Chapter 92: What Is Wrong With You Father and Daughter?!

"But as far as I know, Shimizu-kun, you shouldn't have practiced that hard. So how were you able to defeat the seniors from so many major clubs?"

Yuto rubbed his nose. "That should be because my talent is just a tiny bit higher than theirs. So I only need to work a little, and I become better than them."

Every student in Class A felt their mouths twitch at that answer.

What an arrogant reply...

"Shimizu-kun, aren't you afraid someone will hit you for saying that?" Arisu asked with a smile.

"No. Because they can't beat me."

"..."

Mm. Very reasonable. Very convincing.

"That's enough chatting. Time for the main event. I have an appointment with an old man, so let's settle this quickly, Sakayanagi-san."

"Very well."

Arisu put away her smile, and her entire presence turned serious.

Kikyo and Kei, standing on either side of Yuto, suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.

That pressure came from the small, delicate silver-haired girl in front of them.

After that, the only sounds left in the Class A classroom were the crisp taps of Yuto and Arisu placing their pieces, and the clicking of the chess clock.

Most of them did not understand chess.

They could not read the board between Yuto and Arisu at all.

Yet somehow, a suffocating pressure rose in their hearts.

It was a pressure that made even breathing feel difficult.

At the same time, the sound of Yuto and Arisu placing their pieces seemed to tug at their breathing and heartbeats.

It was truly an unbelievable situation.

Katsuragi, who had also stayed in the Class A classroom, felt some regret.

He should have opposed Arisu's decision to make Class A the venue for this wager.

'Sakayanagi intends to use this wager against Shimizu-kun to let the students feel her presence. That way, she can strengthen the awe she holds in everyone's hearts.'

Katsuragi thought silently.

He understood very clearly that once Arisu's wager with Yuto ended, whether she won or lost, her reputation would absolutely rise another step.

Thirty-one minutes later, Arisu looked expressionlessly at her king, which had fallen into encirclement.

The timer ticked away.

Finally, all of Arisu's remaining thinking time ran out.

"I lost."

Arisu had never faced such a complex and powerful opponent before.

Shimizu Yuto could not only answer every move she made, but even respond with something better.

"I lost completely."

Arisu stared deeply at Yuto, who sat across from her.

Her eyes were bright and intense. There was no disappointment from defeat, only joy and heat from encountering powerful prey.

A bottomless genius had surrounded and crushed her openly on the chessboard.

Wasn't someone like that even more interesting to challenge?
