A cold smile played on Mercenary Tao's face as she flew through the air, a hint of smug satisfaction on her face, a sense of relief at surviving a calamity.
What's the use of being strong? Didn't I still survive? I'm still just a little kid.
How did Mercenary Tao know that Gohan was young?
Nonsense! Wearing that kind of armor and spouting those cringeworthy lines, how old could he be?
This is almost universally acknowledged as a fact.
Just then, a familiar mechanical voice instantly startled Mercenary Tao.
Do you think you've escaped?
Platinum armor appeared out of thin air at the front of the supporting pillar, blocking out the entire sun.
The sunlight shone on the platinum armor, making it gleam brilliantly; the light was dazzling!
At this moment, Gohan seemed to transform into the sun, acting on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!
"You... you..." Mercenary Tao was so flustered that she couldn't even speak.
"Me? What do you mean, 'me'? You can't escape."
At this moment, Gohan slowly floated up, spreading his hands out in the air with his palms facing upwards.
"I said it! My power is enough to tear the earth apart and pierce the sky!"
Gohan raised his right hand high, and his body gradually glowed with a blue light, enveloping the two of them in a semi-circular energy shield with a diameter of one kilometer.
Mercenary Tao looked up at the blue energy shield that was constantly flashing in the sky, and then he quickly looked down and saw the same thing under his feet!
Mercenary Tao Pai looked at Gohan with a terrified expression; the god-like aura made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
My blood seemed to freeze, and my limbs were completely out of my control.
"No... no..."
"Bang!"
Gohan softly uttered an explosion sound, his raised right hand clenched into a fist.
The semi-circular energy covered an area of a full kilometer! It transformed into a blue energy beam that shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, most of the West City was dyed blue.
The citizens of West City looked up at the spectacular sight in the sky and began to discuss it.
A miracle! It was truly like a miracle; some superstitious people even knelt down in worship.
Since it was a day off, Goku, who was shopping with Bulma, looked up at the blue beam of light.
" Goku, isn't that Gohan?" Bulma asked Goku, sensing the familiar aura.
"Yes, that's right."
Goku nodded; he hadn't expected Gohan to cause such a commotion.
But it doesn't matter, because for their own reasons, people on Earth have long been used to some people acting beyond reason.
Wasn't my 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament broadcast live worldwide?
"Let's go, don't worry about Gohan, he's having fun."
Bulma then continued to cling to Goku's arm, and the two continued their affectionate stroll through the streets.
The blue light in the sky gradually dissipated, and the sky became cloudless and incredibly blue.
Platinum armor gradually emerged, standing tall in the sky.
"Dad, look, it's Light!" a little boy exclaimed excitedly, pulling on his father's hand and pointing to the sky.
Although it looked a bit blurry because of its height, the little boy, a loyal fan, recognized it at a glance.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the platinum-gold figure bathed in golden sunlight in the sky.
Even from a distance, it still appears so sacred and so captivating.
Meanwhile, Gohan, the mastermind behind it all, was clad in armor, looking at the empty space ahead, and nodded in satisfaction.
Done, it's about time to go back. The whole thing took less than a minute. If I delay for a few more minutes after I get back, that'll be just enough time to go to the bathroom.
The next second, the platinum-gold figure disappeared into the horizon.
Gohan deactivated his transformation and reappeared on the rooftop of the school building.
He straightened his rather disheveled school uniform and slowly walked towards the spiral staircase leading from the rooftop to his classroom.
Gohan, who was walking up the stairs, suddenly heard a familiar voice.
" Gohan, isn't it class time now?" A brilliant-looking middle-aged man in a suit met Gohan on the stairs.
"Hmm? Uncle, I went to the restroom and I'm heading back to the classroom now," Gohan replied casually.
Although it's okay not to be perfunctory, it's still necessary to do some superficial work.
"Okay, go ahead then, Gohan, don't be late for class." The middle-aged man waved to Gohan with a smile.
"Yes, goodbye, Uncle."
The middle-aged man watched Gohan leave with Gohan, feeling fortunate that Gohan would call him "uncle."
No, I should say that meeting Gohan was the greatest stroke of luck in my life!
He is the principal of West City No. 1 Junior High School, and more than two years ago he was the principal of West City No. 1 Elementary School.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a year later, when Gohan enters West City No. 1 Senior High School, he will be promoted to the position of principal of that school.
Who told me to be so sensible? Being able to latch onto Gohan's family is also a testament to my own abilities, isn't it?
For Gohan and his family, being the principal themselves would save them a lot of trouble.
Knock knock!
"Report." With a knock on the door, Gohan entered the classroom and looked at the teacher on the podium.
" Gohan, go back to your seat."
The teacher turned around and saw it was Gohan. He casually waved, signaling Gohan to quickly return to his seat.
After Gohan sat down, he glanced at Videl next to him. Videl was pouting and holding a ballpoint pen between her small, delicate nostril and lips.
Videl glanced at Gohan with a sly smile on her face.
"Hey, our great hero is back!"
Gohan's lips twitched. Videl must have completely guessed that he was the Shadow and the Light, but he still chose to remain stubborn.
"What kind of great hero am I? I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable commoner."
Videl rolled her eyes at Gohan, who was still being stubborn.
"Oh right, you're just an ordinary, unremarkable person, so what are we?"
" Gohan, did the Light and Shadow appear again just now?"
Videl has once again set a trap for Gohan.
"Who knows? I'm not a prophet, how would I know if Light and Shadow will appear?"
Gohan was already used to it; this kind of battle of wits had become a unique source of fun between the two of them.
"Heh heh!" Videl gave Gohan a cold laugh, then turned her head back to look at the blackboard.
Gohan doesn't have to attend classes, but she still needs to; her grades aren't good enough that she doesn't need to attend at all.
