Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 5

As a doting father, Miki Soji had long wanted to teach that brat who made his daughter feel wronged and sad a lesson.

I just haven't been able to find the right opportunity.

Because Miki Soji knew his daughter's proud personality, he wouldn't bring it up unless she asked.

As for bullying the weak, sorry, in the heart of a doting father, there is no distinction between big and small. Anyone who dares to bully his daughter is an enemy.

Moreover, in Miki Soji's view, the characters in the game "Hikaru no Go" are just NPCs, a bunch of data, so there is no distinction between big and small, young and old.

After Miki Soji agreed, Miki Yuko accepted the timed mission without hesitation.

Then, a chessboard that only she could see appeared before Miki Yuko's eyes.

On the chessboard, Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke were playing a game.

Furthermore, as Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke continued to place their pieces, the number of pieces on the board also increased, completely synchronized with the game between Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke.

Yuko Miki knew that the chessboard that appeared before her was the tool for her mission.

What I need to do now is to use my mind to continue Chen Anxia's game and play against Ichiyanagi Shinsuke on this chessboard in front of me.

At the same time, Yuko Miki was also communicating with her father through telepathy, recounting the chess game in front of her to him.

In another world, Miki Soji replicated the game recounted by Miki Yuko on a solid wooden Go board in front of him.

At this moment, Miki Soji's face was solemn as he knelt on the chessboard, looking at the game before him, a hidden aura gradually accumulating within him.

Clearly, the holder of the other world's 'Kisei' title, Miki Soji, is taking this very seriously.

......

Chapter 7 The Opportunity to Turn Defeat into Victory: The Chess Saint's First Move!

Although the game had only just begun, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi could clearly see from Chen Anxia's chaotic layout that Chen Anxia was truly a novice, someone who hadn't even scratched the surface and was just playing randomly.

This fact made Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's already sour face even more sour, and even his unpleasant aura became more intense.

In Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's view, Chen Anxia was simply wasting his time and making fun of himself.

If it weren't for his self-awareness as a Go player, which compels Shinsuke Ichiyanagi to play each game well, he probably would have turned against everyone long ago.

In his heart, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi had already decided to launch the fiercest attack, leaving Chen Anxia with no living stones, and letting Chen Anxia truly experience the despair of a board full of white stones.

Ideally, Chen Anxia should completely lose interest in Go from now on.

This is the price Chen Anxia has to pay for indulging in his own pleasures.

Chen Anxia was unaware of Shinsuke Ichiyanagi's thoughts, but she could sense the change in him.

However, Chen Anxia will not be swayed by this.

After all, Chen Anxia is already an adult in terms of mental age, and it's impossible for her to be so easily frightened by Ichiyanagi Shinsuke, who is just a primary school student.

At the same time, Chen Anxia had been holding back a grudge.

This pent-up frustration made Chen Anxia concentrate fully on playing the game of chess well.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​who hasn't even mastered the basics, how can he play this game well? The key is just two words... intuition.

In Shirakawa Michio's Go classroom, the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind made Chen Anxia play a move he hadn't expected, and it made him an instant sensation.

Chen Anxia didn't understand what the sound was, and could only attribute it to a flash of inspiration or a sixth sense.

Chen Anxia now only hopes that he can have another flash of inspiration. He doesn't expect to defeat Ichiyanagi Shinsuke, but he hopes to amaze Ichiyanagi Shinsuke so that Ichiyanagi Shinsuke won't underestimate him.

More and more members of the Go club came to watch the game.

Many of them were novices and didn't understand the situation.

As for the older members, they were able to barely understand the situation.

Although the game is currently only in the opening stage and has not yet entered the middle game.

However, from the current layout, they can already see that Black has completely fallen into a disadvantageous position, and the upper right corner has even been invaded by White.

According to Chen Anxia's strategy, the top right corner is already in Ichiryu Shinsuke's hands.

At present, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, playing white, is fiercely attacking black's lower left corner, aiming to take this area into his own hands.

If Shinsuke Ichiyanagi really succeeds.

Then the four corner areas on the chessboard—upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right—will become White's territory.

Afterwards, these four corner plots of land would be mutually dependent and mutually offensive and defensive, giving Shinsuke Ichiyanagi a significant advantage in the battle for these four plots.

If the game really develops to this point, will Chen Anxia still have a chance?

The answer had already emerged in their minds.

At the same time, they couldn't understand Chen Anxia's moves at all.

Although Chen Anxia's black pieces were placed in all four corners, these placements were chaotic and haphazard, seemingly just random moves.

It's as if the enemy is already charging into your base camp, while your army is setting up camps everywhere outside your base camp, watching your base camp fall like a spectator.

Of course, they didn't understand because they didn't know that Chen Anxia was a complete novice.

If they knew, they probably wouldn't be so clueless.

Because Chen Anxia was acting recklessly.

