Chapter 9: The Hidden Potential
After Podiya's explanation and her hard work in learning it, Ayaka had to exclaim that the language technique was indeed efficient. At least in the future, there would be no barrier to communicate with the Namekians. As soon as they spoke the Namekian language, she would be able to learn their language through this secret technique.
One day, Ayaka was lying on the roof of her house, basking in the sun. Her little life was very leisurely at this time. Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her. "Ayaka, the Grand Elder wants to see you," the other person said. He was the guard of the Grand Elder. The Yardratians were led by elders, just like the Namekians. The Grand Elder represented the highest authority. The Grand Elder, whom Ayaka had met when she first came to Planet Yardrat, was a chubby old man.
Following the guard into the Great Hall where the elders lived, Ayaka thought to herself, "I wonder why the Grand Elder wants to see me." After waiting in the hall for a few minutes, the Grand Elder came out, holding a yellowing book in his hand, followed by seven or eight elders. Every one of them held high authority, and she never thought they would all appear today.
A female elder came forward and touched Ayaka's head. "After a few months on Planet Yardrat, you should know the planet better," Ayaka nodded. The Yardratians were peace-loving people, which was very rare in the universe. Although their power level was not top-notch, their intelligence was number one in the universe.
The female elder then said, "We have created countless secret techniques, which is the pursuit of our clan. But we are not willing to interfere in the struggle between universes. You saved Podiya, and we are willing to be friends with you. Saiyans are a warrior race, but I can see that you are not like other Saiyans."
Ayaka wondered what the elders meant by saying these things to her. They couldn't have seen her different physical qualities, could they? The thought of this made her heart flutter. However, she overthought. The Yardratians didn't see her physique. The Grand Elder looked at Ayaka and said thoughtfully, "You have a powerful potential that far exceeds that of ordinary Saiyans. Perhaps you will become a legendary Super Saiyan. Our Yardratian clan has a secret technique to predict the future, and we predict that one day, the universe will be enveloped by a dark force. You have the potential to lift that crisis."
Ayaka heard and understood that the crisis that could affect the entire universe should be Majin Buu. In her understanding, Majin Buu would be ended by the Super Saiyan, but not her—instead, it was Son Goku. "You have learned the secret technique of language, so to deal with that crisis, you can choose to learn another two secret techniques," the Grand Elder handed the yellowing book in his hand to Ayaka. "This is the description of Planet Yardrat's secret techniques. You can pick two of them, and we will arrange someone to teach you."
Ayaka was stunned by the sudden news. "Isn't this such a good thing?" she thought joyfully. She took the book from the Grand Elder's hands. She didn't expect the Grand Elder to be so generous as to let her choose. Ayaka flipped through the book page by page. There were so many secret techniques written on them, and each of them was very good. It was tough for her to pick out two of them.
"Can I take it back and study it?" she asked. She had to choose these two secret techniques for herself. The elders smiled and nodded. They had no intention of letting Ayaka pick them out now. After all, it was still tough to choose two from such a thick book. Ayaka was full of joy as she held the book and planned to walk out of the Great Hall.
