chapter 2
When Jaune came to himself, he expected many thing , from still being trapped in that weird space to having came back to beacon. But never once did he expect that he'll wake up in a black void.
[Congratulation JAUNE ARC having finally making it out from Lv 1 Grimm Challenge. ]
Jaune Heard a deep voice, knowing he will explain about where he was or what was happening to him Jaune made sure to listen well.

[You are Bound to do a New challenge or difficulty at least once a week, every time you Pass a challenge , you will be rewarded on how great your performance was . Do not expect the same generous rewards as the ones you got for your 'Beginner package' if you don't do well. ]
Just as the voice finished New memories appeared in Jaune's mind, It was like remembering something he forgot, something he already had before .
[You can come to the 'challenges Hall' if you meditate while thinking : 'Challenges Hall'. ]
[ You can repeat any challenge if you wish so , you might or you might not get a reward from doing so. ]

[ You will now wake up at the place you went to sleep before going to the 'Challenges Hall' , Be sure to train well for your next challenge. ]
[ Farewell JAUNE ARC . Until next time. ]
Jaune lost his consciousness just as the voice finished.
----------
The first thing Jaune saw when he opened his eyes was the roof of his dorm.Looking around Jaune found his teammates and friends sleeping he couldn't help but let out breath of relief and smile at that.
"Oh thank God" Jaune said before checking his scroll , and seeing that it was still 4:20 in the morning Jaune had to choose between going back to sleep or doing something else.
"That Voice told me I am forced to take a challenge at least once a week, If I don't wanna do as bad as I did in the first one, I better use every second I have training before going back." Jaune said to himself before changing to his training outfit and going for a quick jog.
After half an hour of tuning Jaune went to the rooftop where he usually trained with Pyrrha, and sat in a meditating position.
"Let's see, Ki is both an energy innate to all living beings and an energy that exist in nature, like the trees and rocks and the air. from the knowledge I got from that voice, a healthy body produces more ki, meaning the strongest the body the the more ki you have".
"It's the combination of three flows in the body: the blood flow, the breathing flow and the nervous system flow. By synchronizing them and making them behave in a specific way you can direct the flow of ki, pass it through your ki pathways in the body and gather it on your ki center that rests in your navel in order to use it later. The more ki you gather in your navel, the stronger your overall ki levels will become. this is the 'ki cultivation'."
Jaune then Begun changing his blood flow slowly, thanks to the memories from the voice it was quite the easy task.
"Now for the tricky part , making the blood behave the specific way necessary for ki flows. For I have to use use the Basic breathing technique in order to both regulate the breath flow and the blood flow. The harder part however is the nerves flow. It's not enough that you can use the breathing techniques correctly, you need to synchronize your nerves flow, or as some say, you have to possess the right 'intent' when performing the exercises and for that meditation is necessary. However even that is easy as I have the 'Kwon Bi Young Ki accumulation method unique' that use the stepping technique to accumulate ki , wich in itself need some crazy neves control that it makes regulating the blood and breath control a child play , I'm sure that without the memories it would have taking me years just to master it. "
As soon as Jaune got hold of his Ki , he begun circulating it in his body, he can feel his ki flow through his distribution channels , strengthening his body and slowly but surely expanding his meridians.
"Amazing"Seeing the effects that his Ki bought to his body Jaune couldn't help but feel amazed.
'Should I try to link my aura with my Ki and see what happens ? I know it's dangerous but something tells me I should at least try it. ' and as soon as Jaune did that , he felt an explosive rise in his power so much that the tiles all cracked without even letting half of his aura out. But he knows he can't stay like this for too long he can feel his control over aura and ki going out of control every passing second.
as soon as he let go of that state , he began checking his body for any injuries. and he did find most of muscles strained and some of his meridians slightly damaged. Seeing that Jaune immediately used his semblance and thanked his lucky stars that it healed eve his meridians.
"Man that was a close call , I shouldn't do that till I gain a Better breathing technique. Hell even 'Kwon Bi Young Ki accumulation method unique' will grow stronger if I got a better breathing technique. I'll see if I can get one in the 'Challenges Hall' as I'm going there whether I like it or not, might as well go with my constant. " Said Jaune as he released a his breath.
'Well it's saturday , I don't have to wake the guys early today might as well give them more time sleeping while I train.' Jaune thought to himself.