They still believe that Chen Anxia dared to play chess with Ichiyanagi Shinsuke because his own chess skills were not weak.

Therefore, in their view, Chen Anxia's actions must have had a deeper meaning that they could not understand.

While that's what they thought, Yuko Miki didn't think so.

Yuko Miki is extremely anxious right now, not understanding why her father, Soji Miki, the holder of the 'Kisei' title, hasn't made a move yet.

If White manages to capture Black's lower left corner, will Black still have a chance of winning?

Confused, Yuko Miki couldn't help but ask her father, "Dad, why aren't you making a move yet? If this continues, Black will lose!"

At this moment, Miki Soji looked at the replicated chess game before him, as if he had discovered something. A deep look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he murmured, "Is this... a coincidence?"

Afterwards, upon hearing his daughter's question, Miki Soji replied, "It's not the right time yet."

"The task you take on is related to the reversal effect. In other words, the more disadvantaged Black is, the higher your task completion rate will be after you win."

Upon hearing her father's words, Yuko Miki was taken aback at first, then asked, "But if this continues, and all four corner pieces are occupied by White, will Black still have a chance to turn the tide?"

Upon hearing this, Miki Soji stared intently at the game before him, his expression grave. He said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the opportunity to turn the tide has already been laid by Black..."

Miki Soji's words shocked Miki Yuko, who looked incredulous as she stared at the chessboard before her, trying to find the opportunity her father had mentioned.

However, no matter how hard Miki Yuko searched, all she saw were messy black pieces, and she couldn't find the opportunity at all.

Yuko Miki knew that her father wouldn't speak without reason; if he said so, it must be true.

Therefore, this can only mean that one's chess skills are insufficient to discover this opportunity.

Not only himself, but also Shinsuke Ichiyanagi failed to recognize this opportunity that could allow Black to turn the tide and win.

Thinking about it, Miki Yuko couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia with surprise and doubt, muttering to herself, "Could this guy be a hidden master?"

Meanwhile, Sakamoto Kei, who was instructing other club members on Go, also noticed the growing number of club members watching Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke.

Furthermore, Sakamoto Kei also noticed the thoughtful expressions on the faces of some club members, which made him curious. He muttered to himself, "Could it be that that child is evenly matched with Ichiyanagi?"

As he spoke, an incredulous look flashed across Sakamoto Kei's face, and he walked over as well.

From the very beginning, Kei Sakamoto had never imagined this situation.

Because Sakamoto Kei knew Ichiyanagi Shinsuke's skill level and also foresaw the outcome of the game.

That's why Sakamoto Kei left after bringing Chen Anxia there.

Now, the situation seems completely different from what Sakamoto Kei had anticipated.

Just as Sakamoto Kei arrived at the chess game between Chen Anxia and Ichiyanagi Shinsuke, Ichiyanagi Shinsuke's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his right hand swiftly picked up a white piece.

Immediately, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi looked at Chen Anxia with an air of superiority and said coldly, "Just enjoy the white despair I have woven!"

Snapped!

As Shinsuke Ichiyanagi was speaking, a bolt of white lightning suddenly struck the chessboard, crashing heavily into people's hearts.

At the same moment, Yuko Miki heard her father's stern voice say, "Yuko, row 8, column 5, Daiki!"

At this moment, the 'Go Saint' Miki Sōshi made his move!

......

Chapter 8 The Seeds of Doubt, The Struggle Between Land and Power

Sakamoto Kei had now grasped the situation and couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia with pity.

Meanwhile, Sakamoto Kei murmured to himself, 'As expected, the ending was exactly as I predicted...'

'In the Japanese Go world, among his peers, the only one whose skill level can consistently surpass Ichiyanagi's is probably Touya Meijin's son...'

Thinking about it, Sakamoto Kei lost interest in the game in front of him and decided to continue tutoring other club members in Go.

On the other side, Yuko Miki finally saw her father make his move.

Without the slightest hesitation, Miki Yuko placed a piece on the chessboard, visible only to herself, using only her mind.

Location...bottom right corner, 8th row, 5th column, Dafei!

With a thought from Miki Yuko, black stones appeared in their corresponding positions on the Go board.

At the same time, Chen Anxia, ​​who had already picked up a chess piece and was about to make a move, suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

The voice was telling Chen Anxia a move that was completely different from what he had expected.

'coming! ’

Chen Anxia excitedly shouted in his heart, then slightly curled the corners of his mouth and moved the black piece in his hand to the position of the 8th row and 5th column.

Chen Anxia's movements in picking up and placing the pieces were still clumsy, unable to compare with Ichiyanagi Shinsuke's fluid and highly aggressive movements.

However, Chen Anxia's move was the key to Black's comeback.

Because of Chen Anxia's previous performance, Ichiryu Shinsuke didn't think much about Chen Anxia's move, assuming that Chen Anxia was just making random moves again.
