Chapter 607: A Good Night Sleep
Chapter 607: A Good Night Sleep
"One hour and twenty-five minutes!" The fight lasted for one hour and twenty-five minutes. However, it didn't look like a fight at all. It looked like Gabi and Rodrigo were playing games. In the end, Rodrigo lost all the will to run. He surrendered.
To him, it was better to lose than to act like a child! In the end, the glory was still his. After all, his opponent was a damn coward. Even the other trainees started thinking that Gabi was indeed a coward who only got the first spot because of tricks.
However, that fight lingered in everyone's head that night. Many wondered what would Gabi do in the next fight. Would she run around again? Wouldn't that be too much? Some of them also started expecting that the teachers are going to change the rules because of what Gabi did.
Sadly, they won't be able to see the fight, as they would already start another round of training by then.
"You How could you embarrass Rodrigo like that? That man was a war veteran!" Mara was first to say what was on her mind. In fact, the fight earlier made everyone upset. That Rodrigo was already twenty-seven years old, and he already served two years in the military before quitting. A family decided to fund him and that was the reason why he was here. "How could you insult him like that?"
"What are you talking about?" Gabi said after she drank her water.
"You actually looked like you were playing tag with an injured person! How could you be so shameless!"
Gabi just shrugged in response. Was that really shameless? Of course, it was! However, she couldn't remove Ma Ping's words from her head.
They are here to survive.
These people came here to fight and show their dominance. However, they were wrong about one thing. You cannot always use fighting to show your dominance. Sometimes, you have to use your brains too!
The rules this time didn't say that she couldn't play tag with her enemy. She just needed to defeat them. Moreover, she only used her advantage to defeat the enemy. Was that really too despicable?
Umm maybe?
However, she wasn't planning on stopping. She was aware that her martial arts might not be the best, but she still had other weapons, the ultimate weapon. Her brain!
These people wouldn't understand it.
"You Are you going to do that too once you fight us?" Mara asked. It felt like Gabi was looking for fun. Gabi wasn't actually taking them seriously! Did she really think that everyone here is as weak as her? Mara met Delia's eyes and the two silently thought about the things that they were going to do to Gabi to show her that they were not someone that she could underestimate!
Just like the trainees, Ma Ping and the other teachers were also speechless when they saw the fight.
"I think we should change the rules," Kincaid, the man that Gabi met a few days ago, said. "This time we should emphasize it. Right? Fighting with fist and legs. Not just racing." For some reason, Kincaid felt second-hand embarrassment because of what Gabi did.
It only showed that the rules have holes! This is going to be a problem in the future!
Alison, another teacher, chimed in. "She's using her brains. Do you think you can just fight with your body? The madam would surely like this style."
"I agree!" Donna nodded. "I think it was commendable. She didn't want to exhaust her strength fighting an injured giant. Look at her, she's so thin. If she really fought... Hold on!"
"Right. She chose to fight with big injured guys on her first six challenges because she was planning to just run around until their injuries would bleed again." Kincaid said, as he facepalmed. This is so embarrassing!
Not one of them realized what she was planning! When she chose all injured trainees, they already thought she was shameless. But using this method to win against them is just
"Let's be honest here" Ma Ping smiled at everyone. The people working for Ma Ping were not personally trained by Madam Lyca. Unlike Ma Ping, who experienced Lyca's shameless behavior, these people were like second and third generations. They only heard stories about what happened, but didn't actually see it. "Leo is different from all of you." How could Ma Ping hate someone that reminded him too much of the madam?
At least Gabi wasn't as lazy as the madam? But hey! Shamelessness is a talent too!
"So we are not going to change the rules?"
"We cannot change the rules now. Next year, however" Ma Ping chuckled. He already had a shameless plan in his head. "This is good, too. This is the first time that we encountered someone like her. We should use this opportunity to see if we could improve the rules next year!"
"I agree. We should just let her do her thing. The thing about men is they easily underestimate us women. Right now, everyone must be underestimating Leo too. After all, she looked thin and weak. And now, she is also showing that she is afraid of fighting. I guess this is her strategy."
"I honestly think so too! I think she is using this opportunity to make everyone underestimate her and once everyone already thinks that she was weak, she is going to strike!"
However, when Gabi received this question from Mara, her answer was actually pretty simple. This wasn't just about the scheme. It was simply because she is scared of pain. If she could avoid being hit, then why not?
Those men had really big fists
One hit and she might lose her consciousness. One kick and her insides would get damaged!
When facing an enemy like this, the best way is not to fight head-on!
So, she decided to take advantage of their injuries instead!
"Anyway" Gabi waved her hand. "I'm off." Tonight, she is going to have another goodnight's sleep in her private bedroom.
