The Quinn’s dinner is not very pleasant.
Tony Stark never wanted to participate in such a ‘meal’, so he did not come to Quinn’s as a guest.
Ethan also noticed that Oliver's mother and her current husband seemed to have some contradictions. Even if they concealed it well, the atmosphere would still become awkward from time to time.
The only normal person is Thea who is trained every day. She eats very happily. Even if her eating posture is still elegant, there is no way to hide that amazing appetite.
"Can you pass me the salt?"
Ethan looked at the salt shaker placed in front of him, resisted the urge to use the hand of the mage, picked it up and put it next to Thea.
"Thank you."
At this time, Moira noticed her daughter's exaggerated appetite. This was already the second steak.
"Thea?"
The daughter's appetite suddenly increased. It is not a normal thing to think about it. Moira was not in a good mood at first, but her good personal training required her not to be rude in front of the guests.
"What's wrong? Mom?"
"I noticed that your appetite has suddenly increased a lot recently."
The amount of training every day is very large, and the mental consumption is even 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 Thea's figure that there was no obvious change, it is estimated that Moira would ask more straightforwardly.
She had misunderstood even now.
In general, she is quite satisfied with Ethan.
He looks good and looks good from a family. It’s just a little bit young. Boys at this age probably don’t know what responsibility is.
But she doesn't object to the contact between the two young people. She is considering whether to remind her daughter to take protective measures?
"Ah, Mom, Thea is taking a self-defense course recently, so her appetite will increase."
"Oh?"
Oliver's explanation surprised Moira.
"I know you guys always go to Ethan's house recently. Are there additional defense courses taught there?"
"Thea is learning related knowledge with Ada."
Moira looked at Ada again, this time not only Moira but also Walter was surprised.
Both of them know that Ida is the newest shareholder of the Quinn Group. Although she is an agent, she has the power to represent Ethan and Tony Stark, so no one thinks Ida is not worthy of attention.
Such a business elite teaches Thea self-defense course at home? It sounds a bit unreliable.
Ethan was about to say something, and Oliver snapped in immediately.
"In fact, it's for Thea to be more active. You know that Thea was a little thin before."
It could be seen that Oliver tried his best to keep Ethan from speaking, and Ethan ate quietly when he saw it. Moira did not speak without asking him, and just handled the meal.
The following days are still calm, the enemies that Arrow faces are ordinary people. The enemy who has the same good archery and fighting ability as the Arrow, and is also very good at hiding himself and sneaking, even the most The opponent that made Oliver a headache.
Of course, Ethan is not interested in this kind of stuff, and it is better to stay at home and wait for the birth of the Flash.
In addition, Oliver's stepfather, Walter, has left Quinn's house. It seems that Oliver's stepfather and his mother's marriage has finally come to an end.
Oliver doesn't know these things yet, and he still feels a headache for the various crimes that continue to appear in Star City.
Thea still learns magic and fighting every day. After a long time of study and training, Thea is no longer inferior to the one in the original plot, and can even be said to be stronger.
In the original plot, Thea had just accepted her own father, Malcolm Merlin, who had been training Oliver for a few months with Black Arrow, and her strength was just like that.
In addition to the actual combat experience and lack of proper mentality, Thea’s strength has surpassed her original self, even if she only mastered a few auxiliary spells.
In addition to the magic impact, these spells include marsh spells that interfere with opponents, increase their own reaction speed and power buff spells, feather fall spells that can guarantee life when falling from a height, eagle eye spells that can improve vision in a short time, and a simple Healing spells, and the most important flash (which can be used as a light or flash bomb).
This ensures that Thea can deal with most situations alone, and can also play a supporting role in the team when necessary.
In addition, the biggest advantage of learning these magics with Ethan is that the dependence on the spelling materials becomes very low, because Ethan splits the composition of the magic very carefully, getting rid of the restrictions of the spelling materials from the beginning. Complete all kinds of magic effects by relying entirely on magic.
This also avoids the dilemma that Thea has to bring a lot of messy things around: After all, Thea doesn't have any storage equipment, but the spellcasting materials are generally too many and miscellaneous.
