Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Because Kajimoto Takahisa didn't want to disappoint Hanamura Aoi.

Taking a deep breath, Kajimoto Takahisa returned to the receiving area, silently preparing to receive the ball, waiting for Chen Anxia's serve.

This time, however, Takahisa Kajimoto discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't enter a state of complete concentration.

Kajimoto Takahisa knew that his heart was already in turmoil, and that turmoil was impossible to quell when facing Chen Anxia, ​​the source of it all.

This fact weighed heavily on Takahisa Kajimoto's heart.

Kajimoto Takahisa didn't know if he, unable to enter a state of complete concentration, could catch Chen Anxia's bullet serve.

Unlike Kajimoto Takahisa, Chen Anxia voluntarily withdrew from the state of complete concentration at this time.

The reason for this is that Chen Anxia felt that in a state of complete concentration, the rate at which his mental energy was depleted was far greater than normal.

Of course, this is understandable.

After exiting a state of complete concentration, Chen Anxia began preparing to serve.

Through the recent stalemate and by using the behavioral pattern data model of Kajimoto Takahisa in his mind, Chen Anxia has figured out Kajimoto Takahisa's strength.

Under normal circumstances, Kajimoto Takahisa indeed only possesses Kanto-level strength.

However, with full concentration and muscle control, Takahisa Kajimoto already possesses the strength to enter the preliminary national level.

However, this level of strength was still insufficient for Chen Anxia.

This also made Chen Anxia lose the desire to continue her relationship with Kajimoto Takahisa.

Chen Anxia had already decided to end the match with Kajimoto Takahisa as quickly as possible.

Just as Chen Anxia reached out and caught the bouncing tennis ball, preparing to toss it up, Huacun Aoi, sitting in the referee's chair, suddenly spoke up, "Alright, this match is over. Kajimoto, you can leave now."

Kajimoto Takahisa obeyed Hanamura Aoi's orders unconditionally.

Therefore, Kajimoto Takahisa walked directly to the sidelines without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, Chen Anxia stopped preparing to serve and looked at Huacun Kui.

At this moment, Chen Anxia's calm and deep eyes, like the ocean, brought immense pressure to Huacun Kui.

Taking a deep breath, Huacun Kui tried her best to suppress her emotions and remain as calm as possible. She looked at Chen Anxia with a smile and said, "Although you won this match, you should have gained something from it."

Chen Anxia remained calm and nodded slightly in response, saying, "Indeed, I have gained something."

On the sidelines, even Kajimoto Takahisa himself, one of the starting players for Shonan Junkai, had no idea what Chen Anxia and Hanamura Aoi were talking about in terms of what they had gained.

Chen Anxia and Huacun Kui did not intend to let them know.

Chen Anxia, ​​of course, knows that the fewer people who know about his abilities, the better.

As for Huacun Kui, she was afraid that after they learned about this gain, they would be greatly shocked and begin to doubt themselves, and would not have the courage to face Chen Anxia again.

After receiving Chen Anxia's reply, Huacun Kui couldn't help but continue, "Then you should be interested in my training theories and methods, right?"

Before Chen Anxia could speak, Huacun Kui continued, "I can help you create a training plan tailored just for you, and I can also give you free access to the training facilities at Chengcheng Shonan, which are far more advanced than those at Seigaku. But I have one request..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia did not immediately agree, but instead asked with a questioning expression, "What are your requirements?"

Upon hearing this, Hanamura Aoi also spoke up without hesitation, "If Seigaku and Josei Shonan meet in the Kanto Tournament, you cannot play as a player in the match."

Chen Anxia was somewhat surprised after hearing Huacun Kui's request.

Chen Anxia originally thought that Huacun Kui would make a request for him to join Chengcheng Xiangnan, but he did not expect this request.

Without hesitation, Chen Anxia replied, "I can grant your request."

The reason Chen Anxia agreed so readily was that, in his view, even if he didn't play, Seigaku would still be able to defeat Josei Shonan.

On the sidelines, none of the regular players from Shonan Jōsei had expected Aoi Hanamura to make such a decision.

But when they thought of Chen Anxia's strength, they all fell silent.

There is only one exception.

This person is Reiji Kamishiro.

At this moment, Reiji Kamishiro stepped forward and said, "I do not agree with this decision unless he can defeat me."

These words drew everyone's attention to Reiji Kamishiro, including Anxia Chen and Aoi Hanamura.

Just as Hanamura Aoi was about to say something, Chen Anxia looked at Kamishiro Reiji and said, "I heard you are Coach Hanamura's most prized creation. How about a match with me?"

.......

Chen Anxia had already left Shonan City, but on Court No. 1, Reiji Kamishiro was still kneeling on all fours, his expression full of fear, panting heavily as if he had just encountered something extremely terrifying.

In Reiji Kamishiro's mind, Chen Anxia's figure, both godlike and demonic, was indelible.

On the sidelines, the other regular players of Shonan Roset remained silent, though a hint of fear lingered in their expressions.

