushan Kazuto was about to speak, Nibutani Morika spoke first: "Senior Yushan is the top second-year student in our school."
"Top of the grade?" Looking at Yushan Kazuto, Nibutani's father couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable.
When he first started learning shogi, he simply gave up his studies, but even so, he was never able to enter the realm of professional shogi.
Most of the other junior high school and high school chess players basically gave up their studies after becoming professional chess players.
However, not only did Hayama Kazuto not give up his studies, but he also made great progress in the field of shogi and even got the top score in the grade, which even surprised Nibutani's father.
"It's, it's okay." Yushan Heren said unhappily.
He didn't expect that he would meet Nibutani Morika at the chess academy.
What he could not have imagined was that in addition to Nibutani Morika, he could actually meet the other person's parents!
Of course, it was obvious that the Nibutani family was in astonishment as he was.
The other party most likely just came to the chess academy to watch chess and happened to meet me.
Thinking that the other party was probably not coming for him, Yushan Heren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, looking at the Nibutani family standing with Master and Apprentice Jiayueao, Yushan Kazuto still felt an inexplicable sense of pressure, as if he was being scrutinized.
"I originally wanted to introduce you to each other, but I didn't expect that you knew each other. So there is no need for me to be the middleman." On the other side, Jia Yueao Dacheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. Oh boy, it turns out you were the one who brought the Japanese here!
Well, everyone present is Japanese, so it seems there is no problem in calling them Japanese.
"Xiao Xia, are you familiar with this demon...Yushan classmate in school?" asked Nibutani's mother.
"I'm quite familiar with it, right?" Nibutani Morika said timidly.
She was feeling a little complicated now. She didn't expect that the Demon Lord Yushan Heren in the chess academy was really the Yushan Heren she knew.
When she first saw the name Hayama Kazuto, she thought of him, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Hayama Kazuto could not be good at both football and shogi, so she ruled out this possibility.
Later, she heard from Jia Yueao Daisei that Yushan Kazuto was a high school professional chess player and a sophomore in college. She felt a little emotional, wondering how come the two Yushan Kazuto were so similar!
Unexpectedly, the two Yushanheren are the same person!
Nibutani Morika really couldn't understand how Hayama Kazuto allocated his energy to make progress in both football and shogi.
Oh, no, it should be three areas! Yushan Kazuto's grades are also the best in the grade!
Although she had never seen Yushan Kazuto's transcript, she had heard from other cheerleaders that Yushan Kazuto basically got full marks in exams, far exceeding the second place in the grade.
When she heard this, Nibutani Morika felt that it was a bit exaggerated. She felt that since Yushan Kazuto put so much energy into football, his energy for studying would be reduced accordingly.
Although Yushan Kazuto still maintained the top position in the grade, Nibutani Morika felt that it must be difficult for him to maintain the position. Isn't it nonsense to have a perfect score?
But now that he knew that in addition to football and studying, Kazuto Hayama was also a master in the field of shogi, Nibutani Morika couldn't help but have some doubts. Perhaps Kazuto Hayama's score was really perfect?
Looking at Nibutani Morika's appearance, Nibutani's parents began to have some strange thoughts.
Their daughter, who had always been rude to boys, now showed some "shyness", which made them, as parents, pay some attention to her.
But in fact, Nibutani Morika was not shy, but was really embarrassed.
After all, it is always embarrassing when you recognize the wrong person. Whether you mistake a stranger for an acquaintance or mistake an acquaintance for someone else, it will be embarrassing.
The most important thing is that she had recognized Yushan Kazuto at first, but in the end she denied it because she suspected that Yushan Kazuto did not have the energy to take care of both parties.
Thinking of this, Nibutani Morika felt even more embarrassed.
On the other side, Yushan Kazuto also seemed a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to meet Nibutani Morika in the chess academy.
It would have been fine if it wasn't just meeting Nibutani Morika, but she had to bring her family with her.
Yushan Kazuto can only be thankful that Doma Mai did not come with him today, otherwise if Nibutani Morika saw him and Doma Mai together, who knows what rumors would spread!
"Well, that's what he's called, right? " Nibutani's father said.
The first half was spoken to Hayama Kazuto, and the second half was spoken to Kayotsu Okudaisei.
Jia Yueao Dacheng nodded, but Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly: "Just call me Yushan, Yushan Dragon King or something like that is weird."
Yushan Kazuto did not rashly call Nibutani's father "uncle" or something like that, as the two sides were not yet familiar enough to that extent.
"Well, okay, let's call him Yushan." said Nibutani's father.
