"Xiao Lan, it's okay that the boy is gone. Dad will cheer you on!"
"Thank you dad!"
"Xiaolan..."
Yukiko's pretty face showed helplessness.
Normally eloquent, she didn't know what to say to explain for Shinichi.
Moreover, is there any need to explain this?
She felt that if she were Ran, she would have kicked Shinichi away long ago. How could a girl suffer such injustice!
"It's okay, Yukiko-neechan~"
Ran held Yukiko's hand and smiled sweetly, saying:
"Isn't it because you guys are cheering me on? If Shinichi wants to solve a case, let him go!"
"Hey~"
Yukiko patted Ran's head with a look of pity in her eyes.
"Humph!"
He glared at Yukiko.
Eri Kisaki gave a cold snort.
She couldn't bear to see her precious daughter suffer!
Yukiko wore a wry smile.
He had originally planned to show off his victorious attitude in front of Eri after beating her.
Now that his son has done something so stupid, how can he possibly show off?
Yukiko quickly put on a smiling face and humbly pulled her best friend aside to talk.
As for that stupid son, she couldn't be bothered with him anymore.
See this scene.
Xia Ye didn't sense anything was wrong.
Shinichi Kudo is just that kind of person; perhaps deduction is his true passion?
Seeing that Xiaolan still looked a little disappointed, Xia Ye didn't bring up the topic, but instead instructed:
"Xiao Lan, the finals are coming up soon, remember what I told you before!"
"I see!"
Xiao Lan's face turned serious.
Xia Ye once said that her mindset was prone to problems.
We need to strengthen our training in this area.
The finals are just around the corner, and I can't let Shinichi affect my performance.
Taking a deep breath, Ran calmed herself and quickly regained her composure. She suddenly realized that she didn't seem to care as much about Shinichi's departure as she had thought.
Chapter Thirty-Five: A Brief Showdown with Makoto Kyogoku
The finals have begun.
Ran did not unleash her full power after Shinichi left.
The so-called "explosive power" is actually a kind of emotional imbalance and cannot reflect true strength.
She kept Xia Ye's instructions in mind, remained calm and steady, and suppressed Wada Haruna from beginning to end.
The difference in skill level was obvious even to many spectators who didn't understand karate and were just there for the spectacle.
After two rounds.
Xiao Lan won the women's championship without any doubt.
Haruna Wada came in second place.
After the awards ceremony.
The audience gradually left the theater.
Xiao Lan returned to the group with the championship medal.
A bright smile graced her pretty face.
After so many days of hard training, I even got injured this morning and almost couldn't participate in the competition.
Now that I've finally won the championship, I can finally give myself and everyone who cares about me a satisfactory answer.
"Xiao Lan! You're the best!"
Sonoko excitedly hugged Ran's arm.
Xiaolan cried on the spot when she got injured this morning.
She cried and blamed herself, saying it was all her fault for not listening to Xia Ye and forcing herself to do extra training before the competition, which led to her becoming like that.
It's so heartbreaking!
Now that she has won the championship, Sonoko is genuinely happy for her.
Ran accepted the congratulations from her parents and Yukiko, and then approached Natsume with her medal in hand, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Well played!"
Xia Ye looked approvingly at her and praised with a smile:
"Steady defense, decisive attack!"
"Most importantly, I was not affected by any emotions."
"From now on, you must hold yourself to the standards set in this competition!"
"During battle, you must eliminate distractions, remain focused, and concentrate entirely, understand?"
"I see!"
Xiao Lan nodded obediently, keeping Xia Ye's words in mind.
"Good to know~"
Xia Ye straightened her face and became serious.
"Now let's talk about why you got injured!"
Sonoko stood there dumbfounded.
No wonder you wouldn't let me say it back then.
So you're planning to settle scores later!
Xiaolan, it's not that your sister doesn't want to save you, but this man has already planned it all out, and there's nothing I can do about it!
"sorry!"
A deep sense of guilt welled up in Xiaolan's beautiful eyes.
Xia Ye was instructing herself on training.
I repeatedly emphasized that you should not over-exercise and that you must pay attention to your physical condition.
However, he was blinded by the rapid improvement in his strength.
Not only did he have extra training at the dojo last night.
I arrived at the National Stadium early this morning to familiarize myself with the venue.
We practiced for an extra hour.
This led to a lumbar muscle strain during a double kick, causing him to fall directly to the ground from the air.
Xiao Lan lowered her head, not daring to look Xia Ye in the eye.
Xia Ye remained silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Kogoro Mouri opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
This time it was indeed Xiaolan's fault. Xia Ye was practically her teacher, so it was perfectly appropriate for him to reprimand her.
Yukiko felt sorry for Ran and was about to say a few words of advice when Eri stopped her. It was true that she felt sorry for her daughter, but she also understood the situation.
Seeing Xiaolan admit her mistake, Xia Ye raised her hand.
"Xia Ye!"
Sonoko's eyes widened, and without hesitation, she rushed forward and grabbed Natsume's hand, shouting:
"You can scold her a bit, but don't hit her!"
"Idiot, I didn't mean to!"
Xia Ye, who had only wanted to pat Xiao Lan's hair, was both amused and exasperated. This girl was far too concerned about Xiao Lan!
With a gentle twist, Xia Ye grabbed Yuanzi's wrists with his large hands, and was about to tap her on the head when a gust of wind suddenly rushed towards him.
"Let go of that girl!"
Xia Ye let go of Yuan Zi's hand.
Make a blocking gesture with your right arm.
Bang-!
The loud crash echoed through the stadium.
The people nearby, including Xiaolan and Yuanzi, clearly felt the wind pressure coming towards them!
It was merely a tentative contact.
They actually pulled off a scene that didn't even happen in the women's final!
"it is good!"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and waved her hand.
"Xiaolan!"
"understand!"
Xiao Lan knew what kind of monster Xia Ye was facing, and without hesitation, she told everyone to back away.
"What happened there?"
The audience members who hadn't left yet were drawn to the commotion and turned their attention in this direction.
Then--
"Is that Makoto Kyogoku?"
"Is he fighting someone?"
"Wasn't he guaranteed a spot in the national competition because he was the champion of the previous national competition? Why is he still coming to the Dongdu Competition?"
"The person opposite him is... I don't think I recognize him!"
Xia Ye glanced at the familiar dark face in front of him, smiled, and launched an attack!
His right leg swung like an axe blade, slashing towards Kyogoku Makoto.
Kyogoku Makoto raised his hands and took the kick from Natsume head-on.
boom--!
Kyogoku Makoto stumbled, his face darkening.
A crack spread out from the wooden floor beneath our feet!
Strong enemy!
A hint of joy flashed in Makoto Kyogoku's eyes.
