Ayanokouji was raised without loveorhappiness.
Ayanokouji took a calculated risk and accepted that he wouldnt be able to control every element in the exam.
This leads to a 3-3 tie.
That said, they are represented at the physical chess board by their proxies, Suzune and Hashimoto.
The latter tries to psych Suzune out by talking about Ayanokouji, but she already prepared for that eventuality.
In fact, I was spellbound as the game went on and each move gained more importance.
While he loses, the protection point prevents him from expulsion.
Im just glad Tsukishiro didnt knock her over again.
He probably would beat her every time.
Shes satisfied with the result, and more importantly glad to have gotten closure on their competition.
Its her loss, and she can live with that.
Im sure if you asked Arisu, shed say anything is possible.
