A/N:Behold, the longer, more interesting 2nd chapter. This might be a bit harsh to some viewers but their's a reason this is rated K. Most of 4he chaptersin this story will hit at arround the 800 word mark. This is because the web doesn't have as many facts about the art as I'sd like, not Wikipedia, not Google, not Twitter, not Facebook, not anywhere. Anyway. Yay four reviews on one chapter, new record. soon. Enjoy.
Punishments, they're always going to be tough but believe me Kung fu and it's punishments are the worst. Every school and temple has it's own unique methods of punishments, here are a few, of the ones I witnessed at Lee Da Kung fu Academy while l was a janitor. And to those who will ask, no l never suffered any of the punishments below.
The Iron Bar:
This isn't technically a punishment, but believe me it is brutal. It's supposed to help you develop pain tolerance, while also giving you a nice side-dish of discipline. Most students after one rigourous session WANT to do anything their master says.
A leopard is being repeatedly hit with a metal bar.
The Deep Freeze:
This punishment is often used in winter. The student is sent outside the school into the frozen climate, usually it is so cold that you have to run around just to stay alive.
An Ox is running around all over the place, as snow falls, eventually freezing the Ox, and encasing him in ice.
The Burning Scales of Pain:
A suit of armour burnt in a kilm and put on a student for various degrees of time, this punishment is only used in extremely severe circumstances. If it goes wrong the student would end up with a permenant mask of molten metal. Or cause you to loose all the fur or feathers on your head. Ouch.
A red hot helmet is placed on a wolf's head, from outside all you hear are screams, when he emerges his face has no hair and is completely pink.
Lightning:
The specific student is sent outside in a thunder storm, wearing heavy metal armour and holding two long metal-tipped polls, while standing on the roof of a really high tower.
A deer climbs a tower. When he reaches the top a thunderstorm starts. After a while the deer is hit by lightning leaving his fur electrocuted. He then falls off the tower.
The Hunger Games:
A miniature tournament done every year, for the week in which the festival takes place no students are given food or water. They are then released into a space (forest, valley, cave system. etc.).
Five leopards charge towards an apple, they end up painfully colliding with each other. A rhino rushes forwards and grabs the apple, while continuing to run he is about to bite the apple when a hammer swings into his face. A vixen pounces for the fruit, but milimetres away a sparrow flies past and grabs the apple in it's talons. The bird stops at a river, however a net soon envelops the bird and a croc leaps from the river grabbing the food, he is about to eat it when the fruit gets kicked out of his hand, landing on the branch of a tree. The croc turns to see the vixen scratch his face with her claws. He lashes out with his tail but misses when a set of sharp teeth sink into his reptile starts shouting buthis mouth is stuffed with the net, still containing the sparrow. The vixen then promptly pushes him onto the ground, where he painfully lands on his back.
The Dummy:
A particularly badly behaved student is used as the demonstrator for the techniques, this often means that the student ends up particularly badly bruised.
A master repeatedly floors a gorrila, with different techniques.
The Cage:
The disobedient student is placed in a tiny cage (with barely enough room for them) and not let out for a specific time period.
A rhino is seen squeezing inside a cage with barely enough space for him, the doors close and the lights that previously enveloped the room now disappear and only darkness can be seen.
The Boiling Pot:
A particularly bad student is put in a large pot full of boiling hot water (or in extremely extreme cases ghee, or even worse oil) for a period of time, this is also a training method employed to teach students the art of weather and heat control (mainly for students who want to or are selected to be part of an international group who will need to know how to make their bodies adapt to the heat.
A mantis shrimp is lowered slowly into a pot of boiling and steaming water when he touches the water a scream is heard throughout Lee Da academy.
