Chapter 5: Seven Years
Jessica lay on the ground with a sour body, three days, Jessica only took three days to understand the meaning of Avril's words, Avril had given him special training since he came back on which day, and tossed him hard. Jessica always felt that there was a sense of revenge in this. "Well, have you rested?" Avril crouched on the ground in an indecent position, with a wooden table in front of her, and the barbs on the wooden table told that it was made recently, in fact, just three days ago.
The day after returning from the beach, Avril gave Jessica a very strange training program, which is strange to say that there is no common life in which a turtle shell of more than 100 pounds is not allowed to be taken off, there is no meditation under the cliff and waterfall, and there is no crazy high-intensity boxing that challenges the limit. (Legend of Light complains: Are these normal training items for you?) Jessica: Uh! Isn't it? That's what it's said in both anime and novels. Legend of Light: You also know that it's anime and novels, but in reality, you do it?! Jessica said weakly, "But here it is." Legend of Light Surprise: What did you discover that this is the world of fiction!! Jessica said: I mean, Fairy Tail is the world of anime, how did it get to the novel, and who are you?! Legend of Light: Oh no, amnestics! Go back in time! Backspace deletion and reconstruction, unblock! It's something of unknown significance.
When Jessica went to ask Avril, Avril sneered and said, "Daily weight-bearing life, and after taking it off, your body is as light as a swallow?" How is it possible that too much weight bearing will not only damage the muscles, bring a great load to the internal organs, blood circulation system, and affect development, but also not only will you not feel relaxed after taking off the weight, but you will also be uncoordinated because of the body's inability to adapt, as for standing under the cliff waterfall? Don't say that you can't do it if you're afraid of water, it's that you are not afraid of water, every drop of water under the cliff waterfall carries endless kinetic energy falling from a height, and it will be all cathartic on your body at that time, and there are countless droplets of water falling in an instant like a hundred metal frenzy shooting at you at the same time, even if your body is hard and not afraid, the power of confusion can push you away, because you don't have a 'root', that is, a foothold. And that's the scariest thing. It's not the physical strength that goes there to exercise, but the control of strength, and the guy who was injured at the beginning can't stand. As for the extreme exercise method, not to mention, it is completely overdrawing the body. Jessica blinked her eyes and said curiously, "Avril You said in such detail, you must have tried it yourself, right?" Avril Lavigne's body first stiffened when she heard this, and then she flicked her tail in annoyance, and with a loud bang, the trunk of a hundred-year-old giant tree broke off and flew away: "I'm just curious!" It's not like reading the legend and running to imitate it! "Does it make a difference? But after seeing the fate of the miserable giant tree, Jessica still didn't ask. So Avril had a new table.
"Do you know aerobic and anaerobic exercise?" While Jessica was training, Avril suddenly said something very fashionable, and without waiting for Jessica to answer, or not asking him at all, Avril continued to talk to herself. "The so-called high-intensity, high-frequency training such as weightlifting, sprinting and the like is a typical anaerobic exercise, which is characterized by the consumption of a lot of energy in an instant, the lack of blood, and the respiratory supply is insufficient, and soon the muscles will be tired, the persistence is poor, and the work is done in three minutes." Jessica almost didn't fall down on the side, that's called a sweat, Avril, lady, pay attention to demeanor. Although she knew that Avril had no other meaning, the impure Jessica still wanted to be crooked, secretly cheered, and resolutely refused to be the three-minute man with poor durability in Avril's mouth.
"The so-called aerobic exercise refers to the training carried out by the human body with sufficient oxygen supply, and the benefits are obvious, the training time is extended, which can soothe muscles, lose weight, and shape the body" It feels like Avril has become a little girl who cares about her body in an instant. "In short, you feel short of breath after doing a set of anaerobic exercises, and after resting for a while and doing a set of aerobic exercises to activate the soreness of your muscles, you can train with the magic potion I concocted, so that you can steadily extend your endurance while improving your strength. Then do some leg presses, shoulder presses, leg splits, iron bridges and other movements to help open the ligaments, and you will have to learn yoga in the future. Hearing this, Jessica couldn't help but ask, "What, Avril, didn't you say that my body can accept the backlash of dragon slaying magic?" Why do you have to do so much physical exercise? "Huh? When did I say that? "Yesterday's beach, don't say you forgot." "Oh, that's when it was." Avril was shocked. "The monster didn't make it clear at the time, I mean the first one that requires a strong body that you can 'have'. After half a year of observation, I found that you do not have any congenital diseases or genetic defects. 99.9% of all human beings in Acelyn meet this requirement. And your dragon slaying magic fit is an unprecedented 0%, and the backlash to endure is even more powerful than ever. You wouldn't think that a little kid under a year old could withstand the backlash of an enhanced version of dragon slaying magic, would you? He glanced at Jessica with disdain. Jessica's face is red, don't stop me and let me die. Ignore the grief-stricken Jessica. "In addition to enhancing the physical fitness, we also need to increase the fit of magic, and the fit of magic is to look at the attitude of the magician towards this magic and feel it intuitively. In other words, you have to overcome hydrophobia. β
"Get rested." Jessica, who was lying on the ground, felt the glutinous movement of the cells in her body, and the large and small intestines were contracting and absorbing energy. Enduring the weakness and tingling that permeated her body, Jessica staggered in, undressed, and plunged headlong into a bathtub filled with an unknown green liquid. "You have to count to a hundred before you can come out." Avril's voice was heard at the same time. After a period of silence, Jessica's helpless voice sounded: "One, two, three hundred!" Get it on! "Really, I'm not a kid anymore. Jessica, who was dressed, looked at the splashed ground and complained to herself. Sitting on the stool that Avril had specially arranged, Jessica asked, "Avril what is this?" "Oh cake, oh you haven't seen it yet, come, taste it." It's a delicacy from the outside world, and it's high in calories, so it's good for absorption. "Jessica tasted it, and it was delicious." It's not this, I'm asking how there can be cake on this lonely island where no one is around. "Of course I did." "Where's the raw material? There comes ""secrecy. I can teach you how to do it, though. Cakes, tea, cookies, macarons" "I can already anticipate my future as a pastry chef. β
