Chapter 719 Fighting Mentality

Supper at the Quinn's was not very pleasant to eat.

Tony Stark was never willing to participate in this kind of 'dinner', so he didn't come to Quinn's house as a guest.

Ethan also noticed that Oliver's mother and her current husband seemed to have conflicts, even though they concealed it well, the atmosphere still became awkward from time to time.

The only normal one was Thea, who was trained every day. She ate very happily. Even though her eating posture was still elegant, she couldn't hide her astonishing appetite.

"Can you pass 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 placed it next to Thea.

"Thanks."

At this time, Moira noticed her daughter's exaggerated appetite. This was already the second steak.

"Thea?"

The sudden increase in her daughter's appetite is not a normal thing no matter how you think about it. Moira is not in a good mood, but good personal cultivation requires her not to be rude in front of guests.

"What's wrong? Mom?"

"I noticed that your appetite has suddenly increased a lot recently."

The amount of daily training is huge, and the mental consumption is even more exaggerated. At this time, eating a lot is the only way to replenish the missing physical strength and nutrition.

If it wasn't for the fact that Thea's figure hadn't changed significantly, it is estimated that Moira would have asked more bluntly.

Even now she was mistaken.

In general, she is quite satisfied with Ethan.

He looks good, and looks like he has a good family background, but he is a little young. Boys of this age probably don't know what responsibility is.

However, she did not object to the contact between the two young people. She considered whether she should remind her daughter to take protective measures?

"Cough, Mom, Thea is taking self-defense courses recently, so her appetite will increase."

"oh?"

Oliver's explanation surprised Moira.

"I know you've been running to Ethan's house recently, is there an extra defense course there?"

"Thea is learning related knowledge from Ada."

Moira looked at Ida again, and this time not only Moira, but Walter was also surprised.

Both of them know that Ada is the latest shareholder of the Quinn Group. Although she is an agent, she has the power to represent Ethan and Tony Stark with full authority, so no one thinks that Ada is not worthy of attention.

Such a business elite taught Thea self-defense lessons at home? It sounds a little unreliable.

Ethan was about to speak, but Oliver interrupted immediately.

"Actually, it is to make Thea more active. You know that Thea was a little thin before."

It can be seen that Oliver tried his best to keep Ethan from talking, and Ethan ate quietly when he saw this. He didn't open his mouth without Moira asking him, and dealt with the meal casually.

The following days were still uneventful, the enemies Green Arrow faced were ordinary people, the enemy who had the same good archery skills and fighting ability as Green Arrow, and was also very good at hiding himself and stealth, even the most An opponent that gave Oliver a headache.

Of course Ethan is not interested in such a thing, he might as well stay at home and wait quietly for the birth of The Flash.

In addition, Oliver's stepfather Walter left the Quinn family, it seems that Oliver's stepfather and his mother's marriage has finally come to an end.

Oliver didn't know these things yet, and he was still troubled by the various crimes that appeared one after another in Star City.

Thea still comes to learn magic and fighting every day. After a long period of study and training, the current Thea is no worse than the one in the original plot, and can even be said to be stronger.

In the original plot, Thea just received a few months of training from her biological father, Malcolm Merlin, the Black Arrow who is currently causing Oliver a lot of headaches, and that's what her strength is all about.

In addition to actual combat experience and lack of proper mentality, Thea's strength has surpassed her original self, even though she only mastered a few auxiliary spells.

In addition to the magic impact, these spells include swamp spells that interfere with opponents, buff spells that increase one's own reaction speed and strength, feather fall spells that guarantee life-saving when falling from high places, eagle eye spells that improve eyesight for a short time, and a simple Healing spells, and the most important flash (can be used as lighting or as a flash bomb).

This ensures that Thea can handle most situations on her own, and can also play a supporting role in the team when necessary.

In addition, the biggest advantage of learning these spells with Ethan is that the reliance on spell-casting materials becomes very low, because Ethan breaks down the composition of magic very carefully, and gets rid of the limitation of spell-casting materials from the very beginning. Rely entirely on magic to complete various spell effects.

This also avoided the embarrassment that Thea had to carry a lot of messy things around: after all, Thea didn't have any storage equipment, but the spell-casting materials were generally plentiful and miscellaneous.

