Chapter 498:

Batshit crazy wizard

En Passant Grandmaster

Reaching the playing hall, Okisato arrived just in time to avoid forfeiting on time. "Sorry to keep you waiting, but rest assured, Ginji's been dealt with," he nodded as he sat down across from Nándor.

Both the masked man and Zago had done their parts, getting Japan to a 2-1 lead over Hungary. Now it was Okisato's turn to try and bring home the win, as that could be the difference between getting medals or not.

"I am WIZARD!" Nándor proclaimed as he opened the game by moving his pawn to g3.

"I already slayed a witch, guess I'll slay a wizard too," Okisato smirked as he moved his pawn to e5.

"Nándor is wizard... WITH THE BLOOD OF ATTILA!" Nándor proclaimed as he moved his bishop to g2 while generating lightning from his fingertips.

"Lightning... So you going to summon an arena der blizholle too?" Okisato scowled as he moved his pawn to d5.

"What!? Nándor did not understand!" Nándor roared as he slammed his pawn down on d3.

"Never mind," Okisato sighed as he moved his knight to c6.

"Nándor DEMANDS you tell him!" Nándor fumed as he moved his knight to f3.

"You face the Prussians?" Okisato asked as he moved his knight to f6.

"Nándor has... But Nándor only saw lich, no wizard," Nándor stated as he castled king's side.

"What round did you face them in?" Okisato asked as he moved his bishop to e6.

"Nándor doesn't remember insignificant things like that," Nándor scoffed as he moved his knight to g5.

"Who did you play then?" Okisato asked as he moved his bishop to f5.

"Nándor only remembers glory," Nándor stated as he moved his pawn to h3.

"So you either didn't play Diederich, or you did and lost to him. Got it," Okisato grumbled as he moved his queen to d7.

"NÁNDOR NEVER LOSES!" Nándor shouted as he slammed his pawn down on e4.

"You just said it yourself that you make yourself forget about your losses," Okisato growled as he captured the pawn at e5 with his d-pawn.

"Nándor said no such thing!" Nándor clapped back as he moved his pawn to g4.

"Technically true in a sense... Then what do you do if you lose to someone?" Okisato asked as he moved his pawn to h6.

"Nándor told you, Nándor never loses!" Nándor fumed as he captured the pawn at e4 with his knight.

"Then what eill you do when I beat you?" Okisato asked as he moved his bishop to e6.

"NÁNDOR WON'T LOSE! CHECK!" Nándor shouted, an aura of electricity emanating from him as he captured the knight at f6 with his knight.

"Guess I'll find out soon enough," Okisato mumbled as he captured the knight at f6 with his knight.

"YOU WON'T!" Nándor shouted as he moved his rook to e1.

"With how you're playing, it might be sooner than you think," Okiato thought as he moved his pawn to h5.

"NÁNDOR CAN HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS! HOW DARE YOU MOCK NÁNDOR!" Nándor roared as he moved his queen to f3.

"Really, than what am I thinking right now?" Okisato scowled as he captured the pawn at g4 with his h-pawn.

"You think of... MOCKING NÁNDOR!" Nándor declared as he captured the pawn at g4 with his h-pawn.

"Ugh, no reasoning with you," Okisato grumbled as he castled queen's side.

Nándor let loose an animalistic growl as he moved his pawn to g5, with Okisato doing his best to ignore his antics as he captured said pawn with his f-pawn. Nándor then began muttering an incantation in Hungarian, which Okisato was able to understand, as he captured the pawn at g5 with his bishop. And as soon as Okisato moved his bishop to e7, the spell was ready to be cast.

"ZAPPY ZAP ATTILA ATTACK!" Nándor proclaimed as lightning blasted down from the sky around Okisato as he captured the bishop at e7 with his bishop.

"Nice light show. You sure you've never met Diederich before?" Okisato asked as he moved his d-rook to g8.

"Nándor knows not who you speak of!" Nándor scoffed as he moved his bishop to f6.

"Forget it," Okisato sighed as he moved his rook to h3.

"That's what Nándor told you! Nándor only remembers glory, not trash," Nándor huffed as he moved his knight to d2.

"I think you just make take the cake for the craziest bastard I've ever encountered, and this is coming from someone with a chunni streak," Okisato glared as he captured the queen at f3 with his rook.

"Chew knee!? Nándor does not chew knees! Nándor drinks blood for rituals!" Nándor stated as he captured the rook at f3 with his knight.

"So are you part vampire, then?" Okisato groaned as he moved his bishop to h3.

"Nándor is WIZARD!" Nándor proclaimed, lightning shooting out of his eyes and mouth as he moved his knight to h4.

"OK, wizard. Check," Okisato growled as he captured the bishop at g2 with his rook.

"WHAT!? You dare attack Nándor!? Nándor will SIZZZLE YOU!" Nándor fumed as he moved his king to h1.