As for Hanamura Aoi, upon seeing Kamishiro Reiji's appearance, she couldn't help but sigh softly, muttering, "Reiji, you're strong, but the opponent you chose this time is an absolute monster..."

......

Chapter 302 Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament: A shutout start!

The next day, Qing Xue.

During a break between classes, Chen Anxia found Tezuka Kunimitsu and told him about her promise to Hanamura Aoi.

After learning of this agreement, Tezuka Kunimitsu showed no change in expression on his calm face, simply nodding slightly and replying, "I understand."

As he spoke, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at Chen Anxia and said seriously, "From now on, you can arrange your club activities as you see fit, but you must be present during the competitions."

Chen Anxia naturally agreed to Tezuka Kunimitsu's request.

Time passed, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament arrived as scheduled.

"The Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament has a large number of participating teams, all of whom are high schools that have passed the preliminary rounds in their respective districts."

"Therefore, before the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament begins, a draw will be held to divide the participating teams into two groups."

"These two parts will each form two lines and the competition will proceed simultaneously."

"Naturally, the winners of these two tracks will advance to the Kanto Tournament."

"In addition, the winners of the losers' bracket revival match can also advance to the Kanto Tournament."

"Based on the intelligence I've gathered, judging from the current list of schools Seigaku faces, the schools that could be considered strong rivals for Seigaku are St. Rudolph, Ginka Middle School, and Yamabuki Middle School..."

......

In the area where Seigaku players gather, Satoshi Horio, who has two years of tennis experience, is talking animatedly.

The freshmen standing to the side, including Katsuro Kato, Katsuo Mizuno, Sakuno Ryuzaki, and Tomoka Kosakada, listened with expressions of sudden realization.

Many of the freshmen looked at Horio Satoshi with admiration, wondering why, as fellow first-year students, Horio Satoshi knew so much.

It's like not understanding why Chen Anxia, ​​who is just a first-year student like them, is so excessively strong.

As Horio Satoshi spoke eloquently, the regular members of Seigaku arrived one after another.

Every time a regular member of Seigaku arrives, it inevitably elicits soft cheers and shouts of approval.

Time passed slowly, and all the regular members of Seigaku except Chen Anxia had arrived, but Chen Anxia was nowhere to be seen.

This situation not only made the ordinary club members who came to watch the game and act as cheerleaders anxious, but also made the regular members of Seigaku anxious.

They had no idea what had happened to Chen Anxia, ​​nor why Chen Anxia hadn't arrived yet.

The check-in time for the Tokyo tournament is fast approaching, and if Chen Anxia doesn't arrive before the check-in deadline, Seigaku will automatically forfeit the tournament due to incomplete membership.

This means that Seigaku will miss the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament, which is about to begin, and will also miss the upcoming Kanto Tournament and the National Tournament.

Inevitably, the area where Seigaku gathered began to stir.

"Why hasn't Anxia arrived yet?"

"If anyone has An Xia's contact information, please give him a call right away."

"Could Anxia have overslept?"

"If all else fails, Qianxian will have to step in."

"Speaking of which, it's been so long since I've seen King? He's never seen during club activities either."

"Could it be that King has left the company?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I heard from a rumor that King seems to be in seclusion in a secret place."

"Really? King is already that strong, why does he need to go into seclusion to cultivate?"

"If that's true, how strong do you think King would be after returning from his secluded training?"

......

It was amidst this commotion that Chen Anxia finally arrived.

The regular members of Seigaku didn't care why Chen Anxia arrived so late; they simply dragged Chen Anxia to the registration area to sign in.

After signing in, Kikumaru Eiji couldn't help but ask, "Anxia, ​​why are you so late? Did you oversleep?"

Upon hearing Kikumaru Eiji's words, the other regular team members all turned their gazes toward Chen Anxia, ​​their eyes revealing curiosity.

In response, Chen Anxia said calmly, "I actually arrived a long time ago, but when I saw that none of you had come, I found a place to warm up and play ball first."

"I just didn't expect to meet such an interesting person."

"After that, I had a match with that person, which is why I was late."

Upon hearing Chen Anxia's comment that he was "interesting," Momoshiro Takeshi couldn't help but ask with a face full of curiosity, "Who is that person? Is he very strong?"

The same was true for the others. Through their time together, they had come to know Chen Anxia and realized that someone who was rated as 'interesting' by Chen Anxia must have something unique about them.

I wonder if the person Chen Anxia described as 'interesting' also participated in this Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament.

Amid everyone's curiosity, Chen Anxia replied, "I don't know him, but he's wearing Hyotei's school uniform, so he must be one of Hyotei's."

"As for strength, it should be pretty good."

Shuichiro Oishi paused for a moment upon hearing this, a look of confusion flashing across his face, and subconsciously uttered, "Should?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia explained, "When he competed against me, he held back and didn't use his full strength, so I didn't know his true strength."

"It can only be said that the strength he displayed was not bad."
