“What’s next?”

Tiona took Lefiya and returned to Livilia and asked.

“Let me think about it. Hmm, let’s tie her up first, but leave one of her hands free to move.”

“OK, leave it to me.”

When Tiona heard this, she thought it was fun and started to do it excitedly.

After a while, Lefiya was tied to a pillar with the chains provided by Su Mo. Her legs were bound and her left hand was tied behind her back. Except for her right hand and head, her whole body was unable to move.

“What on earth are you doing?”

Lefiya asked with a look of despair and frustration on her face.

“Of course it’s to test your instinctive reactions.”

As Livilia spoke, she stuffed a wooden sword for practice into Lefiya’s only movable right hand.

Lefiya was holding the wooden sword, confused as to what was going on, when she felt a pain on the top of her head and was hit by a wooden stick by Livilia who suddenly came up to her.

“Auntie~! Why are you hitting me again?!”

Livilia ignored her and thought to herself, “It seems that I can’t arouse your stress response.”

As she said that, Livilia handed the stick to Tiona and whispered something in Tiona’s ear.

“Hey, it’s my turn.”

After hearing this, Diona took the stick with a wicked smile on her face and gestured at Lefiya’s head twice.

“…”

The corner of Lefiya’s eye twitched, and she finally understood what the people opposite her were trying to do.

But precisely because I understood it, I couldn’t help but feel like crying.

“Well, can we try another test method? This is torture.”

“Stop talking so much nonsense, come on!”

Diona showed a ferocious smile: “If you don’t want to fight, you have to defend yourself well. Otherwise, I’m worried that if I can’t control my strength, then…”

As she spoke, Diona smashed a watermelon nearby, which was also provided by Su Mo, with a stick.

puff!

The watermelon exploded in an instant under Diona’s tremendous power, and the red flesh and juice splashed all over the ground and onto Lefiya.

But Lefiya didn’t care about getting dirty, and looked at the wooden stick in Diona’s hand with horror, which was dripping with red juice like blood.

If Diona hit her head with a stick with all her strength, she might end up like the watermelon…

Gulu~!

Lefiya said with a pale face: “Well, why don’t we just forget it? If you think about it carefully, this test is actually not reasonable at all, right?”

“Stop talking nonsense! Just die!”

Tiona didn’t listen to Lefiya’s excuses at all. She raised the wooden stick and smashed it hard at Lefiya.

“No!!!”

Lefiya screamed and closed her eyes in despair.

Bang~!

Click~

A crisp sound and a shattering sound were heard at the same time.

Then, Lefiya felt a pain in her head, and then she heard Diona’s panicked voice.

“Yabai! You can’t hold back your strength!”

“Lefiya, are you okay?!”

Lefiya slowly opened her eyes and looked at Diona, who looked apologetic and worried, with some confusion.

“Ah? I’m not dead?”

“Of course he’s not dead. This is just to scare you. There’s nothing dangerous about it.”

Livilia explained: “In fact, if you think about it carefully with your little head, you will know that ordinary wooden sticks can’t hurt you at all.”

Although Lefiya is a mage, her physique is weaker than that of melee adventurers of the same level.

But no matter what, his level is high, so his physique can’t be that weak.

Therefore, ordinary wooden objects cannot break Lefiya’s defense at all.

Even if the 413 is performed by a power-type player like Tiona, it still won’t work.

Because before the force was transmitted to Lefiya, or at the moment it was transmitted, the wood would collapse.

This is also the reason why Livilia dares to do this with confidence.

Although the process looks scary, it will not cause any harm to Lefiya, it will only hurt a little at most.

Well, at most it will leave a bump, no more.

“Huh? It seems so?”

When Lefiya heard this, she also reacted.

Then he changed back to his expression of being teased: “You guys are really… scaring people can kill them, okay? Do you know how desperate I was just now, wow wow wow wow ~!”

After she expressed her grievances, Lefiya couldn’t hold back and burst into tears.

Seeing this, Livilia and Diona hurriedly tried to comfort her. After a while, they managed to calm Lefiya down.

“Um, can you put me down first?”

After calming down, Lefiya looked down and found that she was still tied up, so she asked the two men to let her go.

Unexpectedly, Livilia, who had been in a good mood, changed her expression instantly when she heard this request.

He refused without hesitation: “That won’t work. The test isn’t over yet.”

Upon hearing this, Lefiya was stunned.

“What?! It’s not over yet?!”

…To be continued….

Chapter 291 The root of the problem, self-confidence training

Next, with Lefiya’s desperate cooperation, everyone conducted a lot of tests on her.

For example, it was still hitting the head with a wooden stick, but the executor was changed to Su Mo.

