Just as he finished the bell for period 5 went, causing Videl to curse, she would have to finish her integrations of her mysterious friend later, as something was telling her that there was a lot more to him that he had let out, and that the fact he was the son of Son Goku was only the tip of an extremely large iceberg.
Chapter 3 - Old Friends
May 31st 771 1:20pm
Gohan quickly made his way towards the gym, hoping to avoid any more questions from Videl this day. Just as he reached the door that led into the male changing room he realised why he had been dreading this lesson. Today they would start a new P.E. module on Martial Arts, which would be concluded in 2 months time by a mini tournament between the members of his group. This in its self didn't worry Gohan as he could quite easily breeze through the class. What worried him was that due to his Sayjin instincts he would find it very difficult to reduce his strength while fighting, but more worryingly he would have to explain to whoever was teaching them that it was likely that the teacher would be unable to teach him anything about the subject.
'Well at least Videl may be able to vouch for me after seeing what I did to that guy outside.' With a slight chuckle Gohan resigned himself to his fate and bravely stepped into the changing room.
When he emerged a few minutes later he saw that the entire class had changed in record time and was now sitting on the benches that surrounded the gym waiting for their lesson to being. He was dressing in piccolo style training Gi, its dark purple material a stark contrast to the while shirts that most of the class was wearing. After a few minuets of waiting the class became restless. Gohan was about to consider trying to find what had happened to their teacher as the principal walked into the large room.
"I'm sad to inform you that Mr Salvotty will not be taking you again for P.E. this year due to the development of a serious knee injury" there was a mix of murmurs and suppresses cheers form the class as this news sank in. "However I am glad to say that you will not lose out because of this as the school has managed to find a very capable replacement. A previous champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament actually."
As a mummer of surprise and confusion washed over the class two members of the class were thinking the exact same thing, although one of them had a slightly more persuasive hint to it.
'Dende please don't let it be my father'
'Dende if you even considered placing Hercule Saturn in here I would first kill him and them come and have roasted kami ribs for dinner this evening, am I making myself clear'
***
Wile Dende would usually of purposely changed fate to make the large egoed fool take the class he didn't fancy facing up to a clearly irate Gohan, especially at this time of the year. Sighing he also quickly discarded the idea of replacing the teacher with Vegita as he realised that would be even more devastating for his future chance of survival than placing Hercule there. Oh well there was always next week.
***
Gohan smiled a few seconds later as a familiar bald member of the Z Fighters entered the room His distinctive green gi and muscled stature making stand out by themselves, let alone the other noticeable feature he possessed. There was a collective gasp issued from the class as they realised that the third eye was not just a very realistic tattoo as its gaze started to carefully scan the class before settling upon one person. "Oh hey Gohan, almost didn't recognise you there. Boy you've grown kid," said Tien as he started to walk into the room.
"Yeh, that's what happens to 11 year olds if you don't see them for 6 years, you and Choutzu really need to stop round more often" replied Gohan cheerily
Tien smiled as he turned round and walked to the centre of the gym, preparing to start the class. "Ok as you lot hopefully already know we will be doing martial arts for the next term. To save us all some time could all of you who know any martial arts come up to the front. Oh and Gohan could you come over here for a sec.
"Ha, I guess he can see how weak Gohan is so is saving him the trouble of embarrassing himself and allowing him not to do it." Came the cocky shout of one of the jocks that had moved to the front of the room.
Tien's response was firm, his voice showing his little tolerance for the arrogance of some of the class quickly disappearing. "Now usually I'd let a comment like that be left as the random blabbering of an arrogant fool but seeing as the first lesson I was going to give you today was to never underestimate your opponent well." Tien's trailed off as if in though before allowing a slight smile to grace his lips.
"Right kid, looks like your comment had earned you the right to go first. Today I'm going to judge the level of the fighters who have had prior training. As I want to observe you carefully you will not be fighting me, but instead you will be fighting Gohan here." It was at this point that another member of the class spoke up.
"You're having a laugh aren't you? If your using anyone to test people it should be Videl cus she Hercules daughter and therefore the strongest here."
If anything Tien's smile just increased at that remark,
"We'll see shall we, Gohan if you go over to the ring that been marked out on the floor and stand on the left for me. Your opponent will approach you from the right and then speak his or her full name clearly, I will then signal for you to begin. Got it."
