Conan: Above force, everything is truth!

Xiaolan and Sonoko also realized something, and looked at Mr. Takami beside them embarrassedly and apologized.

At this moment, Kajiyoshi on the side yelled in dissatisfaction, "I say! What are you talking about?! Do you really take me seriously?!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

Having said that, he waved to the two tall and strong subordinates behind him.

The two immediately rubbed their hands and walked towards Mr. Takami.

Seeing this, Kyogoku Makoto immediately prepared to step forward.

"Mr. Kajiyoshi, I am receiving guests now. Can you please wait for that matter?" Mr. Takami looked at the three people in front of him calmly and said lightly.

"Humph! Forget it... Then I'll come back later. But don't forget, you said you wanted to sell this place, so we came here!" Mr. Kajiyoshi stopped his two subordinates and turned to walk out of the dojo.

Everyone in the dojo looked at the back of the sudden appearance of 'Mr. Kajiyoshi' in silence, with a lot of thoughts.

"Okay, let's take a break! The venue has become like this, let's do the basic training again and then disband!" Mr. Takami looked at the children on the side and clapped his hands.

Kyogoku Shinzo bowed his head in embarrassment and apologized to everyone.

Everyone didn't notice that two children clenched their teeth at this time and looked at Mr. Takami with a serious face.

Due to the sudden intrusion of three men into the dojo, Ryuno and Kyogoku Shinzo were forced to stop fighting.

Soon after, Ryuno and others were led into the office by Mr. Takami.

Looking at the teacup in front of him, Tatsuno looked at Mr. Takami with embarrassment, "Sorry, Kyogoku and I will definitely find someone to help you fix the floor..."

Mr. Takami waved his hand, "It's okay, you don't have to take it to heart. Maybe this is the will of heaven... This dojo seems to have come to an end..."

Hearing this, Kyogoku Makoto immediately sat up straight and asked, "Teacher, are you really going to sell this place?"

Mr. Takami sighed, "Alas, I'm old too. It's time to return the honorary black belt and prepare to retire..."

"How could it be... ”

“It’s a pity, but there is no successor qualified to inherit the Tenjin-ryu Dojo. I think it’s better to just close this place.”

“But in my opinion, you are still as good as ever!”

“No, I don’t have the courage I once had. Especially the courage to wear the ‘honorary black belt’…”

At this point, Mr. Takami glanced at Kyogoku Makoto and Ryuno, and smiled helplessly: “It would be great if you two were my disciples…”

Just as Kyogoku Makoto was about to continue speaking, he suddenly remembered something and stood up and walked out of the office.

A few seconds later, a sound like glass breaking reached Ryuno and others.

Everyone immediately stood up and left the office, walking towards the place where the sound came from.

At this time, Kyogoku Makoto stood in front of the honor display cabinet of the dojo with his eyes closed.

The door and the lock on the honor display cabinet were broken by Kyogoku Makoto.

The children and adult members in the dojo also gathered around the honor cabinet at this time.

Apparently, the glass breaking sound just now was caused by Kyogoku Makoto.

In the honor cabinet are various certificates, trophies and "honorary black belts" that the "Tenjin-ryu Dojo" has won since its establishment.

Looking at the broken cabinet door and the long-lost "honorary belt", Mr. Takami looked at Kyogoku Makoto in astonishment, "Kyogoku, what are you doing?!"

Kyogoku Makoto kept his eyes closed, "If it was me... what would you do?"

"What? Can you please give me an explanation?" Mr. Takami did not get angry, but frowned.

"Regarding the closure of the dojo... I hope you can cancel it!" Kyogoku Makoto opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Takami seriously.

Mr. Takami stared at Kyogoku Makoto's eyes for a few seconds, "I'm sorry... I've already made up my mind about this."

"In that case... I want to compete with the teacher! If I win, please keep the dojo. If the teacher wins, I will return the belt to you."

"It seems that there is no room for negotiation?"

"Yes."

Mr. Takami looked at Kyogoku Makoto in front of him in silence, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his head.

If it was before, he might have accepted Kyogoku Makoto's proposal.

But now... after watching Kyogoku Makoto and Tatsuno's fight, he completely gave up this idea.

He is already a 70-year-old man, Kyogoku... you... how dare you ask me to compete?

I just want to close the dojo, and you are ready to take my life?

You keep calling me teacher, but you have been looking for an opportunity to kill me, right?

...

For a while, Mr. Takami and Kyogoku Makoto looked at each other in silence.

Tatsuno's eyes were on the two of them.He glanced at him, then shook his head helplessly.

Although he knew that it was definitely not Kyogoku who stole the "honorary black belt", and he also understood that Kyogoku did this to "protect" the real thief.

But he couldn't understand Kyogoku's train of thought.

In order to persuade the teacher to keep the dojo, you are ready to fight with the teacher? If you win, the teacher must keep the dojo?

What kind of primitive man's straightforward thinking is this...

Soft tactics don't work, so you are ready to give the teacher a "hard dish", right?

You are ready to "persuade" your teacher who looks like he is already in his seventies or eighties with your fists, right?

You are really a filial apprentice.

Didn't you notice that your teacher's face has turned a little pale?

Thinking of this, Tatsuno looked carefully at the children who were showing fear behind him, and said: "Mr. Takami, can you pause your duel for a while? Actually, I am a little curious about the children over there. Can you introduce them to us?"

"Ah? Oh...Oh! Okay!"

After hearing what Tatsuno said, Mr. Takami was stunned for a moment, and then immediately avoided Kyogoku Makoto's sight and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was thinking about how to reject Kyogoku Makoto's "deadly proposal", and now after hearing the step given by Tatsuno, he walked up without saying a word.

Kyogoku Makoto looked at Tatsuno in confusion, and didn't understand why Tatsuno suddenly interrupted him.

Obviously, he could persuade the teacher to continue to run the dojo right away? !

Seeing that the originally solemn atmosphere was broken by Tatsuno, Xiaolan and Sonoko breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, they were also a little puzzled.

Everyone was chatting happily just now, why did Kyogoku Makoto suddenly come out and destroy the cabinet, snatch the black belt, and even ask to compete with Mr. Takami.

"By the way, Mr. Takami, among these students, are there any that you remember particularly well?"

Tatsuno glanced at the children in the crowd who were obviously "problematic" at first glance, and chuckled.

Mr. Takami immediately answered, not giving Kyogoku Makoto any chance to interrupt:

"Of course! Speaking of which, I am always amazed by the growth of children!"

"Like that Hiroki Kakuda over there, his body was originally very stiff and he was not good at soft sports at all. But now he is completely different, and his body flexibility has become particularly good!"

"And the taller child next to him is called Kawaguchi Katsuto. Although he is very tall, he is very timid and always fails to show his strength in formal competitions."

"But he passed the black belt first degree exam not long ago and successfully tied the black belt!"

"There is also a child who just asked for leave to go home, named Kobashi Nobuo. He was not good at running and was always exhausted halfway, but now he can easily run the whole course!"

"..."

Seeing that two of the three children mentioned by Mr. Takami were the "problematic" children he just found, Tatsuno nodded gently.
