Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 17 This boy has the heart of a swordsman
Yukio Tanaka was stunned by the scene before him.

It was around six o'clock. Although it was not so dark that you couldn't see anything, the visibility was not high because the alley was blocked by tall buildings on both sides.

The only source of light here was the back door of the building at the end of the alley, which was flickering with a dim light bulb.

So when Mr. Tanaka walked into the alley, the first thing he saw was the bad boy lying on the ground near the entrance of the alley.

One of them looked like he had fainted briefly, and there was a clear long strip of redness and swelling on his face, as if he had been hit in the face with a stick.

Although the other two did not faint, they were wailing on the ground holding their legs, with cold sweat on their faces. It seemed that they had also suffered serious attacks.

Teacher Tanaka subconsciously thought that someone was fighting here, and he didn't want to think that it must be Yuta Manaka who caused the trouble.

But why did he bring Kousaka along? Was he asking him to come and help?
Although Kousaka is a member of the Kendo Club, his strength has indeed improved a lot recently.

but……

Teacher Tanaka subconsciously glanced at the baseball bats, iron rods and other powerful weapons scattered on the ground.

If you want to win in this kind of unscrupulous street fight, knowing kendo alone may not be enough. After all, these people will not follow any kendo rules when fighting. Sometimes they will specifically hit you in the vital parts, and even sneak attacks are normal tactics.

Teacher Tanaka quickly stepped over a person lying on the ground and continued walking inside.

The light bulb at the end of the alley provided some light.

Teacher Tanaka saw a man standing not far away with his back to him. Several people were lying at his feet, groaning in pain.

In front of the figure there was an overturned trash can, and next to the trash can sat a person who looked a bit like Yuta Manaka.

But isn't his hair blond?
Teacher Tanaka shifted his gaze to the figure's back again. He saw that the man was holding a bamboo sword in his hand and breathing slightly. Although his back was facing him, Tanaka could still feel a resolute will from him.

The other party seemed to have noticed him and slowly turned around.

When Tanaka Yukio saw the man's appearance, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Kousaka-san? Why is it you?"

Kosaka Haruhiko also looked surprised. He didn't know why the teacher came here, but he still tried to be polite and said, "They tricked me into coming here and I had a fight."

"Fought...had a fight?" Teacher Tanaka couldn't digest the meaning behind this sentence for a while.

The alley seemed to fall into a brief silence.

Then, Mr. Tanaka suddenly raised his voice and asked, "You mean, you used the bamboo sword in your hand to knock down all these people?"

"Yes, teacher, I don't want to fight either. I just want to protect myself." Haruhiko explained.

Teacher Tanaka swallowed, then glanced at the miserable people lying on the ground and couldn't help asking, "Are you saying that you inflicted the injuries on those people with your bamboo sword? You were alone?"

Kosaka Haruhiko gave a wry smile and said, "Yes, I actually wanted to be gentle, but there were too many of them, so I didn't dare to hold back."

This statement was actually a lie. Haruhiko had no intention of holding back. He even felt that his own strength was too weak and that the fight was not satisfying enough.

Mr. Tanaka was now certain that Haruhiko was not joking with him.

But...how did he do it?
A high school student with average skills in the kendo club, armed with a bamboo sword for practice, can deal with seven or eight bad boys armed with sticks?
This kind of thing sounds like a plot in a hot-blooded comic, but it actually happened in reality.

It's not that Yukio Tanaka hasn't seen strong men who can fight against many people at once. When he was in high school, the captain of their kendo club once did this. He took a bamboo sword and beat the bad guys who came to provoke the kendo club so hard that they couldn't even lift their heads.

However, that senior has been the strongest fighter in the kendo club since he entered the school, and later won the championship of the kendo tournament.

He is a tough guy who is strong from beginning to end.

Although the strength of Kosaka Haruhiko in front of him has improved recently, there is still a big gap compared to that level of tough guys.

Could it be that his anger had reached its peak, unleashing extraordinary strength? Teacher Tanaka couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that?"

"Actually, it was dark in the alley, and my night vision was better, so I was able to knock them down one by one," Haruhiko explained modestly.

That was all Haruhiko could say. He couldn't possibly tell Mr. Tanaka that it was the knight of justice who brought down divine punishment and struck down these people, right?
Teacher Tanaka nodded thoughtfully, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

But seeing that Kosaka-san was fine, he felt relieved: "Don't worry, Kosaka-san, I'll call the police right away."

"Teacher, that's not necessary." Haruhiko quickly stopped him.

"Why? Are we just going to let them go like this? That would be too easy."

A delinquent lying next to the garbage dump almost vomited blood when he heard this. He was clearly beaten up, so how could it be considered as taking advantage? No matter how he looked at it, he was the victim.

In fact, Kousaka Haruhiko was worried that if he called the police, he would fall into their trap.

Although the effect of the Heavenly Punishment buff eliminated the strange reaction of his drug.

But he wasn't sure if it would be detected if tested.

If you win the fight but still walk into the trap set by the other party, it would be a waste of time.

So Haruhiko tried to dissuade him, "Really, there's no need, teacher. I'm not seriously injured. Besides, we're all classmates. I think after this, Manaka-san will definitely change his ways."

Teacher Tanaka looked at the boy in front of him with approval in his eyes.

Why didn’t I realize before that this classmate had such a kind heart?
Even if the enemy attacks with dirty means, we will not hold a grudge. Instead, we will point out a bright path for the enemy, hoping that the enemy will mend his ways.

Isn't this the temperament that only a swordsman has?
There was a hint of admiration in Yukio Tanaka's eyes when he looked at Haruhiko.

Although Kousaka-kun's strength on paper is still a little weak, his broad mind is enough to crush everyone in the Kendo Club.

Seeing that Mr. Tanaka was convinced by him, Haruhiko took the opportunity to say, "Teacher, I'm leaving now. I think I got rubbed a few times, and I need to go home and deal with it."

Teacher Tanaka: "Okay, do you want me to take you there?"

"No need, teacher. I can do it myself."

Haruhiko picked up his schoolbag from the ground and walked over to Manaka Yuta, saying in an encouraging tone, "Manaka-kun, don't do this kind of thing again. Didn't you just shave your head to show your resolve a few days ago? Don't make your mother worry."

Manaka Yuta was extremely angry, but when he looked at Mr. Tanaka who had a sullen look on his face, he did not dare to lose his temper. He could only lower his head and hide his expression in the shadows.

Haruhiko Kousaka ignored this classmate Manaka and carried his schoolbag and bamboo sword in his left hand because the aftereffects of being hit in the right shoulder by the baseball bat had begun to show.

He just rubbed his shoulders and walked towards the street.

Just then, a familiar figure hurried into the alley and almost bumped into his arms.

That familiar smell of expensive shampoo hit me.

Haruhiko looked closely and found that the person in front of him was Suzuki Sonoko.

She seemed to have been running all the way here, and she was panting, with the muscles in her chest rising and falling with her rapid breathing.

After seeing Haruhiko, Sonoko widened her eyes, seeming a little unbelievable: "Are you... okay?"
