Chapter 5. Four years later...
Four years have passed since I entered the Celestial sect. During that time, no matter how hard I tried, I was never able to make my way as a junior disciple. I've had 3 roommates in that time who went from servant to junior apprentice. And I stayed here. There was even a nickname - loser. Yes, there were those who stayed like me, servants, but they had already given up on meditation and training. They only sell their pills for healing pills to send back to their relatives. During this time Ai rose to warrior 3. She helped me all this time by giving me one or two pills at a time. I guess if she hadn't, she would have been a warrior a long time ago instead of 2 years ago. It is said that many masters want her as a personal apprentice and even the elders look up to her.
And my first roommate already left after 3 months to become a junior apprentice. And now he is my personal nightmare. I hide the pills as best I can, but several times he still took them away. Only he beats me, he knows the bastard knows that I won't tell anyone, and he takes advantage of that. And who would I tell? I ain't got nobody here but Ai. And it's embarrassing to tell her. I'm a Pomeranian, I know a lot of martial arts, I have a good memory, but what's the use? He takes by force, and I can't do anything against the apprentice. I can fight the younger apprentices, that's all. I think Master Jiao is getting back at me. I had an incident with him when I turned him down.
It happened three years ago. I trained in taekwondo and karate. I was training different stance, to hit properly, and at the same time I was training myself, my muscles will not appear from this, but my flexibility, and some tendons will be toned. And so when I was training they called me.
- Servant, come here.
- You called, master?
- Yes. What training have you been doing?
- It was just pampering, Master.
- And what do you call this pampering?
- I call my martial art taekwondo.
- Hmm, taekwondo means? Show me your training.
- As you say, master.
I started my normal training, only I didn't show the techniques. What for? He'll steal it later. He'll say he made it up. It's obvious. Yes, I've seen their martial arts here, and frankly they only rely on strength, and they don't care about flexibility. They're strong and fast, so they're invincible. They just hit for sure and that's it. Their arts are like karate only they use their hands. And I remember jiu-jitsu, boxing, muay Thai, taekwondo and other martial arts. It's a pity I wasn't interested in sambo back then. And even without it I have a lot of tricks.
- All right, Yong, get out.
- Yes, master.
- Servant, if you beat him, I'll give you 3 high class pills.
Wow. I've never even seen those before, I've only heard of them. There are ordinary pills we get. The special ones that warriors get and the higher ones that masters get. There's also some, like divine pills, but not many people get them. They say that only emperors use them.
- As you say, master.
The younger apprentice looked at me like I was an insect, clearly he was twice as strong as me, and he was 11 or 12 years old. And I'm only 8, we stood against each other, and I took the usual stance, the master gave the wave and he immediately approached and kicked. Yeah, and he's really fast, barely kept track of the movement, if I hadn't put a block, obviously the fight would have been over. I flew off a little bit, but I didn't fall down.
- Master, I'm going to kill him by accident. Don't you feel sorry for your servant?
- Kill him if he can't even take a punch.
I don't want to die. He moved quickly and approached, hitting my arm straight as if I were a tree. It was hard, but I managed to get away from the attack and took advantage of his shock to elbow him in the nose. The weakest place of a man is his face and especially his nose, except for his balls of course... I hit him in the nose and sharply turned around with my other hand and elbowed him in the nose again. Wow, I broke his nose and turned it into mincemeat. Twice in the same place - that must have hurt oh so much....
- STOP.
- Yes Mr. Master.
- Here are your three pills.
- Thank you, master
- You're welcome, ha-ha-ha, you're welcome. From tomorrow you will teach my apprentice your art, ha-ha-ha.
- That's impossible, master.
What do you mean, impossible? Have you forgotten your place, servant?
- I have not, master.
- Then you will teach my apprentice.
- That is impossible, Master Master.
- What is it?
- Forgive me, Master, but this is my personal art.
- Master, why are you treating him so politely? Throw him out, he'll come running in a few days and tell you everything he's been teaching.
- Apprentice, you're wrong. Only the elders have the right to throw someone out, but it's okay, he'll teach you,
I didn't say anything, I just stood there and listened. Since then I have been beaten by my former neighbor and sometimes with friends. They threatened me, they even beat me several times, the older students refused to give me pills. And even now they only give me 1 pill a month to show them all the martial arts I invented. At first, when they beat me, I didn't understand why. Yes, and a former neighbor came alone, then he was a junior apprentice so I beat him without thinking about anything, but who knew that this is just the beginning and I was being watched? After that, the beatings and bullying only increased. Kids look up to their elders and do what they do. That's why I have such a nickname and not many people tolerate me. They don't give much food in the kitchen, they make me do laundry even in my underpants. So I have to put up with a lot, and it is clear that this master does not want me to become a junior apprentice. I have to put up with a lot, and it's clear that this master does not want me to go to a junior apprentice. There is not much to hurt me then, yes, you can give me pills, you can beat me, but it's okay my nightmare is that I clean the students rooms and laundry after them, what they invented, shitting in bed and forced them to wash, wash their underwear, sometimes with sperm. In short, life is a cunt, but we have to endure, I do not even know what's what. So we endure and endure. I still keep the higher pills to pass in the younger students, but I do not feel that it is close so I am waiting for the time when they can be used...
