Conan's Exorcist Detective

Chapter 3 Suzuki Sonoko's little tricks
The members of the Kendo Club sat in a circle on the floor of the indoor practice area.

Kendo coach Yukio Tanaka looked at Haruhiko Kousaka who walked to the center of the field with a displeased look on his face.

Haruhiko's posture was sloppy. Although he practiced kendo, his body was not much stronger than that of an ordinary otaku. Not to mention that as long as Yukio spoke a little louder, this Kousaka-san would show a cowardly expression.

He doesn't have the aura that a swordsman should have at all.

So even though Haruhiko was usually very respectful to Yukio and often took the initiative to take on the dirty work in the kendo club, Yukio Tanaka could not develop the slightest liking for him.

Yukio Tanaka prefers boys who are full of blood and passion.

So when he saw Haruhiko being lazy just now, he instinctively vented his dissatisfaction and called him out for sparring.

But when Haruhiko Kousaka stood in front of everyone, Yukio Tanaka felt a little regretful.

He forgot that although Kousaka Haruhiko was a second-year student, his kendo skills had always been weak and his personality was very introverted.

Generally speaking, this kind of sparring that is called out individually is performed by Yukio Tanaka or the head of the kendo club, who will teach the disobedient students a lesson.

However, if I were to be taught a lesson in front of so many people, with many younger students present, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

Will this cause this student to become devastated?

After all, Yukio Tanaka is a teacher and needs to consider this matter carefully.

When he thought of this, Yukio Tanaka felt upset again.

Damn it! What a nuisance! Why can't you be a bit more manly?

Yukio Tanaka suppressed his dissatisfaction with Haruhiko and scanned the crowd, trying to find a suitable candidate.

Finally, he fixed his eyes on Ran Mouri, the wealthy young lady who painted her toenails pink.

Should be a suitable candidate?

Suzuki Sonoko is not very strong, she is also a second-year student. Although she is stronger than Haruhiko, she is not able to beat him so hard that he has no chance to fight back.

After the two exchanged a few moves, they announced the end of this boring competition, Tanaka Yukio thought to himself.

"Suzuki Sonoko, come and fight him." said Yukio Tanaka.

"Eh? Is that me?" Sonoko was whispering to Xiaolan and was startled by the sudden call. "Okay, teacher."

Suzuki Sonoko put on a mask, picked up a bamboo sword, and walked to the center of the venue.

Haruhiko Kousaka looked at the kendo girl opposite him. She was wearing a brand new kendo uniform. Although she was wearing a visor, Haruhiko could still see the eagerness and excitement in her eyes.

Why is this guy so happy?

Haruhiko walked towards the other party with a bamboo sword in hand and performed the squatting etiquette.

This is a kind of etiquette to express respect to the opponent and to get yourself into the right state.

"I didn't expect that I would get the chance so soon, Kousaka-kun." Suzuki Sonoko said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"What?" Haruhiko was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the agreement he had made with Sonoko and asked quietly, "Do you want me to deliberately lose to you here? To establish your glorious image? To attract those younger students?"

"No." Suzuki Sonoko looked strange, "I just feel that if I don't beat you up, I still can't get rid of the anger in my heart."

"Didn't we reconcile?" Haruhiko said innocently, "I still have the ten thousand yuan bill that the young lady gave me in my arms."

"That doesn't stop me from beating you up." Suzuki Sonoko showed a devilish smile, "Don't worry, I won't be too harsh."

Haruhiko was a little afraid of hurting her, after all, he didn't know how strong his Kendo 29 could be.

What if I accidentally hurt her? With the power of the Suzuki Group, would they turn themselves into a concrete pillar and sink it into Tokyo Bay?

Haruhiko wanted to say something else.

Suzuki Sonoko on the other side suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Kosaka-kun, were you peeking at my feet just now?"

As she spoke, Suzuki Sonoko deliberately moved one foot forward a short distance.

Her bare feet rubbed against the smooth floor, making strange sounds.

Haruhiko looked over subconsciously.

But unexpectedly, a loud shout came from the front -

"noodle!"

Suzuki Sonoko's bamboo sword hit his visor directly.

When the knife was swung, Coach Tanaka on the side couldn't help but turn his head away.

He felt that he had misjudged the situation, and Suzuki Sonoko's kendo skills seemed to be stronger than he thought.

Is it because he's been training hard lately, or is he just in particularly good shape today?

Kendo players sometimes get into a state of mind suddenly and display strength far beyond their usual level.

No matter what the reason is, Kousaka Haruhiko will definitely be beaten up.

