With that, Liu Yi strode forward. With his hands behind his back, he said in an old-fashioned manner, "Our first match is chess. I'll compete."
Yi Junkun took out the chess pieces and placed them on the high platform.
Dongyi Academy had no objections and let Liu Yi choose his opponent.
Liu Yi looked at the students and finally pointed to the last one. "Him."
The teacher had said that chess players had to be calm and patient. They had to slowly figure out the strategy for the game. Otherwise, they would lose everything if they made a single mistake. Hence, after looking around, Liu Yi chose the person who looked the most impatient.
That person also walked out of the group and stood on the stage with his hands behind his back.
He and Liu Yi greeted each other and sat on the two sides of the chessboard. One of them held a black piece while the other held a white piece. The person who acted as the referee was the overseer.
