It was a fine morning at Neo-City as we start the story inside the facility where we see a young girl walking through the corridors as she makes her towards the training area.

The girl has a short black hair with choppy pigtails and has blue eyes. She is currently wearing a white dress shirt underneath a yellow almamater, dark gray skirt, white socks and brown shoes. This is Mato Kuroi.

"I'm wondering what kind of training routine the others and I will do today.'' Mato mused before grimacing, "I hope we don't have to run 60 miles like what the Soldier made us do yesterday.'' she stated.

"Hey, Mato!" a voice calls out her name, "Wait up!" the voice said.

Mato turns around to see a young man running towards her. The young man has a black brushed up, spiky hair and dark eyes. He is currently wearing a black leather jacket over a red shirt, black shorts and sandals. His fists are wrapped with black & white tapings. This is Taro Yamada.

Mato turns to him with a smile, "Good morning, Taro-san.'' she greeted, "Are you part of the same training group as me?'' she asked.

Taro let's out a chuckle, "Well! Since were heading at the same place, I guess I am.'' he replied.

The two shares a short laughter before continuing their way towards the training area. As they reached the entrance door, Taro pushed the door open, he held the door for Mato to go through and she thanked him for it.

The training area has two basketball courts side by side placed with white paint on the hard wooden floor, there was a stairs of benches leading up to the windows which Mato could see the blue sky with the clouds going by, a basketball hoop with a white hard board hanged in the air by metal like arm on the one side of the court and the same on the other, same goes for the second court.

At the set of white bleachers, the two saw more trainees sitting on it. On the lower bleachers, we see two young men having a chat with each other. The first young man has a thin physique and had a pinkish skin tone. He had a medium-length brown hair and dark eyes, he is currently wearing an orange sleeved yellow shirt, red shorts, white socks and dark orange shoes with black buckles and gold laces.

Mato looks around and noticed that something is off, "Is this our training group?'' she asked in confusion, "I don't remember being part of a training group with only twelve people.'' she claimed.

Taro scratches his head, "Yeah... it's really weird." he replied, "For all I know is that each training group usually had forty to sixty trainees in it.'' he stated, "Did we arrive too early?'' he asked.

Mato then checks on her watch, "No... there's still ten minutes before training starts.'' she replied, "Just what is going on?'' she asked in concern.

"Maybe we should ask the others, maybe they know." Taro suggested as the two approaches the others at the bleachers, "Hey guys.'' he called.

"Sup, Taro! Sup, Mato!" Haru greeted.

"What's going on? Why there's only twelve people here?'' Taro asked.

Haru shrugs his shoulders, "Beats me.'' he replied, "I've been trying to figure that out myself." he admitted.

Sylvia crosses her arms as she spoke, "You don't think the others decided to ditch this training?'' she asked with a stern voice.

"I don't think the others would something as dumb as ditching training.'' Red pointed out, "I mean... they do know that they get penaltyI for doing that. Just asked Buckles and the others for example." he stated.

"I wonder where the others right now?'' Mato said out loud.

Dac placed a hand on his chin with his elbow rested on his left knee, "I was wondering more where the others are this morning when I had breakfast.'' he stated, "I thought for sure that they ate their breakfast early to get here first but I was wrong." he stated.

"Just where the hell is everybody?'' Taro asked in confusion.

Before anyone could speak, the entrance door opens and came in a very intimidating man with a spiky hair and dark eyes. He is currently wearing a blue track jacket with white linings, black track pants and red & white sneakers. This is Vegeta, a Veteran Hero and currently working as a trainer.

Veteran Hero, Saiyan and Trainer

Vegeta

"Morning kids." Vegeta greeted with a sour look on his face.

His sudden arrival surprises everyone, "Good morning, Mister Vegeta.'' Sylvia greeted.

"Are you going to train us today?'' Haru asked.

Vegeta shook his head, "You wish.'' he replied as he jab his thumb at the door, "Kakarot is currently attending something, so he'll be here in a few minutes.'' he stated, "I just came here to tell you something.'' he claimed.

"Tell us something.'' Taro repeated, "What is it?'' he asked.

Vegeta let's out a sigh, "You all noticed that there is only twelve people in this group.'' he pointed out earning a nod from everyone, "Well... the others decided to packed their bags and left camp.'' he stated rather bluntly.

This taken everyone by shock while Shana remains uninterested and Erena has mild surprise look on her face, "What? They packed their bags?!" Red repeated in confusion.

"You mean... they quit!" Haru exclaimed after placing the pieces together.

"No wonder I didn't see any of them in the cafeteria this morning." Dac grumbled with a blank look.

Sakura let's out a gasp, "Even Lyndel and Regan?" she asked.

