Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, Aunt Meihui's cooking is getting better and better. It's not just a little bit better than my mother's cooking, it's far superior.

No wonder Dad thought her cooking was terrible, which is why they argued and separated. Mom should learn from her sometimes.

And then there's Xiaoyu. Ever since his showdown with the phantom thief was exposed by the media, he's almost never gone to school. As a result, I have to go to school alone, which is really disappointing.

Upon entering the classroom, the students gathered in twos and threes. The boys discussed various competitions, while the girls had a much wider range of topics, including cosmetics, skincare products, and celebrity gossip.

"Ran, how are you? It's been a weekend. Did you miss me? Sonoko-sama misses you terribly."

Xiaolan chuckled as she listened to Yuanzi's funny voice.

"Alright, Sonoko, we're together every day, why would I need to miss you?"

Sonoko stretched and yawned, her face still showing a hint of fatigue.

"Sonoko, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep well?"

Sonoko shook her head and said, "I slept well, but I'm a little tired. Lately, we've been dealing with the Suzuki Group's rivals."

He then lowered his voice and said, "It's the Morita family. We've always been business rivals. The Morita family has always had the upper hand. There's no way around it. The Morita family is not only a conglomerate family, but also a political family. Their influence in the government is incomparable to that of the Suzuki family, so we've always been at a disadvantage."

However, ever since that incident, in which the Morita family was attacked by that organization and many of its core members and high-ranking members met with misfortune, the Morita family has experienced a significant decline.

"If the Morita family hadn't acted so decisively, selling off many of their businesses, they probably would have suffered significant losses even in their core business."

Ran asked, somewhat puzzled, "But, in that case, shouldn't this be a good thing for your Suzuki family?"

Sonoko said dejectedly, "At first, it was indeed a good thing, but last week, the Morita family suddenly launched a new drug. This drug is used to treat cardiac arrest and brain atrophy, and it is even very effective for many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases."

As soon as this drug hit the market, it became an instant bestseller and was sought after by major hospitals. The stock price of Morita also hit the daily limit instantly. The previously sluggish stock market also rebounded because of this new drug. Our Suzuki family was also impacted.

I'm such a good girl, of course I have to help my dad. As a result, I've been very busy these past few days, and I haven't had any time to explore Miyazaki. It's so sad.

Xiaolan grinned. This last sentence is what you really wanted to say, isn't it?

"But you're right. When Miyazaki and I were having breakfast this morning, he said that he hadn't seen Sonoko for a while. He had prepared a lot of good ingredients so we could have a barbecue this weekend. There would be all kinds of meat and more than a dozen kinds of seafood."

Upon hearing this, Yuanzi's mouth watered.

"That's great! I must go. I can't let Miyazaki down."

Just then, the school bell rang. Sonoko quickly sat up straight and opened her book. She hadn't previewed the material for the past few days, so she wanted to make the most of her time to review what she had learned. She didn't want to be called on by the teacher in class.

As a young lady from a prestigious family, she values ​​this sense of self-respect very much.

To everyone's surprise, the teacher didn't see her arrive. Instead, a tall girl walked in. The girl's eyes had a dark green luster, and her short hair looked very capable. She had a smile on her face, but a small tiger tooth was showing at the corner of her mouth.

Although she was a girl, she gave off a spirited and heroic feeling, and this contrast made all the students in the class take notice.

At this moment, their teacher also walked in and waved to the students who were talking amongst themselves.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet. This is our new transfer student. Starting today, she will be a student in our second-year class B. Now, please let her introduce herself."

The spirited girl glanced around, her eyes sharp. Many boys, sensing her gaze, involuntarily looked away.

This made the girl nod, and her gaze fell on an empty seat, her eyes flickering almost imperceptibly.

"Hello everyone, my name is Sera Masumi. I'm a transfer student from out of town. I hope you can take good care of me."

He then walked off the podium and placed his backpack on an empty spot.

