My Disciplinary Whipping -- I didn't do anything wrong... really

Adventure 2.0





May 9th was the first time I got a disciplinary whipping from my master. What happened was, the 9th of May was a monday. shifu found out a few guys went out and slept outside of the academy the previous weekend. As you readers will know, I tend to go get massages and relax on the weekends. But the school's rule is, if you sleep off campus you must sign out and tell the Master. Ash and i went to town with adam and Sharradon on saturday night and slept in the bath house. When we left we went to Master Guo's office to sign out. Master had left already so we told James, a new translator to call master Guo. He told us he would so we left. Let me say that one more time. James the new translator told us he was calling Master. Since we had to catch the bus we left. Well, on monday Master Guo asked the class who went out this weekend. Ash and i rose our hands along with Raven and Anders. Shifu told us he did not know about it. So we had to get caned. Ash said we signed out. He said that was not enough no one told him. Raven and Anders were worse because they snuck out of the academy without even letting anyone know. So Master Guo was really mad at them. Master had us line up in front of class. The order was Raven, Ash, Me, then Anders. We saw Master holding a long PVC pipe. Kinda like the pipe used to attach sprinklers in your lawn.


We knew we were going to be beat but we did not know how many we were going to get. We lined up in front of the class in a line. Raven first, Ash, Me , then Anders. We stood feet apart and hands on our head. I felt like we were getting an execution. The look on Master guo's face when he hit raven four times made me so scared. He yelled before he hit raven, THIS IS YOUR SECOND TIME! And hit him four times. he bent the cane from hitting Raven so hard. He fixed it before he hit Ash. When he hit Ash twice i felt so scared because i was hoping i would get hit twice but was not 100% sure! The scary part is not the beating itself, but the time in between the beating, the hesitation and waiting for the next one to come is so terrible. Master would hit us, take a few seconds, then hit us again. The wait drove us crazy! Might sound weird but try it. The hesitation is the worse. It hurt extremely bad. Later on i was talking to ash and told him that James didn't tell master Guo. We already got beat and if the translators make a mistake they get money taken off from their paycheck as penalty. We decided to be noble and not tell on James. I just won't tell him to call master for me ever again. I had a bruise from the beating all the way till Friday.


Master Guo has turned evil. He is more strict now in class. If someone is lazy he will kick them or yell and say faster or more power. No more Peaceful Master Guo. We think it might be stress from him running the school with so many new students or possibly he is strict during summer. But now i tell master guo in person two days in advance before i go out. Even if its just for the day i ask for permission. I do not want to get beat again!


Today is Monday, a start of another week. Had extra power training this week and it is starting to get a little easier to do all the exercises. i guess i am getting stronger. This weekend is my birthday party. Might go out with a few guys to dinner and karaoke or something. We will see. Ill be sure to fill you all in.e
