209 Freedom (1/2)

”Haha! Awesome! A tournament between universes and we are being trained by someone who is friends with a god!” Goku laughed out loud as he became excited of the prospect of meeting new powerful enemies.

He was constantly growing more powerful. He has almost surpassed the strongest of Exousia and now he learns that completely new enemies, which possibly far surpasses him in strength, will be his opponents. He couldn't help but be excited.

”Indeed, although I have only been the mentor of Lord Beerus for a very long time, I hope you will gain a lot out of this training. Maybe you will get even stronger than Lord Beerus.”

”What?! You are Beerus' mentor?!?” Goku screamed out.

Although he knew that Whis had to be strong as he could stand side to side with Beerus and didn't lose out of the danger he gave off, he wouldn't have imagined that Whis was in fact Beerus' mentor.

He had high hopes for the training with Whis before, but now his expectations increased a whole lot.

”What are we doing first??” Goku was eager to start but Whis had other plans.

”Before we begin our training, you will have to know where you are going to live from here onwards.” With that being said, Whis teleported the group into his staff a room of time and space, very similar to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

He led them through some buildings that were built in the center of this giant room. He quickly showed them their rooms and where they could find food and other daily necessities.

Afterwards they walked to an open field. Whis looked at the 12 candidates for the tournament of which 8 were Saiyans. One of them was a Frost Demon, a Namekian, a Hera and a mix of multiple races.

Whis then separated the group into groups of 4.

The Exousians formed a team. Cooler, Bardock and Gine formed another team and Vegeta, Gohan and Cell were assigned as the third team. The last team consisted of Piccolo, Goku and Raditz.

He then let two groups fight each other. Although he had seen the fight between them and Beerus and knew of their general capabilities, it would be better to have a look at a fight when the powers are somewhat the same.

He wanted them to struggle with all their strength and bring out everything they got.

Fortunately, Whis didn't need to motivate them as everyone recognized the underlying threat of the statement Whis had made previously.

If they didn't put any efforts into their training, they would probably die through Beerus hands.

Even Goku became exceptionally serious, when it involved training and rising to a new level of strength.

While they were fighting their hearts out with each other, Whis began to analyze their fighting style, strengths, weaknesses and potential.

From time to time he could be seen nodding slightly as he assessed this group of fighters. He was impressed at how far these mortals got on their own.

He couldn't help but smile in anticipation of how far these 12 warriors will go. Maybe one of them will be the future god of destruction.

After the fight he let this group rest for a while and started to check on Broly, who was still in the midst of training.

Whis noticed that he grew even stronger and that he should be able to endure robots of higher quality.

After seeing Broly struggle anew, having no room for distraction, Whis eyes flashed for a second. He then turned to look at Cell and Cooler…

”Hey, want a drink?” Whis said to the group while conjuring up a table with a lot of water bottles on it.

Cooler and Cell approached the table and suddenly they both got smacked on the head.

They directly turned around to beat up anyone, who dared to mess with them, only to see Whis with his staff resting on his shoulder. They immediately stopped with their actions.

”Oh, sorry I just saw a bug. Hohohoho” Whis held a hand in front of his mouth as he turned around to leave.

Cooler was confused for a second after which he saw two bugs twitching on the ground. He didn't know why Whis had bothered with these insects, but he didn't want to ask either, so he just dropped it.
