A Scientific Urban Detective

Indeed, considering Lin Wuming's own abilities and the situation with Tiger Honey, there wasn't much need for him to learn police-style combat techniques.

Lin Wuming could use his Nen abilities to cover most of the functions that "combat techniques" could achieve. His combat power had also been tested in actual combat and was far beyond the level requiring training.

Moreover, even if it were to prepare for the unexpected and learn some basic combat techniques, now was not the right time—Lin Wuming was injured in the leg and was sitting in a wheelchair, making it impossible for him to receive combat training under such circumstances.

As for Tiger Honey, not to mention her incredibly sharp "Absolute Penetration," even without weapons, she had long mastered a set of effective close-quarters combat skills.

Even Ruiko Saten, who seemed to have benefited from the other two and passed the exam without testing, had actually learned excellent combat skills from Kurozuma Wataru. If a fight really broke out, the Judgment instructors might not necessarily be her opponents.

"Besides, you see, last night, Wuming was acknowledged by that Accelerator," Ruiko Saten said. "No one has the confidence to be your coach."

"No, no, that was actually a misunderstanding..." Recalling the so-called duel with Accelerator yesterday, Lin Wuming shook his head repeatedly, and then his expression gradually became serious.

After she mentioned it, Lin Wuming remembered that Accelerator had also made a duel appointment with him!

After his injury healed, he would have a duel with Accelerator...

Just thinking about this made Lin Wuming feel heavy.

This duel, which was bound to be a defeat and could even cost him his life, was not something to look forward to. Lin Wuming even wanted to forget about it as if to escape reality.

In the end, it was still a matter of insufficient strength!

Lin Wuming's current strength could be said to be in a bottleneck period, not good enough compared to the top, but better than the bottom.

If judged by the average level of Judgment members, Lin Wuming's combat power was undoubtedly quite excellent, and could even be said to have far exceeded the level normally required for Judgment activities.

However, if his opponents were Level 5s, or the Kihara family and other monsters, his strength would be far from enough.

Even with the "Bullet Time" transmigrator cheat, he could at most struggle more violently, but he couldn't change the outcome of the battle.

Even recalling the battle with the "Fake ITEM" trio last night, Lin Wuming's face became even gloomier.

The three girls, Itsuwa Makoto Koji, Kazari Uiharu, and Kuroko Shirai, were not weak, but they were definitely not strong either. As long as Lin Wuming could fully exert his strength—that is, the effect of "Bullet Time," he could completely end the battle within half a minute.

But the problem was that "Bullet Time" was a passive effect that would not be triggered unless he encountered a real "fatal crisis." Therefore, the fact that the enemies' attacks were not strong enough became an important factor restricting Lin Wuming's strength in this operation!

Without the blessing of "Bullet Time," Lin Wuming was just an ordinary Level 3 telekinetic, at most with a slightly faster reaction speed and slightly higher manipulation precision.

This directly led to the fact that when facing enemies who were neither strong nor weak, or who were better at defensive counterattacks, Lin Wuming couldn't exert his true strength and could only use his Level 3 telekinesis to grind against the enemies bit by bit...

If he could freely use "Bullet Time" mode, Lin Wuming was confident that he could defeat such enemies in an instant.

Therefore, being able to flexibly use "Bullet Time" was the most realistic way for Lin Wuming to improve his strength at the moment.

At least until he mastered this, Lin Wuming didn't plan to go to the appointment with Accelerator.

"...Wuming, Wuming?" Ruiko Saten waved her hand in front of his eyes, waking Lin Wuming from his contemplation. "What were you thinking about? You suddenly became so serious?"

"I was just thinking about how to improve my strength and become stronger," Lin Wuming said.

Ruiko Saten was slightly stunned, then shook her head: "As expected of boys..."

After successfully rescuing her companion last night, Kurozuma Wataru didn't seem too happy. She seemed to have been stimulated by something and kept talking about wanting to become stronger.

In Ruiko Saten's view, this was indeed the competitive spirit of boys.

"Level 5s are indeed very powerful. If we want to defeat them, we can only continue to work hard!" Tiger Honey looked like she deeply agreed, and even seemed more motivated than Lin Wuming.

Since there was no need for training, the three decided to disband and go home to rest.

However, before leaving the headquarters, Lin Wuming and Tiger Honey were stopped by the chairman, who said she wanted to chat.

Come to think of it, they hadn't reported their work to their direct superior since coming out of the underground arena last night...

Speaking of which, the chairman had given the greatest support to this operation, and even allowed Lin Wuming to act on his own and change the original plan's willful behavior.

After the incident last night came to a temporary end, she also let Lin Wuming and Tiger Honey go home to rest, without immediately asking them to report the situation...

Thinking about it this way, Lin Wuming had even less reason to refuse. He suppressed the urge in his heart to take action to improve his strength and went to the chairman's office.

In fact, the chairman had already known the whole picture of the underground arena incident last night—the guard corps had shared the written records of Lin Wuming, Kurozuma Wataru, and others with her.

However, she still wanted to obtain some first-hand information from the parties involved...

After patiently listening to Lin Wuming recount the whole process of the "Underground Arena Case" yesterday, and asking a few targeted questions about key points, the chairman finally showed a satisfied expression.

"Okay, I have a general grasp of what happened. Student Lin Wuming did a great job. I will apply for a special scholarship for you." The chairman looked very gratified and sighed with emotion, "You have made a huge contribution to our Judgment."

This was not an exaggeration from the chairman. The performance of the other members this time was really unsatisfactory; without Lin Wuming, the biggest achievement of this Judgment's collective action would have been a half-day tour of the "Underground Arena," and they might have even been wiped out due to a small earthquake...

"Indeed, students who grow up in an ivory tower are ultimately lacking in experience," the chairman said, half with emotion and half with sarcasm, "For us, this operation was too difficult."

Leaving aside the strength of the enemies, the key was that the operating environment was too special and harsh.

Deep underground, narrow space—this was more dangerous for Judgment members than the enemies.

"I have already applied to the guard corps to send teachers to provide us with professional training," the chairman said, stating her plan.

Not training in combat, but training in how to deal with various emergencies, and how to act and survive in different environments.

"That's good. I think it's very useful," Lin Wuming nodded in agreement.

The chairman smiled: "This is exactly what I wanted to say next. Student Lin Wuming, I hope you can also be a teacher to train our Judgment members—in terms of practical combat."

"Ah? Me, a training teacher?" Lin Wuming pointed at himself, "But I'm still receiving training."
