The Challenge of the Warrior Master is a quest.

Obtaining

Talk to Oto Mustam at [-25,33] in the Brakmar Militia.

Dialog
Ask for a new mission. No more urgent tasks to oversee... It won't last long, but it does feel nice to take a breather. Of course, my son keeps pestering me to fight him. But that's better than having to wait for special agents to return from an important mission. Come to think of it... Since you've nothing to do, go entertain my son! And you'd better lose, or you'll be fighting me next. Obey.

Step 1: Challenge Puja

You're supposed to challenge Puja Mustam, Oto's son, and lose. Are you really gonna let him kill you? That brat?

• Talk to Puja Mustam  [-26,36]

On the same map as the Bank, in the house on the right side.

Dialog
Ah, I want to fight! I really want to fight! But I'm the strongest so nobody wants to fight with me! Everybody is afraid of me! Ahah! Hey you! Do you want to fight or are you just gonna grovel like the others? Accept the fight.

If you win the fight, you drop 1 Tuft of Puja's Hair and Puja has additional dialog:

Dialog
Cheater! Thief! Liar! I'm gonna tell my daddy! Boooohoo! Try to console him.

Note: you must lose this fight. If you kill Puja, you will have to wait ~24 hours to progress.

He deals around 10 damage per turn, so the easiest way to lose is to simply leave the fight.

• Fight Puja Mustam while keeping in mind Oto Mustam's warning, then go back and see the latter

Return to Oto Mustam. If you lost the fight, you complete the quest:

Dialog
Say you've fought Puja. Leave. Ah, well done! Very good, let's move on to more serious matters... Withdraw until the next mission.

If you won the fight, Oto will attack you, starting a fight against 1 level 200 Oto Mustam (monster). Other characters and Sidekicks can join the fight, but he has 90,000 HP, over 10,000 Initiative, and casts Slaughter which will 1-shot everyone.

Dialog
Say you've fought Puja. ARE YOU SERIOUS? HE RAN AWAY CRYING! Eat my wrath! Wait until the anger passes. (starts a fight)

You receive 1 Tooth showing the current time. You must wait before talking to Oto Mustam, or he will kill you again (however, this will not change the time on the Tooth and therefore won't reset the timer). The cooldown time is less than 24 hours, but the exact value is unknown.

You must fight Oto at least once to receive the Tooth and start the cooldown timer.

This quest is slightly different on the Shadow server - expand this section for more information.

Oto Mustam has an additional dialog option:

Dialog

No more urgent tasks to oversee... It won't last long, but it does feel nice to take a breather. Of course, my son keeps pestering me to fight him. But that's better than having to wait for special agents to return from an important mission. Come to think of it... Since you've nothing to do, go entertain my son! And you'd better lose, or you'll be fighting me next. Worry about perishing at the hands of Oto Mustam's son. Hmm, yes, that may be a problem. Okay, this is how we'll do it. Go beat up that little brat and then make me believe you lost. If your lie is convincing enough, I'll pretend it's true. Agree.

Then, you can simply win the fight against Puja Mustam to progress the quest; Oto Mustam will have the same dialog options as if you had lost, and will not attack you.
