Super Detective in the Fictional World

Selina’s fist struck the empty air above Luke’s head while Luke grabbed her waist with his arms and instantly bore her down on the ground with his massive strength, as if she was a helpless doll.

Before Selina could even react, Luke shifted his body and wrapped his arms around one of hers while his legs wrapped around her chest to suffocate her.

Luke said, “Selina, you lose.”

Selina replied, “I haven’t surrendered.”

Luke replied, “Sure, try moving.”

Selina started struggling, only to find that she couldn’t even budge.

Her right arm was completely locked by Luke, and his legs kept her body on the ground. As for her left hand, it couldn’t exert any strength at all in her current position.

After struggling for half a minute, she said helplessly, “Fine, release me.”

Luke released her and stood up before helping her up with a smile. “I thought you practice mixed martial arts? If so, you should be rather familiar with an armlock, right?”

Selina replied, “I learned from a cousin, but he’s busy preparing to join the UFC. In any case, he hasn’t taught me the armlock.”

Luke was speechless. “So, your so-called mixed martial arts is in fact something you learned from a cousin who isn’t even in the UFC yet?”

After thinking about it, Luke said, “I’ll go get a pair of punch mitts. You can try punching them.”

Selina nodded.

The short spar earlier taught her that what little skills she had was far from enough against Luke.

Next, muffled sounds rang out in the ring as she started punching the punch mitts.

After a few minutes, Luke finally signaled for her to stop. Selina sat down and gasped for breath.

Luke set the mitts aside and sat down before saying, “You have a basic foundation in boxing. For someone doing it as a hobby, you’re very decent. However, I think you made the right choice in deciding to learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu. After all, you’re a woman. In situations where your body size and physical strength can’t compare with your opponent’s, Brazilian jiu-jitsu will allow you to subdue your opponent using skills instead. Moreover, boxing is very widely practiced, and you can easily encounter someone even better at it than you. Of course, there will also be criminals who have practiced Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but the number definitely won’t be as high as those who have boxed before. Therefore, you’ll be able to catch them by surprise, increasing the chances of you winning in a brawl.”

Selina nodded. “When will I reach your level?”

Luke smiled. “In terms of technical skills, so long as you aren’t too stupid, you won’t have trouble reaching my level in three years.”

Selina replied, “That’s a long time.”

Luke shrugged. “I’ve been training since middle school. It’s been four years for me now.”

Only after hearing that did Selina accept that it would take years for her to reach his level. After all, she clearly wasn’t a genius fighter.

Luke didn’t tell her that even if she was on the same skill level as him, he would still be able to defeat her instantly.

After all, his 18 points of strength and 14 points of dexterity weren’t for show.

One of the reasons why he had defeated Selina so swiftly was that she wasn’t very good at boxing in the first place.

Moreover, she was only about 177 centimeters tall and only weighed about 60 kilograms. On top of that, both her physical strength and dexterity were far lower than Luke’s.

Since her skills, strength, and dexterity were no match for his, it was natural that she would be instantly defeated.

Even after improving her skills, she would still be completely suppressed by Luke in terms of dexterity and strength. At most, she would be able to survive a few seconds more compared with today.

Then again, there was no need to tell her all that. That would be too discouraging, and in any case, Luke wouldn’t be one of the enemies Selina would face in the future.

Next, instead of sparring, Luke proceeded to teach Selina the basics of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

This was something that required time. Only after practicing for a while would she be able to use what she learned in combat.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu was an extremely technical martial art that wasn’t simple to learn.

If the two of them practiced boxing, they might end up punching each other and leaving bruises on each other’s faces.

As for Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it was much simpler. So long as they held back the right amount and stopped once the opponent was subdued, there wouldn’t be any injuries.

In any case, practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu with a beauty was a pleasant experience. Luke would naturally never say anything unnecessary during such a training session.

After an hour of practice, Luke stopped the session. “Alright, take it slow since you’re just starting. Don’t injure yourself since we still need to work tomorrow.”

Selina nodded and leaned against a pillar, drenched in sweat.

Luke smiled and helped her stand straight. “Come on, you still need to send me home.”

Selina rolled her eyes. “I have no energy left and you still want me to send you home?”

Luke shrugged. “Fine, I’ll drive you. Just don’t ask for my driving license.”

Selina asked curiously, “Where’s your driving license? It’s been two months.”

Luke replied, “I wish I knew. Do you want to go ask the people at the Department of Motor Vehicles for me? Ask them what’s the hold up.”

Selina snorted. “Forget it. Those people are no different than sloths. They always take their sweet time doing anything.”

Before long, Luke drove Selina home in her car. After tactfully rejecting her mother’s invitation to stay for a meal, he left on foot.

He strolled back home casually.

Generally speaking, in the United States, being outside at night was rather dangerous, even in a small town like this.

But Luke was a police officer and was armed with a gun.

He doubted that there was anyone brave enough to rob him.

If he drove from Selina’s place to his house, it would only take a few minutes. On foot, it was over 20 minutes.

Luke was in no rush. He strolled casually along the street and even spared the time to help a girl lift her bicycle out of the drain.

Apart from the girl’s gratitude, he also obtained two experience and credit points from the deed.

When he was nearly home, he saw a familiar figure standing several hundred meters away. Luke burst out laughing when he saw who it was.

It was Claire.

This naughty girl was now in her sophomore year of senior high school.

She was playing around on a skateboard outside their house. From her movements, it was obvious she was quite good at it.

Luke didn’t call out to her, but continued strolling toward her.

Suddenly, a car sped over from the other side of the road.

The car abruptly stopped beside Claire. Then, a head popped out from the car, as if someone was asking for directions.

Luke frowned when he saw that. He had been a police officer for two months. Whenever he saw someone new, it was now second nature for him to judge whether they were dangerous or not.

The stat points he allocated to strength had also enhanced his eyesight. Thus, he was able to see that the person in the car was a Latin American, and for some reason, he had a feeling that this person was up to no good.

But Luke quickly told himself that he was being oversensitive.

Next, the car door suddenly opened. Someone reached out from the back to pull Claire into the car.

Luke’s face fell as he quickly rushed forward.

But the kidnapper had obviously planned ahead. Although Claire instinctively struggled, she was still pulled into the car.

It was too late!

Luke grew anxious.