But even so, if you want to apply these spells well, you still need Thea's own hard work. Before she can really solve all problems with magic, she needs to practice hard for fighting and the use of cold weapons.
Training to this point, the most important thing is not technical training: it is not that these trainings are not important, but that the next step is to practice diligently day after day, year after year, and then spend a lot of exercises. Yes, there is no quick way to do it, you can only practice hard.
At this time, the limitation of Thea's combat effectiveness is actually the mentality.
"You still don't have the mentality that a'warrior' should have."
"What do you mean?"
"When facing an enemy, you will unconsciously retain your strength and avoid causing fatal injuries."
This is the normal mentality of ordinary people who cultivate the correct three views in a peaceful environment, because the education they receive and the general environment are constantly reminding this person: It is not right to hurt others, and it is even more wrong to kill.
"In the subconscious, you will avoid deadly attacks. This mentality will not win you praise in real battles, but will harm you."
Ethan's teaching this time also did not avoid Oliver, and Oliver did not know how to evaluate the course Ethan taught today.
Reason and his own experience remind him that Ethan is not wrong.
But in his heart, he didn't want Thea to become a ‘cold-blooded killer’, so he is now very entangled, should he stop this teaching?
In his opinion, Thea already has the ability to protect herself. With her current strength, even oneself should not kill her easily, unless she chooses to attack her without paying attention, and It had to be a fatal blow, otherwise the weird magic alone would be enough to make him feel an immense headache.
But Thea herself didn't seem to be satisfied. She was still practicing hard every day, and she seemed to be addicted.
Oliver's feeling is right, becoming stronger is indeed addictive, and young people like Thea have no immunity to this. She is looking forward to the extent of her future.
Therefore, she is not resistant to any knowledge taught by Ethan, and she is willing to learn even this kind of concept that she could not accept in the past.
What's more, Ethan's words are very convincing: "Of course, I teach you that these are not to make you a cold-blooded killing machine, so you need to know how to completely control your own power."
"So... what should I do?"
"Let’s do the same, start with learning the right attitude towards the enemy. Starting today, you will 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 Thea.
"This clone is purely composed of energy, so it doesn't matter if you kill him. In addition, this clone will only use slightly stronger power than you currently, so you don't have to worry about defeating it, but if you still can't understand the right battle If you have a mentality, then you will be out of luck."
Ethan stepped back slightly.
"He will use all kinds of methods to irritate you, you need to learn how to not let emotions affect your combat effectiveness."
"what?"
When Thea was in a daze, Ethan suddenly threw something over and instinctively reached out to catch it, and then she found that what she was catching seemed to be a sword hilt?
"This is your weapon. As for how to use it, you need to figure it out."
Before Thea protested, Ethan had retreated to the sidelines.
"The battle has begun, come on!"
Almost at the same time that Ethan spoke, blue and white electric lights appeared between Ethan's clone's hands. These lightnings slowly condensed, and finally turned into a blue and white energy beam, held in the hand like a two-handed sword, and swung it. Slashed towards Thea in front of her.
"Wait, I don't know how to use this yet."
The weapon in her hand has only one grip. UU Reading www.uukanshhu.com Thea took the time to read it again. There was no switch on it. When she was guessing whether it was going to be used with mental power, the opposite attack had already come before her eyes.
The long-term training still exerted its due effect, the body instinctively carried out evasive movements, and also habitually wanted to reach out to grab the opponent's weapon.
Then she suffered.
The solid blue-white energy column looked like a luminous stick, and seemed to be no threat, but Thea just wiped it to the side and felt that she had touched the leaking switch, and she was numb by the electric current released from it. .
"..."
Ethan covered his face, this kind of pairing in a greenhouse is prone to this kind of problem: you dare to get started without even knowing what the opposite weapon is? Do you think it's the wooden stick you usually use in practice?
Reaching out to stop Oliver who wanted to rush forward, Ethan calmed him: "Relax, it will only make people feel numb and painful, and will not be fatal or cause irreversible damage."