"Wait the voice said that I can enter the 'Challenges Hall' whenever I want , and I'm pretty sure time there pass in different scale then reality. I can use that place to train my skills while I train my body here in real life." as soon as Jaune said that , he sat in a meditative position and began thinking about 'challenges hall' the next thing he knows he was in the same black void he was in not even two hours ago.
"It's called 'Challenges Hall' ,but I don't see any hall, only a black void and some bubbles , wait bubbles !?" exclaimed Jaune as he noticed some big Bubbles that has appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as Jaune drew closer at them, he couldn't help but be surprised again. Each and every bubble have the image of a small world inside, while some kind description beneath each one.
"I see so those are the challenges I can take. Every bubble Represent a different Challenge with differents difficulties or levels, Just Like a video game." Jaune thought to himself before he chose the Grimm Lv 1 Challenge.
In a blink of an eye , Jaune found himself in that environment that he grew to hate the last time he was there.
And not a minute later ,a grimm appeared out of nowhere.
"Let's see , First we have {Reinforcement Technique}: A Ki Technique that allows the one to make their body harder than even steel, with his level of Ki he still needs some training to make his entire body hard as steel or he can distribute his Ki to some part of his body making it even harder to either increase his defence or make his attack more destructive especially when used in conjunction with other techniques.." as Jaune says that He deactivated his aura shield and use the technique from his memories.
As soon as Jaune uses the {Reinforcement Technique}, the beowulf lunges with a claw strike . Jaune just raise his hand and caught the the beowulf strike easely, and just just like that Jaune used Back Hand strike to crash the beowulf head Killing it instataly. soon after two new Beowulf's begun to appeared out of thin air.
"Now let's see Light Foot Technique: A Ki technique that allow kwon to significantly increase his speed and mobility, the level of Ki utilization determine how fast the user can go, though one can be specialized in one of these technique which give them an edge in that department." As soon as Jaune said that he used the technique and appeared between the just spawned Grimm before cutting both of their head with a reverse knife hand strikes.
" I always wanted to do that" Said Jaune with a grin as he stared at the new four appearing Grimm.
" Now let's use the {Strengthening Technique}: This allow the person using it to significantly increase his physical strength and attack power, like all the fundamental technique the strength or attack potency depends on level of Ki utilization."
Strengthening his body to the max he rushed at the four beowulf before attacking the four with quick but strong punches destroying their body entirely.
"Man with this I can easily kill those mutant bastards no need to use my semblance against them anymore." Looking at the evaporating grimm body Jaune couldn't help but exclaim.
"I don't think I'll use any advanced Ki technique right now till I thoroughly mastered the basic ones and can use them all at the same time. Now let's stop playing around and get serious , I don't wanna die against these Grimms Again Just because I got cocky, after all as my Grandpa used to tell me ' when in field Leave your pride, ego, and narcissism somewhere else. They've been the downfall of many great men '." With that Jaune got into position and waited for the first grimm to attack.
----------
{ You have received "Advanced martial arts techniques" }
That's the first thing Jaune saw when he went back to the black void or the Hall as the voice call it. before he know it memories began ruching into his mind, giving him more martial arts knowledge than he already had.
"It looks like all my mental tiredness disappeared once I finished the challenge. Just like when I died inside !"Jaune was really amazed by that, He clearly knows that if the Hall didn't restore his mental stamina everytime he died inside the challenge , he might have already turned crazy .
"So, How do I get out of here ? do I just meditate and think of getting out ? " Jaune said jokingly before doing just that as he didn't have anything else to do, and to his happiness he was out again.
" Great , now let's compare time between reality and the hall. took me only three hours to finish the challenge this time , I wonder how much time is that in reality." Jaune smiled happily at that , he was getting stronger at a crazy pace.
"Now let see how much time has passed since I was inside ." Looking at his scroll Jaune grown even more happier.
"Only 18 minutes has passed since I began meditating. Not as much as the first time, I'm sure the time was almost frozen outside the hall but I guess that too was part of 'the beginner package' as the voice had told me. But to think there will be a 10 times difference between inside and outside, this is really miraculous. "
"Guess I can still go in some times before I go wake Pyrrha ,Ren and Nora" as he said that Jaune went inside the Hall again.
