Wearing Weighted Clothing

"If you wish to learn how to utilize ki, I can assist you," Kami said, his voice heavy.

Exchanging a glance with the aged Kami, Kasso replied calmly, "Then I thank you, Kami!"

He did not ask why Kami would help him; Kasso guessed that Kami shared the same concern as Korin—the fear that they might bring ruin to Earth.

But was that even possible?

Kami, unaware of Kasso's inner thoughts, nodded at him before stepping onto the flying carpet with Mr. Popo to return to the Lookout.

The aura Kasso had just unleashed remained etched in his mind. He had never seen such terrifying power contained within a single person; not even the energy of a planetary explosion could compare to Kasso.

If Kasso were to ravage Earth, no one would be his match. It was precisely because of this concern that Kami was doing him a favor now, hoping he would remember this gesture.

Kami was truly doing his utmost for the safety of the Earth!

Little did he know, Kami's efforts were entirely unnecessary.

"Let's go."

Kasso led Ausbie as they followed.

Watching them depart, Korin sighed with worry, "Everything is in your hands, Kami."

The altitude grew higher and the air thinner, and naturally, the vulgarity of the mortal world faded away.

As Kasso stepped onto the Lookout, he felt a profound sense of serenity. A spiritual energy seemed to permeate the surroundings, refreshing his spirit with every breath he took.

Everything about the Lookout was so familiar, identical to what he had seen in the anime.

Though, in the later story arcs, this place would repeatedly become the primary battlefield!

At this thought, Kasso shook his head slightly.

Kami asked Kasso and his companion to wait a moment, then sent Mr. Popo to retrieve something.

"I am already aware of your situation. Korin was right; your power is indeed too immense. You must suppress it significantly before you can proceed with further training," Kami said.

At that moment, Mr. Popo emerged from the building, carrying two sets of orange training gear.

"Weighted Clothing?"

Seeing the outfits in Mr. Popo's hands, the words slipped out of Kasso's mouth.

"You actually know about Weighted Clothing?" Kami asked, sounding a bit puzzled.

He had heard every word of the conversation between this young boy and Korin; he hadn't expected an alien to be familiar with such gear!

"I've looked into it," Kasso said with a smile, offering no further explanation.

Kami nodded, wise enough not to press the issue. Sometimes, asking too many questions could be off-putting, which would be counterproductive.

He instructed Kasso and Ausbie to put on the Weighted Clothing.

Kasso and Ausbie took the gear from Mr. Popo and donned it.

"So heavy!"

"So heavy!"

Both let out a muffled groan at the same time.

Kasso felt as if ninety-nine percent of his strength had been suppressed. Even back on Mumu Planet, when he carried small mountains, it hadn't felt like this; now, even taking a single step was an arduous struggle.

Was this the effect of the Weighted Clothing?

Seeing this, Kami frowned. He hadn't expected these two little ones to be terrifying to such a degree.

He knew the effects of that Weighted Clothing perfectly well; the fact that they could still stand while wearing such high-multiplier gear was astonishing!

This shocking sight left Kami unable to calm his heart for a long time.

"When you released your energy at Korin Tower, I already gained a rough understanding of your strength. Since there is a significant gap between the two of you, the Weighted Clothing you wear cannot be the same," Kami said, leaning on his cane with a sigh.

It was one thing for this little boy to be so formidable, but he hadn't expected the little girl to be just as impressive.

"Kami, you can just call me Kasso. She is Ausbie," Kasso said, gesturing toward Little Biel beside him.

?

Kami studied Kasso for a moment. Could he have overthought things?

Would this person really not bring harm to Earth?

His tone softened, becoming more casual: "Kasso, the Weighted Clothing you are wearing has an effect of 25 times gravity, while Ausbie's has an effect of 15 times gravity."

"Get used to the weight first. Once you can move normally, I will teach you what ki is."

With that, Kami walked slowly back into the Lookout; there was no point in him staying out here anyway.

"Brother Kasso, it's so heavy!" Ausbie said, her face pouting.

