"Gohan, what are you doing? School's out. You've been asleep this whole time."

"This won't do. Classes are over, and since you don't live close by, you need to head home quickly!"

Gohan lifted his head and looked around, his expression dazed. He remembered being at home, catching up on the Dragon Ball Super anime.

He had just reached the end of the Tournament of Power, and somehow, upon waking up, he had arrived in the world of Dragon Ball.

And he was at school?

Wait!

He glanced at his attire and immediately realized he had transmigrated into Waste Gohan!

And not just any version, but Gohan in his youth—the mama's boy phase?

That meant he had just mastered Super Saiyan 1 and had already experienced the peak Super Saiyan 2 transformation after the battle with Cell?

Unfortunately, the enemies to come were far beyond what the Super Saiyan 2 form could handle.

Especially since, as a model student who reported to school every day, there was no way he would comprehend Super Saiyan 3. His later power-ups would rely entirely on the Old Supreme Kai unlocking his potential.

Ultimate Gohan was his absolute peak!

But even then, he still couldn't defeat the upcoming Majin Buu; the difference in combat power was simply incomparable!

A headache set in instantly. He never expected to become Gohan, especially right before a global crisis.

Right now, his cheapskate father, Kakarot, was still wandering around in Hell.

Forced to face reality, Gohan stood up and adjusted to his body, feeling that the power within it was actually quite impressive.

In truth, Gohan's constitution had always been the most outstanding; he was inherently a cut above the average Saiyan, rivaling his father.

It was a pity that, due to a lack of training, he eventually couldn't even keep up with his own juniors, like Gotenks.

It was truly pathetic!

He didn't want to live such a pathetic life. Since he had transmigrated as Gohan, he had to work hard to strengthen himself.

As for being a scholar and conducting academic research, how could that possibly compare to the joy of "saving" the world?

He couldn't understand why Gohan would choose the path of a scholar; in the Dragon Ball world, might makes right!

If the world is about to be destroyed, what use is academic research?

"Alright, time to start strengthening myself. I have to at least comprehend Super Saiyan 3 or Super Saiyan 4."

"Unfortunately, finding the Old Supreme Kai on my own is too difficult. Without Goku's Instant Transmission, I'll have to ask Bulma for help if I want to reach other planets!"

He sighed incessantly, realizing that being a Saiyan on Earth was truly troublesome.

Furthermore, he didn't even know where his father, Goku, was in Hell; he couldn't contact him at all.

Just as he was thinking all this, a voice rang out beside his ear.

"Binding successful. Obtained the Lottery Enhancement System!"

Gohan looked at the system he had acquired, his eyes lighting up. He truly hadn't expected to get something like this.

This was simply too awesome!

Host: Gohan System: Lottery Enhancement System Attempts: 2 (100% ability enhancement grants one lottery chance) Abilities: Super Saiyan 1 (100%), Super Saiyan 2 (100%)

If an ability is enhanced to 100%, I get a lottery chance?

Because his two transformations, Super Saiyan 1 and 2, were already considered fully mastered—100% Saiyan output capability—that was why he had received two lottery chances.

He hadn't expected to get two chances right off the bat, and he beamed with joy.

He just hoped to draw a useful skill.

"Give me Instant Transmission. As long as I have Instant Transmission, I can go find the Old Supreme Kai and unlock my potential immediately!"

Full of anticipation, he used both lottery chances directly, hoping for an instant win.

Once he had it, he could go find the Old Supreme Kai, boost his power, and surpass Majin Buu in one go.

As long as he didn't get too cocky, defeating the first stage of Majin Buu was definitely possible!

His eyes brightened as he watched the lottery wheel spin. He used both chances, and various skills flashed past.

Two abilities appeared instantly.

"Obtained Destructo Disc, a killer move that ignores enemy defense!"

Wasn't this Krillin's strongest signature move? This ability was actually quite good; after all, it ignored defense.

Back in the day, Krillin, with only a few hundred thousand in combat power, had managed to threaten the mighty Frieza, who had millions!

It counted as a useful ability.

He just hoped the second draw would be even more useful than this one.

"Obtained: Ultra Instinct, the introductory technique of the angels and gods."

Hm?

This second lottery ability truly caught Gohan off guard; he had actually drawn the strongest ability right out of the gate: Ultra Instinct.

He remembered that this was the form Goku used to transform into a White Saiyan, which was even more powerful than Super Saiyan Blue!

With this ability, he could instantly obliterate Majin Buu!

This was simply too exhilarating!

As he pondered this, he glanced at the acquired ability and was surprised to find that Ultra Instinct actually came with a development progress bar.

Ultra Instinct: Comprehension progress 0.01%, increases combat power by 1 million!

