First Dragon Ball

In three days, from the basics of ki cultivation and the Meditation Method to the Turtle School Ki Wave and even the Ten Thousand Nations Shocking Palm, Master Roshi taught the two everything he knew except the Evil Containment Wave. The two little ones accepted it all readily, learning everything with ease and enjoyment.

"I have nothing left to teach you!"

Looking at Aila, whose aura had become noticeably steadier and more restrained in just three days, then at the more confident and composed Rhode beside her, Master Roshi waved his hand and said helplessly:

"From now on, as long as you keep training diligently, your strength will naturally improve."

"Thanks, old man!"

Hearing Master Roshi say that and sensing the changes in herself, Aila curled her lips and called out coldly. Then she turned to look elsewhere, as though the words had not come from her.

"This little girl is really terrible at saying what she means!"

Aila's stubbornness made Master Roshi chuckle. He could not help complaining to Rhode, who was watching the show with a smile.

But the moment his words fell, he was sent flying. Aila's voice followed after him. "Old man, don't make me kill you!"

Though he looked miserable, Master Roshi was completely unharmed. He ran back laughing shamelessly, winked at Rhode, and muttered, "See? A little tsundere!"

This time, however, Aila did not hit him again. She merely snorted coldly to show her displeasure.

With Aila's strength, how could she possibly fail to hear Master Roshi's words? She simply could not be bothered with him, considering that he had taught her how to train.

After three days, having mastered the method of ki cultivation and the techniques Master Roshi had taught them, Aila finally realized how terribly she had used her power in the past. She had not brought out anywhere near its proper might.

Though three days was still a short time, Aila could clearly feel the Power Increase, even if it was insignificant.

After all, in the past, it had been normal for her strength not to improve for one or two months when she was not fighting. Yet now, she could clearly sense improvement after only three days. This was no small matter!

In truth, Aila was not the only one who had changed in those three days. Through their time together, Master Roshi had also discovered that Rhode truly was just like his aura—upright, peaceful, steady, and confident.

But Aila's behavior had come as something of a surprise. In his eyes, this little girl was not inherently bad. She seemed more like a child who had been taught poorly.

If this little girl stayed by Rhode's side, then given enough time, even if she could not become completely good, she would not turn into a vicious villain.

"Master Mutian, let's have a good meal today!"

Master Roshi had taught them everything he could, and the two had learned it all. Seeing that the day of their parting had arrived, Rhode made the suggestion, then called out to the training Aila, "Aila, come on. Let's go prepare some food."

After saying that and greeting Master Roshi, he took Aila's hand and flew into the sky, heading toward a nearby town.

"They must be the disciples who graduated from here in the shortest time ever!"

Watching the two small figures vanish from sight before long, Master Roshi stroked his mustache. His expression was strange as he muttered to himself, "Saiyans? Is all life in the universe this powerful?"

Recalling what he had learned from the two, Master Roshi was both astonished and worried. He was astonished by the strength of Aliens, but worried that if Aliens descended upon Earth to cause destruction, who could possibly stop them?

After all, he did not believe every Alien would be as gentle as Rhode. Nor would they all be like Aila—bad-tempered and ready to fight or kill at the slightest disagreement, yet restrained by someone like Rhode so she could not act recklessly.

I should do something.

Thinking of the crisis Earth might face, Master Roshi vaguely formed an idea in his heart. Yet among all the Martial Artists he knew, there was no one who could compare with these two little ones.

What should he do?

Looking at the azure sky and the rippling sea, Master Roshi sank into deep thought.

Even when Rhode and Aila returned after purchasing a large amount of food, Master Roshi was still pondering the matter.

"Now that you've learned how to train, are you going back to your own planet afterward?"

As the three stuffed themselves and enjoyed the food to their hearts' content, Master Roshi thought of how his teaching had come to an end. His eyes flickered as he asked Rhode.

Faced with Master Roshi's probing, Rhode shook his head without a care. "No, we've decided to live on Earth from now on. This planet is quite livable, especially the food. It's far better than what we had on our planet!"

"Rhode's right!"

Hearing Rhode compare the food before them with what they had eaten in the past, Aila spoke indistinctly through a mouthful of food. Clearly, this violent little girl had been completely conquered by Earth's cuisine.

When Master Roshi heard that the two intended to live on Earth from now on, he was first stunned. Then the worry between his brows instantly vanished. Hasn't that solved the problem?

In his view, no matter how strong other Aliens might be, as long as these two little ones were here, Earth should not face any serious trouble. After all, they could not possibly watch the planet they lived on be destroyed.

"Hahaha, that's wonderful!"

With the gloom in his heart completely gone, Master Roshi downed several large cups of beer in succession, and his mood immediately became exceptionally cheerful.

"Master Mutian, this bead is quite pretty. Could you lend it to me for a while?"

As the three ate to their hearts' content, Rhode's gaze fell on the Three-Star Ball hanging from Master Roshi's neck, and he spoke up.

"This bead?"

Seeing Rhode take an interest in the bead on his chest, Master Roshi was taken aback. He then removed it from his neck, stared at it for a moment, and looked puzzled.

When Aila saw Master Roshi take off the Three-Star Ball, she reached out and grabbed it, examining it carefully as well. But no matter how she looked at it, it was merely a crystal-clear bead containing three stars. Other than looking the same from every angle, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

"It's just an ordinary bead, Rhode. What's so fun about it?"

After confirming that it was nothing more than an ordinary bead, Aila immediately lost interest. She casually tossed it to him and could not help complaining.

Aila felt that Rhode was becoming less and less like a Saiyan. As a Saiyan, instead of thinking about fighting or how to increase his strength, he was actually interested in playing with beads?

"Well, one bead really isn't anything special."

Not caring about Aila's complaint, Rhode treated her like a child and did not argue with her. However, he deliberately emphasized the words "one bead."

"Burp! Speaking of which, there has always been a legend on Earth. It says there are seven Dragon Balls scattered across the world. As long as someone gathers all of them, they can summon Shenron and have any wish granted!"

As he spoke, Master Roshi recalled the legend that had long circulated on Earth. Between drunken burps, he told the two the story. Finally, he looked at the Three-Star Ball in Rhode's hand. "Burp! Speaking of which, Rhode, this bead looks like one of the legendary Dragon Balls—"

Clang!

"Pffff..."

Before he could finish, Master Roshi was drunk beyond consciousness. He collapsed onto the table and fell completely asleep, impossible to wake no matter how they called to him.
