Chereads / God of MMA (Dropped) / Chapter 17 - Recovery

Chapter 17 - Recovery

Leo left the school after grabbing his backpack. He was proud of himself for winning the fight and saw his progress. The only downside was how he didn't get a quest from the system. Leo knew almost nothing about the system or how the quests work, but that was something he would ponder over another time.

"Hopefully coach doesn't get mad about this.." Leo said.

"It should be fine because of my higher recovery rate and potions I can get." Leo thought.

Leo entered the gym and went to his coachs office. And briefed him about what had happened.

"Boy, I don't remember telling you to fight outside the gym." He exclaimed.

"Sorry" Leo said as be bowed to his coach.

"Nevermind that show me you're bruised arms and knuckles now." He said.

Leo obeyed and showed the injuries to the coach.

"Should be gone in a month so don't come here to train until then." The coach said while looking at Leo.

"What if I recover faster?" Leo asked.

"If you do, come back and show me" He said with a laughing face.

The coach explained the risks of fighting without protection.

"What makes a fighter a fighter?" the coach asked Leo.

"I don't know a weapon?" Leo replied.

"Exactly, you can't fight without you're fists." He explained.

"You can get lifetime nerve damage and pain. This can end you're career. So I hope you don't do anything foolish again." He said while holding Leo's knuckles.

Leo then walked out of the gym when,

Ding..

[Quest: knuckle conditioning]

Requirement: 2000 Rice knuckle twists, 500 knuckle push-ups, 1 hour knuckle plank hold.

Rewards: 70% stronger knuckles, title and 500 points.

"This is amazing." Leo thought to himself.

His punches would hit like a hammer and his risk for injury would be lower. Which was great news for Leo.

Leo then returned home wrapped with bandages around his knuckles which his uncle would notice.

"What happened with you're knuckles?" He asked.

"Don't worry I'm just conditioning them, my coach told me it would help."

"Alright but tell me if you need help I'm always on you're side." Robert replied.

"Thanks unc" Leo said before going into his room.

The next day was horrible for Leo. His knuckles had severe arthritis, it made his knuckles swell up and cause frequent pain. His only option was to do a ice bath for his knuckles to relive it.

7 days later..

After a week of recovering his knuckles he could feel more strength from them. They where almost fully recovered and had now gained more strength. He still did his daily quests with difficulty, all the pain went away when he listened to music for some reason.

Leo then decided to return to the gym.

"What are you doing here? I'm sure I told you to recover for 2 more weeks." He said.

"Coach I have already recovered" Leo said with smile.

"In my ass that you've recovered" He said while going to Leo.

"Huh?? What is this? It's only been a week" He thought to himself.

"Boy, you have quite the recovery speed I must say.." He said while trying to cover his flabbergasted face.

"Alright I will permit you to train again. But now we will dive into the art of wrestling."

"Finally" Leo said with a excited smile.

Leo opened his Wrestling Proficiency window.

----

[Wrestling]

Proficiency F- 0%

"Huh there's no skills? Thats strange" Leo thought

"Alright, do you know anything about Wrestling boy?" Coach said.

"No.." Leo said.

"This will be a tuff ride" He thought.
