It's important to know that the National Children's Go Championship is held annually.
Last year, Asumi Nase also came to help.
However, although the champions, runners-up, and third-place winners of last year's National Children's Go Tournament are stronger than their peers, they are still far from embarking on the path of Go and cultivating their own Go spirit.
Not only last year, but Naze Asumi has also never heard of anyone stepping onto the path of Go and cultivating their own Go spirit in any previous National Children's Go Tournament.
Because those of this skill level are basically already students in the academy, and cannot and will not participate in competitions of the level of the National Children's Go Tournament.
As Shigeharu felt the clash of Go auras between Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki, the blood in his body began to surge and boil involuntarily.
Immediately, She Qingchun's lips curled up slightly, and he said excitedly, "Although I don't know what you're fighting over, let me join this struggle."
As they spoke, the youthful spirit of Go that belonged to the club suddenly burst forth, forming a three-way balance with the Go spirit of Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki.
Upon seeing this, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki couldn't help but look at Kiyoharu Yamamoto, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Although neither Shinsuke Ichiyanagi nor Yuko Miki spoke, it was clear that they had acknowledged Kiyoharu Shiba as a rival.
Asumi Nase, whose thoughts were already in disarray, felt another surge of Go-do energy erupting from her, and muttered in a state of near collapse, "Again!?"
Just then, Fukui Yuta's squinty eyes widened.
Although Fukui Yuta still wore a憨厚 smile on his face, there was an uncontrollable excitement in that smile as he said, "Fukui is going to join this fight too!"
As they spoke, a chess-playing aura also emanated from Afu, creating a four-way division of the chess world with the auras of Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Yuko Miki, and Kiyoharu Sha.
At this moment, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Yuko Miki, Kiyoharu Sha, and Yuta Fukui stood at the four corners, their eyes meeting and sensing each other's fighting spirit and determination, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Upon seeing this, Asumi Nase felt a bit like a muggle and didn't know how to react.
However, Asumi Nase already knew that this year's National Children's Go Tournament would be more exciting than ever before.
On the side, Hikaru Shindo, having not yet embarked on the path of Go and had not yet cultivated his own Go aura, could not clearly sense the Go aura belonging to Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Yuko Miki, Kiyoharu Sha, and Yuta Fukui.
However, Hikaru Shindo sensed a change in the atmosphere around him.
In a daze, Hikaru Shindo seemed to see thick, dense dark clouds gathering above the four people, spreading a heavy, oppressive, and murderous atmosphere, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a great battle.
At the same time, Hikaru Shindo felt the blood in his body begin to burn and boil uncontrollably.
At this moment, Hikaru Shindo desperately wanted to join this struggle.
But Hikaru Shindo knew that he wasn't qualified to join them yet.
This fact made Hikaru Shindo feel somewhat disappointed, and at the same time, his desire to become stronger became stronger than ever before.
Behind Hikaru Shindo, Sai Fujiwara looked at the four people who were exuding the spirit of Go, and it was as if he saw four rising stars in the world of Go.
A look of satisfaction, emotion, and admiration shone on Fujiwara Sai's face.
Fujiwara Sai's eyes, without him even realizing it, began to well up with tears.
Because Fujiwara Sai saw that the Go game he loved from the bottom of his heart was being passed down and further developed in these children.
It wasn't just Hikaru Shindo who sensed the change in the atmosphere around him.
The pedestrians walking around also sensed the change in atmosphere.
However, most of them were unaware of what had happened, simply dismissing it as their own imagination and going about their own business without giving it much thought.
Not far away, Shintaro Ichiyanagi, disguised, saw this scene and felt the Go spirit emanating from the four children. He couldn't help but smile slightly and whispered, "Sha, you should thank me properly."
"If it weren't for me, Qingchun would have missed this competition."
Beside him, a man named Kenjiro Yamato, dressed in a suit, with half-gray hair and looking very energetic, couldn't help but smile and say, "Ah, let's go have a good drink tonight, it's on me."
On the other side, Yoshitaka Wagaya, being not far away, also felt the surging momentum of the Go style.
Although Yoshitaka Waya was very curious, the constant stream of people coming to ask him questions made it impossible for him to leave. He could only suppress his curiosity and do his job conscientiously.
After seeing off another contestant, before he and Gu Yigao could even rest, they heard a gentle voice say, "Hello, could you help me see which table I'm competing at?"
When Yoshitaka Wagaya heard this, he looked up and saw a handsome little boy with delicate features looking at him with a gentle smile.
At first glance, Yoshitaka Wagaya felt an instant connection with the little boy in front of him.
But Yoshitaka Kazuya never imagined that the little boy in front of him was the one he had been longing for... GG!
......
Chapter 100 Warning: Beware of Number 1010
Yoshitaka Wagaya glanced at Chen Anxia's number plate, then flipped through the guidebook and quickly found the corresponding number, saying, "You are number 129. The first round of the competition will be held at table number 183."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
With that, Chen Anxia turned and left to find the location of chess table number 183.
Upon seeing this, Yoshitaka Waya murmured, "How can the difference between people be so great? This child is so much better than that problem child number 628 from before."
As he spoke, Yoshitaka Wagaya seemed to have thought of something and looked again toward the place where the aura of Go had come from.
At this moment, in Yoshitaka Wagaya's perception, the four bursts of Go-do energy had already dissipated.
Seeing this, Yoshitaka Wagaya gave up the idea of going over to investigate, muttering to himself, "That looks like where Asumi is. I'll go ask her what happened after I finish work..."
