"It's this building, right?" Ren asked. Ren and Tendou were now standing in front of a large building which to them was pretty impressive, it definitely wasn't the biggest building they had ever seen but it was still impressive.
Tendou looked at the paper that Nove had given him when they had met during his training session at the park, he narrowed his eyes at it and looked up at the building. "It says that this is the place, I guess she's waiting for us in there."
"Is that so?" With that, they both entered through the automatic doors which were glass doors with metal framing. They walked along the metal floor as Ren turned to Tendou. " So, how strong is this person?"
Tendou looked up and crossed his arms in thought while still walking. "Well, from what I sensed from her, though it was a bit difficult for some reason, she seemed to be probably weaker than a saibaman, though she might be hiding her power."
"I see, though that is still impressive for people who haven't trained like we have." Ren added. They continued walking up a flight of stairs before they laid their eyes on four figures up ahead. "Is she one of them?"
"Yeah, the one with the red hair, the tallest one." Tendou answered. When he answered, he then waved at the girl. "Nove!"
The mentioned red haired girl turned to them and blinked before she caught sight of Tendou and Ren walking towards them. The girls that were standing beside her who seemed to be Tendou's age also turned to see them, a certain blonde in the group more surprised then the others.
"Oh, Tendou, you made it!" Tendou just waved at her as he and Ren arrived at their location, Tendou crossed both arm while Ren had his left arm on his hip. Nove took notice of Ren who appeared to be only a couple years older than the Tendou. "So, is this your friend you told me about?"
"Yeah, it is."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Ren Brief." Ren greeted. He then extended his hand towards Nove in a friendly gesture, to which Nove took it whole heartedly.
"The pleasure's mine."
"Ah~!" They all heard a yell and turned to see the blonde haired girl pointing her finger at Tendou with her mouth and eyes wide open, they just blinked while looking at her, her friends beside her did as well. "It's you!"
"Uhh..." Tendou trailed on, he didn't know what to say in the moment as he was still processing what had just happened. He snapped out of it before looking at her carefully. "Hold on... you're the girl that ran into me."
"Do you know him, Vivio?" The purple haired girl of their group asked curiously, the girl known as Vivio turned to her.
"Not really 'know' him, I just kind of accidently bumped into him while I rushing towards you guys." Vivio admited. Her cheeks slightly red in embarrassment as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Anyway, before we get started why don't you all introduce yourselves before getting changed, I'll wait for you inside the training area." They all nodded their heads as Nove left to wherever.
They turned back to eachother and Tendou started. "It's a pleasure to meet you all, well, meeting her again." The mention blonde looked embarrassed. "My name is Son Tendou, but just call me Tendou, and you already know my friend Ren." The mentioned person waved at them.
"I'll go next!" The purple haired girl cried out. They all turned to her as she stepped up in front of the Saiyans. "My name is Rio Wesley! Nice to meet you!"
"I'll go next." They all turned to hear the calm voice which belonged to the girl with ponytails, who was smiling at them. "I'm Corona Timils. It's a pleasure."
"I'm up!" They heard the familiar voice which both calm and quite cheerful as well, it belonged to the blonde. "My name is Vivio Takamachi, It's nice to meet the two of you." She stopped as she looked at Tendou with fascination.
"Is something wrong?" Tendou wondered. He was confused on why Vivio was giving him a stare, the same could be said for the others as they watched Vivio.
"No, no, no, no!" Vivio denied. "It's just that I haven't ever met anyone who had eyes that were like mine."
"Oh, I see."
"Excuse me/Excuse us!" The group had said as they bowed in front of the entrance to the training hall of the building before walking in.
The girls had changed into better outfits that were more suited to train in, which consisted of a simple t-shirt and shorts, along with black gloves and footwear. The boys had decided to stay in their regular attire, so they had waited for the girls to finish changing.
The boys followed behind the girls as they all walked towards Nove who noticed them, thus turned towards them with a smile as she put both arms on her hips. As they arrived in front of her, they all blinked as they heard a loud voice. "Vivio!"
