Yuujin's Ambition

The sun was shining, and the occasional cheerful calls of seagulls drifted in from afar.

"Ya ya ya ya ya!!!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!"

On the beach in front of Kame House, Goku and Son Gohan were sparring intensely, trading blows back and forth, enjoying the match immensely.

It had been several days since Yuujin and his group returned to Kame Island. Gohan had taken a liking to Goku and would train with her whenever he had the chance, guiding her in her practice. Though even ten Gohans wouldn't be a match for Goku's current strength, she didn't mind at all and just saw it as her "Grandpa Gohan" playing with her.

Nearby, Bulma, Tights, and Yuujin were lounging on beach chairs, wearing sunglasses, and relaxing in the sea breeze. Yuujin idly threw small energy blasts into the distant ocean, making waves explode in his boredom.

"Miss Bulma, Miss Tights, would you like some juice?"

At that moment, Master Roshi walked over, carrying two glasses of juice and looking pleased with himself.

"Thank you, Master Roshi."

"Don't mind if we do," Bulma and Tights replied, feeling a bit thirsty. They took the juice and thanked him before starting to drink.

"Heh heh heh... no need for thanks..."

"Actually, if you really want to thank me, maybe you could... show me your pa-pa-panties?" said Master Roshi, blushing a bit, looking bashful.

Tights face-palmed helplessly, and Bulma's eyebrow twitched before she kicked him off the beach—

"Get lost, you old pervert!!!"

As the so-called "God of Martial Arts" and the teacher of both Yuujin and Goku, Bulma and Tights initially had great respect for Master Roshi. However, his shameless habit of asking to see their underwear quickly wore out their patience.

"Ow ow ow..." Master Roshi groaned as he struggled to his feet, while Yuujin sighed.

"Master Roshi, Bulma and Tights are, after all, your disciples' girlfriends. Show a little restraint, won't you?"

"What's the big deal? I just want to take a look at their panties; it's not like they'll lose a piece of themselves," replied Master Roshi shamelessly, leaving Yuujin with nothing but a headache.

Originally, Yuujin had planned to stay for a while, but seeing Master Roshi abandoning all dignity as a martial artist, plunging deeper into his perverted ways, he decided it might be best to leave soon. After all, he didn't want Bulma and Tights caught in his antics.

"Yuujin, come play too!"

Finished with her match, Goku came bouncing over and tackled Yuujin.

"Let me rest first!" said Yuujin, exasperated at Goku's boundless energy.

Goku just smiled brightly and rubbed her sweaty face against him.

"Brother Gohan, did Goku hurt you at all?" Yuujin asked as Gohan, rubbing his sore arm, walked over, grimacing.

"Sigh, I'm getting old. I can't keep up with Goku anymore," Gohan said, a bit disappointed, but mostly happy. Seeing how powerful Goku had become, even surpassing himself and Master Roshi, filled him with pride.

Master Roshi and Gohan were indeed both formidable fighters by human standards, but compared to Yuujin and Goku, their strength now felt somewhat inadequate.

"Master Roshi, Gohan, we plan to leave tomorrow."

After some thought, Yuujin finally spoke up.

"You've only just returned; is there something urgent?" They were surprised, and Master Roshi asked.

"I'm planning to challenge a god."

"A god? Do you mean Master Karin?"

"With your strength now, even Master Karin probably isn't a match for you, is he?" Master Roshi asked, puzzled.

"No, I'm not talking about Master Karin. I'm referring to the god who lives in the Heavenly Temple," Yuujin replied, shaking his head.

Master Roshi was visibly shocked.

"You intend to challenge that god?!"

Few people knew about the existence of such a god, but as Master Roshi had once climbed Karin Tower, he had learned some things about the heavenly realm. Master Karin had once told him that above him was an even higher god, the one who truly governs the Earth.

"That's right."

Master Roshi exhaled deeply, looking at Yuujin with a complex expression.

"To think that your power has already reached that level..."

To Master Roshi, it seemed that Yuujin's motivation was to test his strength, but in truth, his power far exceeded that of the god he intended to challenge. His real goal wasn't just to test himself but to claim the god's position!

Of course, he wasn't about to reveal that just yet.

"Master Roshi, I've already informed Master Karin, who has probably relayed my intentions to the god in the Heavenly Temple. Tomorrow, I plan to take Goku, Bulma, and Tights with me. Would you and Brother Gohan like to come and watch?"

"Yes, of course! No martial artist would want to miss this chance!" said Master Roshi without hesitation, and Gohan, excited, agreed.

The idea of a mortal challenging a god was enough to make any martial artist's blood boil!

"Then it's decided; tomorrow, we'll all go together," Yuujin said with a smile.

Although he could challenge the god alone, doing so without an audience would feel empty. Now that he was in this world, Yuujin was determined not to live an ordinary life. He didn't just want to fight and train; he had grand ambitions to fulfill.

(T/N: Average edgy teen's fever dream)

And challenging the god to seize his position was the first step toward realizing those ambitions.

After dinner, everyone turned in early to rest for the journey.

In the room, Goku was already fast asleep, curled up on Yuujin, while Bulma and Tights lay on either side of him, too excited to sleep.

"Hey, Yuujin, aside from that big fat cat, is there really such a thing as a god?" Bulma asked, hugging one of Yuujin's arms.

"You've asked that a hundred times already, Bulma," Yuujin said, yawning.

"But I'm so excited! Tomorrow, you're actually going to challenge a god—it's just thrilling to think about!"

"Mhm, me too! It sounds so amazing," Tights added, nodding eagerly.

"It's just a god; what's there to be excited about? Once I become a god, you'll both be goddesses alongside me. Then you can celebrate all you want."

Yuujin tapped their noses with a grin.

"G-Goddesses..."

Bulma and Tights exchanged a look, their eyes sparkling.