Ran was right beside her and hurriedly said, "Hello, Sera-san, my name is Ran Mouri. This position has already been filled, but he hasn't come yet."

Sera Masumi smiled slightly: "He didn't mean to come. It just means I can stay here now and leave whenever he comes back."

Chapter 379 Sera Masumi (3rd update!)

"what?"

Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that this girl, who looked like a boy, would act in a similarly carefree and unrestrained manner.

This seat belongs to Miyazaki Yu, but he doesn't come to class much anymore. He only comes occasionally to audit a class or take an exam.

Then there's no need to emphasize it, since that guy rarely comes anyway.

"Ran Mouri, the seat in front of you is empty too. Whose seat is that?"

Ran was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "The seat in front of me is Shinichi Kudo's seat. He hasn't been to school for a long time. You should have heard of him."

"Shinichi Kudo, that high school detective, how interesting. This class is really something else, not only does it have a great swordsman, but also a famous detective."

Xiao Lan was a little puzzled. How could this girl, who had transferred from various schools, be so familiar with these things? Had she done some research?

However, now that the teacher had started lecturing, she could only suppress her doubts and begin to listen to the lesson.

At this moment, Sera Masumi's heart was far from calm.

"Ran Mouri, is she the girlfriend of that Miyazaki Kengo? But according to my previous investigation, she and that high school detective named Shinichi Kudo were childhood friends."

However, after they returned to Japan from New York, their relationship took a sharp turn for the worse. After Shinichi Kudo completely disappeared, Ran Mouri completely threw herself into the arms of the swordsman Miyazaki.

A complex look flashed in her eyes. After Shuichi Akai's death, she and her mother, Mary Akai, had been investigating the cause of his death and searching for possible clues.

However, the cause of Shuichi Akai's death was like an endless quagmire, leaving her feeling powerless.

"Based on the existing clues, Brother Xiu's death is closely related to that silver-haired devil. However, that silver-haired devil, who was active in New York and killed people everywhere, mysteriously disappeared without a trace after this major attack on the FBI."

My mother and I searched for a long time in the area where he was known, but we couldn't find a trace of him. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. And after that, no new cases occurred.

So, based on my mother's and my deductions, this silver-haired demon may have already been killed, and the murderer who attacked Brother Xiu was someone else, and the most likely culprit was that woman.

Thinking of that woman, Sera Masumi's brows furrowed slightly.

Although he had never met that woman, from his mother's description, she was an extremely difficult woman. Even his mother was helpless against her. Under the woman's coercion, his mother even took that poison and became the way she is now.

However, this also has its advantages, namely that she will not attract anyone's attention now, and can use this identity to investigate everything secretly.

Currently, among those who have contact with the woman's organization, there are two who can provide assistance or clues.

One of them is Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective who is known as the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, but Shinichi Kudo is currently missing.

His disappearance was very mysterious. Some people said he was dead, while others believed he was still alive.

However, no matter what, as long as he is alive, she must dig him out. This Mori classmate is the best clue. As long as he is alive, he will definitely come to see her.

Even if Shinichi Kudo doesn't appear, Ran Mouri, who was also active in New York during that time, might be able to provide some clues.

And the most important person is Miyazaki Hayao!

This person was not originally in her sights, but the previous battle between the other party and Phantom Thief Kid was quite a big deal, and suddenly a huge storm was stirred up.

Her investigation revealed that the forces that had clashed violently with this Miyazaki swordsman included the black-clad organization.

I originally thought that no matter how powerful an individual is, when facing a criminal organization that spans the world, the result would only be like an egg hitting a rock.

After all, if these criminal organizations were easy to deal with, the government would have wiped them out long ago. And organizations that even the government is wary of are not something that an individual can fight against.

But the final result was quite surprising.

The result of the head-on collision was that the Black Organization and the other organization not only did not gain any advantage, but also suffered devastating damage!

