Then, Saigo used up all six of his remaining simulations.
First, he selected the skill—Ki Control (68/100).
Second, he chose the skill—Ki Sense (50/100).
For the third through sixth simulations, he chose battle power rewards each time, increasing his total battle power by 5,700.
Saigo looked at the information on the system panel and was quite satisfied.

Saigo had disliked how much information the original race and gender fields contained, so he tried deleting them. To his surprise, it actually worked.
Saigo quite liked this thoughtful design.
Afterward, Saigo went to sleep with a full belly.
While sleeping, he had a dream. In it, he not only became the king of the Saiyans but also married several wives.
Just as his dream reached its most exciting part, he was suddenly jolted awake.
Saigo was furious about it.
Seeing Saigo drooling, the two nursery attendants assumed he was hungry and hurriedly handed him a bottle of pale-white nutrient fluid.
"Lord Saigo, are you hungry? Have some of this. We'll go eat together in a bit."
Saigo shot the two of them a sideways glance, then skillfully took the bottle and drank. Since he could drink it even in his simulations, the taste couldn't be that hard to stomach.
He smacked his lips a few times, thinking to himself:
Tsk!
A little fishy!
It's probably either human milk or animal milk!
The Saiyans weren't exactly known for cooking up delicious food. Otherwise, Beerus wouldn't have been so furious that he was on the verge of wiping them out.
As he drank the "nutrient fluid," Saigo noticed one of the nursery attendants leaving. Before going, the two had murmured to each other by the door. They were too far away for him to hear what they said, but he did notice the attendant glance at him before leaving.
That made Saigo wary. He figured it had to be something concerning him, so he immediately went over to question the attendant who had stayed behind.
"Hey! What's my battle power now?"
"Huh? Oh, Lord Saigo, your battle power is 1,000 now. That's 34 higher than yesterday and 100 higher than when you were first placed in the nursery."
Saigo nodded to himself. The figures were about what he had expected and matched the results in his simulations. He asked, "Why did that person suddenly leave?"
"My lord, he went to report on your condition to King Vegeta. After all, aside from Prince Vegeta, you were born with the highest battle power among the Elite Warriors."
Saigo raised an eyebrow at that. "All right. I understand. Go about your business."
"Yes, my lord. Please get some rest."
Saigo waved absently and walked back on his own.
King Vegeta shouldn't be that petty, should he?
Broly had been born with a battle power of 10,000—that was a genuine threat. But I was born with only 900, and now I've reached 1,000 after being raised. Isn't that perfectly normal?!
No good!
I need to run a simulation!
Saigo didn't dare waste time. He brought up the system panel in front of the other little kids, and when he saw that they couldn't see it, he breathed a sigh of relief and started the simulation.
[March 2: One of the nursery attendants glanced at you several times before leaving. What you saw him discussing with the other attendant made you uneasy. Clever as you are, you realized that Prince Vegeta had been born with a battle power of 1,000, while yours was only 900. King Vegeta couldn't possibly target you. Though you very much wanted to escape, you knew it wouldn't work, and you were certain your guess was right! After anxiously waiting, the other nursery attendant finally returned. You saw that nobody else had come with him, and at last, you felt relieved!]
Saigo's eye twitched as he read this. He cursed inwardly: Where did you get that confidence, man?!
If something seems wrong, hurry up and steal a spaceship and get out of here! With a battle power over 6,000, are you really worried you can't steal one?
That guy in the simulation definitely isn't me!
Still, if King Vegeta didn't care, then he could relax and keep a low profile!
Saigo felt relieved, too, and continued reading.
[...You followed the nursery attendant to check how many of your peers had Elite Warrior potential and what their current battle powers were. You discovered that among the 15 children in this nursery, you were the only one with Elite Warrior potential. There were two mid-class warriors, and the other 17 were all low-class warriors! And among those 17 low-class warriors was King Vegeta's youngest son—Tarble! His battle power was only 180!]
[At noon, after the 20 Saiyans had eaten their fill, the nursery attendant took them to the training camp. Relying on your superior strength, you easily defeated all your peers. You deliberately fought slowly to improve your combat skills! In the end, you got what you wanted: the right to live alone and an exemption from training! To avoid revealing your abilities, you followed the instructor to the familiar private quarters! You entered, closed the door, and trained! You didn't dare stop for even a moment! You trained until late at night before finally completing that day's training. When you checked with your Scouter, you found that your battle power had increased by 50, so you happily washed up and went to sleep.]
[March 3: You trained hard. Battle power +50.]
[April 1: You trained hard. Battle power +50.]
[This simulation has ended!]
[Choose one of the following rewards:
1. 1,500 battle power
2. Skill—Hand-to-Hand Combat (Beginner 66/100)
3. Memories of the coming month]
After thinking it over, Saigo chose the skill.
He understood why he had been able to win in the simulation. It was simply because his battle power was much higher than everyone else's, making their movements seem as slow as snails to him. Naturally, he could win with ease!
This Hand-to-Hand Combat skill had come at just the right time!
Meanwhile.
Saiyan Royal Palace.
"His battle power reached 1,000 after being raised? He certainly has good talent!"
"Here's what you'll do: go back and tell the person in charge of this training assignment to send Saigo and Tarble together to a more remote planet after training ends! Have Saigo protect Tarble. No matter what, Tarble is still my son! Even if he is only a low-class warrior!" King Vegeta, seated on his throne, spoke unhurriedly, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, King Vegeta! I'll take care of it! I'll take my leave now!"
King Vegeta, still seated on his throne, watched the nursery attendant hurry away and murmured to himself.
"Tarble, my son, as your father, this is all I can do for you... With Saigo protecting you, at least you can grow up safely!"
"Saigo, huh?! Hmph! Two mid-class warriors actually managed to produce an Elite Warrior. That's certainly surprising! But it seems his parents died while carrying out some mission!"
"Hmph! So what if his battle power is 1,000? My son, Vegeta IV, was born with 1,000! After being raised, his battle power reached a staggering 1,800!"
"The strongest Saiyan talent will always come from the Saiyan royal bloodline!"
"Vegeta, don't disappoint your father!"
