Chapter 50: Inhumane

Hoshino Mu places his finger on the second option.

【You let out a roar and issue a challenge to the other party.】

Compared to the other options.

This is the only one that can maintain the pretense of deep affection in front of a girl.

Regardless of the outcome.

At least it is honorable and upright.

【Suzuki Sonoko is in a panic, wanting to speak up and explain something to you.】

【Kyogoku Makoto interrupts Suzuki Sonoko's apology.】

【And accepts your challenge.】

【The two of you agree in the manner of a formal challenge】

【To decide the winner on the ring in half a year.】

【On the way home, you are unhappy and reticent.】

【Your mind is filled with the scene of Suzuki Sonoko being held in Kyogoku Makoto's arms.】

【Suzuki Sonoko explains to you in great anxiety.】

【At the time, she was standing in the middle of the road and was almost hit by a car.】

【The other party just happened to be passing by and saved her.】

【The two did not know each other before.】

【They only knew that the other party was the national karate champion.】

"Karate?"

Hoshino Mu pauses.

He is not concerned with affairs between men and women.

Instead, he focuses his attention on "karate."

Karate was formed by combining traditional Japanese martial arts with the Ryukyu martial art of Te.

It originated from Japanese Budo and Ryukyu's Te.

In the anime, karate competitions are divided into men's and women's groups.

Besides Mao Li Lan in the women's group.

The champion is Suzuki Sonoko's official boyfriend, Kyogoku Makoto of the men's group.

Mao Li Lan's karate rank is black belt.

Her dan rank is at least third dan.

Kyogoku Makoto.

Although he is a karate black belt like Mao Li Lan.

His level is truly at the peak.

Mere dan rankings can no longer evaluate him.

Because karate dan grading is evaluated based on both age and strength.

Fourth dan karate black belt.

Can only be obtained after achieving third dan and passing a certain age (over 30 years old).

Kyogoku Makoto is the "ceiling" of combat power in the Conan anime.

A legendary existence like a Super Saiyan.

If Mao Li Lan is rated as a B-level combat character.

Kyogoku Makoto's combat power belongs to the A+ level, which is an S-level character.

【Jealousy grows in your heart.】

【You immediately decide that you must defeat Kyogoku Makoto.】

【So you go to Mao Li Lan's home to request that she give you karate training.】

【The reason is that you want to be the strongest man in the world and protect Mao Li Lan for a lifetime.】

【Mao Li Lan pulls the corners of her mouth and chuckles a few times very reluctantly.】

【She says she accepts your good intentions.】

【But she will not agree to your request for a relationship.】

【However, if it is about karate, she can help you.】

"!"

Pretending to be affectionate at "both ends."

A master indeed.

【For the next month, you follow Mao Li Lan to the school's karate club every day for special training.】

【Because you have a solid foundation in fighting, your strength is formidable.】

【So there are few opponents in the club.】

【Only Mao Li Lan is qualified to teach you.】

【You take Mao Li Lan as your master and learn karate techniques from her every day.】

【Because you love both of them deeply in your heart, you practice very crazily.】

【You have no heart for studying, only for protecting your own love.】

【So you skip classes every day, practicing in the club day and night.】

【Half a year later, your karate technique reaches perfection.】

【You finally defeat Mao Li Lan.】

【You have finished your apprenticeship!】

"! Impressive."

Hoshino Mu nods.

This is the power of love.

To be able to defeat Mao Li Lan.

The persona's combat power is truly formidable.

【On the day of the competition, you arrive at the scene of the ring agreed upon by both parties.】

【The venue is already full of spectators, and Mao Li Lan and Suzuki Sonoko are among them.】 ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
