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

Takeshi Gouda scoffed, his eyes fixed on Su Ran, his fists clenched tightly, and his teeth clenched.

"What kind of attitude is this guy? Does he think he's guaranteed to win? There are eight of us here!"

"That guy is the same, and that bastard Akira Touya is the same too. Just because they have talent, they think they can look down on everyone?"

While thinking, Takeshi Gouda walked over and sat down opposite Su Ran.

“There’s only one monster like Akira Touya in this world… The other members of the Go club may be insignificant, but I, Takeshi Gouda, am no ordinary person!”

"Come on, kid, let me teach you a lesson!"

Thinking of this, Takeshi Gouda forcefully put down the Go box, and with a loud bang, the whole table shook.

The chess pieces inside the box made a crisp, clattering sound, as if expressing Takeshi Gouda's dissatisfaction.

"The score is six and a half points, no handicap. You're black, we're white, is that alright?"

Takeshi Gouda spoke coldly.

Su Ran thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No need, it's better for you guys to play black."

what! ?

Upon hearing Su Ran's words, everyone, including Seto Seiichi, widened their eyes once again.

"Arrogant brat, you'll pay the price!"

The three handsome generals retorted indignantly.

However, since Su Ran herself wants to die, there's no need for them to stop her.

After exchanging glances, the group decided to follow Su Ran's suggestion.

They will take the black pieces first, and they will definitely have to temper the arrogance of this young man from China!

"Alright, let's begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Takeshi Gouda reached into the Go box and placed a black stone.

Four rows and four columns, stars.

Su Ran remained silent, and with a snap, the white piece landed on another star position.

Sixteen rows and sixteen columns, stars.

After making his move, Su Ran turned to look at another game of chess.

Naruto Hirosue placed his stone in the fourth column, third row, at the small eye.

Su Ran placed another piece and then moved on to another game.

Eight columns and twelve rows.

Three columns and five rows.

Six columns and seventeen rows.

……

This time, Su Ran used her experience from online games over the past two months, along with the book "The Principles of Go" left by her father, as guidance for her strategy, and relied purely on her own ability to calculate the moves she made.

Even without turning on the simulator, he now possessed strength comparable to an amateur 7th dan.

This is more than enough for eight secondary school students.

Not using an emulator is actually a good way to quickly improve your chess skills.

Time ticked by, and Su Ran's moves were swift and precise.

Naruto Hirosue frowned, thought for a long time, and then placed his chess piece.

Su Ran walked over and examined the chessboard.

"Is Heizi trying to force me to back down by 'attacking' me?"

"I'm sorry, I won't budge an inch."

"Three columns and twelve rows, bump."

Su Ran made her move.

As Su Ran placed his piece in the third column and twelfth row, Hirosue Naruto's expression turned noticeably more unpleasant.

"Who...who does this guy think he is?"

Seto Seiichi stood behind the members of the Go club, quietly watching each game.

"The layout is very solid, there's nothing to criticize..."

Seeing Su Ran place his piece in the third column and twelfth row, Seto Seiichi was slightly taken aback.

"Oh? Bump?"

"Waiting for a move? Facing Black's attack, I don't know how to respond, so I'm using a probing move to see Black's response?"

"No, this touch is very interesting."

Seto Seiichi's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded secretly.

“Black was afraid that White would attack the high point, so it deliberately used the move of ‘hitting’ to dissuade Su Ran from attacking the high point.”

"Because once this move is made, the situation in the game becomes very tense, and if the attack continues, the battle will become fierce."

“苏然并没有太多时间浪费发*书！群>9：8,0s2:0ュ58:5/6，由?呆ュ呆。发，自在一盘棋局之上，而黑子却有充裕的时间思考。”

“This is Kuroko’s advantage… so Kuroko wants to use ‘hitting’ to force Su Ran to back down.”

"Hei Zi thought Bai Zi would back down, but he didn't expect that this kid named Su Ran would accept the challenge."

"You want to fight to the death, one against eight?"

"This kid named Su Ran is really... proud."

"Is it because you feel you will win no matter what that makes you so proud?"

Looking at Hirosue Naruto, whose chest was heaving violently with anger, Seto Seiichi could roughly guess what he was thinking.

It's nothing more than thoughts like "How dare he do this?" or "He actually looks down on me."

Seto Seiichi sighed almost imperceptibly, patted Hirosue Naruto on the shoulder, and went to look at the next game of Go.

He became increasingly curious about Su Ran.

"Are you so confident in your computing power, Su Ran?"

"but……"

Seto Aoki glanced at Gouda Takeshi, who was lazily tapping the table with a Go stone in the corner, looking at the Go board.

"That child will give you a surprise."

"If you are not careful when facing him, you will die without a burial place."

"Takeshi Gouda is very strong."

"Like a hedgehog, covered in thorns, if you try to grasp it, your hands will be covered in blood!"

Su Ran looked at the chess game between him and Gouda Takeshi.

"what?"

Su Ran let out a soft "Eh?" and asked, "Get down here?"

Even at the very beginning of the game, Su Ran discovered that Gota Takeshi's strength far surpassed that of the other members of the Go club.

This move was completely unexpected by Su Ran.

Takeshi Gouda surprisingly placed his stone in the 12th column, 7th row, at the tip.

"Wasn't there an opportunity for grapes over there? Why didn't he take it?"

"Twelve columns and seven rows, is it pointed?"

"He doesn't covet that piece; he wants to use the sharp point to divide my white pieces' camp, preventing them from being suppressed or escaped by my flying piece?"

For the past two months, Su Ran has been eagerly learning about Go, and he has increasingly developed his own opinions on the current game.

"I want to deploy Xiaofei, in rows 8 and 14, to surround and attack the black pieces, forcing them to the bottom line to survive, but..."

"But... if Kuroko gains strength, I risk being cut off. Is that feasible?"

Su Ran reviewed the games he had played over the past few months, totaling nearly ten thousand simulated games. Soon, countless variations after placing a piece in the fourteenth column and eight rows appeared before his eyes.

At the same time, countless other moves and all the subsequent changes flooded his mind.

"I see."

A strange light flickered in Su Ran's eyes as she gently reached into the chess box.

"Like an inconspicuous hedgehog, when I unknowingly pick you up from the ground, I will scream and bleed uncontrollably."

"Are you the Xiaofei I've been waiting for?"

"If that's the case, then that's good."

Su Ran picked up a white chess piece and stared intently at the chessboard, her blood seemingly boiling.

Inside his chest, a flame burned fiercely.

The wrist holding the chess piece is suspended high.

The chess piece gently falls!

Inside the quiet Go club room, the crisp sound of stones being placed echoed.

"Eight out of fourteen, Xiao Fei!"

"Come on, Takeshi Gouda!"

In the pursuit of the Way of Chess, what right do we have to give up so easily?

As Su Ran placed his chess piece, Takeshi Gouda's eyes narrowed, and his lazy expression vanished instantly.
