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

I specifically asked one of my elders, who is currently leading a government-led project on human function research, and he is the chief expert in it.

He had conducted some basic research on the body of that Miyazaki swordsman. In his words, it was a body that had broken through the limits of humanity; its speed, strength, and perception all exceeded human limits.

Based on the results of hearing and sensory ability tests, he can even sense the mutual trust and heartbeats of people in the next room from within his own room!

Mary Akai solemnly said, "In other words, this person is almost a humanoid monster. If you can hear someone's breathing and heartbeat, he can even act like a lie detector. If you lie to someone like this, you have to be extra careful."

A single, unintentional heartbeat or a rapid breath from you could become the basis for his judgment of you.

I wouldn't even rule out the possibility that such a martial arts master possesses an ability, almost like a sudden impulse, to sense the malice directed at him by others. Do you understand what I mean?

Sera Masumi couldn't help but swallow hard. What was all this?!

If someone does these things, are they even human?

"So for the next period of time, I will be doing some anti-lie detection training for you. This is a training method that I found in the FBI's elite training. You need to study it carefully."

"understand!"

Miyazaki Hayao's home in Beika-cho 3-chome.

"Hurry, hurry, Lingyu, bring the ball back!"

Lingyu transformed into a bolt of lightning and leaped to the side of the rubber ball in an instant. However, it rolled its eyes in a very human-like manner. As a very intelligent cat, it was very unwilling to play with these silly children.

However, after Rena showered it with compliments, even this proud cat succumbed to her sweet words.

At this moment, Miyazaki Yu's hall had become a children's paradise, with the Teitan Three Fools, namely Yoshida Ayumi, Kojima Genta, and Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, as well as Rena and Ai.

This meant that five children were playing together, instantly making the entire first floor lively.

"Kids, have some fruit!"

Miyazawa Mie brought out a fruit platter containing several kinds of cut fruit pieces, each with a small toothpick stuck in it, so that they could eat without getting their hands dirty.

"Aunt Mei Hui is so gentle," the chubby Genta said, blushing slightly, but he immediately turned his attention to the fruit.

"Wow, there are apples, pears and watermelons, that's great, thank you Auntie."

Mitsuhiko and Ayumi thanked him and started eating, but they didn't forget to share with Rena and Ai.

However, both girls shook their heads.

"No, we still need to exercise in a little while, so we can't eat anything right now, otherwise our organs will hurt."

The training method developed by Miyazaki Yu is an extremely difficult training process; each step of the training could be written into a thick book.

His research on human anatomy was ahead of its time; otherwise, he wouldn't possess such immense power.

So although the two girls are only in the foundational stage, they already have many taboos. These seemingly insignificant things are actually like trees growing.

The changes in trees are invisible to the naked eye, but you know that trees are growing silently until one day they grow into towering giants, becoming something that shrubs admire.

"Exercise?!"

The children's faces fell, and the fruit they were eating no longer tasted good.

This story goes back to a previous incident. Miyazaki Hayao had once incredibly dashingly dismantled a helicopter with a long sword, leaving an indelible impression on these children.

So ever since that incident, the Teitan Three Fools have become regulars here, shamelessly wanting to learn swordsmanship from Miyazaki Yu and become a great swordsman themselves.

Unlike some childless old man who can only place his affections on a group of children, Miyazaki Yu wouldn't maintain that level of tolerance for these good-for-nothings.

He doesn't have the habit of being a nanny. He treats Rena like a younger sister, while Ai is treated as such because she is extremely intelligent and has extraordinary scientific research talent. She is now both his secretary and his female apprentice.

Yes, that's what makes a strong relationship.

However, Miyazaki Yu did not directly reject them. Instead, he told them that it was good that they liked kendo, but that practicing kendo was very difficult.

These children thumped their chests loudly, indicating that they were all seasoned young detectives who had been tested and would never give up because of suffering.

So Miyazaki Yu let them train with Rena and Ai. They only needed to reach the same training intensity as the two of them and persist for ten days before he could teach them kendo.

The problem is that the three of them only persisted for three days before giving up.

"Miyazaki-nii's training intensity is terrifying; it's not something a child can do," Genta said, his chubby face crumbling.

"But Ai and Rena can do it, and they even have to wear those kinds of clothes to train. My body just can't handle it."

A hint of sadness flashed in Ayumi's eyes as she realized the importance of talent for the first time in her life.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ayumi went to open it and saw three girls and Conan standing in the doorway; it was Ran and her friends.

Chapter 381 First Contact

"Ah, it's Conan, Ran-neechan, and Sonoko-neechan. Oh, I don't think I've seen this lady before."

Ran smiled and patted the girl's head, saying, "This is Sera Masumi. You can just call her Sera-neechan."

Ayumi quickly and sweetly called out "Sera-neechan" and then welcomed the four of them inside.

"Is this Miyazaki Kengo's house? It's quite special."

Sera Masumi quickly glanced around, taking in the entire first-floor lobby.

The furnishings on the first floor were very simple. On one side, near the window, there were two sword racks on each side, with bamboo knives on both racks. There were ten bamboo knives of different lengths on each rack.

On the other two sword racks, each held five real swords, though it was unclear whether they were sharpened.

On a dark iron rack at the very back, there was a single Shadow Longsword. This longsword was unusually large, and although it was sheathed, a heavy and fierce feeling lingered in one's mind.

