Bizarre and Strange Written Exam

Vegeta had been eliminated; this was something no one had expected, though they felt a touch of sympathy.

To have it end before it even began was truly embarrassing!

"Hey! Vegeta! You were way too impatient! How could you do that?" Goku complained.

Vegeta's expression darkened. He scoffed, "Hmph! So what? It was just a written test; I have no interest in such things!"

With that, he took flight and headed straight for the others in the spectator stands.

Naturally, he couldn't escape a lecture from Bulma. Facing the woman who could slap even a God of Destruction, Vegeta was utterly cowed; for all his arrogance, he didn't dare let out a peep!

"Now, the written test begins!" Vados suddenly commanded.

Immediately, everyone began answering the questions.

Luya glanced at the serious expressions on everyone's faces and couldn't help but find it amusing. Damn, they called this culture? It was hilarious! Anyone who had completed nine years of compulsory education could get a perfect score!

Shaking his head, Luya didn't say anything. Although his arrival had made the plot deviate from the original version, it didn't really matter!

Luya finished the paper in a few quick strokes, adding some of his own insights to the page.

Soon, time was up.

After collecting the contestants' answers, Vados carefully compared them.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed on one. She pulled out a sheet of paper and held it high. "I announce that for this written test, Universe 7 is the winner!"

Fair and square!

"Pfft!! Wh... what?! How is that possible?!" On the other side, Champa, who had been looking smug, suddenly changed color. He rushed over to Vados, dissatisfied. "Hey Vados!! Are you kidding me? How could my Universe 6 lose? The cultural level of Universe 7 is so low, how could they possibly beat my Universe 6? Are you joking? Are you a mole sent by the other side?"

"Uh... Lord Champa... I..." Vados broke into a cold sweat. Damn, she was just announcing the results; how did she end up offending this God of Destruction?

Waaah! My heart is breaking!

"Hey! You just don't want to admit it, right? Why would my Universe 7 be weaker than your Universe 6?" Beerus suddenly appeared before Vados, snatched the paper, and took a look. His eyes widened. "Oh, oh! So you can do it this way..."

"Oh?" Champa paused. Seeing Beerus's reaction made him temporarily forget his anger, and he leaned in to take a look. Immediately, his expression became fascinating.

"Whose answer is this?" Champa suddenly asked.

Luya raised his hand. "Mine!"

Champa looked at Luya, sizing him up with wide eyes. He was puzzled, but when he saw Luya's tail, he froze. "You're a Saiyan?"

Luya nodded. "Yes!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Champa's eyes. What was going on? Why were the Saiyans so cultured these days? Weren't Saiyans just a crude warrior race that only knew how to fight?

"Good! Very good! Worthy of being a Saiyan from my Universe 7! Hahaha!" Beerus immediately showered him with praise, completely forgetting his previous threats toward Luya. To him, as long as someone could save him face, anything else was fine!

Champa gritted his teeth, then slumped in defeat. "Hmph! Fine, I'll count it as a win for your Universe 7!"

As he spoke, he quietly tucked the test paper away.

Beerus looked smug.

Goku and the others cheered excitedly, showering Luya with more praise!

"The second round will be a duel between the contestants. This match will use a winner-stays-on format; once you defeat an opponent, you move on to fight the next one until someone wins the entire tournament!" the referee explained.

"One more thing: the first contestant for this match will be decided by drawing lots."

With that, the referee pulled out two bamboo tubes, each containing five bamboo sticks.

Luya raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit conflicted. In his memory, this wasn't how it happened, but he understood—his arrival must have changed the original trajectory of space-time.

"Contestants, come draw your lots. Whoever draws the number 1 will be the first to enter the ring!" the referee called out.

Goku and the others began to draw.

"Oh, oh, oh! Great! I'm first!!" Goku exclaimed in surprise, looking quite excited.

"Tch!" Vegeta glanced at Goku, then at the blank stick in his own hand, gritting his teeth!

He wanted to go first too! He hadn't expected Kakarot to have such good luck!

The first contestant for Universe 6 was Golden Bear.

The two sides stood in separate camps, staring at each other from a distance.

On the ring, Goku and Golden Bear stood less than ten meters apart, staring intently at one another.

"Since Goku is going first, then who is second?" Beerus asked indifferently.

Vegeta was about to speak, but Luya quickly cut him off. "I'll do it!"

Everyone looked at Luya. Luya smiled slightly. "Why don't I take the second round?"

"No! I'm taking the second round!" Vegeta said with a dark expression.

Luya looked at Vegeta.

Vegeta looked sour. "If Kakarot is first, then I must be second!"

Luya's expression turned strange. A phrase suddenly came to mind: the eternal second-place...

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Vegeta crossed his arms and glared at Luya.

Although Luya really wanted to teach the other party a lesson, the current situation meant he couldn't make a move yet. Since Vegeta would lose to Hit anyway, he might as well let him have it.

Consequently, Luya nodded. "Since you want to go, then I'll let you go!"

Hearing this, Vegeta was finally satisfied.

Beerus glanced at Luya without saying much, then stated, "Then Vegeta will take the second match, Luya the third, Buu the fourth, and Monaka... will go last!"

"Lord Beerus, I'm afraid Buu can't participate in the tournament. He fell asleep during the written test!" Goku suddenly raised his hand and said.

"What?!" Beerus choked on his own breath and hurriedly looked over.

Good grief, Buu was truly fast asleep, snoring away like a pig!

"Damn it!!" Beerus gritted his teeth. Since the roster was finalized and couldn't be changed, Buu could effectively be considered disqualified!

"Wake him up!"

Goku said with some embarrassment, "Once Buu falls asleep, ordinary people can't wake him up, haha!"

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, Monaka sat upright like a primary school student, watching the scene in the arena with a shy expression.

"By the way, are those the Saiyans from Universe 6? Why... do they look so scrawny?" Krillin asked with curiosity.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their gazes toward the Universe 6 Saiyans.

It had to be said that it was indeed the case; the Saiyans of Universe 7 were all muscular, whereas those of Universe 6 were different—they looked thin and weak, lacking any sense of power.

Vegeta narrowed his eyes slightly, then said indifferently, "Their ki is not weak; in fact, it's even stronger than yours. So, don't underestimate Saiyans!"

Hearing this, Krillin and the others sheepishly shut their mouths. Being around Vegeta really was like standing on the edge of a volcano!

Suddenly thinking of something, Vegeta looked at Luya. "Hey! You've been training with Kakarot for so long, haven't you managed to transform into a Super Saiyan Blue yet?"

Luya shook his head. "Not yet."

PS: Don't ask me why the Supreme Kai didn't appear; I won't be focusing on him. The important thing is to watch the fighting!
