Chapter 174: Not in charge of the teacher
A small "measurements" episode can't change Barbara's mind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info she still took over the dark purple and black as the main body with yellow embellishments, and took over the title of "Batgirl".
In the next ten days, in order to accept the training of the other party, she even invited an irregular long-term from the Gotham Library. This incident was known to her father, and it also caused her father to worry. Fortunately, she used "thinking about the rest of her life" as a reason, and her father understood her character and did not doubt it. In her father's opinion, although the Gotham Library is a relatively quiet place compared to the whole of Gotham, it is still too condescending for Barbara. If it weren't for the danger and care, he, the police chief, would have recruited a girl like Barbara, who is talented and skilled, and can stimulate the enthusiasm of the opposite sex, into the Gotham Police Department.
Barbara, of course, knows her strengths in these areas. But she soon realized that these charms of hers were nothing at all in front of the "post" of "Batgirl" and the guy who gave her the title.
In fact, Barbara hadn't seen the other person's face so far, and she wasn't even 100% sure that the other person was the person she thought he was - except that he actually had a bat suit. However, she has confirmed that the other party is stronger than her in terms of resourcefulness, and can even suppress her in terms of skill. And this is the main reason why she believes in the other party and chooses to take the suit from the other party.
Every morning, Barbara finds a small note at the head of her bed. In this regard, in the first few days, she protested against the other party's trespassing, and the other party did not take it seriously every time. Forget it, don't talk about this. After waking up and having breakfast, she would carry her backpack with her new suit and run to the address written on the note to receive the training arranged by the other party. The locations recorded on the slip of paper are different from day to day, but each of the places chosen by the other party has one thing in common, which is that "no daylight is seen" - most of those places are basements or even during the day, they can be very dark.
She suspected that the other party deliberately did not let her see his appearance clearly. The explanation given by the other party is that the vigilante "work" in the dark most of the time, so the first thing to do is to adapt to the darkness.
Makes sense, doesn't it.
Let's move on. After arriving at the location designated by the other party, Barbara first has to fight with the other party in the dark. In this kind of fighting, she is allowed to wear a battle suit and use various means and tools. At this time, she was in full state. And the other party will "release" his own strength based on her performance. Eighty out of seventy or even only half? Barbara didn't know, she only knew that every time the other party did not use absolute strength or speed, but used skills to defeat her completely on the premise of using similar strength and speed as hers. This is also the reason why she is sure that the other party can suppress her in terms of skill.
After a heart-wrenching battle, for her, Barbara's entire body was mobilized and began to do all sorts of physical training. In order not to get injured under the intense physical training, the lights are on in the room at this stage. It's a pity that the other party is usually not there at this stage, and Barbara doesn't have much opportunity to observe and understand each other. Later, Barbara learned that the other party did not leave her to train herself and sleep lazily, but went to make those props by hand.
Also, with the recent activity of the other party, coupled with that fighting style, the consumption of various props is not an ordinary block. Before that, she had studied some related cases of Batman, and she had always thought that the other party had a very large and professional scientific research & manufacturing team behind her!
Around noon, the other party would come back once, put down the food to prepare for her, and then leave in a hurry. Barbara took the opportunity to rest while finishing such a lunch, and then continued her physical training. The same goes for dinner and after dinner. By about half past eight in the evening, when the physical training was over, she had to fight the other party again. According to the other party, the one in the morning was to train her efficiency in entering the state and how to maximize her combat effectiveness when she was in good condition while warming up, while the one in the evening was to teach her how to find opportunities to fight back when she was exhausted.
After nine o'clock in the evening, that was when the other party went out to "commit crimes" as Batman. Originally, Barbara was looking forward to it. But seeing that the other party has to fight with her after she is exhausted, you know that she will not have the opportunity to officially appear as a "Batgirl" in a short time. During this time, she received the task of going home to sleep and let her body recover after a tense day. Although she was a little unhappy with this arrangement, and even suspected that the other party wanted her to not follow him to "appear" after exhaustion, she could only accept this arrangement. And to be honest, recalling some of the points that the other party told her after the two battles, she fell asleep a lot better than before she got the "Batgirl" suit!
By the way, although the equipment is still those instruments, the training methods left by the other party are very different from those in the fitness studios on the market or Barbara found on the Internet. Not to mention the intensity, this Barbara can grit her teeth and hold it down, but the level of boredom is really not acceptable to ordinary people. If it weren't for the other party saying that this was the stage of laying the foundation and that it wouldn't always be like this, Barbara would have to seriously consider whether it was time to give up. However, it has to be said that the effect of such training is also very significant. Normally, it takes a while to get to the gym or something, but now Barbara can feel her progress almost every morning.
It's not psychological, at least not exactly. At least every next morning, when she made her way to the address on the note, she ran faster and easier. And in the subsequent battle with the other party, her performance became more and more unexpected to herself, and even forced the other party to increase his own "release level" several times. On top of that, she also showed better and better endurance during physical training.
This also made her look forward to the next stage of "work".
On this day, however, the unexpected happened. When she woke up early in the morning, she found that there was no small note next to her bed. What's even more unexpected is that her first reaction is not to be happy that she has not trained, as she thought, but to fear that she will lose her qualification as "Batgirl"!
It was almost the longest few hours of her life. She spent the whole morning restless and irritable. After a quick bite to eat at noon, she went to the Gotham Police Station to find her father and ask for some useful information. As a result, at first Chief Gordon was not at the police station at all, and Barbara waited for a while. And because she can't show special concern for Batman, she can't just ask her father to tell what she wants to know, but has to knock on the side, which takes a lot of time. Then she had to sort out the information she wanted from the information she knew, and before she knew it, it was already night, and she found out.
After declining her father's invitation to dinner, she hurried back to her apartment, put on her "Batgirl" suit, and set off for her destination.
