Chapter 2 – PE and CC
PE. The one class Gohan wasn't sure of. Gohan loved to train and physical education, he never gave it up after the Cell games and wouldn't let his mother stand in his way. But he was hesitant, not for himself, but for the benefit of his class mates. Gohan is very competitive when it comes to sports and sometimes he goes all out without intending to.
'If I can't control myself, someone could get hurt' He thought, he and his new friend Sharpener made their way to the boys change rooms to get ready for class. Gohan had been informed that they would be training in martial arts, which excited Gohan, only there was only one major problem. He knew that he couldn't have a decent sparring session with anyone without seriously injuring or even killing them. And his skills were far superior to the teachers, so it would be unlikely that he would learn anything new. 'Unless the teacher knows Instant Transmission' Gohan added as a thought and chuckled.
Sharpener looked over at Gohan slightly confused. "What's so funny?"
Gohan then stopped his laughter and quickly responded "Nothing Sharpener"
Sharpener just shrugged and the two entered the change rooms. "Do you have any fighting clothes?" he asked.
"Yeah" Gohan responded as he produced a gi that was identical to his fathers from his bag.
After giving the outfit a look over, Sharpener just nodded and began to change. The two boys then exited the change rooms and into the gym. Gohan couldn't help but notice that nearly every single female student had their eyes glued to Gohan, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
The two then took a seat next to Videl and Erasa. Videl was wearing the same baggy clothes and fighter gloves she had been wearing all day, while Erasa wore a simple Purple Sweat suit. After glancing at Gohan, Erasa once again had hearts in her eyes and the usual stone faced Videl, was having trouble from doing the same. 'Look as his chest, man he is definitely a true fighter, and that gi is 100% Son Goku'
Just then, the gym doors burst open and a tall dark skinned man walked in. "Alright everyone!" he yelled, "Today, it seems we have a new student" He then looked at his clipboard "Son Gohan, would you please stand!" Gohan rose from his seat.
"Yes sir"
"My name is Mr Gibson, welcome to my class, now before we begin, I have to ask, how much martial arts experience do you have?"
"Thirteen years" Gohan responded, there was a sea of gasps throughout the class, even the teacher was surprised.
"Well, we will still have to test your skill and see what level you're at" Mr Gibson began "So I want you to have a quick match with Jake over there"
There was a silence in the class, it hadn't even been a day, and the whole school already knew about the beating Gohan had given Jake.
"I want you both to stand in the ring and wait for my go"
Gohan smirked; he looked over at Jake and the two locked eyes. Gohan gave Jake an evil grin and gestured for him to enter the ring.
"Ummm, sir" Jake began, "I'd rather not"
Mr Gibson was stunned to say the least. "I'm sorry, could you say that again?" he asked for confirmation.
"I don't want to fight him sir"
The coach just stared, he had been teaching Jake for 3 years and he had never turned down a fight.
"I…see, well Sharpener I guess you're up" once again, silence.
"Could you maybe pick someone else sir?" Sharpener asked, fear evident in his voice. Sure Gohan was his friend, but what if Sharpener did something that pissed him off, how would Gohan react. Once again the coach was confused.
"Is there anyone here who will fight Son?"… Pure silence, all the male students just looked around the gym or at their feet in an effort to avoid being picked. Gohan just laughed at how cowardly they acted.
"I'll fight him" Came a feminine voice, Gohan recognized it instantly.
"Are you sure Videl, usually we forbid Male and Female students fighting one another, but I guess…" He said as he looked at the boys in his class and shook his head in confusion and dissaproval, "You can fight him"
Videl just smirked, 'Great, now we can see how good he really is'
"Videl are you sure about this?" Erasa whispered
Videl looked down at Erasa "Don't worry I'll go easy on him"
'That's not what I'm worried about' Erasa thought, remembering the Jake vs Gohan scene.
The two stepped into the ring, while doing so Gohan whispered into Videl's ear "You're going to want to give everything you have" Videl could tell in his tone that he wasn't being cocky, he was being very honest.
Mr Gibson stood on the sideline. "Ok, I want you to both get into your stances". Videl opted for the traditional Satan stance, which favoured strength over speed and defence. Gohan then slid into his stance which was perfectly balanced, no holes or gaps, his eyes then took on a stone cold gaze, it made Videl tremble slightly, he looked like a predator ready to kill. Videl shivered slightly under his piercing gaze, Gohan noticed it and smirked, he always enjoyed intimidating his opponent.
