Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 47

After a quarter of an hour, Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. He hasn't played such a wonderful chess game for a long time.

"I lost." Higashino lowered his head, feeling very disappointed.

"It's amazing, Brother Dongye," Xiaochun praised: "At the end of September last year, you were just a beginner in Go, right? Now you have almost reached the level required by the college students."

Higashino Hibiki was surprised, it was the first time he knew his own strength.

After all, after he has been learning Go for a while, those who have played Go are those who are high in the professional second stage, and those who are low are rookie Mengxin.

In Xiaochun's mouth, it is much higher than what he thinks.

When the people around heard this sentence, they nodded in appreciation: "As expected of a cartoonist, he is really talented."

"If you concentrate on Go," an old man asked Xiaochun out of curiosity, "Can Mr. Akino Tori become a professional Go player before the age of 20?"

Xiaochun thought to himself, no one knows the gap between amateur and professional better than him, he spent the first half of his life trying to find a way to bridge it, but unfortunately his talent is not good.

"Brother Dongye, how long do you play Go every day?"

"There will be three or four hours a week," Higashino recalled, "Occasionally, I will look at the chess record and think about using it in "Soul of Chess."

"In such a short time..."

Xiaochun’s pupil earthquake, when he was young, he spent 10 hours a day playing chess and studying, he couldn’t figure out why the gap between human beings is so big?

"If it's true, then..." Xiaochun smiled wryly, "it's not impossible to become Honinbo or a famous person."

"real!"

"Amazing!"

"Will we be able to play a national player!"

Both the onlookers and Higashino Hibiki did not expect that Xiaochun's evaluation was so high.

Higashino Hibiki himself was under Yamazaki's hands on weekdays, and he was hit hard.

Is that guy envious of his talent?Is that why you are ruthless?

"Thank you," Higashino stood up, "However, I don't plan to go deeper in Go."

"I have found the path I want to go, and I don't have time and energy to spend on other places. It's okay to have fun occasionally. Sorry! I have failed everyone's expectations."

Two hours later, in the chess game between Higashino and the others, Higashino didn't lose a single game, and went home happily.

Xiaochun looked at Higashi Higashi's leaving back, a trace of complexity and jealousy flashed in his eyes.

"If only I had his talent."

When I was concentrating on Go, I failed to pass the exam as a professional player. Now I still have work to distract me, and I am getting older, so it is even more impossible to become a professional player.

The thing he dreamed of was actually abandoned.

"Oh." With a sigh.

After patting his cheek and concentrating, he looked at the latest chess record again.

……

On April 4th, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and youthful. It has been four days since the students returned to school.

In the auditorium of the school, the graduation ceremony of the senior high school students was ushered in.

Higashino sat in class A of the third grade art department, waiting for the graduation speech.

"Now I invite the graduates to give a speech, the representative of the graduates, Hiroichi Nakai."

Higashino Hibiki thought it would be Takagi-senpai, after all, she was admitted to Dongda University.

Unexpectedly, Nakai is better than Takagi.

Higashino watched as Hiroichi Nakai walked up to the microphone with his head held high, and looked around the school.

"On this beautiful spring day, we have successfully ushered in the graduation ceremony. Three years, with the flick of a finger, have benefited me a lot.

I always remember the help from my teachers and classmates.

In Yanyan High School, I achieved excellent grades, and at the same time actively carried out club activities, and found my inner support.

I established the Go club, and everyone studied Go together, which was the happiest time of my three years in high school.Although it is almost abolished. "

The students burst out laughing, and Higashino saw that although Nishimura was also smiling, his eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.

Nakai looked around, and finally set his sights on Nishimura, "Nishimura-kun, thank you for joining the Go club at the last moment, saving the crumbling club, and allowing me to leave with peace of mind. Thank you!"

He bowed at 90°.

"Naka...Senior Nakai..." Nishimura burst into tears, and couldn't help it anymore, sobbing with his head down.

"The Go club will be handed over to you, Nishimura!"

"Yes!" Nishimura stood up, bowed and responded, tears dripping on the ground.

"Well, my speech is over, thank you all."

……

After the graduation ceremony, Nishimura was always moved. The senior entrusted himself with the future of the Go club. This kind of plot seems to be in the anime.

This kind of club pillar, or indispensable excitement, did not end until after school in the afternoon.

Nishimura reacted and was very entangled. He didn't know what to do with the Go Club. What is Senior Nakai's request?
Where does he hope the Weiqi Club will reach?Do not abolish the society?Participate in the competition?Still number one in Tokyo!

"It can't be the number one in Japan!"

He went crazy in front of Higashino, "I'm sorry, I can't do it, Higashino!"

"Ai if you can't do it..." Higashino pursed his lips and stopped.

He watched Hiroshi Nakai walking over with a heavy face, looking very preoccupied.

So he pushed Xi Cun who was about to hide behind him, and he looked lively.

"I've thought about it carefully, Nishimura," Nakai said, "Even if the Go club can survive for a while, but you are all high school seniors, and after a year, I'm afraid you will disappear. My requirements were too strict just now. Don't take it to heart."

He patted Nishimura on the shoulder and sighed.

Nishimura showed a strange look on his face, "So, Senior Nakai just hopes that the Go Club will not be abolished? Is that all?"

"That's all?" Nakai was dissatisfied, and scolded: "Nishimura, don't say it is so easy. Although there is still a year, Go is only a niche sport! This is the mood that no newcomer has had in this year."

"Senior Nakai attended the graduation ceremony, so he hasn't been to the activity room yet." Nishimura did not argue, and took the lead, grabbed Higashino Hibiki, and walked towards the activity room.

Nakai followed behind to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his throat.

Higashino Hibiki was speechless, "...what are you pulling me for?"

"Hey," Nishimura smiled, "I'll let you see my scenery."

When I came to the Go activity room, there was the sound of chess playing inside.

"Da da da" connected together, very lively.

Xi Cun opened the club door, and inside the 50-square-meter space, there were actually 10 tables, more than [-] people were playing chess, and there were some onlookers.

"How about it! See it! My achievement!"

He proudly said to Nakai who was stunned.

"How is it possible? How could there be so many members? Nishimura, how did you do it!"

"Of course it's my unique charm," Nishimura said with his hips akimbo, "I'm just joking, it's all because of watching "Soul of Chess" that I fell in love with Go."