But even so, to apply these spells well, Thea still needs to practice hard on her own. Before she can really solve all problems with magic, she still needs to practice hard on fighting and using cold weapons.

At this point in training, the most important thing is not the technical training: it's not that these trainings are not important, but that thea will need to practice hard day after day, year after year, and then practice many movements at a cost of Yes, there is no quick fix for this, it can only be practiced hard.

At this time, what limited Thea's combat power was actually her mentality.

"You still don't have the mentality that a 'warrior' should have."

"What's the meaning?"

"When facing the enemy, you will unconsciously keep your strength to avoid fatal damage."

This is the normal state of mind of ordinary people who have developed the correct three views in a peaceful environment, because the education they receive and the general environment are constantly reminding this person: it is wrong to hurt others, and killing people is even more serious.

"Subconsciously you will avoid making deadly attacks. In real battles, this mentality will not only not win you praise, but will actually hurt you."

Ethan's teaching this time also did not avoid Oliver. Oliver didn't know how to evaluate the course Ethan taught today.

Reason and his own experience are reminding him that what Ethan said is not wrong.

But he didn't want Thea to become a 'cold-blooded and ruthless killer' in his heart, so he was extremely entangled now, should he stop this teaching?

In his view, Thea already has the ability to protect herself. With her current strength, even he himself can't kill her easily, unless he chooses to sneak attack when Thea is completely inattentive, and It has to be fatal in one blow, otherwise, those strange magics alone are enough to give him an incomparable 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 correct, becoming stronger is indeed addictive, and young people like Thea are not immune to it. She is now looking forward to what level she will reach in the future.

So she is not resistant to any knowledge taught by Ethan, even if this kind of idea is completely unacceptable to her in the past, she is willing to learn it.

What's more, Ethan's words are very convincing: "Of course, I didn't teach you these things to make you a cold-blooded killing machine, so you have to know how to fully and thoroughly control your own power."

"So... what should I do?"

"Let's do it one by one, start by learning the correct attitude towards the enemy. Starting today, you will have an actual battle with my energy clone."

Ethan didn't do anything, but another Ethan suddenly walked out of his body, standing quietly in front of Thea.

"This avatar is purely made of energy, so it doesn't matter if you kill him. In addition, this avatar will only use a slightly stronger power than your current one, so you don't have to worry about being defeated, but if you still can't comprehend the correct combat If you have a mentality, then you will be out of luck.”

Ethan took a few steps back.

"He will use various means to irritate you, you need to learn how not to let your emotions affect your combat effectiveness."

"ah?"

While Thea was in a daze, Ethan suddenly threw something over and instinctively reached out to catch it, and then she found that what she caught seemed to be a sword hilt?

"This is your weapon. As for how to use it, you need to figure it out yourself."

Before Thea could protest, Ethan had already retreated to the sidelines.

"The battle has begun, come on!"

Almost at the same time as Ethan opened his mouth, streaks of blue-white lightning appeared between the hands of Ethan's avatar. These lightnings slowly condensed and finally turned into a blue-white beam of energy, which he held in his hand like a two-handed sword and waved He slashed at Thea in front of him.

"Wait, I don't know how to use this yet."

The weapon in her hand has only one handle. Thea took the time to look it over. There was no switch on it. When she was guessing whether she should use her mental power, the attack from the opposite side was already in front of her eyes.

The long-term training still played its due effect, the body instinctively performed dodge movements, and habitually wanted to reach out to snatch the opponent's weapon.

Then she suffered.

The solid blue-white energy column looks like a glowing stick, and it doesn't seem to be threatening, but Xia just rubs it to the edge, and feels that she has touched a leaky switch, and she is numb from the electric current released from it. .

"..."

Ethan covered his face, this kind of duel in the greenhouse is prone to this kind of problem: you dare to use it without even knowing what the opponent's weapon is? Do you think that is the wooden stick you usually use in practice?

Reaching out his hand to stop Oliver who was about to rush up, Ethan comforted him: "Don't worry, it will only make people feel numb and painful, and it will not be fatal or cause irreversible damage."
