46 Break (2/2)

Reiss was less enthusiastic after hearing it was only a two week break. He would still need to go back to school for a couple of days.

”Speaking of training,” Videl began, ”I wanted to ask if you would be willing to train me.”

The blue haired Saiyan thought about the girl's request to learn from him. On one hand, it might be fun to see how strong she could get. On the other, the two weeks wasn't very much time and he might need to train.

”I'll do it!” Gohan blurted out. ”Reiss will be to busy with his own training.”

He knew what kind of training Reiss would probably subject Videl to in other to increase her strength quickly. He remembered the harsh training on the way to Namek. He wasn't worried Reiss was going try crushing her in the gravity chamber, but his training would probably be torturous.

”That sounds like a plan.” Reiss nodded, ”Gohan would be an excellent teacher, even if he has been slacking off lately.”

”Ok, fine, in eight days we'll start training. Be ready Gohan.” Videl ordered.

”I guess that means I need to fight too if I want the two week break.” Gohan said. He was happy that at least the world wasn't ending this time.

Later that evening, after the group separated, Gohan was at his house on Mt. Paozu eating with his family. Kakarot informed them that all of his friends would be fighting in the World Tournament for old times sake. He mentioned that his brother would be coming back to compete too.

After hear this news, Gohan understood what the priority call Reiss received earlier was about.

”I think you two should fight.” Kakarot looked to his sons, ”It will be fun.”

The young Goten was excited by the thought of competing in the tournament. He was ready to call his friend Eschalot to see if she was going too.

”I agree with your father.” Chi-chi said, ”If you place in a good spot it will only help your chances at getting into a good school like your brother.”

Over the course of the next eight days, the teachers at the school became increasingly impressed by the prince's performance. Regardless of the lack of attention he paid in class, he completed his assignments flawlessly. They wanted him to be one of the school's representatives in the World Tournament, but Reiss refused to accept their slot.

After his application for the two weeks training break was accepted, Reiss departed the school after telling his friends goodbye. The blue haired teen had been staying at the Capsule Corp. property in West City while he was on Earth. His grandparents were thrilled to have him staying with them because they rarely saw him.

When his father sent him the priority message to participate in the tournament, he contacted the Shadow and had it travel to Earth. Reiss told his grandparents that he would be training on the Shadow for the next two weeks. However, Dr. Briefs informed him that he constructed a training room on the property long ago, following most of his daughter's specifications.

Goten didn't realize when his brother said they were going to train together that they would be joined by a third party. His brother waited until the last minute to let him know that he already promised to train Videl. From what he could sense, the pig tailed girl wasn't too strong at all.

”You said I couldn't invite Eschalot because it was secret training.” Goten complained, ”But you invited her.”

”I told you Goten, I already promised I would help her out.” Gohan tried to persuade his brother.

”Fine, but Eschalot wouldn't slow us down.” Goten countered. ”She is as strong as me. Well, maybe stronger.”

”Ok, next time we'll invite her if she is free.” Gohan promised.

”Goten, I'm really happy you let me join in,” the pig tailed girl smiled, ”If I slow you guys down, you can leave me behind.”

The young Kakarot lookalike nodded his head in acceptance of the situation. The trio moved to a suitable location and Gohan gave his guest some pointers, while Goten tried not to be bored. After being taught several exercises, Videl became curious about Gohan's usual routine.

”What do you and your brother usually do?” she asked. Judging by the younger brother's bored expression, this wasn't how they trained.

”We spar!” Goten shouted with excitement.

”Really?” she asked the boy, ”I'd love to see that.”

Goten smiled, dropping into a fighting stance, ”Here I come big brother.”

The child wasted no time in launching himself towards an unprepared Gohan. The older brother's experience allowed him to defend against his brother's sudden attack. Goten guessed his initial strike would be blocked, so he followed up with a kick. Gohan countered his brother's attacks with several strikes of his own.

Videl watched in shock as the two brothers vanished before her eyes. She struggled to stay on her feet from the disturbance caused in the area by the playful clash of the brothers. The two appeared almost as fast as they disappeared. Both Gohan and his brother were breathing a bit heavier.

”That's how we train!” Goten smiled cheerfully at the shocked girl.
