Conan: Chief of Rice Flower's Science Points

Chapter 231 Bai Shi’s Thoughts

On Friday, January 1, the finals of the Kanto Karate Tournament High School Division were held...

The team competition, as well as the individual quarterfinals, semifinals, and semifinals... have all been completed. Now only the most exciting individual championship and runner-up have not been decided.

And what is about to take place now is the most suspenseful showdown between the women's group!

"It's finally the final moment! Mr. Shiraishi, who do you think will be the individual champion in the women's group?" The host said to Shiraishi, who was the guest.

"It's hard to judge. Wada Haruna from Haido High School and Mori Ran from Teitan High School are similar in terms of skills and physical fitness. It depends more on their performance on the spot... If I have to say, this year's champion is again a girl from Toudou." Shiraishi said truthfully.

Nonsense! Both Beido Town and Beihua Town are within the Minato Ward, but not all of them are girls from Toudou...

"Hahaha, Mr. Shiraishi is really humorous. But it is true that before the competition, no one would have thought that the champion of the women's group this year would be another first-year high school student." The host also sighed at this time.

Both Wada Haruna and Mao Li Ran will not be promoted to the second year of high school until April.

Last year's championship was also won by Teitan High School, and the winner was also Tsukamoto Kazumi, who was only in her first year of high school at the time. This year, Tsukamoto Kazumi did not participate again...

"Good! This mid-section kick was great!" Bai Shi suddenly said.

On the field, Wada Haruna and Mao Li Ran, who were originally testing each other, had a brief fight at this time - Wada retreated to advance, stepped back and then kicked in the middle, and the attack was effective and scored!
"Ran! Come on!" Sonoko was about to shout at the top of her lungs in the audience.

Fortunately, the commentary could not be heard in the backstage, otherwise Sonoko would definitely complain that her brother-in-law was "favoring outsiders."

After Hetian gained the upper hand, he continued to pursue...

Xiaolan was a little confused at this time, and her several impatient high kicks failed to score!
"No, no, Maori-san is too impatient." Shiraishi was explaining to the outside court. In order not to affect the players, the commentary could not be heard in the inside court during the game, and there was no need to worry about any "reminders".

As expected, the consequence of using high-level kicks indiscriminately is that not only does it consume physical strength, but also the footwork becomes increasingly chaotic. Wada first stabilizes his position, then counterattacks all the way and knocks Xiaolan to the ground...

"If this goes on, Maori-san will be in trouble..." Shiraishi was also thinking in his mind, what is going on - according to the original work, Xiaolan should be the champion this time!
After all, the next session...

That's outside the timeline of the original work!

When the two sides were resting and tidying up their uniforms, Shiraishi suddenly saw that Xiaolan and Shinichi outside the arena were communicating with each other over a long distance...

Shiraishi didn't think that Kudo Shinichi could be of any help at this time, but he still used lip reading to read what he was saying - although it was far away from the commentary desk, but... Shiraishi's eyes were practiced!
[Sorry, there is a case! ]

Shinichi apologized, turned around and ran away from the gymnasium...

Shiraishi:……

Xiaolan:!!!
"Ah! Mori-san is fighting back! His momentum is incredible, Mr. Shiraishi..."

"That's right, momentum is also a part of on-the-spot performance, haha." Bai Shi knew what was going on and couldn't help but laugh.

Now Shiraishi understood how Xiaolan won.

Bai Shi also understood that Ah Liang's trip was in vain, the murder case was not here!

On the field, Xiaolan was stimulated by someone, and when they fought again, she suddenly became very powerful, even... Wada Haruna was also frightened and began to shrink back.

The situation, which was already difficult to recover, suddenly took a turn for the worse.

In the end, despite being at a complete disadvantage, Xiaolan successfully counterattacked and defeated Wada Haruna in one fell swoop!

As both sides took off their protective gear and came to the field to salute each other, the commentary was also carried back to the backstage...

"What a wonderful match! Mr. Shiraishi, as a practical person, what are your opinions on the future of both sides?" the host asked.

after all……

Shiraishi, this "pragmatist", is also quite famous, and even has some outrageous "rumors".

"As for opinions... Actually, both sides have already honed their skills to perfection, and have reached a very high level in physical training. Although there is room for improvement, it cannot be achieved in a short period of time. It's just that..." Shiraishi paused.

"Oh? Mr. Shiraishi, have you seen the weaknesses of the two contestants?" The host said this, and Wada Haruna and Mao Li Ran couldn't help but listen carefully.

"In fact, it is obvious... they are too light. According to the information, the weight of both contestants is less than 50 kilograms. Although it is difficult for girls to grow taller at this age, it is still very easy to maintain body fat percentage and increase the weight to 70 kilograms. By then, no matter who it is, they can easily defeat the current opponent." Shiraishi said very pertinently.

There is no need to mention Xiaolan. Her opponent, Wada Haruna, has short hair and a temperament that is very different from Xiaolan, but she also has a slim figure.

That's it?

In Bai Shi's opinion, any person weighing 70 or 80 kilograms, even if his physical fitness is obviously inferior to theirs and his fighting skills are slightly inferior, can fight just as well!
After all, they cannot transcend the scope of science, and the force they exert is always determined by the body.

"I see... As expected of Mr. Shiraishi," the host said awkwardly.

