Doma Mai also laughed: "That's not necessarily true, Sanae. During the final exam, I wasn't as careless as I was during the midterm exam!"
During the midterm exam, due to carelessness, she misread a decimal point, resulting in Domama's score being one point lower than Toumori Sanae. However, this time Domama carefully checked the calculation to ensure that there was no calculation error.
"Humph... If you don't believe me, just wait and see tomorrow!"
Chapter 588: Breath of the King
Night, Japan Shogi Institute.
In the evening, the cold wind started to blow again.
Tokyo in winter is a bit like a rebellious girl, complex, changeable and unpredictable. Fortunately, people living in Tokyo have gradually adapted to Tokyo's character.
When he walked into the chess academy, Yushan Kazuto's eyes flickered a little. He didn't even see Hinazuru Ai.
[Did you lose time on the road? Or did you not come today? ]
Yushan Kazuto blinked, feeling a little uneasy.
The weather is turning colder and the wind is chilly, so it is possible that we will be delayed on the road.
But then I thought, Hinazuru Akina had lost her temper last week and asked Hinazuru Takashi to take Hinazuru Ai back early on Sunday morning.
In this case, it is normal that Hinazuru Ai was not allowed to go to Tokyo this week.
As he was thinking, Yushan and others had already walked into the preparation area. Kong Yinzi had already changed into Wu clothing and was sitting on a chair waiting.
Yushan Heren smiled and sat next to Kong Yinzi. Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and turned away.
"Yinzi, how did you do in the final exam?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Not bad, how about you?" Kong Yinzi asked back.
Although Kong Yinzi did not concentrate all her energy on studying after participating in the study session, she could still feel that her performance in this exam should have improved significantly.
"Me? I'm still the same."
It sounds a bit depressing, but in fact it is in Versailles.
Kong Yinzi glared at Yushan Heren. She knew very well that Yushan Heren's old attitude meant getting full marks in all subjects!
"By the way, I don't think I saw Xiao Ai today." Yushan Heren smiled shyly and suddenly changed the subject.
"Maybe he hasn't arrived yet? I didn't see the brat when I came in." Kong Yin Zi snorted and said.
"That's possible." Yushan Heren shrugged.
"It's better if the brat didn't come. Do you really want her to come?" Kong Yinzi turned her head and looked at Yushan Heren.
"That's not the case... I'm mainly worried that her mother might be angry and have put her under house arrest?" Yushan Heren said.
Yushan Kazuto's guess was correct. Hinazuru Ai was indeed under house arrest by Hinazuru Akina, and was currently responsible for some telephone reception work at Hinazuru Hotel.
However, she took the initiative to apply for this house arrest. This year's Dragon King Competition has come to an end, and it is too early to open next year.
Kazuto Yuyama has already secured the qualifying spot in Group 6, so the last game of this year will be a waste of time that is neither worth playing nor worth throwing away.
Last week, Hinazuru Ai provoked Hinazuru Akina. Although Hinazuru Akina didn't say much and just confiscated her phone, Hinazuru Ai still instinctively felt Hinazuru Akina's anger.
Hinazuru Ai thinks this is a very good deal, exchanging a useless event for the opportunity to travel freely to and from Tokyo next year.
However, because her cell phone was confiscated, Hinazuru Ai was unable to tell Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana that she had voluntarily been grounded, which caused Hayama Kazuto to worry.
"You were pretty nice to that brat." For some reason, although Kong Yinzi spoke without much emotion, Yushan Heren heard a sour feeling.
"Not really." Yushan Heren smiled.
"Why don't you want to accept her as your disciple?" Kong Yinzi suddenly asked.
Although Hinazuru Ai often goes against her, Hinazuru Ai's talent in shogi is indeed visible to the naked eye. She is a truly talented shogi player.
If there is anyone who can better inherit the chess skills of Kazuto Ueyama, Sora Ginko thinks Hinazuru Ai is an excellent candidate.
"I've told you before, I'm just a high school student, how can I have the time to accept disciples?" Yushan Heren blinked.
