Planet Yardrat.
Glen flew back from outer space.
He naturally noticed the two tagalongs on his tail, but he had no time for them now.
There were still ten years before the Dragon Ball story began, and he had far too much to do in that time.
Learning Instant Transmission was the most important part of his plan. He could not let Supreme Kai Shin disrupt it.
Glen returned to the street. As soon as he landed, several short Yardratians came forward to greet him.
"I am the Grand Elder of Planet Yardrat. We pay our respects to you, Lord God of Destruction Candidate!"
The Grand Elder of Planet Yardrat bowed to Glen, and the Yardratians behind him bent at the waist as well.
"?"
Glen paused, then asked, "You know me?"
"No, we do not."
The Yardratian Grand Elder shook his head. "But I recognized the clothes you are wearing, my lord."
As it turned out, half a year earlier, Beerus had carried out a planet-clearing mission near Planet Yardrat, at the very location where Supreme Kai Shin had previously wanted to recreate planets.
Beerus's act of destruction had been so outrageous that all the Yardratians had witnessed him destroying the planets.
The Yardratian Grand Elder had found Beerus's clothes familiar, so he had gone back to consult his people's history books.
Sure enough, their history books contained some information about the God of Destruction and the Supreme Kai.
Thus, upon seeing the clothes on a child like Glen, the Yardratian Grand Elder had guessed his identity.
"So that's how it is!"
Glen nodded.
He had not expected Planet Yardrat to have records even about the God of Destruction. The Yardratians truly deserved their place among the North Galaxy's three extraordinary races.
"May I ask what brings you here, Lord God of Destruction Candidate? If there is anything we Yardratians can help with, we will spare no effort!" the Yardratian Grand Elder said respectfully.
"I heard you have a secret technique called Instant Transmission here. I'd like to learn it. Would you agree to that?"
"..."
You're a God of Destruction Candidate. Would we dare say no?
The Yardratian Grand Elder wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said:
"Of course."
With that, he had someone take Glen to the Instant Transmission training chamber.
Yet shortly after Glen left, two more figures followed behind him, one large and one small.
"Lord Supreme Kai?!"
The Yardratian Grand Elder's body jolted.
What was going on lately?
The God of Destruction, the Supreme Kai, and a God of Destruction Candidate had appeared one after another. Was something major about to happen in the universe again?
Supreme Kai Shin and Kibito paid the Yardratian Grand Elder no attention at all. They continued following Glen at a short distance.
When Glen entered a sealed chamber, the two of them actually crouched in a corner, seemingly intending to wait for him to come out.
The Yardratian Grand Elder: "..."
Inside the sealed chamber.
There was nothing here except an inscribed stone tablet.
The Yardratian who had brought Glen into the chamber was named Difu. He said:
"Lord God of Destruction Candidate, as long as you focus your spiritual power on the inscribed tablet, you will be able to sense the method for practicing Instant Transmission."
"All right, you can leave."
Glen waved a hand.
Difu walked out, but as soon as he stepped through the chamber's doorway, he saw two people crouching in the corner nearby.
"Grand Elder, who are they? Did they come here to learn Instant Transmission too?" Difu asked curiously.
"Keep your voice down. The smaller one is Lord Supreme Kai." The Yardratian Grand Elder shot him a glare.
Difu ducked his head. He had not expected to encounter so many gods today.
"By the way, Grand Elder, how long do you think it will take that Lord God of Destruction Candidate to master Instant Transmission?" Difu asked cautiously.
"Why are you asking? Anyone who can become a God of Destruction Candidate must be a peerless genius!"
"Of course I know anyone who can become a God of Destruction Candidate must be a peerless genius. That's exactly why I'm curious about his talent!"
Difu thought for a moment, then continued, "If I remember correctly, the fastest record among us Yardratians is two years, right? I think this Lord God of Destruction Candidate should be faster than that."
"Enough, enough. The Lord God of Destruction Candidate isn't someone we can gossip about. Say no more."
The Yardratian Grand Elder waved a hand. Daring to gossip about a god like that-did he have a death wish?
The Supreme Kai and Kibito exchanged a glance in the corner. They now understood why Glen had come here.
After hearing the conversation between the Yardratian Grand Elder and Difu, they too were curious how long Glen would need to learn this secret technique.
Time passed swiftly. With matters to attend to, the Yardratian Grand Elder had already left the area outside the chamber.
An hour passed, and Difu was still waiting outside the training chamber. Those were the Grand Elder's orders.
Difu knew no one could possibly master Instant Transmission in a single day, and waiting there was rather boring.
Two hours passed.
Three hours passed.
Then came the sixth hour!
Outside the chamber, Difu suddenly sensed something, and his eyes widened.
"How is this possible!!"