This was an outcome that exceeded her expectations, but it was also a chilling result upon closer examination.

In the words of her mother, Mary Akai, such a person has transcended the realm of humanity; he alone is equivalent to an army.

Phrases like "one against a thousand" or "one against a hundred" are used to describe such a powerful individual, but they are a form of contempt. This person's abilities have surpassed the limits of ordinary people, making them an existence that even nations need to be wary of.

And the position I'm in now belongs to him, so what kind of person is this mysterious powerhouse?

The day's classes ended quickly, and through her deliberate approach, the naive Ran and Sonoko soon became familiar with her.

She casually asked some questions about Miyazaki Yu, and neither of the girls thought much of it and answered them one by one.

"Handsome and dashing, heroic and extraordinary, and most importantly, loyal and righteous. He would risk his life to save others, and no matter who the enemy is, as long as his sword flashes, he can wipe them all out!"

Sonoko gestured exaggeratedly, then described the scene with emotion, especially the last few words. For those last few words, she even waved her hand heavily, her little finger hitting the table, causing Sonoko a sharp pain and almost bringing tears to her eyes.

Xiao Lan quickly took Yuanzi's hand and rubbed it for her.

"Sonoko, don't make such a big fuss. Everyone's looking here, and what you're saying is too exaggerated."

After blowing a few breaths onto the little hand, Sonoko chuckled.

"It's not an exaggeration at all; on the contrary, it's an underestimation. After those things happened, my dad had a professional organization assess Miyazaki's destructive power. The result was that his destructive power was comparable to that of a medium-sized army. He was invincible in urban warfare. Unless someone used missiles to completely destroy the entire city, nothing could hurt him."

It's just a pity that although he will protect me, he is not my knight. A delicate princess like me needs a knight's protection the most.

"what!"

Sera Masumi and Ran both got goosebumps; Sonoko could be really cheesy sometimes.

In a hotel in Beika Town, Sera Masumi, who had just finished school, opened the door and walked in.

Her gaze swept quickly around her, a hint of helplessness on her face.

"Come out quickly, it's me who's back."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a figure leaped through the open window and stood before her—a cute little girl with short blonde hair and dark green eyes, none other than Akai Mary!

Chapter 380 The Three Who Gave Up Training

"Mom, you don't need to be so nervous. Hiding directly on the air conditioner unit is really dangerous."

Mary Akai shook her head. Although it wasn't the first time she'd done this, she still hadn't fully adapted to this life on the run.

"Makoto, this isn't the first time I've warned you. You're a high school student now, you should understand why I'm doing this. Our current situation is extremely delicate. We can't afford to make mistakes. Just one mistake could very well lead to our destruction!"

Sera Masumi sighed softly, wanting to offer some advice to her mother.

But she knew that her mother was right; only by being careful could she save her life in a dangerous environment.

However, she still spoke up, "But Mom, didn't you say before that the Black Organization has suffered heavy losses and that there are very few Black Organization members left in Japan now?"

Mary Akai nodded in agreement: "That is indeed a fact. It is unbelievable that someone could destroy hundreds of well-equipped armed forces single-handedly. Moreover, according to my information, the losses of another mysterious organization besides the Black Organization were even more severe."

The entire organization was almost completely dismantled, and the remaining forces were directly swallowed up by the Black Organization. It has clearly changed the landscape of the underworld.

At this point, Sera Masumi became happy and told her mother in detail what had happened at school that day.

"Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri are now my classmates. They are both very kind girls, and I believe it won't be long before we become good friends."

Mary Akai's expression relaxed slightly. This was rare good news. With Masumi becoming their friend, they would have the opportunity to investigate Shinichi Kudo's whereabouts and make contact with the swordsman Miyazaki.

“Masumi, you did a great job, but you must not rush, especially at times like this. Although I hope you can get in touch with that Miyazaki swordsman, it will be an extremely difficult task to deal with a strong person of that level.”