Vegeta shook his head, "Fortunately, Miss Flamburge and Miss Bladeworks didn't quit.'' he replied much to Sakura's relief, "Miss Flamburge is currently back in her kingdom to attend her cousin's wedding while Miss Bladeworks is also back in her kingdom to celebrate her mother's birthday.'' he explained, "The others... as Mister Glory said... they quit.'' he said.

"But why?'' Mato asked.

Vegeta shrugs his shoulders, "I guess they can't stand on how hard the training is.'' he replied.

"What a bunch of wimps!" Kaoru spoke in disdain, "Training is hard I admit but quitting just proves that they're nothing but a bunch of losers!" she stated.

"Well... they did... and we can't do anything about it." Sylvia said with a look of disappointment.

"So... what's gonna happen now?" Taro asked.

"I'll let Kakarot answer that question.'' Vegeta replied.

On cue, the door opens and came in man taller than Vegeta. The man has a has spiky black hair, he wore an orange shirt, a blue shirt underneath, orange pants with a blue belt tied around his waist, dark shoes, a blue wrist band on both of his wrist and he also wore a whistle with a long strap around his neck. This is Son Goku, a Veteran Hero and currently working as a trainer.

Veteran Hero, Saiyan and Trainer

Son Goku

"Sorry I'm late.'' Goku said, "I need to pick all of the papers that Taco accidentally scattered around the floor." he explained while rubbing the back of his head.

Vegeta let's out a sigh, "I swear that kid is nothing trouble.'' he muttered as he walks past Goku, "I already told them about the former trainees, you'll take care of the rest,'' he instructed.

"Okay, thanks.'' Goku said in gratitude as he watches Vegeta leave the area. He then turns to the others and began to look around, "Wow... kinda depressing to look at the number of the remaining trainees in these group.'' he stated.

"Mister Goku... what's gonna happen now?'' Sakura asked in concern.

Goku gave all of them a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, I got this thing sorted out earlier today when I heard the news that a lot of trainees left.'' he replied, "We'll continue on with training even with this small number. But I talked with the president and he told me that tomorrow, those that left will be replaced by other trainees." he claimed.

"Other trainees? You mean from the other training group?!" Sylvia pointed out.

Goku nodded, "Aside from Miss Flamburge and Miss Bladeworks that will be returning tonight." he said, "Tomorrow, these group we'll be joined by Chad Mordetzky, Raya Amanda, Wesley Bryans, Squigly & Leviathan, Alden Cole, Luna Loud, Yoshika Miyafuji, Mayumi Yoshikawa, Duncan Nelson, Andres Alvarez, Arinah, Eustace Bagge, Geraldo Axel and many more." he counted.

Kaoru let's out a grin, "Well now... this is getting more exciting." she claimed but her face turned into a frown, "But I don't like Alden though.'' she admitted.

"Ditto.'' Dac replied in agreement.

Goku claps his hands, "Welp! That's enough talk and let's begin with our training.'' he announced, "Since there's only twelve of you here, we'll just be doing basic training.'' he said.

"Sounds good.'' Taro said.

"Okay guys..." Goku began, "We'll start with a warm up by stretching and then you guys will start jogging around the track about..." he trails as he put up all five of his fingers, "Five-hundred times." he exclaimed.

This taken everyone a back, "What?!" Sylvia shouted in shock.

"Five-hundred laps?'' Haru repeated, "Are you fucking kidding us?!" he demanded.

Goku gave an innocent look of confusion, "What, not enough?" he asked.

"How about insane?" Erena spoke for the first time while Shana expresses a face of dismissal.

"Hey look, I might be able to do this with powers but you can't be expecting all of us to run that much without some of us giving it our all!" Kaoru stated.

Goku gave a thoughtful look, "Well alright, let's do three-hundred laps." he suggested.

"That still seems about much, don't you think?" Red asked in concern.

"So seven-hundred?" Goku suggested.

"You're going up, not down!" Haru exclaimed.

"Sir, we're not Saiyans like you, we have limitations.'' Mato reasoned.

Goku gave it another thought, "Oh yeah, you guys have a point!" he said with a laugh, he had forgotten that humans have limits, especially those who has to hold back their powers, he was just trying act like what a trainer is supposed to do, "Alright, I'll tell you what, why don't we do twenty laps and call it a day?" he suggested.

"Well... I guess that's fine...'' Taro spoke, "Twenty laps is more than enough to test our endurance.'' he stated.

Goku nodded, "Good answer." he replied with a smile when he noticed something, "Uhh... before we start... would someone please wake her up?'' he asked pointing his finger at the still sleeping Karizza at the bleacher.

"Coffee... coffee...'' Karizza mumbled in her sleep.

Sylvia let's out a sigh, "I knew letting her drink six cup of coffees was a bad idea.'' she muttered.
