Teaching Bulma

Time passed quickly, and half a month slipped by.

During these two weeks, Tights left home, saying she had found inspiration and needed to find a quiet place to focus on her writing.

Kasso found it hard to judge Tights for her ideas; everyone has dreams, just like himself. He had once fantasized about transmigrating into the Dragon Ball world, and who would have thought that it would actually come true!

But in the anime, he knew that the novels Tights wrote weren't very popular. It wasn't until she met that guy Jaco and used stories from outside the universe as material that her writing started to pick up.

This day, in the courtyard.

"Watch your posture, don't fidget!" Kasso pointed at Bulma's little butt.

Bulma was holding a horse stance, sweat beads constantly rolling down her small face. Hearing Kasso's words, she lifted her sagging bottom back up.

Kasso curled his lip; the physique of Earthlings was truly pathetic.

However, if he wanted to teach Bulma to cultivate "ki," he had to get her body in shape first, just like Master Roshi did when training Krillin and Goku. Without a strong physique, it was impossible to sense or store "ki."

In the Buu Saga, it was the same when Gohan taught Videl. The only difference was that Videl had been training since she was young and had Satan's financial support, so her physique was naturally better. Plus, being a little genius herself, it was easy for her to cultivate "ki."

Bulma's situation was different from Videl's; not only was she young, but she had also been a pampered little princess since childhood.

To cultivate "ki."

One word.

Difficult!

But fortunately, there were Senzu Bean to rely on, Kasso smiled.

For the past half month, he had put Bulma through devilish training. He made her get up before dawn, hold a horse stance for an hour every day, run with weights for an hour...

There were a few times he felt Bulma was about to collapse, but luckily, with a Senzu Bean, a single bean would make her lively and energetic again.

Then, Bulma would continue to endure the inhuman torture.

So much so that now, Bulma felt a bit of fear whenever she saw Kasso. However, for the sake of flying, she was giving it her all; having come this far, it was impossible for her to give up.

To be honest, seeing this, Kasso found it incredibly surreal. In his impression, Bulma was just a spoiled little princess who, back when she was searching for the Dragon Ball, only wanted a handsome boyfriend.

He never expected that the current Bulma could endure such horrific torture!

"Keep holding that horse stance, I'll be right back," Kasso said indifferently.

Placing his fingers on his forehead, he vanished from the spot.

Seeing Kasso suddenly disappear, Bulma was no longer surprised, as he had been vanishing for periods of time every few days over the past half month.

She shook her head and continued holding her horse stance.

"Finally found the seventh Dragon Ball!" Kasso found a Dragon Ball inside a castle.

Half a month ago, he had first found the first Dragon Ball in the storage room of Bulma's house, and after a few trips out, he had now collected all seven Dragon Balls.

As he looked at the Dragon Ball in his hand, he suddenly heard noisy voices coming from downstairs.

"Are the Dragon Balls hidden properly?"

"Please rest assured, King Pilaf, they are already hidden in the secret room on the second floor!"

These voices reached Kasso's ears, and he chuckled. So, this Dragon Ball belonged to those little runts, Pilaf and his crew.

Kasso knew that the Dragon Balls these guys collected were always for someone else; they were pure wage slaves. It wasn't until Dragon Ball GT that they actually made a wish, but that wish...

Emm...

That wish was simply too painful to watch!

Ignoring them, Kasso activated Instant Transmission and left the place.

Returning to the courtyard of Bulma's house.

Bulma was still gritting her teeth, holding her horse stance.

"This little girl is actually quite impressive!"

Kasso nodded. Bulma's performance truly refreshed his perspective and completely updated his understanding of her.

"Bulma, come here."

"Okay."

Bulma sat on the ground; holding the horse stance for an hour had nearly exhausted her.

But it had to be said, after being abused by Kasso for half a month, Bulma felt she had become much stronger. She could even lift the hundred-pound experimental machines in the house with one hand.

It was precisely because she saw results that Bulma kept going; otherwise, she would have given up long ago!

"Are you going to teach me how to fly now?" Bulma struggled to stand up from the ground, walked to Kasso's side, and looked at him with glowing eyes.

Kasso: "..."

She wanted to fly after only a month of training?

Kasso said indifferently: "I'll teach you how to sense the power within your body first."

Actually, flying wasn't difficult; one just needed enough energy in their body. Just like the Saiyan, they didn't originally know how to use "ki," but with enough powerful energy to support them, they could fly easily.

As for comprehending "ki," that would depend entirely on her own fortune.

He himself had only managed to grasp "ki" after a grueling month of arduous training.

Kasso thought to himself.

Following this, he had Bulma sit on the ground, and a white orb of energy manifested in his hand.

The moment the energy orb appeared, a powerful gale swept through the entire courtyard, causing the surrounding trees to rustle and sway violently.

Dr. Brief and his wife heard the commotion and rushed over immediately, but upon seeing Kasso instructing Bulma, they quickly retreated from the courtyard.

It was clear that both of them were aware of Bulma's training.

"Remember this feeling!"

Kasso tossed the energy orb toward her, and in a flash, it swiftly enveloped Bulma.

In truth, Kasso didn't really know how to teach this; one had to realize that to fly through the sky, aside from comprehending "ki," one needed to possess a vast amount of energy within the body.

However, Kasso didn't believe Bulma could achieve that, so he could only let her sense the existence of "ki" first and see if she might one day comprehend it on her own.

As the energy orb flew over and Bulma was shrouded in the white mist, she felt a wave of warmth wash over her body, as if she were soaking in a hot spring with the perfect temperature during winter. The soreness from holding her horse stance vanished, and she felt so comfortable she nearly cried out.

"So comfortable!"

Yet, even as she felt this comfort, she did not forget Kasso's words.

She had to remember this feeling!

Bulma quickly calmed down, immersing her entire mind and body into sensing the energy orb.

Kasso did not disturb her, letting Bulma comprehend it on her own; this was a process no one could help her with.

Glancing back once, Kasso then vanished from the courtyard.

On the other side of the yard.

A black metal building stood here, and from time to time, the sounds of intense training could be heard from within.

"Hah!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Kasso appeared in front of the Gravity Chamber, and upon hearing the sounds from inside, he called out, "Little Biel, I'm taking you to see something interesting!"
