The next morning.
Gohan and Goten went to the back mountain to train together. A jet plane flew over and landed in front of them.
When the plane door opened, a girl with twin ponytails, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, walked out.
The girl had black hair, slender eyebrows, and light blue irises.
It was Videl.
"Vi... Videl, how did you know where my house was?"
Gohan asked, looking at Videl, who had come to find him, with some surprise.
Videl smiled and said, "Didn't you write your home address at school? I found out with a quick search!"
"I see!"
Gohan scratched his head with an embarrassed look.
"Brother, who is she?"
"She's my classmate, Videl. You can call her Videl!"
"Vi... Videl!"
Videl smiled and nodded.
"Videl, why did you come to my house?"
"Gohan, didn't you promise to teach me how to fly? Did you forget?"
Videl looked at Gohan with displeasure.
Upon hearing Videl's words, Gohan immediately remembered.
"No, I just didn't think it was urgent..."
Videl snorted.
"Who said it wasn't urgent? You have to teach me before the World Martial Arts Tournament starts. I want to surprise my Dad!"
Goten said, "Um, Brother, I want to go play with Trunks today, so I'll be going now!"
He didn't want to be a third wheel.
"Hey, Goten..."
Before Gohan could finish, Goten used the Flight Technique and flew into the sky.
Watching Goten fly into the sky, Videl became even more determined to learn the Flight Technique.
Noon.
Goten returned home for lunch and saw Videl, who had been invited to stay.
"Goten, you're back!"
Videl greeted Goten with a smile.
Goten nodded and sat down.
Chi-Chi said, "Alright, let's eat!"
Son Goku and the others immediately started eating.
After tasting some of Chi-Chi's cooking, Videl praised her.
"Gohan, your mom's cooking is really delicious, even better than my family's chef's!"
"A chef? Is your family very rich? You even have money to hire a chef!"
"It's alright!"
"Then how many houses do you have in West City?"
"Let me think, I think it's dozens!"
"Dozens? That means you're incredibly rich! Gohan, when are you two getting married?"
"Pfft..."
Upon hearing this, Gohan immediately spat out the food in his mouth onto Son Goku's face.
"Gohan!"
"S-Sorry, Dad!"
Gohan said, picking up a napkin from the table and wiping the food off Son Goku's face.
Videl stared blankly at Gohan, her mind lost in thought.
Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.
After a week of instruction from Gohan, Videl finally learned the Flight Technique.
At this moment, she was flying through the sky above Mount Paozu.
Suddenly, she flew in front of 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 this, Videl immediately used the Flight Technique and left Mount Paozu.
"Finally, she's gone!"
Gohan let out a long sigh of relief.
Then, he returned home, called Son Goten over, and began training him.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
Today was the day the World Martial Arts Tournament began. Krillin and the others heard that Son Goku was participating, so they also came to join the fun and compete.
Anyway… with their strength, it was impossible for them to win the championship.
At this time, Son Goku had already met up with Bulma and the others outside the tournament grounds.
Vegeta crossed his arms, glaring fiercely at Son Goku, and said.
"Kakarot, I'm definitely going to settle this with you in this tournament!"
Son Goku nodded.
He knew that the battle between him and Vegeta was unavoidable.
As the two chatted, Gohan kept looking around.
"Gohan, are you looking for Videl?"
Son Goku asked.
Krillin: "Videl?"
"Yeah, she's Gohan's classmate!"
"Just a classmate? Gohan!"
Krillin chuckled.
"Of course, she's a classmate, Uncle Krillin!"
"If she's a classmate, she's a classmate. Why are you so excited?"
"No, I'm not excited!"
Gohan explained.
"Classmate Gohan!"
Just then, a familiar voice called out.
Gohan turned and looked back, seeing Videl with her hair cut short.
Gohan: "Classmate Videl!"
Upon seeing Videl's appearance, Krillin couldn't help but tease Gohan.
"Gohan, this girl is pretty. You've got good taste, kid!"
"Uncle Krillin!"
Gohan looked at Krillin indignantly.
"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Don't be mad anymore, Gohan?"
"Then, Uncle Krillin, please don't make jokes like that anymore!"
"Okay, I get it!"
Just then, Videl walked up to Gohan.
"Classmate Gohan, who are they?"
"They are my Dad's friends. This is Uncle Krillin, this is Uncle Yamcha, this is Uncle Tien Shinhan…"
Videl nodded slightly.
"Hello, 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 megaphone shouted at the crowd.
"The registration for the World Martial Arts Tournament's junior division is here, please come and sign up!"
Gohan: "Junior division?"
"That's right, the World Martial Arts Tournament is now divided into a junior and adult division. Someone like Goten, due to his age, can only participate in the junior division!"
Gohan: "I see!"
Krillin and the others couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
Son Goten, who was the strongest, could only compete in the junior division because he was too young.
"So Videl, how much is the prize money for the junior division champion?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Ten million as well!"
"Really? Then Goku, Gohan, and Goten, you guys should take first and second place, that's twenty-five million!"
Vegeta looked displeased upon hearing this. He admitted that Son Goku and Son Goten were strong, but Gohan... he hadn't trained for seven years, and Vegeta didn't believe he couldn't beat Gohan.
"Then Goten, Trunks, why don't you two go register?" Son Goku said.
The two nodded.
Since there weren't many participants in the junior division, Son Goten and the others finished registering in a short amount of time.
