It wasn't until then that Joseph realized that the indoor combat training he had done with the three girls could only be considered academic.
The strength that the three girls displayed in a mobile battle was completely different from indoor training.
He estimated for a few minutes and silently postponed his victory over them to ten years later.
It couldn't be helped; it was no longer just a matter of technique.
Ten years later, the girls would be at their peak when they were between 25 and 30.
Joseph, on the other hand, would be eighteen, and his body would basically mature.
Only then would the gap in physical fitness between the two sides be reduced, and he wouldn't be crushed.
Defeat his big brother? Joseph felt that it was best not to harbor such unrealistic thoughts.
Luke's strength, reflexes, and skills were completely cheating. He was the kind that could deal 999 damage with a single punch, and Joseph could only miss when he hit him.
There was no point in comparing the two at all.
However, Joseph found a lot of interesting things.
Mindy was the youngest of the three girls, but she was the "big sister" by default, and her relationship with Luke was closer and more natural.
She wasn't like Nikki and Monica, whose thoughts were written all over her face and the other's heart.
But after listening to the teachings of his iron-willed big brother, Joseph knew that those two had no chance.
Luke knew what they were thinking, but he had no intention of cooperating at all, and kept their relationship at the level of ordinary friends.
Thus, Joseph discovered a new world: it turned out that he could get along with girls like this? He no longer had to worry about the girls who stuck to him every few days.
Mindy also made him more interested.
Maybe it was because she was too young, or maybe it was because of her personality, but she was the only one of the three girls who didn't have those kinds of thoughts.
Her attitude toward Luke was similar to Claire's attitude toward Luke. They were familiar and intimate, like friends on an equal footing.
As he paid more attention to Mindy, he made more discoveries.
He could sense that Mindy's eyes would occasionally reveal a "casual" look during training, just like the little girls who came to ask him math questions.
After pondering for a few days, he finally found an opportunity to go to Mindy's training room in advance.
"Can you show me your true strength?" he said solemnly to Mindy, who was warming up on the floor and stretching her ligaments.
Mindy blinked and spread her legs apart. She leaned forward and straightened her arms with a smile. "Huh, little brother, you're very serious today."
Then, she straightened up and shook her head decisively. "But I refuse."
Joseph was not discouraged.
Ke had taught him this kind of rejection tactic long ago. Of course, it was forbidden when talking to girls.
He seemed to be deep in thought. "You hid your strength from Nikki and Monica, and from me. Could it be that you're pretending to be weak?"
"You're Paige." Stunned for a moment, Mindy jumped up and pressed him to the ground. "Young man, you're very smart. Does your brother know you're so smart?"
The corner of Joseph's mouth curled up. "Of course I do. Also, he and I are a little smarter than you think."
Then why aren't you lying down obediently right now? Mindy curled her lips, feeling that this cunning little brother was getting harder and harder to fool.
Her eyes darted around, but she still let go of him and moved her body away from his back. "How much is one point?"
Joseph turned over and rubbed his slightly sore arm. With one hand, he gestured a millimeter with his thumb and index finger. "Just … a little bit."
As his voice lengthened, the distance between his thumb and index finger widened rapidly. Finally, he simply spread his arms. "Well, that's about it."
Mindy: � (; ̄ ◇ ̄)
Pa! Joseph was slapped on the back of the head.
She snorted. "Young man, you know nothing about strength."
Still smiling, Joseph rubbed the back of his head with one hand and raised his other hand. "Show me?"
Mindy stood up and took a few steps back to the sandbag. "Watch carefully."
Sinking her energy into her dantian, she turned around and kicked the sandbag.
The sandbag let out a crisp crack and then swung high into the air.
Joseph: (; ° ~ °)
That sandbag was much heavier than him.
In other words, he was also going to fly up when she kicked him.
Mindy, on the other hand, didn't seem to be using much effort.
She walked over with a smile and stood in front of him. She stared at him with her hands on her hips. "Do you want to know the truth behind the world? Do you want to really … live? "
At that moment, her voice became a little low and hoarse, like a little witch who was about to tell a secret.
Joseph's mouth opened wide, and his scalp went numb. His throat was dry, and he couldn't say anything for a moment.
He could only nod hard.
Mindy's smile suddenly turned nasty. "You want to? I want to too. Hahahaha ~ "
She laughed so hard that she bent forward and backward. In the end, she simply lay on the floor, slapping the floor and laughing hysterically.
Joseph: (;? _?)
There was no doubt that he had been tricked.
Sure enough, Mindy laughed to her heart's content before she said, panting, "Because I don't know the answer either. If you want to know, ask Luke. That's what he said to me back then. "
Joseph, however, didn't laugh. His eyes flickered.
Mindy wasn't stupid, but she was a little heartless, so she didn't think much of it.
He, on the other hand, was analyzing why he had lost his composure just now.
For anyone who was skeptical, the truth of the world was very lethal.
True living, on the other hand, contained the three questions of human philosophy: Who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go?
Fools wouldn't think about these three questions. Wise people thought about these three questions to figure out what people lived for.
Thus, the person who was tricked wasn't stupid, but just overthinking.
If it were some ordinary young man who had been tricked by Happy Education, his first reaction would have been to take a big gulp of Coca-Cola and ask curiously, "Which game is that line from? That's so cool. "
Why had he been tricked? Joseph understood.
He was clearly suspicious of this world, and Mindy had just displayed incredible strength in front of him.
A petite and cute girl in her teens had kicked a sandbag that weighed dozens of kilograms away. It was amazing no matter how he looked at it.
Had Mindy been tricked back then? She was clearly the same as him, or she wouldn't have imitated her tone and expression so perfectly.
Then why had she become suspicious of this world? Joseph's face was filled with confusion.
He turned his head and looked at the big girl who had gotten up to look for water. Hm, maybe it was because she was … naive? So, she believed in superpowers?
Mindy gave Joseph one of the two bottles of water. "Don't drink too much, or you'll feel terrible during training later."
Looking at the boy who accepted the water blankly, she rubbed his head in satisfaction. Your bro keeps rubbing my head, so I'll rub your dog's head. Haha.
Joseph opened the bottle and took a sip before he asked, "How can I do what you did just now?"
He gestured at the sandbag.
