Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

Sai withdrew his gaze and looked at Hikaru Shindo, his eyes filled with inquiry.

"Xiao Guang, do you know? The closer you get to this boy, the farther away you feel from him."

"The more you understand Go, the more you will feel how terrifying this young man is."

"And when will I be able to fight him with all my might again?"

"Will Xiaoguang be unable to hold on this time and ask me to step in?"

Seeing Hikaru Shindo's determined gaze, Su Ran smiled, gently turned her head away, and stopped looking at Hikaru Shindo.

"Hikaru Shindo is also constantly growing..."

"This feeling of being constantly pursued makes me feel a sense of urgency and a desire to continuously improve myself."

"See you at the match, Hikaru Shindo."

"Was it you who made the move, or Sai?"

Su Ran was somewhat curious. He knew that, putting Sai aside, Hikaru Shindo's potential was enough to warrant his attention.

Frankly speaking, Hikaru Shindo has far more potential than Akira Toya.

Moreover, Hikaru Shindo has the same unwavering will and courage as Akira Touya!

From the very beginning, people were observing Hikaru Shindo and Su Ran. When they saw them make eye contact, they excitedly whispered among themselves.

"The two of them are staring at each other!"

"I see, so they really are destined rivals?"

"It feels like a duel between unparalleled masters in a novel."

"I can't wait! They'll definitely meet in the finals and have a showdown, right?"

"I've already said it's a team competition; one person being strong isn't enough. Even someone as strong as Touya Meijin has fallen short in team competitions before, hasn't he?"

"That's true..."

"Besides, didn't Neptune Middle School have that genius join them?"

"Hopefully they'll meet soon!"

Ignoring the chatter of the crowd, Hikaru Shindo walked to the seating area of ​​Yase Middle School with Tsutsui and sat down.

Tsutsui looked at Hikaru Shindo with some concern: "Shindo... are you alright?"

"fine!"

Hikaru Shindo grinned, "I'm going to show that guy what I'm made of!"

Tsutsui sighed, pushed up his glasses, and thought to himself, "Hikaru's luck..."

During this period, Hikaru Shindo played Go with Tsutsui, and Hikaru Shindo almost never won.

So no matter how hard Tsutsui tried to come up with a brilliant idea, he could only attribute Hikaru Shindo's few brilliant games to luck.

After all, Tsutsui couldn't possibly have guessed Sai's existence.

Seeing that they still had some free time, Hikaru Shindo and Tsutsui started playing Go.

As Hikaru Shindo was walking, he suddenly sighed and said, "I wonder if Mitani will come..."

That's right.

Just as in the original timeline, Hikaru Shindo successfully met Teruyu Mitani at an internet cafe during those two months.

Under Hikaru Shindo's "persuasion," he successfully recruited Mitani into the Go club.

With such a powerful general in hand, Tsutsui voluntarily stepped down, handing over the commanding position to Mitani.

However, Mitani has yet to arrive, and Hikaru Shindo is starting to worry.

Upon hearing Mitani's name, Tsutsui remained silent and continued playing the game.

After a while, a brown-haired boy wearing a white shirt walked in through the door.

When Hikaru Shindo saw the boy, his eyes lit up. He waved and called out with a smile, "Mitani!"

When Mitani heard Hikaru Shindo calling out, he turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards Hikaru Shindo.

"That's great! I thought you were too scared to come!"

Hikaru Shindo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Mitani.

Kaga Tetsuo did not participate in this competition; his shogi teacher forced him to go back and play shogi with his fists.

"Scared? Are you kidding me?"

Mitani's tone was icy, giving off an air of unapproachability.

At that moment, another black stone fell from the silent Tsutsui.

“It’s pointless for that black piece to escape,” Mitani said coldly. “Besides, once it escapes, another group of black pieces will be eaten.”

Tsutsui stared at the Go board, stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up!"

Hikaru Shindo was startled: "Tsutsui..."

Hikaru Shindo understood that the reason Tsutsui disliked Mitani was because Mitani had cheated by moving pieces during yesterday's trial match.

A moment later, Hikaru Shindo turned to look at Mitani: "Mitani, you're so strong, why did you have to cheat?"

Mitani did not answer.

A moment later, Tsutsui gritted his teeth, stood up, and left the competition venue, no longer wanting to continue playing.

Hikaru Shindo looked somewhat dejected and turned to Mitani: "Mitani, shall we go down together?"

"no."

Mitani turned away indifferently.

"Really..."

Seeing that the two had left for the time being, Hikaru Shindo lay listlessly on the table, staring at the match schedule.

"The draw results are in. The first round will be against Ayu Middle School, and the second round will be against Kaio Middle School."

Hikaru Shindo rolled up his sleeves, full of confidence: "Alright, let's take out the three generals of Ayu Middle School as quickly as possible, then take out the three generals of Kaiou Middle School, and finally meet that guy Su Ran in the finals!"

"Is it that easy, Hikaru?"

Sai leaned down gently, looking in Su Ran's direction, and whispered in Hikaru Shindo's ear.

Hikaru Shindo was stunned.

"We don't even know who our opponent is yet," Sai said softly. "Besides, they'll be going all out too."

"Don't say discouraging things, Sai."

Hikaru Shindo laughed and said, "I've improved a lot!"

His Go skills have improved dramatically during this period, which has given Hikaru Shindo a lot of confidence.

"I wonder who the three generals of Ayu Middle School and the three generals of Kaiou Middle School are?"

Hikaru Shindo couldn't help but murmur to himself.

"it's me!"

At some point, Akira Touya stood in front of Hikaru Shindo's desk, looking in Su Ran's direction.

He seemed to be speaking to Hikaru Shindo, and also to Su Ran.

"I am one of Aquaman's three generals!"

Akira Touya's words were powerful and resonant!

……

Chapter 107 What does Go mean to him?

"Taya..."

Hikaru Shindo slowly stood up, somewhat shocked, and said, "Why... are you here too?"

Akira Touya remained silent.

But his appearance instantly sparked a heated discussion among the audience!

"Hey, isn't that Akira Touya?"

"He really came? I didn't expect that someone with his skill level would actually participate in this kind of middle school Go league."

"I once saw his profile in a Go magazine, which described him as a rising star in Go and a hope for the future."

"What's someone this powerful doing here?"

"Isn't he a graduate student? Graduate students aren't allowed to participate in amateur competitions, right?"

"No... he's not a student yet."

"He should be stronger than both Yase Sanshou and Kawao Sanshou, right?"

"Probably... Although they are all very strong... But Akira Touya is the son of a famous person."

Teacher Yin glanced at the students who had just been discussing and shook her head slightly.

"They're taking it too seriously. Akira Touya is Akira Touya, and it has nothing to do with his father being a celebrity."

Teacher Yin recalled the argument he had with Touya Akira before the competition.

"Why won't you let me be the third general?"

Akira Touya patted his chest in disbelief and said, "You said yourself that only I am a match for Shindo and Su Ran!"

"I did say that, but the strongest person should be the captain, especially since Neptune Middle School is a role model for other middle schools."

"I...I only did this so I could play against them..."

"As a teacher, I can only follow the rules."

"Once I finish this competition, I will quit the Go club!"

It's hard to imagine that the usually polite Akira Touya would roar at himself like an enraged lion, tears welling in his eyes.
