Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Selection Training
"...Anyway, that's how it is."
Conan finally confessed everything, including how he accidentally discovered the Black Organization's illegal transaction and was poisoned and shrunk, and how he fought wits and courage with the organization.
There was no way, he had to confess. It was not that he was not firm in his position, but Miss Saionji's smile was too scary, and her threat just hit Conan's soft spot. No matter what, he couldn't let Xiaolan be involved in these troubles, so he had to confess honestly.
Yuyin murmured, "There's actually such a magical medicine in the world..."
At this moment, Mr. Numayama had already sent Natsume and Madara away. Seeing that she seemed to have something to talk to Conan, Atobe also very tactfully made way for her.
After figuring out that Kudo Shinichi's body shrinkage had nothing to do with his special abilities or supernatural side, Yuyin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If it was just an ordinary human struggle or dispute, it would have little to do with her.
Don't get me wrong, she wasn't secretly happy that this matter wasn't within her responsibilities. Anyone with even a passing sense of justice wouldn't remain indifferent to the existence of such a massive criminal organization. Having previously worked for both Scepter 4 and the Special Ability Division, Yuyin understood very well the importance of everyone fulfilling their duties within the social division of labor. The affairs of criminal organizations were handled by the appropriate official agencies.
Besides, she was already too busy with her own affairs. Had the cursed spirit been exorcised? Had the troublesome monsters and psychics been sealed or apprehended? Had the commission been completed? How could she have the time to think about anything else?
However, Yuyin didn't know what to say about Conan's brave act of planning to fight the huge criminal empire alone. Although Conan only explained it briefly, she could fully imagine the danger involved.
This made her unable to help but offer a word of advice: "Kudo-kun, I deeply sympathize with your experience, but when it comes to fighting organized crime, it would be best if you could find a dedicated organization to help you. Personal heroism is not acceptable."
"I understand! In fact, I already know that there are forces investigating and dealing with the organization. I just don't want to hide and let others fight in the front while I hide in a safe place in the back and reap the benefits. I don't want to do that!"
When talking about this, Conan's tone was a little excited. In fact, it was not only Miss Saionji, but also his parents, the FBI and other forces, who had made similar requests to him, but he rejected them all because he could not sit idly by and watch others bleed and sacrifice without taking any action.
"Really, you, you're just a child." Yuyin sat next to Conan, looking at his wrinkled face, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his hair.
"Don't touch my head," Conan subconsciously resisted, and immediately broke away from his previous state of mind. "Ms. Saionji, have you forgotten that I am actually two years older than you?"
"Haha," Yuyin chuckled, blinked, and said mysteriously, "Who knows, maybe I'm older than you~"
Conan was combing his messed up hair, and when he heard this, he paused, "Wait," he looked at Yuyin suspiciously, "Miss Saionji, what do you mean by that? How old are you? Could it be that you are a transformed monster?"
It turns out that when a detective's imagination runs wild, you never quite know how far it can go.
Yuyin held her chin up and said lazily, "Guess?"
"Ah—" Conan said frantically, "Stop trying to keep me in suspense! How old are you?"
"Kudou-kun, a girl's age is a secret. You can't ask casually~"
"Please, your words immediately reminded me of a certain terrifying woman..."

After completing Tatsuhiko's commission and facilitating the reunion of Mr. Numayama and his son, and tricking Conan into revealing the truth about their shrinking, Tamane and Atobe's interlude journey after the forest school quickly came to an end.
But before Atobe could gather everyone in the tennis club for training, a notice instantly summoned him and most of Hyotei's people to a place in Tokyo.
Because the youth selection training is about to begin.
Specifically, in preparation for the upcoming Japan-US Youth Tennis Friendly Exchange Tournament, the authorities plan to first provide concentrated training for capable players in the Kanto region, and then select strong and suitable players from among them to participate in the exchange tournament.
Hyotei, a top-tier team in the Tokyo and Kanto regions, had five players, including captain Keigo Atobe, selected for the selection training camp. All the selected players would undergo closed-door training at the training ground until the start of the exchange tournament.
Yuyin's current long-term task is to ensure Atobe's personal safety. Once Atobe is selected, he will enter closed training, so she naturally has to go with him.
"Please give me your guidance."
Standing among the volunteers who were helping, Yuyin sighed silently.
At first glance, they're all just a bunch of brats. Besides me, the only other sophomore is Ju Xing, whom I'd seen at the street tennis court. Why don't other schools have managers or non-registration staff to help out? It's so awkward for a third-year like me to be standing here.
"Master Longma, Master Longma!"
A girl with twin ponytails on the right was still raising her hands and shouting loudly. It should be the name of the person she liked. She remembered that it seemed to be the first-year student in Qingxue. Although this enthusiastic and extraordinary behavior was very unbearable, it made people sigh that it was great to be young.
Yuyin squinted her eyes and looked at the Qingxue formation. As the champions of the Kanto competition, all the members of Qingxue were selected for this selection.
When the arrogant boy saw this, he couldn't help but cover his face with a distressed expression.
Should I also build some momentum for Jingwu and get some face back?
Yuyin rubbed her chin and thought, isn't it Atobe who usually likes to play this game the most? He brings 200 cheerleaders to every game and won't stop until the opponent's support is suppressed.
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt someone was looking at her, and she seemed to hear her own name in a trance. She shifted her gaze and found that it was also someone from the Qingxue team. If she remembered correctly, his name seemed to be Momoshiro Takeshi?
"Do you and Taocheng know each other?"
Suddenly hearing someone asking, Yuyin came back to her senses and received the curious gaze of Ju Xing next to her.
Ju Xing quickly said, "I'm sorry, I saw Tao Cheng looking at you and saying something, so I asked this. If it bothers you..."
"I don't think I know him," Yuyin thought for a moment and replied, "Apart from that time at the street tennis court, I've only seen him at the practice match between Hyotei and Seigaku. I'm not sure if he knows my name."
"Street tennis court...ah," Ju Xing was a little surprised, then suddenly realized and said as if it was just as expected, "It really is you. I was worried that I recognized the wrong person, so I didn't dare to talk to you directly."
Tamane smiled and extended her hand, saying, "Hello, I'm Tamane Saionji of Hyotei."
If she were to say, she had a much deeper impression of Anzuki. After all, this was the first and perhaps only time in the life of Master Atobe that he had teased a girl. Fortunately, no one in Hyotei knew about this except her, otherwise the girls in Atobe's fan club would have exploded.
Ju Xing quickly returned the handshake: "Hello, I'm Ju Xing."
On the stage over there, the person in charge of the training camp, Ryuuzaki Sensei from Qingxue, was giving a speech, while Yuyin and Tachibana An were whispering to each other nearby.
After the training session was over, the trainees went to the hall to check their groups, while the volunteers had other things to do, including cooking, organizing equipment and other tasks, so they had to start working from now on.
Considering that except for herself and Ju Xing, everyone else was a bunch of young kids, Yuyin took on some of the seemingly heavier tasks.
"To be honest, if you hadn't mentioned the street tennis court, I wouldn't have recognized it." said Ju Xing, who was going with her to move the ingredients.
Yuyin couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, has it changed so much?"
Thinking back, the conflict on the street tennis court happened just over three months ago. At that time, the world had not yet merged, and there were no monsters, cursed spirits, and psychics. She could still hide herself leisurely in her daily life. But after she had to show off in Hyotei for the need to protect Atobe, she no longer had to bother hiding herself. So it was very normal that Tachibana An, who had not seen her for three months, could not recognize her who had changed so much.
