New Mission

Bulma picked up her phone and called Chi-Chi, telling her that Gohan was at her house and that she should come over immediately.

"Gohan was with Piccolo. I brought him back when I went to find Piccolo. Gohan has immense potential, and I want to train him."

Gogito stated her intentions.

"But Chi-Chi won't agree to that."

Bulma understood Chi-Chi well; she knew Chi-Chi would never consent, as she wanted Gohan to become a great scholar.

"Don't worry, I have a way."

Gogito looked confident; he had a plan to make Chi-Chi agree.

This was because the system had issued another mission.

Mission: Train Gohan and turn him into a qualified warrior.
Reward: Mystic Form.
Penalty: Loss of all Super Saiyan transformations.

Looking at it this way, the mission was somewhat difficult, as getting past Chi-Chi would be tough, and Gohan's dream was to become a great scholar.

However, why was Gogito so confident?

Because the system had unlocked a new function: time travel, which allowed for bringing others along.

As long as he took Gohan and Chi-Chi to the future timeline, or the timeline of Cell, he believed that Chi-Chi would not only stop hindering Gohan's training but would actively supervise it. In the future timeline, humanity had been nearly wiped out by the Androids; it was practically hell on earth.

Gohan was still very young, and the outside world had a significant impact on him. In the original story, Chi-Chi raised him alone, and Gohan rarely interacted with others; he studied at home and didn't even have a single friend his own age. You have to realize, in modern society, such a child could easily become a problem youth, yet Gohan hadn't. This proved that Chi-Chi's upbringing was excellent and that Gohan himself was truly exceptional.

If Gohan kept training, those future enemies would be in for a miserable time.

"Madam, dinner is served."

At that moment, a servant entered and said.

"Let's go eat first. Gohan has been surviving in the wild for so long; he hasn't had a delicious meal in a while, right?"

Gogito said to Gohan.

Gohan was still a bit dazed, having suddenly arrived at Aunt Bulma's house.

But the temptation of gourmet food kept him from overthinking it; he just wanted to enjoy a big meal right now.

At the dining table, Gohan and Gogito were devouring their food, leaving everyone else stunned. Only Tights remained calm; having been with Gogito for so long, she had developed an immunity to it.

After eating their fill, Gogito and Gohan sprawled out on the sofa.

"Ugh, so full!"

The two said in unison.

Then, Gogito spoke up again.

"Gohan."

"Hmm?"

"Have you ever thought about training seriously?"

"My dream is to become a great scholar."

"Practicing martial arts doesn't mean you can't be a scholar, and being a scholar doesn't mean you can't practice martial arts. The two don't conflict."

"Learning martial arts also requires cultivating the heart, and study is just one part of that."

These concepts were still too complex for little Gohan, and he couldn't grasp them yet.

Gogito saw Gohan's confusion and added, "You're still young. Once you experience a few things later on, you'll understand."

Gohan nodded, half-understanding.

Just then, Chi-Chi rushed into Bulma's house. As soon as she entered, she saw Gohan lying on the sofa. She ran to his side like a madwoman, picked him up, and checked him over from left to right.

"My Gohan! Are you okay? Goku is dead; you can't let anything happen to you too!"

Chi-Chi held Gohan and wailed.

Ox-King followed behind, trying to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, isn't Gohan perfectly fine?"

"It's all that guy Piccolo's fault for taking Gohan away for so long! If Gogito hadn't brought him back, I don't know when I would have seen him again. This time, I won't let anyone take Gohan away, no matter what!"

Chi-Chi's eyes blazed with fire as she spoke angrily.

However, Gogito said, "I brought Gohan back specifically to train him. Gohan's potential is immense, and I believe he can become a great warrior."

"What?! No! I won't let Gohan do such dangerous things! His future is to become a great scholar. Goku was enough for dangerous things like fighting!"

Hearing that Gogito also wanted to train Gohan, Chi-Chi shouted excitedly.

Gogito said helplessly, "Chi-Chi, you must understand that the enemies to come will only grow stronger. Goku has already fallen in battle; do you truly want to watch Gohan die before your eyes in the future? The only way to prevent such a tragedy is to make Gohan stronger than anyone else."

Chi-Chi could no longer listen to a word of it; she only wanted to take Gohan home. She scooped Gohan up into her arms, turned, and walked away.

Gogito knew that persuading Chi-Chi would not be an overnight success, so he did not stop her as she left.

Deciding to let Chi-Chi cool off for a few days, Gogito prepared to head to the Lookout to guide Krillin and the others first.

Early the next morning, after finishing breakfast, Gogito arrived at the Lookout.

"Yo, everyone's here."

Gogito greeted Krillin and the others, and Krillin waved back. "Morning, Gogito."

Piccolo wore a sour expression and remained silent; it seemed he was still holding a grudge over Gogito taking Gohan away.

"So, are you all ready to enter the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?" Gogito asked.

"Piccolo is going in alone first, then Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu, followed by me and Yamcha," Krillin replied.

"Piccolo alone? In that case, I'll go in with you," Gogito said, flashing over to pat Piccolo on the shoulder.

"Hm?! So fast!" Piccolo was instantly startled.

"Suit yourself," Piccolo huffed coldly.

"Then let's go."

"Mr. Popo, please take us there," Gogito said to Mr. Popo.

The group followed Mr. Popo to a doorway, and Mr. Popo pointed at the door. "The Hyperbolic Time Chamber is behind this door."

Gogito and Piccolo pushed the door open and stepped inside. Once the door closed, Piccolo realized he could no longer sense the ki of Krillin and the others.

The two walked outside and looked around; a vast, endless expanse of white stretched before them. Gogito walked into an area with four times the gravity and felt it carefully, but he felt nothing at all.

Piccolo followed him out, but suddenly stumbled and fell flat on his face.

"The gravity here is four times that of the outside world, and the air is one-fourth as dense. It is perfect for your training," Gogito explained.

Outside, Krillin and the others waited.

"How long do you think Piccolo and Gogito will last in there?" Yamcha suddenly asked.

"Mr. Popo said Goku only stayed for a month when he was a kid. Piccolo can definitely stay longer; I bet he can manage three months," Krillin replied.

Tien Shinhan added, "I can't read Gogito, but in my perception, he is unfathomable."

"That's right. Gogito feels like a bottomless pit to me; the more I try to sense him, the more terrifying he becomes," Krillin agreed.

At this, Yamcha said, "If Gogito is so powerful, why don't we just rely on him when the Saiyans arrive?"

"We've only just met him; we can't just ask for his help. If we could rely on Gogito, why would he want us to train so hard? He might leave after a while, and the Earth still needs us to protect it," Krillin explained to Yamcha.

Tien Shinhan countered, "Relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. If you have to depend on someone else every time a crisis arises, what is the point of all your training? You might as well go home and wait to die."

Yamcha was rendered speechless by the retort, left only to scratch his head and offer an awkward, bitter smile.
