Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Chen Anxia stared at the ball, seemingly still in shock, standing there motionless.

Without a doubt, this goal was scored by Kanade Mitani.

Kato Warito's voice announced the score at just the right moment: "30-0!"

after...

"40-0!"

"1-0, it's Chen Anxia's turn to serve!"

......

The match proceeded without anyone noticing, and soon the score reached "3-0".

In the previous match, Kanade Mitani defeated Anxia Chen with his Speed ​​smash.

In the eyes of the audience, perhaps because Mitani Kanade's Speed ​​Shot was too powerful, Chen Anxia did not react when facing the Speed ​​Shot, and just stood there blankly each time.

This naturally sparked discussion among the audience.

During the discussion, the audience gradually came to believe that Chen Anxia was a newcomer.

Although it's unclear why Chen Anxia, ​​as a newcomer, had such an amazing performance before, his reaction to the Speed ​​shot was also typical of a newcomer.

However, they could not have imagined that the reason Chen Anxia had been standing there was to better observe Mitani Kanade's Speed ​​smash.

Now it's Chen Anxia's turn to serve again.

In his service game, Chen Anxia did not use the bullet serve, but instead hit a standard serve.

Facing this serve, Kanade Mitani did not use the Speed ​​shot.

Because this serve was hit not far from where Kanade Mitani was standing, and at that distance, it was impossible to execute a speed smash.

However, when facing the next ball, which was Chen Anxia's return shot to the corner of the baseline, Mitani Kanade once again unleashed a Speed ​​smash.

The audience in the spectator area all thought that Chen Anxia would stand there blankly without any reaction, just like before, and even Mitani Kanade thought so.

And so, to their astonishment, Chen Anxia made a move.

Chen Anxia also unleashed impressive speed, quickly running towards the landing point. The moment the ball bounced off the ground, he held the racket in one hand and swung it powerfully, accurately hitting the tennis ball.

Before anyone could react, Chen Anxia's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the tennis ball spinning violently on the racket, making a creaking sound, with some disbelief.

At that moment, Chen Anxia felt as if his shot had hit a lead ball, incredibly heavy.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Anxia reached for the racket with his left hand, but it was too late. His right hand, unable to withstand the force of the tennis ball, couldn't help but loosen its grip on the racket.

The tennis racket, once released, was thrown towards the ground a short distance away, along with the tennis ball.

Seeing this, Chen Anxia couldn't help but clench her slightly numb right hand.

Naturally, this goal was scored by Mitani Kanade.

However, Chen Anxia gained something more important than the point from this play.

That's the final piece of the puzzle missing from the Speed ​​smash data model...

At the same time, Chen Anxia also understood what Speed ​​shot was all about.

The English word "Speed" means speed, and this speed is the key to a speed-based smash.

That is, when Kanade Mitani sprints at full speed, he applies the kinetic energy converted from his own speed to the tennis ball, and then hits a side spin ball with strong spin.

This is the secret of the Speed ​​shot, and also the reason why Chen Anxia felt so heavy.

In the audience area, those watching the match were not surprised by the scene of Chen Anxia dropping his racket.

Because long before Chen Anxia, ​​someone had experienced a racket slipping from their hand during a match against Mitani Kanade.

It was after that that they all learned about Kanade Mitani's Speed ​​Smash, which not only had intense spin and terrifying speed, but also an unstoppable force.

To their surprise, Chen Anxia was able to catch the Speed ​​shot.

Although Chen Anxia's racket slipped from his hand, it couldn't hide the fact that he caught the Speed ​​smash.

It's important to understand that Chen Anxia's character is a complete novice in tennis. It's simply unbelievable that such a novice could receive such a powerful shot as the Speed ​​Shot.

Therefore, they couldn't help but start discussing it.

Naturally, the focus of their discussion remained on whether Chen Anxia was a newcomer or not.

On the court, Chen Anxia had already picked up his racket.

Chen Anxia originally wanted to serve again, but he noticed that the net string on his racket had become loose after receiving the previous ball.

If Chen Anxia's tennis skills are up to par, then he might be able to play a match even with such a racket.

However, Chen Anxia has now mastered basic tennis techniques, so under these circumstances, he certainly cannot use such a racket to compete.

With a slight frown, Chen Anxia sensed that she had encountered a problem.

The problem is the racket.

Chen Anxia has two rackets, one main and one secondary, but both are very ordinary and inexpensive.

This is understandable, given that the 'predecessor' was not wealthy.

Right now, Chen Anxia's main racket has come loose after receiving a speed smash, not to mention the rest of the racket.