They all turned their heads upwards and to the left, when they did, they all saw three women standing on the top viewing platform area, the one in the front leaning against the railing and waving her left arm at them.
Vivio's face seemed to brighten up at the sudden appearance of three individuals as she responded to them. "Hey everyone!" Nove just turned her head to the left with a tired expression on her face but a small smile as well.
"It would appear that they actually decided to come and watch..."
Both of the Saiyans just sweatdropped at her, Ren just kept staring calmly as Tendou turned to Vivio. "Vivio, who are they exactly?" They all then turned to her except for Nove who just kept staring up at the group.
"They're Nove's family. They're my friends as well." Vivio answered.
"I see."
That was when Nove got their attention by punching the palm of her hand lightly and making an audible sound that made them turn to her. "Well, we'll get started with some simple warmups. Then we'll check your basics afterwards."
"Right!" They all responded.
With that, they all gave each other some room, Nove went to do her own thing while Corona, Vivio and Rio were practising their hand to hand combat as, Vivio was exchanging blows with Rio while Corona was practising beside them.
The boys on the otherhand, were a few meters away as they were doing their own warmups, it was nothing too~ crazy. They were only doing the simple one finger push ups, sit ups and body stretches. They were currently doing the one finger handstand pushups next to one another.
"456, 457, 458..." Tendou was counting as he did his, Ren was also doing the same as him, they seemed to be doing in in synchronization. They also appeared to not be affected by fatigue in the slightest. "So, I still haven't sensed anything at all, what about you?"
"Nada, haven't gotten a single trace of the energy signature, like I said before, it might be masking itself and hiding from us, or it is yet to strike." Ren sighed. They hadn't noticed some people watching them with surprise, even the girls had stopped to watch them, but luckily they hadn't heard what they were talking about.
Everyone quickly finished up their warmups and caught their breath, they then heard a familiar voice and turned to see Nove walking towards them. "So, let's get this underway, shall we?"
They were all confused as to what was about to happen, but changed to excitement, well, that was for Rio, Corona and the surrounding people who gathered. The Saiyans were watching on in interest instead.
Nove and Vivio were going to have a match, most likely not a serious match at all, probably just for practise and training. Both of the fighters were now standing in front of one another a couple meters apart.
They all watched as they both got into a fighting stance, the Saiyans realised that the stances were similar to that of boxing, if not it was. Vivio was the one to take charge as she rushed forward and sent a couple of punches.
Nove effectively blocked and dodge the attacks before sending a side kick to Vivio who flinched from the amount of power but managed to block the strike with both arms. She recovered quickly before quickly sending a punch with her right arm.
Unfortunately, the strike didn't go through as Nove managed to quickly block the hit by crossing both of her arms in front of her. The fight continued with the surrounded audience being impressed with the display.
"They're pretty impressive." Tendou noted. He observed the fight quite thoroughly. "Though there are some things missing in there."
"Agreed, their fighting style is pretty good, but it contains quite a number of holes which can be easily exploited. If they can overcome those, they'll become even greater fighters." Ren responded. He had analysed their capabilities. "They have good potential."
"Ain't that right?" Tendou smirked. Ren just turned to him with a smile and shrugged his shoulder and chuckled slightly. They then saw the spar between Nove and Vivio end as they walked towards them.
"What about you two, I'm interested to see how well you can fight." Nove stated. Vivio, who was standing beside her along with her friends stared at the boy expectantly, the Saiyans looked at one another and shrugged.
"Sure, why not?" Tendou replied.
"Wouldn't hurt, we haven't sparred with each other in a while." Ren added. Everyone around them watch in anticipation as both of them got into position and stared into one another's eyes waiting for movement.
Looking into eachother's eyes, they could easily tell what the other person was thinking at the moment. 'Hold back!'
The tension in the air was thick as the two fighters seemed to be in a staring contest, this caused the girls to gulp in nervousness. They all blinked a couple of times when a white flash flickered in front of them for a second.
It took a while for it to register, but when it did, they widened their eyes and had shocked looks. In a split second, Tendou was already in front of Ren, Tendou had his fist thrusted forwards at Ren in an attempt for a punch.