"You may begin!" yelled Mr Gibson.
Videl wasted little time in attacking; she threw everything she had at him… But nothing hit. Jabs, Uppercuts, hooks, body shots, leg kicks, body kicks, head kicks, all blocked with ease. Gohan faked a yawn as the barrage continued causing the room to gasp and Videl to turn red with anger, "Come on Videl" he said, his Saiyan pride taking over. A frustrated Videl then went for a body kick, which Gohan caught, giving her a sly smirk he then delivered a quick punch to her sternum, making her fall onto her back.
"Stay down" Gohan ordered as he turned to exit the ring.
Videl wasn't willing to give up though and quickly stood up and charged at Gohan. She then took a huge swing at the back of Gohan's head, but she missed her target as Gohan tilted his head so the punch went gliding over his shoulder, and with one swift movement he took a hold of her arm and flipped her over his head and onto her back. Gohan then mounted her and threw a punch that hit the ring canvas, just millimetres from Videl's head, the sound of his fist made her ears ring and her heart beat faster, 'If he was being serious, he would have killed me' Videl thought.
Videl looked up at the smirking Gohan, her breath was coming out in short bursts and her eyes widened in shock. The Videl Satan had lost.
"That's enough!" Mr Gibson bellowed, "Gohan wins"
The whole gymnasium was silent; the strongest person in the school had been defeated by the new kid. Gohan then stood up and offered his hand to Videl who accepted it in defeat; Gohan then pulled her up with unnatural ease, "Good fight" Gohan said with a grin on his face, it made Videl melt, how could someone be so kind, but still act like a killer in a fight. It was like Gohan was two separate personalities.
The class went on with sparring matches, seeing as though no one wanted Gohan as a partner; Videl was paired with him for the rest of class. And the outcome of the sparring matches ended with Gohan blocking every blow.
-After Class, in the school halls-
"Hey Gohan!" came the voice of a certain blonde female.
Gohan looked over and smirked as Videl and Sharpener approached. "Hey guys" Gohan greeted.
"That match between you and Videl was awesome!" Sharpener exclaimed. Although she put on a brave face, Videl was very disappointed with the humiliating loss to Gohan, never in her life had something like that happened to her.
"Yeah, it was fun" Gohan said, trying not to brag about his victory, despite the fact that he wasn't even using a fraction of his power.
"Who trained you anyway?" Videl butted in.
"Well, a fair few of my dad's friends helped me, but the time I spent training with my dad is what I attribute my skills to" he said giving the famous Son grin.
"Wow, if your dad could teach you that, then maybe your dad and mine should have a match" Videl suggested, feeling a little excited about how amazing the fight would be. On the other hand though, Gohan was thinking the complete opposite. 'A fight with Hercule? Even my little brother could beat him within 10 seconds'
"What do you think Gohan?"
"Well, that may be a little difficult" Gohan said.
"Why is that?" the confusion in Videl's voice was very clear. "Is he too sacred or something?"
Gohan just gave a small chuckle, "no I'm sure my father would relish in the opportunity to fight the… Saviour of the world" he said trying to keep himself from anger and laughter.
"It's difficult because… Well, he died about 7 years ago"
The three stood in shock, the legendary Son Goku was dead? They felt nothing but sympathy for their friend.
"I'm so sorry Gohan, I didn't know…" Gohan just held up his hand to stop Videl from talking.
"Its fine, I got over it years ago"
Sensing the tension Sharpener decided to intervene. "So Gohan, why are you still in your gi?" he asked.
"Oh, well I usually do some sparring sessions with a friend every day, so I figured I would swing by and get some training done" Gohan then thought a bit about his wording. 'Is Vegeta really a friend?' he just shrugged.
"Well guys, I'd better get going, my 'friend' isn't the most patient person in the world"
"Ok, well see you tomorrow Gohan" Erasa said with a grin.
"Oh and Videl" Gohan addressed his new friend, who gave him a questioning look.
"If you want to, maybe we could train some time" Gohan suggested, making Videl blush.
"s-s-sure Gohan" She stuttered, Sharpener and Erasa's eyes widened, did Videl just stutter? They had never heard that before, what effect was Son Gohan having on Videl?
Gohan then raced out of the main doors, waving as he left. After making sure no one was looking he took off to the sky. 'That went well' Gohan thought. He then headed towards his destination… Capsule Corp.
