Fighting Master
"We will meet again when the bells of the end of the century ring!"
Kuroba Kaito walked to the window, threw a smoke bomb, and transformed into a white figure that flew into the sky. "Goodbye! Great Detective!"
Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath.
He suppressed the urge to beat Fujino up.
Even if we fight, we can't beat them.
Get out of the way first.
"Hehe."
Fujino stood by the window, calmly watching Kaito Kid into the distance.
If he remembers correctly, this should be the prequel to the Last Wizard of the Century.
But why is this guy talking to him?
That makes sense. It seems that if this guy really goes against the Suzuki family, they will most likely hire him to protect the treasure.
It looks like he's going to make a fortune again.
The Suzuki family is known for their lavish spending.
Fujino still vividly remembers the scene when Mrs. Suzuki casually took out five million yen last time.
Early the next morning, two police helicopters landed in the backyard of the villa as the sun rose in the east. Tanaka Kikue had been forcibly brought to her senses, surrendered herself to the police under the guidance of Fujino.
It's night, the Fujino family.
After a long day, Fujino returned home, sat on the sofa, and opened the system interface.
A system light screen appeared before me, flashing with a notification:
[Soul Lotus Root Level Up! Current Level: 2 - Gained Ability: (Soul Wings)]
[Detective Profession Mission Detected: The Magic Party Murder Case]
[System Reward: One million yen, one hundred Detective Reputation have been issued]
"Soul Wings?"
Fujino glanced at the notification that the Soul Lotus had been upgraded.
Immediately, the system interface opened:
[Soul Lotus Root: Level 2 (0|500)]
Soul Wings: (Wings made of pure Soul Power, which can temporarily grant the Soul Lotus the ability to fly; Note: Using them will consume a large amount of mental energy.)
"The ability to fly?"
Fujino scrutinized the system introduction, smacked his chin, and said, "The skills obtained from the Soul Lotus are incredibly overpowered."
Flying is arguably one of the skills that humankind has always dreamed of.
Naturally, Fujino also wanted to fly.
Although he already had a grappling Grappling Gun, its application was very limited.
If in a specific situation there are no buildings nearby that can support his weight and allow him to hook onto them, then the Grappling Gun will be ineffective.
Although the flight skill cannot be directly added to him, it is still quite good that it can be used on the Soul Lotus.
After all, he can open the Soul Lotus, which is practically equivalent to him being able to fly.
Then, he turned his attention to the system's balance interface:
Current balance: 5.8 million yen
Five million eight hundred thousand yen?
Fujino looked at the system interface, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.
His two main goals now are to open a shop and upgrade his fighter's profession. Without the system discount, the two goals will cost a total of six million yen.
He currently has 5.8 million yen, and is about 300,000 yen short.
300,000 yen is the minimum, since what's needed to open a shop is definitely more than 3 million yen, close to 4 million.
Opening a store is a gradual process, which means it will take some time to recoup the three million.
After a moment's thought, Fujino made a decision.
Let's improve the Fighting Expert first.
[2.67 million yen has already been consumed for the host]
[Fighter's Professional Breakthrough]
[New Class: Fighting Master, has been assigned to the host's class interface]
"Fighting Master?"
Fujino asked in confusion, but it was within his expectations and not too outrageous.
If he were upgraded to some kind of Master Rape, that would be a bit much.
Without much thought, Fujino opened the system's job interface and began to examine the Fighting Master's job skills:
Fighting Master: Level 1 (0|500)
Professional skills:
Fighting Master (You have made significant achievements in the field of fighting, mastering a large number of fighting techniques and a variety of gorgeous and varied fighting stances)
Fierce Iron Fist: Level 3 (Increases host's strength by 60%; increases host's all attributes by 60% when fighting bare-handed)
Fighting Spirit: Level 1 (Beginner: Increases host's perception and reaction speed by 20%; when fighting bare-handed, gains 20% fighting spirit)
Combat Insight: Passive Skill (During combat, the host will have a 20% chance to predict the opponent's movements)
Currently available points: 2
"Does it boost fighting spirit and all attributes when fighting bare-handed?"
Fujino rubbed his chin as he examined the Fighting Master's professional skills. "Even the passive skill 'Combat Insight,' which allows for prediction, has had its trigger probability increased by 10%."
Of course, these are just the publicly available data.
The moment he earned the title of Fighting Master, Fujino's mind was filled with many memories related to fighting.
Those memories seemed to be innate, existing in his mind.
The breakthrough for Fighting Master has roughly the same effect as breakthroughs for other professions.
Both methods break through the upper limit of professional skills and also gain some additional effects.
After a moment's thought, Fujino allocated all two points he had acquired.
