Chapter 213 Fighting Mentality
Quinn's supper didn't taste very happy.
Tony Stark never wanted to attend such a dinner, so he did not visit Quinn's house.
Ethan also noticed that Oliver's mother and her current husband seemed to have conflicts, and even if they covered it up well, the atmosphere would still become awkward from time to time.
The only normal one is Shia, who is trained every day. She eats very happily. Even though she is still elegant in her meal, she cannot hide her amazing appetite.
"Can you hand me the salt?"
Ethan looked at the salt shaker in front of him, resisted the urge to use the mage's hand, picked it up and put it next to Xiya.
"Thanks."
At this time, Moira noticed her daughter's exaggerated appetite, which was already the second steak.
"Sia?"
My daughter's sudden appetite increased rapidly, and it was not normal to think about it. Moira was not in a good mood at first, but she only had good personal cultivation required her not to be rude in front of customers.
"What's wrong? Mom?"
"I noticed that your appetite has suddenly increased a lot recently."
The amount of training is very large every day, and the mental consumption is even more exaggerated. At this time, eating a lot is the only way to supplement the lack of physical strength and nutrition.
If it weren't for the fact that Shia's figure had not changed significantly, Moira would probably have asked more bluntly.
Even now, she misunderstood.
Overall, she was quite satisfied with Ethan.
He has a good appearance and looks good from a family, but he is a little young. Boys of this age probably don’t understand what responsibility is.
However, she did not object to the contact between the two young people. She considered whether to remind her daughter to take protective measures slightly?
"Well, mom, Thea has been studying self-defense courses recently, so her appetite has increased."
"oh?"
Oliver's explanation surprised Moira.
"I know you've been running to Ethan's house lately, are there extra defense lessons there?"
"Sia is learning related knowledge from Ada."
Moira looked at Ada again. This time it was not only Moira, but even Walter was surprised.
Both of them knew that Ada was the latest shareholder of Quinn Group. Although she was an agent, she had the right to represent Ethan and Tony Stark so no one felt that Ada was not worthy of attention.
Such a business elite teaches Thea’s self-defense course at home? It sounds a bit unreliable.
Ethan was about to say something, but Oliver immediately inserted it.
"Actually, it's just to make the Aya move more. You know that Aya was a little thin before."
It can be seen that Oliver tried his best to make Ethan not speak. Seeing this, Ethan ate quietly. Moira didn't ask him, and he just took care of the meal.
The days that followed were still calm. The enemies facing Green Arrow were all ordinary people. The enemy who had the same archery skills and fighting ability as Green Arrow, and was also very good at hiding himself and stealth. Even the opponent who gave Oliver the most headache.
Of course Ethan is not interested in such a person. It is better to stay at home and wait quietly for the birth of the Flash.
In addition, Oliver's stepfather Walter left the Quinn's house. It seems that Oliver's stepfather's marriage to his mother has finally come to an end.
Oliver didn't know these things yet, and he still felt headaches for the continuous crimes in Star City.
Xiya still comes to learn magic and fighting every day. After a long period of study and training, Xiya is no longer inferior to the one in the original plot, and can even be said to be stronger.
In the original plot, Thea was just undergoing training for several months by her biological father Malcolm Merlin, which is currently making Oliver feel extremely troubled. Her strength is just that.
In addition to practical experience and lack of proper mentality, Xiya's strength has surpassed her original self, even though she has only mastered a few auxiliary spells.
In addition to magical impact, these spells include swamp techniques used to interfere with the opponent, spells that increase their own reaction speed and strength, feather drop techniques that can save lives when falling from high places, Hawkeye techniques that can improve vision in a short time, a simple healing spell, and the most important flash that can be illuminated or used as flash bombs.
This ensures that Thea can handle most situations alone and can also play a supporting role in the team when necessary.
In addition, the biggest advantage of learning these magic with Ethan is that its dependence on spell casting materials has become very low, because Ethan splits the composition of magic very carefully, and has got rid of the limitations of spell casting materials from the beginning and relies entirely on magic to complete various spell effects.