Another example is animal testing, where the attacking party is replaced by various animals.

The last step was the monster test. Livilia asked Diona to go outside and borrow a tamed monster from other families.

In addition to being tied to a pillar, several people also tried to let Lefiya move freely in order to observe Lefiya’s different reactions to various situations.

As for the test results, they can only be described as terrible.

In addition to animal testing, Lefiya will fight back against some cute little animals.

In other tests, Lefiya would act extremely frightened, completely forgetting to resist or fight back, and would just passively fight or run away.

“How is it? Do you see any problem?”

Livilia frowned and asked Su Mo who made the suggestion.

Su Mo nodded: “Yeah, I can see a little bit.”

“Then hurry up and tell me, don’t keep me in suspense.”

Upon hearing this, Diona urged.

Aisi on the side and Lefiya, who looked a little embarrassed, also looked over.

Especially Lefiya, her eyes were very eager.

After all, she didn’t want to be tossed around for so long without any gain, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of her time?

Su Mo scratched his head. “How should I put it? First of all, it is certain that Lefiya can actually fight back when the enemy approaches her.”

“But the problem is that in most cases, she doesn’t dare, or doesn’t have the courage, to fight back.”

“Well, there may be other reasons, but in short, Lefiya is very resistant to close contact with most ‘enemies’.”

“You’re just talking nonsense. We can see that too.” Diona curled her lips.

What kind of nonsense is this? Lefiya has always behaved like this, so you don’t need to say anything?

Su Mo didn’t care about Diona’s argument and continued, “Then let’s talk about the main point. “

“Through the test just now, we can see that there is a pattern in the ‘enemies’ that Lefiya dares to fight back against.”

Upon hearing this, Livilia looked at the test records thoughtfully.

Diona didn’t understand and asked, “What’s the pattern?”

“Well.” Su Mo smiled awkwardly: “It may be appearance, or strength.”

Then Su Mo picked up a test record, showed it to several people, and pointed out some of the records.

“These are all cases where Lefiya has fought back, and the test subjects in these cases are, without exception, cute little animals that are generally considered harmless.”

“When other large animals, even those that were originally docile, go crazy and attack Lefiya, she will also be frightened and forget to fight back.”

“So, it can be seen that Lefiya has her own set of criteria for determining danger.”

“Once the enemy passes this criterion and enters the enemy’s attack range, Lefiya will subconsciously evade instead of eliminating the danger through counterattack.”

“It’s just that the upper limit of her standards is too low.”

How could it not be low? He obviously has great strength and can lift about five tons, but he is scared to death even of a mad ordinary buffalo. I really don’t know what to say.

Su Mo concluded: “Cowardice and lack of awareness of her own strength are the fundamental causes of Lefiya’s problem.”

“If we want to improve her, in addition to boosting her courage, we also need to make her clearly aware of her own strength and do some training to build her confidence in close combat.”

After hearing this, Diona couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“To put it bluntly, your method is to make Lefiya learn close combat. We have already overcome this problem, so it is not very effective.”

In order to help Lefiya improve this problem, everyone in Loki’s family has been making various attempts.

They had tried to teach Lefiya close combat skills, but it was as if she hadn’t learned anything. When it came to the critical moment, Lefiya would still be at a loss.

“Learning close combat isn’t the point at all.”

Su Mo explained speechlessly: “The key is to build confidence. It’s not about whether you can fight in close combat, but whether you dare to fight in close combat.”

Livilia also nodded in agreement.

“Yes, judging from Lefiya’s counterattacks in the previous tests, it is not difficult to see that she has actually learned some close combat skills, but she just doesn’t dare to use them most of the time.”

“So, what’s the difference?”

Diona scratched her head in annoyance. She didn’t understand what the two people meant. She just thought, aren’t these two plans the same?

“I’ve already said it, it’s a difference in direction.”

Su Mo patiently explained: “Your training only allows her to fight back, but you didn’t consider whether she dares to do so.”

“Now after testing, it has been confirmed that Lefiya can fight back.”

“.‖ Then what we need to do next is to make her brave enough to fight back. Do you understand?”

Diona suddenly realized: “So that’s it.”

“So, what can we do to build her confidence?”

“This is actually very easy to do. You just need to do it more and gradually increase the intensity.”

The so-called self-confidence training is actually a lesson that all recruits in modern armies will go through.

The content is also very simple. Set a goal, let the trainees complete it, and give praise and compliments after completion.

Then, increase the intensity a little and do it again, again and again, and by repeating this step, the trainee’s self-confidence will be built up little by little.

However, this is only the smoothest case.