The two girls on the field also froze in their expressions - well said, don’t say it next time!

70 kg...

We don’t really want to win!
Shiraishi didn't think his words were presumptuous - since he was commenting on "Karate Duel", aesthetics and the like were not within his scope of consideration. ...

In comparison, the boys' group was not very interesting - although the competition had not yet started, but...

"The boys' finals will be held next. Mr. Shiraishi thinks..."

"The champion will probably still be a boy from Dongdu." Bai Shi said directly and confidently.

One of the two teams in this match is from Kanagawa Prefecture, but...

There is no suspense in the game!

"It seems that Mr. Shiraishi also thinks so. Kyogoku Makoto, the defending champion of Beido High School, does have the strength to dominate the high school group.

"But fortunately, this is also the last time that Kyogoku Makoto will participate in a high school competition. He is now in his third year of high school and will graduate in two months..." The host was not surprised by Shiraishi's judgment.

"It is said that Kyogoku Makoto will become a professional player after graduation. I believe that one day in the future, Kyogoku Makoto will also stand out in the professional arena!" The host said in an expectant tone, and then turned to Shiraishi and asked, "Mr. Shiraishi, how long do you think it will take for Kyogoku Makoto to shine on the professional stage?"

"Well... that depends on when he competes," Shiraishi said as a matter of course.

"Huh? Mr. Shiraishi has so much confidence in Kyogoku Makoto?" The host was stunned when he heard this.

"Of course, among the current players, there are only a handful who have a chance of winning over Kyogoku Makoto-san of more than 50%," Shiraishi said confidently.

Neither Kyogoku Makoto nor Xiaolan are as strong as they were in the "plot" now, but... compared to that time, the difference is not that big!
However, the host was sweating a little, thinking that Shiraishi was talking too much, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "By the way, after the game, there will be a coaching match with Mr. Shiraishi himself. I'm afraid that this is also a headache for Kyogoku-san, right?"

The host wanted to bring the topic back.

"That's not the case... Considering my weight, if I weigh less than 80 kilograms, it would be difficult for me to defeat Kyogoku-san." Shiraishi said as a matter of course.

Even without considering the supernatural "I-style", Shiraishi... is almost two 80-kilogram men!

The host was a little embarrassed at this time - my goodness, there are not many people who can compete with Kyogoku Makoto, and you don’t even take Kyogoku Makoto seriously... Do you mean that you are invincible?
Indeed, there was nothing much to comment on the game on the field.

Kyogoku didn't even try his best...

Even though he really respected his opponent and had a positive attitude, he was unable to exert his full strength out of thin air. His opponent was unable to force any strength out of him and was easily defeated by Kyogoku Makoto.

……

At this time, in the audience, after hearing Shiraishi's speech...

"Maeda, in your East Island Karate world, even amateurs can brag like this?" Jamaldin complained in his broken Japanese to Maeda Satoshi who was standing beside him.

Jamaluddin is a karate champion from Singapore and the spokesperson for the global competitions held in Singapore. Although he has retired, his strength is still ranked among the best in the world.

He was here because he was invited by his old rival, the national champion of Toudou, "Maeda Satoshi" - because he happened to be in Toudou, he came to see the high school competition, and as a result... he happened to hear Shiraishi's "brilliant remarks".

"Big talk... huh? Maybe." Maeda said uncertainly.

"Hmm? Maybe? Do you also think that this high school student could possibly compete with you on equal terms?" Jamaldin sneered.

"I don't know what Kyogoku-san said, but if it's Mr. Shiraishi who's speaking, I have no chance of winning... no matter what rules we use!" Maeda said firmly.

Jamaldin was also stunned when he heard this...

He and Maeda had fought several times before retiring, with some wins and some losses. Although he did not think that he was weaker than Maeda, and even believed that after retiring, he had more actual combat experience and should be stronger than Maeda, but... Jamaldin was at least certain that he could not beat Maeda so badly!

For a moment, Jamaldin also paid attention to Kyogoku Makoto, but unfortunately... the runner-up's level was limited and he didn't see anything. It was just the level he showed and his ease that made Jamaldin pay a little attention.

……

Soon, before the awards ceremony, a special mentoring competition began...

"Four people coaching at the same time? What can we see from this?" Jamaldin expressed his dissatisfaction again at this time - mainly because he was dissatisfied with the organizer for agreeing to such a rule.

In his opinion, four against one...

Even if Bai Shi is a top professional player, it will definitely be a performance. It is impossible for the four students to attack him at the same time, otherwise...

Although the extent of Kyogoku's true strength is still unknown, even based on his performance, Jamaldin doesn't think he would have any chance of winning if he were to take over - beating four burly men with average fighting skills would not be difficult for him, but beating these four would be a bit ridiculous!
Even if we don't overestimate Kyogoku Makoto, and if he had two Mori Ran or two Wada Haruna as his opponents, Jamaldin thought to himself that he would not be able to win in the ring. If he fought wildly and used ruthless force, he might have a chance. After all, these students definitely have no "real combat experience."

"Well...by the way, you haven't met Mr. Shiraishi, right?" Maeda said in a strange tone.

"Ok?"

Jamaldin soon understood why Maeda said that, and why this "amateur" guy always emphasized weight...
