That's What You Call a Saint

Vegeta froze for a moment, seemingly forgetting that Ji Yun was still beside him.

His arrogant expression stiffened instantly.

"Uh... long time no see."

Vegeta didn't know what to say, so he could only go along with Ji Yun.

He was afraid of offending Ji Yun and ending up dead without a place to be buried.

"You've gotten faster lately!"

"You suddenly popped out, and I thought some powerful fighter had shown up. You scared me half to death."

"If there's nothing else, go wait somewhere else!"

Ji Yun said calmly.

Of course he knew how badly Vegeta wanted to live forever.

But Porunga couldn't grant that wish.

Even if he could, Ji Yun wouldn't let Vegeta get his way so easily.

"You..."

Vegeta was beside himself with anger.

But when he saw the hostile look in Ji Yun's eyes, he had to let it go.

He didn't want to get himself killed.

He could only stand to one side, full of resentment.

"Nail, my first wish is to restore Namek to its original state!"

Ji Yun thought it over briefly, then made his decision.

"Mm."

Nail was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Ji Yun to make that wish.

Then he cast a grateful look at Ji Yun.

Nail chanted again in a language no one could understand.

Porunga's red eyes suddenly lit up once more.

The ravaged land was restored in an instant.

Mountains, rivers, and streams flowed merrily once again.

Life returned to the whole planet of Namek.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji Yun. We Namekians will never forget your kindness!"

Nail said with great emotion.

He was utterly in awe of Ji Yun now.

Before, he had admired Ji Yun's strength. Now he admired his character.

"Don't mention it. It was the least I could do."

Ji Yun said with a cheerful smile.

The planet had ended up like this because he and Frieza had fought here.

Although he wasn't primarily to blame, he still bore some responsibility.

"Then, Mr. Ji Yun, what is your second wish? Please, go ahead!"

Nail looked at Ji Yun with deep respect.

"Mm... My second wish is to revive the Namekians who were killed by Frieza and his men!"

This time, Ji Yun took a little longer to consider it before slowly stating his second wish.

When Nail heard Ji Yun make his second wish,

he was so moved that he nearly burst into tears.

He wished he could drop to his knees right then and knock his head against the ground several times,

to show his admiration for Ji Yun.

"A saint! Mr. Ji Yun, you're a saint!"

Nail exclaimed emotionally.

The person he had respected most in his life was the Great Elder of Namek.

Now, he had another person to respect above all others.

If Ji Yun so much as asked, Nail would gladly die for him.

Ji Yun scratched his head, embarrassed.

He kept asking himself,

Am I really that amazing?

At the same time,

Nail repeated the wish.

Once Porunga had confirmed it, his eyes lit up once more.

The many Namekians who had been killed came back to life.

They slowly rose to their feet.

"This is... I'm alive again?"

"Why is the sky dark?"

"Could it be that the great Porunga has brought us back to life?"

And so, the Namekians scattered across the planet came back to life.

"My third wish is..."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Ji Yun."

Ji Yun had just started to state his third wish when Nail suddenly interrupted him.

"What's wrong, Nail?"

Ji Yun looked at him in confusion.

"We could never repay you for all you've done for us Namekians."

"For this last wish, please make one for yourself."

"Otherwise, we couldn't live with ourselves!"

Nail spoke to Ji Yun earnestly.

The Great Elder had let them use the Dragon Balls in the first place to repay Ji Yun.

But after everything Ji Yun had done, the Namekians owed him even more.

"Mm, all right, then."

Ji Yun nodded seriously.

Even if Nail hadn't said anything, he would have used his third wish for himself.

He understood the principle of putting people first and taking care of business afterward.

"Phew, good. Please go ahead, Mr. Ji Yun!"

Nail let out a relieved breath and said with a smile.

"My third wish is to learn Instant Transmission, the technique of the Yardratians."

Ji Yun didn't give it much thought before slowly telling Nail.

Nail smiled and nodded.

Then he told Porunga Ji Yun's wish.

Porunga said, "I understand."

Porunga's eyes flashed once more.

A sudden flash of inspiration came to Ji Yun.

The method for using Instant Transmission appeared directly in his mind.

Porunga said, "All your wishes have been granted. Farewell!"

Porunga's enormous body suddenly vanished.

The Dragon Balls on the ground all rose into the sky.

Whoosh!

With a sound that cut through the air, the seven Dragon Balls scattered in different directions.

The sky returned to its original color.

Vegeta watched the Dragon Balls fly off in every direction.

Jealousy was plain in his eyes as he clenched his fists.

"Hmph. He had three perfectly good wishes, and he had to waste two of them on these useless losers."

Vegeta sneered.

In his eyes, Ji Yun was an idiot. He'd had the perfect chance to make his wishes come true, and he'd squandered it.

"If you want to die, I don't mind helping you out!"

A powerful aura burst from Nail as he glared at Vegeta.

Vegeta felt Nail's aura and was startled.

After the battle on Earth, he had also learned how to control his ki.

He clearly hadn't expected this Namekian to be able to unleash so much power.

"Hmph."

Vegeta snorted in displeasure.

But he didn't dare say anything more. He couldn't beat Nail, whose Battle Power was 40000.

"Mr. Ji Yun, if you have no pressing matters, you're welcome to stay on Namek for a few days and let us treat you properly."

Nail looked at Ji Yun gratefully, his admiration for him growing by the moment.

What Vegeta had said wasn't entirely wrong. Ji Yun could have used all three wishes for himself without giving any thought to Namek.

But he hadn't. That was the difference between people. That was true character!

"Thank you for the offer. We've gained a lot from coming to Namek."

"We still have things to take care of, so we won't impose on you any longer. We'll see each other again sometime!"

Ji Yun smiled and shook his head, declining Nail's invitation.

He was already perfectly satisfied. There was no point in staying here.

They might as well head back soon, since even more troublesome enemies would appear before long.

"I see. Then I wish you a safe journey. You're always welcome to visit!"

After hearing Ji Yun's answer, Nail didn't press him to stay.

"Farewell!"

Ji Yun nodded.

He grabbed Vegeta, who stood beside him, and lifted him up like a chicken.

Then he flew toward the spaceship.
