"Let''s kick things off, young man, he encouraged.
Anyone present could detect the subtle disdain in Benjamin''s voice.
Five minutes would be enough for a round of Go, implying that his match with Robin would likely conclude in less than three minutes.
Ashley shot Robin a yful grin. "If you manage tost two minutes against my mentor, I''d consider that an aplishment! But honestly, you''re just setting yourself up for a fall!"
Benjamin wagged a finger at Ashley, feigning irritation, Ashley, engaging in chess is much like navigating life; you need to cultivate humility. How can you be so presumptuous andck basic manners? "How can I teach you if you''re acting this way? How will you confront the great master

Robin could sense the thinly veiled critique directed at him, suggesting he was too presumptuous to consider himself a master.
Jack merely smiled, pleased with how the situation was unfolding.
After lecturing Ashley, Benjamin motioned for Robin to take a seat. "Come on, young man. I''d like to see how skilled you really are
"Who taught you? Let''s see if I recognize the name, Benjamin pressed.
Robin replied coolly, "I don''t have a mentor. A few years back, out of sheer boredom, I yed a few games with an old man and picked it up then." Benjamin seemed taken aback. "What? You''ve never had a teacher? You learned entirely of your own? Just from a few games?
Robin raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "Does learning this game truly require a mentor? It seems like just a minor skill to me."
A shadow darkened Benjamin''s expression. "Young man, that''s an ungracious viewpoint.
"A genuine yer must respect the game. How can you excel if you don''t honor it?"

Robin shrugged dismissively. "I never thought about it that way. Isn''t ying just about having fun?
"If it''s merely about seeking fame and showing oll, then what''s the point?
"I prefer to go with the flow and let things unfold naturally. If something doesn''t bring me joy, I''d rather not pursue it. "Why you... Benjamin seethed.
"Alright, alright! Set up the board; I want to see how your carefree approach trantes into y!"
Jack watched Robin''s rxed demeanor with a hint of amusement in his eyes
Freya observed Robin with keen interest.
From their first meeting, she noted hisid-back, distant attitude.
Initially, she had viewed Robin as merely boastful.
However, each demonstration of his skill left her increasingly impressed.
Gradually, she began to believe that Robin''s confidence was a sign of remarkable talent that surpassed her expectations.
At first, Jack had suggested that Robin challenge Benjamin.
She had thought it impossible for Robin to defeat someone like Benjamin.
After all, Benjamin was a top master in the Southeast Aurientia Gomunity.
In recent years, few had managed to im victory over him.
Yet, Robin''s philosophy intrigued her.
His perspective on life-going with the flow and allowing events to unfold-echoed the mindset of true
masters.
To those driven by vanity, it was merely arrogance and ignorance.
Freya lifted her striking eyes, studying Robin''s ruggedly handsome face with newfound seriousness
Suddenly, she felt a strong desire to understand him better.
Lost in her thoughts, she barely registered that the match between Benjamin and Robin had already begun.

The board radiated lethal intent.
As soon as he ced his stone, Benjamin felt a choking sensation, as if a de was at his throat.
After a moment of tension, he couldn''t help but chuckle softly.
The young man might start with bravado and ir.
But soon enough, he would undoubtedly reveal his ws and weaknesses.
After all, shy tactics had their limits.
Having encountered many yers like this before, Benjamin felt confident in his eventual victory.
