Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Sonoko would occasionally go to watch Ran Mouri train, so she had some understanding of her best friend's skills.

That's why I noticed that Xiaolan's performance today was quite different from her usual level.

But in the end, both the dream and the special training were related to Chu Zhong.

The two best friends gradually turned their gazes toward Chu Zhong.

"I've heard that the brain consolidates and analyzes learned knowledge while a person is sleeping."

To avoid being discovered about the copy incident, Chu Zhong started making things up, "Perhaps Xiao Lan had a new understanding of the training she received during the day in her dream last night."

This somewhat weak excuse was surprisingly effective.

"That's right, it must be because of Chu Jun's over-the-shoulder throw!"

Ran Mouri suddenly realized, "It seems very simple, but now that I think about it, I have a strange feeling, like it's a skill at another level of martial arts."

As they were talking, Ran Mouri exclaimed in surprise, "That's strange. Many moves that I couldn't understand before now seem much clearer."

Sonoko exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that, Ran, you've had an epiphany about martial arts because of Chu Jun?!"

Ran Mouri clearly agreed with her best friend's words. Her gaze toward Chu Zhong was filled with utmost respect and admiration. She exclaimed, "No wonder Lord Chu was unwilling to give me pointers. It turns out that the essence of martial arts was hidden in every move. It was just that my comprehension was insufficient to understand it."

"Until now..."

Seeing that Xiaolan's words were becoming increasingly outrageous,

Chu Zhong could only nod with a smile.

It's hard to say for sure; his actual skill in martial arts was quite limited, making it impossible for him to guide Xiaolan.

Therefore, when he was being affectionate with Xiaolan, he could only politely refuse her requests for training.

I never expected Xiaolan to interpret it this way.

Sonoko also found corroborating evidence: "So it was inspired by Chu Jun. No wonder Xiao Lan's moves just now were different from usual."

During regular special training, Sonoko had never seen her best friend toss people around like punching bags.

He was immediately delighted: "If you can easily defeat the coach, then won't Ran easily win the next Kanto District official tournament?"

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri's lips curled into a confident smile, but the smile only lasted a few seconds.

"But now, I can no longer participate in the competition..."

Ran Mouri sighed.

Chu Zhong squeezed Xiao Lan's hand and laughed, "Xiao Lan, you're just too particular about the rules."

"Now that you've defeated the coach, the karate club members, unless they're stupid, definitely won't remove you from your captaincy."

"Besides, with your true strength, Xiaolan, you would be more than capable of winning the championship even if you competed as an individual."

Sonoko grasped her best friend's other hand. "Chu Jun is right, Xiao Lan. You should have more confidence in yourself."

After some encouragement,

Chu Zhong discovered that the words above Xiao Lan's head had changed back to [Quasi-Fairy Level: Ran Mouri].

However, when the topic came to a close and the focus shifted to picking up Xiaojing for a shopping trip, she reverted to [Demon King Level · Ran Mouri].

Chu Zhong speculated that it was because Xiao Lan's martial arts insights had not yet been fully studied, and her current realm was not yet stable.

As for the prefix 'quasi-immortal level', Chu Zhong wasn't too surprised.

After all, in the entire world of Detective Conan, there is only one being of the demon-immortal level, Makoto Kyogoku.

Although Xiao Lan's martial arts talent was outstanding, it wasn't quite at a heaven-defying level. Chu Zhong never expected that Xiao Lan could ascend to the level of a demon immortal with just a martial arts insight.

Chu Zhong was already quite satisfied with having reached the level of a half-step demon immortal.

The three left the school and took a taxi to Eri Kisaki's office.

"Xiao Lan, your gaze... is so cheesy."

On the way, Sonoko couldn't help but complain, "She was just like that at noon... and now she's all lovey-dovey with Chu Jun again, does she want to...?"

In the back seat of the taxi, Chu Zhong sat in the middle, with her two best friends sitting on either side.

After getting on the bus, Sonoko noticed that her best friend was holding Chu Zhong's arm and staring at him intently.

"How can there be..."

Ran Mouri blushed at the comment and instinctively tried to hide it, but then realized that the two people next to her were the closest people to her.

"It's all Chu Jun's fault..." Ran Mouri said frankly, "He's so outstanding and powerful, of course people would be tempted... and even a little tempted to submit."

Sonoko immediately joked, "In that case, next time you come to my house, I'll give Ran a maid outfit."

Ran Mouri nodded in agreement with her best friend's suggestion, which had a bit of a role-playing feel to it.

Chu Zhong smiled, not too surprised by Xiao Lan's remarks.

After all, since their beach trip, Ran and Sonoko have become much more obedient and compliant.

Even his somewhat absurd suggestion, which abandoned safety, was easily accepted by the two best friends.

The society in Japan has always admired strength, and Ran unilaterally believes that he is a super expert.

When there is a significant difference in strength, it is natural for people to feel a sense of awe and admiration for someone who is far superior and unattainable. Given that the relationship is already good, it is normal for such fleeting thoughts to arise.

At 4:30 p.m., the three arrived at the law firm.

"Miss Lan, Miss Yuanzi, and... Mr. Chu."

Kuriyama Midori, the receptionist, smiled and glanced at the three of them. "The teacher is meeting with a client in the office. You may have to wait a little while."

