26 City Lord's Palace
Afterwards Broly was announced the Champion of the tournament. Afterwards the ranks were announced for the top 10, as they had been fighting for it in the breaks between the rounds.
10. Aize, the Saiyan with 5 credit points.
9. Buiko, the Hera with 10 cp.
8. Yenari, the Harpy with 15 cp.
7. Noyd, the Hera with 20 cp.
6. Taro, the Saiyan with 25 cp.
5. Blitz, the Wolfman with 45 cp.
4. Atrog, they Troll with 55 cp.
3. Alea, the Saiyan with 75 cp.
2. Zinjo, the Myrmidon with 100 cp.
1. Broly, the Saiyan with 150 cp.
After the tournament those ten would be disciples under the city lord. It was also announced that every two years would be another tournament for another chance, but this wouldn't affect the already chosen top 10.
The win against Zinjo was naturally seen by Cana, who was awakened by the loud noise and the rumbling because of the last fight. She resented that Broly won the tournament as she thought he wasn't worthy of the title of the strongest prodigy of her generation. He was only ahead of her now, with time she would surly surpass him.
Alea was there when she awoke and tried to calm and comfort Cana, but with her red eyes it looked like she tried more to console herself than Cana. She had trained her whole life after all, while being praised as the best. Because of the position of her father Daz and the fact that she wants to become their race leader, she was okay with Broly defeating her but against Zinjo, she felt that she had dishonored her race. If she wanted to become the leader of the Saiyans, she had to be stronger. So, she renewed her conviction to work even harder.
Although Aize got less cp, he was satisfied in becoming a disciple and barely at that. Taro obviously expected more and by being defeated by the champion, he took his loss to motivate him even more.
3 days later the Saiyan group was already packed and ready to move to the city lords place, beginning their training.
On the way towards the city lord's palace, the Saiyan group coincidentally met Zinjo on the way. Zinjo turned to them and looked at Broly.
"Broly! I wanted to say sorry about what happened in the tournament. After Zyrd woke up, he told me that he provoked you for being different than the other Saiyans, so he kind of had it coming. Zyrd wouldn't have made it to the top 10 anyway."
Broly stared at him for a second before responding. "No worries. Well there is still the conflict between our races, so we would have clashed even if he hadn't deliberately provoked me."
"Hmm? You care about that?"
"Eh? You don't?" Broly becoming puzzled as he remembered Zyrd being rather hostile towards him since the start. Broly thought it had something to do with the conflict between them even though he himself didn't know about the conflict itself.
"Well it's only about the privileges of the fruit of life and the land you got. Actually, only the higher ups are upset about that, most of us don't really care. Ah. Yeah. Zyrd was just really nervous and tried to hide it by being over aggressive."
"Wait. So, I crushed him because he was a nervous train wreck? Oh god. No wonder he vomited all over the place."
"Don't worry, it was his own fault after all. Although many of us were infuriated by the way you handled him but Zyrd took full fault for it and calmed the rest down. I think it is the best if we just have a fresh start, the two of us at least. Forget about the tournament and start anew?"
"Sure, why not?" Broly answered as he grasped Zinjo's outstretched hand. He was feeling slightly guilty how he humiliated Zyrd, so it would be best just to accept this proposal of peace.
The 10 were gathered on an open court, standing in front of the city lord waiting for him to speak.
"Now you have proven yourself to be the strongest of your race and among the other races. You should be proud to achieve your level of strength at your tender age. Of course, this is not the limit of your capabilities.
As my disciples and the future pillars of this planet it is my duty to train you within the best of my ability. But. I'm no saint. You will have to work for the technique I have arduously created throughout my life. Most of those techniques however are manuals that I found when I was out in space seeking adventures.
That is where the credit points take in their purpose. In the library to your left will be those techniques where you can exchange them if you have enough cp. On your right are the training rooms, where I will be holding general classes every morning for 4 hours. You can also always ask me about problems you might have, it is not restricted by the classes. Behind me are your rooms and the canteen. We will start tomorrow, you can have a look around and settle in today."
As he said that they all went around to have a look. First, they claimed their rooms. They were all 80 square meters big. With one room for their bed and another for the toilet. Apparently, they also had an open-air hot spring bath they shared.
The training rooms were more than enough for everyone to claim one and it seemed like that was indeed the intention as all the keys were open for one to take. It appeared like the rooms were made of Katchin, one of the strongest metals in the universe, as it was entirely black. Well this was what Broly concluded as he punched the walls and nearly breaking his hand in the process.
After settling their stuff, they went to the library. They were greeted with hundreds of books. Astonishing considering that this was the city lord's personal collection. It seemed that the city lord was a collector. They started to browse through the books and only saw a summary of the technique and the amount of cp they would need to exchange of it.
They were all divided into ranks from F to A, with F being the lowest and A being the highest. There were also different categories for different applications like movement-, attack-, defense-skills...
While they were looking through the books, they realized that many of the lower rank books described how to send out ki-beams, but why would there be so many books to describe the same thing over again.
For a few hours they looked through the books, until most had already their eyes on a few techniques they wanted to learn. They were eager to exchange for them, but the librarian, a Hera, told them to at least wait for a few months, so they wouldn't hastily waste their cp.
Broly also had few books, he was interested in. Ki attacks that he saw in the series back in his past life, like the Spirit Sword, a blade-shaped energy wave technique used by Vegito, or the Rapid Movement skill to increase the speed for dodging or to create after-images. If Broly could he would want to learn everything but as he saw the amount of cp needed, he quickly lost hope, but of course he would heed the advice of the librarian and see what the city lord would teach.
