章節 10: Training [1]

Ren lay on his bed, deep in thought. "For now that everything is settled, I should learn about what kind of world I'm in," he muttered to himself. "The only thing I know right now is that I'm definitely in the Big Hero 6 universe because of Tadashi and Hiro, but in that universe, there aren't supposed to be heroes except for them."

Determined to find out more, Ren sat up from the bed and moved to his computer. He went online and started to look for information regarding his current predicament.

It didn't take long before Ren stumbled upon a plethora of news articles and reports. One article caught his attention immediately: it detailed a recent fight between Metro Man and Megamind. His eyes widened as he read further, discovering information about the new warden of Metro City's prison for criminally gifted people and a bizarre event where the moon was gone for a day.

"Metro Man and Megamind!?, why are they here?" Ren exclaimed in disbelief. He continued reading, finding numerous articles that mentioned the 'NSA,' the 'Supers relocation program,' and the 'glory days' of superheroes.

He found an article that delved into what happened to the heroes after the glory days. It explained how all superheroes were forced into hiding when the public began to sue them for damages caused by crime-fighting. The Supers were granted amnesty from responsibilities for past actions in exchange for promising never to resume hero work.

Ren also stumbled upon articles about major corporations like KreiTech, Insuricare, and even DevTech, whose CEO was Winston Deavor. Each piece of information added to his growing confusion.

The final straw was an article about the previous king of England: it was Bob from the Minions. "What the hell?! Where in the fucking universe am I?" Ren exclaimed in shock.

Wanting to know more, Ren watched a video of Bob's speech on YouTube. The scene was surreal.

Bob: (Testing) "Salibalago? Una deu, una deu."

Silence~

Audience: "KING BOB!"

The audience cheered.

Bob: "No no, kamo perolalosi, meredite, nokolapati pob lakino... (pfft!) ...lapa lamakine pukete. PERO NO! Labi bibap, nure barata, papu tabushi..." (Suddenly laughing)

Stuart: "Le buji!" (Mimicking, then laughing with Kevin)

Bob: "So... instoo meradantere, la pate, yes ki giban, PATUTEE!" (Only a few audience members clapped or responded) (Turns around) "Molla?..." (Looks back) "KING BOB!" (Audience cheers again; Bob drops the microphone and leaves the balcony)

As Ren watched this bizarre scene, he had one thought. "I don't fucking understand Minionese."

Ren leaned back in his chair, overwhelmed. "Okay, so I'm in some sort of hybrid universe where characters from different animated movies coexist. How does this even work?" He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts. "I should get some sleep for now"

Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!

The blaring sound of the alarm clock disrupted the quiet room, signaling the start of a new day. Ren sluggishly sat up, blinking away the remnants of sleep. "Time to get moving," he mumbled to himself.

Dragging himself out of bed, he made his way to the bathroom. The cool water splashing onto his face brought a sense of wakefulness, and the shower rejuvenated his senses.

Emerging from the bathroom, Ren dried off and exchanged his sleepwear for comfortable gym clothes. Adjusting the fit, he couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. 'A new day for a new chapter of my life.' he thought.

With purposeful steps, he exited the room, ready to face the challenges of the day.

Heading downstairs to the lobby, he found an agent waiting for him. "Good morning. Here's your schedule for the day. Follow it closely, and make the most of your training," the agent instructed, handing him the detailed plan.

"Thank you," Ren replied, as he looked at the neatly printed schedule that was given to him. He scanned through the list of activities planned for the day – a mix of superpower training, combat exercises, and skill refinement.

"The scientists have tailored this program to address specific aspects of your abilities. Follow it diligently, and you'll see progress," the agent added, offering a supportive nod.

Following the directions on the schedule, Ren made his way to the martial arts room. The hum of activity within the facility fueled his excitement as he prepared for the day of his training.

Entering the Martial Arts room, the Ren found a martial instructor waiting, accompanied by a group of teenagers in their gym clothes. The instructor motioned for them to sit on the mats. Ren joined the circle of supers-in-training, feeling a blend of excitement and curiosity.

As they settled, a teenager beside him leaned in and whispered, "New here?" Ren nodded, and the teenager grinned, introducing himself. "I'm Tom. Glad to meet ya."

"Likewise," Ren replied with a friendly smile.

The instructor took center stage, addressing the group."Welcome, everyone. Today, we'll focus on the basics of martial arts," The group of teenagers nodded attentively, and Ren listened, eager to absorb the knowledge.

"First things first, observe the proper stance," the instructor began, demonstrating the stance. "Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. This is your foundation for balance and control."

As the instructor spoke, Ren, taking mental notes, mimicked the stance along with the other. Adjusting to the nuances of the martial arts posture.

"Now, let's talk about the punch," the instructor continued, throwing a controlled punch to illustrate. "Engage your core, rotate your hips, and extend your arm. Power comes from technique, not just strength." The instructort explained the mechanics and emphasizing the importance of accuracy.

Ren, surrounded by his peers, immersed himself in the lesson, noting the precision in each movement.

"Your turn. Practice these moves with focus and control," the instructor instructed, encouraging the supers to mimic the demonstrated techniques.

Ren took a deep breath, positioning himself on the mat. Closing his eyes, he recalled the instructor's teachings – the proper stance, the alignment of each punch. At first, his attempts were a bit shaky, the movements uncertain, his initial attempts were met with uncertainty and a sense of bafflement.

In the midst of the struggle, a sudden shock of realization swept over him. It was as if a veil had been lifted, revealing a newfound understanding. A surge of enlightenment washed over him, and as if guided by an unseen force, he effortlessly assumed the basic stances with a newfound precision.

*Snap!*

His body moved with a fluidity that seemed almost otherworldly, seamlessly transitioning between stances with each calculated movement. As the instructor called for punches, the young man threw a series of punches into the air, the movements now carrying a distinct grace and purpose.

*Crack!*

The onomatopoeic sounds echoed in the Martial Arts room, capturing the attention of both the instructor and fellow students.

*Whoosh!*

The air seemed to respond to his movements as he continued, the enlightenment evolving into a demonstration of not just physical prowess but a harmonious blend of newfound knowledge and innate ability.

As Ren embraced the heightened state of enlightenment, seamlessly flowing through martial arts stances and delivering precise punches, there came a moment of abrupt transition. The heightened clarity seemed to waver, and he suddenly broke out of his trance state.

Stopping mid-motion, Ren blinked, a sense of shock and realization washing over him. The room, once resonating with the sounds of his fluid movements, now fell into an abrupt silence. His fellow students and the instructor looked on, mirroring the astonishment that played across the young man's face.

He took a step back, the echoes of his punches and kicks lingering in the air. The sudden demonstration of skill, seemingly beyond his current training level, left him in a state of disbelief. "Did I just...?" he muttered to himself, his eyes wide with surprise.

The instructor, recognizing the shift in the atmosphere, approached with a nod of acknowledgment. "Impressive. It seems you're tapping into your abilities in ways we're still trying to understand," the instructor remarked, offering a reassuring smile. The instructor then circulated among the students to guide them leaving the young man in a trance.

Peter was bitten by a mystical spider. The spider linked Peter to the totem energy of ancient spiders, saving his life and granting him powers, but also shattering his mind into four separate personalities. Peter initially tried to silence the voices in his head, but eventually decided to listen to them, allowing each to regularly take control of his body and essentially compartmentalize his life.]
