Chapter 395 Blocked by Fans

Tokyo Chess Academy.

"Beiyuan, Beiyuan, here."

In front of the lounge door on the second floor, Kitahara Kento, who was waiting for the end of the match between Aoi Sangbu and Aoi, turned around when he heard the sound. A male colleague from the chess academy was waving to him.

Beiyuan sage stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Many girls are blocking the gate of the Chess Academy, waiting for you to go out."

The sage of Beiyuan was stunned for a moment, what was going on, he didn't know.

"I don't know them, what's going on?"

The male colleagues at the Chess Academy had strange eyes and explained: "They are all your female fans. They spontaneously organized a support meeting to congratulate you on getting the right to challenge the celebrity. This is how they explained it. There is also a person who claims to be your classmate. "

The sage of Beiyuan was slightly stunned, and asked, "Should I go out to meet them now? Or is there another arrangement by the Chess Academy?"

The male colleague of the chess academy grinned, and said with a smile: "The chess academy means that you give them a Go lesson. It is rare that so many young people come to the chess academy together. They are all potential newcomers to Go. Here is the reason for the director talk."

The Kitahara sage reacted for a while, and asked with a little worry: "There is still a competition going on upstairs, is this okay?"

"It's okay, the directors nodded."

Beiyuan Xianren nodded in understanding, and said, "Okay, I have no problem, let's start now?"

"You go to the classroom to prepare first, and I will lead them up." The male colleague hurriedly left a sentence, and hurried downstairs. After running a few steps, he slapped his head again, turned around and smiled: "By the way, congratulations to Beiyuan Chuduan on his way!" It will become Beiyuan Eighth Duan."

Beiyuan sage nodded with a smile and thanked him.

According to the promotion system of the Chess Institute, professional chess players who have won the right to challenge the title of Chess Master, Celebrity, Honinbo, and the runner-up in the world chess game can be directly promoted to the professional eighth dan.By tomorrow, or after class in a while, his Go name can be changed to "Beiyuan Baduan".

He didn't know whether this promotion speed broke the record of the Tokyo Chess Academy. He only knew that the world record was held by Li Qincheng, who was titled the strongest in the first stage (he was still in the early stage, and he could cut a bunch of famous world champions like melons and vegetables. Cut under the horse) won the Asian Cup Rapid Chess Tournament, the second dan went straight to the ninth dan.

There is also "Boss Fan" who won the Go Olympic Games, defeated the No.1 Go in the world at that time, set the world championship record for the youngest player in the world, and a nine-dan record.

The Kitahara sage expressed his feelings. Compared with this, his achievements seem to be inconspicuous. To put it bluntly, the achievements of the current island country Go in any title battle cannot be placed on the table of the world chess world after all.

He watched his male colleague leave and let out a sigh of relief.

So many people ran to the gate of the Chess Academy to support him and cheer for him. It is not in vain that the Chess Academy has spent a lot of time to promote him madly recently.If he didn't get some rewards and repay the Chess Academy, he would almost feel ashamed that the Chess Academy spent so much money to give him free publicity.

The Kitahara sage found a nearby chess teaching room, took out two stacks of paper cups from the cabinet, enthusiastically placed them on each table, and poured hot water one by one.

Within 3 minutes, noisy footsteps came from the corridor outside, and soon, more than 30 girls walked into the chess teaching room one by one with small expressions of excitement.

Kitahara sage, who was pouring water for them, turned around to look, leaned slightly to say hello, and then told them with a smile that there was still a competition upstairs, so try not to disturb it.

The girls kept nodding happily, seeing Bei Yuan pouring water for them, all of them smiled happily and filed in one after another with hisses.At the end of the line, even Director Goto of Kiin came to join in the fun, followed by the photographer.

"It's really handsome."

"It's like a walking photobook."

"Pour water for us yourself, those idiots who didn't come, just wait until you find out and regret it in your heart!"

"."

The sage of Beiyuan has sharp eyes, and immediately locked on a small girl who was looking left and right in the crowd, Xiaolin Lianghua!

Kobayashi Lianghua, member of the Disciplinary Committee, that idiot girl who is addicted to playing games, is also his right-hand man. He once frightened away Baitong who wanted to arrest him. Even until now, Baitong has not dared to A step into the Ministry of Discipline Inspection.

"Minister!" Xiaolin Lianghua waved in surprise, ran up, and whispered, "On behalf of Feng Gao's classmate fan club, I'm here to support you."

The sage of Beiyuan didn't understand Xiaolin Lianghua's temperament.

He laughed and said: "It's fine, it's fine, don't pretend, after the congratulations, go and do your own thing."

Xiaolin Lianghua laughed, and she was not polite, turned around and ran away with her schoolbag on her back, and hurried home to play games!

Standing in front of the vertical magnet chessboard, Kitahara sage didn't talk about chess immediately, but first thanked them for taking time out of their busy schedules to come here, and sincerely thanked everyone for their support.

After going through a set of thank you procedures, he still didn't start talking about chess. He knew in his heart that these people didn't come here to listen to chess. Talking about chess is too boring. If he talks too much, not only he is tired, but they are even more tired and confused.The careful thinking of the chess academy has to be done step by step, step by step.

The Kitahara sage started chatting without putting on airs at all, just like meeting neighbors, chatting with them with a smile, answering their various questions, and talking about their daily interests and hobbies to satisfy their gossip curiosity.

He is very familiar with these things, and he is too familiar with them. When the band competed before, Chiharu Tsurumi did a lot of training on how to communicate with fans.

Mr. Goto, the director of the chess academy standing behind, nodded secretly. Kitahara-kun is much more professional than he imagined, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After a while, there were noisy footsteps outside the door again. After knocking on the door, more than a dozen senior chess players also came to join in the fun. They are all old buddies who often come and go to the chess academy.

The old people were very knowledgeable, they didn't bother the little girl in front, they sat in the back tacitly, next to Director Goto, they were all looking at the scene in front of them cheerfully.

A bald old man said with emotion: "Goto, it's not easy. It's rare to see so many young people in the chess academy classroom."

Director Goto also had mixed feelings in his heart, which was very unpleasant.

In the Showa era of the last century, a full one-tenth of Japan's population was Go population.

Even in the most prosperous era, if you want to rank the top ten top Go players in the world, Japanese Go can be ranked six, seven or eight.That was the most glorious era of Go in Japan. Known as the overlord of Go in the world, its dominance in Go is comparable to the current dominance of table tennis on the other side of the ocean, and even stronger.

But now, the old are old and the scattered are scattered. Of the 200 million Go population back then, there are only less than 300 million now, and most of them are elderly people.The Tokyo Chess Academy has also changed from being crowded with people and busy traffic back then to being empty and miserable now.And every year he loses face in the World Championships.

In the current Chess Academy, it is rare to see young people. It is a group of wrinkled old men who are still sticking to it. Sometimes when you look inside, those who don’t know it think they are opening a nursing home.

An old man wearing glasses looked at the scene in front of him and said with relief and sigh: "Goto, I think this is very good. Go must keep pace with the times. If you don't think about it, no one will play chess in the future."

"You communicate more with other directors, just like this, find someone who young people like to promote Go, even if they talk about something unrelated to Go, at least the chess academy will become lively, isn't it? Among individuals, only one person is interested in Go, and it is better than slowly becoming no one."

"Beiyuan-kun is a kid with the right character, the right appearance, and even more suitable chess skills. If he can do it."

"Mr. Ando, ​​what you said is right." Director Goto politely responded to the elder, and then fell into deep thought.
