Chapter 169 Sparring
Fireworks rose into the sky right on time, exploding into beautiful and dazzling fireworks. The flashes of light that streaked across the sky were fleeting yet incredibly brilliant, a beautiful sight that made people feel from the bottom of their hearts was no less magnificent than natural scenery.
The tense atmosphere within the team was briefly suppressed. Nakamichi Kazushi looked at Horikoshi Yumi, who had been sulking, unaware that she had just escaped death.
Now, though no longer young, her still-charming profile is illuminated by the exploding flames in the sky, her eyes reflecting the beauty of the heavens, glistening with tears.
If this woman weren't so willful, and hadn't bothered him and his fiancée after the breakup, she wouldn't be so annoying.
Wait, tears?
He, Nakamichi, guaranteed with his many years of experience as a criminal investigator that those were absolutely genuine tears, and not the kind that come from blinking because of dry eyes.
For a moment, Nakamichi Kazushi fell into deep thought.
The fireworks display was ultimately short-lived. Akutagawa hadn't had enough, and the explosions in the sky gradually quieted down, replaced by an increasingly noisy environment.
"Alright, alright, the fireworks display is over, it's time for our last activity!"
Although he felt a little uneasy, Nakamichi Kazushi did not intend to give up on the plan. First, he wanted to see if Kogoro Mouri had become complacent over the years, and second, he genuinely felt that a detective should hone his skills.
Especially detectives who have little background but are very famous and capable.
As expected of a judo master who won the national championship back in the day, Nakamichi Kazushi was still very strong even though his spirits had been dampened. Omura Jun and Ayashiro Yukio were defeated almost instantly, and could be said to have no chance to fight back.
However, when he encountered Kogoro Mouri, he didn't last two rounds and was directly subdued by a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.
Akutagawa Hiko could see clearly that Nakamichi Kazushi's spirit and skills were no match for Kogoro Mouri, who seemed to be living a life of debauchery. If it weren't for his superior physical attributes, he might have been taken down by an over-the-shoulder throw right from the start.
Nakamichi Kazushi lay on the ground for a while, covering his face with his arm, his voice full of frustration, yet also as if he had let go of something: "I still can't beat you, you judo club genius Sanshiro."
It's fine when he's bragging, but when he actually hears that title from someone else, Kogoro Mouri blushes a little. Seeing that his old classmate has given up on that plan, he reaches out and helps him up.
"You rascal, isn't this perfect?"
Faced with Kazushi Nakamichi's invitation, Hiko Akutagawa also assumed a fighting stance that seemed full of flaws to professionals. Jun Omura and Yukio Ayashiro felt that if they went up there, they could subdue this famous detective in an instant.
But those who have witnessed Akutagawa Hiko's fighting prowess wouldn't think that way, like Conan.
"Never mind any moves, attack using the method you're best at!"
Having taken on the task of teaching detectives, Nakamichi Kazushi adopted the demeanor of a mentor, abandoning the initiative that his school of thought, which was most valued except for its strength in defense and counter-attack, had abandoned.
The best way
Does it count as starting by throwing a Fireball Jutsu to test the waters? Many Konoha ninjas do this.
Akutagawa Hiko had no grudge against the braised egg in front of him, and he couldn't comment on the conflict between this person and Horikoshi Yumi, so he didn't want to kill anyone. So he simply rushed over and threw a simple straight punch.
From Nakamichi Kazushi's perspective, this seemingly simple punch was aimed entirely at killing him. The terrifying pressure made it difficult for him to move or dodge, and he could only barely raise his arms to cross and defend.
Immediately afterwards, he was sent flying.
Nakamichi Kazushi gasped. His arms were swollen and red, a terrible sight. Years of experience told him that his hands were not seriously injured, but they would be in pain for a long time.
Moreover, the young man opposite him clearly held back at the end, otherwise, he would be in more than just pain now.
For a moment, Nakamichi Kazushi's expression was very complicated. He didn't need to worry about the safety of the famous detective. What he needed to worry about was whether he could be brought to the Metropolitan Police Department intact if the criminal attacked him.
However, so far there have been no reports of this detective physically assaulting criminals, so he seems to be quite rational.
After the match ended, seeing that Nakamichi and Kazushi were not seriously injured, the others breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, they could see that Akutagawa Hiko had held back, which reminded them of the rumors about catching bullets with their bare hands, dismantling cement pillars with their bare hands, and splitting bullets with a knife. Although they had never seen such a person with their own eyes, the senior members of the judo club were very confident.
No matter how you look at it, that's just too exaggerated.
Now that they've seen Akutagawa Hiko make a move, they're more inclined to believe that such a superhuman truly exists. After all, the person in front of them is known for his intellect. Ayashiro Noriko also seems a bit itchy to fight, pulling Horikoshi Yumi along, wanting to have a go at it. However, this is quite difficult for her, as she hasn't practiced since leaving the club.
After being rejected, Noriko Ayashiro wasn't annoyed. She looked at Ran beside her and said, "By the way, Ran, you've practiced karate, right? Let's have a spar."
Ran, who was discussing with Akutagawa Hiko about that seemingly effortless straight punch that relied entirely on numerical values, was somewhat bewildered. She pointed to herself and said, "Me—me?"
"Yeah, I heard you're really good. You'll have to go easy on me next time."
Noriko Ayashiro clasped her hands together, stuck out her tongue, and pleaded.
Xiao Lan stepped forward, bowed, assumed a fighting stance, and then shouted loudly before launching a fierce attack.
Although Noriko Ayashiro is more experienced, over the years she has only ever engaged in playful, non-aggressive competitions with her husband.
They quickly showed signs of defeat under Xiaolan's fierce attacks.
"Xiao Lan is so cool!"
Sonoko Suzuki had seen Ran's karate before, but every time she thought it was especially cool. Today was different from usual.
The fighting power around them was a bit too high; even the older man seemed very different from before.
"Ah Yan, do you think I should learn this skill too?"
Faced with Sonoko Suzuki's sudden idea, Hiko Akutagawa felt that it was very feasible.
To be honest, this world is very unsafe. Even though Sonoko Suzuki has the entire Suzuki Group as her backing, those desperate criminals often don't care about her identity.
Even if you can't bend a utility pole with your bare hands like Xiaolan after practicing, it will still greatly improve your escape ability.
"If you feel you can handle the hardship of training, I personally suggest you choose a suitable one."
Sonoko Suzuki's eyes gleamed. Surrounded by such a group of impressive people, she seemed to have no advantages other than being rich, beautiful, and having a good figure. Perhaps she should work on those skills.
I've heard that people who exercise have better figures and skin, so wouldn't she be even more attractive?!
