Chapter 10: Chapter 10
[...You got straight to the point with the Elder and explained your purpose. The Elder expressed no objections but stated that learning the secret technique required passing a trial. Feeling confident, you declared that no trial was too difficult as long as you could learn the technique!]
[On June 9, with the Elder's blessing, you resolutely stepped into the Trial Realm. Shortly after, you failed... and died!]
[This simulation has ended!]
[Please choose one of the following rewards:
Future memories
Trial experience of Yardratian people x1
Bullying experience x1
The most comfortable posture for spaceship travel]
Seeing the simulator's display, Saigo couldn't help but swear, "Damn it!"
"How did I die? And it actually shows that I died! Such a meaningless death—how am I supposed to avoid this pitfall?"
After calming down, he glanced at the reward options with disdain.
"I'll pick the second one! Let's see how many tries it takes to pass the trial!"
[Ding~ Selection successful! Congratulations on obtaining "Trial experience of Yardratian people x1."]
Then, Saigo sensed 20 people approaching. With a thought, he closed the system interface.
Before long, King Vegeta III arrived with 19 elite warriors.
Upon reaching Saigo, King Vegeta III respectfully said, "King Saigo, I've brought the 19 elites as requested!"
The 19 Saiyans accompanying him were utterly shocked. They stood frozen in place, as if nailed to the ground, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Time seemed to freeze; the entire world fell silent.
"This... this has to be a joke, right? Is this real?"
The speaker, a relatively young Saiyan, trembled as he spoke.
The others quickly came back to their senses but still couldn't accept what they were seeing.
Some covered their mouths, afraid to make a sound.
Some turned pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably.
Others nearly collapsed, their legs buckling under them.
A tide of shock surged in their hearts, leaving them unable to think or speak.
Their once-firm beliefs began to waver, and their understanding of the world was completely upended.
They couldn't believe that King Vegeta would report to a child. Although it was obvious this was no ordinary child but one with the potential of a superior-class warrior, they assumed King Vegeta had secretly summoned him.
They never expected King Vegeta to bow and report to him!
This completely shattered their worldview. In their minds, King Vegeta was a proud king who would never bow easily, not even to Frieza!
Seeing King Vegeta act so respectfully, they were utterly stunned.
Among the most shocked was Paragus' squad. They recognized the person King Vegeta was addressing with such reverence—it was Saigo, the very individual they had investigated for his unusual power levels!
The ones whose knees gave out were the other four members of King Vegeta III's squad.
King Vegeta III ignored the shocked expressions of the crowd and stepped forward, saying, "Warriors, the fact that you are here proves that you are the elite of the Saiyan race and absolutely loyal to our warrior race!"
"This also means you are qualified to participate in King Saigo's top-secret plan. I hope all of you can keep your mouths shut, as any leak will lead to the extinction of the Saiyan race!"
King Vegeta III's speech only made the warriors more vocal.
"King Vegeta, are you seriously passing the throne to this kid?"
"King Vegeta, are you alright?"
"King Vegeta, are you sure you're not joking?"
"King Vegeta, did you have a fever?"
"King Vegeta, is this some sort of prank?"
"King Vegeta, were you threatened? If so, just say the word, and we'll eliminate him for you!"
...
The cave erupted into chaos, like a noisy marketplace.
"Silence!" Seeing Saigo's slightly impatient expression, King Vegeta III shouted. Once the room quieted down, he continued, "First, King Saigo will be our new Saiyan king. I, King Vegeta III, am loyal to him. Anyone who opposes this decision opposes me!"
"Second, I am perfectly lucid, not spouting nonsense, and in no way feverish. I've never been more normal!"
"Third, I was not threatened. This is my own willing decision. If I had to do it all over again, I would still gladly let King Saigo inherit the throne of the Saiyan race!"
"Fourth, King Saigo's combat strength surpasses not only mine but also that of my entire squad! If you don't believe me, ask Belia and the others—they couldn't last a single round against King Saigo."
The other three squads' eyes immediately turned to the four members of King Vegeta III's squad.
Hearing their names, Belia and the others blushed deeply, lowering their heads in shame.
The other 15 warriors, seeing this reaction, understood that King Vegeta III wasn't lying.
Though King Vegeta III felt slightly embarrassed, years of leadership had thickened his skin. He scanned the group and continued, "Fifth, King Saigo is the savior chosen by the Saiyan god in a prophetic dream, where he was trained and guided to lead us to glory. If not King Saigo, then who? One of you?"
Everyone exchanged glances, then shook their heads.
"Sixth, if you still consider me your king, don't question my decision!"
"Now, does anyone still have objections?"
The 19 elite warriors pondered for a moment, confirming that King Vegeta III was not delirious. Without hesitation, they knelt on one knee in unison and respectfully shouted, "We pledge our allegiance to King Saigo!"
"No need for formalities. From now on, I'm abolishing the practice of kneeling—having my elders bow to me feels like it's shortening my lifespan," Saigo said seriously.
King Vegeta III responded, "Understood! I'll spread the word."
The 19 kneeling warriors echoed, "Thank you, King Saigo! We will remember this!" x19
They then stood up.
"Excellent! Now, stand ready!" Saigo said.
The lesson began in earnest.
"Starting now, I will teach you how to freely control your internal Ki, which you refer to as energy. Once you can do this, scouters won't be able to detect your true power level!"
"King Saigo, is it really possible to control power levels freely?" King Vegeta III asked, amazed.
Saigo knew they wouldn't believe him without a demonstration.
Very well.
It would be a good chance to showcase his skills and win their loyalty.
"Did you bring a scouter?"
"Yes, we did! Paragus, fetch the latest scouter!"
"Yes, sir! Catch!"
