"About time to resign?" "An ice cold pool awaits you." "Prediction of an Awakening" "I told you to wait!" "Hikaru..." "Onceyouplaceastone  you cannot move it." "That is the weight of a move." "But!" "Calm down Hikaru." "It's okay,there's still a chance we can win." "Now let's single mindedly work towards defeating him." "Hey, did you just hear Hikars's voice?" "Huh?" "Shindou-kun?" "Oh I know!" "You said you asked someone before us." "That was Shindou-kun right!" "Oh!" "Hehe!" "What?" "!" "Don't get mad." "Hey this takoyaki tastes great!" "Let's go get another one." "Where did we get it again?" "The other side of the school grounds." "This is delicious." "You've got something on your face." "Wasn't that show hilarious?" "Yup" "But the punchline was a little inappropriate." "Hey isn't that Shindou-kun?" "Oh... he did come afterall." "well, we'lI be going now." "Right!" "But!" "Say hi to Shindou-kun for me!" "Come on!" "Hikaru you came after all?" "I came with Sayaka because you said you weren't coming." "What are you doing?" "Go?" "Again?" "With the komi included" "White 68.5 moku..." "black 68 moku..." "We lost by halt a moku..." "We were a step short." "Dammit!" "Sai you told me it would be okay!" "I did my best!" "You moron!" "It's all your fault!" "Noo... an ice cold pool!" "He caught up to half a moku from that condition..." "U-UnbelievabIe..." "this incredible chase... after that stupid mess up that even Tsutsui wouldn't have made..." "What do you mean by that!" "Tsutsui... take off your uniform." "Why?" "!" "Isn't he the one going into the pool." "Just take it off!" "AHHH!" "An ice cold pool!" "W-why did you do that?" "!" "Tsutsui, we have a team for the Go tournament." "myself ,you and this kid!" "We can't do that!" "You lost the game..." "so just do what I tell you." "when is that tournament?" "This sunday from 2PM." "Where is it?" "Kaiou Junior High." "Wow!" "So this is Kaiou Junior High school." "Let's see... change into indoor shoes at the entrance... and it's the Second meeting room on the Fourth floor of the main building... I think I'lI get lost..." "Oh well, I'd never be able to come to one of the top Junior High School in the nation without something like this." "Wow, they're practicing even though it's sunday." "Oh Here it is ." "I guess I got here a little early." "I don't see Tsutsui-san at all." "Listen up don't think that you can play better than you usually do." "If you meet up with an opponent who's better than you it's only expected that you lose." "Let's play a bit then." "Imai you play Okata Takeshita, you play me." "Seems that Kaiou Junior High is exceptional again this year." "But I wonder who'lI come in second." "What kind of a tournament are we in today?" "It's a team tournament for junior Highs." "Oh!" "3 people per team,and the team with 2 wins are the winners." "8 male teams and 6 female teams." "not too many." "Where's Haze..." "Oh there it is." "How exciting." "Oh, I want to play now..." "Ah!" "My heart's punding." "Sai, you don't have to do anything today." "I'lI be playing." "Hikaru!" "B-But!" "I've learned a little already... andI really want to play...on my own." "But ,last night!" "You said Oh,there's a tournamet tomorrow and made me do your history homework!" "But I said nothing about letting you play." "Hikaru!" "You're being mean!" "You're going to lose so quickly!" "It doesn't matter if I lose." "I'm just an extra." "See, there's quite a few people here." "Eh?" "That's Takada's older brother!" "Oh no!" "Why don't we play for a bit too?" "Yeah." "But Kaiou's Go Club's awesome... I hear they use this hall for their club room." "They're just on a different scale." "I hear they've got 50 some people in their club." "probably good to watch." "I guess I'Il just sit around here." "Have you looked at the pairings?" "Yeah we won't go up against Kaiou until the final match." "If we do well, we can come in second." "Ah Oh!" "Sorry, sorry." "What are you doing!" "Umm..." "It was like this right?" "No that's not it!" "What are you talking about!" "It was like this!" "No it wasn't there!" "Want me to do it?" "Eh?