Jackie Chan: What does it mean to be an international movie star? (Leans back tactically)

In short, after getting familiar with the place and trying things out, Gina joined the fitness team and looked forward to exercising that day: "It's enough to see Hanon when I go to the gym."

But Gina's plan was immediately disrupted by Ayaka: "I remember Kanon said she was going to the judo dojo these days and wouldn't be going to the gym."

“…Breet! The cunning Ye Huayin!”

So, where is Kanon, who is being targeted by Gina, right now?

Actually, she wasn't at the Mifune family's place. Today was the day of the Tsurumine Academy Judo Tournament, and Kanon, as a "fellow student" she had trained with, went to Tsurumine Academy to cheer on the members of the Kyokushū school.

Tsuramine Academy is vast and has a large student body. The students were especially enthusiastic, fueled by the fact that the open space, originally belonging to the Kyokushū Karate Club, was now being used as a championship prize. At the event, Kanon saw many strange and unusual teams; for example, Kyokushū's first opponent was... actually an arm-wrestling club.

"I've been having a lot of luck with arm wrestling lately..." Hana remarked. "Should I start by saying 'Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment' to greet them?"

However, Kanon didn't go over, but Mifune Kumi came over instead: "Kanon, your strength is indeed extraordinary. You must be very strong if we arm wrestle."

Hanon immediately noticed something was off: "Kumi's acting strange today. This girl is usually so lively and energetic, why is she so composed today? No, she's practically as still as a mountain, with a dignified and imposing presence... Ah, she's like an old lady!"

That's right, this isn't Kumi, but rather the elderly Mifune who has dyed her hair black.

It turns out that there has been a flu outbreak in the Tokyo area recently. It's not just Hibiki and Akemi who have caught it; Mifune Kumi also developed a fever due to her excitement before the match, which lowered her immunity. She will be unable to compete today.

Originally, Hyakutaro, a karate expert and judo novice, was very happy to go from "substitute" to "regular". However, Kotaro, whether he did not trust him or was deliberately playing a trick on him, completely ignored him and instead brought in an old lady to fill in.

The old lady's first visit to Tsurumine Academy naturally led to many comical situations, but with such a red-belt master in charge...

"I was going to say good luck to everyone, but..." Hanon sighed, "Now I should be saying 'have a safe journey' to the other side."

Yes, Koutarou and the others from the extreme style are already martial arts masters, and with the old lady being an "outsider" of that level, how could other clubs possibly be a match for them? Amidst laughter and chatter, the old lady and Mayumi secured two victories.

The third match was truly astonishing. Shikato Noriyama, a living legend, used his signature move, "Original Hundred-Man Fist," with the air of an old man toying with a baby. He multiplied from one to two, from two to three, and from three to a hundred, instantly filling the entire arena with his figure. His opponents were terrified and covered their heads, waiting for death... However, after a second of looking cool, Shikato suddenly strained his back.

"As people age, their strength and ability diminish; even living legends cannot escape the relentless march of time!" The ups and downs of life are too fast and too exciting, leaving the entire audience facepalming.

In the fourth match, the carefree Kotaro arm-wrestled with the opposing captain. Although he won, he was judged to have lost because of a violation of the rules.

The fifth match was to be fought by Saigo Sanshiro. Before he went on stage, Kotaro punched him, making him half-asleep and then bringing him back into focus. However, he was immediately startled awake by Hyakutaro's loud cheering, and he reverted to his usual self.

The match suddenly became very dangerous, but Sanshiro ultimately demonstrated the results of ten years of hard training. Although he did not use the Mountain Storm Divine Technique, he still achieved his first undefeated victory in an official match.

The crowd cheered, and many applauded and cheered for Sanshiro's breakthrough. Judging from this match alone, the tournament was full of sportsmanship.

In a warm atmosphere, the morning's matches had ended, and everyone chatted and laughed as they headed to the dining area.

As she walked, Hana felt something was off: "It's like I've forgotten something..."

"Oh, everyone, did you leave Grandpa Lu Dou behind in the venue?"

The judo competition at Tsurumine Academy has many details in the original work, but it's not the main plot of the novel. The author omitted and modified a lot of things. If you're interested, you might want to find the original manga to read; it's a great work.

The next chapter seems to be about the Tsurumine Academy tournament again; after all, things that need to be explained have to be explained eventually.

Section 27, Chapter 27: The Murder at the Competition Venue

The group hurriedly returned and found Mr. Lu Dou, who had injured his back and was unable to move. He was still at the venue, affecting the team competition.

"Hmph, hmph hmph hmph!"

Lu Dou was naturally very unhappy, and kept grumbling: "You bunch of bastards, you actually forgot about me. Now the men are dancing for me in loincloths, and the women are giving me massages in bunny girl outfits. You should apologize properly!"

then……

Later, Hyakutaro started taking off his clothes: "I understand, Captain, it was my mistake to forget you! I'll dance now!"

