Recovery

'What happened!?'

'Where I am?!'

Rolling his eyes around, Rick realized.

"I... Did I lose?" asked Rick, who had his head bandaged and his body tied in a hospital chair.

"you're right!"

Forcibly turning his head to the left, he could see Brief entering the room.

"Heh... How long have I been sleeping?"

"You've been sleeping for three days."

"And the tournament?"

"Just "

"Did Roshi win? No, that's for sure.

What happened to Roshi?

Did he give up on me?

Or did he accept me as a disciple?"

"You do not remember?"

"Remember what?"

"He already accepted you as a disciple, and even he showed you that he is suitable to teach you.

Ha ha ha! I'm honestly a little jealous.

Even after winning the tournament yesterday, he came to visit you and give you a note, it is the location of his private land. A unique island in the world!

No, before it was not unique, it became unique, because now it is the only property of Master Roshi, the king ordered the army to take all his belongings to the island, although now it is empty, he mentioned to build a house with a guest room, for when you visit him.

Here is the letter."

(Sorry about the jaw, you'll cure it somehow. I have a solution, in case you can't find one yourself.

In any case, come see me once you are ready for your first training.

Sincerely, Muten Roshi.)

"What about my jaw?"

"Oh yeah, sorry, here you go" Brief said as he handed her a mirror.

Now, although he couldn't feel anything, he still saw

That half of the lower jaw was missing.

"Fuck you!?"

'My beautiful face! How am I going to flirt in the future? Well, I can repair my teeth with the return of life, but how many people have seen my deplorable state now?

It's terrible! No! I have to eliminate witnesses!'

He thought and then glared fiercely at Brief.

"What? Hey hey don't look at me like that!

Well, don't you want to watch the rest of the tournament? I have a tape."

He said it to put it on the player on the television in front.

He then sped up the tape to Rick's final showdown against Roshi.

Originally there were no such advanced video cameras at this time, but since Brief knew that he could not see the fight with his reaction speed, he decided to create a camera capable of recording the fights, he also created a player and an adapter so that it can connect with the TV. He showed the technology to the referee so he let him record from the second fight, wanting all tournaments to be recorded in the future.

Returning his gaze to the screen Rick watched as Roshi in his inflated form delivered a hook into the air where he suddenly appeared to spin back monstrously fast against the ground behind the hole.

"Now everyone will know how I lost to Roshi"

Rick said dejectedly.

" You're wrong "

"That?"

"Yes, you are wrong about something, you are the first person to hit Master Roshi since the first tournament, from his disciple to his archenemy, none of them could do it, even though the fights get worse and the rules are broken by their opponents.

Or tournament rules get in the way, it was never reached.

And you were the first to hit him live!

Be proud, even if it wasn't his first time receiving one, you were the last one, who knows? In 5 years? A decade?"

"Hahahaha, you made me blush"

"Yes..., isn't it incredible?" Brief said with excitement.

"Hey?"

"I mean martial arts, aren't they amazing? I've already made up my mind, I'll accept your training.

I will become your first disciple!

Don't worry, I'll still continue researching science, you won't be left without training equipment.

However, I will have to separate from Panchi, not even I can do three things as important at the same time as my personal life, science and martial arts."

"Thats...!?"

'He can't leave Panchi! What will happen to the sexy and naughty Bulma?'

"Listen to me Brief, as a martial arts master I will give you your first lesson.

The life of a martial artist does not have to be lonely, it must be full of setbacks and sweetness that make your life full, without proper rest your body will tear and the tension will make you explode, what I want to tell you is, You can sacrifice your time but not your love!

I am young and I fell in love with martial arts! I dont know if i could get a Girlfriend!

Don't give up easily!"

"Rick...I mean little master!

Don't worry, somehow I will follow your teachings."

With that, Dr. Brief left the hospital to contact Rick's other family and friends and tell them about his health, and then went to meet Panchi.

After that, more family members like Rockero, Artem and his wife came.

Artem congratulated him for meeting his expectations in the tournament.

And Rockero conveyed to him his desire to be accepted as a disciple in order to learn martial arts and become more powerful.

Being alone in the hospital and being bored, he asked Rockero to bring him meat with bones and milk with calcium. To apply the return of life.

He needed about three feeding sessions to repair his broken jaw, and another four to repair his injured body.

Before leaving the hospital, Rockero brought him a newspaper with information about the recent changes in the world, such as his loss in the tournament as well as his skill in it, such as the victory of Master Roshi and his newly acquired island together.

To the military escort and other things such as the loss of memory of one of the tournament contestants, the disappearance of the crane school, the most recent inventions, such as Dr. Brief's video camera and the super microscope developed by Dr. Gero.

The new world-famous lovebirds.

The sudden emergence of a new race like mermaids, their near extinction by provoking humans, their new refuge in forbidden waters.

He had been through a lot lately but for him it was not enough to divert his path, he had already planned his next plans, giving instructions to his new disciples and going to train directly with Master Roshi, he was eager for rapid development, so he called both men, to give them a training guide and assure them that they could ask him whatever they wanted when they had doubts, for now they were prohibited from accepting more disciples without his permission.
