A Saiyan Naturally Suited for Ultra Instinct

Reiz turned his head and looked at Linoshi.

She was standing right beside him, in the same spot, in the same posture, as if she hadn't moved at all during these seven days and nights.

"What about you? Have you been by my side the whole time?" Reiz's heart warmed, and he asked softly.

"Oh my, I was watching you train," Linoshi actually giggled, her blue eyes curving into crescents, a hint of smugness on her face.

"Is that so?" Reiz was touched.

A warm current surged from the depths of his heart, flowing through his limbs, making his eyes sting slightly.

In his previous life, Reiz had pursued the campus belle.

He brought her breakfast every day, waited for her outside her dormitory rain or shine, and could fulfill almost any request she had.

He thought his sincerity could earn her response, that enough effort would move her.

However, the campus belle eventually politely rejected him, using the excuse of needing to study.

The sun was bright that day, but his heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

After being reborn into the Dragon Ball World, Reiz had long decided not to get into relationships anymore.

After all, there were many beautiful women with distinct personalities in the Dragon Ball World.

For example, Bulma, Android 18, Videl...

Any one of them was more beautiful than the campus belle from his past life.

He thought he could remain calm, focus on training, and carve out a place for himself in this world.

Now, Reiz was moved by this probationary female Angel before him.

She had accompanied him for seven days and nights without a single complaint.

Not just by his side, but truly watching him, guarding him, never leaving.

If, in this life, I can protect this girl well...

The problem is, she's an Angel!

Does she need my protection?

Reiz felt a wave of emotion, and decided not to think about such complicated matters.

If I want to protect her, I can only become stronger than her!

"Are you hungry?" Linoshi smiled sweetly, suddenly pointing to a spot on his left. "I learned from you and made a roast whole lamb. It's still warm, perfect for eating."

Reiz turned his head to look in that direction and indeed saw a roast whole lamb.

The lamb was on a simple spit, its golden-brown skin glistening with oil.

Moreover, Linoshi had thoughtfully placed charcoal underneath the roast lamb to maintain its heat and temperature.

Reiz was indeed hungry.

After all, Reiz hadn't eaten anything for seven days and nights.

He hadn't felt it while training, but now that he saw food, the hunger surged like a tide, and his stomach cramped with emptiness.

"Thank you," Reiz quickly said, feeling even more touched.

If only this girl were my girlfriend.

Such a cute, kind, and beautiful Angel.

He looked at Linoshi's delicate face, at the light shimmering in her blue eyes, at the gentle smile on her lips, and his heart involuntarily quickened.

"But I'm not sure if my cooking is good," Linoshi lowered her head again, a little embarrassed, rubbing her battle suit with her fingers, her voice tinged with apprehension.

"It doesn't matter," Reiz smiled and strode towards the roast whole lamb.

They walked together to the roast lamb.

Reiz casually grabbed a leg of lamb and tore it off with force.

The lamb leg was roasted to a golden brown, its skin crispy and steaming hot.

He turned and offered the leg to Linoshi.

"You eat it, I'm not hungry," Linoshi gently waved her hand and took a small step back.

"Okay," Reiz nodded and didn't stand on ceremony.

Indeed, Angels don't get hungry; they eat only for the enjoyment of food.

Reiz picked up the roast lamb leg and brought it to his nose to smell.

It smelled quite fragrant, similar to how it smelled when he roasted it before.

He relaxed, opened his mouth, and took a big, satisfying bite.

However, with that one bite, Reiz choked, almost spitting out the meat.

The taste exploded in his mouth, assaulting his taste buds.

When you said it might not be good... were you serious?

It wasn't just unpalatable; it was downright disgusting!

Reiz nearly burst into tears.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the worst roasted meat Reiz had ever eaten since transmigrating.

The skin looked golden and crispy, but biting into it felt like chewing wax; it was completely devoid of the savory flavor lamb should have.

The seasoning was far too heavy, salty to the point of bitterness, with a strange, astringent aftertaste—as if it were both undercooked and overdone at the same time.

"Is it not good?" Linoshi asked hurriedly, taken aback by the expression on Reiz's face.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her blue eyes were filled with concern and a hint of nervousness.

"It's... it's alright." Reiz's mouth twitched as he replied, caught between laughter and tears.

As for the lamb in his mouth, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to spit it out.

Linoshi had put so much effort into roasting this whole lamb; not eating at least a little to show appreciation would be a disservice to the seven days and seven nights she had spent by his side.

He chewed with great effort and managed to swallow it down.

"Is it really alright? Did I manage to capture even a fraction of your essence?" Linoshi asked with excitement, her blue eyes sparkling as she looked at him with full anticipation.

"It's still a bit off..." Reiz replied, feeling helpless.

Then, Reiz took a few more bites of the roasted lamb leg.

He tried his best not to taste it, simply gulping it down whole.

As he ate, Reiz felt as if there were a mouthful of ash.

He licked his teeth with his tongue and nearly broke down in tears.

The inside was burnt to a crisp!

It had turned into ash!

Black charcoal was mixed into the meat, crumbling into powder the moment he chewed, filling his mouth with that bitter, burnt flavor.

This was truly speechless!

Was Linoshi using Angel power to roast this whole lamb?

Whatever!

Better to fill his stomach first!

Reiz forced himself to swallow the meat, ash and all.

Damn it...

This was really scratching his throat!

The rough charcoal scraped against his throat, leaving an itchy sensation, as if he had swallowed a handful of sand.

Good thing he had been reborn as a Saiyan!

If he were an ordinary Earthling, eating this might have made him fall deathly ill.

"By the way, regarding my training this time, how much longer do you think it will take for me to reach the entry level of Ultra Instinct?" Reiz asked with a solemn expression, trying to divert his attention away from the strange taste in his mouth.

"Just a little bit more! You'll be able to enter the threshold!" Linoshi was genuinely happy for Reiz, a brilliant smile blooming on her face.

"That fast?" Reiz was instantly excited, his eyes lighting up.

"Yes, yes... I never expected you to be naturally gifted for Ultra Instinct!" Linoshi said happily, jumping lightly on the spot in her excitement. "Aside from our family, no one has ever been able to master this skill! If my father knew, he would definitely be very happy!"

"Huh? Your father... didn't you say your father had already died in battle?" Reiz tried hard not to laugh, but he almost couldn't hold it back.

He stifled his laughter, watching Linoshi, wanting to see how she would cover up this lie.
