The all-powerful middle schooler

"That's so awesome, Izumi-chan, how did you come up with that idea?"

After class, Fujiwara Chika came to his seat.

"Ah, I'd like to try that too. Saying 'You're all trash' in front of everyone would be so interesting!"

She imagined it for a moment, then brought her fists close to her chest, striking a pose of eager anticipation.

She was one of the few people in the entire school who dared to have such thoughts.

"It just occurred to me."

Hasegawa Izumi answered casually.

"You're such a genius, Izumi-chan! You're really good at looking cool! I want to learn from you."

As she spoke, Fujiwara Chika struck what she thought was a very cool pose.

"Is the Far East Magic Club the club that Izumi-chan and Takanashi-san founded?"

She brought this up again.

"It is our base in Shuchiin, and also the current name of the organization."

Rokka Kotori chimed in.

"Outpost? Its significance is truly unclear."

Fujiwara Chika tilted her head, looking rather cute in her confusion.

"Speaking of clubs, I remember you joined the board game club, Chika? You play the piano very well, I thought you would join the music club."

Hanase Izumi suddenly thought of something.

"I have given up playing the piano."

She simply smiled and said that.

"Give up? That's fine too. There's no need to persist in things that aren't truly interesting."

He did not ask why.

"Why isn't Quan-chan playing by the rules? Shouldn't you be asking me why I gave up?"

Instead, Fujiwara Chika pouted in dissatisfaction and made a sarcastic remark.

"Uh, why is that?"

He agreed.

"Because Kaguya-san said something to me back then, telling me not to play the piano anymore..."

Fujiwara Chika immediately offered a happy explanation.

"She does seem like the kind of person who would say those kinds of things, but it looks like it's a good thing for you, Chika."

He agreed.

"Does Izumi-chan know Kaguya too? I've never heard her mention it before."

The girl's eyes lit up, and she brought her face close, as if she could smell the scent of an affair.

"We're not very familiar with each other; we've only met once."

His tone was flat.

Starting at 15, you'll be at the top of the rankings!

By this day, everyone knew that some ignorant fool had challenged all the clubs in Shuchiin.

While most people were angry, they treated it as a joke, and no one thought he could actually do that.

Despite being at the center of the controversy, Hasegawa Izumi continued attending school as usual, unaffected by the public opinion.

After school, the three of them went to the school zoo.

"Is Izumi-chan really good at Go?"

Despite her excitement, Fujiwara Chika was still a little worried about the matter.

"It didn't happen before, but it does now."

He gave a meaningful answer.

"Really? I heard that the head of the Go club has already passed the professional exam. It won't be that easy to beat him."

"I'm confident, Chika, you don't need to worry about me."

"OK then."

Fujiwara Chika sensed the confidence and seriousness in his eyes, and thus refrained from being presumptuous.

"As for Go, I've tried it before, but it was too difficult, so I gave up. However, I can still understand the rules... Can I watch the match tomorrow?"

After taking a few steps forward, she turned her head and asked again.

The girl wanted to join in the fun.

Go is a board game, right? So it's kind of like a club activity!

"You can come whenever you want, as long as the Go club doesn't forbid it."

He said casually.

"That's good."

Fujiwara Chika turned around and smiled, revealing her teeth.

"Requesting backup! Sage! The Chimera is about to defect!"

Suddenly, the anxious voice of Rikka Toriyuki came from the cage next to them.

Turning my head, I saw that Tom the cat had broken free from Rikka's grasp and was rushing towards the cage entrance.

"let me!"

Fujiwara Chika volunteered to intercept them.

"Meow~!"

She bent down, reached out her hand, and made what sounded like a language, as if she wanted to communicate.

However, Talking Tom ignored it and ran straight to the other side.

"What? My charm didn't work!"

The girl looked dejected.

Just as Talking Tom was about to disappear into the bushes outside, a hand suddenly appeared from above, grabbed his neck, and instantly rendered him powerless to escape, causing his body to slump down.

