Taking Off the Weighted Clothing

He slowly lifted the hem of his clothes, inch by inch, pulling the neckline over his head. The Weighted Clothing was about to come off.

Suddenly!

A stuffy feeling seemed to settle over the area. The air on the Lookout was already thin, but now it felt even more oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"..."

Kami and Ausbie were startled by the tense atmosphere and couldn't help swallowing.

When Kasso had completely taken off the Weighted Clothing, his body crackled like beans scattering across the ground.

Crackle, crackle!

The heavy pressure was released. Every cell in his body leaped with joy, and Kasso felt so good he wanted to throw back his head and roar.

The power that had been suppressed for so long was like an ancient eastern dragon, long asleep. As the Weighted Clothing fell away, it awakened completely.

Rumble, rumble!

As Kasso's strength was gradually unleashed, the Lookout seemed to tremble faintly. A trace of violent energy stirred the air above, and the oppressive atmosphere that had just settled in suddenly boiled over.

An overwhelming force burst recklessly from Kasso. Terrifying energy exploded in an instant, and a huge mass of white aura completely engulfed his body, making him look like a young god of war standing in the center of the Lookout.

"So powerful!"

Kami's white mantle streamed straight behind him. The pressure from Kasso's aura nearly knocked him off his feet.

"Big Brother Kasso is so strong!" Ausbie's catlike eyes widened as she stared at him.

Popo stood motionless, expressionless.

Just then!

"Ha ha ha ha!" Kasso burst into laughter.

He clenched his fists, and the sky hummed with a sudden roar.

Even Kasso was stunned by the spectacle. He could feel an endless stream of power welling up inside him—he was more than twice as strong as he had been a month ago.

But without a Scouter, he had no way of knowing his current battle power.

"Is this what ki is?" Kasso looked at the ball of energy that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

After a month of training in "ki," he had come to understand the energy within his body as "ki."

"Big Brother Kasso, it's my turn!" Ausbie hurried forward.

At Little Biel's words, Kasso instantly dispelled the ki in his hand and withdrew his aura.

His ability to control his ki so effortlessly made it hard to believe he was a novice who had only just learned to use it!

Kami watched, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

Was this kid some kind of monster?

With no more violent energy wreaking havoc around them, the Lookout began to calm down.

Ausbie stepped into the spot where Kasso had just stood.

As the Weighted Clothing fell away—

"Ha!"

She gave a sharp cry.

The air, which had just settled, became chaotic once more.

Winds howled, and the green plants on the Lookout swayed wildly. Their leaves rubbed against one another with a rustling sound.

An incredibly terrifying aura burst from Ausbie.

Rumble!

A mass of white aura shot into the sky.

Kasso stared in surprise. "She's twice as strong as before!"

A month ago, by his estimation, Little Biel's strength had been decent at best. Now she had grown this powerful.

"Kasso, Ausbie's talent is impressive too," Kami said.

He looked at Kasso and shook his head. There was no need to mention the boy's talent—when Kasso had powered up just now, he had almost blown Kami away.

Then he turned to Ausbie. The girl might not be as talented as Kasso, but she was still more gifted than any genius he had ever seen.

Before long, Ausbie's ki reached its peak.

Even Kasso was shaken. She must have reached 6,000 in battle power, right?

"Sure enough, the Weighted Clothing really does work wonders," Kasso murmured.

If the Weighted Clothing was this effective, wouldn't the Gravity Chamber be even more incredible?

Kasso could barely contain his excitement. He had already asked Dr. Brief to build a Gravity Chamber.

Once he brought it back to Planet Sadala, the Saiyans' faces would be priceless!

At the thought, Kasso could hardly wait to return to Planet Sadala.

Suddenly!

Ausbie, standing in the center of the Lookout, dispelled the ki around her. The vortex vanished in an instant, and the trees nearby fell still.

"Big Brother Kasso, was I strong?" Ausbie hurried over, a faintly hopeful look on her little face.

All right!

I still have to praise her.

Kasso smiled helplessly.

He lifted Ausbie into his arms and said with a smile, "My Little Biel is the strongest!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Seeing them like this, Kami couldn't help laughing. He had almost forgotten that these two monsters were still just little kids.

Holding Ausbie, Kasso walked over to Kami and Popo. He had been on Earth for a while, but so far he had only done two things: first, he had asked Dr. Brief to build a Gravity Chamber; then he had gone to the Heavenly Realm to learn how to sense and control "ki."

But those weren't the only reasons he had come to Earth. He had something more important to do.

"Thank you, Kami and Mr. Popo, for taking care of us this past month!" Kasso bowed sincerely. He was getting ready to leave the Heavenly Realm.

"Thank you, Kami and Mr. Popo, for taking care of us this past month!" Ausbie repeated after Kasso.

When she was done, she stuck out her tongue and smiled sheepishly.

"Are you leaving?" Kami asked.

"Mm!" Kasso said, patting Ausbie on the head.

"See you again sometime!"

Kami didn't know what else to say. A month ago, the two of them had suddenly arrived on Earth. Their auras had been so overwhelming that his heart had nearly leaped out of his chest.

But after spending time with them and talking with them, he had realized that the two little monsters weren't wicked demons at all. On the contrary, they were rather innocent.

Now that they were leaving, he had no idea when he would see them again.

"Goodbye."

Kasso waved twice at Kami and Popo.

Ausbie copied him, waving twice as well.

With that, the two of them burst into white auras and soared into the sky, plunging down from the Heavenly Realm below.

As Kasso left, Popo watched him with a strange look in his eyes.

But no one noticed!

Two streaks of white light crossed the sky.

A fat cat stood on Korin Tower. It saw the two streaks heading straight toward it.

"What are those two doing here?" Korin wondered. Shouldn't they be in the Heavenly Realm, learning to control their "ki"?

Had they already learned?

Korin shook his head, thinking it was impossible. He had never seen anyone learn to sense and control "ki" in just one month.

Still, when the two little kids flew over, Korin wasn't as terrified as he had been the first time he saw them. From Kami's message, he knew they weren't evil.

When Korin first heard this, he had found it unbelievable. From the auras the two had revealed, he could sense the extremely violent energy within them. How could they possibly be good people?

Korin was surprised, but he trusted Kami's words.
