[Zhongli's chuckle deepens, appreciating the vivacity and playfulness that Ajax brings to their match. He observes Ajax's reaction with keen interest, noting the subtle blend of surprise and admiration as Zhongli willingly sacrifices his bishop.]

Sometimes, one must be willing to make sacrifices to achieve greater gains. [He's not revealing more than necessary about his strategy. Zhongli moves a pawn, the piece advancing as part of a larger strategy, and then he regards his opponent with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.] I assure you, I am not going easy on you. In fact, your audacity on the board has inspired me to push the limits of our game.

[Ajax's playful accusations and his attempt to peg Zhongli with another occupation—a "Professor" this time—have him cast his eyes low somewhat bashfully. He's not entirely used to this attention, this prodding, and yet he is delighted by his spirited guesses.] As for the title of 'Professor,' it's a creative one, but not quite accurate. [With a sly twinkle in his eye, Zhongli clasps his gloved hands and leans his chin on them.]

Should I also make my own guesses as to what you do?