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Hikaru?" "You came here...and then...here." "then... here and... umm... after this it was..." "Ah!" "Here!" "and then... and the part just now went..." "like this and..." "Umm... and this is where you are." "What about that?" "!" "We know that already!" "Anyone can just recreate the game from the first move if they're any good." "Go away!" "S-sSrry." "Dammit,if the stone was moved a little, I would've been winning." "Come on, let's continue." "Whose turn was it?" "Hey...can you really do this?" "Dammit..." "Which Junior High is he from?" "What?" "!" "There's someone here that you know?" "!" "So we can't stand out." "Yeah!" "If they find out ,we'lI deal with it when it happens." "True..." "If you can play the game then recreating the game is easy." "But..." "Hikaru just started a few days ago." "I can count the number of times he's touched the stones... I think I understand now... why I was drawn to Hikaru." "It's time." "We're starting the first match now." "Kaiou Juniou High against lwana Junior High is on seat A." "Ayu Junior High against lwana Junior High is on seat B." "For the men's division..." "Kaiou Jun ior High against Hameachi Junior High is on seat C." "Seat D is Taj Junior High against lwana Junior High." "Seat E is Ayu Junior High against Sawara Junior High." "and..." "Haze Junior High against Kawahagi Junior High is on seat F." "Is everyone in their seats?" "Oh yeah,I can't stand out." "Huh?" "W-What are you doing?" "!" "The game hasn't started yet!" "You can't do that!" "The match clock starts ticking if you hit it." "Match clock?" "45 minutes per person." "Press this after you make a move..." "Understood?" "Hey, wren't we supposed to NOT stand out?" "Sai!" "Why didn't you say anything?" "!" "You could've told me about the clock." "Things like that didn't exist in Shuusaku's Age." "and isn't it a little strange to be depending on me after bragging about how you were going to play today?" "You jerk..." "Fine!" "You can just stay back today!" "You do what you want Hikaru." "Are you from the Shougi Club?" "Why is someone from the Shougi Club here?" "You didn't have enough members?" "You didn't even have 3 people?" "Shut up and just nigiri" "Nigiri?" "Are you sure you don't want to use a furigoma?" "You're lucky we're playing Go." "With Shougi your king would've died in 5 minutes." "but with Go, it'lI take me 1 0 minutes." "You get to live an extra 5 minutes." "Damn it." "How can you say stuff like that without knowing how strong I am!" "You can tell the difference between a loser and a real man easily." "Someone who nags and bitches is obviously a loser." "Hey over there,hurry up and start." "2...4...6...8...9..." "I'm white." "White... then I'm black." "and Shindou-kun's white." "White." "Now,please start." "Good luck." "Tsutsui!" "What aur you doing?" "!" "Are you a moron?" "!" "You're playing while reading a book?" "!" "It's not against the rules..." "You're weak because you depend on crap like that!" "If the opponent move out of Joseki then that book' useless don't you understand that?" "!" "I'm more than aware of that but I just lose confiidence if I don't have this open..." "You there, quiet!" "please!" "Don't stand out!" "Whatever!" "Idiots." "Hey ,you forgot to hit your clock." "I'm nice aren't I?" "Hmm..." "What a terrible club." "A guy that doesn't know what a Match clock is..." "And an idiot that has a Joseki book open." "And a guy from the Shougi club to fiiIl a void." "The fiirst match will be an easy win." "It's so cooI.I wanna play too... I wanna play too Hikaru!" "Hikaru!" "I can't hear you!" "I resign." "Okay!" "1 0 minutes!" "Don't get distracted." "Techer..." "Its all right, The side with two winners win." "You two can win." "I feel sorry for Moriyama, but his opponent was just too strong." "well..." "Let'stakealook  at how strong this guy is." "What is this?" "This is terrible!" "Yeah..." "This is just too sorry a sight..." "Was that mad chase afte me a fluke?" "!" "That was me!" "Me!" "Hey you!" "Are you trying at all?" "!" "Yup.l'm trying." "This isn't your real strength!" "Or are you just playing around?" "I am playing." "What?" "!" "Because..." "Look..." "There are 9 stones on the Go Board." "This is the universe!" "And I'm placing stones one by one on that." "Like I'm increasing the number of stars one by one... I'm making the universe!" "It's like I'm a God... I'm going to become a God!" "On this Go Board!" "Hey are we still playing?" "well I want to keep playing." "Is that okay?" "well, the win-Ioss has been pretty much decided." "There' no point in playing." "Was it only a fluke that Hikaru recreated that game earlier?" "And I thought I saw a glimpse of genius of the level of Touya Akira, in Hikaru." "Now it's one win one loss..." "Tsutsui's our only hope." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Forbidden moves, and exeptions to forbidden moves." "Forbidden Moves.You cannot move to a location where your stone will get taken." "Exceptions to Forbidden Moves." "When you can capture the opponent's stones by moving there then you can move there." "Oh." "Yuuki-kuu you've improved!" "Okay it's 1 on 1 , What'Il happen." "Oh no, a Ko's formed already!" "What just happende Teacher?" "This makes one win and one loss." "It's up to Tsutsui..." "The beautiful Match" "We're holding a Junior High Go Tournament here today." "could you possibly take a look at it later?" "Okay." "well..." "I heard you were applying for our school..." "I have something to ask of you... okay... lf you make it into this school, could you possibly join our Go club?" "But, I... I understand." "For someone aiming towards becoming a pro, such as yourself it's probably not an appropriate place." "However, the existence of someone to admire... would bring energy to the club." "principal..." "I..." "I'm not as strong as you think I am." "Don't be so modest." "Those aren't the words someone who's about to become a pro should say." "No..." "really, I'm..." "We're won." "really?" "White... with Komi..." "60 and a half moku." "Black... 61 moku." "I lost?" "He came back?" "!" "But you were winning..." "He overcame a 20 moku difference in the Yose..." "Wow, you really don't make a mistake in the Yose do you?" "At Mokusan and Yose..." "I guess it cancels out you stupidity in the opening and midgame." "Come on caption, go report the result!" "Haze Junior High has won with 2 wins and a loss." "Haze Junior High has advanced to the second round..." "Wow, Haze Junior High?" "They've gone past the first round for the fiirst time here?" "Wow, you both won, that's incredible!" "You had to resign halfway through." "please begin the second match now." "I resign." "Why didn't you try to enter the Upper Right Corner Ikeshita?" "!" "If you place a stone at 3,3 then you still have a chance." "That's not possible, I'd kill him even if he came in." "And even if he came in, he'd still lose." "Mister, why don't you try doing the mokusan?" "His resignation is correct." "Kaiou wins 3 - 0." "Oh!" "It's been decided already?" "!" "That was fast." "They've made it to the final match again without any problem." "No..." "This guy's stronger than the last." "He'Il lose by about 5 moku... I thought they were stronger..." "but they're not that strong." "Isn't this the guy that recreated our game before the tournament?" "Yeah it seems the only strong guy over there is the captain." "This guy doesn't stand a chance now." "Lemme see..." "Hmm..." "Your play is interesting but... it's so inexperienced and unskilled..." "I told you so!" "I told you so!" "really..." "I have so much trouble judging Hikaru's potential..." "Sometimes he makes some really insightful moves... and then he makes a real stupid move..." "Tsutsui!" "This makes I win and I loss." "This match..." "If we don't win we don't get a Go club for Haze Junior High." "Tsutsui didn't want to tell you because he didn't want to stress you out." "But... he said all we needed to do was participate." "That's not all." "The guys over at the Shougi club are angry that I had to work for the Go club" "They said that if we don't win then they're not going to forgive Tsutsui." "But!" "It's just that Tsutsui - san's really devoted to establishing the Go club." "Then why don't you play seriously?" "!" "Show them your real strength!" "Hey do you think you could keep it quiet?" "If you don't hurry up and move you'Il lose on time." "Sai..." "please play..." "I can't do it." "I can't win..." "Sai..." "But you told me not to do anything..." "H..." "Ah..." "Hikaru!" "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" "You're angry aren't you Hikaru?" "That you can't win on your own strength?" "Don't worry if we combine our strength we can still win." "Wipe your tears, make sure you don't place the stone in the wrong spot." "Let's do it." "8 - 3 Tsuke!" "Sorry, I was in the bathroom." "That kid won." "R" " really?" "Did we really win?" "!" "He really is something." "Makes me look forward to the fiinaIs." "We might be able to win." "It's unbelievable, I can't believe we came this far." "Tsutsui, throw that book away." "You don't need a book!" "Throw it away!" "Your game begins there!" "And him..." "will he play terribly like he did the first round?" "Or will he play the way he just did?" "We're about to begin the final match in the boy's division." "will the students from Kaiou Junior High and Haze Junior High please get ready?" "Tsutsui!" "We're going!" "please start your game now." "Good luck." "Sorry for all the trouble Touya - kun." "It's no problem." "Also, my father gives you