Grandma Mifune covered her mouth and smiled, "Hehehe, a massage... I haven't done this kind of thing in decades~"

Hanon then began to flex all her muscles, her knuckles cracking: "Alright, I'll 'serve' you for a bit..."

"You guys..." Shikato knew he couldn't force these people to apologize, and the only one who wanted to dance, Hyakutaro, was really an eyesore. He had been forgotten about this, and it seemed he couldn't make up for it.

But Lu Tou still argued with the younger generation: "If you don't agree to my demands, I'll sue you for elder abuse!"

Kotaro picked his nose and said, "Go ahead and sue me. You've made a whole bunch of demands, and the author has already given you so much space. Aren't you satisfied?"

Of course, this is just the author's joke. What Kotaro actually meant was: "Old man, how dare you strain your back at the most important moment? What are you going to do about the rest of the game?"

"What should we do? Of course, I should inherit the position of the captain and represent the extreme style in the competition!" After practicing judo from scratch for so long, Hyakutaro was very concerned about competing, almost to the point of obsession. Upon hearing this, he immediately snapped out of his "dancing" state and began to fight for a spot.

However, Kotaro completely ignored him and began to calculate on his own: "Sigh, it's a pity that Kanon isn't a student at Tsurumine Academy, and it's too late for her to enroll now. She's not like an old lady, looking like Kumi, whom you can just use directly..."

"Hey, Shindo!" Hyakutaro was about to explode.

"Oh, right." Kotaro took out his phone and made a call to someone: "Hey, Baldy, are you all better yet? What? You're already at school? Great, wait for me, I'm coming to find you~"

After hanging up the phone, Kotaro seemed to have found a new candidate: "Bald Tian is back, maybe he can be used as immediate combat power~ Let's go find him!"

"What? Tenkoji is back..." Go Hyakutaro was in great danger. Just as he was about to speak, Kotaro had already disappeared in a flash.

"Hey, wait a minute, listen to me, listen to me!" Later, Hyakutaro also ran away.

Kanon looked completely bewildered. It seemed like a new character had appeared? Luckily, Mayumi was there, so she asked her, "Who is that?"

Mayumi explained, "Koutarou contacted Teruhiko Tenkoji, who is Koutarou's nemesis and friend. He has a very high level of kendo. We contacted him when we formed a team before, but because Shikato wanted to join the team, we secretly injured him... If he also knew some judo, he might really be a great help to us."

"Shikato is really something... Well, since there's such a person, let's go and join him~" Kanon had never met a master who used weapons before, and after hearing Mayumi's words, she couldn't help but become interested in this "Bald Ten".

"You've left me behind again!" After Kanon and Mayumi, Sanshiro and Granny Mifune also went to join the fun, leaving only the immobile Shikato on the scene again...

Kotaro didn't say where Tenkoji Temple was, so everyone could only follow the direction Kotaro left in and search for it. When they arrived at the entrance of the men's restroom, they found that there were quite a few people gathered there.

"Waaah! Baldy, you died so tragically!" A scream came from the toilet, or rather... a dry wail. Although the sound was miserable, there was no trace of grief in the tone.

It seems something has happened!

Hanon and the others squeezed into the men's restroom, only to find it in a mess. A bald boy in a martial arts uniform was lying unconscious on the ground, his face buried in the urinal.

There was a semi-circular pool of water around the boy's side; since it was in a toilet, it was most likely urine! The bald boy had obvious blow marks on the back of his head, clearly indicating that he had been attacked from behind and knocked unconscious.

"Tenkoji!" Mayumi exclaimed in surprise, "Who could possibly have injured you?"

It's important to know that Teruhiko Tenkoji is Shindo Kotaro's nemesis. The two are evenly matched in strength and are among the top students at Tsurumine Academy. Unless it's an old monster like Shikato, no one can possibly sneak up on him.

"This must be murder!" Shindo Kotaro said indignantly. "The enemy must have known that Baldy Ten was coming back, so they struck first."

"Hey, this person isn't dead yet, what murder is this~" Kanon was speechless at the eccentric Kotaro.

What's even more absurd is that Tenkoji suddenly regained consciousness and began to struggle to get up: "That bastard, he..." Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, Kotaro kicked him in the face and knocked him unconscious again.

"Lie down properly, a corpse should have the self-awareness of a corpse, you bastard."

Kotaro stomped on him several times in a row. Tenkoji, who was originally only slightly injured, was now seriously injured. His face was covered in bruises, and he looked much more miserable than before.

Brother, is this person your friend or your enemy?

"What happened?" At that moment, Hyakutaro rushed in, and was shocked when he saw what was going on: "Tenkoji? Who is it that managed to ambush him?"

