Chapter 37 - 34 King Colds Retirement! (IV) (1/2)
The day Prince Vegeta the IV, Vegeta for short, was born appeared to be a rather ominous day, as the only sounds that echoed throughout the Palace for its remainder was King Vegeta's crazed laughter and the multitude of shuffling feet coming from the royal guards, making sure no intruders came into being. While King Vegeta was known to be quite cruel and scheming, he still loved his family and permitted his wife to embrace their child for the rest of the day, before placing him in the royal pod the following day. Unlike middle and low class warriors where the Saiyan parents struggled on when to place their newborns into the Incubator Pods, the elite district and royal Saiyans were much more strict, as they were born with much higher Saiyan bloodline purity and talent. In order to not let these go to waste, most, of not all elite and royal Saiyans are immediately placed into the Incubator Pods, which included Nao and Miya right after they were born. These two classes also usually spent all three years to take the most benefits of the pods' nutrients and supplements. But besides having the royal family spend the rest of the day in their personal chamber, the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Year 732 April Palace Vegeta, The Next Day
Nao's consciousness drifted in and out of dreamland after he concluded his evening meditation, only to feel a large weight upon his chest once morning dawned. Seeing that it was quite heavy, he opened his eyes, only to see Miya sitting on top of his chest, smiling at him. Miya then placed her small hands followed by her head onto Nao's bare chest, only to embrace his warmth. Nao knew that Miya does this every now and then in the mornings and every time she did this, Nao knew she wanted to talk about something. Seeing Miya rest on top of him, he ruffled through her long straight hair that took after her mothers. Saiyans mostly had spiky hair both long and short, of which Nao had, but some had their oddities and his mother was one of them, where she just had straight black hair that flowed down to her waist. Iona never bothered to cut her hair, which made her beauty stand out even more. Nao currently had a good look at Miya and despite being reincarnated as a Saiyan, she still retained most of her beauty that she had when she was Rebirth's system fairy. Nao knew that given enough Ki control training, Miya would even be able to sprout her translucent red wings just like before. In the end after ruffling through her hair Nao pinched her small nose that no longer had any baby fat, and likewise Miya stroked her hand against Nao's developing muscles. A few seconds passed in silence as the two twins embraced each other's warmth but Nao then spoke up.
”My dear sister, you should know by now I don't like to be disturbed in the mornings. Every time you do this disrupts a session of my meditation. It's most effective once the sun rises and right before it sets. I feel my strength increasing day by day once I was struck by that Origin Ki.”
”But brother, you'll end up as an old man at the current rate you're going before you achieve the Legendary Super Saiyan state. Your current pace is that of a snail! Brother should really search for a technique that assists the cycling of your Ki, just doing it randomly won't give much effect. Sure you managed to increase your meridians by 2% so far but before long, without a proper technique you won't see much gain anymore. I'd give it about another 8% before you stop seeing any growth at all.”
”Still, opening my meridians by another 10% is 10% closer to my target. But is a technique really necessary? Even if I have roughly 50,000 RP right now I bet those sorts of techniques would cost a lot more than your standard battle moves but even if we are in the world of D*Z, it's still technically a cultivation world with all of those martial artists roaming around.”
”That's right brother! We're still in our growing period so finding the right cultivation technique for you should be of upmost importance. If you think you don't have enough points, then maybe you can take the chance when we meet those two people that old man mentioned in two years. He did say that they were extremely powerful existences, hehe!”
”So either the Shop or by luck, huh? Isn't it possible for me to create my own technique too?”
”That's definitely possible brother, but did you forget the lack of knowledge you carried over in regards to this area? It's a shame you didn't read more of those eastern martial arts light novels in your previous life. Those were chock full of techniques you wouldn't even begin to imagine. But with how high our bloodline purity is brother won't find it difficult in learning techniques like those pathetic humans do, hehe!”
Upon hearing this, Nao chopped Miya on the forehead, before letting out a sigh.
”I was human once too you know, stupid Miya. But maybe its better for us in the long run now that we were born into a different race. Humans do have limitless potential but they always take forever. I mean we're seven years old but our power is boundless compared to them already. But enough about that, didn't you have something important?”
”That's right brother! You were lost in thought during meditation yesterday that another event took place. I felt another surge of power coming from the Palace before it died down. It looks like one of the main casts is finally here.”
”So that Vegeta is finally with us, huh? It took Kakarot a long time to tone him down a few notches but hopefully he will still be bearable if we ever get the chance to see him. I do know he'll be out on a mission after he emerges from the royal pod but we still have at least a couple years. I wonder if he would emerge before those two experts arrive, what do you think Miya?”
”Hehehehehe.”
Hearing Miya laugh at him, Nao chopped her forehead again. Nao knew Miya was a walking encyclopedia due to her nature as an AI and even he was forgetful at times. Nao roughly knew of the two experts that are bound to arrive in two years time thanks to a certain scene he remembered where King Vegeta welcomed them with a banquet, only to get stepped on and couldn't do anything about it. But he still wanted Miya to confirm it since she had the ability to read his memories.
”Out with it already, my stupid sister. I already have a rough idea but you should know about it clearly, right? After reincarnating, I can only remember bits and pieces of my previous life, unlike you.”
”Alright you party-pooper. According to your memories, If things go accordingly, Vegeta will emerge from the royal pod two years further down and a couple months before the two experts arrive. Before he goes on his first mission issued by the Saiyans' new overlord, he ends up witnessing his father getting berated by the two, and he could only watch on powerlessly. Since you've likely taken a guess by now, the two experts are likely that God of Destruction Beerus, and his attendant Whis, seeing how Beerus was on Planet Vegeta for some reason.”
