"Certainly!"
Facing Master Roshi's question, Rhode nodded seriously, then released a trace of Aura stronger than Aila's.
That Aura flashed by in an instant, but Master Roshi still caught it clearly. He looked at Rhode in great shock. "You're actually this strong!"
Seeing Master Roshi's expression, Rhode smiled and nodded earnestly. "We were born with great Power Levels, but we've never learned how to train, so we came to learn from you."
Hearing this, Master Roshi opened his mouth, inwardly complaining, Was that even something a human would say?
Realizing he had lost his composure, Master Roshi smacked his lips, composed himself, and resumed the bearing of a reclusive master. He spoke calmly, "Teaching you how to train isn't a problem, but..."
At that point, Master Roshi winked at Rhode, signaling for him to speak somewhere else.
"Aila, don't wander off. I'm going to talk things over with Master Mutian."
Understanding that Master Roshi did not want Aila to hear what he was about to say, Rhode immediately instructed her.
Hearing Rhode's order, Aila glared angrily at Master Roshi and waved him off impatiently. "Got it. Hurry up. I don't want to waste time!"
"It won't take long."
After saying that simply, Rhode followed Master Roshi off to the side and looked at him gently. "Master Mutian, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to worry."
"Then I'll be direct..."
Seeing Rhode be so forthright, Master Roshi stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "I can tell that while your Aura contains a trace of chilliness, it is generally upright and calm. That means your nature isn't bad. In that case, teaching you how to train is no problem.
"However, that little girl... despite being so young, her Aura is extremely cold and evil. She doesn't seem like a good person. Are you sure you two are together?"
Master Roshi told Rhode what he had sensed from their Auras, and Rhode's eyes immediately lit up.
Although Rhode had grasped how to sense Aura and, after several months, had roughly figured out a basic training method, he only knew the theory of judging whether someone was good or evil through their Aura. He had never been able to distinguish it clearly.
Although Master Roshi's Power Level was not high, he truly possessed many things worth learning from.
"You mean you'll only teach me, not Aila?"
The moment Rhode heard Master Roshi's words, he understood what he meant. However, as soon as Rhode finished speaking, Master Roshi shuddered, frowned at once, then spoke with a righteous expression. "How could that be? Am I really such an unreasonable person?"
Hm?
Looking at Master Roshi before him, Rhode scratched his head, unable to understand what this old man was trying to do.
"Ahem, ahem. She seems to listen to you. What I mean is, can you guarantee that she won't cause destruction on Earth?"
So this was the kind of Master Roshi he was?
At this moment, looking at the solemn Master Roshi, Rhode immediately understood how shrewd the old man was.
Although Master Roshi was a grandmaster who possessed the resolve to press forward in the face of disaster and sacrifice himself, he had lived for so many years and seen through everything. Aside from being lecherous, he was an exceedingly shrewd man.
By saying this, he obviously did not want to offend Aila by refusing to teach her, nor did he want to bring disaster upon Earth by teaching her. So, he had placed his hopes on Rhode, whom he barely considered a good person based on his senses.
That way, he could set his mind at ease.
If Master Roshi knew what Rhode was thinking, he could only say, What could I do with a Power Level of just over a hundred? I was helpless too!
However, Rhode could easily guarantee something so minor. "You can rest assured. Aila won't have the chance to cause any destruction."
"Good, then!"
With Rhode's confirmation, the gloom in Master Roshi's heart vanished. With his hands behind his back, he leisurely returned to Aila and spoke in an unfathomable manner. "Since you have come sincerely to seek instruction, I will naturally teach you everything I know. As for how much you can learn, that will depend on your own ability."
"Old man, you're so weak. Can you really teach us how to become stronger?"
Looking at Master Roshi acting so profound, Aila felt annoyed for no apparent reason. Thinking of the old man's Power Level of less than two hundred, she immediately spoke bluntly.
Aila's blunt words made Master Roshi's mouth twitch. He immediately retorted stubbornly, "A master need not be stronger than his disciple, nor must a disciple be inferior to his master. On the path of martial arts, strength is important, but cultivating oneself and one's heart is even more important!"
Rhode knew that while Master Roshi's words sounded like stubborn posturing, they were not without reason. After all, a Divine Technique like Ultra Instinct was, in a sense, connected to one's martial arts realm.
"Enough nonsense, old man. Hurry up and teach me that Aura training method. Stop talking about all this pointless stuff!"
Clearly, explaining such things to Aila was like playing music to a cow. What she wanted was a simpler, more direct way to increase her Power Level, not some profound martial arts philosophy.
"Fine, fine, fine. But let me make this clear first: I can teach you how to train, but I'm not feeding you!"
Aila's attitude was far from pleasant, but considering her terrifying strength, Master Roshi did not intend to argue with a child. Still, refusing to provide meals was Master Roshi's last shred of stubborn pride. He absolutely could not compromise on that.
Naturally, Rhode had no objection to such a trivial matter as food. Besides, space here was limited. Even if Master Roshi wanted to feed them, he did not have enough food to supply them. Saiyans had enormous appetites, and a little food would never be enough.
"Aura is a form of energy that exists within every living being. Normally, we..."
Since he had agreed to teach the two of them how to train, Master Roshi acted decisively. Once the conditions were settled, he immediately began teaching.
Although Aila looked down on Master Roshi as a weakling in battle, when he began teaching them training methods, she became more serious than ever before.
Clearly, Rhode's rapid increase in Power Level had always been a knot in Aila's heart. At the same time, she wanted to defeat Rhode and prove that she was the stronger one!
Aila was one year older than Rhode and had joined the Saiyan Squad earlier. Originally, her Power Level had been higher than Rhode's, but after several battles, Rhode had overtaken her and surpassed her.
As a Saiyan, Aila's pride would not allow her to admit defeat. She had constantly competed with Rhode, and because of that, their Power Levels had risen quickly, surpassing two thousand when they were only seven or eight years old.
Setting aside the past, at this very moment, Master Roshi taught without holding anything back, and the two of them learned with equal seriousness.
As time passed, Master Roshi grew more and more astonished. The shock in his heart never ceased.
Whether it was the relatively calm Rhode or the hot-tempered Aila, who constantly talked about fighting and killing, no matter what Master Roshi taught, the two of them could learn it in the shortest possible time. They would even offer ideas of their own.
In Master Roshi's eyes, these two little children were not human at all. They were simply two little monsters!
