The Almighty Chuunibyou Expert

"Hahaha, so you finally understand! It's futile to try and stop us! Sing praises to the glorious Far East Magic Society!"

Takanashi Rikka stood up from the tatami mat, declaring grandly to everyone.

"Tch, it has nothing to do with you anyway."

"You're just a bystander, what are you being so arrogant for?"

"Who's this brat?"

Her words stirred up a commotion in the crowd, and they glared at her angrily.

"Takanashi-san, don't be too arrogant! You'll really get hit!"

Fujiwara Chika stood up and covered Rikka's mouth, whispering in her ear.

"They're just mortals. Before my Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King, they don't even have the right to move."

"Huh? What's this Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King?"

"The Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King is..."

Ignoring the two girls whispering in the corner.

"I accept this defeat wholeheartedly. To think you could defeat me when I placed my first stone on Tengen, it shows there's a considerable gap in our Go skills."

Watanabe Yoshitaka extended his hand from the side.

Hasegawa Izumi didn't show any displeasure and shook his hand out of politeness.

"To possess such skill at your age, your talent in Go is unfathomable. If you're willing, I hope you'll join my Go academy for further study. I believe you're a man who can carry the future of Tou-ei's Go world! Fame and fortune will be yours for the taking!"

Despite his defeat, Watanabe Yoshitaka felt a desire to recruit him, appealing to both emotion and self-interest.

But that wasn't what he wanted, so he flatly refused.

"Sorry, I don't have any such aspirations."

Hasegawa Izumi said, then walked out of the Go Club.

"Rikka, Chika, we should go."

Inside the room.

"Damn, the Club President actually lost to that guy? And a complete defeat!"

"What Heaven and Earth Unite? I thought he was a newbie, I didn't expect his Go skill to be that strong."

"Speaking of which, Club President, was the chessboard emitting golden light when you were playing?"

"You saw it too? I thought I was imagining things."

"Really? No way! Could it be the legendary aura that causes hallucinations?"

The Go Club members, who had been holding back, started discussing amongst themselves.

Hasegawa and the others arrived at the News Department.

"Club President."

Ki Karen and Kyose Erika put down their work and came to greet them. They then received the result of the match from Asahi Shizuku, both feeling it was beyond their expectations.

Someone with no recorded Go matches defeating a professional-level master? This was too outrageous!

Did he secretly learn online?

That would still be amazing!

Suddenly, their perception of Hasegawa Izumi, the 'madman,' was elevated to 'a madman with actual skill.'

After the result was out, they started the second round of interviews.

The content wasn't particularly new, as they had already exchanged trash talk before. So, they just recorded his thoughts and experiences during the game, followed by his next target.

"Then, the Tennis Club."

Hasegawa Izumi chose a more significant opponent after considering for a moment.

Compared to the Go Club, a club for a traditional sport like this held more status and fame. Defeating them would cause a bigger sensation and make everyone take this matter more seriously.

Until all the significant opponents were defeated, the Far East Magic Society would reach the top position in all aspects!

"Please welcome the next victim."

He added some trash talk, causing the girls to burst into laughter.

"Pfft..."

"Right, this is the information on the Tennis Club's president... This should increase your chances of winning. The challenge difficulty for the Tennis Club should be higher than the Go Club."

Asahi Shizuku placed a list of information she had collected on the table and slid it towards him with her finger.

"No need. If he could shoot 'Light Orbs,' create 'Black Holes,' or enter the state of 'Seamlessness,' then I might consider it more seriously."

He left without any intention of looking, his demeanor carefree.

"Do you, do you guys understand what he's saying?"

Asahi Shizuku asked, turning to them with a bewildered expression.

"Not at all."

Kyose Erika shook her head.

"It's normal for us not to keep up with chuunibyou thinking. If we did, that would be the real problem!"

Ki Karen said.

"Mmm... Mmm..."

It resonated with everyone.

"Snap."

The door closed.

The three walked down the hallway.

"That's great, it's a very good start. Maybe Izumi-chan will really achieve that grand goal."

After seeing the astonishing performance, Fujiwara Chika's expectations for him suddenly rose to another level.

"Fortunately, Izumi-chan isn't planning to challenge our Tabletop Game Club? Otherwise, I feel like we'd be embarrassed in front of the whole school!"

The girl showed a look of relief.

"Don't worry, the Tabletop Game Club isn't qualified yet."

