Chapter 330: Goals and asspirations (1/2)
Early the next morning, Ben woke up in his bed to the sounds of birds outside, and stretched his arms out. Only after coming home from the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament did he realize how exhausted, sore, and beat up his body was after all that grappling. He'd fallen right to sleep and spent the entire evening in bed.
Only now did he get a chance to reflect and think back to his conversation with Ricardo Barbosa. Although the main reason Ben agreed to start standup was because he'd seen busy beauties on TV at those events before, he still realized the importance of standup.
After all, Nick had sent him flying with just one punch and that was enough of a lesson. Ben had started MMA with the intention of reinforcing the safety of his cuckolding…
As such, it only made sense to him to go all the way, both in MMA and with men's wives…
To do that though, it was clear BJJ wouldn't be enough. He needed to learn striking, becoming an all-rounder. In any case, although he wasn't any time of master in BJJ, his skill level at the moment was pretty good. As for what was in store for the striking training he agreed to begin at Ricardo's gym, Ben had no idea. He'd learn about that when the time came.
For now, he had other business to take care of—counting his rewards!
Opening the system screen, Ben navigated to his challenges.
[Congratulations! You've completed the Special Optional Challenge: Tourney Time, Not Horny Time - Win a BJJ tournament at Barbosa MMA Gym]
[Reward: 5000 PUA Points, signs of recognition or permission to train in more advanced classes]

[Distributing reward: PUA points x 5000]
As for the other reward, before Ben left, Ricardo gave him permission to move up to train in the purple belt class as he'd promised in the past. However, when Ben asked if he could be upgraded to a blue belt, Ricardo just laughed at him…
In the end though, perhaps feeling bad, Ricardo gave Ben a condolence gift, having pulled out some black tape from his desk drawer, walking over to Ben and wrapping one black stripe around the tip of Ben's white belt. It also made Ben scream, ”Get away from my d*ck, pervert!”
…
However, realizing what was happening, he held himself back and accepted his status upgrade, as meager as it was. Now, back at home, he appreciated the genuine upgrade he cared about, as he reviewed the system notifications he'd received back at the gym.
