-Try again!-
-Try again!-
-Try again!-
...
"God damn it!" Chris fell down onto the floor and started to scream his lungs out.
"How the fuck am I going to spring 2 miles in 5 minutes. It's impossible! It's too much. If you're talking about 1 mile, I could do it in 4 minutes, but 2 miles is just way too much since I have to sprint extremely fast constantly,"
After a couple minutes of rest, Chris stood back up.
"You know what, I give up. I'll work on the side jumps,"
As soon as Chris said those words, the one horizontal line turned into two vertical lines next to Chris. They were around 3 feet long and were wide enough to fit Chris' feet.
-Update mission: Do 100 side jumps on the right and left side in 2 minutes.-
"What?!" Chris exclaimed. As Chris was about to say something, he heard a gunshot. He quickly started to do the side jumps and on his first one, his feet went a bit outside the line.
-Try again!-
"What? I'm doing the side jumps," Chris said.
-Host's foot must not touch outside the line. The point of the side jumps is to be accurate in the landing.-
"Oh goodness," Chris said as he positioned himself to start again. The gunshot rang once more and Chris started to do the side jumps at incredible speed. However...
-Try again!-
-Try again!-
-Try again!-
-Try again!-
...
Chris once again fell onto the floor defeated.
"Ha.... This is my 10th try on this..."
Chris heard the dreaded gunshot and started.
Once again, he realized that his foot stepped out of the line.
-Try again!-
'Hmmm... I think I concentrated on the time limit portion too much. I went too fast... I'll go slow this time,' Chris thought as he got ready. When he heard the gunshot, Chris smiled.

"Did I... Did I do it?" Chris asked with a huge smile on his face.
-Try again!-
"FUCK!" Chris screamed. "What was the time on that one?"
-2 minutes and 30 seconds.
"That's way too much overtime," Chris said with a frown. "Alright, System, starting from this try, tell me the time for every try,"
-Yes.-
Chris rested for a bit and after a couple minutes he stood up to start once again.
-Try again! 2 minutes and 28 seconds.-
...
-Try again! 2 minutes and 20 seconds.-
...
-Try again! 2 minutes and 10 seconds.-
....
-Try again! 2 minutes and 5 seconds.-
...
On the 20th try, Chris finally felt relief fill his body.
-Congratulations! Host has succeeded!-
"Oh finally! System how much time do I have left in here?
-Host has 2 hours and 2 minutes left in the training room.-
"That's enough time for this," Chris said to himself as the two vertical lines once again changed into the vertical line.
"2 miles in 5 minutes... I got this," Chris encouraged himself as he got ready in running position. The gunshot rang and Chris ran. However, the 2 mile run did not end as Chris wanted it to be.
-Try again! 6 minutes!-
"Dang... doing a mile in 2 minutes and 30 seconds is still extremely difficult... I think I might need some pills. System give me 30 Body Improvement Pills. No confirmation needed,"
-Host has now bought his 50th Body Improvement Pill. Host now has 164,418 Hacker Points. As Host has been growing at a much faster pace than the System has predicted, all pills and potions in the level 1 section now cost 50x more than before and all pills and potions in the level 2 section aside from the quest items cost 5x more than before. Furthermore, a Body Improvement Pill will now cost 7,000 Hacker Points per pill-
...
"What? Are you serious?!" Chris screamed out once again. "50x more. That means that a single Facial Improvement Pill is 5000 Hacker Points now!"
-Host, you gain tens of thousands of Hacker Points from a mission. A mere 5000 hacker points is nothing at this point.-
'Tch,'
Chris ate all 20 Body Improvement Pills. Unlike before, his body did not react as strongly as before.
"AHHHHH!" Chris screamed out in comfort as if he had gotten a massage from the best masseur. After he stretched a little, he got ready.
'Since it's only 30 seconds per mile that I need to catch up on, these 30 pills should be enough for this,'
Bang!
When Chris heard the gunshot, he sprinted as fast as he could.
His body felt much lighter than before and he felt like he was gliding instead of running.
When Chris stopped in front of the white line that appeared in front of him, he almost cried tears of joy.
-Congratulations. Host has ran 2 miles in 4 minutes and 50 seconds.-
"Hallelujah! 10 seconds to spare too!" Chris shouted as he started to jump.
-Host has finished the Foundation Movement Technique Phase 1.-
As the notification came, Chris felt like he could fly.
"I feel so light..." Chris started to run and surprisingly he started to run twice as fast as before.
"This speed and the precision of each step. If this is only the foundation technique, how will the more complex movement speed be?" Chris asked to himself as he left the training room.

Here's to another chapter. There's going to be a bit more stuff on training so please hold on!
