"Wow, Dad and Uncle Goku both have teachers. Why isn't anyone teaching us, Goten?" Bulla complained to Son Goten.
Son Goten just smiled slightly. "Big Sister Bulla, I think we simply haven't reached the same level as Father and Uncle Vegeta yet."
"After all, we only recently became Super Saiyan Four. We still need time to build our strength."
After saying that, Bulla and Son Goten looked at each other, and their thoughts aligned.
The next second, the look in their eyes changed, and the two of them immediately began sparring.
At the same time.
On the other side, Majin Buu was still sleeping soundly with Old Kai beside him.
Next to him was Super Perfect Cell.
At that moment, Super Perfect Cell was relentlessly pestering Old Kai. "Old Kai-sama, could you help me unlock my potential?"
"I heard that you unlocked Brother Gohan's potential."
Old Kai glanced at Super Perfect Cell. Old Kai could perceive a strange aura emanating from his body.
It was extremely mixed and chaotic.
"You're not human, are you?" Old Kai asked.
Super Perfect Cell froze for a moment, his eyes narrowing. "What do you mean by that, Old Kai-sama? How is that not insulting?"
After saying this, Super Perfect Cell immediately turned around, preparing to leave. Clearly, this was treating him as if he weren't human.
Old Kai was just about to explain when Super Perfect Cell suddenly disappeared.
"Tch, this young man...so impetuous. Forget it if he won't listen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Super Perfect Cell returned to the same spot in the very next second.
This time, however, there was another person behind him. Trunks had his arms crossed and pushed Super Perfect Cell back to Old Kai's side.
"Watch your attitude, little brother. Talk properly to Old Kai-sama."
Super Perfect Cell immediately concealed his ugly expression from before.
"Sorry, Old Kai-sama. My attitude just now was bad."
Seeing how much Trunks cared about his dignity and how Trunks had spoken up for him in front of Beerus earlier, Old Kai felt deeply gratified.
"It's fine, kid. You should listen to me finish what I was saying. I can sense that the aura inside your body is very complicated. It's not something a human could have, which is why I asked if you were human. I can unlock your potential, but I can only develop one fixed aura inside your body."
"Which one do you want to unlock?" Old Kai asked Super Perfect Cell.
The moment Super Perfect Cell heard that it was actually possible, he instantly shook off his dejected look. Light burst out from his eyes.
"Really? Old Kai-sama!"
"Then, in that case! Please unlock the Saiyan aura inside my body! I want to..."
At that moment, however, Trunks reached out and pressed a hand on Super Perfect Cell's shoulder.
"Wait." Trunks interrupted him.
(Is there actually something this good? Little brother's luck really isn't bad. But if you can choose which bloodline's potential to unlock, why bother with Saiyan cells?)
"What's wrong, boss?" Super Perfect Cell asked, confused.
Trunks curled the corner of his mouth into a smile. "Do you know Frieza, little brother?"
Super Perfect Cell blinked and replied, "What are you saying? Of course I know him. Isn't he still going to compete with us, boss?"
Trunks revealed a meaningful smile and nodded. "Good. That's all I needed to hear."
"Do you remember that ten years ago, that guy escaped from Hell and trained in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber for a few hours?"
And then he broke through and reached the Golden form?"
Super Perfect Cell was stunned for a moment. His brain started spinning rapidly, there really was such a thing!
"I remember now! Didn't that guy get absorbed by Super Buu?"
"And later, it was you who released him, boss."
Trunks continued. "Mm. It looks like you remember it very clearly, but that's not the point."
The point is, you have Frieza's cells in your body too. He was able to break through several dimensions of power in a very short time."
"Don't you think that's terrifying?"
Super Perfect Cell seemed to understand Trunks's intention.
"Then... boss, you mean you want me to unlock Frieza's cells?!"
Trunks nodded again. "Smart."
Suddenly, Super Perfect Cell put on an awkward expression. "But, boss, I kind of want to be like you."
"Don't you think Saiyans are cool? That kind of transformation is really cool."
Trunks was instantly rendered speechless.
(Even though Frieza doesn't look human at all, he's a terrifyingly talented guy. If I could live another life, I'd want to be Frieza.)
{PS: Vegeta is too far away to hear this inner monologue.}
"I'll give you ten seconds to reorganize your thoughts and change your decision about Frieza."
"You idiot. Even if you unlock the Saiyan cells in your body, you won't change your appearance with each transformation like we Saiyans do."
"Besides, why do you even care about that stuff? Is someone in love with you or something?"
Trunks' barrage left Super Perfect Cell completely speechless.
Super Perfect Cell finally compromised. "All right, Old Kai-sama, I'll trouble you. I choose Frieza's cells to unlock my potential."
Old Kai nodded and began preparing the ritual to unlock his potential.
Super Perfect Cell sat down, closed his eyes, and waited.
At the same time, Old Kai said to Trunks, "Trunks, come with me for a moment."
Trunks nodded and followed Old Kai away.
Suddenly, Old Kai's expression changed. Then he earnestly spoke to Trunks: "Trunks, you are the best human I've ever seen. Thank you for not embarrassing me in front of Lord Beerus just now."
"Now, for the sake of Universe 7, what are your plans?"
Speaking of plans... Trunks truly did intend to keep getting stronger.
During the three years in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, he was determined to surpass his current self.
Dad and Uncle Goku now have Whis and Beerus guiding them. Brother Gohan has also obtained the Beast form.
As for Broly, he's so talented that there's no need to mention him.
"To be honest with you, Old Kai-sama, I already have a plan in mind. But for now, I feel that my current strength still isn't enough. When the time comes, I might need your help."
Old Kai nodded repeatedly.
"Mm. As long as I can be of use, I will help, for the sake of Universe 7!"
