Chapter 104 Dihua, chasing after Chen Anxia!?
Some of the contestants who had finished their matches and were waiting to register their results, or those who were still competing, couldn't help but be moved when they heard the little girl's words.
Clearly, they had all heard about Akira Touya to some extent.
Some people have even studied Akira Touya's game records in detail under the guidance of their teachers or parents.
It's fair to say that Akira Touya is practically a star among contestants of his age.
Soon, starting from the chess table number 183 where Chen Anxia was playing, a commotion gradually spread outwards.
Amid the commotion, whispers and gasps could be heard intermittently.
"Did I hear that right, Akira Touya!?"
"No way, could it be that Akira Touya is also participating in this tournament?"
"My God, if it really is Akira Touya, is there still any suspense about the champion of this tournament?"
"What? Akira Touya is participating in the competition too?"
"Where is Akira Touya? I want to see my idol in person!"
"It can't be real, how could Akira Touya possibly come back to participate in a competition of this level?"
"Yes, participating in this kind of competition is simply a waste of time for Akira Touya."
......
Seeing the commotion spreading, the surrounding staff immediately began to maintain order, shouting, "Quiet down! No noise is allowed in the competition area!"
Seeing this, Yoshitaka Waya and Asumi Nase, who were also staff members, quickly joined in maintaining order and began to try to quell the commotion.
During this process, they also learned the reason for the commotion.
They all found this incredible.
They knew that Akira Touya had no chance of participating in a competition of that level.
Because the championship title of this level of competition has no real significance and is of no use to Akira Touya.
As for the prize money for the competition, well... would the Touya family be short of a little money?
But if Akira Touya didn't attend, how did this commotion come about?
There is always a reason for everything, even if it is just a rumor.
And the source of this is very likely related to Akira Touya.
'Could it be that Akira Touya has really come to participate in a competition of this level?'
'But why would Akira Touya participate in a competition of this level?'
'Could it be that Akira Touya has an opponent he wants to face in this tournament?'
'If so, who would it be?'
Suddenly, Asumi Nase thought of Chen Anxia, the person whom Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki had targeted.
'Could it be him?!'
......
Meanwhile, Chen Anxia, who was the source of the commotion, never expected that the little girl in front of him would mistake him for Akira Touya, and with such a confident expression.
Just as Chen Anxia was about to respond, a commotion broke out, and the surrounding contestants all turned to look at her with various expressions.
Chen Anxia frowned slightly at this, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Without hesitation, Chen Anxia addressed the little girl, and also the other contestants watching him, saying, "I am not Akira Touya."
The little girl was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Chen Anxia's answer.
Just as the little girl was about to ask more questions, the staff member in charge of recording the wins and losses quickly came over and began to record the outcome of the game.
After recording the outcome of the game, Chen Anxia didn't give the little girl a chance to ask further questions and simply got up and left.
In Chen Anxia's view, he had already explained, and the commotion should be stopped soon.
However, Chen Anxia underestimated the impact of this commotion.
Although the participants around chess table number 183 already knew the truth, many other participants affected by the commotion were unaware of it.
This includes six people: Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Yuko Miki, Kiyoharu Shiba, Yuta Fukui, Hikaru Shindo, and Otoko Iwashima.
When Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki heard the news, their first reaction was disbelief.
Because he knew more about Akira Touya's situation than anyone else, he knew that Akira Touya had no chance of returning to participate in the competition at that level.
But then, a figure appeared in their minds simultaneously, and they murmured similar words.
"Could it be that Akira Touya also came for Chen Anxia?"
The reason why Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki think this way is because Akira Toya is also a student at the private Kaiou Elementary School.
Shinsuke Ichiyanagi enrolled in the private Kaiou Elementary School because of Akira Toya.
In fact, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi joined the Go club at the private Kaiou Elementary School because of Akira Toya.
According to Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Akira Toya, who loves Go, would probably join the Go club.
It was only after actually joining the Go club that Shinsuke Ichiyanagi discovered that Akira Toya had never actually joined the Go club.
