Not many people came to learn martial arts in the morning. Bobby decided to use a martial arts room on the second floor as Lydia’s competition venue. He was the referee.
Lydia changed and went to the second floor. Before she entered the door, Denton and the other three teachers put their arms around their chests and stood at the door, blocking it. They looked very oppressive.
Denton and Lydia’s eyes met. Lydia could clearly see the hatred in Denton’s eyes.
Lydia believed that she had never done anything wrong to Denton.
Lydia patted Denton’s shoulder, looking very sturdy. “Your figure is not bad. Your aura is not bad either. I hope that when we fight later, you will still face me with this ferocity.”
Denton sneered, “Do you think you can beat the four of us by yourself?”
“How do we know if we don’t try?”
Bobby shouted from behind, “What are you all standing at the door for? Since when did blocking the door become a type of martial art? Let’s see the real skills on the field! Come here, all of you!”
Bobby had a strong aura. With this roar, the whole room had shaken three times.
Denton and the others stepped aside and began to warm up.
Lydia also began to warm up, Bobby walked over and whispered, “I’ve thought about it. A round-robin fight is very disadvantageous to you, as they are four big men. “For the sake of fairness, I will set the number of moves you can use against each of them at 10 moves. Within 10 moves, if he can beat you, he wins.”
Lydia smiled and said, “What if it’s a draw?”
“The other party loses. You win.”
“This… Boss, you’re underestimating me too much.”
“They’re trying to tire you out. This in itself is despicable.”
Lydia originally wanted to be simple and direct. If four people attacked her at the same time, then she would fight four at once.
But thinking through again, she felt that this might cause public anger, so she decided to use a gentler method.
“How about this, we can use the snatching method to compete. I’ll tie something to my wrist. If the other party snatches it within 20 moves, then I’ll lose.”
“20 moves? Isn’t that a little too much?”
“Not too much.”
“Lydia…” Bobby had a worried expression.
Lydia was very gratified. Ever since she came to this dojo, Bobby had been very good to her. He was also very humane in his management. He would consider the needs of the employees from various aspects. He could really be considered a good boss.
“Thank you for your good intentions, Boss. Although I don’t know why, the discord between the staff is also very detrimental to the work that we do. Today, I will try to resolve this conflict once and for all.”
Lydia twisted her neck and walked to the middle of the room. The four people opposite seemed to have already discussed it. Kerry was the first to go up.
He was wearing a gray martial arts suit, wide long sleeves, and long pants. As he walked, he looked like a tiger.
Bobby walked up and explained the rules. Then he tied a bead to Lydia’s left wrist with a red string.
The four of them smiled at the same time. They were determined to win today.
Bobby hit the drum, and Kerry took the lead to attack Lydia’s neck. Lydia successfully dodged it with her years of flexibility.
Kerry swept out his leg almost at the same time, attacking Lydia’s ankle. Lydia had already anticipated his movements. When her upper body bent down, her whole body leaned to the side. She stepped hard, and when she perfectly dodged, she also did a side flip.
The people around held their breath and watched, unwilling to let go of any detail in this fight. Bobby was ready to catch Kerry’s overreaction, so that he could stop at any time.
Soon, Kerry and Lydia had finished 20 moves, but Kerry did not grab the bead on Lydia’s wrist. The two followed the rules and stopped immediately, saluting each other.
While saluting, Lydia’s left hand covered her right fist, and the bead on her left wrist shone in the light, making Denton, who was next to her, gnash his teeth.
Lydia was very calm. After 20 moves, her face was not red and her heart was not beating fast at all.
Then came the second and third opponents. After 40 moves, they still did not get Lydia’s bead.
It was Denton’s turn. Before he even bowed, the ferocity in his eyes could not be hidden anymore. It was as if he was telling Lydia with his eyes that he would not be as gentle to her as the previous three.