If both of Chen Anxia's main and secondary rackets come loose, then Chen Anxia will really have to concede defeat halfway through the match.

After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Thinking about it, Chen Anxia couldn't help but feel troubled.

Chen Anxia now has two choices.

One option is to continue playing with a secondary racket until the secondary racket also develops the same problem, at which point the player should simply withdraw from the match.

Another option is to withdraw from the match now, which would at least allow you to keep your secondary racket.

As for buying a new racket after the match, emmm...

Currently, most of Chen Anxia's funds have been used to pay for membership fees at the Roland Tennis Club, leaving him with no budget to buy a new racket.

Of course, Chen Anxia can choose to collect funds through players.

However, this will take time and is fraught with uncertainty. At least for the next two days, Chen Anxia will be unable to continue training.

This is truly bad news for Chen Anxia, ​​who is about to enroll in Seishun Academy and meet Tezuka Kunimitsu.

After thinking it over, Chen Anxia had already made up her mind.

In Chen Anxia's view, the final piece of the Speed ​​shot puzzle has been completed, so even withdrawing from the competition is not unacceptable...

At the same time, Kato Nobuto, who was sitting in the referee's chair, noticed Chen Anxia's unusual behavior.

Previously, through conversations with Chen Anxia, ​​Kato Waruto learned that Chen Anxia was not well-off and that his racket was of inferior quality.

So when Kato Nuanren saw Chen Anxia frowning as he looked at the racket, he realized something.

After a brief period of hesitation and struggle, Kato Nobuto made up his mind to give his most beloved racket to Chen Anxia.

Kato Warito is completely certain of Chen Anxia's talent and future.

Therefore, in Kato Nuanren's view, rather than letting his most beloved racket gather dust along with him, he would rather let it shine alongside Chen Anxia.

Perhaps one day in the future, when Chen Anxia ascends the throne, his most beloved racket will also ascend the throne along with him.

This is its best destiny...

Just as Chen Anxia was about to withdraw from the match, Kato Waren spoke first, saying, "Anxia, ​​use my racket."

Chen Anxia was stunned for a moment after hearing Kato Nuan's words, seemingly not expecting Kato Nuan to take such a step.

Just as Kato Nobuto understands Chen Anxia, ​​Chen Anxia, ​​through chatting with Kato Nobuto, also knows how much Kato Nobuto cherishes his racket.

In Chen Anxia's view, Kato Nobuto, who cherishes his racket so much, would not lend it to others.

But the truth is...

While Chen Anxia was still in a daze, Kato Nuanren walked towards Chen Anxia with his tennis bag and handed it to him without hesitation.

Subconsciously, she took Kato Warito's tennis bag and glanced at it.

Typically, custom-made tennis bags will have the user's name engraved on them.

However, on Kato Warito's tennis bag, instead of his own name, the word 'sunshine' was engraved.

Because Kato Nuanren had mentioned it before, Chen Anxia knew that the true meaning of this 'sunshine' was 'warmth to the heart,' which secretly contained Kato Nuanren's name.

On the other side, the audience in the spectator area couldn't help but be surprised after seeing this scene.

"Coach Kato actually lent his 'sunshine' to Chen Anxia?"

"Isn't Coach Kato the one who cherishes his racket the most? He usually won't even let anyone touch it, but now he's willing to lend it to Chen Anxia? Unbelievable!"

“I once heard the club’s racket maintainer say that Coach Kato’s ‘Sunshine’ racket was a famous racket personally crafted by the late Master Otsu. Some professional players even offered to buy it, but Coach Kato refused them all.”

"So, does Coach Kato's willingness to lend 'Sunshine' to Chen Anxia mean that he recognizes Chen Anxia's potential and talent?"

"It's too complicated, I don't understand it at all. I'd better just focus on watching the game."

......

While the audience in the stands were buzzing with discussion, Kanade Mitani in the arena was also watching the scene unfold in astonishment.

Kanade Mitani had naturally heard about the famous auction house's 'Sunshine'. She even tried many ways to borrow 'Sunshine' from Waruto Kato to test the auction house's capabilities, but all her attempts failed.

Kanade Mitani never expected that Warm-to Kato would actually lend 'Sunshine' to Anxia Chen.

In his mind, Kanade Mitani couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

'Could it be that Chen Anxia and Coach Kato have some special relationship, like being relatives or something...?'

Little did they know that Kato Warito's intention was not simply to lend 'Sunshine' to Chen Anxia, ​​but to give 'Sunshine' to Chen Anxia in person.

Of course, Chen Anxia is unaware of this at the moment.

And the legend of the famous auction house 'Sunshine' began at this moment...
