"The winner: Yukima Azuma, 5th dan."

The referee's announcement echoed across the hall—

—and a wave of gasps and murmurs swept through the room.

All around, matches were still in their early stages.

Players at nearby tables paused mid-move, craning their necks toward Azuma's board.

Then came the silence.

The stunned silence of realization.

And then—horror.
