A dark shadow fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.

"What? Is there anyone else?!"

It was only at this time that the robed man and his accomplices reacted and turned to look at Fang Zheng. At this moment, Fang Zheng bent down, holding the sword with his left hand and pressing his right hand on the hilt, posing in the Iai posture.

“Fire!!”

Although he didn't know who the man in front of him was, the man in the robe still hurriedly gave orders - but that was all.

No one knows what exactly happened.

Even the red-haired girl was the same. She only saw the man's figure suddenly disappear, and then several sharp sword lights suddenly appeared, and even the space seemed to be distorted and shattered like cut glass. Then, she saw that the man appeared behind the robe man and others at some point, and the Japanese sword in his hand was still in the state of being unsheathed, as if he had not drawn the sword at all.

Then, Fang Zheng slowly sheathed his sword.

“Crack.”

“Aa ...

Along with a slight sound, the next moment, screams and splattering blood rang out at the same time. Led by the man in the long robe, all the gangsters had their arms cut off from the elbows. Their arms and the guns in their hands were cut into pieces, and they fell to the ground screaming, rolling desperately.

"Humph, trash."

Fang Zheng stood up and glanced coldly at the gangsters. Then, he turned his gaze to the red-haired girl and took a good look at her before speaking.

"How long are you going to stay there? Why don't you put on your clothes?"

“Oh, oh…”

The red-haired girl seemed to be frightened by the scene before her. After hearing Fang Zheng's words, she came to her senses. She blushed and hurriedly picked up her clothes from the ground. She turned around and changed her clothes quickly. Then she turned around and looked at Fang Zheng again.

"Thank you, um..."

"ah!!!"

However, before the red-haired girl could finish her words, suddenly, screams were heard again. The two turned around and saw that among the hostages, a young woman suddenly took out a pistol and pointed it at the hostage next to her.

"Everyone, stop moving! If you do anything unnecessary, I will kill this woman!"

"Are there any accomplices?"

Seeing this, the red-haired girl was shocked, while Fang Zheng yawned out of boredom. What's so strange about this? Many criminals in Conan's world do this. He has long been accustomed to it, and... Fang Zheng is not without a solution.

"Go ahead, Julie."

"Ja!"

As Fang Zheng finished his words, suddenly, a petite black shadow fell from the sky and landed on the woman. Then Julie grabbed her arm and threw the gun in the woman's hand aside with force, and then pressed her to the ground.

Just like that, the turmoil was completely quelled, and after receiving the news that the criminals inside had been completely subdued, the police outside rushed in and sent all the criminals who were lying on the ground wailing to the hospital - after all, their hands were broken, and if they continued like this they would have to be sent directly to the crematorium.

As the parties involved in the incident, Fang Zheng and Julie were also questioned by the police. However, the Dawn Agency still had some influence. Jiujiu Sakuya made a phone call and solved all the problems. Of course, the only thing left was to report back to school.

"You really are capable of stirring up trouble."

Looking at Fang Zheng in front of him, Jiujiu Sakuya sighed helplessly, while Fang Zheng just raised his eyebrows.

"How surprising! Did I ask them to rob the mall? It's their problem that they didn't rob the bank but came to me to die. It's not mine."

"By the way, you should have a better solution."

If it was just about fighting crime, then this would be a good thing. But Fang Zheng was too ruthless and directly chopped off the arms of all the criminals, which was... hard to say.

"They are just a bunch of scum. I didn't kill them all. Should I consider it as a good deed for their ancestors? Or should I just kill them?"

"…Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Jiujiu Sakuya seemed to remember why he was imprisoned at that time, and sighed helplessly... Compared with before, it was really an improvement that he did not kill the other party directly now.

"Never mind. It's not important."

Fang Zheng shamelessly turned the page and changed the subject without any disguise.

"Speaking of which, we met a girl in the mall. She has a very strange power... well, similar to the Dawn Star Mark... Do you have any idea about it?"

"...You mean Princess Stella... That's right."

Hearing this, Kyuju Sakuya's expression also became serious.

"You will all know it sooner or later. Now that you have seen it, I will tell you directly..."

Previously, Jiujiu Sakuya had told Fang Zheng that originally there were eight chaebols that controlled this place, but later, because they monopolized the research of universal ore, six of them gradually became more powerful, while the other two chaebols became weaker. One of them was the Dawn Organization, and the other was... the Kurogane Family.

