I've just decided that I want to hit back to the Rebellion. I'm still working on the goals, and I have time, considering the time I'll need to heal from my injuries suffered in the Krav Maga Exam. I'll think of something, I bet.

"Don't stop now, it's only the beginning." The same voice greets me. I no longer become alarmed, for I know who it is. Instead I smile, because I know that his thoughts are in perfect synchronization with mine. And I longed for their voices. And then I heard it. The Shadows and Silence were calling again. And the time had again come, for me to push beyond the veil of the normal, beyond the 'okay' and 'good enough'. And there was no room for excuses, because my personal experience has proven that I can do it. Where there was once a time when I had thought that I'd always be that fat but weak boy, now I know the truth to be otherwise. I know that I can do it. In fact, as I have realized, I can do it better. MAIN QUEST: Embrace the Shadows and Silence 1. Strength Workout (An assassin is strong and fit) This one's pretty self explanatory. There are, however, a few changes to the Strength Training Plan. For week 1 & 2: Sunday Standard Pushups Squats Tricep Dips Plank Pull ups Tuesday Alternative Shuffle Pushups Lunges Tricep Dips Leg Lifts Pull up Thursday Diamond Pushup Wall Sit Tricep Dips Crunches Pull up I'll also start counting my week from Saturday, because that is easy for me to keep track. That means I'll post my first update before the challenge officially starts. I don't really think anyone will have an objection with that. Reward: |STR 2|STA 2|CON 1| 2. Learn Parkour (An assassin always finds his way through the obstacles) The previous challenge on this part went pretty well, but Judo Rolls and jumping up the stairs is just a means to an end. I've yet to reach the final destination. So for this time I have: Jumping the seventh step of the stair Perfection of Judo Rolls Try stuff at the roof Reward: |STR 1| DEX 1| STA 1| CON 1| 3. Complete the Krav Maga course (An assassin does not get beat up by his opponents, rather the opposite) This one is directly from the previous challenge. Previously, I had not marked on this because I had not actually completed the course. The course runs for two months, so obviously I couldn't. Anyway, this time, since half the course is completed, the other half is just lurking around the corner. I'm already half deadly, but without the other half I'm incomplete. Reward: |STR 1|DEX 1|CON 1|CHA 1| LIFE SIDE QUESTS: Start practicing the voice again |CHA 1| I'm quite 'fluent' with the guitar now, but due to laziness and uneasiness, I did not practice singing during the last challenge. Study |WIS 1| Four days a week for one hour during the vacation. Five days a week for two hours otherwise.

Chapter One: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/48223-hand-of-justice/ A voice, like the whisper of the wind on a stormy night, asked from the corner, "Is that all?" What! Who? I looked around the dark room searching for the owner of the voice. But there was no one in sight. Yet I know who it was. The Shadows and Silence were calling again. I had tried, but I was still fat. Yet I had not failed, for I could see the muscles beneath the thinning layer of fat. And for once, I knew what to do, where to go. For once, there is actually a way! A jolt of excitement passed through, as I felt a familiar confidence rush through my veins. It was time to step it up, I decided. This time, I knew I would be capable. I looked at the room again, to find the Shadows staring at me; their eyes amused, but not disappointed. I whispered, so that only the Silence may hear me say, "I shall not let you down." MAIN QUEST: Embrace the Shadows and Silence 1. Continue and develop the practices started in the first challenge (An assassin is strong and fit) That would mean: Mostly-Paleo DietStrength TrainingInterval TrainingBuilding MuscleBurning FatGetting FasterBonus: Pull Ups (First time)Reward: |STR 1|STA 1|CON 1| and for the Bonus: |STR 1| 2. Learn Parkour (An assassin always finds his way through the obstacles) It had been originally a goal in the first challenge, but I had started late and my O'Level exams were going on so I decided to postpone it. Well excuses, I have one thing to say to you this time. YOU SHALL NOT PASS! For starters, I'll be following Dakao's guide, which means jumping stairs for now. Add Judo Rolls to that! Reward: |STR 1| DEX 1| STA 1| CON 1| 3. Learn a Martial Art (An assassin does not get beat up by his opponents, rather the opposite) The available options to me are Karate and Krav Maga, While I am inclined towards the latter, I will have to go for the one that is most practically possible at the present moment. In the end, it shouldn't be much of a problem for me because I am fascinated by both. Reward: |STR 1|DEX 1|CON 1|CHA 1| LIFE SIDE QUESTS: Start practicing the guitar and voice again |CHA 1| Yeah, I used the same O'Levels excuse to abandon these things. Well, no more, I say! Do not abandon studies in the vacation |WIS 1| I pretty much tend to do that every summer, to counter that I will study for at least one hour a day, and four days a week, and by that I mean academic books not fiction. Start swimming (and continue that) |STR 1| Not really sure how much possible it is, which is why it is in the life side quests. But I will try to go to swim three times per week.