"As long as you acknowledge your identity and then make another copy of the software you sent to me, it will be fine." Kong Yinzi blinked and said a little unhappily.
In her opinion, Yushan's intention to shirk responsibility was very obvious, and it was obvious that this was not the reason why he did not want to accept a disciple.
Kazuto Yuyama let out a long sigh. He didn't even want to delve deeper into football, which he was interested in, and become a professional player. So how could he continue to pursue shogi, which he only treated as a pastime?
He is destined to leave, it's just a matter of time, maybe next year, maybe the year after?
Hayama Kazuto himself was not sure when he would leave the shogi world, but he knew that he would not be able to stay in this field for long.
If that's the case, why bother building bonds through shogi and adding to your troubles?
"According to what you said, Yinzi, wouldn't it be better for you to accept Xiao Ai as your apprentice?"
Yushan Kazuto said happily that the software he gave to Kong Yinzi did not have an anti-copying function.
Kong Yinzi glared at Yushan Heren, turned away and stopped talking.
She was a smart person and she could feel that Yushan and others were avoiding something, and because of that, she felt her heart aching.
Ye Mi told her to try not to have too many emotions, and the most important thing was not to get angry or sad, and it was best to keep a normal state of mind at all times and in all places.
Although the heart disease has been cured, Kong Yinzi's heart is still very fragile. Even Ye Mi cannot make up for this. He can only wait for the development of technology to see if there is any way to repair myocardial cells.
Sensing the change in Kong Yinzi's mood, Yushan Heren also felt a little uncomfortable. After a few minutes of silence, Yushan Heren said, "Yinzi, we should go out now."
Empty Silver
She nodded, and her mood finally calmed down, but was disturbed again by Yushan Heren's words.
The two men stood up, walked slowly into the venue, and under the gaze of everyone, sat down at their respective chess seats.
There are many professional chess players here, but there are not many as young as Yushan Kazuto and Sora Ginko.
Sora Ginko is a rare junior high school student who is a professional chess player, and she is also the first female professional chess player in history.
Kazuto Yushan is a terrifying dark horse. He has never been defeated since his debut!
Before Hayama Kazuto officially participated in the shogi competition, he lost a few games, but since he started participating, he has never lost again.
The two are so young and so strong, and more importantly, their appearance is also the ceiling in the shogi world.
One is unrestrained and uninhibited, the other is aloof and unworldly, and they can be regarded as stars in the shogi world.
Especially Hayama Kazuto, he has even broken through the circle and has many crazy female fans outside the shogi circle.
Kazuto Hayama often yawns during shogi games. People in the shogi community generally believe that this is a sign of disrespect for the opposing player, but in the fan circle, some people call Kazuto Hayama's yawn "the king's breath"!
They even gave different names to the different postures of "King's Breathing".
These names were even used as memes by the official authorities.
Fortunately, Yushan Kazuto doesn’t pay much attention to social media platforms, otherwise he would probably be so angry that he would retire on the spot!
Chapter 589: Hinazuru Ai's Invitation
"It appears. King's Breathing Form 1: King's Contempt!"
On the screen, Yushan Kazuto was tilting his head, squinting his eyes, yawning, and looking at each other with a lazy look.
This game was so boring, and the opponent was a murderer who would not make a move until the last second. Yushan Heren suspected that the opponent might be the legendary rope-burning dog.
As soon as the opponent made a move, Yushan Heren followed suit, and there was not even a second between the two moves.
Seeing the other person fall into deep thought again, Yushan Heren leaned back weakly, looked at the ceiling, and yawned again.
"Oh my god, it's the rare fifth form of the King's Breathing: Heavenly King's Breathing!"
"What, what? I just went to the bathroom and missed the King's Breathing Form 5!"
"It doesn't matter, I have already cut it out in time and used it as a screen saver!"
"Damn it, even though it lacks the sense of ceremony of a live broadcast, please let me see it quickly!"
"Close your eyes first!"
"Dang-dang-dang!"
On the screen, the video of Yushan Kazuto yawning with his head tilted back was played repeatedly. The girl even matched the dubbing for the yawning sound. It can be seen that her hand speed is really fast.
