7 Years since he met them
"Hey! Kevin!"
"You still have a long way to go! Su, today I'll let you know why I'm your big brother!"
"Kevin, you bastard, how dare you say that!"
"Today is a good day to settle all old and new grudges."
After Tian Shi's somewhat annoying initial comments, Kevin and Su continued to fight as usual.
"Are those two idiots?"
MEI asked Tian Shi, pointing to the two fighting by the river.
"MEI, if you have to ask me such an obvious question, I'll doubt your IQ."
"Right."
MEI couldn't help but hold her forehead.
"Doctor, do you want to go fishing somewhere else? It's too noisy here."
Just looking at those two people made MEI feel as if her IQ had decreased.
While MEI was talking, she took out the fishing rod and bait she had prepared long ago.
It was obvious that she was prepared.
"You..."
Tian Shi didn't ask where MEI's fishing rod came from.
After all, the equipment (scrap) from the base could be sold once repaired.
You certainly can't buy a high-end fishing rod, but it's definitely not hard to buy a common fishing rod.
"Don't worry, Doctor, I haven't wasted my money."
"I'm not talking about spending money wildly... Well, since you say so, let's go together."
You can't just leave MEI alone and watch these two stupid guys fight, right?
"But on this riverbank..."
"Go up this river, there's a lake on top."
"You've become more intriguing, MEI."
Tian Shi looked meaningfully at his student.
Obviously, MEI has figured out the ins and outs of all this.
Although she still looks like a nerd, on the inside she has become much smarter.
"No, no... I just want you to have fun, Doctor."
MEI, who had been calm at first, immediately turned her head guiltily.
"After all, it's a unique opportunity to go camping with you, Doctor... ahem, and my fellow apprentices..."
You didn't think about your younger brothers at all at first, did you?
Tian Shi complained in his heart as he looked at the only two fishing rods.
But looking at the two idiots who were there, Tian Shi didn't know what to say.
I only brought a bunch of snacks when I went camping...
Well, in reality Su still has some common sense, but when he's with Kevin, his IQ will drop to Kevin's, and then he'll be defeated by Kevin's experience...
Although sometimes Su will lead Kevin astray, this doesn't stop Tian Shi from wanting to kick these two idiots in the butt.
But Tian Shi was too lazy to expose MEI's little thoughts.
"Let's go. I feel like having a snack."
"After all, the food we brought is not enough for the three days of camping."
Yes, it's a camping training, and the location is on the mountain next to Changkong City, but the main goal of the training is actually the two boys Kevin and Su.
For MEI, it was just a picnic trip.
Going upstream, Tian Shi soon saw the lake MEI had mentioned.
"By the way, MEI, have you already prepared the topic for your physics exam? Didn't you start preparing it when high school started?"
Tian Shi put the bait on and cast the fishing rod in a somewhat unfamiliar way, then asked MEI casually.
By the way, MEI and the others have already graduated from elementary school.
MEI has become an elegant young lady, and the little loli she once was is gone forever.
"The topic is not yet chosen, but the direction is already determined: quantum mechanics."
"Although I'm not surprised by this result, I logically thought you would choose electromagnetism, which is what your father is good at."
Tian Shi said, looking at the calm lake.
"This... is difficult to explain, you know? I feel like I do better with quantum mechanics."
MEI's attention was not on the fishing rod or the lake, but she looked with narrowed eyes at the fishing rod that was next to her.
"Or is it that you, Doctor, are good at teaching?"
"I'm not as good at teaching as you are at learning."
Tian Shi shook his head.
"If you find any difficulties when writing your thesis..."
"I'll look for you?"
MEI took the word with a smile, and then she couldn't help but sigh.
"Seriously...? Is studying the only topic we have in common?"
"It's better to say that what you said is totally inconsistent with the impression you've always given me."
MEI actually doesn't want to mention studying...
"What's that saying... 'Girls change a lot as they grow up'? I've changed a lot, haven't I?"
MEI looked at her reflection in the lake and saw that she was smiling.
"In every aspect."
"That is irrefutable."
Tian Shi looked at MEI.
The nerd loli from back then has grown up completely.
It may even be because she has eaten more due to the training in recent years, so her development is surprisingly good.
"Speaking of other topics... weight?"
Tian Shi asked with a hint of a joke.
"You'll lose your student's respect if you keep talking about topics that have no emotional intelligence."
Hearing about weight, MEI couldn't help but frown.
Although she had a very good figure, due to the amount of muscle, Mei was a little fatter than her classmates of the same figure.
If someone else said that, she wouldn't care, but if Tian Shi said that...
Ah, I still care.
No, I care a lot.
"Anyway, can we skip that topic?"
MEI finds it difficult to bring up the idea of losing weight, because rationally she tells herself that losing weight is impossible: because her problem isn't being fat!
The current three-dimensionality of MEi is basically on the same level as Mei's.
B: 89 W: 62 H: 90.
To make an analogy, it's similar to Bianka; so, regardless of how you analyze this data, it has nothing to do with obesity.
There is no extra fat on the body and no place to lose weight.
You can't just reduce your breasts, can you?
She weighs this because her brain was infected by those two stupid younger brothers over there.
"It's rare to have an interesting topic to talk about... You're not cute anymore, MEI."
"That's what you told me when you were a kid."
MEI replied in a deadpan tone, as if she were in a bad mood.
"When you were a kid, past tense. Now is now... But MEI, you are no longer suitable for cute roles."
After all, she has the figure of a mature woman, and pretending to be cute would seem strange.
"Because I'm no longer a child."
Speaking of this, MEI also sighed slightly.
In fact, she felt a little stupid as a child...
"By the way... Doctor, are these all the topics you have to talk about?"
"Anything else besides this? Do you want to know about the problems of those two idiots? Although this is quite interesting."