On the other hand, after receiving Hikaru Shindo's reply that he also didn't know where Chen Anxia was, Yuko Miki and Shinsuke Ichiyanagi didn't linger and planned to leave, wanting to see if they could find Chen Anxia in the crowd.
Before leaving, Yuko Miki seemed to remember something and said to Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, "By the way, Ichiyanagi, be careful of that nasty little fox brat from earlier."
Shinsuke Ichiyanagi was taken aback by her words, then looked at Yuko Miki with some surprise and asked, "Are you alright? Why are you worried about me?"
Seeing this, Yuko Miki rolled her eyes and snorted, "That's right, I'm worried about you. I'm worried that you'll be defeated by that little fox before you can be defeated by me."
With that, Yuko Miki ignored Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, turned and left, leaving behind the words, "Anyway, be careful, that little fox is no ordinary person..."
As Shinsuke Ichiyanagi watched Yuko Miki's departing figure, his brows furrowed and his expression became serious.
Although they didn't meet often, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi knew that Yuko Miki was a very confident and proud person.
That little foxy brat who can get Yuko Miki to pay attention to him seems to have some issues...
Just then, Shigeharu walked over, gently patted Shinsuke Ichiyanagi on the shoulder, and teased, "Ichiyanagi, do you want to stay single forever if you talk to girls like that?"
Upon hearing this, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi glanced at Kiyoharu Shirahara and said casually, "All I need is Go. Girls, is Go more fun?"
Shigeharu was stunned by this, completely unexpected that Shinsuke Ichiyanagi would answer like this, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
While Shigeharu was still in a daze, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi said, "If you encounter that fox brat with the serial number 1010, you'd better be careful."
"Since Miki said that, he must be someone special. We shouldn't be caught off guard..."
With that, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi disappeared into the crowd in no time.
It was only then that Shigeharu came to his senses. Looking in the direction where Shinsuke Ichiyanagi had left, his brows furrowed, he murmured softly, "Ichiyanagi, how could you have changed so much?"
"What exactly happened in the past few years?"
Not far away, Kenjiro Yamato asked Shintaro Ichiyanagi the same question.
Upon hearing this, Shintaro Ichiyanagi's expression turned bitter. He sighed and said, "This is my fault. I'll tell you everything when we're drinking tonight."
Seeing this, Kenjiro Shizuka nodded slightly, various thoughts flashing through his mind, and said no more about the matter.
Then, Kenjiro asked with some curiosity, "Do you know anything about the contestant with serial number 1010?"
Upon hearing this, Shintaro Ichiyanagi frowned slightly and replied, "Because it's a bit far away, I'm not entirely sure what happened."
"However, it seems that the contestant with serial number 1010 solved a life-and-death puzzle that even professional players would need to think about."
Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Shibazuka's eyes narrowed slightly before he said, "This year's National Children's Go Tournament is getting more and more interesting."
"The emergence of one genius after another is bound to make the competition incredibly exciting..."
As he spoke, Kenjiro Yamato paused for a moment, then looked at Shintaro Ichiyanagi and continued, "However, I'm still more looking forward to the child you mentioned."
Shintaro Ichiyanagi naturally knew who Kenjiro Yamazuka was talking about, and couldn't help but smile slightly and say, "I believe that if he really appears, he will definitely not disappoint you."
"He holds the future of Go..."
Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Yamato's expression became slightly dazed, and he murmured softly, "The... future of Go?"
On the other side, after Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Yuko Miki, and Kiyoharu Sha had all left, Hikaru Shindo and Yuta Fukui also departed one after another.
However, they all remembered the fox imp with serial number 1010 and kept themselves in a state of vigilance.
Fujiwara no Sai, following behind Hikaru Shindo, also narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured softly, "What kind of Go player could they possibly be so wary of?"
Only after they all left did Asumi Naze finally come to her senses.
Asumi Naze, who had returned to her seat, looked at the life and death of the stones on the board in front of her, but no longer had the mind to study them. Her expression was complicated, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
At the same time, a staff member knocked on Ogata Seiji's office door and said to him, "Ogata-sensei, everything is ready. Shall we go and inspect the site?"
Wearing a sharp white suit and wire-rimmed glasses, tall and handsome Ogata Seiji stubbed out his lit cigarette and nodded, replying, "Then let's go check it out."
With that, Ogata Seiji followed behind the staff to inspect the site.
After inspecting the area, Ogata Seiji announced, "You can start the broadcast now. The match will officially begin in fifteen minutes."
The staff member nodded upon hearing this and turned to make the arrangements.
Ogata Seiji's craving for cigarettes returned, and he wanted to find a suitable place to smoke.
As he walked toward a corner, Ogata Seiji heard a startled exclamation.
"What? Among the participants this time, four people have gathered their own Go aura?"
"Hey, hey, hey, really? Asumi, this isn't a joke, you're not kidding me!"
"Of course it's true. What good would it be for me to lie to you?"
"Honestly, if I'd known you'd react like this, I wouldn't have told you..."
Immediately afterward, Ogata Seiji saw Nase Asumi walk out from the corner with an angry look on her face.
Naze Asumi then saw Ogata Seiji and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Ogata-sensei, what brings you here at this time!?"
......
Chapter 101 The Flow of Time, the Manifestation of Power! (Please vote!)
Ogata Seiji silently put away the cigarette he had just drawn, looked at Nase Asumi and asked, "I remember you're a student at the Go Academy, right? Can you tell me what you were talking about?"
