Conan’s Unscientific Detective Chapter 002

The next day, early in the morning, Fujino got up and washed up, combed his hair like an adult, and prepared to embrace his ten million… no, his campus life.

But just as he was about to change into his school uniform and go out, he couldn’t hold back his shock.

Where was his school uniform?

It seemed he had sold it to a junior student for a few thousand yen as a spare.

Damn it!

Helpless, he had no choice but to put on his usual suit vest in the midst of silence, habitually said “I’m leaving” to the air, and then drove his inherited Ford Taurus to school.

“Ah! I’m late!”

After parking the car, just as Fujino was about to step through the school gate, a hurried female voice came from behind him.

He turned around, looked back, and crash!

By the time Fujino regained his senses, he had already collided head-on with a girl with shoulder-length brown hair.

“What the heck?”

Fujino rubbed his tailbone, complaining in pain.

Looking up, the girl from just now had already gotten up and was bowing, apologizing to him, “I’m sorry, Ms. Hiratsuka!”

“Huh?”

Fujino was stunned for a moment, looking at the girl in front of him, feeling a bit familiar… Sonoko Suzuki?

“Eh? Eh eh eh!”

Sonoko Suzuki looked up, turned her head left and right, examining him for a long time, and after a moment of confusion, she shouted loudly at Fujino, “You’re not Ms. Hiratsuka!”

“I’m not, you idiot!”

Fujino retorted, then added slyly, “But you can call me Mr. Fujino!”

“Oh oh oh oh!”

Sonoko Suzuki nodded like a pecking chick.

However, after carefully examining Fujino’s features, she felt he was a bit handsome, and her heart immediately blossomed. Then she asked, “Is Mr. Fujino a new teacher?! How old are you? Where do you live? Do you have a girlfriend?”

Well, Fujino looked older due to his mental exhaustion. Although he was only eighteen, he probably looked like he was in his twenties.

“What are you two doing here?”

At this moment, a mature female voice came from inside the school gate.

Fujino turned his head and saw a woman in a suit vest and a red tie walking towards them.

As she walked, she asked Sonoko Suzuki, “Suzuki-san, you’re not late again, are you?”

The teacher named Hiratsuka interrupted Sonoko Suzuki’s infatuated gossip.

Sonoko could only look back and left reluctantly.

After Sonoko left, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned her head to examine this young man who seemed to be a colleague.

A black suit vest, a red tie, wearing glasses, looking a bit haggard. Good heavens, if she hadn’t said anything, she would have really thought he was a newly transferred colleague!

And he even wore the same outfit as her!

Secretly thinking that this kid had good taste, she then spoke, “So, you must be Fujino-kun, who hasn’t shown up for half a year, right?”

Fujino nodded, not knowing what to say.

She asked in confusion, “Where’s your school uniform?”

Fujino scratched the back of his head, “Sold it.”

“Huh?”

Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment, her eyebrow twitching. She suppressed the anger in her heart, clenching her fists with a black expression, “I thought you just didn’t want to come to school, but I didn’t expect you to even sell your school uniform… Come with me to the staff room, Fu-ji-no-kun!”

“Yes!”

And so, Fujino was dragged to the staff room by this violent beauty.

Inside the staff room.

“So, this is why you don’t come to school? You actually went to be a detective or something. At your age, you should be focusing on your studies.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka had a cigarette in her mouth, wanting to light it but couldn’t find a lighter anywhere…

Then, with a click, Fujino handed her a light.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was stunned for a moment, and after lighting her cigarette, she asked in surprise, “How do you have a lighter?”

Fujino: “…”

Seeing that Fujino had nothing to say, Shizuka Hiratsuka gently stroked her forehead, took a deep puff, and subconsciously lectured him, “I really don’t know what you’re thinking. You skip classes and fool around outside every day. Don’t you feel sorry for your parents who support your education?”

Fujino’s cheek twitched… Good heavens, does she not do background checks before lecturing people?

After letting out a long sigh, he said calmly, “Actually, I’m an orphan.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka: “…”

Her pupils widened slightly, and the cigarette butt in her hand slipped and fell onto the desk, sparking… After a moment, she frantically picked it up.

“I’m sorry…”

After extinguishing the cigarette butt, she apologized softly, feeling guilty.

“It’s okay, I’m used to it!”

Fujino said with a smile.

Finally, she could only pat Fujino’s shoulder with a guilty heart, “If you have any difficulties, just come to me.”

And so, Fujino finally dealt with this strange Japanese language teacher.

After Fujino left, Shizuka Hiratsuka found Ran and asked about Fujino.

“Ms. Hiratsuka, are you talking about Fujino-senpai?”

Ran thought for a moment, then slowly said, “Fujino-senpai not coming to school might be because his parents passed away a year ago… Before that, his grades were always very good, but ever since they passed away, he rarely came to school because he was held back due to missed classes.”

“When I went to Senpai’s house yesterday, he seemed to be troubled by a case commission.”

“So that’s how it is…”

Apparently, she already knew what was going on.

If this kid was an orphan, everything would be easy to explain.

He usually didn’t come to school because he was working part-time to earn living expenses… His scrawny body must be living very frugally… He might even be bullied by delinquents outside of school…

Thinking of this, she felt deep guilt for the words she had casually uttered earlier.

For some reason, she felt like she had become an unforgivable villain.

After Ran left, she suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and shouted loudly like a passionate teacher, “I will absolutely not allow you to be expelled!”

Inside the classroom, Fujino sat by the window, listening to the gibberish of the middle-aged teacher on the podium, and couldn’t help but sneeze.

“I feel like someone’s cursing me?”

Fujino muttered to himself, and before he could regain his senses, a voice sounded in his ear: “Ding! Detecting that the host has completed the mission, system rewards have been issued!”

As soon as the words fell, Fujino understood that he had finally escaped the fate of being expelled.

It seemed that it was the woman named Hiratsuka who had done it.

He nodded, feeling emotional.

Although that person smoked and liked to bring up others’ painful pasts, she was indeed a good woman.

Immediately, he opened the so-called career system that had just been bound.

A lonely light screen floated in front of him, displaying the basic attributes of his profession.

[Name: Fujino

Current Profession:

Main Profession: Detective: Junior ( 100 reputation points remaining until next promotion)

Sub-profession:

None

Professional Skills:

Full-time Detective (Solving cases and completing commissions can earn additional bounty reputation)

Detective Time (Junior: During deduction, no one can interrupt your deduction for 60 seconds)

Current Remaining Money: 1, 053, 100 Japanese Yen (Can exchange for ten professional balls)]

From the description, this seemed to be a very simple system.

You could use money to obtain professional balls, which contained various professions and some strange items.

After binding a profession, you would have exclusive professional skills. By completing relevant tasks and missions, you could gain reputation. When reputation reached a certain level, you could gain professional points, which could be used to strengthen professional skills.

As for professional balls, they also had qualities: white, green, blue, purple, and gold. At least a purple professional ball was needed to open a profession.

Currently, one professional ball costs 100, 000 Japanese Yen, and a reward of purple quality or higher is guaranteed within 100 professional balls.

In short, this system required spending money, and a lot of cash!
