Hikaru no game

Answers

Chapter 2.

"Hey Isumi-san have you heard?" A boy with brown hair ask his taller companion by his side.
"What is it Waya?"
"An announcment was made by the admin that Go!Strike will be officialy released!"
"Really? Thats good to know. The game is pretty popular I wonder what gaming company its under?"
"Thats the thing Isumi-san it isnt under one, for the past 3 years, the admin never answer questions regarding about himself or about collaborating and stuff. The admin Sai only announces something if there is an update or any bug, or maintenance."
"Well you cant do anything about it Waya, I mean the person probably just doesnt want to be out on public, but its weird,.......the game doesnt have any production logo, and there isnt even any credits regarding the games team."
Isumi wonders how the game is so well programmed and well thought that it seemed weird that it wasnt under any company. Yes it started out bad when it was first released but a few months later the game features and graphic improved and gained popularity, not only did it capture the attention of kids and teens, the go pros also started to play it, all because of a certain person.

Admin Sai

Nobody knew who he or she was. Pros played Sai, and some pros from other countries even made an account just to see and play the person who was causing an uproar to the go world.
The pros also noticed the way Sai played was like Honinbo Shuusaku who learned modern joseki which made Sai recieve a name called "Saint of NetGo"
There were tons of pros willing to donate a million yen just for the Admins idenity, they even called out a government hacker just for it. But to their dismay, the hacker wasnt able to gain information and also decided that it was to dangerous to meddle with the Admin Sais infos. Weird?
Was there something the hacker saw that made him paralized with fear? The pros didnt think much of it and just decided to continue on their research.

Though something begun to change with the admins playing schedule, almost a year after the game was released. 
Sai would usually play everday at afternoon till late evening, but Sai suddenly only played a few games a week. They never knew why? Was it because they were a busy person, were they a child who was suddenly grounded? Or is it because someone was not letting them? Nobody knew.
For the past 3 years, no information was recieved regarding about Sai. If they ever come across to one and learned more about it, for some unknown reason it would just suddenly disappear. There were some pros who concluded that Sai probably has a elite team filled with hackers working together, erasing the sources about them.

The pros started to lose hope about finding out the identity of Sai, so some decided to call it quits, though they were still updated with the news and the game, they really just continued doing their thing, and just played go.

That is until an announcement was made by Sai that the game would be officially released soon.

The pros wouldnt let the chance slip up and asked some gaming company and the go magazine publishing company to send an interview request to Sai. It was like a drop of water that fell from the sky and into the desert.

"Dont worry Isumi-san we'll probably get some answers sooner or later, I heard some of the people in the forum said that it seems a well known gaming company is planning on having an interview with Admin Sai, and if all goes well maybe a press conference will be held. Or better yet Isumi-san, maybe Sai will be there!!!!!!!" Waya bursting out in excitement thinking how great it would be to finally meet his idol.
"Ok ok calm down Waya, dont get your hopes up, Sai still hasnt said anything about it, the persons gotta have the right to decide for themselves." Trying to calm Waya down, Isumi knew that if his friend got his hopes up to high he knew Waya would also be really really bummed out if all of it disappears. He did not want to experience another incident that Waya caused the last time his hope disappeared.

While the two boys was chatting in front of the vending machine, they didnt notice another person was also listening to their conversation.
Muttering a simple "yes sooner or later." With that the man leaves the two teens alone and heads off back to his home to continue his obsessed research about the certain someone his mind seems to always think of.

"I will know who you are Sai, just you wait.." With that he rode his red sports car and drove away from the go institute.
