"Come on out!" The little girl ran to the edge of the deep water area and saw that there was nothing in the water. It had been over a minute already!
"Grinny! I'm coming out," Caesar Phoenix swam quickly to the edge of the pool, lying at her feet with a pleasing smile on his face.
"Go away, I didn't ask you!" Grinny said displeased, her smile strained. She was about to cry for real this time, and with a sudden burst, she burst into tears.
"Grinny, don't cry! I won't bother you anymore," Caesar Phoenix hurriedly got out of the pool, wanting to wipe Grinny's tears away, but no matter what, she kept crying with her head up. Suddenly, she pushed Caesar Phoenix away and jumped into the pool. Like a little mermaid, her graceful swimming made the adults pale in comparison.
Barrett Walker, seeing the situation worsen, quickly jumped into the water and anxiously searched for Grinny. When he saw Grinny resurface, he breathed a sigh of relief. She stopped crying and began to cry loudly in the water. Barrett Walker was looked down upon by so many people, but fortunately, his thin skin from the past didn't show. Otherwise, he would have fled immediately. He swam to her and said, "Little girl, stop crying. This is the deep water area, very dangerous. Get out of here quickly!"
"You liar! You big liar," the little girl kicked Barrett Walker in the water, but she had no strength. Misunderstood by so many people, Barrett Walker couldn't keep calm. He quickly moved to the side, but after her crying and fussing, she felt a bit weak and suddenly cramped up. Choking on water, she sank.
As soon as Barrett Walker got ashore, he looked back for her but didn't see her. Instead, he saw people swimming towards the deep water area. The people on the shore kept shouting for help, some jumped into the water anxiously. Barrett Walker's face turned ugly instantly. Even though he didn't know her from the previous life, it didn't stop him from loving her. If something happened to this girl, Barrett Walker wouldn't be able to forgive himself in this lifetime!
With a loud splash, Barrett Walker was like a fierce shark, swimming at a speed that scared the people, making them think an aircraft carrier was coming. They hurriedly dodged! Barrett Walker's legs kept moving, and he shot down like an arrow. He saw Grinny closing her eyes and flailing her limbs, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she was still moving, that was good, but he couldn't be careless and swam towards her.
Barrett Walker hugged her, but in the next moment, he knew it was bad. She seemed to have caught a lifeline and suddenly clung tightly to Barrett Walker's neck, like a water plant entwining him. Not only was this girl mischievous, but she also had extraordinary strength. She couldn't exert much force in the water, so this was a complete tragedy. She choked and gasped for air while staring up, wondering why no one was coming to rescue her!
"Why hasn't she come out yet? Has something happened?"
"She shouldn't have, right? Isn't that Matti Jansos, the swimming prince of the 013th class?"
"Matti Jansos! Isn't he participating in the university games, training in the inner hall?"
"Oh! Then who is this person, swimming so fiercely?"

"I don't know, why are they still standing there? They haven't come out yet, something must have happened! Go down and save them!" A large group of people swam towards the deep water area again, imitating the swimming posture of the prince of the war god academy.
"Provoked!" Barrett Walker thought to himself. Suddenly, he reached back and knocked Grinny unconscious, forcefully freeing her from his neck, grabbing her braids and pulling her out of the water. As he swam towards the poolside, he felt warm knowing that if he fell into the water, someone would save him too!
After placing Grinny flat by the pool, a crowd gathered around. Caesar Phoenix was mumbling something, and Barrett Walker listened to her breathing. He heard sounds, so she must have just fainted! Barrett Walker pressed down on her chest, and she coughed up some water, waking up suddenly. She didn't seem like someone who had nearly drowned, but rather someone who was clutching her head and yelling at Barrett Walker, "You hit my head so hard! You idiot, don't you understand tender care! You jokester, you fool!"
Barrett Walker looked at her, like a little cat, and thought of his own little creature that loved to sleep. At this moment, he didn't know where it had gone. He smiled and endured the beating, saying, "It's good as long as you can move and jump! You really scared me back there."
"Hmph! You're as wooden as ever, not fun at all. You too! Go away, you didn't come to save me," the little girl said, looking at the tail of Caesar Phoenix who had followed him, pushing him away and jumping back into the pool to swim proficiently.
The crowd disbanded, leaving only an old man. Barrett Walker recognized him as the retired teacher from the war god academy, who took over the management of the outdoor gym after retiring. After the crowd had left, he approached Barrett Walker and said, "I saw how fast you were swimming just now. Would you like to join the swimming team and earn some honor?"
"This is my first time swimming, so, I'd rather not," Barrett Walker said. In the past, he had envied the war god academy's swimming team when he ran into the pool. The members had attractive appearances and figures, and it was a gathering place for handsome men and beautiful women that had attracted the attention of many students from other schools. They would play until dusk, only leaving when the lights came on. After a conflict with one of the members, Barrett Walker never returned to the pool in his previous life, despite being unwilling to start trouble. However, regardless of the previous life's cowardice, the military rank he held was not low, and he could outrun this elite group from the war god academy. Since then, Barrett Walker had never been back to the swimming pool.
"Wow! You're quite proud, aren't you?" the coach said, displeased with Barrett Walker's indifferent tone.
"I'm not proud, it's just that swimming is too simple for me. I'm born with it, so I don't want to learn," Barrett Walker said. It was true that swimming was too simple for him. On the war god mountain, every day was filled with rigorous training, from standing horse stance in the morning to running. There was no time for fun, and everything was about killing. Barrett Walker had a natural talent for these things, quickly learning and mastering each one.
"Lucy, do you know that person?" The three mothers and daughters had been watching the scene below and were surprised to see the proud old man actively recruiting this disciple. Nancy Phoenix felt that the skinny man looked familiar.
"Let me take a closer look!" Lucy Phoenix took the binoculars and carefully observed the man, trying to find something unusual. However, she just felt strange in her heart and couldn't figure out what it was. She said in confusion, "I can't figure out what's strange."
"Who is this person that can surprise my two precious daughters?" Singh Phoenix took the binoculars from Lucy and stared at the man's face, scrutinizing him. He almost stared into Barrett Walker's pores, and he commented, "Hmm! This young man is a bit thin, probably due to malnutrition, but he has a large bone structure. Once he gains some weight, I can confidently say he will have half the charm of your old man. He can be a son-in-law! So, I'll give him a score of ten, not zero!"
"Mom, you're incorrigible! A dirty old man! What are you talking about?" Hearing their mother's lecherous words, the usually fierce two daughters couldn't help but break out in a sweat. Was this really their mother!