But they were surprised to see that Ren had managed to block the attack by raising his left arm, he had to bend his knees to keep himself stable from the force of the attack which sent a shockwave through the air.
That was when the boys began to exchange blows against one another at a fast pace, while they were fast, it was still visible to everyone around them. Nove was shocked, she knew that the two must have been incredible, but this was beyond her expectations.
The other girls weren't any different, they were all astonished at the display of combat prowess that the two Saiyan's posessed. Vivio was the one that looked more surprised than the other two, she was watching the display and it kind of made her feel insignificant, though she felt the determination to push herself further.
After the little training session with Nove and the other girls, Ren and Tendou were now walking down the street towards an address that Ren had recieved via his communication device.
"How much further is this place?" Tendou asked. Ren, who was walking beside him, held the ring on his finger in front of his face as a holographic menu opened up. He clicked on a few things before answering.
"It says that the place should be just around the corner, the person should be waiting for us there." Ren answered. He turned the menu off before sighing. "I just hope after all those questions I had to answer, they actually found a good house."
"Does it really matter if it's a good house or not? As long as it functions as a suitable living arrangement, we should be fine."
"Of course it does! We have no Idea how long we'll be in this Universe for, so it's best to get a base of operations that will last us."
"...Good point. Anyway, is that the person?" Tendou questioned. Ren turned his head to where Tendou was pointing at, he saw a man with a simple white t-shirt with black jeans, leather black shoes, and black hair.
Bringing up his menu again, he looked at the document about the purchasing of the property, which also displayed the photo of a man on the side. "Yep, that seems to be the guy we need to talk to."
"Then let's go!"
With that, they both put some speed into their legs and sprinted towards the man who was looking down at a clipboard in his hands. The man heard footsteps and turned to see the Saiyans slowing down.
"Ah, you've arrived."
"Yeah, sorry if we took long." Ren apologised. The man just waved his hand in front of his face with a smile on his face.
"No need to worry, I wasn't waiting long. My name is Takuji Yoshimi, just call me Takuji." The man introduced himself. "Your names are Son Tendou and Ren Brief?"
"Yes, those are our names." Tendou was the one that answered the question.
"Alright, then we can proceed with the viewing of the household that we have narrowed down to through the use of the answered questions." Takuji stated. The saiyans nodded in agreement as Takuji walked towards a house next to them. "This residence was the house we found for you."
They both looked towards the house and were quite impressed, it was a big house with two stories, there was a garage to the side but they weren't ever going to use that, the house overall was modern-like.
The primary colour of it being white while the secondary was a dark grey, they continued to look at the exterior of the home with satisfied expressions. They were brought back by the man who began talking again.
"This place is fitted with four bedrooms, two guest rooms, a kitchen, two showers, three toilets, backyard pool, a large living room, and other less mentionable places like the attic and basement room." Takuji stated. "The rooms have also already been furnished for you."
"Do you mind if we take a look inside?" Ren asked. Takuji nodded his head as they all headed into the house.
When they came in, they were greeted by a large living room being already furnished, there was a large TV screen on the wall and couches in front of it, beside the living room, they could see the kitchen along with a large dining table.
They continued to explore the interior of the house, as they did, they hadn't seen anything wrong about the place and were quite pleased. It seemed like the place was kept well clean while no one was using it.
"Alright, we'll buy it. How much exactly is it?" Ren asked. Tendou and him turned to Takuji who looked onto his clipboard and looked to the bottom of the page.
"It states that the price of this establishment is two hundred and fifty million zeni." Takuji answered. Tendou went wide eyed at this, while Ren looked completely neutral. "I can see if I am able to lower the price, if you want?"
"No, it's fine. I'll pay for it, what's the method of paying?" Ren asked. He had been answered by being told that he was to pay for the home via either online transfer or physically at the main building of where they sold houses.
Of course, being the easiest method, and the quickest. Ren had decided to just pay for it via the internet, he quickly accessed it on his device from Chronoa and paid for it, thus claiming the home as theirs.
"Alright, with the price of the home being paid for, this place now belongs to you."
