Chapter 97: Chapter 92 I Will Not Apologize
After that, the coach, somewhat listlessly, explained to Xiao Yi that you don’t just tap the accelerator lightly and then let go, but rather, gently step on it, pushing it down a bit, and then keep it steady.
"So that’s how it is, I see, I think I’ve got it." Xiao Yi nodded confidently and then tried stepping on the accelerator.
However, the coach’s instruction just changed the car from jerking suddenly to jerking every second.
Looking on the bright side, at least the car moved forward.
"Um... It’s a bit difficult to control the foot to maintain it just lightly pressing on the accelerator." Xiao Yi analyzed, "It seems my brain has understood, but my body hasn’t."
"..." The coach, helplessly said, "Why don’t you just keep your foot still?"
"No, I’m having a bit of trouble controlling my strength right now." Xiao Yi explained, "I feel like my body is like a wild horse in heat, quite unruly."
Xiao Yi wasn’t wrong, it indeed wasn’t his fault.
Unlike talents and skills, which can only be effective in an instance, character attributes are legitimately your own strength, usable anywhere.
And as Xiao Yi’s physical fitness improved, so did his strength considerably.
But that was precisely why Xiao Yi could not control his body’s strength as accurately as before.
Although exerting full strength wasn’t a problem, the baseline for exerting and withdrawing strength had changed, and Xiao Yi had difficulty adapting to it at the moment.
He still needed some time before he could get used to his enhanced body.
But the coach didn’t understand this, he just sighed and said:
"That’s your own body, how can someone not control their body?"
"Coach, that’s where you’re wrong."
Xiao Yi shook his finger and said solemnly,
"Our bodies aren’t necessarily completely under our control, the knee-jerk reflex is the best proof. Also, like breathing, even if we don’t consciously think about it, breathing will still occur on its own. That’s why people only realize they’re breathing when they think or talk about it.
These spontaneous bodily responses are caused by neural and muscular reflexes, therefore we can conclude that our bodies aren’t entirely controlled by our brains, so it makes sense that controlling the body might be difficult."
Coach: "... Huh?"
The coach was taken aback and just when he almost felt it made sense, he quickly realized... What Xiao Yi said had no direct relation to his conclusion, right?
He was almost fooled.
Besides, the coach couldn’t help but wonder where Xiao Yi learned all these bizarre pieces of knowledge from.
Actually, most of Xiao Yi’s knowledge came from entertaining content he had watched.
Xiao Yi couldn’t usually remember knowledge from books, but if it appeared in an entertaining medium he was interested in, he was quite likely to remember it.
However, the coach wasn’t here to listen to Xiao Yi talk about these strange topics, he sighed again and said:
"If only you could use the effort you put into learning those odd things for learning how to drive, sigh... let’s continue."
"Understood!"
So, Xiao Yi once again started trying to control his strength and gently stepped on the accelerator.
Driving also helped Xiao Yi adapt quicker to his current body.
After a while, although Xiao Yi’s driving was still inconsistent, at least the car kept moving continuously.
The coach couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In truth, driving itself wasn’t difficult, the challenging part was precisely how to drive well under various constraints.
Fortunately, the coach didn’t have those worries. He just needed to teach Xiao Yi to drive. The usual points and rules required for the driving test, he hardly needs to teach, which brought him some relief.
As Xiao Yi became more skilled, the car continued to move forward. However, even if the airport’s grounds were vast, there was still an endpoint, and Xiao Yi was close to reaching it, another wall in front.
Seeing this, the coach reminded Xiao Yi, "If we continue driving forward, we’re going to crash again, try steering now."
"Steering?"
Xiao Yi promptly punched the steering wheel.
Coach: "???"
Following that, Xiao Yi also pressed the horn button on the steering wheel, and the car horn sounded immediately.
Xiao Yi was also startled, and said to the car: "Oops, did I hurt you? You’re shouting so loud, but it was the coach who taught me to do this! It’s not my fault, so I’m not apologizing!"
"..." The coach fell silent for a moment, then said, "I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that."
...
After that, under the meticulous guidance of the coach, Xiao Yi gradually mastered the skill of driving.
At least the car he drove moved steadily forward.
All in all, although Xiao Yi’s first day of driving lessons had its ups and downs, it nonetheless ended smoothly.
After the afternoon’s practice session, Xiao Yi dropped the coach at the airport entrance and said to him, "Coach, thank you for your hard work today. I really learned a lot. So cars are like this, I guess. Please continue to help me tomorrow."
"..." The exhausted coach replied weakly to Xiao Yi, "I... I think I better not come tomorrow."
"... Huh?" Xiao Yi was taken aback, "Why?"
"There’s no particular reason." the coach said with a pained expression: "Today made me realize my own significant shortcomings. I am not yet fit to teach others how to drive! I still need to learn more! So please find someone else! And I don’t need the money! Please don’t come looking for me again!"
With that, the coach turned to run, but before he could get away, Xiao Yi had already grabbed his shoulder.
"Coach, you can’t just give up halfway," Xiao Yi said earnestly, "Look, you’ve already taught me so much, and I’m clearly getting good at driving. Just teach me for a few more days and I’ll probably get it."
The coach looked like he was about to cry, "With your abilities, you could have anyone as your coach, or even have someone drive for you! Why do you insist on learning to drive yourself?"
"Because I have nothing else to do." Xiao Yi answered honestly.
"Ah? Nothing to do?" The coach suddenly had an idea, he said, "If you’re bored, you don’t necessarily have to learn driving. There are plenty of other things to do! Like, maybe start a romance or something!"
"Start a romance? Right, I could do that!"
Speaking of romance, Xiao Yi was actually quite intrigued. Coincidentally, on the road opposite them, a cute girl walked by.
"Then I’ll go and start a romance with her." Saying that, Xiao Yi chased after the girl.
"... Ah? Really going?" The coach was flabbergasted.
