The three little ones were chattering, clamoring for Xiao Yu to join the "Youth Detective Team". Hui Yuan sighed and said, "Even if you say so, the leader of the team must nod."
Now, Ling is the leader of the "Youth Detective Team".
Xiao Yu also said: "'Youth Detective Team'? It sounds very interesting. Do I need the permission of the team leader to join? Where is the team leader?"
When he first arrived, he noticed that Ling was not here, but he kept it quiet for fear of arousing suspicion.
Yoshida Ayumi smiled and said: "The leader went to the gym today for a martial arts assessment, so he is not here!"
"Assessment?"
Xiao Yu was puzzled for a moment, and then quickly connected to the Internet and started looking up information.
Oh, it turns out that when the apprentices of the Japanese Gymnasium reach a certain level, they will undergo a passing assessment. After passing the examination, they will be awarded the corresponding passing position by the sect.
"I see, but Ling is only seven years old, and the martial arts assessment is very strict. Can a seven-year-old girl pass?"
Xiao Yu asked.
Hui Yuan Ai was slightly startled.
She is not surprised that Xiao Yu knows that Ling is only seven years old, nor is she surprised that Xiao Yu knows that Ling is the leader. Xiao Yu can clearly distinguish Yoshida Ayumi and others. It can be seen that Xiao Yu should have all the members of the "Youth Detective Team" Information, she was surprised that Xiao Yu called Ling.
Why do they call Conan and others "Edogawa-san", "Yoshida-san", etc., and call them by their first names when they come to Rei? How is this going?
Haibara Ai had doubts in her heart, but Yoshida Ayumi did not feel this way. With an expression of admiration on her face, she said to Xiao Yu: "Others can't do it, but the leader must be fine! Although the leader is only seven years old, But it’s already great! We encountered a group of robbers before, and some robbers wanted to attack us. Classmate Conan knocked down one by playing football, and the leader subdued two of them with his bare hands. The leader is super awesome!"
"Yes, yes, the leader is very powerful!"
Genta Kojima and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya also nodded desperately.
Conan on the side pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "Martial artists are all a bunch of unscientific monsters..."
He could only kill one adult male even after using Ashiki once, but Ling was able to kill two with her bare hands, which made Conan deeply doubt the world.
Xiao Yu thought about it and felt a little unwilling to not see Ling, so he suggested: "Then, can I go and take a look at the assessment?"
The three little ones were silent. They looked left and right, somewhat undecided.
They are usually very courageous, but they are both respectful and afraid of Ling. They are actually very curious about Ling's sword test, but they are afraid of disturbing Ling, so they don't go to watch.
"I advise you not to go, you will be kicked out."
Conan said to the three little ones.
Mao Lilan has also participated in this kind of martial arts assessment. When Conan was still Kudo Shinichi, Mao Lilan participated in a secret assessment of Shotokan-ryu karate. He originally wanted to watch and cheer, but was beaten by the masters of the gym. They were driven out (luckily they were driven out, otherwise a few lives would not have been taken away).
Later, Mao Lilan explained to Kudo Shinichi that it turns out that internal assessments of this kind of school generally do not allow outsiders to visit, because many unique skills of the school will be demonstrated during the process, and if it is made public, it can easily be stolen by outsiders.
"That's it..."
The three little ones sighed and gave up completely.
"Don't be discouraged so early. I'll go and ask. Maybe I can go."
Yan Kai's voice came from behind the three little ones, which cheered them up: "Ah, big brother Yan Kai!"
Conan was a little surprised, why did this man always appear and disappear?
Even Hui Yuan Ai was a little curious as to why Yan Kai appeared at this time.
Yan Kai didn't want to, but today was Xiao Yu's first day in front of the "Youth Detective Team". With Conan, a suspicious fake kid, he had to be wary of Conan recognizing Xiao Yu, so he could only follow him, if necessary Give Conan a "shot" when the time comes.
Hey, before you know it, Yan Kai, who can say "none of my business" to anything, has become a bit like an old woman. She has to take care of this and that.
The three little ones are not as suspicious as Hui Yuan Ai and Conan. They were very happy when they heard Yan Kai say that he could take them to watch Ling's assessment: "Brother Yan Kai, can you really take us to watch the team leader's assessment? "
"I'll ask Seiko, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Yan Kai said to several people.
Before, Kudo Shinichi didn't even know anyone from the Shotokan style, so he wanted to sneak in and watch their assessment. It was already good without getting beaten. Yan Kai knew Busujima Saeko, the young master of the Busujima style. He wanted to inform him and bring some children with him. Isn’t it convenient to go in?
"Very good!"
The three little ones jumped up happily, while Conan on the side twitched the corner of his mouth. He always felt like he was despised?
"Great, I'll do the navigation!"
Xiao Yu was also very happy, and he excitedly called up the location of the Busushima Gym.
I said, you are acting too obviously!
Yan Kai glanced at Xiao Yu on Hui Yuan Ai's chest, while Hui Yuan Ai subconsciously took a step back and even covered his chest with his hands.