"As expected of Ikeuchi Yui, who has been single for 25 years, her hand speed is really fast!"
"Shuikouyuan, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't show it to you!"
"No, no, no, Miss Wei, the beautiful and lovely girl who treats men as nothing, please have mercy on Xiaoyuan who has diarrhea!" Shuikouyuan immediately gave in.
"Actually...if Kazuto-kun appeared in front of me, I still wouldn't be able to turn a blind eye."
"Kazuto-kun, that's not a man, that's a god!"
The two girls in front of the screen smiled foolishly, their saliva almost overflowing. If Yushan Kazuto saw them like this, he would definitely stay away from them.
After watching Yushan Kazuto yawn dozens of times, the two suddenly woke up.
"We seem to have forgotten something?"
"The game between Kazuto-kun is still going on!"
The two quickly switched back to the Niconico live broadcast, but the screen was flooded with barrages of comments.
"The Tenth Form of the King's Breathing: The Divine King's Sigh!"
"The Tenth Form of the King's Breathing: The Divine King's Sigh!"
"The Tenth Form of the King's Breathing: The Divine King's Sigh!"
……
Lines of identical text appeared in front of the two girls, making them dizzy and they quickly closed the barrage.
But on the screen, Yushan Heren had already stood up. With that move just now, he had already killed his opponent. Although the opponent was tenacious, he was not tough and could only resign and admit defeat.
"The God King's long sigh, it is the God King's long sigh that has only appeared once so far!" Ikeuchi Wei exclaimed.
"The God-King's Sigh? Where is it? Where is my God-King's Sigh?"
"The rarest sigh of a God King, I didn't even see it! Shuikouyuan, you have to compensate me!"
"If you can turn back time and let me watch the live broadcast of the God King sighing, I will give you my life as compensation!"
The emoticon package about Kazuto Yuyama's "King's Breathing" was quickly uploaded to Twitter and widely forwarded. Even the official Dragon King Tournament forwarded this tweet, but Kazuto Yuyama himself did not notice it.
There was no Twitter on his phone, and he usually never paid attention to gossip. Avoiding the cameras of reporters, Yushan Kazuto entered the lounge.
Before going in, Yushan Heren looked back, but there was still no sign of Hinazuru Ai. Maybe she hadn't arrived yet!
……
On the way home, Shirasaki looked a little depressed.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask: "Xiaohua, what's wrong? You look unhappy."
"I didn't see Xiao Ai today. I sent her a message but she didn't reply." Baisaki Hua blinked and said.
"No reply to the message?" Yushan Kazuto suddenly became nervous. Could something have happened on the way to Tokyo?
"Well, I couldn't find Xiaohua, so I asked her if she didn't come to Tokyo, but the message is still unread."
The more he thought about it, the more nervous Yushan Kazuto felt. If something happened to Hinazuru Ai on her way to Tokyo, he would be guilty of a great crime.
Hinazuru Ai was under house arrest, so she naturally couldn't come to Tokyo. Her cell phone was also confiscated, so it was normal that she couldn't reply.
Moreover, Hinazuru Ai couldn't remember the phone numbers of Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana, and couldn't call them to tell them about her current situation.
However, since Yushan Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana did not know these reasons, it was inevitable that they were worried.
"When we get home, I'll call Hinazuru Hotel to ask." said Yushan Kazuto.
Hinazuru Ai said that her family opened a hot spring hotel near Wakura Onsen called Hinazuru Ryokan. Hayama Kazuto thought that the people in the hotel should know something.
"Okay." Shirosaki Hana nodded, still feeling a little worried.
……
When I got home, I looked at the several numbers of the Hinazuru Hotel that appeared in my search and felt a little hesitant, not knowing which one to call.
"Forget it, just dial them in order." Yushan Heren blinked. He planned to call whichever number was connected.
"Moses, this is the Hinazuru Hotel. Do you need to book a room? All the rooms for this weekend are booked!" A pleasant voice came from the phone. Although it was a little distorted, Yushan Kazuto could still tell that it was the voice of Hinazuru Ai.
