Students

It took me almost the whole day to fly to Sasebo city, mostly because I could only fly so fast without putting a strain on my body. As my reservoir of ki kept increasing day by day not being able to use it was becoming increasingly frustrating.

Several times during my flight I had to hold back and not increase the ki I was using to fly. Having body parts threaten to blow up while hundreds of feet in the air wasn't really on my to-do list.

When I finally reached Sasebo city the sun was starting to set and I needed a place to crash for the night.

I descended down into a lone alleyway into the city to make sure I didn't get spotted. I wanted a place to sleep and since I was going to go training soon I might as well sleep in a bed while I have the chance.

But first I needed to know where the hotels in the town were.

"Excuse me, do you know where the nearest hotel is?" I asked a person walking nearby. He was a young man with light blond hair and a cowboy hat.

"O just continue down this road and take a right when you see a building with a pointy bit on top. You can't miss it."

"Thanks," I said while running towards the direction mentioned.

It turns out the guy was pretty accurate with his descriptions of the place. The hotel was one of the largest buildings in the area and was decorated by a large spire.

I walked in and noticed that there were a bunch of brown-skinned men in white togas gathered around the desk.

"What do you mean there aren't enough rooms for all of us? Do you know who we are? You dare insult the students of the great king Chappa!"

The young lady at the desk stayed impressively calm as she spoke to the group of students trying to intimidate her.

"Once again all we have left is 2 single bedrooms, I'm sorry we really can't give you all a room"

Before they could keep arguing with her I stepped forward next to them.

"Can I have a single bedroom for the night please?"

The lady looked surprised that I just ignored the students of king Chappa but she remained professional nonetheless.

"Of course, that will be 1500 Zeni for the night."

I quickly handed her the money and took the key she offered.

Before I went to my room I turned towards the students still trying to negotiate with the clerk. I thought they would try to harass me for taking one of the remaining rooms but at least they had the decency not to bully a kid.

But this was the best chance I had at learning martial arts right now. I had no idea where kami Island was, and even if I did know there was no guarantee that Master Roshi would even help me train. Goku and Krillin had to kidnap a person for him to help them so I think that idea is out the window for now.

"You wouldn't happen to know the great King Chappa, would you? You guys are dressed pretty similar to him." I asked the one who had the highest ki in the group, though even his was almost nonexistent.

By the way his face lit up I could tell I had successfully sent out the bait he had caught on like a moth to a fire.

"You know of our teacher! To think his reputation had spread to the point where even kids know his name," he said with a hearty laugh.

"Yes, my father is a big fan of his martial arts. If he's your teacher is there any chance I can meet him?" I asked trying to sound as excited as possible.

"Ahh sorry kid. Right now our master is at his dojo in the south capitol training for the upcoming world martial arts tournament. He said his goal is to be crowned the best in the world this year. I don't think he will meet any fans or even his own students for quite some time."

"O that's ok. Thanks for helping." I said before I walked to my room.

Now I knew where to find the man I just had to get there. This was my chance to get real martial arts training from one of the best on Earth. I just needed to figure out how to convince him to train me.

After getting a good night's sleep at the hotel, I took off early the next morning to get to the southern continent.

I'm on Amenbo island right now so to get to the southern capital I would need to fly over to the southern continent. It wasn't too far of a journey but I still wanted to leave as soon as I could if I wanted to use my time efficiently.

Right at the crack of dawn, I flew out of my hotel room window and with a quick glance at my map to make sure I was flying in the right direction, I shot towards the southern continent.
