World Martial Arts Tournament

Afternoon.

Son Goten woke up from his nap and saw Trunks had come to play with him.

"Trunks, why are you here?"

Trunks heard this and said with displeasure, "Goten, you don't seem to want me to come?"

"No, why would I!"

"My Dad doesn't force me to train with him all the time anymore. I only have to train for an hour or two every day!"

"Oh, that's good!"

Trunks looked unhappy after hearing this.

It was because Son Goten was the reason Vegeta had dragged him to train. Now that he wasn't being forced to train, it was also because of Son Goten.

"What's wrong, Trunks?"

"Nothing. So, what should we do now, Goten?"

"I don't know. Why don't you decide?"

"How about we go catch fish at the waterfall today?"

"Let's go catch fish then!"

Trunks nodded.

Time flew by, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Just like in the original story, Gohan got into Orange Star High School and became classmates with Videl.

Mount Paozu, Son Goku's backyard.

Son Goten was currently standing on a patch of grass, training.

"Ah!"

With a loud roar, Son Goten's hair turned bright red, his eyes became larger and his pupils appeared, with the colors of his pupils and irises turning black and red respectively. His entire body was enveloped in ki that resembled solar flames.

This was the transformation into Super Saiyan God.

Because Super Saiyan God possessed divine ki, Gohan and the others on Earth did not sense Son Goten's aura after his transformation.

Son Goten looked at his hair and once again raised his aura.

BOOM!!

With an incredibly astonishing aura, Son Goten's hair and eyebrows both turned sky blue, his pupils became deep blue, and he was surrounded by blue ki and the starlike particles unique to divine ki. His aura occasionally flowed with droplets of water. The aura flowed much slower than the ki of humans and Super Saiyans, and it carried very faint electrical sparks. The aura was divided into two layers, from outside to inside, the colors were sky blue and white.

This was Super Saiyan Blue.

"So this is the power of Super Saiyan Blue!"

Son Goten clenched his fists slightly and said.

Afterward, he glanced behind him.

The power of Super Saiyan Blue was comparable to that of Super Saiyan 4. If he had a tail now, he could also transform into Super Saiyan 4 using the method from Dragon Ball GT.

Actually, Son Goten had a tail when he was young, but Gohan pulled it out.

Because Saiyans transform into Great Apes on a full moon night, Gohan worried that Son Goten would lose control like he himself had.

His current body was that of a child. If he could transform into Super Saiyan 4, he would become as tall as Son Goku and the others.

"System, can you make my tail grow back?"

"Replying to Master, the System does not have this function. You can use the Dragon Balls to make your tail grow back!"

"The Dragon Balls! But there's only one wish left on the Dragon Balls. If something suddenly happens to Earth, we'll have to use the Dragon Balls!"

"Then, Master, you can only wait for your tail to grow back on its own!"

Son Goten nodded.

"Um, System, if I transform into a Great Ape... I shouldn't lose control, right?"

"Based on Master's current bloodline, I believe you would!"

"Would I?"

"Yes, but Master, you don't need to worry too much. You have mastered the power of Super Saiyan God. Theoretically, even if you lose control, it would only be for a short while!"

"Really!"

Upon hearing this, Son Goten immediately began to train.

In the evening, Gohan, wearing a green shirt, black pants, a red cape draped behind him, and a helmet on his head, returned home.

This outfit was the Great Saiyaman costume that Bulma had made to help Gohan conceal his heroic deeds in the original Dragon Ball story.

"How's it going, Goten?"

After returning home, Gohan showed off his outfit to Son Goten.

Upon hearing this, Son Goten let out a dry laugh, unsure of what to say for a moment.

No matter how he looked at it, Gohan's outfit was incredibly chuunibyou.

"It's... it's pretty good!"

Son Goten said against his better judgment.

Gohan smiled.

"I asked Aunt Bulma to make this outfit for me to conceal my identity!"

"Conceal your identity?"

Son Goten feigned curiosity.

"Yeah, I want to be a righteous hero, but I don't want others to know my identity and disrupt my high school life, so I'm using this outfit to hide it!"

"I see!"

"Mm!"

Gohan nodded.

"And I've even given myself a cool name!"

"What name?"

"Super Saiyan Man! What do you think of the name, Goten?"

"It's okay!"

"What do you mean 'it's okay'? I thought about this name for a long time!"

Son Goten chuckled upon hearing this.

"Goten, what are you laughing at?"

Gohan's expression suddenly turned a bit serious.

"It's nothing!"

Just then, Son Goku, who had been training on North Kai's Planet for a day, returned home.

When he saw Gohan's attire, he was immediately speechless.

"Gohan, what is this outfit?"

"Dad, this is the Super Saiyan Man outfit Aunt Bulma made for me!"

"Super... Saiyan Man? What's that?"

"He's a hero who maintains peace in West City!"

"Oh, but why are you dressed like this?"

"I want to be a normal high school student, so I don't want anyone to know my real identity!"

"I see!"

"So Dad, what do you think of my outfit?"

"It's... it's pretty good!"

Son Goku said against his better judgment.

Hearing this, Gohan's heart immediately brightened with joy.

Afterward, he went to find Chi-Chi to ask what she thought of the outfit.

Chi-Chi didn't say anything against her better judgment, simply stating the outfit was average.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Gohan returned home in the evening and told Chi-Chi he wanted to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament.

"Participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

"Yes, Mom, I heard that the champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament gets a prize of ten million, and even the second place gets five million!"

"T-ten million!"

Chi-Chi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Over the years, Chi-Chi had been living off Son Goku's prize money, and now the family didn't have much money left.

How could she let such an opportunity to get money slip away?

"Okay, I agree! You'll go to school tomorrow and apply for a leave of absence!

Goku, Goten, you two also have to participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament!"

"Us? Uh, Chi-Chi, I don't think Goten and I need to, do we?"

Upon hearing this, Chi-Chi glared angrily at Son Goku.

"Goku, you've been in the Underworld all these years, you have no idea how difficult it's been for me raising Gohan and Goten. And we don't have much money left at home either.

If you go participate in the tournament, winning first and second place is a sure thing for us. Ten million plus five million is fifteen million!

Goku, if you don't agree, I won't cook for you anymore!"

"Ah!"

Son Goku, threatened by Chi-Chi, had no choice but to agree.
