Oh, by the way, I'm thinking of having each and every friendly character try to help out Manta and then punishing each and every one of them. Faust is in this chapter. You'll have to wait for the next to see his punishnment though. ^_^

Please enjoy, reviews are much obliged.

Manta's path to Shamanism

Chapter 2

It was the 3rd day since Manta had begun his training. He was completely exhausted, and never even got a moments rest. However, he was about to get some help from a certain creepy doctor. Manta just got home after a long day of 15 laps around the lake and 300 pushups, AND doing chores for Anna.

Manta: I'm so tired...Hey, Mosuke-san, you have been in my laptop for some time now, are you alright?

Mosuke: *yawn* No, I'm fine, I was just napping. Anna's training is as tough as ever, huh?

Manta: Yeah...and tomorrow we start Hyoi Gattai training!

Mosuke: But how? I'm trapped in your laptop...We can only Oversoul, but that would injure you before you practised your basics.

Manta: Yeah...how can we get you out of my laptop then?

???: I know a way...

Mosuke: That voice...

Manta: It's...

Mosuke + Manta: ANNA-SAN!!!

Manta: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!?

Anna: YOU gave me a key, remember?

Manta: Uhh...GAH! I remember now...

Mosuke: But, what can you do Anna-san?

Anna: Have you forgotten I'm an itako? I can easily exorcise you.

And so, Anna Exorcised Mosuke from his laptop prison. But, this wouldn't come without some kind of a price...

Manta: You want WHAT?!?

Anna: You heard me, I want 5000 yen for my services!

Manta: 5000 yen is a bit steep, is it not? fine, here's your money...

Anna: Much obliged Manta. Show up at 6 AM tomorrow

Manta: But training doesn't usually start until 9 AM!

Anna: 5 AM then. The less you complain, the less your training schedule. You deserve it.

Mosuke: How cruel!

So, Manta went to sleep, and Mosuke was free. Early that morning, Manta went to the Funbari Onsen for training along with Mosuke and met Yoh.

Manta: Good morning Yoh. What are you up this early for? You don't need to train at all...

Yoh: Well, Anna doesn't think so. I have to train along with you!

Amidamaru: Yoh-dono...

Manta: Well, at least we can give each other moral support, right Mosuke?

Mosuke: Yes that's true, but we can't be of much help.

Amidamaru: MOSUKE!

Mosuke: AMIDAMARU!

Amidamaru + Mosuke: SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!

Amidamaru: Where have you been for the past 2 years? I thought you were in heaven!

Mosuke: Well, I got used to Manta's laptop, so it wasn't bad.

Amidamaru: Manta-dono's laptop? What's a laptop?

Manta: It's a long story Amidamaru, Mosuke will tell you all about it.

Anna: YOU'RE LATE! IT'S 5 AM!

Manta: But...you told me to come this early.

Anna: Rule # 1: ALWAYS BE EARLY FOR TRAINING! We'll start with 20 laps around the lake.

Yoh + Manta: Y-yes Anna-san...

Manta and Yoh headed off for training. After the 9th lap, both were completely exhausted. Then, Faust and Eliza were walking along the lake, and sat down on a nearby bench. Faust spotted Manta and Yoh training, and wanted to lend a hand somehow. Faust then ran alongside them and started chatting.

Yoh: *pant* Hello *pant* Faust. How are you?

Faust: Fine, but you look like you've been better

Manta: *pant* Anna's training program would *pant* drain the life out of anyone.

Faust: I went through it just fine. It didn't seem like that much...Well, anyway, I just came to tell you I've been working on a special drink that will help you restore some of your energy very quickly.

Manta: Well, I don't want to be addicted to anything so...

Faust: It's completely free of risk of becoming addicted. just quick natural energy.

Yoh: Sounds good! I hope you finish it soon.

Faust: I already have some with me. Eliza?

Oooh, is that the plot thickening I smell? What has Faust got in his coat? Will it help Yoh and Manta with their training? HOW WILL ANNA REACT?!

I know the answers. But I'm not telling you. ^_^

You'll just have to wait till my next chapter. AND NOW FOR SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING!
