Most of these comments criticized Kaga Tetsuo's behavior.
Indeed, Kaga Tetsuo's actions—first interrupting the game, then tearing up the joseki book, and then tripping Tsutsui Kimihiro—are certainly not easy to leave a good impression.
However, perhaps it was Kaga Tetsuo's inherent bad aura that prevented anyone from standing up to criticize him to his face.
Meanwhile, people are also waiting for Chen Anxia's reply.
Hikaru Shindo and Ryoko Kurozuki were also waiting for Chen Anxia's reply.
To be honest, Chen Anxia had no impression of Tsutsui Kimihiro.
Chen Anxia chose to play a mimicry game because he had a flash of inspiration while solving a life-and-death problem, and wanted to explore the possibilities in the early center by starting with the center point.
The imitation game was simply a matter of following the trend, allowing Chen Anxia to see the situation more clearly from an observer's perspective and better study the possibilities in the center.
When Chen Anxia feels it's the right time, he will change his tactics.
Chen Anxia hadn't expected that Kaga Tetsuo would suddenly appear as such a change of events.
Chen Anxia still had some impression of Kaga Tetsuo.
In fact, Chen Anxia did have some impression of Tsutsui Kimihiro and Kaga Tetsuo.
After all, Kaga Tetsuo was a major supporting character in the early stages of "Hikaru no Go".
Of course, it's only a vague impression.
This impression tells Chen Anxia that Kaga Tetsuo seems to have a good relationship with Tsutsui Kimihiro.
This explains why Kaga Tetsuo's words were full of anger.
Because Kaga Tetsuo wanted to stand up for Tsutsui Kimihiro.
At the same time, this impression also told Chen Anxia that Kaga Tetsuo's Go skills were not simple. Although he had not reached the professional level, he was definitely worthy of being ranked among the amateurs.
With this in mind, Chen Anxia made a decision.
Clearly, Chen Anxia would much rather play against someone stronger than himself than against someone weaker than him.
Chen Anxia was well aware of her situation and knew that only under pressure could she unleash greater energy.
Then, Chen Anxia said, "Okay, I'll play with you."
After hearing Chen Anxia's words, Kaga Tetsuo chuckled softly and then sat down opposite Chen Anxia.
During this process, Kaga Tetsuo spat out the chewing gum in his mouth and closed the paper fan in his hand.
After that, Kaga Tetsuo immediately began to tidy up the chessboard and handed the box containing the black pieces to Chen Anxia, saying, "I mean what I say. In this game, there's no need to guess who goes first; you play black and go first."
As he spoke, Kaga Tetsuo's posture became serious, and his originally arrogant eyes became sharp at this moment. Looking at Chen Anxia, he continued, "Kid, I know you have some skill in Go."
"But I'm not a newbie like Tsutsui. If you think you can beat me with imitation chess, you're sorely mistaken!"
While Kaga Tetsuo was speaking, Chen Anxia kept picking up a black stone and then placing it on the center position without hesitation.
Kaga Tetsuo was taken aback upon seeing this.
Kaga Tetsuo originally wanted to use his harsh words to make Chen Anxia give up his plan to play imitation chess, so that Chen Anxia could use his true chess skills.
Unexpectedly, Chen Anxia completely ignored his harsh words and still placed his first piece on the center.
After realizing what was happening, Kaga Tetsuo's lips curled into a grin, a laugh born of extreme anger.
Kaga Tetsuo stopped talking and decided to use Go to teach Chen Anxia, this disobedient brat, a lesson.
Kaga Tetsuo reached out and pinched the Go stone, then slammed the white stone onto the board. Without moving the stone, he pushed it to the bottom right corner, the closest point to Chen Anxia.
During this process, Kaga Tetsuo suddenly exuded a solid yet unreal aura, as if he had transformed into a wild beast. He pounced on Chen Anxia with the white piece, wanting to devour Chen Anxia's flesh and blood.
Most of the people watching the game were not even amateurs.
Therefore, although they felt a strange chill coming on, they didn't know why.
Of those present, only Fujiwara Sai, Kurozuki Ryoko, and Tsutsui Kimihiro noticed something amiss.
Among them, Tsutsui Kimihiro, who was originally furious, had quietly lost his anger at this moment.
Kimihiro Tsutsui, who knew Tetsuo Kaga very well, knew that Tetsuo Kaga had become truly serious.
In Tsutsui Kimihiro's view, Kaga Tetsuo, when he gets serious, can probably only be suppressed by a player of Touya Akira's level or higher.
Ryoko Kurozuki's expression unconsciously turned serious.
Ryoko Kurozuki never imagined that in this seemingly ordinary Yase Junior High School, there would be a Go player who had already embarked on the path of Go and begun to gather his own momentum.
It's important to know that Ryoko Kurozuki herself was also at this stage, constantly building up her own momentum.
Then, Ryoko Kurozuki glanced at Tetsuo Kaga's shogi club captain's uniform, her brow furrowing slightly as she murmured, "But what's with his clothes? Is he distracted by playing shogi?"
As for Fujiwara no Sai, his face showed a look of relief and anticipation.
To my delight, I encountered another young man here who had embarked on the path of Go and was beginning to build his own momentum.
What she was looking forward to was how Chen Anxia would respond to Kaga Tetsuo's imposing manner, and what kind of surprise Chen Anxia would bring her.