"Sera, look, even the most famous swordsmen don't have much to see at home. How about this, when we have time in the future, we'll take you to the swordsman's territory. Even though you can only move around in designated areas, it'll still be great."

"The territory of the swordsmen?" Sera thought with a chill.

The Sword Master Territory is the legendary location of the Sword Masters' Guild. It is a very mysterious place, rarely visited by anyone, and is the training ground for sword masters.

If we could go and explore the territory through Ran and Sonoko, that would be a great thing.

"Wow, this lady has such a flat figure! Are you really a girl? Or are you a man in disguise?"

Genta, displaying his recklessness, posed his question to Sera.

Mitsuhiko, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled him back: "Genta, isn't that impolite? Please don't mind this older sister. Genta has always been straightforward."

"boom--"

Sera felt like she had been hit twice over. How could these kids be so annoying? Wasn't she just flat-chested? They were mocking her indirectly.

Xiao Lan stood by with a smile, constantly giving the kids meaningful glances. These kids were really something else. What a girl cares about most is when others talk about her face and figure, and these two were hitting the nail on the head.

Sonoko just smiled indifferently, as if she were back in her own home, and threw her schoolbag aside.

"Ai and Rena, where's Miyazaki? Everyone's here, where's he?"

Ai pursed her lips slightly.

“Sister Sonoko, some people lose all sense of time once they start exercising. It’s not uncommon for them to exercise alone for several days in a row. I don’t want to wake them up. If I disturb their training, I might get blamed.”

"That's true, there's no way around it. If you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight. But this won't do. However, the times when he works so hard that he forgets to eat and sleep are only a few. Now that Miss Sonoko has come, he won't just ignore her. It would be a huge sin for him to ignore beauties like me and Ran. Wahahaha!"

She burst into a wide laugh, completely abandoning any semblance of ladylike behavior, which sent chills down the spines of the children watching.

Xiao Lan quickly pulled Yuanzi back.

"Alright, Sonoko, this will damage your image as Miss Suzuki. Besides, that guy Kohae has very sharp hearing. He can hear us talking downstairs."

"Ah, it seems so. Just like you told me before, he located the murderer through the wall, and then used a throwing knife to kill the criminal by piercing the wall from the other side. He could even hear us talking."

Before the words were finished, a voice came from the stairs.

"That's right, that's right, I heard all your voices clearly. Our Miss Garden's presence is an honor to this humble abode. I can't pretend I don't know and not come out to greet you."

Everyone looked up and saw Miyazaki Yu slowly walking down the stairs. He wasn't fast, but every move he made had a special charm.

This feeling is like that of a veteran in everyday life; he is actually very relaxed, but every move he makes gives people a special feeling.

In Miyazaki Yu, this feeling is even more special. His movements are not stiff at all. On the contrary, his movements are as smooth as flowing water, with a sense of fluidity.

However, he exudes a powerful aura. His muscles are not prominent, but they are clearly defined, as if he could unleash unparalleled and terrifying power once he explodes.

He was drying his hair with a towel and smiling as he greeted everyone.

"Miyazaki, you went to take a shower?" Sonoko smiled. As expected of a handsome guy, he looks even more handsome after taking a shower.

"Ran, Sonoko, you're all here, and you kids too. Hello, this student looks like he's also a student at Teitan High School, but I don't think I've ever seen him before."

Seeing his gaze fall on Sera Masumi, Ran quickly introduced her: "This student is called Sera Masumi. She just transferred to our class a few days ago."

"Sera Masumi? That's a rather unusual surname. Hello, I'm Miyazaki Yu, welcome to my home."

Sera Masumi immediately smiled, revealing her sharp little tiger teeth and the corners of her mouth slightly.

"You must be Miyazaki Kengo. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've only been a transfer student for a few days, but after learning about you, I couldn't help but ask Sonoko and Ran to bring me here to pay my respects to this legendary figure in martial arts."

Miyazaki Yu smiled and said, "Looking at your upright posture, with your muscles slightly tense, especially your back, shoulder blades slightly tucked in and spine slightly bent, it's a habit of being ready to exert force at any time. It seems you also have some martial arts skills, and your strength is already quite good among ordinary people."

"Huh? This!"

Sera Masumi felt a tremor in her heart.

"Is this the eye of a great swordsman? I'm just standing here, and I've already seen so much."

A sense of powerlessness, like facing a mountain, suddenly arose in my heart. Under such gazes, I felt as if I had become transparent.

Conan, standing to the side, was slightly surprised.

"This woman, who looks like a boy, is actually a martial arts expert. After all, for Miyazaki Yu to bring her up, her strength must be quite formidable, otherwise there would be no need to mention her."

“Miyazaki Kengo is right. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and have been learning for many years. Although I cannot compare with Miyazaki Kengo, I have achieved some success.”

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly, but he had a strange feeling in his heart. He knew that Sera Masumi was Akai Shuichi's sister, and in this timeline, it was he who killed Akai Shuichi.

If this girl knew that he was the one who killed his brother, I wonder what she would do?

However, he had done this perfectly, and it was impossible for Vermouth to betray him, so he had no reason to target a girl.

He was also confident enough to handle any unexpected situation and make all discordant voices disappear forever.

So he smiled calmly: "Sera-kun, you don't need to call me a swordsman. We're all classmates now, so you can just call me Miyazaki-kun. And you don't need to belittle yourself. Although I haven't seen you fight,..."

However, your heartbeat is steady and strong. In terms of strength, it's about the same as Xiaolan's strength two months ago, which is already quite good.
