Chapter 74 - 71: Meeting The Other Fighters From The North Area! (III) (2/2)
Before Nao could continue speaking, he found himself interrupted by another prideful individual. A figure about 6'2 tall started walking in large strides. He was currently wearing a pure black kimono, with patterned dark blue moons circling around it, and wooden sandals. A red auburn bushy tail could be seen sticking out, alongside red auburn ears. His eyebrows were very defined and sharp, just like a katana, and his pupils were that of a fox. A silver crown clad in dark blue jewels could be seen sitting on his head, containing short cut red auburn hair. Nao could feel a threatening pressure just from his Ki alone. He then proceeded to hear a deep, arrogant voice.
”I'm Rei, the sole prince of the Moonlit Foxes. You can ignore this outcast, brat. What race do you hail from? I can see you have a tail, maybe a race similar to ours?”
As Rei introduced himself to Nao, Nao decided to remain silent for s moment. He then opened his mouth to say something, only to feel an arm reach out in front of his chest. Sayuri proceeded to grab Nao and place him behind her, as if she was trying to shield him. Curious as to why Sayuri would do this even though the two had just met, he decided to not speak and watch this play out.
Nao then saw anger streak across Sayuri's face, and her aura suddenly exploded forth. A large blast of air blew out from her body, but unlike last time, Nao actually felt this Ki was hot to touch. Before long a pinkish-red aura covered Sayuri, who then yelled out to Rei.
”I just found out that I now have a little brother, sharing the same Master! Rei, you're just a stuck up prick of a prince. Our race was destroyed by alien invaders, and we were powerless! Why didn't your race send help when we begged countless times!?”
”Hmph, that just shows how weak your race was. Such worthlessness wasn't worth protecting.”
”You bastard!”
Nao then saw Sayuri lock her hands together horizontally, with her fingers curling in. A large amount of pinkish-red Ki started to gather inside of her palms, causing the surrounding air to screech. Seeing Sayuri start this technique, Nao was suddenly reminded of another, which his eyes turned wide once he finally figured out what this technique was. '...Isn't this Final Flash!?'
However, before Nao could try to stop Sayuri from launching Final Flash at Rei, he suddenly heard King Kai yell at her.
”Little Sayuri, cease your Ki at once! Fighting before the Tournament starts is strictly forbidden. You should already know that! Don't disgrace yourself on Grand Kai's planet!”
As if someone doused Sayuri with cold water, her mind felt a lot clearer after King Kai warned her. She knew well that fighting was prohibited but the last of the Sunlight Foxes was in a large feud with the Moonlit Foxes, and any opportunity Sayuri had, she would attempt to kill the prince. In the end, she calmed down enough and her aura soon disappeared around her, and she canceled her technique, returning to atmosphere to normal. Even though it returned to normal, it was easy to see there was still some tension between Sayuri and Rei.
It was at this time Nao had a good look at her. Nao saw Sayuri wear a teal bodysuit similar to his black one but it was open at the waist area, revealing her slim belly. She also was wearing a white chestplate which had the Galactic Patrol logo placed on her left b.r.e.a.s.t area. A white slim tail poked out from her waist, unlike Rei's bushy auburn tail and it had three orange stripes at the end of it. To top of she appeared to be quite a beauty and had white fox ears poking out of her head.
'To think a member of the Galactic Patrol would be here...I wonder if she knows Jaco, I should definitely talk to her later. I wasn't expecting King Kai to teach such a beauty either. Moreover, how the hell does she know Final Flash? This technique is only passed down through the Saiyan royal lineage...'
Question after question soon sprouted in Nao's mind, but he decided to put them off till later. He then saw King Kai cover his mouth, leaning towards him, and whispered something into Nao's ear.
”I tried to quiet it down for ya, kid. This is my first time seeing Rei too. I'm not sure what was going on in Grand Kai's head, they clearly hate each other. Among the other other five, three of them are also my disciples but the other two I'm also meeting for the first time. You should take this chance to introduce yourself properly.”
Sayuri also took notice of King Kai whispering something into Nao's ear out of the corner of her eye, wondering what was being said. She saw Nao nod back at King Kai, only to receive a smile from him, without saying anything. Nao then proceeded to step in front of Sayuri, facing against the the other seven individuals. Rei was currently a few steps ahead of the others but they all saw Nao bow at them, as he proceeded to introduce himself.
”Greetings, everyone, I'm Nao. The Grand Kai did indeed grace me with an exception allowing me to partake in the Other World Tournament. I may appear young, but never underestimate a Saiyan! We're proud warriors from birth, I intend to take first place..”
”Hoh, so you're a Saiyan? Even though we live in a secluded part of the North Area, I've heard Saiyans are cruel fighters. However, looking at you, my Ki senses a great amount of internal energy hidden within. I hope to meet you in battle, brat.”
”Likewise, Rei. It looks like three of us have now introduced ourselves, why don't you guys also begin?”
Once the scuffle between Rei and Sayuri finished, Nao saw it was now fine to have the other five introduce themselves. The others stayed silent until they saw King Kai nod in approval. It was at this time the figure on the left started walking forward. Nao had a good look at this person, and it appeared as if he came straight out of Ancient Greece.
This person was over twice Nao's height, reaching 9'5. He had large blonde hair which split through the middle of his head, waving off to each side as bangs. His hair then extended downward and appeared to be very curly. His face was a bit triangular and a red headband wrapped around his forehead. Ancient Greece-like white robes could be seen equipped together with brown suspenders and a brown belt. His voice also sounded deep but a lot more calm and mild, unlike Rei's.
”You can call me Olive. It's a pleasure to meet you, Nao. It's always a pleasure meeting another disciple of King Kai's.”
Nao smiled, nodding at Olive. Two other individuals decided to step forward, introducing themselves as Sarta and Mijorin. Sarta and Mijorin also quickly introduced themselves as King Kai's other two disciples, totaling five, including him and Sayuri. Sarta appeared to be a mix of an elf and a dwarf, equipped with red beads on his neck and forehead. His hair was also put into two large locks that swerved down each side of his head, and was very dark red, and had light tan skin.
Mijorin on the other hand appeared very different, as he was literally a walking, standing upright, dog with purple fur, and had a very large chest decked out with a huge six pack. Finally onto the last two unknown figures, one appeared to be a very graceful blue-haired elf, as the other appeared to be a harpy of sorts, both being women.
Nao expected an introduction similar to how Olive, Sarta and Mijorin introduced themselves, but the only thing he received from the elf was a death stare, followed by a sharp voice, seemingly to be very mad, which confused Nao. What she said next only confused him even more.
”I don't need to introduce myself to the likes of you, you damn poachers!”
