Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

The fifteenth row, the third column, is a point!

With this move, not only did the onlookers exchange bewildered glances, but even Akira Touya, at the center of the game, couldn't help but frown:

Could it be that Su Ran... really doesn't know how to play chess at all?

If the first two moves, so haphazard and disorganized, could be excused by underestimating the opponent and overextending, then the third move, still failing to occupy the star point, is essentially handing over all advantageous terrain to the opponent. This...

No matter how you look at it, it seems like the moves only a complete novice to Go could make...

Despite everyone's surprise, Su Ran herself remained completely unconcerned.

This was the optimal move he selected after dozens of calculations in the simulation environment.

This round.

He not only wants to defeat Akira Touya, but also to challenge Sai, who is hidden inside Hikaru Shindo's body!

In fact.

He had already defeated Akira Touya in the third simulation environment.

but.

In order to pique Sai's interest, he simulated the move dozens more times before finally deciding to use the current move.

He asks for nothing more than to live an upright and honorable life in the real world...

Defeat Sai!!!

……

After pondering for a long time, Akira Touya really couldn't figure out Su Ran's motives, so he could only follow his original thinking and occupy another star position in the upper left corner.

Fourth row, fourth column, star.

There are four star points in total, and White occupies three of them in the opening!

If the two sides are evenly matched, and one side has such a huge advantage, it's practically a death sentence for the other side.

But at this moment, Su Ran's face remained calm as still water, and he steadily placed a piece in the lower right corner:

Sixteenth row, sixteenth column, star.

The last star position was finally not given to Akira Touya.

Even so, the situation is still far from favorable for Su Ran. If he wants to turn the tide, it seems that the only hope is that Touya Akira will make a major mistake.

However, Akira Touya clearly wouldn't give Black that chance!

Seventeenth row, fourth column, climb!

After securing all the advantageous terrain, White is finally poised to eliminate Su Ran's Black pieces in the lower left corner...

Chapter Thirteen: The Battle for Eyes? Akira Touya's Memories!

Akira Touya, is this your offensive strategy?...

come on!

I've been waiting for this moment for a long time—the moment you draw your sword!

Looking at the white piece that had invaded his territory, Su Ran smiled slightly.

With a "thud," another black piece was placed on the chessboard.

This time, he did not continue to entangle with Akira Touya in the lower left corner.

Instead, they took a different approach and chose to attack the star point in the upper right corner, which was already occupied by White!

Row 16, Column 3!

"top?"

"Another one-handed counterattack?"

Looking at his opponent's bizarre and unpredictable move, Akira Touya fell into deep thought for the first time since he started playing against Su Ran.

The first three moves didn't occupy any star positions at all, it seems they never intended to compete with me for advantageous terrain from the beginning.

but……

He deployed a large force in the unimportant lower left corner.

It seems they want to settle things with me here.

But why did he back down and hide in the upper right corner after I launched an attack on the lower left corner?

A person who was arrogant in chess suddenly changed his style and became cautious.

What exactly is being plotted behind such a stark contrast?

I glanced at the bottom left corner, then at the bottom right corner.

For a moment, Akira Touya hesitated, wondering whether to continue eliminating the bottom lane or remove the nail that Su Ran had embedded in the upper right corner.

Time ticked by, and finally, as Akira Touya raised his right hand, he made his choice.

Fourth row, seventeenth column, climb!

As Akira Touya made his move, Sai, who was watching the game, suddenly frowned and sighed softly:

"Hikaru, have you noticed? Akira Touya's rhythm seems a bit off."

Upon hearing this, Hikaru Shindo looked at it seriously for a long time before saying:

"It seems a bit messy; the starlight here isn't very bright."

He paused, then scratched his head and said:

"However, Sai, if you were playing this move, what would you do?"

Which way should I go?

Sai paused for a moment, then pointed to a spot in the lower right corner of the board, giving his answer.

Sixteenth row, seventeenth column...

At the only star point occupied by Black, should Black play a counter-move?

Looking at the empty space where Sai pointed, overflowing with intense starlight, Hikaru Shindo was stunned.

Why can Sai point to the brightest part of the star with a casual gesture?

Sai is like that, and so is Su Ran.

Every move they made was placed in the most brilliant spot of the starlight, while Akira Touya missed the starlight several times...

Just as Hikaru Shindo was deep in thought, Su Ran made another move.

As expected, this time, in Hikaru Shindo's eyes, he once again pressed down on the spot where the starlight shone brightest!

The fourth row, third column, is still... top!

"He's placed three times above Xiao Liang's star position in a row? Has this young man from China gone mad?"

"Yes, the way he plays not only makes his moves scattered, but also slows down the pace of the entire game."

"Is he doing this to drag Xiao Liang into the dispute?"

"A point-scoring game? That's possible... but a point-scoring game is clearly disadvantageous for Black. With such a scattered board, it's easy for Xiaoliang to break through one by one."

Is this... trying to compete with me?

Like everyone else.

With Su Ran's move finalized, Akira Touya seemed to have seen through Su Ran's scheme.

However, there is a common sense in the chess world:

Since ancient times, there have been no famous games where people compete for attention!

Would a master who can deduce such complex moves really tolerate playing a bland and uninteresting game?

After much deliberation, Akira Touya finally made his choice:

Second row, sixteenth column, sandwich!

Come on, Su Ran, didn't you want to stand out?

Then I'll be right here in the bottom left corner, waiting for your retaliation!

Upon seeing Akira Touya's choice, Su Ran raised an eyebrow:

Akira Touya, it's time to show you the terrifying computing power of the Go simulator!

Thinking it over, Su Ran completely ignored the lower left and moved on to the lower right.

He placed another piece next to his only star point.

"clatter!"

The seventeenth column, the seventeenth row, the tip!

"Ok?"

As the move was made, Sai suddenly snapped his folding fan shut.

His slender eyes also focused instantly!

"He's setting up a trap! He's setting up a trap!"

“From the very first move at Tianyuan, Su Ran had already been making his plans!”

Sai excitedly rushed towards Fujimitsu:

"Xiao Guang, you must have noticed it too, right? After Su Ran made that move, although his chess formation was still scattered, he had embedded his own nails in every corner."

"Although none of his moves were the best or the strongest, from the very beginning, he never intended to defeat Akira Touya quickly!"

Just as Sai excitedly rushed in to explain these things to Fujimitsu.

Akira Touya, who was at the center of the game, suddenly raised his head!

At this moment, for some unknown reason, Akira Touya suddenly felt a deep fear of Su Ran's move!

This sense of fear did not originate from Su Ran himself, but rather from the very pieces on the opponent's chessboard—
