Chapter 201
“Fang Li, be my partner!”
The mont these words ca out of Aria’s mouth, they echoed all around in the surrounding, resounding like a reverberation. Fang Li also stopped in his tracks and the expression on his face got frozen in astonishnt.
Partner? What did that an?
Looking at Aria, and the serious expression on her face, her crimson eyes fixed on him as if she had found the most precious treasure in the world, Fang Li struggled to grasp the situation. However, seeing Aria becoming sowhat uneasy, he finally spoke up, “What... What do you an by ‘Partner’?”
“You... Why aren’t you saying anything?” Aria grinned, revealing a pair of cute tiger-like teeth, it was as if she wanted to pounce and bite Fang Li. “Is there sothing wrong with my Japanese? Or can’t you understand what I an?”
“No, your Japanese is perfect, very standard,” Fang Li replied. He couldn’t understand Japanese himself but relied on the translation ability granted by the Main God’s Dinsion to comprehend Aria’s language.
So, he had no idea how Aria’s Japanese actually sounded. But since he could understand the translated version, it ant Aria’s language was correct. He just couldn’t comprehend the aning behind her words.
“Then what does ‘Partner’ exactly an?” Fang Li asked. “Are you suggesting we form a team together?”
In Butei High, it was not uncommon for Butei to form teams. In fact, by the ti students reached their second grade, if they hadn’t ford a team yet and were still conducting Independent Action, it would be considered unusual.
By the end of September, students in their second grade had to form teams of two to eight mbers and register them with the school.
This team system was vital because Butei all had their specialties, and Butei High cultivated them accordingly, dividing them into various disciplines. In the future, if they wanted to work as Butei in society, it was essential to have a partner who could cover for their weaknesses, or else they could encounter danger at any mont.
Thus, by September, second-grade students needed to form teams based on their circumstances and register with the school. The registered teams would also be logged into the International Butei League’s database, and in the future, they would undertake activities as a team.
Even if team mbers later went their separate ways, according to the International Butei Law, team mbers could surpass their organization’s frawork and prioritize team cooperation when executing missions.
Given this context, in Butei High, Independent Action was only common among first-grade students. Second-grade students would operate in teams after September.
As it was already April, it wasn’t strange for soone to ask Fang Li to join their team. After all, Fang Li was an S-Rank Butei with a considerable reputation in the Butei world; it would be rare for soone not to want him on their team.
While thinking about this, Fang Li couldn’t help but rember how Aria had always been inquiring about him.
Finally, Fang Li let out a sigh of understanding and said, “So, you’ve been asking about all this ti to form a team with ?”
“That’s only one of the reasons,” Aria locked eyes with Fang Li and continued, “When I talk about ‘Partner,’ I don’t just an a teammate in a team.”
With her head lowered, her voice sowhat subdued, she continued, “I must have a partner; only with a partner can I unleash the true power of my family.”
“Family?” Fang Li closed his eyes and, when he opened them again, his gaze toward Aria beca extrely calm.
Then, he said, “In that case, I shall say this.”
“Kanzaki-Hols-Aria.”
As Fang Li uttered this na, Aria suddenly raised her head, her young and charming face filled with surprise.
“You... You know my real full na?” Aria exclaid in astonishnt.
“Is it so strange?” Fang Li looked at Aria’s surprised expression and smiled faintly. “After all, since the start of the third sester, you’ve been inquiring about my whereabouts and collecting information about . Since I know this, I naturally wouldn’t pretend not to have heard of you.”
Indeed, during the third sester, Fang Li had also gathered information about Aria through his own sources.
“Your full na is Kanzaki-Hols-Aria, and your ancestor is Sherlock-Hols,” Fang Li stated, looking directly at Aria. “So, you are the fourth generation of Hols.”
Sherlock-Hols.
This na was undoubtedly familiar to most people, even to those who weren’t familiar with the Butei world. In fact, it was recorded in the textbooks of Butei High.
He was a famous detective who was active over a hundred years ago in the United Kingdom. Known for his extraordinary marksmanship, Accuracy, and exceptional combat skills, he was not only a famous detective but also a Butei Prototype-like character, possessing remarkable martial abilities.
But the main ability he possessed was his remarkable and out of the world Deduction ability.
The descendant of that famous detective still remained active in the United Kingdom’s detective world today. He was even ennobled, enjoying privileges and treatnt that ordinary wealthy families couldn’t match, including owning a fiefdom.
Aria was the descendant of that famous detective.
Due to her British and Japanese mixed blood, Aria carried the Kanzaki surna. As for “Hols,” its pronunciation in French was “Ols.” Thus, in Aria’s full na, the letter “H” stood for “Hols.”
Therefore, Sherlock-Hols was Aria’s great-grandfather, and Aria was the fourth generation, carrying the blood of the famous detective and that of nobility.
“When I first received this information, I was quite surprised,” Fang Li shrugged and said, “They say the Hols family is still very active in the United Kingdom, living up to the na of the famous detective. For generations, they have demonstrated extraordinary performance and have always identified themselves as detectives. I never expected you, as the fourth generation of Hols, to beco a Butei.”
“...I couldn’t inherit my great-grandfather’s extraordinary deduction ability, so I am only considered a flawed mber of the family,” Aria said, her gaze becoming resolute.
“So, I chose to beco a Butei, to approach my great-grandfather in a different way.”
Hearing this, Fang Li fell silent.
She couldn’t inherit the extraordinary deduction ability?
So, that’s why this petite girl had such remarkable action capabilities but lacked a bit in her judgnt of situations?
