Mermaid

I've had breakfast.

The four set off for Hartford.

"Let's go up with Heather."

Upon arriving at the destination, Juno suggested, "Let's avoid upsetting him."

"You're still worried about that?"

Adam chuckled.

"Can the past and the present be the same?"

Juno gave her a quick wink.

Adam was speechless.

"I'll go to the stairwell with you. Call me if you need anything."

Adam decided to play it safe.

Juno's fighting ability is considerable, but it is relative.

The reason he was able to take him down with Black Widow's Fatal Scissor Lock was because it was sudden and Adam wasn't taking it seriously. The effectiveness of the kick in a real fight has yet to be tested.

"Alright."

Juno did not refuse.

Aside from her inexplicable moment of "chuunibyou" yesterday, she is usually very prudent and would naturally not refuse such a safety measure.

"Karen, stay in the car and don't turn off the engine."

"..."

Heather was shocked and speechless at the sight. After a while, she said weakly, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated? You guys look like a well-organized tactical squad from a movie."

"Could it be a professional bandit team?"

Juno joked.

Go early and come back early.

Adam reminded him.

Juno and Heather went inside and went up to the second floor.

Adam stood at the top of the stairs, listening intently to the sounds inside. Seeing that no conflict was taking place, he waited Jingjing.

A few minutes later.

Juno and Heather came down carrying two boxes and a suitcase.

Ryan stood on the second floor looking at Adam with a complicated expression, with Heather's best friend Niki standing next to him.

Adam had a sudden realization; he had already guessed why there had been no movement yesterday.

Back in the car.

On the way back to the Cabin in the Woods.

Adam asked, Heather and Juno's answers confirmed his suspicions.

Ryan remained silent because he wasn't a violent thug. He could talk tough in pain, but he didn't have the guts to actually do it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so frightened by the gunshots that they fled at the first sign of trouble, and later, when faced with Adam who were armed, they were so scared that they immediately raised their hands in surrender.

He dared to fight, but he was no match for Adam.

In addition, it's so normal for young men and women in the United States to break up and get back together. Heather made it clear that they were over. After returning home, Niki comforted her, and after venting her frustrations, the last bit of her fighting spirit was completely swallowed up.

In his saintly state, he naturally chose to forgive.

Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. With Niki around, Ryan is clearly not one of those who have nothing to lose.

As for David?

He is an old man who follows his heart.

Therefore, this 'peaceful' breakup occurred.

"Shall we practice this afternoon?"

Adam intends to enhance Heather's combat abilities, because in this Dangerous World, relying on oneself is the safest option when encountering danger.

"OK."

Juno said eagerly, "I also want to see how well you've practiced this past semester."

"Hehe."

Adam laughed and said, "I hope you won't be surprised then."

"I know you're good. At worst, the three of us will take on one of you."

Juno teased.

"I can take on ten."

Adam retorted.

Heather watched this scene with a smile, feeling a sense of warmth and anticipation for her afternoon workout.

As someone who has truly faced danger, how could they possibly refuse to increase their ability to protect themselves?

It was afternoon.

The four of them began exercising on the flat ground outside the hut.

Juno primarily taught Heather, while Adam served as the target.

After practicing for two hours.

Juno challenged Adam.

This time, Adam, having fully mastered the techniques of power-based fighting, easily overwhelmed Juno.

When Juno charged at him with her Black Widow- style Fatal Scissor Lock, Adam immediately wrapped his arms around her and spun Juno around, dissipating her momentum. Then, he lifted her upside down and turned her into a right-side-up dragonfly before finishing her off with a final hug.

Juno was unable to move and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Unwilling to give up, she teamed up with Karen and Heather, and the three of them against one were still easily defeated by Adam, leaving her completely speechless except for yelling that he was a pervert.

Then they began teaching Heather how to shoot, this time with Adam teaching her personally.

Gun shooting is not only a romantic activity for men, but also for many women, as it is a good tool for women, who are inherently weaker, to overcome stronger opponents.

In the Big Bang Theory, Penny loves playing with guns and even took Leonard to a shooting club.

As a result, Leonard wanted to show off that he had played shooting games and was completely fine, but then he accidentally fired and injured his foot.

Fortunately, the bullet grazed my shoe and only scratched my little toe; a band-aid was all I needed.

Otherwise, Leonard, who was in excruciating pain, would definitely not be in the mood to continue bragging to Penny that he was also a big shot who had been shot.

Many of the women are even gun addicts.

For example, Robin Hill, the deputy director of S.H.I.E.L.D.., is a typical example in How I Met Your Mother.

Whenever she's in a bad mood, she goes to the shooting club and goes on a shooting spree.

The house has all kinds of firearms.

Heather has a so-so feeling about shooting, and even dislikes it somewhat, because the recoil and her size make her more prone to injury than others.

There was nothing Adam could do about this.

In the end, Karen stepped forward and shared some special little tips that she had come up with.

All four of them were drenched in sweat by the end of the afternoon.

"Shall we go for a swim in the lake?"

Heather suggested.

"OK."

Juno echoed.

Adam thought for a moment and nodded.

Galveston is by the sea, and all three of Adam's companions know how to swim. Since Heather made the suggestion, she obviously does as well.

Although the Cabin in the Woods has a shower system, it's still not as enjoyable as playing in the lake.

Moreover, the Phoebe is one of the most beautiful sights in the world, and Adam didn't want to miss it.

Adam and Juno, carrying guns, and Karen and Heather, carrying swimsuits, set off for the lake.

After arriving.

"You guys go down and wash first, I'll stay here and watch over you."

Adam laughed.

"Then you'd better be careful."

Juno joked, "Don't focus all your attention on us."

Adam didn't refute, but simply smiled and said, "I'll try my best."

Juno laughed and cursed a few times.

While Adam turned around, the three of them changed into their swimsuits. Heather took a quick step and rushed into the lake, moving as gracefully as a mermaid.

"Wow, Heather, you're not a professional swimmer, are you?"

Juno and Karen followed, and were amazed to see Heather swimming rapidly around them.

"No."

Heather laughed heartily, "I've always loved swimming, and I even dreamed of becoming a beach lifeguard."

Adam had already turned his head and saw Heather in the water. His eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "If she were to go on Baywatch Chandler and Joey's favorite variety show, they would probably never leave the TV."

No, I have to give Heather extra training tonight. The fighting environment will be set in the rain...
