Creature Hunting
Juju is waiting for you in the bodybuilding pension. As you approach the area, go up one of the small paths that lead to the building. Enter and speak to Juju. He is worried because the pension is surrounded by monsters.

Wanting his room to be spared from trouble, he asks you to take care of it. There are four fights to be fought: one to the southwest of the pension, one to the southeast, one to the northeast and one below the west side of the pension.
You will encounter roughly the same monsters during these fights:
- The Spear Crowns. These are jellyfish vulnerable to fire. Silence will also end up weakening them. On the other hand, they dodge the vast majority of your physical attacks.
- Tropical Bulgu. These flying fish are vulnerable to ice and Transmutation. Quite weak, they won't cause you too much trouble.
- The Bulgu commanders. Obviously a slightly stronger version than the tropical ones, the Bulgu Commander is vulnerable to ice, but not to Transmutation. Additionally, he can round up other Bulgu when he is in danger. However, he is not particularly formidable either.
When the cleaning is done, return to see Juju at the bodybuilding pension, who thanks you warmly. Amina, a member of Mecs & Pecs, shows up to express her admiration for Tifa. She also wants to participate in an abs duel against Cloud's friend.
Accept to start a new rhythm mini-game. You must press each of the controller's triggers in turn with a timing that becomes faster and faster. In addition, the keys disappear shortly after the start of the duel, and sometimes you have to hammer the key indicated on the screen in order to continue the abdo.

Finally, the DualSense's L2 and R2 triggers are becoming harder and harder to press. Be sure to go straight because the game will count for an error if the pressure is not strong enough. And one mistake wastes a lot of time before Tifa gets back to doing sit-ups.
The goal is obviously to do more than Amina, knowing that she will make mistakes quite regularly. You recover 3 speed drinks from Juju in case of victory. The abs mini-game, as well as its higher levels, are now accessible at any time.
The quest ends and you also leave with 500 Exp, 10 Team Exp and an affinity increase with Tifa.