his best wishes." "When your father was a student here" "I was his teacher." "We were in a wooden building back then and it wasn't as nice as this." "There was a room that was rumored to be haunted... and he'd play Go with me every now and then..." "Dad played game against Shindou Hikaru?" "!" "He hasn't told you anything about it?" "I bumped into him just outside." "And what happened?" "!" "They played a few moves and he ran out of here." "See you later." "Thanks for coming." "With just that, he can't really say anything." "A child strong enough to make Akira - kun worry" "I guess I can't just sit around either." "Touya - kun..." "Touya - kun!" "Y" " Yes?" "Why don't we take a quick look at this?" "Seems like they're on the final match already." "He's the person in charge of our Go Club, Mr. Yun" "Shindou!" "Why is he at a place like this?" "!" "5 - 1 0 Hane." "9 - 3 Hiraki" "1 7 - 1 4 Hiraki!" "1 7 - 4 Tsuke!" "Hikaru, listen to me." "Don't just play where l tell you to, Iike a puppet but try to feel the flow of the stones." "The flow of the stones?" "1 8 - 5 Hane!" "From now on" "I'Il play a game to show you Hikaru." "Just look at the flow of this game." "You should be able to do it already Hikaru." "That is your first step." "1 7 - 3 Nobi!" "1 6 - 5 Ate!" "Hikaru..." "You have awakened!" "I resign" "Thanks for the match." "The Kaiou Go club..." "I've heard of them... I guess guys like Touya Akira are a dime a dozen there... I guess Tsutsui stands no chance against them then." "What about that kid?" "Touya!" "What's he looking intently at?" "!" "No, I can't do it. I've tried upto now but I guess it's about time for me to resign..." "Cutting there was supposed to be useless..." "I guess the possibility arose due to Damezumari... I can win!" "I'lI win by about 8 moku now!" "I won't let him come back in the Yose!" "I resign." "Kaga, I..." "Shindou - kun..." "This is the end, Hikaru." "We won..." "This one did well playing until now..." "This kifu was formed, because of your strength as welI." "Feel proud." "You played well." "Mr. Yun..." "Yes!" "Touya!" "It was a beautiful match..." "I'm angry..." "Why wasn't I playing you in that match?" "!" "Shindou - kun... I realize now that I won't reach the Hand of God if I don't surpass you." "Therefore..." "I won't fun from you anymore." "well, the fiinaI match between Kaiou Junior High and Haze Junior High is a win by Haze with a record of 2 wins to 1 loss." "Who would've thought that Kaiou would lose?" "!" "could you lend me that marker for a second?" "Yes." "That kid... it's Hikaru!" "But aren't you a 6th grader right now?" "!" "They found out!" "Just what is this about?" "Aren't you a student of Haze?" "I'm sorry!" "I asked him to come for us!" "Winner of the third annual North District Winter" "What about the Go club?" "We'lI try again next year." "What about you Kaga?" "I wanna go back to Shougi Club as soon as possible." "Oh yeah..." "all that stuff I said about not winning the tournament." "It was all a lie." "Thank you very much." "Hikaru..." "That last match... did you feel something from it?" "Sai, maybe you really are an incredible guy." "That serious look Touya has stares straight at Sai." "That guy'lI probably chase after Sai with all his strength." "Touya might catch up to him... and I'm far far behind them..." "But from there, I'lI take my first step!" "Go!" "Go!" "Igo!" "Oh no, a Ko's formed." "What's happened Teacher?" "There's an important rule that we need to deal with." "Mai - chan took back when Yuuki - kun captured her stone right?" "If you both keep capturing each other then the game will never end." "That's why there's an important rule called "Ko" in Igo." "When white takes black's stone black can't take back the white stone immediately." "black has to place it somewhere else first and then you can take the stone back." "White can capture again after moving somewhere else fiirst." "This is the rule called "Ko"" "Let's continue from where Yuuki - kun captured." "Spring came, and I entered Haze, Jr." "High." "Hey have you decided on a club to join?" "Nope, not yet." "There were a Iot of posters from clubs on the bulletin board the hall." "Let's go take a look at it later." "Which one are you going to join?" "hmm..." "I dunno..." "Let's put ours up here." "Yeah, the board near the main entrance is the best." "Yup" "What is this?" "Go Club?" "Did we have something like that?" "They took up so much space!" "Take it off, take it off." "What do you think you're doing you bastards?" "!" "What?" "What did you do to the Go Club Poster!" "Take