"What happened?" The handsome man said as he woke up in the hospital.
"Oh. You are awake." A pig with a short humanoid body said as he looked at the man.
"Oolong, is that you?. Where am I?" He asked the pig called Oolong.
"You are in Wukong Hospital. We found you lying unconscious in front of Bulma's house." Oolong said.
"Bulma's house? It must be him who dropped me off there but how did he know that place?" The man asked.
"Him? Who is he?" Oolong asked.
"The devil. A blue devil with flying wings." The man replied.
"A devil?" Oolong was shocked by his words.
"Where is Bulma?" The man asked.
"Oh, she won't be coming here to check on you. She is pretty angry that the guy that she was dating was found unconscious right in front of the biggest company in the city like a drunkard." Oolong answered.
"The biggest company in the city? Didn't you just say you found me in front of her house?" The man asked.
"You know she lives there right? Aren't you also living there?" Oolong reminds the man making him remember that Bulma lived in the capsule corporation along with her family.
"If you don't have anything left to say I am out of here. The hospital bill is already paid by Bulma. And Yamcha, remember unless you are sure that the Devil is completely off your rails try to stay away from me." Oolong said as he left leaving Yamcha alone in the hospital room.

"You are back. I am sure you have taken care of everything that needs to be taken care of." Baba said to Spike as she saw him arrive back to her place.
"Yes. I have killed the person who was after his family and also set up the magic array around to city to temporarily remove the desire to harm the boy's mother as long as they are in the city." Spike replied.
"Now we just have to hope that someone could resist that magic array from appearing in that city." Spike continued.
"Did you hear that. I have made sure that your mother is safe and sound. So now stop getting distracted and focus on your training." She said to me.
At that time I was still meditating to feel the ki in my body better.
I was able to sense it but it was still not enough to be emitted from my body in the form of beams, blades or spheres.
Baba thought that my lack of ki control is mainly responsible for my inability to emit ki from my body.
She told me that my body is already physically well-trained so I don't need to spend much time on it for a while.
So instead she told me to relax my mind and try to feel the ki that is in my body before she introduced me to the person who would help me control my ki better.
So I have been doing the same boring meditating for two days while being accompanied by an ugly old woman, a mummy and a vampire.
The only thing that is keeping me happy is that I can feel improvements in my body.

"Ha." I tried kicking a tree with my legs as a purplish white aura appeared around my body.
Three days' worth of training allowed me to feel the ki inside my body much better than I was able to in the past.
The amount of ki in my body did not increase because the training does not enhance my "Vigour", "Courage" or "Right-mindness" which are the three components that make up "Ki".
The tree that I kicked snapped in half easily despite my not becoming stronger physically.
Sometimes to becomes more powerful all you need is the ability to use the power you possess better than you did before.
"Ha." Then I launched a ki blast at another tree nearby and put a small hole through it.
"The old lady's forest was much more convenient than I thought. I could destroy everything in here without having to worry about much since all of them are created from magic." I said.
"Even then try to control yourself and not destroy much. Despite it being easy to fix everything in that place but it still takes time and is still bothersome." Baba warned me in my mind.
"Be prepared. The person who will be training you for the tournament is going to be here in a few days. You are now my champion so you cannot disappoint me and embarrass me in front of my guest." Baba said through my mind.
"When did I become your champion?" I asked her back.
"You are my champion until you pay me 10 million zeni back." She replied.
"10 million zeni. I don't think you can get that much from the tournament." I said to her.
"And they will be holding more than one tournament. You didn't think I would go through that much trouble for just 500 thousand zeni." She replied.
I can't see her face but I can feel her smiling after tricking me like this.
"Don't worry. I have no plan to increase the amount of money that you have to pay me after this." She replied in my mind.
"You know the more I know you the less I trust you," I said to her.
"Hohoho. I can't help it. Buisness is more important than friendship after all. I might help you out for free if you accomplish something phenomenal like saving the world but until then you have to pay me for every request that you make." She told me directly.
"If yoh don't like it you can search for a more capable person than me." She said.
A more capable person? Is she taking a piss? There are only two magic users who might be more powerful than her and both of them are too dangerous to be associated with. One of them is being hunted down by the god that ruled the universe and the other is in galactic prison. I thought in my mind as I cursed her.
