Macan's Mass- Part 2

Macan is starting out his sumo training, and has taken to it like a fish to water- and then eaten the fish, and anything else in his path. Enjoy, folks!

Macan roared as he charged for his opponent. The tiger, with his immense strength, and his increasingly immense size, charged his opponent. He hit the other sumo wrestler like a wrecking ball, tackling him and, tensing his still impressive arms, hoisted him up to throw him out of the ring.

"Hah! Yes! Once again, I am victorious! Now…" the tiger therian lumbered forward, planting a foot on his opponent's belly. "Now, I will eat y-"

"Ahem. Macan, remember the new rules!" Ashigara shouted. A thoroughly burly bear therian, he had taken Macan under his wing and taught him the rules of sumo wrestling. He was eager to make friends with the tiger- but he wouldn't brook any talk about eating other wrestlers, not in his stable.

Macan grumbled for a moment, before sighing. "...Your rations. All of them! Hah!"

It was an imperfect, but workable system. In this new Sumo stable, working alongside Ashigara and others, Macan was told he was not allowed to say he would eat his opponents in battle. Instead, he would get their sumo rations- which, since size was an important factor for sumo wrestlers, was sort of like eating the others. It was a very weak argument, but thankfully, Macan was not prized for his intellect. The other sumo wrestlers had underestimated his appetite, however. Macan was growing at an unprecedented weight; already he was in the heavier tier of wrestlers. All that hard, bulky muscle was still there, and his arms definitely held some of their definition- but his torso was starting to stretch his mawashi. His chest was growing soft and plump, and his belly had grown into a hearty boulder- dense, round, and always packed with food.

Despite the drawbacks, the tiger's threats of eating his opponents- or insistence on being eaten, should he ever be defeated- were growing quieter and quieter. The food at the Stable, overseen by Ashigara, was delicious; there was plenty of meat and proteins, rice bowls, filling carbs, plenty to drink, and meal times were frequent. Ashigara and the other sumos still had high hopes the tiger's appetite could be sated, but how much their Stable's food budget would be stretched by then was anyone's guess..
