Hikaru no Go Chapter 69 Discussion

love this part, this is where hikaru starting to grow seriously.

                        ----------------------------------------

                        This will be good training for Hikaru to not only get over his fear of playing against older people, but also help him gain more experience in Go in general.

Isumi and Waya take Hikaru to a Go salon to play against some older folks so that he can get some real world practice in. They decide to have a mock tournament and are doing well against their opponents. They start heating things up by giving their opponents more of a handicap. Waya keeps being a smart mouth, but he's dedicated to challenging himself and his teammates for the pro tests to come. Good stuff.