Hasegawa Izumi tried to comfort her.

"Izumi-chan, you're too mean! How dare you look down on me! No, starting next week, Izumi-chan, you have to play games with me during lunch break!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly spoke fiercely again, her cheeks puffed out, wanting to increase her chances of winning through multiple challenges.

This woman's competitive spirit in games is truly strong!

"If I have time, it's not impossible."

He was indifferent, even a little expectant.

However, he was only expecting to see what kind of cheating methods Chika would use.

Not long after.

News of the Go Club's defeat spread like wildfire through various chat groups and private messages.

The performance of Shuchiin's number one fanatic exceeded everyone's expectations. With the promotion from the News Department, it was confirmed that the next target of challenge would be the Tennis Club. Since it was already holiday season, the match was set for the following Monday.

The sun set, and the twilight glowed on the tennis court.

After finishing their practice match, the members of the Tennis Club were picking up balls, preparing to pack up and go home.

The Club President of the Tennis Club was a tall, well-built man named Kawamura Kentaro. He had been a singles player in junior high and had reached the national tournament, earning him considerable respect.

"Club President, something big has happened!"

Suddenly, a first-year student who was looking at his phone stood up and shouted at Kawamura Kentaro.

"What is it?"

Kawamura Kentaro walked over, looking confused.

He then learned from the student that he had been chosen as the second target for a challenge.

"Heh heh, they just beat the Go Club, what's there to be afraid of! How can people who use their brains compete with my well-trained muscles?"

He didn't care at all. He raised his right hand, displaying his smooth, bulging, and powerful muscles.

"To become a true strong person, you should have confidence in yourself and not panic easily!"

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Club President!"

"Nani? Is that for real? Am I seeing this correctly?"

On the train home, Nibuya Morika saw the news spreading like wildfire on her social media feed, her face showing an expression of disbelief. Her tail, slightly spread, didn't close for a moment.

What is chuunibyou?

Isn't it just people who spend all day dreaming and fantasizing about having special 'powers,' but in reality, they only attract ridicule from others and are often seen as losers?

She, like others, believed even more firmly that the person was just fooling around and talking big. She never expected them to actually act!

Even more unexpected was that they actually succeeded.

"When did this guy learn to play Go? Did he secretly train hard and then amaze everyone? What kind of anime trope is this... By the way, if he's going to continue, he can't possibly be that much of a genius to defeat everyone, right?"

But at this moment, her thoughts only went this far.

After all, in her own sealed memories, Hasegawa, as her guide, hadn't displayed any strength that truly convinced her...

On the other side.

"Wow, that Hasegawa actually won!"

"No way! That guy wouldn't have cheated, would he? I've heard about some pretty nasty cheating methods, like putting things..."

"Uh, hehe, who knows. He's already sent out a second challenge letter, saying he's going to compete with that big guy from the Tennis Club."

"That big guy? Isn't that even harder? And you can't cheat at tennis, right!"

As a Childhood Friend, Eriri, who had joined the Art Club, outwardly acted indifferent to the news about Someone. In reality, she was just too embarrassed to join conversations with others, and her feelings were quite jumbled at the moment.

That idiot actually succeeded in the challenge?

Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

Originally, she had planned to offer some perfunctory comfort to Izumi after his failure, but it seemed she wouldn't be needed after all.

"Speaking of which, where did Izumi learn Go? I had no idea!"

This question arose in the Girl's mind.

As his Childhood Friend, she prided herself on knowing him better than anyone else.

But she had truly never heard anything about this.

So, on her way home, she decided to ask Izumi.

Izumi: "Didn't I already tell you? I dreamed it."

"Heh, you're still trying that trick! You definitely learned it secretly online!"

Looking at this message, Eriri's forehead seemed to display a '#' symbol as she made her judgment and sneered.

Only an idiot would believe that explanation!

After chatting with Eriri, Hasegawa Izumi had arrived at his doorstep.

"Kōko, I'm home."

He opened the door, changed his shoes at the entrance, and entered the living room, where he saw his Little Sister watching anime as usual.

"Hmph, Kōko is merely a false name. My true name is Reciel de Feliciati, the great Progenitor of the Night Blood Clan. Now, I desire to drink fresh blood, hmph hmph hmph... If you do not quickly hand over the Sacrifice, I shall bring disaster upon you!"
