8 Preliminary Round (1/2)

After I signed up I enetered the preliminary round area and saw Videl and Skyla arguing about something.

”So why am I finding out that you have been getting special training without me from that people.” Skyla exclaimed.

”It was a spur of the moment thing and besides it's not even going to be that much help in the tournament.” Videl said in her defence.

”You know Skyla I wouldn't mind teaching you a thing or two if you want, I'm much stronger than I look you know.” I offered.

”See now Aurora knows how to be nice, I thought we were going to stick together always.” Skyla said.

”It's not like that Skyla, I just wanted to get stronger and that never interested you much.”

”Fine I understand what you saying, Aurora come with me to the punching machine, the preliminaries is about to start.” Skyla ushered me away with her.

Right before the preliminaries started Gohan and his family and friends joined us at the punching machine.

”Welcome to the preliminary round of the World Martial Arts Tournament. This punching machine will be deciding who the 15 contestants will be who will be in the next round. As Mr. Satan is the last winner, he will be automatically entered into the next round. The punching machine will measure how strong your punch is and the 15 highest points move on.” The announcer explained.

”Be careful to hold back and not show our actual strength.” Gohan said

Mr. Satan was chosen to do an example and got 137 points. The people before us got nowhere near his score, so his score was thought to be the highest.

”My dad, forever the show off.” Skyla frowned.

It was Skyla's turn up next, she went up to the punching machine and went into a perfect stance. She gracefully struck the punching machine with perfect technique scoring her 197 points.
