With five separate challenges

„To determine who will get punished in which way the two of you will play five short games against each other- each deciding about one more modifier we will make to your punishment. If you win your opponent gets the modifier, if you lose you get it. If someone manages to win all five rounds they can avoid this punishment completely and the other one will get all the modifiers. Understood?“

You and Tommy both nod. You knew what was at stake here. You had to try your best to beat this asshole and avoid a punishment yourself and you wouldn’t let him stop you from doing so.

„Alright- our very first challenge is a test of strength for the two of you- and whoever looses this challenge will get a taste of our brand new Mommy-Milker pill… the name is pretty self-explanatory right?“

Two assistants push a contraption onto the stage, covered under a huge red blanket. After a short drumroll they pull it away, revealing a boxing machine. Tommy instantly positions himself in front of you, he was gonna go first and not hold back. You see him taking a step back before explosively letting his fist shoot forwards yet his speed makes his punch slightly off target. You all watch with tension in the air as the counter on the machine goes up… 200… 400… 600… 700… 800 and finally 836, definitely not a bad score. You come second, focusing as you knew that you had to hit the punching back dead center to win this, you pull back your fist and slam it forwards, your eyes still closed as you hear cheering behind you.

Carefully you open your eyes, letting out a relaxed sigh as you see the number on the screen: 901. the first game was in your pocket, four more to go to avoid a punishment you think to yourself as the host gets ready to continue

„Oh wow- you pack quite the punch John, congrats! Now, let’s move on to our second game. This time the candidates are gonna fight for- or better against- our „DumDum Pill“! Right now it might seem easy to decipher what that pill doesn’t but that won’t be so easy after you’ve taken one of them as it lowers your iq to that of a elementary school student- a dumb one at that. And the game the two of you are gonna play is gonna test your reflexes“

Before you knew it you see the announcer grab something behind him and throw it towards the two of you. Without even thinking about it- and you catch a small ball right out of the air

„Congrats to John for winning our second little surprise game- next time try to be a bit more alert if you want to win Tommy!“

You’ve already had enough of those childish games, they were idiotic and 90 percent luck but you still had to go through with them. You were already almost halfway there to winning And avoiding you punishment, you had to double down now, you couldn’t afford to lose. Yet that mindset quickly vanishes as Tommy just barely edges you out in the next challenge- a game of table tennis and it doesn’t get much better after that, the strong form you had in the beginning gone and instead Tommy was winning one game after the next and before you knew it all was said and done. You’ve won two times and he won three times. Now it was time to face your punishments.
