Angels Do Not Lie

"Let me see," Cus said.

Vegeta didn't think much of it and handed the communicator in his hand to Cus.

Cus took the communicator and pretended to examine it carefully.

"Oh my, oh my... It is indeed broken," Cus nodded, acting as if it were a serious matter.

"Fix it," Vegeta said.

"Well... even if I fix it, you'll only be able to communicate with me," Cus lied, explaining, "Because this device carries Angel power, and Vados's Angel power accidentally leaked out, which is why you couldn't contact her. If I repair it, I can only infuse it with my own Angel power, so from now on, I'm the only one you'll be able to reach."

Vegeta wore a look of doubt.

Do you take me for a fool?

Angel power can just leak out?

Is Angel power really that easy to leak?

"Look, there's a crack here. You probably cracked it by accident when you released your energy," Cus gently tapped a crack into the surface with her finger and pointed it out to Vegeta.

Vegeta leaned in to take a look.

Sure enough, there was a crack that was hard to notice.

"Angels do not lie," Cus smiled.

"Is Angel power that easy to leak? Even if it were filled with water, could it all leak out so quickly through such a small crack?" Vegeta asked, half-believing.

"Oh my, you can think of Angel power as highly compressed energy. In such a sealed container, once a crack appears, the internal pressure is so high that the Angel power will rapidly dissipate and vanish," Cus said with a convincing air.

Vegeta understood.

It felt a bit like a gas tank.

Once a small crack appeared, the liquefied gas inside would immediately leak out and evaporate in a short time.

"Forget it, just fix it. Changing it to your contact information is fine too; it might come in handy later," Vegeta replied.

"Mr. Vegeta is on our planet, and we are together every day, so there's no need to use this communicator, is there?" Cus replied with a smile.

"Keep it, it'll be useful later," Vegeta said.

"Cus, why are you dragging your feet?" Rumsshi, standing to the side, couldn't listen anymore.

Just give him the communicator.

Avoid making this guy suspicious.

"Alright, I'll fix it for you." Cus nodded slightly, covering Vados's Angel power with her own and repairing the crack in the process.

Afterward, Cus handed the communicator back to Vegeta.

Vegeta pressed the button on the communicator.

"Cus, are you there?" Vegeta said.

Then, Vegeta saw the staff in Cus's hand flash a few times.

Cus: "..."

I am right next to you!

Are you asking if I'm there?

"Cus, say something," Vegeta said.

Cus wiped sweat away silently.

"Received," Cus had no choice but to reply helplessly.

"Hmm, I heard you. It proves this thing works quite well," Vegeta nodded in satisfaction and put the communicator away.

Cus breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She had finally managed to bluff her way through.

He shouldn't have any more suspicions, right?

"By the way, Cus, this communicator works no matter where it's placed, right?" Vegeta asked.

"Yes," Cus nodded.

"That's good," Vegeta smiled slightly.

"So? What are your plans now?" Cus asked. "Vados probably won't be able to come over for a while."

"Ask her when she's coming and give me a specific time," Vegeta replied.

"She said she doesn't have time for the next two years," Cus replied. "The Grand Minister has very important work for her to do, which might take at least two years or even longer."

Vegeta: "..."

Vegeta cursed internally, berating Vados from head to toe.

How shameless.

You're just going to leave me here like this?

That works, too.

Training is training, no matter who it's with.

Besides, this little girl Cus isn't bad to look at.

"Do you intend to stay here and keep waiting for her, or do you have other ideas?" Cus asked.

"If you ask me, why would you want to go back to Universe 6, kid? You make us delicious food, and I'll teach you the God of Destruction Technique," Rumsshi said.

"Are you serious?" Vegeta asked.

"What's there to be serious about? It's not that difficult; teaching you won't take much effort," Rumsshi huffed. "Of course, that's assuming you have decent talent. Don't make me teach you for ages only for you to learn nothing... I don't have that much patience."

"What about you, Cus? Can you teach me?" Vegeta asked, turning to her.

"I can! As long as you make us delicious food, I'll teach you," Cus stated her terms.

"Fine, it's a deal," Vegeta said. "How about this: on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I'll train with Rumsshi, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, I'll train with you, Cus. How does that sound?"

Cus: "..."

Rumsshi: "..."

"Kid, I don't think you understand the situation," Rumsshi said, annoyed. "My training path and Cus's are completely different. Cus is an Angel; she practices Ultra Instinct—no, to be precise, she was born with it! Ultra Instinct is a special technique for self-evasion. I am a God of Destruction; I practice the God of Destruction Technique, which is a highly aggressive form of destructive energy focused primarily on annihilation."

"Does that matter?" Vegeta asked calmly.

"Of course it matters! You need to have a focus," Rumsshi snorted. "If you try to grab both, you'll end up failing at both."

"Let's just do as I said for now. I want to see which one I'm better suited for," Vegeta mused.

"Kid, did you not hear a single word I said?" Rumsshi's face darkened.

This kid certainly has a mind of his own.

The problem is, having a mind of your own is one thing.

But what kind of logic is this?

Learning the God of Destruction Technique on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Learning Ultra Instinct on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

"Fine, let's give it a try," Cus said, winking at Rumsshi.

Rumsshi said nothing more.

We're only doing this for the food anyway.

If you want to try, then try.

Actually, this is fine.

Teaching you every other day is less of a hassle than teaching you every single day.

"And what about Sunday?" Cus asked with a smile.

"I'm resting on Sunday," Vegeta replied. "You have to learn to balance work and rest when it comes to training. If you just train blindly without resting, I think you're only making your body suffer."

"When do you plan to start?" Cus asked.

"What day is tomorrow?" Vegeta inquired.
