Only then did Joseph realize that the indoor fighting training he had done with the three girls before could only be regarded as academic.
The strength shown by the three girls in the sports battle is completely different from indoor training.
He roughly estimated a few minutes, and silently postponed his victory over them to ten years later.
No way, this is no longer a purely technical problem.
Ten years later, girls are in their prime in their twenties and thirties.
Joseph was eighteen years old, and his physical growth period was basically completed.
The gap in physical fitness between the two sides will be narrowed, and he will not be crushed.
Beat his big brother? Joseph felt that he should not have such unrealistic thoughts.
Luke's strength, reaction, and skill are all at the level of cheating, the kind of physics that can be used up to 999 with one punch, and Joseph can only miss him when he hits him.
There is absolutely no comparison between the two.
However, Joseph found a lot of interesting places.
Among the three girls, Mindy is the youngest, but she is the default "big sister". Her relationship with Luke is also closer and more natural.
Unlike Nikki and Monica, one has a thought on his face, while the other still has a small flame in his heart.
But just listening to the teaching of his big brother who is a straight man of steel, Joseph knew that these two were useless.
Luke knew a little about their teenage concerns, but he had no intention of cooperating at all, and kept their relationship at the level of ordinary friends.
As a result, Joseph discovered a new world: So, can he still get along with girls like this? I no longer have to worry about the female classmates who post up every now and then.
Mindy also made him more interested.
Maybe it's too young, maybe it's a personality problem, she is the only one among the three girls who doesn't have that kind of careful thinking.
Her attitude towards Luke is similar to that of Claire towards Luke, familiar and intimate, similar to the equality among friends.
As his focus on Minty increased, so did the new discoveries.
He could notice that during training, Minty occasionally showed a kind of "casualness" in his eyes, just like he did to those little girls who came to ask math problems.
After pondering for several days, he finally found an opportunity and arrived at the training room of Mindy's house ahead of schedule.
"Can you show me your real strength?" He said solemnly to Minty who was sitting on the floor, stretching her ligaments to warm up.
Minty blinked, split her legs into a split, leaned forward and straightened her arms vigorously, with a smile on her face: "Hey, little brother is very serious today."
Then, she straightened up and shook her head decisively: "But, I refuse."
Joseph was not discouraged.
This rejection routine was taught long ago—the forbidden kind, of course, in talking to girls.
He was thoughtful: "You hide your strength from Nikki and Monica, and hide your strength from me. Are you trying to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"
"You are Peggy." Minty was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up and pushed him to the ground: "Young man, you are very thoughtful, does your brother know that you are so smart?"
The corner of Joseph's mouth curled up: "Of course I know, and he and I are a little smarter than you think."
Then why don't you get down obediently now! Minty pouted, feeling that this cunning little brother was becoming harder and harder to fool.
Her eyeballs rolled wildly, but she still let go of her hand and moved her suppressed body from his back: "How much is one point?"
Joseph turned over, rubbed his sore arm, and compared the length of one millimeter with his thumb and forefinger with one hand: "That's just... a little."
As his voice lengthened, the distance between his thumb and index finger rapidly expanded, and finally he completely spread his arms: "Well, that's about it."
Mindy: ┌(;￣◇￣)┘~
Snapped! Joseph received a slap on the back of the head.
She snorted twice: "Young man, you don't know anything about power."
Joseph still kept smiling, rubbing the back of his head with one hand, and raising the other to signal: "Sho me?"
Minty stood up, took a few steps back, and reached the sandbag next to him: "Look clearly."
She sank into her dantian, turned around backwards, kicked up and kicked the sandbag.
The sandbag made a crisp "pop", and then swung high.
Joseph: (;°ro°)
That sandbag is much heavier than him.
In other words, if this kick hit him, he would also take off.
And Minty didn't look too strenuous.
She walked over with a smile, stood in front of him, bent down and stared at him with her hips crossed: "You, do you want to know the truth behind the world? Do you want to really... live?"
At this moment, her voice became a little low and hoarse, like a little witch who was about to tell a secret.
Joseph opened his mouth wide, his scalp felt numb for no reason, his throat was dry, and he couldn't say yes or no all at once.
He could only nod vigorously.
Minty's smile suddenly became vicious: "You want to? I think so too. Hahahaha~"
She leaned forward and backward with laughter, and finally just lay on the ground, patting the floor and laughing wildly.
Joseph: (;?_?)
There is no doubt that he was tricked.
Sure enough, Minty laughed enough on the ground before panting and said, "Because I don't know the answer either. If you want to know, just ask Luke. That's what he told me back then."
Joseph didn't smile, his eyes flickered.
Minty is not stupid, but a little heartless, so I don't think there is anything wrong.
But he was analyzing the sentence just now, why he made himself so groggy.
For anyone who remains skeptical, the truth of the world can kill.
And the real living contains the three links of human philosophy: who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going
Fools don't think about these three questions. Wise men think about these three questions in order to understand what people live for.
Therefore, people who are tricked by these words are not stupid, they just think too much.
If it were an ordinary young man who was fooled into a sand sculpture by happy education, his first reaction would be to take a big gulp of fat house happy water, and then his face would be full of curiosity: "Which game line is this? It's really cool."
Why would you be fooled? Joseph understood.
Obviously he was suspicious of the world, and Minty just happened to show incredible power in front of his eyes.
A petite and cute little girl in her teens kicked a sandbag weighing dozens of kilograms away with one kick, which is amazing no matter how you look at it.
Had Minty been fooled in the first place? Obviously the same as herself, otherwise she would not have imitated the tone and expression of that sentence so vividly.
Then how did she doubt the world? Joseph was puzzled.
He turned his head and looked at the big loli who got up to find water not far away: Well, maybe it's because it's more... naive? So believe in superpowers
Minty came over with two bottles of water and gave Joseph one: "Don't drink too much, or you'll feel bad after training."
Looking at the little boy who took the water in a daze, she rubbed his head, contented: Your brother rubs my head all the time, so I'll rub your dog's head, haha.
Joseph unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and asked, "How can you do what you did just now?"
He grumbled at the sandbag.