Chu Zhong nodded, walked to the waiting room, and sat down on the sofa.

Ran Mouri went to prepare tea, while Sonoko sat on the sofa with Chu Zhong.

"Chu Jun, Sister Fei must really like you, why are you waiting here?"

Sonoko was a little puzzled: "Wouldn't it have been easier to just have Ms. Kuriyama announce it and call Shizuka out?"

Through her best friend's information, Sonoko learned that the beach trip had not been kept from Eri at all.

Fortunately, Eri Kisaki had no objection to this matter, which also proved that Eri Kisaki, as an elder, was very satisfied with and fond of Chu Zhong.

Since we have such a good relationship, there's no need to be so formal.

Chu Zhong understood this reasoning and could only explain, "Mainly, Sister Fei is in a bad mood because of safety issues."

"In situations like this, it's always better to be polite..."

"So that's how it is..." Sonoko was not surprised at all after hearing the explanation.

After all, when discussing the matter of abandoning security, it was anticipated that if Eri Kisaki found out in the future, it would most likely anger her.

And the other side.

As Ran Mouri was preparing tea, Midori Kuriyama approached and inquired, "Ran, are you and that Mr. Chu dating?"

Ran Mouri paused in her tea-making, but quickly resumed her normal actions. "No, we're just close classmates and friends."

"Really just friends?" Kuriyama Midori was taken aback by the answer, seemingly unwilling to believe it.

"Otherwise what?" Ran Mouri asked rhetorically, then left without saying anything more, carrying the brewed tea with her.

After a while, Kuriyama Midori came to her senses and muttered to herself, "It seems Ran is too shy to admit it..."

It couldn't possibly be that teacher, Chu Zhong...

Kuriyama Midori quickly shook off the strange thoughts that had popped into her head again, returned to the front desk, and continued working.

The client didn't leave the office until 5 p.m.

Eri then realized that Chu Zhong and the other two had been waiting for half an hour, so she called Haibara Shizuka and headed towards the waiting room.

Pushing open the door, I saw three people sitting on the sofa reading magazines.

However, both girls had slightly flushed cheeks, which was quite noticeable.

"You three..."

Eri Kisaki immediately sensed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

"It was Xiaolan who started it..."

As the elders' gaze swept over, Sonoko covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at her best friend with the other.

“You, Mingming Yuanzi, also…”

Ran Mouri was embarrassed by her best friend's accusation, but under Eri Kisaki's reproachful gaze, she dared not say anything more.

"Sister Fei, don't be angry."

Chu Zhong immediately stood up, "It was just something I was bored with, so I wanted to exchange feelings."

Just now in the taxi, Chu Zhong noticed that Xiao Lan was getting restless. Sure enough, she was craving snacks again and even dragged Yuanzi along.

It's quite interesting to be in this unlocked waiting room where Kuriyama Midori could push the door open and walk in at any moment.

"Angry?" Eri Kisaki snorted. "You two have such a good relationship, I'm overjoyed, how could I possibly be angry?"

But no matter who it was, they could hear the dissatisfaction in Eri's words.

Then, Eri Kisaki extended her right hand forward and led Shizuka Haibara, who was following beside her, to Chu Zhong.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you today, Sister Fei. I hope Xiao Jing didn't cause any trouble?" Chu Zhong changed the subject.

Eri sighed, "How could such a well-behaved child like Shizuka possibly cause trouble..."

Before Chu Zhong could figure out why Fei Yingli sighed,

Eri called out, "Ran, Sonoko, you two, come to my office."

Then, glaring at Chu Zhong who was about to say something, she said, "You, stay here!"

The two best friends suddenly felt nervous, like students who had made a mistake and were about to be criticized by the teacher.

"It's all your fault, Sonoko, for telling on someone."

"This...this can't be blamed on me...Sister Fei is so smart, she must have guessed it right away..."

The two best friends whispered to each other as they followed Eri Kisaki into the office.

After closing the door.

"You two, aren't you afraid something will happen to Chu Jun if you keep torturing him like this?!"

Eri's tone carried a hint of annoyance and worry.

The two best friends, who thought they were going to discuss safety issues, were stunned when they heard this.

What a hassle? Who's making trouble for whom?

Seeing the questioning looks on Ran and Sonoko's faces, Eri sighed and said earnestly, "I know you two are close."

"But Xiaolan, think about it, last night, this morning, or maybe at school at noon, you might have... and now..."

“If this continues, Chu Jun will run into trouble sooner or later. He needs some time to rest.”

After exchanging glances, the two best friends, who had been lectured, huddled together with Eri and whispered the truth to her.

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Eri looked on in astonishment, completely unable to believe it.

Even though she learned from Xiaolan's interrogation that Chu Zhong was in good health, Eri never imagined that he was in such an absurd state.

“Of course it’s true.” Xiaolan hugged Fei Yingli’s hand and explained, “I helped Chu Jun this morning because I was worried about an awkward situation…”

Yuanzi also felt a little wronged: "Instead of worrying about Chu Jun, Sister Fei should care more about us."

"It's clearly us who need more rest..."

Hearing this, Eri blushed slightly. "Oh, is that so..."

On the other side, in the lounge.

Chu Zhong inquired about Xiao Jing's experiences at the firm that day and tried to gauge Fei Yingli's reaction.

Shizuka Haibara spoke frankly and even shared her observations.
