Chapter 475:

Rivoltante

En Passant Grandmaster

While the women's team was off to an early lead, first blood still had yet to be drawn on the men's side.

Playing as White, Flavio gleefully opened the game by moving his pawn to e4 as Okisato moved his pawn to e5.

"You making dis nice n' easy for me," Flavio taunted as he moved his knight to f3.

"No, I'd never make anything easy for you," Okisato glared as he moved his pawn to f5. "Huh? What's dis? You ruinin' my Italian with a free pawn? I don't like shit droppin on my car ya know," Flavio scowled as he captured the pawn at f5 with his e-pawn.

"You deserve to drown in shit," Okisato snarled as he moved his pawn to e4.

"For what? The project with your momma? Get over it! You're a grown man, not some clingy little tit sucking neonate," Flavio taunted as he moved his knight to e5.

"Che ne dici di soffocare con un raviolo raffermo e infilarti una picca di ferro nel culo [How about you choke on a stale ravioli and shove an iron pike up your ass]?" Okisato retorted as he moved his knight to f6.

Flavio angrily slammed his hands down on the table. "THE HELLS YOU JUST SAY TO ME, PUNK!?"

"What, you don't speak Italian?"

"Piccola merda, ti fotterò subito [You little shit, I'm gonna fuck you right up]!" Flavio fumed as he moved his pawn to d4.

"Wow, Iori-chan was right. There really is no need to lose myself to rage over a swirling diarrhea milkshake like you," Okisato snickered, a mischievous smile cracking on his face as he moved his pawn to d6.

"You riling me up!? You're cruisin' for a real bruising!" Flavio glared as he moved his knight to g4.

"Cruising to give YOU a bruising," Okisato clapped back as he captured the pawn at f5 with his bishop.

"All right, DAT'S IT! You wanna piece of me? You gettin' a knuckle sandwich! Check!" Flavio fumed as he captured the knight at f6 with his knight.

"How much is the "check" or is it blank like the inside of your head?" Okisato snickered as he captured the knight at f6 with his queen.

"Oh, we's got a wise guy here! YOUS TRYIN TO MAKE FUN OF ME!?" Flavio shouted as he slammed his bishop down on e3.

"Why wouldn't I? I hate you," Okisato grinned as he flipped Flavio off while moving his pawn to d5.

"Oh you're fucking DEAD for dat!" Flavio fumed as he slammed his knight down on c3.

Iori glanced over at the game and smiled. "That's the Oki-kun I know and love. Mess with your enemies and get THEM riled up and angry, not you. That's how you fuck em up so nicely," she thought as she returned her focus to her own game.

As for the marquee match, Okisato had moved his pawn to c6, with Flavio, still at maximum rage levels, moving his pawn to h4.

"Who knew it'd be this satisfying to see this bastard again. A shame I'm getting the feeling this match won't be the be-all-end-all for him, but beating him after pissing him off this much in front of Olavi will serve as a nice battle victory," Okisato thought as he moved his knight to d7.

"You're probably thinking you're the big cheese with that fancy grandmaster title of yours. Well I've been stuck in Finland for years, so I haven't been able to get out n' rack up the elo for my title!" Flavio ranted as he slammed his bishop down on g5.

"Oh really? So the reason you're not a grandmaster is because you couldn't get to any tournaments? I thought you were just shit," Okisato snickered as he moved his queen to e6.

Flavio gritted his teeth so hard, it was a miracle they didn't shatter on the spot as he was moving his bishop to e2. Okisato only added to the anger by moving his knight to f6, causing Flavio to angrily clutch his head as he tried to think up his next move.

"They did say you could resign," Okisato taunted.

"SHUT UP, WILL YOUS!" Flavio shouted as he moved his bishop to f4.

"If you wanted quiet, you shouldn't have whisked me away to a dimension where talking during play isn't forbidden," Okisato snickered as he moved his bishop to b4.

"Oh, you're bout to be permanently shut up and sleepin with the fishes when I'm done with yous!" Flavio fumed as he moved his pawn to a3.

"Oh look, a3, my signature move. How foolish to play it against me," Okisato taunted as he moved his bishop to a5.

"YOU AIN'T CLAIMIN NO SHIT ON MY BOARD!" Flavio shouted as he slammed his pawn down on b4.

"Oh, it's your board? No wonder it's so low-quality," Okisato snickered as he moved his bishop to d8.

"Now DAT... was a weak comeback. You really think you could keep me riled up forever? You just blinked first an ran back to momma!" Flavio roared as he castled king's side.

"Please, you know I can't do that, nor would I if kaa-san was still here. Because I ain't running, I'm stepping back to get a better angle for the pot shot I'm about to lob into your window!" Okisato clapped back as he too castled king's side.

"I'm gonna dip ya in buttered up cement!" Flavio seethed as he slammed his bishop down on e5.