Having someone stare at her chest all the time, Haihara Ai always felt a little weird.
With Yan Kai's support, the members of the "Young Detective Team" immediately set off towards the branch gym of Busujima Swordsmanship.
Before going, Yan Kai asked Busujima Saeko. When Busujima Saeko heard that Yan Kai was coming with the "Young Detective Team", he agreed without thinking, and also told Yan Kai the location of the assessment.
The internal assessment of martial arts schools really pays great attention to confidentiality, and they should be wary of people with ulterior motives secretly learning their martial arts. But Yan Kai leads a group of children, so naturally there is no such problem. As for Yan Kai... Busujima Saeko and Yan Kai are competing. Many times, Yan Kai was almost convinced that Busujima Saeko himself wanted to be familiar with the Busujima-ryu swordsmanship, so why not prevent him from doing anything!
There were no disturbances, and there were no cases such as murders, robberies, bombings, etc. on the way. The group arrived safely at the Busujima Branch Gym where the assessment was being conducted.
"call……"
Yan Kai let out a breath. He was on tenterhooks all the way, fearing that someone would suddenly shout "Someone is dead" on the roadside. After all, he had to guard against this kind of thing with Conan.
Walking to the door of the gym, two adult men wearing kendo uniforms were guarding the door with wooden swords. There was also a sign on the closed door that read "Internal assessment, no outsiders allowed."
They are all official disciples of the Busujima style and are responsible for guarding the gymnasium during the assessment.
Seeing Yan Kai leading a group of children over, a disciple immediately stepped forward and said to Yan Kai with his wooden sword horizontally: "I'm sorry, the museum is closed today. If you want to sign up to learn kendo, please wait until tomorrow."
He regarded Yan Kai and the children of the "Young Detective Group" as people who came to the gym to sign up to learn.
Since Busujima Saeko became famous in the "Kuisei Banner" and "Yade Dragon Banner", more and more people have come to Busujima Ryu Dojo to sign up to study, especially high school and junior high school students. Of course, there are also many elementary school students, and they are not surprised. Strange.
Yan Kai smiled: "I'm sorry, we are not here to sign up to study, but we are invited by your gym, Busujima Saeko Normal School, to watch the internal assessment of Busujima Ryu."
Yan Kai's answer stunned the disciple for a moment.
Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to visit the internal assessments of each school, but occasionally, friendly schools will be invited to visit to show their allies the power of the new generation of their school. This is also an important means of communication between schools, but today it is only in Tokyo. The regional "paper-cutting" assessment is an intermediate assessment among genre assessments. Under normal circumstances, it must be at least a "catalogue" assessment before outsiders are invited to watch. The "paper-cutting" assessment... to be honest, there is nothing interesting to see, and it is not worth it. Invite others to watch.
but……
This disciple looked at Yan Kai's school uniform. Well, it was the uniform of the private Shenjian School. He was from the same school as his young master. Could it be that he was a friend of the young master?
Putting away the wooden sword, the disciple bowed to Yan Kai: "Classmate, please wait a moment and allow me to ask for instructions."
After saying that, he walked into the gym.
The remaining disciple also bowed to Yan Kai, and then stared at Yan Kai closely.
Yan Kai is not surprised. Each school has its own rules and respects each other's rules. This is also one of the etiquettes of walking in the world. Of course, if it is too outrageous, don't worry about it.
The silent atmosphere made the three children of the "Youth Detective Team" a little uneasy. Yoshida Ayumi pulled Yan Kai's sleeves and said to Yan Kai worriedly: "Brother Yan Kai, are you not going to let us in? "
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Yan Kai touched Yoshida Ayumi's head.
If he had asked Busujima Saeko, Yan Kai was still not sure, but he came here after obtaining Busujima Saeko's consent. How could he be turned away?
Sure enough, not long after, the door of the gym opened, and Busujima Saeko, who was wearing a kendo uniform, ran out in small steps. When he saw Yan Kai, he smiled happily: "Kai-kun!"
"Zezi."
Yan Kai smiled and nodded to Busujima Saeko.
When the disciples outside the door saw Busujima Saeko greeting Yan Kai warmly, their hearts suddenly froze.
My young master has always been a dignified and ladylike person. He treats the disciples in the gym cordially but not enthusiastically, and he has never shown such a disgraceful smile.
Could it be said that the flower of the high mountains of my school... has been plucked?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Looking at Yan Kai's appearance, I felt like I was being raped by him. How could a guy like him be worthy of being the young master! It would be better to replace him with the young head of the Beishan family!
"The assessment is still in progress. Are you okay when you come out?"
Yan Kai asked Busujima Saeko.
"It doesn't matter." Busujima Saeko said with a smile, "The verbal talks and martial arts performances are over. What's left is actual combat. Now is the preparation stage for actual combat, so it's fine if I leave for a while. And since you're here, Kai-kun, I won't be there personally." It just doesn’t make sense to come to greet you.”
After talking to Yan Kai for a while, Busujima Saeko lowered his head and looked at the children of the "Young Detective Team".
"Are you here to see Ling's assessment? Let me first thank you for your concern on Ling's behalf."
