He waits for a response but nothing came.
"Tuff crowd" he mumbles to himself.
"Ok Gohan finds a seat and follows along with the lesson" Mr. Peterson reminds Gohan.
Gohan nods and begins to scan the room for a seat until "Hey cutie! Here's a seat over here"
Gohan looks towards the person calling out to him. She was a blond with short hair and light blue eyes. Focusing on the subject at hand, he makes his way to the seat. He thanks the blond before sitting down on his new seat. He instantly takes out a notebook and begins to follow along with the lesson.
About 20 minutes into the lesson Gohan feels a tap on his right shoulder. He looks to his right to see the blond girl beaming at him.
"Hey Gohan, my name is Erasa, Erasa Addison and the sour pose behind me is Videl"
Gohan glances next to Erasa. Videl had black hair in ponytails. She looked cute. He decided. Takin of guard by the death glare that is sent to him by this Videl person, he nervously shifts his eyes back to Erasa nodding at her to continue.
"Would you believe that Videl is the daughter of Mr. Satan?" Erasa questions Gohan.
Gohan is shocked by this revelation. " R-Really…daughter of Mr. Satan as in Satan City Mr. Satan?"
"Yeah, the only quite neat right!" Erasa chimes in.
"I mean that's kind of hard to believe but if you are then that's amazing Videl"
"Oh, but she is you have to believe me, she is. You know if it wasn't for Mr. Satan then we all would be dead right now and by the way, did you hear about the gold fighter?"
"The Gold fighter?" Gohan questions.
"Yeah, he randomly appeared two times in the last 10 days and took down some baddies. They say he has blond hair and green eyes and he like super strong as well as fast. Apparently, he moves so quickly that he takes down his opponents in a blur"
Gohan immediately begins to sweat and covers his mouth nervously. *Yikes, that was me when I registering for school. I hope they don't find out it's me, I have to visit Bulma after school she could probably help me out* Gohan sighs in relief at his idea.
"It's funny actually, I'm surprised Videl never encountered him with all the crime-fighting she does" This surprises Gohan.
"Wow, seriously you fight crime?" Gohan questions Videl in disbelief.
"Yeah, so what? Think I don't have the guts to do it because if so then your in for a treat nerd boy!" Videl glares at Gohan.
"No of course not! I was just asking"
"You know brains some say she is even stronger than her dad" A random long-haired blond male chimes in.
Gohan turns his head to the unknown voice. He is greeted by a guy with long blond hair and who doesn't seem to mind flexing his arms. He seems to enjoy wearing tank tops as well. Gohan shrugs and just assumes that Sharpner is just your regular old jock.
"Oh, by the way, Gohan that right there is Sharpner Daniels the guy who thinks that just because you have big muscles means that you're the best"
"Oh, come on Erasa, you like these bad boys, don't you?" Sharpner says while kissing his biceps. Erasa gags at Sharpner's poor attempt at flirting. Erasa turns her attention back to Gohan.
"Anyways his right you know, Videl could be stronger than her dad. Who knows?"
Gohan gives Videl a warm smile. "Well, Videl, I'm sure with all the crime-fighting and training you go through that you could put up a good fight against your dad if not beat him"
Videl blushes at Gohan's compliment and mumbles a quick "Thanks" before turning back to her books. Erasa notices this and will interrogate her best friend about this as soon as their alone.
A few hours have passed since Gohan's little chat will his fellow peers and a subject that Gohan was dreading on taking part in has arrived.
Physical education… (Or gym class. Whatever floats your boat basically)
The students make their way to the PE/Gym room after getting dressed for it in their respective PE clothes. Our protagonist Gohan is dressed in the same clothes he wore in the anime when he was participating in Gym class. When the students enter the gym room, they are greeted by their gym teacher who seems to be a bodybuilder in his 40's.
"Afternoon everyone! My name is Mr. David or you can call me coach David and I am your PE teacher for the year. I don't want to waste your time explaining what we are doing for this semester so long story short I am teaching you self-defense or simply put it Martial arts.
