A group of high school students wearing Sakuradao school uniforms happened to pass by. When he heard Katsuhiko Shirakawa's words, he couldn't help but retort.

The leading boy said, "How many years have you Kamakura not made it out of the group stage?

This year, I was in the same group with our Sakuradao, and I was still thinking about defeating us? Stop dreaming!

I think you should go back as soon as possible. Anyway, it will be a waste of time to continue!

Group B has us, Sakuradao. Is there any suspense in the top title of the group?"

As he said that, he glanced at the four of them and then focused his eyes on Katsuhiko Shirakawa:

"With your Kamakura's strength, it may be very difficult even if you compete for the second place in the group!"

Everyone laughed wildly.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko pushed away his girlfriend's block and walked to the boy:

"I'm waiting to see it, this year's top group will definitely be our Kamakura!

And you probably don’t know that when we Kamakura dominated the Osaka Prefecture High School Go League, you were all kindergarten kids!”

In an instant, everyone became turbulent.

"Who are you calling the kindergarten kid?"

"The guy from Kamakura, this is Sakurado High School, how can you be so arrogant!"

"Like the down-and-out samurai after Meiji, it's really useless. I can only brag here by catching the honor of my senior!"

...

"What are you quarreling here!"

At this time, a man in his thirties came over, followed by three boys from Sakuradao High School.

"Miyono teacher!"

The boys who were still clamoring just now immediately curled their voices and greeted respectfully.

"Are you okay to do it? Go to the venue to maintain order!"

The man called "Miyono" was quite majestic. With a command, more than a dozen people immediately ran towards the venue.

Then, the four people ignored them and left.

"Hozhi, this is our opponent, the chess player in Sakuradao High School!"

Shirakawa Katsuhiko looked at the backs of the four people solemnly: "Have you noticed the shortest boy standing at the back?"

A dozen meters away, the boy seemed to hear his words and turned around and glanced at them.

He is indeed a little short, almost the same as a middle school student in China.

But at this time, his hands were inserted into his pocket of his pants, and he looked unruly.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko was a little embarrassed, and I don’t know if he heard it. He continued to say until the four people disappeared from the corner:

"It's the boy who just turned back, named Hiroi Chunming!

Don’t look at his shortness, he is actually a senior high school student!

The chess skills are very high. It is said that if he had not participated in the Honinbo competition for students, he had already become a professional chess player with the level he showed last year!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the solemnity on his face disappeared and turned into a relaxed smile:

"But Haozhi definitely doesn't have to be afraid of him. He is just a short guy. As long as you show your sharp chess style, it is not an easy thing to defeat him..."

"Kakihiko, don't give nicknames to others!"

Samen Masumi criticized him seriously.

And Yuko Kotokawa opened the canned coffee and took a bite, saying, "Although I don't know Go, I am a teacher at least.

Shirakawa, you have such great expectations for Chihara, and Chihara is under a lot of pressure.

Yes, Chihara classmate?"

Hiroshi Chihara neither admits nor denies it, but says: "I'm used to it, and-"

He looked back at Katsuhiko Shirakawa:

"Shirakawa is right. Since he comes to participate in the competition, he should have the goal of winning the championship!"

There is another sentence I didn't say:

In fact, the 300,000 yen rewarded by the school is his ultimate goal.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko laughed twice and patted him on the shoulder: "It's worthy of being Haozhi, and it turns out that I was not scared by those people just now!"

Yuko Kotokawa held the coffee blankly, without making any sound for a while.

It turns out that it is not only Shirakawa who is stupid, but even Chihara's classmate has been infected.

champion?

If the champion is so easy to win, Kamakura wouldn't have been able to reach the semi-finals for six years.

...

The competition was held in the indoor gymnasium where the opening ceremony last held.

This place has been temporarily transformed into a go venue for competitions.

According to the group, it was divided into six areas, with four chess tables in each area.

The order of the battle is determined by the draw.

"How about it?"

As soon as Yuko Kotokawa came back, Shirakawa Katsuhiko went up to him and asked impatiently.

She knew that Shirakawa didn't care about other schools, and he only cared about one school from beginning to end: "We had a game with Sakurado High School in the sixth game."

"Game 6?" Shirakawa Katsuhiko frowned, but then calmed down. "The second-last game in the group stage is also a good time."

“When is the time?”

Yuko Kotokawa couldn't help but be stunned.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko looked as if he was right: "Of course it's time to determine the top spot in the group, let those guys Sakurada qualify as the second in the group!"

There were chess players from other high schools in the same group passing by. When they heard this, they looked at Kamakura and the four of them with a little unfriendly eyes:

Although Sakuradao is very strong, you are just Kamakura!

I dare to look down on us. I must teach you a good lesson in the next game!

Samen Masumi obviously noticed this situation, but he was a little helpless: "Kakihiko, you should say less."

Shirakawa Katsuhiko still didn't care, and his voice was unconcealed: "It's just the gaze of the defeated general. We should adapt in advance and have nothing to care about."

Passing by: "..."

Hiroshi Chihara felt that his eyes were becoming more and more unfriendly.

If it could be turned into temperature, the temperature around the four people would probably drop by several degrees.

Yuko Kotokawa found a corner where no one was around and the four of them gathered together.

She said directly: "Shirakawa, what do you want to do?"

Shirakawa Katsuhiko touched his head: "Teacher Yuko, I didn't want to do anything."

Yuko Kotokawa looks like ‘You’re not here’:

"I remember you were very cautious last year. Why did you suddenly become popular this year? Don't tell me that you just have classmate Chihara this year!"

Samen Masumi looked at him in confusion.

She still remembered that in the middle of the night, he would knock on her door at 10 o'clock to study the characteristics of the same group of chess players.

At the competition site, I just do my best and rarely speak.

Although he lost the game in the end because of his own special reasons.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko was a little surprised: "Teacher, you still remember what happened last year?"

"Stop, talk!"

"Okay, I'll say I'll say!"

Shirakawa Katsuhiko stopped the teacher's knuckles and finally explained the reason:

"I did do this on purpose, but it's a tactic.

Do you know what tactics are?”

Seeing that his girlfriend had signs of an attack, he quickly continued:

"In the past few years, our Kamakura Go department has been less respected by other schools.

At the same time, I, a person who made a joke last year, dared to say "beat Sakuradao" and "win the championship" this year?

I'm afraid they've treated me as a joke long ago?

but,

This is my purpose!