This also avoids the dilemma of Xiya taking a lot of messy things around: after all, Xiya does not have any storage equipment, but the spell casting materials are generally numerous and complicated.
However, even so, if you want to apply these spells well, you still need to practice hard by Shia himself. Before you can truly solve all problems with magic, you still need to practice hard to fight and use cold weapons.
The most important thing to train to this point is no longer technical training: it is not that these trainings are not important, but the next step is that Xiya will practice diligently day after day, year after year, and then practice many movements to make energy. There is no quick way to achieve this, so I can only practice hard.
What restricts Xiya's combat effectiveness at this time is actually mentality.
"You still don't have the mentality that a warrior should have now."
"What's the meaning?"
"When facing the enemy, you will unconsciously keep your energy to avoid causing fatal damage."
This is the normal mentality of ordinary people who have developed a correct view of the three views in a peaceful environment, because the education and the general environment are constantly reminding this person: it is wrong to hurt others, and killing is even more wrong.
"In your subconscious mind, you will avoid using fatal attacks. This mentality will not only not make you win praise in real battles, but will harm you."
Ethan's teaching did not avoid Oliver, and Oliver did not know how to evaluate the course Ethan taught today.
Reason and his own experience reminded him that Ethan was right.
But he didn't want Xiya to become a cold-blooded and ruthless killer in his heart, so he was extremely confused now. Should he stop this teaching?
In his opinion, Xiya already has the ability to protect herself. With her current strength, even if she does not want to kill her easily, unless she chooses to attack while Xiya is completely unattended, and has to make a fatal blow. Otherwise, those strange magic alone will be enough to make him feel extremely headache.
But Xiya herself seemed not satisfied. She was still practicing hard every day, and she seemed like she was addicted.
Oliver's feeling is right. Being stronger is indeed addictive. Young people like Xiya are even less immune to this. She is now looking forward to what level she will reach in the future.
So she was not resistant to any knowledge taught by Ethan, and she was willing to learn even this idea that she could not accept in the past.
Besides, Ethan's words are very convincing: "Of course, I teach you these things not to make you a cold-blooded killing machine, so you have to know how to completely master your own power."
“So…what should I do?”
"Come on the same page, start by learning the correct mentality of the enemy. Starting today, you will have to fight with my energy clone."
Ethan did not do anything, but another Ethan suddenly walked out of his body and stood quietly in front of Xiya.
"This clone is made of pure energy, so it doesn't matter if you kill him. In addition, this clone will only use a slightly stronger power than you currently have, and you don't have to worry about not being able to beat it, but if you still cannot understand the correct fighting mentality, then you will be in trouble."
Ethan took a few steps back slightly.
"He will use various means to anger you. You need to learn how to prevent emotions from affecting your combat effectiveness."
"ah?"
While Thea was stunned, Ethan suddenly threw something over and instinctively reached out to catch it. Then she found that what she was catching seemed to be a sword hilt?
"This is your weapon, and you need to think about it yourself."
Before Thea could protest, Ethan had retreated outside the court.
"The battle has begun, come on!"
Almost as Ethan spoke, blue and white lightning appeared between Ethan's clone's hands. These lightning slowly condensed and eventually turned into a blue and white energy beam, holding it in his hands like a sword with both hands, waving towards Xiya in front of him.
"Wait, I don't know how to use this."
The weapon in his hand only has one grip. Xiya took the time to read it. There were no switches on it. While guessing whether it was necessary to use mental power, the attack on the opposite side had already arrived.
The long-term training still showed the effect, and the body instinctively performed dodging movements, and habitually wanted to reach out to seize the opponent's weapons.
Then she suffered.
The condensed blue and white energy column looked like a glowing stick, which seemed to be no threat, but when Shia just rubbed to the edge of the point, she felt that she had touched the leakage switch, and her whole body was numb by the current released from it.
“…”
Ethan covered his face. Such a problem is likely to occur when practicing in a greenhouse: Do you dare to get started without even figuring out what the weapon is on the opposite side? Do you think it is a wooden stick you usually use when practicing?