Gohan gives a horrified look. Oh, just my luck dammit! He thinks to himself
"I'm going to start reading out your names and give you a respective number which you should always remember got it?" The PE sir asks out loud.
"YES SIR!" The class yells out.
"Ok that's good now let's start immediately, the first student is number 1; Son Gohan. Number 2; Videl Satan. Number 3; Sharpner Daniels. Number 4; Erasa Addison…
After reading out all the student's names and giving them all their respective numbers while memorizing each face the coach throws two long and thick mats on the floor and turns back to the class.
"Listen up! If you know anything about defending yourself then please line up next to me but if you don't know anything then just stay where you are!" Mr. Daniels orders.
Gohan immediately begins to panic as a few of the students line up next to Mr. David. Sweat evident on his face. If he stays here then Mr. David will probably fail him but if he lines up he could risk exposing his skills. Gohan then thinks back to the consequences of failing a subject. His body seems to act on its own as he begins to walk to Mr. David to line up next to him. The revelation of Gohan knowing Martial arts immediately begins to spread amongst the students.
"You know martial arts Gohan?" A voice questions him.
Looking at the subject at hand, he is met with a pair of blue eyes. Videl stands there waiting for an answer patiently. Gohan sighs and realizes it's too late to back out now decides to vaguely answer Videl's question.
"Well, I was taught Martial arts by a good friend of mine as well as my…father…" Gohan says the last part just hard enough for Videl to hear. A sad look on his face.
Videl realizes Gohan's dad is a hard topic for him to talk about decides to comfort him.
"I'm sorry I didn't know your dad was something hard to talk about"
Gohan looks up at her with a warm smile "It's fine Videl, it's something that happened a few years ago so I'm kind of over it"
"Ok well, if you ever want to talk…"
Videl was interrupted by the coach and she turns back to face him. "For all of you, that knows self-defense I want you to go into your fighting stance. I'm going to see if I can improve anything in your stance but before we begin; Videl Satan"
Videl turns her gaze towards the coach and stares at him in confusion.
"Well, Videl you don't have to take part in this stance lesson if you don't want to, that includes you Sharpner. You haven't trained as long as Videl but I know you trained under Mr. Satan before he won the 24th World Martial arts tournament so you can join Videl if you want to"
"Did you hear that babe, it's just me and you uhhhhhh fuck!" Sharpner is suddenly punched in the stomach and sent on his knees.
"I told you not to call me babe ever again! That will teach you!" Videl says while making her way to the bleachers with Sharpner following shortly. Videl sits down, with Sharpner sitting next to her. Sharpner decides to focus on Gohan as well as Videl.
"Let's see what nerd boy is made of" he announces. Videl nods and turns her gaze to the field.
Back on the field, the coach is now facing his students who can apparently defend themselves. "Like I was saying drop into your fighting stance so we can get this show on the road! Let go!"
All the students drop into the famous fighting stance Mr. Satan used on Cell, well except one. The coach walks past each teenager while mostly telling them how to do the stance correctly and he stops at one student; Son Gohan. He looks at Gohan with a confused look.
The coach including every student present on the field as well as Videl and Sharpner came close just to see it. The only smart Martial artists can pick up that Gohan's stance is flawless and Videl, Sharpner and the coach pick up on this instantly. They have never seen a stance quite like this one.
"Gohan your s-stance it… it is flawless! I have never seen a stance like this before. Who taught you this stance?" The coach asks with a look of astonishment.
Gohan is a little bit nervous about having this much attention on him but answers the question anyway.
"W-Well I was taught this stance by my father but I believe this stance was created by the turtle hermit school for fighters but that school is long extinct"
Turtle hermit…where have I heard that before? Videl thinks to herself.
"Well, I've never heard of that school before but I'm sure they were a smart bunch"
Gohan smiles and replies with "Yes sir they were true"
"Well anyway since everyone has their stance, I'm going to pair you with people which you will have to fight. Oh, btw Videl and Sharpner you can come back now"
"Ok so like I was saying, you will fight whoever I put you up against. It's tournament rules so make sure to follow them. If you are knocked outside of the mats, I laid down then you lose. If you are knocked to the ground and you don't get up before the 10-second mark you lose, if you tap out in a submission you lose. This isn't a torture fest so don't make matches longer than 5 minutes otherwise it's a draw. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir!" The class yells out.