[Fierce Iron Fist: Level 4 (Increases host's strength by 80%; increases host's all attributes by 80% when fighting bare-handed)
Fighting Spirit: Level 2 (Increases host's perception and reaction speed by 40%; grants 40% fighting spirit when fighting bare-handed)
Fujino believed that the Fierce Iron Fist and Fighting Spirit were branches of physical and mental enhancement.
Iron Fist focuses on attack, while Fighting Spirit focuses on reaction and perception, along with a bit of pressure on the enemy.
The feeling of oppression is a very unpredictable thing.
In actual combat, Fujino had a deep understanding of this. As long as the opponent carried a bag of rice up and down several floors first, then the battle was essentially half won.
In the stillness of the night, Fujino lay in bed.
With a thought, he activated the Soul Lotus, changed into Assassin's Robe, and climbed out of the window at the back of the third floor.
Having acquired new flying skills, he naturally wanted to give them a try.
At night, police lights flashed and sirens pierced the peaceful night in Beika Town, revealing a scene of prosperity and flourishing.
Fujino drove his Soul Lotus on a motorcycle, wandering the streets.
Soon, he spotted a dark figure on a rooftop not far away.
The figure was dressed in ninja attire, with a dark blue top and a black and blue headscarf covering its face.
Even more outrageous, right before Fujino's eyes, the ninja leaped from one rooftop to the top of another without making a sound.
"Holy crap, lightness skill?"
Fujino stared at the ninja who clearly defied common sense and was immediately taken aback.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
In the Conan World, anything outrageous seems perfectly reasonable.
Suddenly, a system notification sounded, interrupting Fujino's thoughts. "A new job quest has been detected. Please check it!"
"System Task has been triggered?"
Fujino was taken aback upon hearing the voice, and then opened the System Task interface.
Then, a job-related quest appeared on the quest interface:
Detective Profession Mission: The Phantom Thief Edogawa Kid
Mission objective: Arrest Edogawa Kid
Mission Reward: One million yen, one hundred Detective Reputation points
"Edogawa Kid?"
Fujino looked at the system interface, and the name 'Ninja' seemed to remind him of something.
He must have seen this title in the newspaper a while ago.
Edogawa Kid.
Of course, it wasn't the Grim Reaper Edogawa, but the robber Edogawa.
This Edogawa Kid is a petty thief and robber who roams the entire Japan peninsula.
He was called Edogawa Kid because his modus operandi was like that of a thief in a Japan period drama. He often used his agile body to rob and steal, and when he was arrested by the police, he always used very strange agility to leap over walls and escape the police's pursuit.
"A thief who killed someone after his identity was exposed?"
If he remembers correctly, this guy should be the serial killer in the traveling theater troupe murder case.
Edogawa Kid's true identity is that of a staff member in a theater troupe.
The reason they travel all over the country is because the troupe is touring the country.
In the traveling theater troupe murder case, the reason this guy committed the murder was because the troupe leader saw through his true identity.
To be honest, this is the kind of person that Fujino despises the most.
At least Kuroba Kaito Kid is someone he can take a liking to.
Although they were thieves, they didn't steal from the poor; they targeted the wealthy.
That Edogawa Kid, it's one thing for him to steal from ordinary people, but when he was discovered, he actually tried to kill them to cover it up.
"Since the System Task, let's take care of this potential murderer while we're at it..."
After pondering for a moment, Fujino put away his motorcycle, used his Soul Wings, and took to the air. His white robe fluttered in the wind as he chased after Edogawa Kid.
Edogawa Kid leaped from the rooftop and landed on the roof of another house.
He looked around and began searching for his prey for the night.
Soon, he found his prey for the night under a street lamp.
A woman walking alone at night.
The woman had short hair and was wearing a smart suit.
Judging from his perspective, she must be an office lady who just got home from working overtime.
Yes, he's a good target for robbery.
He made his decision very quickly.
First, go up and knock that woman down, then take all the money from her.
Tonight, he amassed over 500,000 yen, but to be honest, that didn't satisfy him.
Let's see how much money this woman has.
On the other side, Fujino followed Edogawa Kid and also spotted the woman being targeted.
"This is going to be interesting."
Fujino stood on the rooftop, looking at the woman he was being targeted, and couldn't help but reveal an unkind smile.
That woman was none other than Sato Miwako, whom he would call the Beika Fury.
Good heavens, it's Sato Miwako again.
Didn't he remember that she had a car?
How do I walk home at night after get off work?
And that office lady uniform...
He realized that Sato Miwako might be setting a trap for law enforcement again.
Entrapment 2.0?
Edogawa Kid, he actually attracted even that Beika Fury.
