Conan: Start from Lucky Three

Chapter 24: What are you looking for Kudo? Come and fencing with me!
After making the decision, Tachibana Shizuka did not rush to conduct a second investigation. As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little, and too much is as slow as waste.

Patience is a good quality no matter what the situation.

What Tachibana Seiji lacks the least now is patience. How long has it been since he came here?

So for the next two months, Tachibana Shizuka continued to train with Xiaolan. After two months of inhumanly intense training, Tachibana Shizuka frequently used his quick recovery talent and successfully removed the "weak" after quick recovery, so his talent became "Quick Recovery·Normal".

After observing that the suffix "weak" was replaced by "ordinary", Tachibana Shizuka realized that since there were suffixes like "weak" and "ordinary", would there be suffixes like "excellent", "extremely effective" and "extraordinary"?

Xiaolan is already surprised by the normal recovery speed now, so if it goes up one or two levels, wouldn’t that be amazing?
Of course, the advancement of talent is not all about advantages and no disadvantages. Under the influence of the two energy-consuming things, rapid recovery and moment of insight, Tachibana Seiji's appetite has increased sharply. It can be seen that he can eat at least two or three times the amount of his previous self in one meal.

This also caused Tachibana Shizuka's food expenses to rise sharply.

Not only that, perhaps the system sensed Tachibana Shizuka's determination and made judgments based on his daily behavior, so the reward for the last three choices was also distributed in a timely manner.

This also means that Tachibana Shizuka has added a new skill, "Pistol Defensive Shooting (Beginner)", and his character card has become like this:

[Character card: Tachibana Shizuka
Information: Rice Flower Man, 17 years old

Status: Mortal body. Healthy
Occupation: Student

Talent: Rapid Recovery, Normal, Insight
Title: None
skill:
Bomb Disposal (Beginner)
Pistol Defensive Shooting (Proficient)

Although the knowledge imparted by the system saved Tachibana Shizuka the time needed to learn the knowledge, the corresponding muscle memory was not imparted at the same time.

However, compared to practicing a skill from scratch, the knowledge taught systematically can greatly reduce the time required for Shizuka Tachibana to form muscle memory.

That is to say, when practicing skills that have been taught by the system, there will be a bonus in terms of proficiency.

This means that if Tachibana Shizuka wants to quickly master the beginner's pistol shooting, he needs to practice with real guns and bullets.

If this were an ordinary, everyday world, it wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't learn how to shoot. But this was Beika, Japan's own sin city.

Tachibana Shizuka would definitely feel uneasy in a place like this without some powerful self-defense weapons, not to mention that there is a winery over there that has a complicated relationship with Conan.

Since Tachibana Shizuka has set his sights on Xiaolan, it means that he will eventually get involved in the affairs between Kudo and the winery.

Whether it is for Xiaolan, for himself, or for their future, the use of firearms is necessary.

It's better to be safe than sorry. It's fine if you don't need it, but if you need a gun to defend yourself but don't know how to use it, then you're stuck, right?

Therefore, Tachibana Shizuka also needs to quickly become proficient in the use of firearms - since the system can reward basic knowledge, there should be subsequent advanced knowledge as well.

So Shizuka Tachibana spent a lot of money to find a shooting club in Tokyo that provided live-fire shooting training, registered as a member, and went to practice every now and then.

The reason why it is said that a lot of money was spent is actually that the club membership fee is nothing to Tachibana Shizuka. The main reason is that a lot of money was spent on buying bullets for each training session.

The basic knowledge of pistol defensive shooting given by the system is not a single shooting method, but a knowledge gift package that is packed into one package and given to Tachibana Shizuka.

This knowledge wasn't just about shooting; it encompassed shooting posture, gun grip, reloading techniques, tactical aiming, and even various footwork, hand-changing positions, firearm maintenance and repair, etc. This meant that Tachibana Shizuka needed more bullets to quickly master various shooting methods and tactical movements and thinking.

It is well known that sharpshooters are fed by bullets, and Tachibana Shizuka is indeed very talented in shooting. This can be seen from the fact that he was able to improve his pistol defensive shooting skills from beginner to proficient in less than two months.

Unfortunately, upgrading to proficiency is already the limit of what Tachibana Shizuka can achieve at the moment. During this period of time, he has been hitting the target, and the target will not fight back.

If you want to continue to improve your skill proficiency, then a satisfying actual combat is essential.

If you have never fought with an enemy who can fight back, how do you know how much psychological pressure a bullet passing by your ear will bring to you?
After two months of spending money like water, Tachibana Shizuka realized that he had to find a way to make money.

It is impossible for him to work. A week's hard work is not enough for him to spend an afternoon at the shooting club.

So now he needs some "jobs" that can make money quickly but with low risks.

It happened that in the reading room, Tachibana Seiji saw today's newspaper, and a piece of news reported in it caught his attention.

"This is it." Tachibana Shizuka returned the newspaper and went back to the classroom to pack his schoolbag.

"Sonoko, I have something to do today so I won't be going to training. Remember to tell Ran for me later." When Tachibana Seiji passed by Class B, he happened to see Sonoko cleaning, so he knocked on the door and shouted inside.

"I know, I know. I'll tell Lan later." Yuanzi raised his hand lazily: "I really don't know why boys like playing with guns so much?"

For two months, Sonoko has been puzzled by Shizuka Tachibana's full schedule, so out of curiosity one day, Shizuka Tachibana takes Sonoko and Ran to the shooting club.

Unfortunately, neither Xiaolan nor Sonoko was very interested in shooting. After playing for one afternoon, they never came back again.

So Sonoko also knew what Tachibana Seiji had been busy with in the past two months.

As Tachibana Shizuka was leaving the teaching building and walking towards the school gate, he suddenly noticed a figure that looked out of place.

This figure looked to be their same age, but he was not wearing the Teitan High School uniform. Of course, this was not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that this high school student's skin color, which is extremely eye-catching during the day and blends perfectly into the darkness at night, caught the attention of Tachibana Shizuka.

Yeah? That can't be such a coincidence, right?

Subconsciously, Tachibana Shizuka entered a moment of insight, and all the details of the dark-skinned high school student in front of him were clearly visible to him.

After a moment, Tachibana Shizuka walked towards the dark-skinned high school student.

"Classmate, are you here to look for someone?"

"Hey! This is really helpful! Excuse me, classmate, do you know where Class B of the second grade is?"

The dark-skinned high school student spoke with an authentic Kansai accent, and despite his skin color, he looked very similar to Kudo Shinichi.
It's you, Hattori Heiji! Come and fight me!