Later, although Shinsuke Ichiyanagi wanted to leave the club, he ultimately failed to do so because of the Go club's instructor, Kei Sakamoto.
Yuko Miki first learned about Akira Touya because of the Truth Bureau.
Later, at the private Kaiou Elementary School, Yuko Miki met Akira Touya by chance.
It was only then that Yuko Miki learned that one of the players in the Game of Truth was actually a student at the private Kaiou Elementary School.
And at the moment of their encounter, a task pop-up appeared.
That mission was a challenge; the requirement was to challenge Akira Touya and win.
Through the mission pop-up, Yuko Miki learned the name Akira Touya for the first time.
Naturally, Yuko Miki accepted the mission and challenged Akira Toya.
Although Akira Touya was quite surprised by Yuko Miki's challenge, the gentle-natured Akira Touya, who loved Go, readily agreed to Yuko Miki's challenge request.
The result was obvious: Miki Yuko suffered a crushing defeat.
Yuko Miki had already anticipated this outcome due to the truth of the matter.
The reason why Yuko Miki accepted the challenge, which she knew she would lose, was because she wanted to truly feel the difference in skill between herself and Akira Toya.
As for relying on her father's power to complete the mission, Miki Yuko never considered that from the beginning.
Otherwise, Yuko Miki would have already used her father's influence to teach Shinsuke Ichiyanagi a lesson.
Akira Touya is a student at the private Kaiou Elementary School, which means that Akira Touya is very likely to know Chen Anxia and have played chess with Chen Anxia in private.
If Akira Toya really came to participate in this competition because of Anxia Chen.
That means that Akira Touya is very likely to lose to Anxia Chen.
Only in this way could Akira Touya possibly chase after Chen Anxia and participate in this competition.
Thinking of this, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.
It's not just Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki.
Besides Iwashima, Kiyoharu Shiba, Yuta Fukui, and Hikaru Shindo, after learning this news, knew Akira Touya's skill level.
So everyone couldn't help but start imagining why Akira Touya participated in the competition.
Ultimately, their thinking gradually became more enlightened...
At this moment, they were unaware that what they thought was Akira Touya was actually their target this time... Chen Anxia!
......
Chapter 105: Accidental Yet Inevitable, Chen Anxia VS Fukui Yuta! (Please vote!)
As the person in charge of this year's National Children's Go Tournament, Seiji Ogata quickly learned of the commotion.
As a disciple of Touya Meijin, Ogata Seiji was well aware that Touya Akira would never participate in a competition of this level.
Regardless of whether Akira Touya himself wanted to participate, even the Master Touya wouldn't allow Akira Touya to attend.
Because it would be pointless for Akira Toya to participate in a competition of this level.
With Akira Toya's skill level, he could easily sweep through a match of this caliber, making the outcome a foregone conclusion from the very beginning.
Furthermore, since Touya Akira is the official person in charge, if he were to participate, some people would inevitably think that the competition would be unfair, and some would inevitably gossip behind his back.
However, there must be a reason for everything.
After Ogata Seiji investigated further, he discovered that the commotion was caused by someone mistaking one of the contestants for Touya Akira.
Upon learning this, Ogata Seiji adjusted his glasses, looked at the information sheet in his hand, and murmured, "Based on the final game's board position, and considering his ability to give instruction during matches, his skill level should at least be at the Insei level..."
"Number 129...Chen Anxia..."
"I remember that female student mentioned that name before..."
"Perhaps this is also a seed worth paying attention to..."
"However, the one who's most intriguing is still the Iwajima guy..."
Was that move a coincidence, or...?
......
As time passed, the commotion caused by Akira Touya gradually subsided.
In the process, more and more people learned the truth and realized that the disturbance was caused by someone mistaking the truth.
This includes Kiyoharu Sha, Yuta Fukui, and Hikaru Shindo.
However, some people are still unaware of the truth and simply keep their thoughts to themselves.
Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Yuko Miki are examples of this.
