Chapter 22 25th Budokai

Eero replied and talked with Goku and others as for Piccolo and Vegeta standing far away stingily.

Eero didn't care about them, just glanced at others, then looking at Videl, spoke, "I didn't expect you would abduct the class beauty's Gohan."

Gohan scratched his head with a shy smile. Looking at Videl, her face also turned red in anger looking at Eero. 'This guy is rude; what do you mean by abduct?'

Eero was speechless looking at Gohan and Videl thoughtfully, 'Shy sissy and an always angry tomboy, what a rare combination.'

"Your name is Eero, right? It seems you are participating for the first time in the tournament. Be careful about other martial artists; you don't look so strong," Krillin reminded with a big smile.

Eero nodded with a smile, "I just want to have fun; if I am not an opponent, I will simply admit defeat."

Everyone was speechless around, especially Vegeta, who shook his head and spoke, "Cowards only admit defeats."

Eero was speechless looking at wry smiles on everyone's faces, then glanced at Vegeta. 'What's wrong with this tsundere? Why is he so upset? It seems this guy doesn't like me'.

Eero then didn't care; he just glanced at the ground thoughtfully. 'I don't care if someone behaves badly; I wouldn't give him a second look, whether he is some prince or king; all are beneath my feet. Even as a normal human, I am much nobler than any noble and arrogant in this dimension.'

Eero then started looking around calmly, looking at other participants coming and joining the tournament curiously.

"Let's go; we are getting late," Gohan spoke.

Eero nodded and then went along with them toward the tournament field.

…

Looking at the two groups of teams, one is the junior warrior division, and the other is the senior warrior division.

Participants under age 15 are allotted to the junior competition, including Trunks and Goten.

'So this is the tournament atmosphere; it's surely fun.' Eero became intrigued looking at the fighting arena and the audience around. It's the first time he is participating in such a tournament.

After a while, the tournament begins with the Junior group first and then the Adult group.

Goten and Trunks, who are in the Junior Division, easily defeat their opponents and make it all the way to the finals.

In the final round, they fight each other. Both boys cheated countless times, such as using energy to attack each other.

Eero was interestingly looking at their figure while all the audience around were shocked with dislocated jaws.

Chi-Chi and Bulma argue whose son will win. In the midst of the battle,

Eero was listening to their arguments and interaction become thoughtful. 'I remember I also have a mother. Will she be happy if I ever find her?'

Then Eero shook his head; his eyes became deeper. 'Maybe not; the race I belong to may not have emotions. That's why I didn't want to activate my original body. If I find my mother and she denies recognizing me, then it will be very painful.'

Taking a deep breath and looking at Trunks and Goten on stage, Trunks grabbed and locked Goten's neck, but Goten transformed into Super Saiyan, which broke their pact that they must not transform in order to avoid unnecessary attention.

Otherwise, humans will recognize them as golden warriors who destroyed Cell six years ago, during the 19th Budokai tournament.

As expected, the audience was shocked looking at Goten, especially Satan, who was horrified to see that the boy resembled the blonde-haired warrior who beat Cell.

While Eero was looking at Trunks and Goten further fight, he shook his head, 'These guys' usage of Ki is very rough and repugnant.'

Trunks bet that he could beat Goten without using his left arm, but this gave Goten the advantage.

In the end, Trunks won by transforming and using an energy blast to push Goten out of the arena.

Trunks became the Junior Champion. Eero sighed; thankfully, everything is over. Then, he became a little excited; finally, it's his turn.

Waiting for a while, a list of Senior Division Versus battles was announced. Looking at a lot of names in front of his name, Eero was speechless. It seems a lot of martial artists signed up for this competition.

After a while, the competition started.

Looking at Z warriors defeating their opponents effortlessly with a light punch, kick, and punches, even Videl is doing well. 'As expected of Tombay personality,' Eero thought to himself.

Eero vs. Genih

Eero was speechless looking at the name; he thought he was fighting a genie, such weird names. Walked and appeared on stage.

Looking at Eero's slim body structure and Genih's burly muscular body, the audience was disappointed. 'This match he will lose; I bet on Genih.' A lot of audience are betting against Eero.

Z warriors were also looking at the stage interestingly. "Hmph, your friend should admit defeat," Vegeta spoke. Gohan scratched his head embarrassingly.

Eero was looking at Genih curiously, a burly man about 40 to 45 years old, just muscles, nothing else. Genih smiled evilly, looking at Eero, and reminded, "Little kid, hurry up, get lost, or you will break some of your bones."

Eero raised his brow, gazed around, and asked curiously, "I can't see your father around; who are you talking to?" The audience was also puzzled.

Genih spoke more evilly, "I am talking to you."

"Pufft," the referee controlled his laughter; a few audience members started laughing. After a while, a lot of people realized and started laughing loudly.

Eero was speechless. 'This guy is brainless.'

Genih came back to his senses; his face turned red and blue. "Bastard, how dare you make fun of me?" Spoke gritting his teeth,

"I will teach you a lesson." Spoke and then ran in the direction of Eero to attack. Instantly his fist halted in front of Eero; he couldn't move forward; he felt as if some invisible barrier was stopping his punch.

Genih's face changed. "What's with this Ki?" he exclaimed in horror.

"Let me show you the correct usage of Ki," Eero spoke calmly with his hands in his pockets and glanced in frozen Genih's direction, who was trying to forcefully break his Ki blockage in order to punch him.

In the next instant, an invisible layer of Ki separated from Eero's body and blasted the Genih; a punch-shaped dent appeared on his chest.

An invisible ripple spread through his body and scattered from the back direction in the surrounding area; even the air regressed and scattered around him, and the arena below cracked.

Genih's eyeball protruded out with visible red veins, and he spat liquid from his mouth; he flew back sky-high like a cotton and fell outside the ring.

Thud! Dust splattered.

The referee and audience took a breath instantly, looking at the huge blue punch mark on Genih's wide dented chest in horror.

'What happened?'
