The rest of the day went by quickly, it turns out that schools aren't that much different from one another, do this do that sit where you are told, for Gohan the chang was simple, he had been homeschooled before and so his mother had kept an eye on him during his entire childhood.
For Pearl, however, this was an entirely new experience, the way the school functions was the stronger you are the more unwritten privileges you have.
So if a particularly powerful student walked down the hallway, the rest of the students would get out of the way, if they didn't like it, then all they had to do was fight one of the stronger students, win and they would get the same kind of priveledges.
Of course, they would have to prove that they hadn't one by accident and that meant that they would have to fight other strong fighters.
Gohan had picked up on this almost instantly, the reason being the little girl that clung to his arm when they ended going from one classroom to another.
Pearl was a glitch in the system and nobody liked it, she wasn't particularly powerful, yet she was allowed to walk next to the most powerful student, granted Gohan knew that there were people that wanted to fight him already, but he didn't like the way the girls looked at Pearl.
There was a kind of envy in their eyes, but none of them said or did anything, he worried that would change as the days went by.
After he had found Pearl eating alone he decided to go pick her up from class and that's when he noticed it, the fear in everyone's eyes, no one in Pearls class would get near him, no one moved, no one except for Pearl.
Gym class was the same, there weren't any sparring partners for him, not even amongst the elite students, he found himself standing alone in the ring, not even the teachers would look his way.
Only Pearl stood there net to him and it seemed that everyone hated her for it.
The gym class in this world was fighting, either the students here trained with one another or a teacher would spar with them, Gohan wanted to say something, but the alarm had gone off and finally, school had ended, it was time to go to work.
He wanted to leave Pearl behind, but the way people looked at her, there was something in their eyes, so he decided to take her with him.
The base wasn't that far away from the school, and if Gohan had to put it in words, he was in middle school and he had walked into the high school.
The building was a large dome, it had over a hundred floors, but Gohan could already see something was off, none of the people around him looked particularly old, even his dad and Vegeta had wrinkles and yet, everyone around him was...None of them were old and they either had well-trained bodies or were carrying around some kind of equipment with them.
What they used that equipment for Gohan had no idea.
They headed for the entrance and Gohan felt pearl tighten her grip on his hand, the moment he touched the handle t the door, he was forced t jump into the air as a man was thrown out of the door, in his hands he had an energy blast ready to be fired.
Gohan looked at Pearl for a moment just to make sure she wasn't hurt and he kept his eyes on what was happening in front of him, a girl with short black hair walked out.
The man didn't waite for the woman to say anything and he unleashed his energy at her, she caught it with one arm and with a sadistic grin she returned the energy blast back to its master.
It was over, the man was unconscious, the woman looked at him and walked back into the building, almost immediately after robots arrived and carried the unconscious man away.
Seeing that everything had calmed down Gohan landed on the ground and walked into the building, the door had just been destroyed, so he didn't have to open anything.