Shindo Kotaro pulled out a pair of glasses from somewhere and put them on his face: "Hmm, let me, the great detective Shindo, solve this mystery!"

Now everyone understands; it turns out this eccentric guy came here to indulge his detective fantasies.

Kotaro noticed the puddle of water first: "There's a circular water mark around the victim, it's very suspicious..." He then directed the timid Sanshiro: "Go, Saigo, lick this puddle."

"Wow, I don't want to! This is obviously urine!" Sanshiro may be weak, but he's not stupid.

Kotaro was just joking and didn't force the issue: "Alright, let's just assume it's urine. But why would Baldy pee and spill so much...?"

"It must be someone from the First Judo Club!" Hyakutaro said with certainty. "That group has been coveting the territory of the Kyokkuryu from the very beginning. Knowing that a master like me had joined, they launched a sneak attack on Tenkoji from behind. They were afraid that Tenkoji, who has a second-dan judo skill, would join us!"

"Oh?" Kotaro narrowed his eyes. "You're so quick to jump to conclusions, it's suspicious."

Hyakutaro angrily retorted, "Shindo, you bastard! Tenkoji and I are sworn brothers, how could I possibly ambush him from behind?"

Kotaro still stared at Hyakutaro with suspicion, but just as he was about to ask another question, Kanon put an end to everything.

"No need to deny it, there's only one truth, the murderer is you—Hyakutaro!"

That concludes today's update. It seems this simple little mystery will have to wait until tomorrow for the result. The author has applied for a recommendation; hopefully, there will be news tonight.

Section 28, Chapter 28: The Great Detective Kanon

"Kanon!" Hyakutaro was shocked. He never expected that it would be Kanon who would call him out: "You can't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"Senior, you have too many flaws..." Kanon reached out and took Kotaro's small glasses, put them on herself, and started to pretend to be Conan: "There is only one truth, so let me solve the mystery."

Kanon pushed up his glasses: "First of all, there's the motive. Kotaro had just said he was going to recruit Tenkoji when he was attacked. So the two most likely culprits are: the rival judo club, or a teammate with whom he has a competitive relationship... which is, his senior."

"I'm a top expert, what competition do I have with him? Hahaha..." Hou Hyakutaro laughed awkwardly, but cold sweat was already pouring down his back.

Kanon sized him up: "Tsk tsk, you're only a white belt in judo, but you just said yourself that Tenkoji is a second dan in judo~"

"This..." Hyakutaro argued, "Since there are two possibilities, how can you be sure it was me? Tenkoji and I are sworn brothers. Even if I knew he was a second-degree black belt in judo, I wouldn't have attacked him!"

“Because there’s a second line of reasoning,” Kanon continued. “I heard that Tenkoji is a rare expert at Tsurumine Academy, and his adaptability and resilience must be very strong. From the time he spoke to Kotaro on the phone to when everyone discovered he was being attacked, the interval was very short. Anyone who could defeat him and escape unscathed in such a short time must also be an expert. Senior, aren’t you a great expert yourself?!”

"No, no, no, this was a sneak attack!" Hyakutaro argued frantically, "Commander... ah, Commander is injured, but Shindo is still pretty good! And Tenkoji was hit on the back of the head, so he doesn't need much resistance to blows. Anyone could knock him out."

Hana narrowed her eyes: "It was a sneak attack, and it was an inside job."

She pointed to the water stains on the ground: "These water stains are obvious. They were left by this guy, Tenkoji, when he sensed the murderous intent while urinating and quickly turned around to face the enemy. But look, Tenkoji's pants are already tied up. This means that after seeing the person, he realized that he knew him and turned back to finish urinating, which also created an opportunity for this acquaintance to launch a sneak attack."

As he realized that everyone's gazes were becoming increasingly certain that they were directed at him, Hyakutaro's back was already soaked with cold sweat...

"Actually, the fact that it was an inside job and the motivation to prevent being replaced in the competition had already led to the outcome in your favor, but you just made a very serious mistake."

Hanon's glasses were sparkling, making her look quite like a serious detective.

"Brother Tenkoji was just knocked unconscious again by the new hall master, his face is covered in footprints. To be honest, I've been very curious since the beginning. Senior, who came in after this, how did you know that Tenkoji was ambushed? Even if you immediately understood that the water stains on the ground pointed to an acquaintance as the perpetrator and an attack from behind, how could you know that Tenkoji's injury was to the back of his head?"

"Waaah!" With things having come to this, Hyakutaro had no chance to argue anymore. He knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Coach... I want to play! Waaah..."

"Hyakutaro...you're so silly." Kotaro seemed moved by him, squatted down and put his arm around his shoulder: "Actually, you didn't have to do this. Even if Baldy Ten comes back, I don't plan to change the person to compete. I already have the best candidate in mind!"
