Hot Buns (Part 2)

--- Mitch's Room ---

"Ugh. My head. Where am I?" Hot Buns slowly opened his eyes as he tried to remember what happened to him before losing his consciousness. After a moment of thinking, he remembered Felix and that stupid face of his and wanted to get up. The moment he did, he realized that he was in a strange place.

He saw himself within some kind of gazebo. As for his surroundings, it was really refreshing to look at. It looked like as if he was in the plains, and behind him was a small pond.

Just as he was trying to look around if there is something else he missed, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Hey, you finally awake?"

Mitch was currently wearing a tiny suit of iron armor that perfectly fit his childlike body.

"Yup. Wait... It's you! You're the Elder from that time at the testing hall! The kid back then!" Hot Buns suddenly remembered that Mitch was the kid who was with the Elders back then when they were getting tested at the testing hall.

Mitch did not know what was going on with Hot Buns' mind and just chuckled. After that, he said, "Well, it's a good thing you're awake and kicking again. By the way, when you were unconscious, I took the liberty of looking into your background. Sorry for that."

"Umm... okay..."

Hot Buns did not know the reason why, but he suddenly felt something special was going to happen.

"Mind if I call you Buns?"

Hot Buns nodded.

"Alright. Go ahead and equip those Brawler Bandages you have. Let me see how far you've come in your Brawler Class."

Hearing that he will be observed by an Elder, Hot Buns got really excited. So he stood up really fast, took out the bandages he got from Bolin and wrapped it on his hands. After that, Mitch gestured him to go to the open field and just perform all of the skills he had. So Hot Buns went all out and exclaimed as he performed skill after skill.

Multi Punch!

Whirlwind Kick!

Wind Disciple!

Drunken Rage Smash!

Headbutt!

Double Jump!

...

After performing those skills, Hot Buns just performed different combos with the different skills to make it look like he was doing something else. Seeing as such, Mitch stopped him and started talking.

"Not bad. But your tier 4 skills, the Wind Disciple and Drunken Rage Smash, you relied on external help to perform them. So in short, you are just a Tier 2 Brawler. Is that correct?"

Hot Buns nodded.

"(Principal Magnus told us to also give Jay's friends special treatment right?) Alright then. Before we continue, I will teach you a cheat to immediately jump ranks. You will immediately become a 5th Tier Brawler if you do this cheat that I will let you do."

Hot Buns suddenly got thrilled and excited when he heard the part '5th tier'.

"Woah! No way! I wonder how everyone else is faring right now! Hahaha!!!"

Just as he was celebrating deep within his mind, Mitch suddenly took out a thin book of average size and handed it to Hot Buns. It had a soft cover and was entitled 'Mitch's Training Regiment Vol.1'

"Perform everything in that book to the letter. Perform every action perfectly just like the illustrations or words used to describe whatever is written there. You will have no breaks nor sleep until you complete all of that. If you ever get tired, pop one of these in your mouth."

Mitch handed over a yellow ball-shaped pill to Hot Buns.

"Elder, may I ask what this pill is?"

Mitch laughed a bit and replied "That right there, I believe you already drank it in its liquid form. But as for that, the flavor and energy within it is too concentrated so you may not be able to feel pain and fatigue for a week. In return, after the effects of the pill ends, you will lose control of your body for an entire day. So, good luck. Go ahead and use this room to train. I still have some other matters to deal with for the day."

Mitch left Hot Buns before he even had a chance to ask questions.

"Okay then. (Well, this is nice. Having special treatment. Woohoo! Can't wait to become a tier 5 Brawler!)"

After thinking of that, Hot Buns opened the book and looked at the first page. The moment he read it, his smiles and happiness turned into sadness as he read the first line written on it.

~~ Mitch's Training Regiment Vol.1

First thing first, do some warm ups.

- Jump 100 times

- Double Jump 200 times

- Do 1000 stretches of whatever you want to stretch in your body

- Run around a room for 10 hours

After your warm ups, perform these skills within:

3 seconds:

- 500 Multi Punches or 500 Whirlwind Kicks

1 second

- 100 Multi Punches or 100 Whirlwind Kicks

.1 second

- 10 Multi Punches or 10 Whirlwind Kicks

After that first set of skills...

~~

It just went on and on with the impossible tasks. The only possible one of them was probably the warm up. And as Hot Buns continued reading the rest of the book, he found out that the skills he needed to perform within a few seconds went up from 2nd tier skills and so on.

As for the final page of the book, it was probably the most impossible of them all.

~~

After doing all of that, try defeating me (Mitch), the author of this training manual by only using the stuff you learned on the first page.

~~

"Screw it. Might as well give it a shot and start."

Hot Buns knew that this opportunity will only happen one time so he started attempting the instructions on the manual.
