Round 149 -- The Strongest Sho-Dan

Hikaru and Akira promised to play Go together, but they always have different opinion, and thus they quarrelled every now and then (in the funny and cute way XD). In one match against a 3-Dan, hikaru's opponent commented to Waya that Hikaru is the strongest first-dan. Meanwhile Waya heard about the Hokuto Cup, it's a competition between Japan, China, Korea under 18. Waya was excited, not until he saw Hikaru. He knew that to get one of the 3 seats, he might have to play against Hikaru.

Round 150 -- New Stage

Akira was playing against 9-Dan, and managed to defeat him. Everyone else commented that Akira see more than what they could see, that's why he could put up a great move. Actually Hikaru, who was there, also managed to think the same step as Akira. Hikaru wanted a match just as exciting as that.

Round 151 -- There's Still Me!

Hikaru got to know Hokuto Cup, so do Isumi, who was excited about it until he realised it was under 18 competition. Waya was all determined to get one of the 3 seats. While Isumi is all excited to wait Waya VS Rei Pin match ^^; Hikaru was surprised to know that Akira already get one of the seat automatically. Hikaru decided to stop meeting Akira until the Hokuto cup prelim ended. He determined to get one of the seat. He also told everyone that he will attain the Hand of God.

Round 152 -- Opponent is 7-Dan

Hikaru finally got a chance to play against higher Dan people. His first match against 7-Dan was actually a familiar face. It was Gokiso, the guy who sold fake Shusaku Go board.

Round 153 -- One Step Forward

Hikaru managed to kick Gokiso butt. XDD

Round 154 -- Uejima Entrance

Uejima, a new Go club member. He claimed to play many Go, but stupidly enough that he is extremely weak.

Round 155 -- The Missing Two

Isumi is having his Shin-Sho-Dan match against Kuwabara. Kuwabara was teasing Isumi, while Isumi just blushed away~ ^^; Meanwhile, on the way to watch Isumi match, Hikaru met Kadowaki. Kadowaki told Hikaru about how he respect Hikaru, but was disappointed when Hikaru lost 3 matches in Pro Exam, and horrible Shin-Sho-Dan match, plus Hikaru was skipping class and so on. Kadowaki didn't know whether he should still respect Hikaru. Hikaru asked Kadowaki for a rematch.

Round 156 -- Hikaru VS Kadowaki

Hikaru VS Kadowaki match began. While Isumi showed his strength to Kuwabara.
