The Detective Conan's Luck-Changer: Ran Begs for Mercy at the Start

The third challenge was a glacier. The slippery ground made it difficult for Ikeboshi Shizuka to move forward, and there was also a constant blizzard.

Having just emerged from the scorching desert, Chi Bo Jinghua was now caught in a cold wind and shivered uncontrollably.

Influenced by the illusion, in reality, Ikeba Shizuka also had her eyes tightly closed and her legs trembling uncontrollably.

But the trials in the illusion will not stop just because Ikeba Shizuka can't hold on any longer.

The main reason was that Izuki Shizuka wanted to give Ikenami Shizuka more experience so that she wouldn't be so arrogant in front of him in the future.

And at this moment on the field,

Heiji Hattori is on the verge of defeat.

Forced into retreat by Okita Souji's fierce offensive, he made numerous mistakes and retreated step by step.

In less than half a minute, Hattori Heiji had been forced to the edge of the field.

If you continue to leave the competition area, you will automatically lose.

Okita Souji seemed intent on defeating Hattori Heiji in this humiliating manner, continuing with relentless, direct attacks.

"You guy..."

Hattori Heiji felt humiliated and furious, but he had no strength left to retaliate.

"Losers never earn respect!"

Okita Souji shouted, raised his hands high, and slashed down with his wooden sword.

Hattori Heiji's stamina was already nearly depleted, and after barely managing to block the attack, he was forced to sit on the ground.

His hands were numb from the constant blocking, and he gripped the wooden sword with trembling hands.

It can be said that Okita Souji's victory is now assured.

Heiji Hattori has lost all hope of turning the tide.

Heiji Hattori was unable to move and did not want to admit defeat or withdraw from the match. He could only close his eyes and wait for the final blow.

Seeing this, the cheers and encouragement from the students of Gaifang College gradually faded away.

The Kendo Club members also looked bitter: it seemed they were going to lose to Tokiwa Academy again in this team competition.

This could change the college's low morale.

On the contrary, a childish voice seemed all the more distinct.

"Heiji-nii, don't give up!"

Conan continued shouting, "Sitting idly by and waiting to die isn't your style."

"Stand up right now!"

Hearing this voice, Hattori Heiji's heart skipped a beat. He opened his eyes and saw Conan shouting, his face red and his neck thick.

And because he shouted so loudly, he was even a little out of breath.

Heiji Hattori had seen Conan's expression in his dreams many times.

In the dream, Conan also kept encouraging him, urging him to go faster and exert more effort...

Countless images flooded Hattori Heiji's mind, forcibly awakening something within him.

This also made Hattori Heiji's eyebrows twitch wildly: If he were to be defeated at this moment, everyone present would definitely think he was a pervert!

Just imagining the scene of that company's death made Hattori Heiji feel like it was an endless hell.

Souji raised his wooden sword high, preparing for the final blow.

He then mocked, "Hattori Heiji, carry the humiliation of your defeat and slowly catch up!"

"However, the gap between us will definitely widen..."

Having said that, he swung his sword down.

He swung but missed.

"what--!"

The students watching couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Just when he was about to be defeated, Hattori Heiji, who should have been exhausted, rolled away to dodge the attack.

Immediately afterward, while half-crouching, he thrust forward with his sword, striking the side of the Souji.

Souji was caught off guard and careless.

Although he was protected by protective gear and wouldn't get hurt, he was still forcibly pushed two steps to the side.

The two were already at the edge of the arena, but Souji and the others immediately left the arena.

"Gaifang Academy wins!"

The referee's announcement rang out.

In a traditional kendo competition, the person who scores the highest score within a specified time wins.

However, the two players were locked in a stalemate for so long that after Hattori Heiji won a point, there wasn't enough time to start the second game before the time ran out.

Naturally, the champion of this kendo competition was the Kaifang Academy Kendo Club.

"How cunning! They actually pretended to lose!"

"Heiji Hattori, let's have another match if you dare!"

Souji looked unconvinced, believing that he lost because he was careless and fell into a trap, completely unaware of his bad habit of arrogance.

The members of Tokiwa Academy's Kendo Club quickly dragged Souji away.

After winning the game, Heiji Hattori insisted on not collapsing. He sat on the floor and asked his teammates to drag him back to the locker room so he could rest against the wall.

Conan followed along, congratulating him, "Brother Ping Shi, congratulations on your victory."

Conan's voice was hoarse from the excitement of cheering him on.

Hattori Heiji felt a surge of warmth in his heart and quickly avoided Conan's gaze, "It's all thanks to your encouragement..."

Heiji Hattori would never admit that he fought back so fiercely to avoid being humiliated in front of so many people, and that he only managed to win the match by sheer luck.

Because he had been constantly fending off Souji's powerful attacks and was exhausted, Hattori Heiji's hands were now completely numb.

In the audience seats

Ikeba Shizuka was also numb.

Unlike Heiji Hattori's numb hands, Shizuka Ikenami's legs went numb.

Shivering uncontrollably from the constant cold wind blowing through the illusion, my legs went numb.

“Yizhu…”

Unable to hold on any longer, Ikenami Shizuka looked at Itake Shizuka with a pleading expression.

Chapter 222 Ikeba Shizuka: Get Moving!

"Conan, hand me a bottle of water."

Hattori Heiji was exhausted, and his hands went numb from the recoil during his attacks and blocks.

That last desperate strike to avoid death had exhausted all his strength, and now he couldn't even lift a finger.

"Ok."

Conan took the water and thoughtfully opened the bottle cap, then held it to Hattori Heiji's lips.

This action, however, reminded Hattori Heiji of the things Conan would occasionally do in his dreams.

At this moment, the kendo club teammates were all preparing to help Hattori Heiji remove his protective gear.

Hattori Heiji quickly said, "No, no need to take it off so soon. I want to wear it a little longer and savor the moment of victory."

If the protective gear were removed at this point, the situation would be even more difficult to conceal.

the other side,

In the audience seats of the venue,

When Heiji Hattori unexpectedly won, the students of Kaito Academy cheered with joy.

Ran and Kazuha both had calm expressions, believing that Hattori Heiji's initial strategy was flawed.

The final victory was achieved only because the opponent was careless, which is somewhat undeserved.

The two women didn't even think about clapping, let alone going backstage to congratulate them.

Because there are other combat sports events in the stadium, the awards ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. after all the matches have ended.

It's only 3 p.m., and neither Xiaolan nor Heye are interested in the upcoming matches.

Izuki Karuta then said, "Then you can take a walk around the stadium first. I have some things to discuss with Ms. Ikenami."

The two women shared the same idea and left the audience seat hand in hand.

Izuki Karuta turned to look at Ikenami Shizuka, "Miss Ikenami, did you have fun just now?"

Chibo Jinghua was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, but her voice was soft and weak: "Mr. Yizhu is being far too bullying..."
