Detective Academy

"This park is administered by the Dan Detective School.", "So the school owns this whole place!?", "No way!"

Conan gets an unpleasant feeling from Saburomaru like trying to sabotage the group. The tall ponytail boy's name is Kintarou Tooyama and somewhat descendant of the famous Tooyama Kinshirou (Conan doesn't know who is it) listening from Kazuma's information on his laptop.

"Hey hey! How the hell do you know that?" Surprisingly Kintarou.

"I've been searching the net! (Wireless). See! Minami Megumi is in the National Gifted Research Center, it's on the site. You have a photographic memory!" says Kazuma and keep going collecting information of wavy hair college guy. "And you are Saburomaru Yutakain the same program with an 180 IQ, and you go to Tokyo University!"

Conan blinks when Kazuma says an information about Conan Edogawa and it is surprising Kazuma lots, "Conan Edogawa aka Kid Killer was in a few newspapers, mostly relates to Kaito Kid, the Phantom Thief heists that he return jewels from the thief. He has a group calls 'Junior Detective Club' they are the same age as Conan; they have solved few robbery cases, murder cases, robbery-murder cases and kidnapping cases. He lives with famous detective known as Sleeping Kogoro!" The group astonishes about the young boy and Conan feels shrink by their eyes wide open as what the heck are you. "One more, he is well known in the police department in a few regions. Even some of them ask Conan for help!"

"Impossible!" Saburomaru faints.

Kintarou thought of Conan is kind of interesting guy has full of mystery and wearily of him.

"Wow, you are some genius?" Star-struck Kyuu and Conan shrugs 'you should say that'. "Who is Sleeping Kogoro?"

"What! I have many questions, but not now!" Exclaims Megu. "Oh yes! I remember! I have seen you in the newspaper! I still can't believe it! I do not know you live with famous Detective Mouri the Sleeping Kogoro!" She glares at Kyuu, as answers, "Sleeping Kogoro! Detective Mouri solve the case when he sleeps!"

Conan is sheepish in a thought that was me.

"Ooo, wow! Is that even possible?" Confused Kyuu.

The others shrug as 'it just happens'.

"I have no data on that guy," says Kazuma look at Kyuu.

"I'm Kyuu!" grinning Kyuu.

"Ooh, we must follow the culprit!" shouts Kyuu. "He is crossing the bridge!"

The group arrives at the bridge "Huh? He just crossed this rickety bridge!" says Kintarou.

"We should hurry! He's getting away!" yells Kyuu.

"Wait! Kyu-kun!" Exclaims Megu stops them. "This might be another trap!"

Saborumaru puts up nice guy act, "Yeah, Megu-chan is right! I will cross first and test it out!" Conan's eyes narrow and know he is hiding something.

"Wow... You are amazing! You risk your life for us! I totally respect you!" Kyuu grins.

"That Saburomaru guy is unexpectedly friendly!" Kintarou frowns and Megu agrees with him strange about Saburomaru. They are watching Saburomaru and Kazuma cross the bridge while Conan searches for a warning sign and he finds a hole.

'The bridge must have a warning sign about weight limit because it seems wore out.' Conan inspects carefully; The hole is new and fresh someone removes warning sign very recently! I can't believe that guy! Saburomaru! I better warn them!'

"Wait!" Shouts Conan, in panic.

Too late the bridge collapses, Kyuu and Kintarou fall into the river, Megu is safe because saved by Kintarou.

"Crap! What are we going to do?" Frenzy Conan.

"Conan! Language! A kid shouldn't say that" Megu muse to the thought of the young kid swears. "They promise me. I'm sure they will be okay. Let's find another bridge."

Conan nods, "I hope I can meet them again!"

"Me too," says wearily Megu.

Conan and Megu find a second bridge along with Kazuma in their view and Kazuma joins in crossing the bridge together. Conan is relieved when he saw Kyuu and Kintarou getting out of the river. He walks away from Megu and Kazuma quietly and heading toward Kyuu and Kintarou.

"Hi Kyuu-nii and Kintarou-san"

The teenager boys' heads snap to Conan and Kyuu greets, "Hey Conan! Have you seen Megu and others?"

"They are doing fine, they will make a time for the exam," says smiling Conan.

"Great!"

The boys hear a voice "Help me!" from the below cliff, they are looking down and find a hiker is at the bottom. Conan looks at the hiker, and he finds very strange about it. Few things Conan finds to be odd, the beanie is clean and new, bottom of the shoe is spotless like never walk, the top cover of the sneakers worn out, and the cane it held isn't right for hiking tool. So this is a test.

"I can't just leave an injured man here! Just hang in there I'll go and get help!" says boldly Kintarou climbs down the cliff.

"Wait! Kinta!" Kyuu attempts to stop him from climbing down all way to the bottom. "Let's keep following him!"

"Wha. What!" Stuns and confuses Kinta.

"If we help him we will fail the first exam!"

"He is right!" says Conan.