In his heart, Fujiwara Sai longed, "Come, boy named Chen Anxia, answer my expectations and show me your Go skills!"
It seems to be a response to Kaga Tetsuo's imposing manner, and also a response to Fujiwara Sai's expectations.
Chen Anxia slowly reached out and pinched the chess piece, and as he did so, his gaze sharpened.
At the same time, a solid yet intangible aura suddenly emanated from Chen Anxia...
......
Chapter 50 Sai's Shock, the Brilliant Move of Go Theory!
The aura emanating from Chen Anxia also transformed into a wild beast, tearing and biting together with the wild beast formed from Kaga Tetsuo's aura.
Kaga Tetsuo naturally sensed the aura emanating from Chen Anxia, his gaze suddenly sharpening as he muttered, "This brat..."
Then, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Kaga Tetsuo's face.
That smile is the smile of someone who has met their match.
This smile is the smile of someone whose heart is filled with passionate excitement.
This smile was also the smile that Kaga Tetsuo had subconsciously longed for and yearned for.
Kaga Tetsuo vaguely remembered that the last time he showed this smile was years ago when he played Go against Toya Akira.
Kaga Tetsuo will never forget the despair he felt from Akira Touya's skill in that game of Go.
At the same time, it was that game that made Kaga Tetsuo realize how insignificant effort is in the face of talent in Go.
This caused Kaga Tetsuo, who originally loved Go, to begin to hate, or even despise, Go, and instead devote himself to Shogi.
In fact, Kaga Tetsuo's talent in Go is one in a hundred, and he would be considered outstanding even if placed in the Japanese Go Association.
Unfortunately, he encountered Akira Touya, whose talent was even more terrifying.
Of course, Tetsuo Kaga himself was not aware of this.
Kaga Tetsuo believed that his loss to Touya Akira, who was younger than him, was due to his own lack of talent.
At this moment, stimulated by Chen Anxia's imposing aura, Kaga Tetsuo's fighting spirit surged.
Without the slightest hesitation, Kaga Tetsuo, playing white, made a smooth and fluid move, placing his piece directly on the board.
On the other side, when Chen Anxia unleashed his aura, in addition to Kaga Tetsuo, Kurozuki Ryoko and Fujiwara Sai also felt the aura that belonged to Chen Anxia.
Ryoko Kurozuki was quite surprised by this, never expecting to encounter two players who had embarked on the path of Go and were gathering their own momentum.
Most importantly, both of these chess players are around the same age as me.
But soon, Ryoko Kurozuki remembered that this was the world of the game "Hikaru no Go".
In this world, even the most illogical things can become reasonable.
After all, this is just a game world, not the real world.
However, despite her thoughts, Ryoko Kurozuki couldn't help but become interested in the game of Go before her.
Ryoko Kurozuki wanted to see what kind of exciting game Chen Anxia and Kaga Tetsuo, these two players who had embarked on the path of Go and gathered their own momentum, would play.
Unlike Ryoko Kurozuki, Sai Fujiwara showed shock and disbelief on his face after sensing Chen Anxia's aura.
Fujiwara Sai remembers that about a week ago, when he met Chen Anxia in Shirakawa Michio's Go classroom, Chen Anxia was still a novice who had just started playing Go.
If Chen Anxia wasn't faking it back then, wouldn't that mean that Chen Anxia embarked on the path of chess and even began to build up his own momentum within just one week?
This talent...this talent...
Thinking about it, Fujiwara Sai couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia.
At this moment, in Fujiwara Sai's eyes, Chen Anxia seemed to have transformed into the cub of an unparalleled ferocious beast, greedily devouring the principles of Go and growing at an unimaginable speed.
Seemingly sensing Fujiwara Sai's gaze, the cub of the peerless ferocious beast suddenly looked at Fujiwara Sai and let out a roar that, though immature, already exuded an aura of dominance.
The roar sent chills down Fujiwara no Sai's spine, making him tremble and mutter involuntarily, "Monster, Go monster..."
Hikaru Shindo heard Fujiwara Sai's murmur, but couldn't make out what he was saying. He couldn't help but ask himself, "Sai, what are you saying?"
Fujiwara Sai was too shocked to hear what Shindo Hikaru said.
At the same time, Fujiwara Sai also felt the passion that had been dormant for many years gradually reviving.
This renewed passion constantly tells Fujiwara Sai his inner desires and urgency.
Fujiwara Sai is now eager to have a final battle with the fully grown Chen Anxia.
Fujiwara Sai had a feeling that perhaps the answer to the 'divine move' he had been searching for would be found in that battle.
With his eyes slightly closed, Fujiwara Sai tried to calm his turbulent emotions.
A moment later, Fujiwara no Sai opened his eyes again, exclaiming, "It's wonderful to be able to revive in this era..."
As he spoke, Fujiwara Sai looked at Hikaru Shindo, the boy who had brought him back to life, and sincerely said, "Hikaru, thank you..."
This time, Hikaru Shindo heard Fujiwara Sai's words clearly.
However, Hikaru Shindo did not understand why Sai Fujiwara was saying these things.
Hikaru Shindo, filled with doubt, silently asked Fujiwara Sai.
Upon hearing Hikaru Shindo's question, Fujiwara Sai smiled slightly but didn't answer. Instead, he turned his gaze to the game and said, "Hikaru, take a good look at this game. Perhaps you'll gain something from it..."