After Jessica ate the cake, Avril announced the next step: "After my observation in the past few days and your own feelings, I have concluded that your hydrophobia is not simple, not only the fear of water, but also mixed with some things that you and I don't know, which is what makes your hydrophobia so serious. It probably has something to do with what happened to you as a child, it left a shadow somewhere inside you and can only be expected to be able to overcome it on your own when you grow up. Now the only thing we can do is reverse therapy. Jessica also thinks the same, in fact, although he has a bit of hydrophobia, it is not too serious, but when it comes to open water or heavy rain, the usually not serious hydrophobia will exponentially explode. If you just had a bathtub, you can stay for 100 seconds. (Well, I won't say anything.) οΌ
The two of them came to a nearby river, where the water level went from shallow to deep, and there were no rocks, which was very suitable for swimming. Jessica didn't say much, and walked down the river consciously. As soon as she stepped into the river, Jessica felt her heart shrink, and after calming down, Jessica staggered into the smooth but cold water. As soon as the water level reached her waist, Jessica went straight to the river with her legs limp. At this time, Avril who was guarding the side made a move, well, a shot in the real sense, Avril directly reached out and fished Jessica ashore. It doesn't seem to be so easy to solve. Avril watched as Jessica knelt on the ground and gasped, even her face was soaked with cold sweat. I couldn't help but sigh.
ββββββ my βββββββ is ββββββ forging βββββββ refining ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ cutting βββββββ lineβββββββ
Spring turns to autumn, in a lonely island on the sea, a figure is constantly waving sweat on the beach by the sea, and a long sea blue hair dances with it. Dark pupils, fair skin, bright red lips, what a cute little Lori, "Who is the little Lori, I'm obviously a man, okay?" I'm just young, it's hard for children to distinguish between men and women, and when I grow up, I must be an excellent man! "That's right, this is our protagonist Jessica. After a period of practice, Avril suddenly asked, "Jessica, how long have you been on this island?" Jessica immersed herself in the memories for a while, and then said with a hint of emotion: "There is no time for cultivation, and I can't remember the time in a hurry, I only know that the peach trees in the back mountain have bloomed and fallen, and they have been ripe seven times." (You think you're the Monkey King, and the flowers have bloomed and ripened seven times.) For seven years, Jessica has never stopped exercising her body, and although it is not visible on the surface, in fact, this seemingly ungrown body contains no less than the huge strange power and terrifying endurance of an adult orangutan. And after Avril's strict training, he finally became an excellent pastry chef! It can make a variety of cakes, puffers, cookies, frozen sweets, and chocolate snacks. In addition, you can also make black tea, flower tea, coffee, etc. In terms of craftsmanship, he was praised by Avril Lavril, saying that it had reached the level where it could open a store. What the? How did you say you learned dragon slaying magic? Of course, it won't, the problem of hydrophobia has not been solved since then, and I have been running to the river for the first month, but I have never seen any effect, and every time I get embarrassed, I give up reverse therapy over time. Now there is an occasional feeling of unwillingness to run and try it, but the result is of course very miserable.
"It's been seven years, it's been so long, it's time for you to make a choice, little Jesse." "Choice? What are the options? "I've seen your performance for the past seven years, and since that month of reverse therapy, you've been running to that river one day a week to continue treatment, and to be honest, I'm very impressed. But then you go less often, you go once every two weeks, three weeks, a month, and now you don't go anymore. Jessica lowered her head a little ashamedly. Don't be embarrassed, it's normal, and it's a good choice. The first option is to give up the magic of dragon slayer, and not to have to go through the hopeless struggle of becoming a dragon slayer magician. There must be more and better magic in the outside world, and you are now grown up and can go out and explore. Jessica shook violently and was ready to go to the outside world. What a tempting suggestion.
Needless to say, Jessica also knew what it was, but Avril still said it responsibly, and she hoped to give Jessica a fair choice: "The second one you also understand, is to persevere to the end, implement the original intention, and go through a more difficult trial than now in order to become a dragon slayer magician!" Choose!! After Avril finished speaking, she looked at the shaken Jessica and couldn't help but sigh, and walked away. You think about it here, think about it and come back and tell me. β
Jessica's heart is very entangled now, on the one hand, she has been longing for it since she was a child, and she has spent seven years of time and sweat for it. But I can't see the road ahead. On the one hand, there is a new future, he is still young and can start over, the outside world is still very big, he can always find new magic, a new mentor 'boom' woke up Jessica, Jessica only then realized that in the short time he was in a daze, the sky was covered by thick lead clouds, in which electric snakes flashed continuously, and the smell of storms came from the air, dignified and tyrannical. Jessica was startled and ran back. The cave is just behind, and a storm of this magnitude will only be safe in the cave.
It's a pity that it's late. Jessica, who had just run a short distance away, heard a loud bang again, and then the raindrops the size of beans crackled down. In the blink of an eye, the whole island was covered in heavy rain. Jessica's footsteps slowed down, and the moment the pouring rain fell on him, Jessica's movements slowed down, and the hydrophobia flared up again at this time. It was pitch black all around, and there was no one but Jessica herself. Avril said that she would wait for herself in the cave, and she would definitely never come out. The rain was heavy, and there was no place in the wild that could avoid such heavy rain, and Jessica walked alone in the torrential rain with her head down. He didn't just look up, because it would make him lose the last shred of courage.