"Not you too little boy!" Kintarou explosions in anger, "You two punks! You guys sure fooled me all you care about is the exam! You? Even abandon someone injured to finish?! That's not what detectives do!" He grabs Kyuu's shirt bring closer to his face and giving a furious glare at Conan.

"If I explain now we will lose them! Leaving this guy is the right thing to do!" says nervously Kyuu.

"Leaving him... Is the right thing?" Kintarou lowers his voice.

Kintarou find determines in Kyuu's eyes and he says in a confident, "Please believe Conan and me!"

"Tch! Fine! I will believe both of you right now. But I will kill you if I don't like your reason!" Kintarou and Kyuu are running off fast to follow the examiner have left Conan behind.

"You have to kid me!" Conan disbelief.

A pretender hiker shouts out, "Where do you guys go?! Aren't you going to help me!? Hey hey!"

"Hey, Uncle!" Conan yells back.

"Little boy! Are you going to help me?"

Conan ignores as asking, "Where is your wheelchair?"

He sees the pretender hiker's face ingeniously surprised.

"So do you have a wheelchair!"

The old man with goatee chuckles softly and finds him fascinating same goes to Kyuu, "What is your name boy? Aren't you suppose to be going to the exam by now?"

"My name is Conan Edogawa. I guess going now. Bye Uncle!" Conan is about to run, but an interruption by the siren warning a dam is beginning open. "Uncle! Are you except the dam open today!"

"Don't worry about me!"

Conan witness awesome gadget the old man have, pulls a string from his watch, then throw and the string hooks a branch and lift him up. "Cool gadget! I want one!" 'I'm so telling professor about this!'

The branch snaps. "Aaah! Uncle!" yelling out fear Conan. The man holds it like his life is depending on it.

Kyuu runs, drops, and grabs old man's arm trying to pull him up. Conan takes off his suspender, put around the tree stretching the suspender and give it to Kyuu, as saying, "HOLD IT!" Conan clicks a button to pulling them up, and it's succeeded.

"Interesting gadget you have Conan-kun!" a lot grin from Kyuu.

Conan sighs out of relieving a bit exhausting, but he doesn't have time to rest, and then he runs off to leave them behind.

Second Exam - Classroom

Conan enters the classroom with out of breath, walking slowly toward the desk and grab the quiz paper then find the available desk to sit. He sits down and look at the quiz paper and can tell few difficult questions to answer.

I can't believe little brat is here! Doesn't matter too bad for him, the quiz is too hard for him. When Saburomaru thought of Conan, he spits his name.

Megu is happy Conan made it, but worrying about Kyuu. She shakes her mind off, then back to the quiz.

At least you make it Conan. I hate to say I'm surprised. I don't mean to run off and forget about you, forgive me. Kintarou thought wearily. Where is Kyuu? What happen to him? Doesn't matter, just focus on the test.

Conan smiles when he saw Kyuu enters a classroom and the exam end in 10 minutes.

Saburomaru is having a fit!

Megu and Kintarou are quite happy.

Megu and Kintarou amazed at Kazuma finish quiz first and left classroom quick.

The bell is ringing as the exam ended! Conan has overheard that Kyuu only answered one question, Megu and Kinta faint by hearing about it. Conan shakes his head wondering is Kyuu going to be fine.

The Second Exam finish.

"Where is Conan? We don't see him all day," frowning Ayumi.

"Maybe he got cold again!" a groaning loudly from Genta.

"Why don't we visit Conan-kun's place?" Mitsuhiko suggests.

"Great idea! Let's go!" Exclaims Ayumi, runs off and the boys follow behind.

Mouri Resident

Ran prepares a dinner by chopping vegetables. She hears the doorbell rings from down stair. She goes and open the door, the detective boys, Conan's friends are standing there.

"Hi, if you ask about Conan and he isn't." Ran's smile soften when she sees kids.

"Where is Conan?" shyly Ayumi.

"He didn't tell you?"

"Tell us what?" The detective boys ask out of curiosity.

Ran put hands on her hip and eyes narrow, "I see. He didn't tell you." Ran gave a flyer to detective boys. "That where he is going. He promises me to tell you. I can't believe it Conan-kun."

The detective boys are dropping jaws at the flyer, "WHAT HE TOOK EXAM WITHOUT US! DETECTIVE SCHOOL!"

"Maybe he thinks that he is too good for us!" outrage Genta, crossing his arms over his chest.

"No, no. Not Conan-kun! Impossible," whimpers Ayumi.

"I have except it. He acted weird yesterday like to keep secret from us," Mitsuhiko shakes his head.

"Why you do not tell us sooner?!"

"I forget, sorry guys."

Ran shakes her head, disappointment as saying, "You can go home. I have to talk with Conan-kun."

After the detective boys left. Ran starts cooking dinner; then she hears the door opens and closes.

"Ran-nee, I'm home! I have a long day!" Conan sits down on the floor next to a coffee table, exhaustion.

"Conan-kun... I have to talk you about..." Ran eyes narrow at Conan. He gasps slowly, hear a voice from Ran call his alias name in a stern tone.
