Cosmic Paragon

A few days later, Drake no longer needed to monitor everything about Simon’s progress at all times. Now Simon was already much better at this.

He was constantly learning from every interaction with every girl.

Drake had to admit, he was very much satisfied with this little disciple of his. Drake only needed to explain something once and he would instantly learn from it.

From one lesson Simon would comprehend, extrapolate and make his own deductions of how to handle different situations using different tactics.

It became easier and easier for him to talk to girls. And he was soon capable of reading a few girls, but just a few and sometimes his deductions were wrong.

Simon was a gamer and as one, one of the most important skills when up against another person was the ability to predict the opposition.

However, Simon was dismayed to realize that no matter how good he got, he was never able to predict girls and be accurate more than three out of ten times.

"Damn it, why can’t I read and predict them with precision! It’s like they’re saying North when they mean South and even when I guess and go South, I’ll find that they went West instead. The whole thing is driving me crazy." howled Simon. He was almost breaking down in tears.

Peter patted the young man’s shoulder and consoled him with a pitying smile. "Ah Simon my dear Simon, that’s the mistaking. You are trying to understand and predict the woman’s heart as a mere mortal man. But you don’t know is that even an immortal can’t do that."

Simon raised his head with a begging look in his eyes. He craved enlightenment, yet after trying and failing countless times he found no answer. If anything he only felt more and more lost.

Peter thought it was about time Simon learnt some ancient wisdom. He started, "You need to understand that men are simple creatures when compared to the woman. Their species is naturally smarter and more complicated than us. Majority of the time, the things we do or say or how we behave looks outright stupid in their eyes. Why is that? It’s because we’re too lazy to always pay attention to every little detail. Women however, are the complete opposite. They are constantly paying attention to everything.

To make a comparison, if a man’s mind is like a straight line, then the woman’s head is like a ball of wires. Everything is connected!"