this!" "Keep it away!" "Take this!" "and this!" "and this!" "Stop it!" "Isn't that the mop for the bathroom?" "!" "Hikaru!" "Shindou-kun!" "What happened Shindou-kun?" "These guys ripped our poster!" "No one's gonna join your Go club." "And you haven't even been recognized as a club yet!" "Don't take up space on the bulletin boards!" "With great power comes greater privilege." "Our basketball, team's strong so it only makes sense." "Kaga..." "Seems like the Go club's having a tough time..." "Compared to that the Shougi club's great." "well, if you ever get tired of the Go club you can join the Shougi Club anytime." "So anyways...." "Good luck establishing your Go Club!" "Man I'm angry." "It's only a poster." "We can make another one." "But Tsutsui-san... no one'Il see it if we put it up here." "Oh, well... but I have good news too." "Ms, Tamako, the chemistry teacher gave a Go board and some stones." "And if it's available after school we can use the chemistry lab too," "Then we're like a real club now!" "We've got to get new members." "We have to get the school to recognize us as real club this time." "Okay, What do you want me to do then Tsutsui-san?" "Putting up posters?" "Handing out flyers?" "Or drag someone in to the club?" "AH!" "Sounds like fun!" "I'm gonna go too!" "Why are you going to go?" "Cause it sounds like fun!" "What about Kaga?" "He's not gonna do anything with the club anymore?" "Yeah... he's gonna stick with Shougi." "He's not gonna come here..." "Oh..." "Thanks Ichikawa-san" "Anything for you Akira-kun." "But what do you need to do at Haze Junior High?" "If you're going to be done in a few minutes" "I'Il wait for you." "That's okay." "I'Il go home by bus." "Oh?" "Okay..." "Huh?" "That's a uniform form Kaiou." "Why's he here?" "Umm..." "I'm searching for someone called Shindou Hikaru in the fiirst year." "I was told that he joined the Go club." "could you possibly tell me where the Go club is?" "Go club?" "I've never heard of a Go club..." "I think I saw something about it on the bulletin board." "really?" "I think I saw it there..." "Thank you." "Go club?" "We have a Shougi club?" "You know about it?" "Nope." "Oh..." "Do you know about it?" "Nope." "Umm... excuse me." "Yes?" "Oh, a student from Kaiou?" "What are you looking for?" "I'm looking for the Go club..." "but I'm having trouble fiinding it." "Do you really have one?" "Go club?" "Oh!" "Them!" "They should be playing in the Chemistry Lab right now." "Using a Go Board that once belonged to my father." "It doesn't have any ashi left and the stones are a little beat up." "Chem..." "Lab?" "If you go around there, you'Il be able to see the Chemistry Lab windows so you can look in on them." "If you want to go in, there's an entrance on the right..." "We were disqualified from that last tournament... but that last word that the head steward said was great wasn't it?" "I'm looking forward to Haze's entry next year." "Are you talking about the one where Hikaru entered pretending to be a Junior High student?" "is Hikaru really that strong?" "Be quiet." "well..." "I'm not sure about it either." "When he's in a bind, he brings out incredible strength but... lf we're playing normally he still loses to me." "Oh, so he isn't that good after all." "Look he lost again!" "Akari go home already!" "I messed up because you kept talking right next to me!" "What?" "!" "Are you blaming me for your loss!" "well it is your fault!" "Shindou!" "Touya..." "Why are you here?" "Shindou... why is someone like you in the school Go club?" "Are you not coming to the Go salon anymore?" "I'm usually there." "No matter who I play with" "I'm constantly thinking about you..." "How you would respond to each of my moves." "I've become stronger since then so that I won't be embarrassed by you again." "I'm waiting for you." "I came to say that." "I'm not gonna play against you." "Wait?" "!" "Why?" "!" "I'm gonna work with Tsutsui-san in the Go club." "Right Tsutsui-san?" "And we're entering the tournament again." "You won't play with me..." "Shindou!" "Shindou!" "Hikaru..." "I'Il make him wait..." "until I catch up to him." "Why?" "Why won't you play me?" "There's no way you would fear me." "I should be the one fearing you." "I'm gonna work in the Go Club and we're entering the tournament again." "Shindou Hikaru, if that is your intention I'lI..." "Did you hear?" "Yup." "Touya Akira's gonna enter our club." "really?" "Isn't he as strong as a pro?" "Why enter a school club?" "This sucks." "He's definitely gonna take a tournament spot." "What about team