"Did you bring Nibutani-san here to watch the game of chess?" There was a moment of silence before Yushan Kazuto took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Yes, yes." Nibutani's father nodded.
,road.
Originally, he had a lot of questions to ask Hayama Kazuto, but after learning that Hayama Kazuto knew his daughter, Nibutani's father didn't know where to start.
"Well...that." Seeing that his father was speechless, Nibutani Morika took the initiative to speak.
Hayama Kazuto blinked and shifted his gaze to Nibutani Morika, waiting for the other party to speak.
"Actually, my father also studied at the chess academy before. This time he came here to catch up with friends and also to get to know you." After taking a deep breath, Nibutani Morika spoke.
Although the atmosphere was awkward, she was not stage frightened.
Moreover, through the previous conversation between Nibutani's father and Kaeyoshi Okudaisei, Nibutani Morika had already guessed the purpose of his father's coming to the chess academy.
Upon hearing this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Nibutani's father and Jiayue Ou Daisei. No wonder the two of them were standing together.
It is estimated that when Nibutani's father was studying at the chess academy, he was also a close friend of Kaeyoshi Okuda.
"Um, um, Yushan Long... Yushan, to be honest, when I was studying at the chess academy, I also won the reward meeting, but when I looked at your chess records, I was always confused. So I was a little curious and wanted to meet you and communicate with you in person."
Chapter 2292 Things Have Changed and People Have Changed
After the two sides chatted, Yushan Kazuto discovered that Nibutani's father had a relatively deep understanding of shogi, but his concepts were a bit outdated. It was quite interesting to have a little exchange and feel the collision of the times.
"The hall is not a place to talk, why don't we go somewhere else?" Nibutani's father became more and more excited as the conversation went on, and couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Yushan Heren felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help but look at Charlotte and the other two not far away.
He was originally watching chess with the three of them. If he hadn't heard Jia Yueao Daicheng calling him from behind, Yushan and the others would not have turned around. However, he didn't expect to see the Nibutani family when he turned around.
Seeing the difficulty in Yushan Kazuto's heart, Gongyufan Wanzhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Ayano and the others, I will help take care of them."
"This, this is so embarrassing?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
"It doesn't matter. They are all my junior sisters anyway. As a senior sister, I still need to take care of them." Gong Yufan Wanzhi couldn't help but smile.
She didn't really want to eavesdrop on the conversation between Yushan Kazuto and the Nibutani family, so she decided to stay in the hall and watch the chess game with Charlotte and the others.
"Thank you very much, Wanzhi." Yushan Heren said with a wink.
Gong Yufan Wanzhi shook his head and walked towards Charlotte and the others.
After watching the other party walk to Charlotte and the other two, Yushan Heren turned his head and took a look at Kong Yinzi's game situation.
At present, Kong Yinzi has the advantage for the time being, but it is estimated that it will not be completely eliminated in a short time.
Yushan Kazuto then turned around and looked at the Nibutani family: "Why don't we go to the Byodoin Tea House across from the chess academy?"
Hearing this, Nibutani's father nodded and said, "I haven't been there for three years. It would be nice to go back and reminisce."
When he was young, Nibutani's father was a frequent visitor to the Byodoin teahouse.
However, the price of the Byodoin Teahouse was relatively high, and Nibutani's father, who was a member of the Reward Club at the time, could hardly afford the tea fee on his own, so he often took Kayoo Daisei and another good friend to the teahouse.
However, the only people who drank tea were Nibutani's father and Kayotani Daisei, while the other friend only drank boiled water.
Although he was dragged here to collect tea money, the other party never got angry, but now...
Thinking back to the old days when the three of them were together, Nibutani's father couldn't help but sigh.
"Wait a moment, I'll send a message to Ginko." Looking at Nibutani's father, Yushan Kazuto didn't quite understand why the other party suddenly sighed, but he still spoke.
On the other hand, Jia Yueao Dacheng also recalled things from his youth.
At that time, the three of them were very close, but there were still differences in their chess skills and talents.
The other chess player had the highest talent, so he became a professional chess player early. Nibutani's father and Kaeyoshi Daisei often took advantage of each other and went to the Byodoin Tea House. Although the three of them contributed money, in fact, the other party contributed the most.
The second most talented person is Nibutani's father. His calculation ability and quick thinking are still envied by Jia Yueao Dacheng until now.
However, now, the only one still left in the chess academy is Jia Yueao Dacheng, who has the lowest talent.
Jia Yueao is very clear about his own abilities. The reason why he has achieved his current success is mainly due to his seriousness and his diligent analysis of his opponents before each game.