"Forget it."
MEI was not interested at all.
If it weren't for her two younger brothers, now...
Well, it was thanks to those two younger brothers that she had the opportunity to go camping with Tian Shi.
"Then I don't have much to talk about. I'm basically hanging out with you. Coming up with a topic is not my strong suit."
Tian Shi expressed his helplessness.
The main reason is that MEI is a very good girl.
She spends at least 70% of her time studying, and there are only a few topics that can be used to tease her.
Unlike Kevin, who walks around with excess energy every day and has a dark past.
If it were about Kevin and Su's dark history, Tian Shi could talk about it until night.
"Well, that's true..."
MEI thought about it and felt a little discouraged.
"Well, what about my other older brothers? I remember you have other students, Doctor."
"Well... that's true, but there are no older brothers, only older sisters."
Tian Shi touched his chin.
"But I can't give details, at least not for now."
After all, if this kind of thing is not handled properly, it can cause conflicts and require special treatment.
"..."
I feel a little weird.
What's wrong with me?
But since Tian Shi said he couldn't say it, MEI didn't ask any more questions.
(The Doctor must have his own reasons for not wanting to say it. If I ask him more, it would seem like I have no consideration.)
This so-called fishing suddenly became boring.
This development is completely different from the information she found on the Internet...
"Stop fishing, go back to the river... fishing is a leisure activity only if you manage to maintain your composure. If you don't, it will be torture."
"Doctor..."
MEI had the feeling that her small thoughts were seen.
"Understood, let's go back..."
Then...
"Come on, Kevin! I already have four! If you can't catch any more, I win!"
"Damn it! Why are these fish so hard to catch...? Su! You forced me to do this!"
"Hey! You bastard, you stole my fish?!"
"I stole it with my own skill! If you have the skill, come and take it!"
MEI: "..."
Tian Shi: "..."
Looking at the two boys in front of him, Tian Shi could only sigh that fishing in the river was really a skill etched into a boy's DNA.
"Doctor... look at this..."
"Forget it. Anyway, I can be sure that I'll be able to have something extra for dinner tonight."
These two guys are as problematic as ever.
Tian Shi and MEI put their foreheads together.
"Let's go make a campfire."
"Okay."
......
"Okay, now that you've had enough fun, it's time to start formal training."
After a simple dinner, Tian Shi spoke to Kevin, who was lying on the ground; after all, Su couldn't hear him.
"I'm so full... I had so much fun, I don't want to move anymore..."
Kevin was lying on the ground and looked like a dead fish.
On the other hand, Su wasn't much better, not to mention that his physical condition wasn't very good.
"..."
Tian Shi resisted the urge to kick the two little bastards and turned to look at Mei.
"MEI, get the stuff out."
"Understood."
MEI nodded, then turned around and took two cloth bags, one long and one short, out of her luggage.
"Show these two boys."
"Okay."
MEI opened the two cloth bags and a long sword and a set of double pistols appeared in front of Kevin and the others.
"What, what is this!?"
Kevin, who didn't want to move at the time, suddenly stood up with a somersault.
"Teacher, are these two for me!?"
"..."
Could you have a little shame, please?
"Just this."
MEI threw the sword she had in her hand to Kevin indifferently; she wouldn't be surprised by anything that idiot did.
"The electromagnetic sword has a simple structure and rudimentary operation. Do you see the button on the hilt? When you press it, an electric current capable of completely burning a person's internal organs will burst out in an instant."
"Huh? Huh? Burnt?"
Kevin, who was about to press it twice to test it, suddenly felt his hands tremble.
"This kind of electric current... can kill people even if they touch it from the outside... isn't it too dangerous?"
When the topic of "killing" actually came up, Kevin, who had been evasive, froze.
After all, Kevin has never been on a battlefield, so this reaction is understandable.
"It needs to be charged. It takes a day to fully charge. Once charged, it can only be used three times, don't worry, the one you have now is exhausted, by the way, this sword is not sharp, if you use it to do foolish things, practically no one will discover it."
MEI explained with a deadpan face, and still looked like a nerd to everyone except Tian Shi.
Kevin looked at the button on the hilt of the sword and saw that there were indeed three charging slots, all of them dark.
"That's not bad... Hey!"
Kevin then bravely did a sword flourish.
"But of course, is it necessary to give us such a dangerous weapon? After all, if something goes wrong..."
Although Kevin is still immature, he still knows how to handle big and small things.
Although charges are not brought against him now, this cannot hide the fact that this is a murderous weapon.
"Do you think I was joking when I told you that the world was on the verge of destruction?"
Tian Shi blocked everything Kevin wanted to say with a single sentence.
"These weapons are for you to defend yourselves when you are in danger... Kevin, pick up Su."
"Su, get up, they're giving us weapons!"
"I understand..."
Su, who was not in good physical condition, stood up with difficulty.
MEI directly handed the two remaining weapons to Su.
"Is this... a toy?"
After Su took the two weapons, he weighed them a few times and asked incredulously.
"No, it seems to weigh a little more."
"The toy gun is a disguise. The magazine has a capacity of five bullets and the type of bullet is... marbles."
"Huh?"
"Strictly speaking, they are polished steel beads. Do you think bullets are that easy to make? But polished steel beads are not expensive. You can even order them custom-made."
MEI explained without expression.
"In addition, as for its function, this pistol can perform electromagnetic acceleration on the bullets; of course, it also requires charging. One charge can support fifteen accelerations."
"Electromagnetic acceleration seems very high-tech... but it's too backward to only be able to shoot steel balls, right?"
"It depends on the local conditions."
"So, why do all our weapons run on electricity?"
Kevin asked, confused.
"Of course, it's because the cheapest, most convenient, largest, and most lethal energy we have access to is electricity."