"Thanks to your intervention, Sage, otherwise, if the Chimera had broken free of its seal, it would have been a catastrophe for the world."

After locking the cat back in, Rikka Takanashi clapped her hands, dusted them off, and came outside the cage.

"You are still too careless. Losing your power does not mean you should lose your vigilance."

Hanase Izumi instructed the other party.

"Yes."

Rikka, the little bird, hesitated before finally giving a hesitant reply.

Beside her, Fujiwara Chika listened to the conversation between the two, shaking her head back and forth, completely unable to understand.

This style is still too ahead of its time for her!

The moon gradually disappeared, and the sun rose as usual.

A new day has arrived.

Today is the day of the duel, and it's also the first challenge launched by the Far East Magic Society. We absolutely cannot afford to lose!

"Rikka, let's go."

As soon as the bell rang, Hasegawa Izumi changed her usual demeanor, and a calm and confident expression appeared on her face.

"Our battle has begun."

Rokka followed closely behind, muttering something.

Amidst the various strange looks from their classmates, they stepped out of the door.

"Wait for me, Izumi-chan, Takanashi-san."

After saying goodbye to her friends, Fujiwara Chika quickly caught up with them.

When the three arrived at the Go club, everyone there was already on high alert.

When they stepped into the Go club, they were met with hostile stares from almost everyone.

His disruptive behavior was certainly unpopular, especially since he made outrageous remarks in the news release, which was a blatant slap in the face!

Moreover, placing them as the first targets to challenge clearly indicates that they are considered the weakest, which is simply outrageous!

"How scary!"

Seeing the furious expressions on these people's faces, Rikka Takanashi and Chika Fujiwara both took a small step back, feeling guilty.

Only Izumi Hasegawa remained calm and composed in the face of the pressure from everyone. Instead, she stepped forward and asked, "May I ask which one of you is the captain of the Go club?"

His words stunned the Go club members in Bengbu.

"What? You're asking for a beating!"

"You challenged our Go club without even doing any research?"

"I can't take it anymore, Minister, let's beat him up first!"

……

"Ahem, I am the head of the Go club, Yoshitaka Waga."

Seeing the situation in chaos, Yoshitaka Wagaya, as the leader, had no choice but to step forward and say something.

"Then you must be the best in the Go club, right? I don't want anyone to keep nagging after I beat you."

He turned to look at the speaker, a man with brown hair and a resolute gaze, who certainly looked like someone fit to be a minister.

"As the minister, I am naturally the best player in Go. If I lose, it means that our Go team has lost to you, and no one will cause you any trouble because of it."

As he spoke, Yoshitaka Waya glanced at the other members; as the department head, he was quite magnanimous.

"We endorse the minister's decision."

The other members quickly responded in unison.

As a relatively traditional club, they have a very clear sense of class. In addition, they highly recognize the minister's strength and naturally believe that the minister can give this arrogant guy a good slap in the face!

"In that case, let's begin our game. I hope we can have a wonderful match; I'm really looking forward to it."

Yoshitaka Waya clearly showed excitement.

"Please wait a moment, the person recording the match results has not yet arrived."

He raised his hand in a gesture.

His goal wasn't just to defeat his opponent, but to make the Far East Magic Society famous!

Without advertising, the results would be drastically different.

Not long after, Shizuku Asahi, the head of the news department, arrived at the scene.

To be honest, they didn't really care about this matter. They only sent her, the minister, to confirm the results because of the other party's strong request.

According to the information they collected, Izumi Hasegawa had never attended a Go tutoring class or joined any Go academy, while Yoshitaka Waya was a professional-level player, so the outcome of the match was obvious.

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

Asahi Shizuku adjusted her glasses, and the sunlight streaming in from the window created a reflective effect.

The two sat on opposite sides of the chessboard.

Rikka Takanashi and Chika Fujiwara sat behind him watching the game, Shizuku Asahi sat opposite him taking notes, while the other club members stood by waiting for the game to begin.

"I play black first, so I have the first move."

In the 'coin toss' round, Izumi Hasegawa gained the advantage of playing black.
