Chapter 30: Was it soft, chewy, and a little sweet?
The next day rolled in without any more events and since the school was still ongoing, Penny expected that it was another day of some peace. But when she walked out of the garden, she saw Hugo ruthlessly grappling the martial arts doll on the grass.
His expression was vicious and sharp, giving the impression he was angry. Sweats poured from him like rain, damping his entire loose shirt. He was viciously beating the heck out of the dummy, launching some powerful martial arts moves.
Penny felt scared as she realized she had just walked in a landmine. To avoid potential problems, she carefully turned to leave. But as she was walking away, she couldn’t help but look down at her arms.
’How was it again?’ she raised her arms with her fingers held straight, her steps slowing down, mimicking Hugo’s moves.
In her first life, Penny enrolled in different martial arts classes and learned everything diligently. Although she barely used the skill back then with people, she continued to train. It was a good way to vent frustrations and anger, after all.
"I think it’s like this..."
"You got a nice posture."
Penny jumped away and threw her hands, caught off guard when someone spoke near her ear. When she looked back, Hugo sported an innocent smile.
"I saw you come in but also leave without saying a word," he explained. "And also, did you learn martial arts?"
He also saw her mimic his moves just now. Although she looked cute while doing so, he noticed that she had a good posture that showed her foundation.
"Hehe. Second Brother, I thought you were training, so I didn’t want to disturb you." Penny clasped her hands close to her chest. "Are you done?"
"Yep."