Yukio Tanaka has already started thinking of words to encourage Haruhiko Kousaka.

On Haruhiko's side, he faced a sudden attack.

It was normal to choose to stand there in a daze.

When Sonoko was halfway through swinging his bamboo sword, he was thinking - what a beautiful foot.

So normally he wouldn't be able to dodge this attack. But Haruhiko was a hacker after all.

Although his consciousness couldn't react, the words in his mind flickered and his body seemed to move on its own.

He lowered his shoulders and lunged forward, dodging the opponent's attack while striking the armor on Sonoko's abdomen with the bamboo sword in his hand.

Snap!
The two exchanged positions.

The indoor practice field was completely silent.

Suzuki Sonoko looked shocked.

How could that be? I was the one who attacked first, even using a little trick to distract him, yet not only was I dodged, I was even scored on.

This shouldn't be the case. She had clearly found a disciple of a kendo master to teach her, and she had also trained hard in private. Why did it turn out like this?
Damn, it must be a coincidence.

Suzuki Sonoko turned around and rushed forward, brandishing a bamboo sword: "Come again!"

Haruhiko attacked with a knife.

After a few rounds...

Haruhiko's bamboo sword hit Suzuki Sonoko's helmet accurately.

"noodle!"

Suzuki Sonoko stood there in a daze.

Why is this happening? Isn't he the worst in the Kendo Club?
Why did she feel the powerful pressure of the kendo master's disciple on Haruhiko during those attacks just now?

It seemed like no matter what she did, she would be hit by the opponent. This strange feeling made Yuanzi feel restrained and unable to exert her normal strength.

At this moment, Yukio Tanaka said, "Okay, let's stop here."

The doubts in Tanaka Yukio's heart at this time were no less than those in Suzuki Sonoko's.

As an advisor to the Kendo Club, he has a certain understanding of the strength of his students. The level that Kousaka Haruhiko has always performed is at the bottom of the Kendo Club, and there has not even been any fluctuation.

But the strength he just displayed was far beyond what it should be.

Even the top students in the kendo club might not be able to handle that situation better than Haruhiko Kousaka.

What caused his transformation? Did he find a kendo coach?

Yukio Tanaka rejected this idea again. He was very clear about the financial situation of Haruhiko Kousaka's family. There was no way they would have enough extra money to find a kendo coach outside.

No matter what, it's always a good thing to have another potential student in the club.

Maybe in future national competitions, Haruhiko Kousaka can become a strong substitute.

Yukio Tanaka decided to observe this student more closely.

Next came the daily training. Haruhiko sat on the ground to rest while reviewing the battle process just now.

He found that the previous series of operations were all instinctive reactions of the body. He did not need to think carefully to use the appropriate moves. He felt like he could do whatever he wanted.

However, Haruhiko discovered that Kendo 29 was not as strong as he had imagined. He was only at the upper-middle level of the Kendo Club, not even up to the level of the captain of the Kendo Club.

He also discovered that this kendo skill did not seem to increase physical strength, which resulted in him not having the upper hand in strength when fighting with Suzuki Sonoko.

In the end, he defeated his opponent by relying on his skills.

I don’t know if it’s because his physical fitness is too weak, or if Suzuki Sonoko was infected by her good friend Mouri Ran’s supernatural talent.

Thinking of this, Haruhiko subconsciously looked at Suzuki Sonoko in the crowd and found that she was sitting on the floor with her knees hugged, staring at him angrily.

Haruhiko quickly averted his gaze.

...

After the Kendo Club practice ended, Haruhiko left the Kendo Club.

He had to hurry home as he had a business deal to deal with in the evening.

He had to carefully review the knowledge related to exorcism to avoid any mistakes, and then rush to the customer's home as quickly as possible.

If the process goes smoothly, you should still have time to buy the expiring bento from the convenience store.

But when Haruhiko walked near the shoe cabinet, he found the atmosphere there a little strange.

The classmates around him looked at him with strange eyes.

Mao Lilan stood aside with a look of pity on her face.

Haruhiko walked to his shoe cabinet in confusion, and then he understood why everyone had such expressions.

His shoe cabinet was opened and filled with leftovers and various garbage. A sticky and disgusting liquid was slowly dripping along the shoe cabinet.

A strange smell was fermenting in the air.

Several classmates covered their mouths and noses without concealing their disgust towards Haruhiko.

It goes without saying that it was done by Yuta Manaka and his gang, and Haruhiko felt furious.

At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from behind: "Oh, what is this smell? It's disgusting."