matches?" "Touya's gonna be the captain?" "No way!" "What about the president Kishimoto-san?" "The third year students won't keep quiet about this." "Yeah, I head the president said to Touya." "If you enter the club it'Il motivate everyone in the club" "You've gotta be kidding." "Don't think too long." "Thinking longer is useless you're just bad." "Okay" "Yamadal, answer Tsumego instantly!" "Don't spend more than 1 0 seconds on any one!" "Yes, I'm sorry!" "The atmosphere today sucks..." "everyone's so tense..." "Shh!" "Quiet!" "That guy's still not here?" "He doesn't think high enough of us." "You there, Quiet!" "S-Sorry" "Stop it Nakai it's embarrassing as if we were actually bothered by this." "I know." "Touya... I'm sorry I'm late." "I had some things to do it class." "That's okay, I heard from your teacher." "Seems everyone's here now." "Everyone, place pause your games for a second." "I'Il introduce all the new members this year." "New students please come to the front." "How is it?" "Is it okay?" "It's not crooked right?" "Yeah looks okay." "Who asked you?" "But I helped you color it in!" "It'lI draw a lot more attention than before now, right Tsutsui-san?" "Yeah" "See!" "Let's go back to the Chem lab now and play a few games Shindou-kun." "Me too!" "We have 1 7 new members this year." "Let's all work hard together towards the tournament in June." "Good luck everyone." "Nice to meet you." "please return to your seats now and continue your games." "Yes I'm having all the new members play each other to see how strong they are." "Let's see, you can play..." "Teacher, I'lI play him." "Miwa...yeah..." "Wait, I'lI play." "Touya this way." "Oh well." "What happened?" "The teacher wanted me to avoid an embarrassment." "It's not good when a 3rd year student is easily defeated by a freshman." "I'Il take white." "Yes, please." "You're Touya-Meijin's son?" "Yes." "I'm looking forward to seeing how strong you are." "Hidaru!" "You can place the stones properly now!" "still now new members." "I wonder if we can get enough people by the time of the tournament in June... I'lI try asking a bunch of smart people." "How smart they are doesn't matter." "But it seems like stupid people can't learn how to play Go." "Yup, yup." "Then why does Shindou-kun know how to play?" "Oh yeah!" "Why are you agreeing with him?" "!" "Damn it." "But Kaiou Junior High is an elite school and their Go club's strong too isn't it?" "But there are pros who had really bad grades in school." "Like all D's and F's." "really?" "Then maybe Hikaru can become pro someday too!" "Hey!" "But now I feel like I can do it too." "No!" "No!" "You can't do it!" "Come on Hikaru, teach her!" "But... lf you can do it, so can I!" "Right, Tsutsui-san?" "Yes." "Fujisaki-san why don't you join." "So just teach me a little, Hikaru." "Oh man..." "Look you're white." "If black moves here then this white stone is captured." "Okay, I took back that move." "It's your turn what should you do to prevent the white stone from getting captured?" "I'd run away like this!" "Are you messing with me?" "!" "You can't do that!" "It's impossible!" "What?" "!" "Who are you to talk!" "calm down Shindou-kun I taught children in Korea how to play Go while teaching at a school." "I was lucky enough to come to Japan and I decided to teach Go over here as welI." "When I fiirst came here" "I was really disappointed..." "The children in Japan aren't very good at Go." "Go is really popular in Kurea compared to here." "Yes.In Korea, there are Go schools the way there are cram schools over here and everyone learns well." "But last year, when I transferred here" "I changed my mind." "The children here are just as strong as those in Korea." "But...there are always those who are stronger." "Um...ahhh.." "Shindou Hikaru from Haze Junior High..." "He appeared in the winter tournament this year as a member for Haze Junior High." "Our team from then has all graduated already but I remember." "I was there as weIl." "Shindou Hikaru!" "I'm gonna work hard in the Go club" "I'm going to the tournament." "But...you may be able to defeat him." "That is my intention." "Let's stop here, I know your strength now." "This club's centered around inter-league matches, divided by strength but there are those who look at kifu and try to solve tsumego." "I give a lecture every now and the" "Fridays we discuss "the next move."" "You're free to participate or not." "If you're going to participate in the league matches you'lI probably be in division A but you're fee to join whichever division you want." "Umm, Teacher..."