Are you kidding me? A mere 0.01% progress only adds 1 million in combat power? What use is 1 million combat power?

Transforming into a Super Saiyan pushes combat power into the tens of millions, even over a hundred million.

Without a baseline of at least a hundred million, it wasn't even worth looking at!

He realized that once this thing was in his hands, he would truly need to hone it through training, and he would only be able to draw the next ability once this one reached 100% progress.

It seemed he had no choice but to diligently train the skill he had acquired; otherwise, this 0.01% was as useless as a chicken rib.

Reflecting on all this, Gohan left the school. It was already evening, and he wanted to get back early.

But just as he reached the school gates, before he could even use his Flight Technique to fly home, a girl with braided hair and a cold, pretty little face stepped up to him.

"Gohan, have you heard about the City Superhero business these past few days? Hmph, don't even think about brushing me off."

"I recall that you live up in the mountains; how is it that you're never late for school? What is the real reason?"

Videl stood with her hands on her hips, staring him down with a look of intense scrutiny.

Her round little face was indeed quite cute; Videl in her student days, with her long hair, was truly adorable.

He remembered that Gohan had acted as the City Superhero a few times, helping to clean up criminals and uphold justice, but he really didn't have that much time to be bored.

With a calm expression, he looked over and said indifferently, "Videl, are you waiting for me here?"

"Did you come here specifically to wait for me? Do you have a crush on me?"

Faced with Gohan's teasing expression, the arrogant look on Videl's face vanished instantly, and her round little face flushed bright red.

Blushing, she began to stammer an explanation.

"That's not it! I, I, I just happened to be passing by!"

"You, you stop spouting nonsense!"

Seeing her blushing and stuttering, she was actually quite cute.

Gohan chuckled, raised a hand, and pointed behind her. "Look, Satan is already here to pick you up!"

Videl's expression shifted, and she immediately turned her head. "Dad?"

But when she looked back, she didn't see a soul. When she finally regained her senses, she realized that Gohan had already left.

He had vanished before her eyes in the blink of an eye, leaving her completely unable to track his energy.

Clenching her fists, Videl felt deeply unwilling and said indignantly, "Gohan, how dare you lie to me! Hmph, you just wait."

"I will definitely expose your true identity!"

At this moment.

Gohan, who had taken to the sky, had other matters to attend to and really didn't have the leisure to deal with Videl.

Although Videl was indeed cute in her student days, Majin Buu was about to be resurrected.

The most important thing now was to strengthen himself.

Beyond Majin Buu, there was also the great Golden Frieza; he didn't have much time left as Gohan.

His training had fallen far behind many others, and he needed to make up for it.

Having obtained Ultra Instinct, he naturally had to practice it more; this was an ability that even Goku hadn't mastered yet.

"I need to strengthen Ultra Instinct now, ideally reaching 100%. If I can hit 100%, never mind Majin Buu—even a God of Destruction would be a fight I could handle."

Feeling a stir of energy within his body, Gohan curled his lip and released his full energy. In that instant, he clearly felt his body flooded with power, but unfortunately, this energy was minuscule.

It was like a faint breeze; if one didn't pay close attention, it would be hard to notice.

Moreover, his hair hadn't turned white; this was clearly an undeveloped Ultra Instinct, and the boost to his power was far too limited.

After all, a mere 1 million in combat power added to his current body was simply not enough to be worth mentioning!

"It's not even at 1%, so it's only natural that my combat power hasn't increased!"

"What I need to do now is practice more and let my body adapt to this ability!"

He discovered that this current of energy was still difficult to control; it would require training to master it properly. Right now, if he wasn't careful, the swirling energy could simply vanish.

Controlling it required an immense amount of mental focus.

Therefore, training this technique was quite mentally exhausting!

Instead of heading straight home, he quickly found a suitable location, and upon landing, he sensed someone's presence.

The person had followed him the entire way; it was obvious they were observing him from the shadows.

As for who it was, he didn't even need to think about it. Since he happened to be lacking a training partner, he spoke toward the sky without any nonsense.

"Uncle Piccolo, you've been following me the whole way. Why don't you come out now and be my training partner? I want to practice a skill I just comprehended!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a figure appeared in the air—it was none other than the "full-time" nanny, Piccolo.

Sure enough, he had been following him from the very beginning, staying by his side the whole time.

As a nanny, Piccolo was certainly very dedicated!

Moreover, no one actually knew whether Piccolo was male or female; it was said that Namekians were hermaphroditic.

They could reproduce offspring on their own, so Piccolo was indeed quite competent as a nanny!

Piccolo swept a glance over the very different-looking Gohan before him, though he didn't think too much of it.

He simply spoke directly: "Chi-Chi has been waiting at home for a long time. Are you sure you aren't going back now? If you get scolded, I can't help you!"
