Chapter 38 - Qualified Participant! (2/2)

”Because this a special event, whe...wait, you might be able to get involved.” Kayn wasn't sure, so he didn't assume anymore.

”Haha, good, I hope these OtherWorlders are as strong as you say.” Bardock rubbed his hand together with anticipation.

”What about you, mom? Will you attempt to enter the tourney in OtherWorld?” Kayn looked to Gine and asked.

”No, but if I can watch, that'll be fine.” Gine declined, she would rather watch. She had already done plenty of fighting, thus, she would rather train instead.

Just when Kayn was about to show them something; the void outside of the house shook, as if someone was trying to breakthrough. Kayn stopped and felt someone suddenly appear out of nowhere; this also alarmed Bardock and Gine.

Bardock was the first to move and ran to the door to check.

”Anybody home, I'm here to pick up contestant Kayn.” A professional voice could be heard outside, it had no hint of hostility.

”Ah, it must be that time, it looks like our guide has arrived.” Kayn walked outside to see the blue nerdy Ogre from last time.

”It's you, your that nerd from before.” Gine pointed out and said.

”N-nerd? I'm not a nerd!” The nerdy Ogre rebuked.

”Hmm, but you are, you can't hide what you are.” Gine smiled and said teasingly.

”...”

He couldn't bother to argue with this woman, she was obviously messing with him.

”Ahem, as I was saying, I'm here to pick up Kayn, so which one of you is this Kayn?” The Ogre starting talking professionally again.

”That would be me, but I was thinking, this guy here also wants to contest. Is this possible?” Kayn had to be sure.

”Hmm, I don't know, let me contact North Kai to confirm.” The Ogre turned around and looked up with his eyes closed.

”...”

”.....”

”....”

Everything was silent.

”Hmm, the North Kai said it's fine.” The ogre nodded and confirmed.

”Haha! I like this North Kai guy already!” Bardock laughed happily.

”Follow me!” The Ogre turned and walked to the door nearby, he couldn't wait to get out of here in all honesty. Kayn was satisfied with this because it didn't mean he had to worry while being away.

The group of 4 walked through the door as it closed behind them. Afterward, they appeared in King Yemma's check-out station. However, they didn't head to the check-in and out area where people were being sentenced.

”The Tournament takes place on the Grand Kai's planets.” The Nerdy Ogre was expecting these mortals to be shocked, but none of them showed any change in expression. Thus, his mouth twitched, he failed to see them amazed.

He only thought that these mortals didn't know the greatness of such a Kai. At first, he thought they knew a thing or 2 since North Kai was inviting this Kayn character, but nope.

But he was both right and wrong.

”Is he like... a higher rank than King Kai or this North Kai guy?” Bardock asked.

”King Kai and the North Kai are the same person.” Kayn quickly corrected.

”Oh.” Both Gine and Bardock said in unison. Gine already knew King Kai, but she didn't know he was also called North Kai.

”So, there must be like a South, East, and West Kai, right?” Gine only thought this made sense, so she asked.

”I'm glad you mortals understand that much, you're smarter than I thought.” The nerdy Ogre adjusted his glasses with a smug smile.

”Oh, sorry we can be as smart as a nerd.” Gine grinned and said playfully. It was telling what she would think when she met Goku and realize years later that her Grandson would become a nerd.

”I'm not a nerd, you....” The ogre glasses went crooked from annoyance. But before he could freak out further, they all made it to their destination.

”Here, take this portal, it'll warp you straight to his planet. North Kai will be waiting for you there to guide you.” The glasses Ogre said hurriedly.

”Why didn't King Kai contact me like usually does?” Kayn unconsciously asked.

”He's probably talking with the other Kai's, they're very competitive fellas.”

”I see, well, we'll be on our way then.” Kayn nodded and walked through the portal first. Bardock walked through afterward, following behind Kayn.

”See you around, my glasses friend.” Gine said these last words before jumping into the portal

”I told you, I'm not..... damn annoying mortals!” The glasses Ogre jumped up and down in anger, but Gine was already gone.