"Attack while you retreat? OK, now I can't keep quiet. That's just to hard NOT to laugh at!" Okisato laughed, letting his inner chuuni out as he captured the pawn at f2 with his rook.

"YOU LAUGH AT NÁNDOR! YOU WILL DIE! YOU MUST DIE!" Nándor roared, lightning blasting out of his fingertips as he moved his rook to e3.

"No, I'll check, and eventually checkmate you. There's no way I'd lose to a psycho nut like you now," Okisato snickered as he moved his queen to d5.

Nándor let loose a mighty roar, lightning bursting forth from him as he moved his rook to e4. Okisato wasn't intimidated by neither the light show nor the move, capturing the bishop at f6 with his rook without any worry whatsoever. Nándor in turn tried harder to intimidate him and turn things around by moving his rook to g1, but Okisato countered by moving his rook to f2, yet Nándor was relentlessly batshit crazy.

"CHECK! Belepisilek a véredbe, és a folyóba köpöm [I'll piss in your blood and spit it into the river]!" Nándor fumed as he moved his rook to g8.

"Finally defaulted to Hungarian, huh. You must really be pissed," Okisato chuckled as he moved his knight to d8.

"YOU MOCK NÁNDOR AGAIN!?" Nándor raged as he moved his rook to g3.

"Haven't I been doing that from the start? Oh wait, I forgot you couldn't remember shit like that," Okisato taunted as he moved his pawn to f5.

"NÁNDOR REMEMBERS ALL! NÁNDOR IS NOT SENILE!" Nándor shouted as he slammed his knight down on g6.

"Yeah, yeah, mate in 7," Okisato scoffed as he moved his queen to c5.

"NEVER! CHECK!" Nándor fumed as he slammed his knight down on e7.

"All that amounts to is stalling," Okisato mockingly shrugged as he captured said knight with his queen.

"Nándor will not relent!" Nándor roared as he moved his king to g1.

"'Relent'? More like you're relentlessly batshit crazy. Check," Okisato snickered as he moved his rook to f1.

"Nándor is not a bat!" Nándor fumed as he slammed his fist on the table and moved his king to h2.

"Azt mondtam, hogy könyörtelenül szar őrült vagy [I said you're relentlessly batshit insane]," Okisato stated as he captured the rook at e4 with his f-pawn.

"NÁNDOR NEM SZAR [NÁNDOR ISN'T SHIT]!" Nándor shouted as he violently captured the bishop at h3 with his rook, sending the piece hurdling off.

"The arbiters have to fetch all that you know," Okisato sighed as he moved his queen to f6.

"What's wrong, Nándor's power spook you!?" Nándor sneered as he moved his rook to h8.

"Why would I be scared of a half-dead wizard? Check," Okisato smirked as he moved his queen to f4.

"Nándor... NÁNDOR IS IMMORTAL WIZARD!" Nándor fumed as he moved his king to g2, lightning bursting forth from him.

"Then look forward to losing a bunch of matches during your immortality. Check," Okisato proudly smirked as he moved his queen to f3.

This time, Nándor went silent, a single bead of sweat running down his scowling face as he unceremoniously moved his king to h2.

"Seems you get it. Checkmate, batshit crazy BA-KA!" Okisato snickered as he moved his rook to h1, winning the game.

Nándor's eyes bulged with rage as he aimed his fingertips at his head and electrocuted himself for a few seconds before stopping. "Ah, Nándor feels better. Today, you are lucky. Nándor has decided to spare you his wrath, so go home and suck on guava to calm your nerves. But remember, Nándor is only giving you mercy today. Tomorrow, Nándor could choose to beat you, for Nándor never loses," he calmly stated.

"Oh, so you literally make yourself forget. Welp, your loss since failure is the best teacher," Okisato shrugged.

"Nándor is wizard. Wizard powers teach Nándor all!"

"Yeah sure. I can perform far greater feats."

"Like what?"

Simply deciding to mess with him, Okisato smirked and raised his hand into the air before snapping his fingers. What he did not expect was for Yuusuke to suddenly materialize a few feet in the air in the playing hall and drop to the ground, naked.

"Guh... Ugh... Ah! Maida-sensei! Are you-"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Yuusuke froze as he noticed everyone staring at him. "W- Where am I is this- AH! My clothes!"

Nándor stared at the spectacle with an unamused scowl. "Nándor wishes to forget that sight," he snarled as he attempted to erase what he just saw from his mind.

Okisato let out a heavy, but happy sigh. Looks like Casablanca got the edge on Skaberghast. This should hopefully fix Shousen-san," he thought.

And speaking of the man, Skaberghast had a rare scowl on his face as his DESPER deactivated and he shook hands with Casablanca. "Crafty shit. I'll remember this... But first, I need a damn nap," he thought.

And with that, Japan had not only secured a 3-1 victory over Hungary, but Okisato had also managed to get Yuusuke back into existence, thanks in no small part to recruiting Casablanca to his cause. Hagemi would reawaken shortly, but there was still a big matter to be settled; Kuon.