This was even more uncomfortable than carrying small mountains on Mumu Planet.

In her heart, she cursed that green-skinned monster Kami—why did she have to wear such heavy clothes just to train "ki"?

"Little Biel, keep it up! You said you wanted to protect your brother, didn't you?" Kasso encouraged her.

In truth, he was struggling to hold up as well, but for the sake of mastering "ki," this bit of hardship was nothing.

He recalled how Goku had followed Gohan to train since he was a child, later receiving guidance from Master Roshi, enduring great hardships to climb Korin Tower, and undergoing a series of subsequent training sessions—all of which aimed to break through the limits of the body.

Thinking of this, Kasso's gaze turned resolute; if Goku could do it, he could too!

Following this, the two began to adapt to their Weighted Clothing.

At first, they could only take one or two steps at a time, each step leaving them drenched in sweat while their bones creaked incessantly.

Half a day passed, and Kasso had barely covered half a lap. He lay sprawled on the perimeter of the Lookout, gritting his teeth as he tried to stand, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not rise.

Feeling his strength completely exhausted, he could only rest for a moment before continuing to adapt to the Weighted Clothing.

Three days passed in this manner. During these few days, the two constantly adjusted their body movements, striving to adapt to the effects of the Weighted Clothing. They would rest when tired and resume moving about the Lookout once they had recovered.

Now, the two were able to walk normally.

Seeing them walking and talking on the Lookout, Kami, who was observing from the side, was greatly astonished. In his mind, it should have taken these two children a month to walk normally!

He had not expected them to reach this level in just a few days!

Truly terrifying.

In the time that followed, Kasso and his companion seemed to have found a rhythm for adapting to the Weighted Clothing, making significant progress every day.

A week later, Kasso and Ausbie were already able to run on the Lookout.

"Brother Kasso, come and catch me!" Ausbie laughed heartily as she ran.

"You stop right there." Kasso gave chase.

Kami stood to the side, watching these two little ones as if he had seen a ghost.

"Alright, Kasso, you two come over here."

After a week of getting along, Kami had figured out the temperaments of these two brats. They were certainly not wicked or evil people; on the contrary, they were quite innocent, especially the Little Girl.

Kami felt relieved because of this.

Kasso and Ausbie ran over, the Weighted Clothing on their bodies having no effect on them at all.

"Your progress has exceeded my expectations. Your talent is truly immense!" Kami sighed in admiration.

"You flatter us, Kami." Kasso smiled.

"No, these are not mere polite words. I have truly never seen such formidable talent."

After sighing, Kami continued, "Since you have adapted to the Weighted Clothing, I will now teach you what Ki is."

"Ki is everywhere. It is contained within the human body, within the bodies of animals, and even stones and plants possess Ki."

"Because humans possess the highest intelligence among all things, and because humans possess five senses and seven emotions and six desires..."

"These existences affect our perception of Ki. Therefore, we must become as calm as the sky and as fast as lightning; only then will the training be successful."

Kasso fell into deep thought. He had known Kami's final sentence, but he had not understood why one must be as calm as the sky.

Now, he finally understood the reason.

Kasso looked at Kami with longing, wishing for Kami to teach him how to achieve this.

Kami said calmly, "Next, I will have Mr. Popo train you. He will guide you."

With that, Kami walked back into the Lookout.

At this moment, Mr. Popo appeared before the two. He stood silently in place, not saying a word.

"Brother Kasso, his skin is so strange!" Ausbie pointed at Mr. Popo.

Kasso quickly pressed Little Biel's hand down.

To be honest, he couldn't quite see through Mr. Popo. Mr. Popo always gave off a very mysterious feeling, whether in the anime or as he appeared now.

It seemed that nothing could cause Mr. Popo to experience any emotional fluctuations.

Kasso remembered that in the anime, Mr. Popo could trade blows with young Goku, and by the Buu Saga, he could even hold his own against the likes of Trunks after he had transformed into a Super Saiyan.

Truly mysterious!
