"Oh? What trick? Tell me about it." Vegeta immediately became interested.
"First, let's establish one thing. What do you think an ordinary Super Saiyan is?" Soya asked.
"What else could it be? What do you mean by asking that?" Raditz was confused.
"Could a Super Saiyan be a transformation?" Soya said with a smile.
"What kind of joke is that? The Great Ape is the only transformation Saiyans have!" Raditz shook his head, finding Soya's claim a little ridiculous.
"Negative Emotion Points +999 from Berryblue!"
"Negative Emotion Points +888 from Frieza!"
Soya had just been about to argue with Raditz when he received Negative Emotion Points from Frieza.
For a moment, Soya was baffled.
Did I dig up your family's graves or something, Frieza?
Why the hell are you giving me Negative Emotion Points?
Was that guy going to catch up to them?
Soya turned to glance through the transparent window behind him.
It didn't look like anyone was following them!
Could Frieza be giving him Negative Emotion Points because they'd taken off their Scouters?
Soya's guess had been right. Frieza's side had lost its signal, and he couldn't hear Soya and the others anymore, so he was providing Negative Emotion Points.
"Go on, Soya," Vegeta said, watching him with interest, a hint of wisdom on his young face.
"Your Highness, Prince Vegeta, we shouldn't listen to his nonsense," Carnegie chimed in.
Vegeta ignored Carnegie and merely shot him a sidelong glance.
Carnegie's mouth twitched. He didn't dare say another word.
"Based on my research, there are actually cells in Saiyans' bodies that can turn us into Super Saiyans. These cells are called S-Cells." Soya gave a detailed explanation of how to transform into a Super Saiyan, speaking confidently. "Every Saiyan has S-Cells in their body. Once the number of S-Cells reaches a certain level, a huge emotional upheaval can turn them into a Super Saiyan."
Vegeta and the others all went still, their gazes fixed on Soya.
You're spouting nonsense with such a straight face, and you make it sound so convincing. We almost believed you.
"When did you research all this?" Nappa asked, deeply skeptical.
"When else? While we were traveling through space, of course. Everyone else was sleeping, but I was doing research!" Soya sighed with feeling. "As a low-class warrior, I ought to have a special ability of my own!"
Nappa and Raditz were at a loss for words.
That actually sounded kind of reasonable.
"Then tell me, how do you get S-Cells?" Vegeta asked, watching Soya with interest.
"According to my research, you need a peaceful heart for S-Cells to develop quickly." Soya told the truth.
See? I've even told you how.
If you still can't become Super Saiyans, all I can say is that you're useless.
"A peaceful heart?" Nappa raised an eyebrow.
"What do you mean? Explain in detail," Raditz said, now interested too.
"Some things can only be understood, not explained. You have to figure them out for yourselves if you want S-Cells to develop faster." Soya smiled mysteriously. "But I don't think any of you meet the requirements."
"Negative Emotion Points +666 from Vegeta!"
"Negative Emotion Points +888 from Nappa!"
"Negative Emotion Points +777 from Raditz!"
"From Carnegie..."
That round of taunting earned Soya more than 5,000 Negative Emotion Points in one go.
But he was also on his guard.
If he accidentally made Vegeta mad enough to hit him with a killing move, things could get ugly.
If it really came to that, he'd have to use his ultimate move.
That's right: the Negative Emotion Points system came with a powerful ultimate move, mainly for self-preservation.
That ultimate move was rebirth.
In short, if Soya was killed, he would immediately be reborn in a random universe or on a random planet.
However, rebirth had a cooldown.
The cooldown was ten years.
So if he was killed again within those ten years, he would really die.
That was why Soya wasn't afraid of Vegeta and the others.
His starting point had already been practically hell mode.
Might as well live it up.
You made a Saiyan with a battle power of just 300 live on Planet Vegeta. Weren't you trying to get him killed?
"Don't get the wrong idea. In fact, most Saiyans don't have peaceful hearts," Soya added with another smile. "It took me a long time to gradually calm my own mind, too."
"So, can you become a Super Saiyan?" Vegeta asked, watching Soya with a smile.
"Not yet, but I think I should be able to before long," Soya said with a grin.
"Hmph. Baseless nonsense. Come back and talk when you've become a Super Saiyan!" Vegeta snorted, no longer interested in listening to Soya's wild claims. He abruptly stood up and headed outside.
"Your Highness, Prince Vegeta... are you going to the bathroom?" Raditz asked in surprise.
"Hmph. I'm going to sleep!" Vegeta grunted. He didn't give Soya any trouble, but left the room and went to rest in his Sleep Pod.
As far as Vegeta was concerned, Soya was just a low-class warrior.
As for the Super Saiyan Soya had described, Vegeta had taken it as a joke.
S-Cells? A peaceful heart? What a load of crap.
I'm a prince. How come I've never heard of any of this?
As far as I know, Super Saiyans are the most powerful warriors in the universe!
And Super Saiyans are violent and ruthless.
Your explanation is completely different from what I know about Super Saiyans!
After Vegeta left, Nappa's eyes shifted. Then he suddenly broke into a bright smile.
"Let's put the Super Saiyan business aside for now. It's time for the next activity: a game." Nappa grinned.
"What game are we playing?" Raditz asked with a mysterious grin.
"Space travel is boring, so of course we need to find something to do," Nappa said with a smile. "A long time ago, there was a really fun game called Eat Sleep Beat Doudou."
"That sounds fun!" Raditz nodded vigorously.
"What else can you do on a spaceship? Apart from eating and sleeping, all that's left is beating Doudou. Am I right?" Nappa smiled mysteriously.
"Exactly," Raditz agreed.
Soya and the other two said nothing.
It seemed the other two, including Carnegie, had a bad feeling about this too.
They really wanted to object, but Nappa was too powerful, and they didn't dare say much.
"Then it's settled!" Nappa said cheerfully, looking at Soya and the other three. "There are six of us in total. We'll take the two strongest out of the draw, and the remaining four will draw lots to decide who gets to be Doudou! Then we'll beat that Doudou for fun today! Simple rules. Any objections?"
Soya: "..."
