Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 10 years had passed.
During these long years, Hanyu Nan always maintained his composure and restraint, never easily taking another's life.
After all, he knew very well that he was in a Detective world full of mysteries and dangers, and a slight misstep could lead him into an abyss of no return.
Hanyu Nan understood that before he could ensure he possessed enough self-defense capabilities, it was best to follow the main storyline and quietly await the grand appearance of the character known as the Death God Elementary School Student.
Only when he had successfully harvested a few souls and acquired a certain level of self-protection ability would it be his true time to shine and make his mark.
Because the feeling of not having his life under his own control in his previous life was truly unforgettable.
Thus, over these years, Hanyu Nan, with the help of the magical memory bread, successfully cultivated the image of an excellent student.
After all, as the saying goes, if you read 300 Tang poems, even if you can't compose poetry, you can still recite it.
Not to mention he could just directly memorize them.
This allowed him to easily secure first place in every exam, whether in junior high or high school, his grades always far surpassing those of his classmates.
However, this would only last until university; relying solely on memorization wouldn't solve everything.
But, glancing at Shinichi Kudo, who was slumped over his desk with a book covering his head, Yuusheng-san estimated he could only study until now.
Thinking of this, Hanyu Nan looked at his system:
(Random Item Enhancement System)
Owner: Hanyu Nan
Physique: 12 (Average adult male is 10)
Spirit: 17 (Average adult male is 10)
Spiritual Power: 5 (Average person is 0)
Item: memory bread baking machine
...Expecting students to consciously listen to class is absolutely impossible.
The teacher, hearing the whispers of the students below, frowned but quickly regained his composure.
He cleared his throat, attracting everyone's attention: "Quiet down, look at yourselves now. If you don't work hard now, are you waiting for me to help you write your exams?"
Seeing that the classroom still hadn't quieted down, the teacher continued:
"If you could achieve excellent grades like Hanyu Nan, would I still need to worry about you? As long as you don't cause trouble in my class, even if you sleep, I'd be afraid you'd catch a cold and even cover you with a jacket!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the teacher turned to Hanyu Nan, smiled slightly, and then continued to write vigorously on the blackboard.
"Tsk, it's him again! Every time he has to be brought up." Shinichi Kudo muttered impatiently from below, then picked up his textbook and covered his face with it.
Ever since Hanyu Nan transferred to Teitan High School, Shinichi Kudo, the former top student, had been out of luck for the number one spot in his grade, and he had to endure teachers from all subjects using Hanyu Nan as an example to educate them daily.
"Pop."
With a soft sound, a crumpled note landed steadily in front of Ran Mouri, who was diligently listening to the lecture.
Ran Mouri was full of questions; she picked up the note and read it, then looked around.
Soon after, she found her good friend, Suzuki Sonoko, slumped over her desk, completely hidden by a book, continuously waving at her.
Understanding Sonoko's gesture, Ran Mouri carefully opened the note, which read: "I heard Yuusheng-san won the championship again, so happy ^0^."
After reading the note, Ran couldn't help but smile. She knew it was Sonoko sharing her happiness with her again.
Sonoko, her good friend, usually loved to give advice to her and Shinichi, as if she knew a lot about love and was very experienced, but in reality, she had never been in a relationship herself!
Yet, she always put on the air of a love expert, which was truly amusing.
Now that it was her turn, Sonoko became shy and timid, only secretly admiring the other person, not daring to confess easily.
Occasionally, just making eye contact with Yuusheng-san would make Sonoko as excited as a child, and this joy would last for several days.
Speaking of which, Sonoko's feelings for Yuusheng-san had a long history.
As early as junior high, she had secretly fallen for him. It was just that Hanyu Nan wasn't studying at the same school as them then.
Their acquaintance stemmed from a grand inter-school competition for middle school students. At that time, Shinichi Kudo signed up for the competition, and Ran and Sonoko went together to cheer Shinichi on.
As a result, Shinichi lost terribly, falling far behind Hanyu Nan, who took first place. From then on, Shinichi always wanted to surpass him, but unfortunately never succeeded.
And Hanyu Nan, who stood proudly on the podium delivering his acceptance speech, was firmly remembered by Sonoko. After returning to school, Sonoko told Ran that she would get Hanyu Nan sooner or later.
This "sooner or later" kept getting later, even until the second year Hanyu Nan transferred to their school, Sonoko was still too shy to express her feelings.
Ran looked back at Hanyu Nan, who was reading, and replied on the paper: "Congratulations should be said in person. How about we go together after class to congratulate Yuusheng-san on winning the championship?"
After throwing the note back, Sonoko just glanced at it, then, like Shinichi Kudo, covered her head with a book and said nothing.
Regarding what was happening in front of him, Hanyu Nan, who was seemingly reading, actually saw everything clearly.
You know, the feeling of looking down on a group of underachievers from the perspective of a top student is truly satisfying.
The reason he hadn't actively approached the main characters all these years was the fear that if Conan didn't emerge smoothly, the system wouldn't activate, and that would be interesting.
So he had always let the plot proceed normally. If, in the end, his tiny butterfly wings still stirred up a storm,
Then, he could only say sorry to Shinichi Kudo.
My friend, I'll voluntarily defect and join the water plant. I've already thought of my codename: Hongxing Laobaigan, or Erguotou works too.
You'll have to take this APTX-4869 whether you want to or not. My happy life depends entirely on you. I'll take care of Ran and your family then...