He waited for the mummer of agreement from the seven fighters sanding before him before continuing. "The rules are simple, if you give up, end up out of the ring or are knocked unconscious the match is over and I'll give you a grade based on your performance. This process will be repeated again at the end of the time you have with me and I will be handing out detentions to anyone who hasn't improved, got that." He again waited for the murmur of agreement before sitting down on one of the benches.
"Right Number one" the jock that made the earlier comment quickly made his way over to the ring and fell into a sloppy fighting stance. As he did this Gohan also quickly moved into his own stance. After the event at lunch Videl was extremely eager to try and see just how good Gohan was at martial arts. The stance he used however made her gasp in surprise. She had expected him to fall into a quite tight stance, as would many fighters of medium experience when faced with someone like this jock but instead his stance was extremely lose, his weight evenly distributed across the pads of his feet, allowing him to adjust his position instantly to attack or defend. She was pulled out her thoughts however by Tien's stern voice.
"Name"
"Wane Faland"
"Right, Begin"
As the fight started Wane rushed straight towards Gohan, aiming to deliver a quick hit to the face. He hadn't counted on Gohan's tightly honed reflexes however, for as he moved forward into range and threw the punch Gohan darted nimbly under the jock's outstretched arm, grabbing it around the wrist and then proceeded to use the boys forward momentum to easily throw him out of the ring.
"Next"
The next four opponents were quickly and rather unceremoniously dispatched of, none of them lasting more than one or two blows with the young Demi- sayjin.
"Next"
"Videl Satan"
As Tien heard this name his interest was sparked and he proceeded to stand up and approach the ring.
"Well, well, well, the daughter of the currant world champion against the son of the former world champion, this should be interesting."
There was a collective gasp form the rest of the class, and a slight sigh from the five jocks that had been quickly beaten as there ego's suddenly felt less bruised seeing as they had been beaten by the son of a former world champion, who also happened to be one of the most well know figures in martial arts before Hercule. .
"This should be a good fight, I hope I won't be disappointed Miss Satan." With a quick turn Tien made his way back to his seat. "Right, Begin."
Neither of the two fighters moved, both standing silent waiting for their opponent to make the first move.
"Ladies first I believe" Gohan's voice cheery but still held the slight undertone of aggression.
"Don't mind if I do." Videl launched in to a vicious but calculated attack meant to try and gauge her opponent's defences. She quickly reminded herself that she was not fighting a street ganger who's defence she could brake through with sheer power but instead was fighting someone who seemed to be an extremely experience and proficient martial artist who would undoubtedly capitalise on the smallest of mistakes she made. She quickly slowed her attack, tying to find a way around Gohan's defences but found that his stance allowed him to react quickly to block any attack she made. As she became more frustrated her attack became less precise and she quickly made a dangerous error as she went for a vicious right hook, but rather than the blow being blocked it hit thin air as Gohan ducked under it and counter attacked, pushing Videl back as she tried to stage a decent defence against his seemingly random attacks, his blows never striking in the same patter twice, casing her to continually adapt her stance to compensate.
It was this mastery of multiple fighting styles that won Gohan the match as Videl quickly found her self tiring form the number of movement she was having to make while Gohan was only having to slightly alter his attack pattern to force her to change to a completely different stance. It was during one of these stance changes that Gohan managed to slip a low kick through her defences striking her knee as she moved her leg, causing her to lose her balance and end up sprawling on the floor with Gohan's fist less than an inch form the end of her nose. Videl quickly acknowledged her defeat and tried to stand. As she tried to move her knee to stand however she once again collapsed on the floor, cringing as she grasped the damaged joint. 'Bloody Hell, how hard can this boy hit' she cursed mentally. Just as she was about to try and stand again she felt a strong arm wrap itself around her back and was quickly pulled to her feet by Gohan, who lead her over to the benches and placed her down next to Tien.
"Sorry about that Videl, I guess I got a bit carried away." Gohan smiled at her before quickly returning to the make shift ring drawn on the gym floor.
"Right, now that's over with could I have the next fighter up please?"
Gohan couldn't see who it was but it only took him a second to recognise the distinct ki signature of the person who he now considered the greatest threat to the world's safety.
"Name"
"Yanrit Gallic"
'Well, it looks like I'll get to find out a bit more about this guy after all' as he turned to face his opponent Gohan smiled despite himself. 'This is going to be fun'.