"No, you're welcome..."
Yoshida Ayumi said calmly, while thinking in her heart, what a beautiful big sister, I really hope to become like her in the future!
Kasumigaoka Shiha, Natsukawa Masuo, Teruhashi Koumi, Mouri Ran... Although Yoshida Ayumi has seen many beautiful high school girls with very good manners and temperament, only when facing Busujima Saeko, Only Ayumi Yoshida has a strong urge to become such a girl.
Japanese female role models refer to girls like Busujima Saeko.
Busujima Saeko's eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled, and she touched Yoshida Ayumi's head and said, "What a good boy!"
After saying hello, Busujima Saeko brought Yan Kai and others into the gym.
After entering the gym, Yan Kai and others saw many young people gearing up. They were obviously apprentices taking part in the assessment.
Of course, the internal assessment cannot be held for a single apprentice. The internal assessment of the Busujima style is held every three months. A large number of apprentices will participate in the assessment every time, and Ling is just one of them.
"Zezi, how was Ling's performance in the assessment?"
Yan Kai asked Busujima Saeko.
"Absolutely perfect."
Busujima Saeko, who has always been humble and polite, did not hesitate to praise Ling this time, because Ling's performance was indeed impeccable.
"I got full marks for speaking and martial arts. Originally, I wanted to avoid suspicion and just give me an 'above average' rating, but in the end, several senior brothers and sisters all gave me a 'special grade' rating, which makes me look a bit petty."
Busujima Saeko covered her mouth and chuckled.
The so-called oral talk means that the normal school uses a question and answer method to test the students' understanding of the essence of the Busujima-style swordsmanship, while the martial arts is to demonstrate the moves of the Busujima-style swordsmanship one by one in front of the normal school. Both of these are considered literary tests. For Ling, who has super memory and understanding, it is just like playing.
"The leader is so awesome!"
The three little ones all showed proud expressions.
"However, I remember that the most important part of the assessment is actual combat. If you lose in actual combat, all the previous results will be meaningless."
Conan poured cold water on him. He remembered what Mao Lilan said before. The actual combat examination is a duel between all students who have passed oral talks and martial arts. The winner will pass, and the loser will be considered a failure. There is no reason at all. It seems to mean that luck will be used. It is also considered as part of the assessment.
Most of the apprentices preparing for the assessment in the gym are over ten years old, and some are even high school students, and most of them are boys. The advantages of age and gender are there. Ling has learned martial arts for no more than a year, no matter what. He is extremely talented, and if he is unlucky enough to meet a high school student apprentice, he will probably fail. Now Ling is not facing ordinary people who rely on their physical strength to show off their ferocity, but warriors who also learn swordsmanship. Conan doesn't think Ling Even under such conditions, you can defeat your opponent.
"Conan!"
The three little ones glared at Conan.
"Okay, I'll just talk casually..."
Knowing that he had provoked public anger, Conan immediately shut his mouth obediently.
"Ah, I found it! Ling is there!"
Hui Yuan Ai walked around the gym and finally found Ling among a bunch of apprentices.
Ling is the youngest and smallest among all the apprentices. It is really difficult to find her among a bunch of big and thick apprentices.
The three little ones looked in the direction of Hui Yuan Ai's sight, and sure enough they saw Ling who was wearing protective gear. The three of them immediately said excitedly: "Captain! Come on! Commander! Come on!"
Ling had already put on other protective gear, except for her face. When she heard the voices of the three little ones, she couldn't help but raise her head with a funny expression: "Really, can't you just let me be clean for a moment!"
Although she was complaining, the expression on Ling's face was one of uncontrollable joy.
Very good, I will be more motivated after a while of actual combat!
Xiao Yu also saw Ling. He also wanted to shout "Come on", but he felt it was inappropriate, so he could only hold it in. Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head and glanced at Xiao Yu on his chest, and saw that the smiling face on the badge had been twisted into a group.
Haibara Ai:"???"
What on earth am I wearing?
Preparations for the actual battle were quickly completed. The apprentices of the first group of duels stood in the center of the dojo. The two first bowed to each other in accordance with the etiquette of the kendo competition, and then began the actual combat assessment.
"Winning or losing...begin!"
A Busushima-ryu disciple who was acting as a temporary referee had just lowered his raised arm when one of the two apprentices suddenly fell heavily to the ground, leaving his opponent standing there helplessly.
He hadn't even made a move yet, so why did the other person fall down? what is this? Is it porcelain?
"what happened?"
Immediately, a disciple came forward to check and untied the fallen apprentice's face, revealing his purple-green face and dull eyes.
"Is this...poisoning?"
The disciple lost his voice in shock.
"What! Someone was poisoned?"
All of a sudden, all the apprentices in the gym exploded, and Yan Kai looked at Conan immediately.
Conan was eager to take action when he saw something happened, and suddenly noticed the strange look in Yan Kai's eyes: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's nothing." Yan Kai sighed, "I'm wondering if recognizing you now can alleviate the situation a little bit..."
If I had known he should have brought Conan into the gym, it was a mistake!