According to Kujuku Sakuya, this world originally had a kind of existence that could manifest its soul as an "inherent spiritual outfit" and was called the Bladebreaker. The Kurogane family was the representative of this faction. Before the "Falling Star Shower" incident, the Kurogane family used this power to gain a firm foothold in Japan. Because only they had the skills and means to train Bladebreakers, and there were very few Bladebreakers at that time.

However, after the "Falling Star Shower" incident, the Star Vein Generation was born, and more and more people possessed extraordinary powers. The Black Iron Family, which had always followed the ancient teachings, or was conservative, still insisted on using the old methods to train swordsmen, and failed to keep up with the changes of the times. As a result, they were suppressed by the other six chaebols.

So the Black Iron Family had to choose to cooperate with the Dawn Organization. At that time, it was Jiujiu Sakuya's grandfather who was in charge of this research. In fact, the Dawn Star Mark was originally based on the concept of the Blade Cutter, and achieved its goal by weaponizing the soul. The reason why the Black Iron Family was willing to assist the Dawn Organization was also very simple. Although the Blade Cutter was very powerful, the talent of the Blade Cutter itself was one in ten thousand, which meant that it was hard to say whether there was one in ten thousand people.

In the past, the Black Iron Family was very proud of this, but now with the Huang-style weapons, they can mass-produce Star Vein Generation warriors comparable to the Bladebreakers. As a result, the Black Iron Family, which has no numerical advantage, naturally feels the pressure.

Since the Universal Ore has been monopolized by the six major financial groups, the Black Iron Family cannot bring themselves to ask for a share of it, so they simply cooperate with the Dawn Organization and continue on the path of training swordsmen.

To put it simply, the Dawn Organization is responsible for turning the Swordsmen, which were previously only activated through talent, into ones that can be mass-produced, and the Black Iron Family will be responsible for training them, so as to break the monopoly of the six major financial groups on reaction ore.

Originally it was like this...

“Are you working together now?”

Fang Zheng clearly saw that the red-haired girl came wearing a different school badge.

"It's over."

Jiujiu Sakuya sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"My grandfather had a good cooperation with them at that time, but after my grandfather died, they thought that I could not inherit his research. Moreover, the Black Iron family has always been stubborn and conservative. Many people in the family have always been dissatisfied with the mass production of the Feller's technology... Humph, you don't even know what era it is, and you still hold on to your old ideas. You deserve this."

At this point, Jiujiu Sakuya also felt somewhat resentful. After all, if the Aurora Organization and the Kurogane Family had joined forces, they would have had a chance to fight against the other six chaebols. However, due to their boring self-esteem and conservative thinking, they terminated the cooperation after his grandfather passed away. As a result... there is no communication between the two sides now.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. After all, although the Kurogane family was defeated, at least there is still a school like the Pojun Academy that has been educating the sword cutters. It’s just that these were all secrets before, but are now on the stage.

It's nothing like the Dawn Institution. The school was newly built, and even the students have to be attracted by free food and accommodation and large sums of money. No wonder others look down on them.

"I don't want to say it, but... compared to the inherent spiritual equipment over there, our people are so weak."

Fang Zheng answered silently. When he was enjoying the underwear show of the girl named Stella, he also observed her fighting. Although in terms of physical fitness, the student who was strengthened by the Dawn Star Mark was much stronger than the other party. But the inherent spiritual equipment there had the advantage of possessing a variety of powers similar to magic.

It's like a battle between a warrior and a mage. The warrior raises his sword and rushes forward, and the mage casts Oil and then five fireballs. No matter how powerful you are, you can only wait to be burned to death.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that a warrior cannot defeat a mage. If the warrior is very strong, it is possible to do it.

But considering the quality of the students in the academy right now...

Fang Zheng said it was difficult, really difficult.

"There is nothing we can do about it."

Jiujiu Sakuya also knew what Fang Zheng said, but what else could she do?

"By the way, tomorrow we have to choose the Twin Blades. Have you made your decision?"

"Of course not. No one wants to team up with me, right? It's pretty relaxing to be alone."

"Why……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's indifferent answer, Jiujiu Sakuya sighed helplessly, then she took out an injection from the drawer and placed it in front of Fang Zheng.

"Because of your behavior in this incident, the academy has decided to reward you with a rank upgrade. You understand what I mean, right?"

"If you really have to find an excuse, why don't you just give me 99 at a time and let me level up to 99?"

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, then picked up the injection and stabbed it into his neck. Soon, the dawn star pattern appeared on his chest again.

"Then I wish you can reach the Absolute Double Blade soon."

Staring at Fang Zheng, Jiujiu Sakuya spoke again.

Fang Zheng’s answer to this is…

"Let me think about it."