"'Buttered up cement'!? Pft, HAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE!" Okisato laughed, tears in his eyes, as he moved his knight to g4.

Even some of the others nearby couldn't hold back their laughter, including some of Flavio's own teammates. Perhaps the only ones seething with a much fury as Flavio at this moment were Olavi and Irja, the former of which not showing it as he maintained a plastered smile, fearing any sign of him showing dismay could further rally team Japan to victory.

"What's yous all laughin' at? I AIN'T NO LAUGHIN' MATTER!" Flavio roared as he slammed his bishop down on g3.

"Really? Then what's this?" Okisato smirked as he moved his queen to g6.

"'What's dis'!? DIS IS YOUR GRAVE N' FUNERAL SERVICE!" Flavio fumed as he slammed his pawn down on b5.

And that was the moment Okisato could relax and let the full-chuuni take the wheel.

"Wanna know 'What's dis'? It's a joke, that's what!" Okisato snickered while doing a mocking impression of Flavio as he captured the pawn at f2 with his knight.

Inaudible angry Italian gibberish erupted from Flavio's lips as he thrashed around in his seat while somehow managing to capture the knight at f2 with his bishop without sending every other piece on the board flying.

"Sorry, I'm a polyglot, but I can't understand stupid," Okisato taunted as he moved his bishop to h3.

"OH YOU KNOW YOU'RE DOING, AND I DO TOO!" Flavio shouted, his face turning redder than a tomato as he slammed his pawn down on g3.

"Do you really? You said it yourself that you've been cooped up in Finland for years, so how much do you really know about me now? I'm not the same kid I was back then, I've hardened up," Okisato glared as he captured the bishop at f2 with his rook.

"You think I was cut off from information? We got primo internet in Finland, shit you'd never get in your fancy smancy Japan, or even the States!" Flavio growled as he captured the rook at f2 with his king.

"Oh, you had internet. So were you spending your days jerking off while I was getting jacked? No wonder there's such a chasm between us!" Okisato laughed as he moved his bishop to c7.

"YOU PISSIN ME OFF AGAIN!" Flavio fumed as he slammed his pawn down on g4.

"The whole point, ignoramus. Check," Okisato snickered as he moved his rook to f8.

And that would be all it would take as after Flavio angrily moved his king to e1, it was combo time.

"You said you'd give me a check before, so how about you give me one with the exact number of digits as checks I'm about to give you in a row before mate. Here's check number two in a row in case you were too stupid to tell," Okisato snickered as he captured the rook at f1 with his rook.

"I's ain't payin you JACK SHIT!" Flavio shouted as he captured the rook at f1 with his bishop.

"Triple digits, cuz it's check number three. I don't care what you want. The bank says you're paying, and that's what's gonna happen," Okisato grinned as he moved his bishop to g3.

"SCREW DA BANKS! And I'm smart enough to count! I'm a rocket scientist!" Flavio fumed as he moved his king to d2.

"Really? I thought you wee just posing as a scientist back then as part of some tax evasion scheme you had going. Oh, could that be why you holed yourself away in Finland?" Okisato mockingly gasped as he moved his queen to h6, delivering the fourth check in a row.

"Taxes ain't a thing in the utopias, sept for the Babylons cuz they're the ones we's took over," Flavio snarled as he moved his pawn to g5.

"Oh no, my queen... Check number 5!" Okisato manically laughed as he moved his bishop to f4.

"YOUS NEVER TAKE ME SERIOUSLY!" Flavio fumed as he slammed his king down on e2.

"Why would I? You're a clown... in a SIX-CHECK COMBO!" Okisato laughed, the chuuni completely taken over, as he slammed his bishop down on g4.

"'COMBO'!? I OUGHTA COMBO YOU IN THE NUTS!" Flavio shouted at the top of his lungs as he slammed his king down on f2.

"Ah, you must love combos. You could have ended it, but you decided to give me a 7th check in a row! Think that's a new record!" Okisato snickered as he captured the pawn at h4 with his queen.

"IMMA SMASH A RECORD ON YOUR FACE, THEN SMASH YOUR FACE INTO DA RECORD PLAYER!" Flavio fumed as he slammed his king down on g2.

"Only in your wet dreams. Checkmate, ba-ka!" Okisato snickered as he flipped off Flavio and moved his queen to h2, winning the game.

Flavio blinked for a few seconds before slamming his fists down as hard as he could on the board, sending every piece up into the air before falling back down and scattering all over. "RIVOLTANTE!" he shouted at the top of his lungs before passing out from the anger overload.

Okisato leaned back in his seat and smiled as he clenched his fist. He had finally beat the first of the "sinful six" that had conspired to kill his mother. And best of all, his victory coupled with Zagos just moments ago meant the men's team had secured a 2-0 lead against Finland, meaning that according to Olavi, they would be able to leave even if the others lost their matches. Though in the masked man's case, that didn't even seem to be a possibility.
