Chapter 1387 Cram School

/

"Eh? It's strange that an ordinary cram school like ours has capital invested in it. Recently I heard that big capital is eyeing the Go industry. I don't know if it's true or not. I hope it doesn't disturb the already murky water. It’s muddier.”

After receiving the notice from the cram school owner, Shirakawa Michio looked a little melancholy on his face.

He studied under Morishita 9th Dan and now has the title of Professional 5th Dan. His strength is considered good among professional chess players. Because he is young, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, although professional chess players look prosperous, their lives are actually not very good. They can only maintain their daily lives simply by relying on some original subsidies and without receiving any rewards or titles.

Therefore, every professional chess player will more or less receive part-time subsidies from other projects.

Teachers in Go classes like Michio Shirakawa are the most common type.

"Who knows, with the capital injection, at least our life will be much easier, and there will be many more people willing to learn Go..."

A colleague of Shirakawa also said with some regret that there may be disadvantages, but for professional chess players like them, the benefits are definitely more.

Although there are many children learning Go now, in fact most of them treat it as a hobby, and there are really only a few people who are really willing to delve into it as a career.

He has seen too many talented children who eventually gave up on this path.

That's right. If you are willing to invest so much energy in Go, as long as you use this energy and concentration in other industries, your future future will not be better than that of a professional chess player?

People who will become professional chess players now are all those who really like chess...

In the face of an ever-changing world, this ancient traditional project is gradually being diluted and marginalized. Especially now that Japan is still facing unprecedented economic problems, everyone is at a loss about the future.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have a class later, and there are two freshmen."

Shirakawa Michio also shook his head absentmindedly, and then got rid of these distracting thoughts.

It is enough that I like Go and can make a living from it. I am just a pure chess player. As for other things, I cannot change it...

After finishing his suit and tie in the mirror, Michio Shirakawa headed to the Go classroom.

And because he is a fifth-dan professional chess player, many cram school students come here because of this as a gimmick.

But most of them are uncles and aunts, and there are very few young people.

In fact, for novices, getting started does not mean that the higher the teacher's chess skills, the better. It depends on whether the teacher can teach.

On the contrary, after you really become a professional chess player, you need a teacher with higher chess skills to guide you.

After looking at the list and looking down at the fresh faces in the cram school below, Shirakawa Michio nodded. A young man no more than twenty years old was a rare face.

However, for Go, it is actually best to practice boy skills from a young age. The opponent is now in the beginner class of Go at this young age, and it should be due to interest.

It is almost impossible to become a professional chess player.

But then Bai Chuan's mind flashed again, the fat figure of Aang Tian 4th Dan. That person had only been exposed to Go for a short time.

But the genius who has improved his chess skills very quickly, although he is only at the fourth level now, his strength is no less than that of the ordinary seventh and eighth level chess players. He is a true genius.

"Where do so many geniuses come from?"

Shaking his head dumbly and throwing out some thoughts, Shirakawa Michio began today's lecture.

There is another new student who hasn't arrived. Is he late? Looking at the information, he looks like a child.

Both of them joined the class temporarily, so they probably weren't familiar with the basics and couldn't keep up with their own courses.

When the time comes, I will have the opportunity to make up for them individually.

While Shirakawa was explaining, Shinto Hikaru was late to rub his little yellow hair.

"Sorry, sorry, couldn't find the place."

Shindo Hikaru also knew that he was late, and he was full of apologies, and then returned to his seat under Shirakawa's kind smile.

Then he saw Xu Yue next to him with dead eyes.

No, why did I meet this guy again? He keeps messing up his hair, which is so annoying.

But he is also Grandpa's big customer, so he has to smile, it's so difficult...

On the one hand, there was a completely incomprehensible class from Shirakawa, and on the other hand, there was pressure from Xu Yue, and Shindo Hikaru always looked distracted.

However, Fujiwara Sawei floated near Xu Yue again and chatted with him for a while in a lowered voice.

"It's strange, how come you always find Guangzai? I've been paying attention, but I didn't find you following him or anything."

Fujiwara Sawei probably knew that Xu Yue's physical fitness was definitely not bad, but he was a spirit, so it would be no problem to find Xu Yue.

As for keeping an eye on Shindo Hikari, the son of fate, it's not surprising.

Have you ever seen anyone else possessed by a ghost?

There is no doubt that this is the protagonist's.

"My initial status was a bit powerful, so it was not difficult to keep an eye on him."

Xu Yue's answer was very casual, and then Fujiwara Sawei couldn't help but be stunned, and said with a strange face

"There has been a strange change in the general situation here recently. It couldn't be caused by you."

"Who knows..."

While the two were chatting casually, Shindo Hikaru had already begun to yawn.

Baichuan has also completed the basic explanation, and then asked other students to practice one-on-one. After the game is over, he will give individual explanations and guidance based on each person's game.

While others were playing chess, he also had time to come to the two freshmen.

"It's really a rare young face. Even Mr. Xu Yue is the second youngest in our classroom."

Shirakawa Michio smiled and said.

"That's right, but most professional chess players have been practicing since childhood. In comparison, I learned it very late."

Xu Yue also responded politely.

"That is defined based on professional standards. Moreover, Cang Tian's fourth-dan level has just learned Go not long ago. Even with my current strength, I am no match for him. Go still depends on talent."

After starting to talk about other things to get closer, Bai Chuan quickly got to the point and began to prepare to teach the two of them from the most basic aspects.

But he soon discovered that although the kid Hikari Shindo knew nothing and needed to start from scratch, Xu Yue seemed to have understood the basic rules of Go, and his strength seemed to be pretty good.

Since the other students in the cram school have already been paired up, Shirakawa is doing two things. He is preparing to play a game with Xu Yue to see his chess ability and strength, and at the same time give guidance to Shindo Hikaru.

In his opinion, as a professional chess player, it couldn't be easier to deal with two beginners with two skills.

And this is indeed the case.

But probably because of his multitasking, he did not directly pay attention to Xu Yue's growth rate in the game. Instead, Fujiwara Sawei, who was doing nothing, had his eyes widened into frog-like emoticons.

Nest grass! What is your mental strength?

Did you really come in with zero foundation?

Don't play tricks on me, okay...