"Good!"
The coach takes a look at his class list and reads it carefully. Ok, so I'll put that against that and that against that. 3 minutes pass before the coach looks back at his class.
"Ok so first up we have Number 1 against Number 3!"
The class gasped in shock as Sharpner and Gohan make their way to the fighting matt with Sharpner sporting a cocky smile on his face.
"Sir do you have to put me up against this nerd boy. Just because he has a good stance doesn't mean he's actually good. I bet anyone here can beat him right brains" Sharpner looks back at Gohan but is taken off guard with Gohan's face. It's like his face shows no emotion what so ever and he's already in his stance.
"So, you really want to do this nerd boy…fine I'll teach you a lesson that you should never cross me" Sharpner sends a death glare at Gohan before dropping into his stance.
"Ok so, I want a nice clean fight, and remember to finish this before 5 minutes" The coach announces.
"Oh, I'll make sure to finish this quickly alright" Sharpner mutters softly only for Gohan to hear.
"Ready, set, and go!"
Sharpner immediately rushes at Gohan at full speed and tries to send a roundhouse kick to Gohan's head but Gohan swiftly ducks underneath it. Sharpner then proceeds to overhead punch him but like before Gohan dodges. Sharpner backs up a little and goes back into his stance.
"Haha, your actually good nerd boy" Sharpner laughs. "Too bad I have to try against you now AAAA AAAA!" Sharpner rushes back in and sends a fury of punches and kicks at Gohan but none of them connect. He takes a few steps back trying to catch his breath. He growls at Gohan. At this point, the class was chanting Gohan's name which was infuriating Sharpner more.
"I am getting really sick and tired of you dodging me Gohan" Sharpner growls. "Ok, Mr. Big shot let's see you handle this!"
Sharpner takes a few steps back and proceeds to give Gohan a cocky stare. "Let's see you handle the finishing move that Mr. Satan personally taught me"
Many gasps were heard throughout the class saying something like "Is he going to do it?"; "No way is Sharpner going to do it?"; "Give it to him Sharpner! Show him who's boss" etc. Shortly the whole crowd was cheering for Sharpner once again.
Sharpner cocks his right fist behind him. He runs at Gohan with all his energy and yells out "Super Megaton Punch!" He jumps into the air and delivers a punch between Gohan's eyes. Now, normally this punch would probably send any normal fighter flying out of the ring but come on. Is Gohan really a normal fighter?
The whole class is in shock. Gohan has effortlessly caught Sharpner's punch…
Coming up in the next chapter is: Son Gohan vs Videl Satan
Authors Note: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I do want to talk about a confusing subject which is Gohan's age. Now I believed Gohan's age was 9 when he fought Cell because at the start of the Saiyaman saga the narrator said that Gohan is 16 and that there was a seven-year time skip between the cell games and the saiyaman saga. 9+7=16 right so you can see why I was confused but after some long research I finally figured out his age. I'm assuming that most of the DBZ fans say that Gohan was 11 when he fought Cell but I have to say that I disagree. Gohan was biologically/physically 11 when he fought cell but calendar-wise, he was 10. I say this because Gohan spent a year in the room of spirit and time so I don't count that as an actual year to Gohan's age. Hate me or like me for it but that's just how I roll. In this rewritten chapter, I'm going to make Gohan's school clothes the same clothes Goku wore in the 10 days before the cell games and I also decided that he keeps the same hair he had when he fought cell and by the way as it turns out Gohan is turning 17 in the saiyaman saga. If some of you are wondering why I wrote that Gohan's class does Martial arts instead of baseball then I'm giving you a friendly reminder that this is fanfic and we don't know if things would've gone the same way in the Middle school like it did High school. That's all for now folks. Have a Good day!
