Registration

The next morning.

Gohan and Son Goten were training together in the back mountain when a jet flew over and landed in front of them.

When the plane door opened, a girl with twin ponytails stepped out, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts.

She had black hair, delicate eyebrows, and light-blue irises.

She was Videl.

"Vi... Videl, how did you know where I lived?"

Gohan looked at Videl, who had come all the way to his home, and asked in surprise.

Videl smiled.

"Didn't you write down your home address at school? Anyone could find out with a little checking!"

"I see!"

Gohan scratched his head awkwardly.

"Big Brother, who is she?"

"She's Videl, a classmate from my school. You can call her Big Sister Videl!"

"Bi... Big Sister Videl!"

Videl smiled and nodded.

"Videl, why did you come to my house?"

"Gohan, didn't you promise to teach me how to fly? Don't tell me you forgot?"

Videl looked at Gohan with displeasure.

When Videl put it that way, Gohan immediately remembered.

"No, I just thought there was no rush..."

Videl snorted.

"Who said there wasn't? You have to teach me before the World Martial Arts Tournament begins, so I can give my dad a real surprise!"

Son Goten said, "Um, Big Brother, I want to go play with Trunks today, so I'll be leaving first!"

He had no desire to be a third wheel.

"Hey, Goten..."

Before Gohan could finish, Son Goten had already used the Flight Technique and flown into the sky.

Watching Son Goten fly into the sky, Videl became even more determined to learn the Flight Technique.

At noon.

Son Goten returned home for lunch and saw Videl, who had been invited to stay for the meal.

"Goten, you're back!"

Videl smiled and greeted Son Goten.

Son Goten nodded and sat down.

Chi-Chi said, "All right, let's eat!"

At once, Son Goku and the others dug in.

After tasting some of Chi-Chi's cooking, Videl praised her.

"Gohan, your mom's cooking is so delicious. It's even better than the food made by the chef at my house!"

"A chef? Is your family really that rich? You can actually afford to hire a chef!"

"It's not too bad!"

"Then how many houses does your family own in West City?"

"Let me think... I think we have a few dozen buildings."

"A... few dozen buildings? Isn't that insanely rich? Gohan, when are you two getting married?"

"Pfft..."

Upon hearing that, Gohan immediately sprayed the food in his mouth all over Son Goku's face.

"Gohan!"

"S-Sorry, Dad!"

As Gohan spoke, he grabbed a tissue from the table and wiped the rice grains off Son Goku's face.

Videl stared blankly at Gohan, unable to tell what she was thinking.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

After a week of Gohan's instruction, Videl had finally learned the Flight Technique.

At that moment, she was flying through the skies above Mount Paozu.

Suddenly, she flew over to Gohan and said,

"Gohan, I've learned the Flight Technique, so I'll head back now. See you at the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

"Okay!"

Gohan nodded.

Seeing that, Videl immediately used the Flight Technique and left Mount Paozu.

"She finally left!"

Gohan let out a long sigh of relief.

Then he returned home, called Son Goten over, and helped him train.

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

Today was the day the World Martial Arts Tournament began. Krillin and the others had heard that Son Goku was participating, so they came along to join in the fun and enter the competition as well.

After all... with their strength, there was no way they could win the championship.

At that moment, Son Goku had already met up with Bulma and the others outside the martial arts tournament grounds.

Vegeta crossed his arms and glared fiercely at Son Goku.

"Kakarot, this time, I'm definitely settling things with you once and for all!"

Son Goku nodded.

He knew that a battle between him and Vegeta was unavoidable.

As the two talked, Gohan kept turning his head to look around.

"Gohan, are you looking for Videl?"

Son Goku asked.

Krillin said, "Videl?"

"Yeah, she's Gohan's classmate!"

"Just a classmate, Gohan?"

Krillin teased with a grin.

"Of course she's just a classmate, Uncle Krillin!"

"If she's just a classmate, why are you getting so worked up?"

"I'm not! I'm not worked up!"

Gohan explained.

"Gohan!"

Just then, a familiar voice called out.

Gohan turned around and saw Videl, who had cut her hair short.

Gohan said, "Videl!"

After seeing Videl, Krillin could not help teasing Gohan.

"Gohan, that girl's pretty cute. You've got good taste, kid!"

"Uncle Krillin!"

Gohan glared at Krillin angrily.

"All right, all right, I was just joking. Don't get mad, Gohan."

"Then please stop making jokes like that, Uncle Krillin!"

"All right, I got it!"

Just then, Videl walked over to Gohan.

"Gohan, who are they?"

"They're my dad's friends. This is Uncle Krillin, this is Uncle Yamcha, this is Uncle Tien Shinhan..."

Videl nodded slightly.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Gohan's classmate. My name is Videl!"

Krillin and the others nodded slightly.

"So, Gohan, have you registered yet?"

Videl asked.

"Not yet!"

Just then, a staff member holding a large loudspeaker shouted at the crowd.

"The registration area for the World Martial Arts Tournament youth division is here! Everyone, please come sign up!"

Gohan said, "Youth division?"

"Yeah, the World Martial Arts Tournament is now divided into youth and adult divisions. At Goten's age, he can only compete in the youth division!"

"I see!"

Krillin and the others immediately burst out laughing.

Son Goten, the strongest among them, could only compete in the youth division because he was too young.

"Then Videl, how much is the prize money for the youth division champion?"

Chi-Chi asked.

"It's also ten million!"

"Really? Then Goku, Gohan, and Goten can sweep the champion and runner-up prizes. That's twenty-five million!"

Vegeta looked displeased upon hearing that.

He admitted that Son Goku and Son Goten were strong, but Gohan... Gohan had not trained for seven years. He did not believe he could not defeat Gohan.

"Then Goten and Trunks, you two go register."

Son Goku said.

The two nodded.

Since there were not many participants in the youth division, Son Goten and Trunks finished registering in no time.
