"Oh my. I can't believe I am seeing the current champion of the world martial arts tournament." Ms Brief said to me.
"I have heard Bulma talking on her phone to her friends about the handsome guy who won the tournament." She continued.
"Mom. You are embarrassing me. And why are you listening to me when I am on my phone calls?" Bulma said to her mother.
My mother was unable to say anything and just smiled along.
She can't offend them as the person who was in front of her was her boss's wife and her future boss.
"Ms Bulma. I heard that you are quite an adventurer." I said to Bulma.
"You can drop the miss. We aren't that far apart in age anyway." She said to me.
"Here. This is my business card." I said as I handed her a card with phone numbers. Both my landline and cell phone.
"Satori's bodyguarding service?" She said as she read the small business card.
"I will give you a 25% discount for your first time." I followed.
Trying to flirt with her while she is in a relationship is scummy. And I know I might not get much money if I just befriend her so a professional relationship is the best type of relationship I can have with her right now.
"Kei. You can't be rude." My mother said to me.
"It's alright Ms.Satori," Bulma replied.
Since this was my first official meeting with her I didn't try to make any types of requests or pull stunts that would gain her favor.
We all had a pleasant conversation and after finishing up all of the desserts we departed.
My mom insisted that she would pay but Bulma paid the bill in the end.
*****
The next day I was officially enrolled back into the school under a scholarship.
Not only that I also found out that I got unlimited leave of absence and favour from school alongside it.
I was not an academically gifted student and even the sport scholarship that I received before only provided 25% discount on school fees instead of being free.
Not only that it also comes with a job recommendation to Capsule corporation after finishing school.
So I knew it had to be the work of Bulma.
She seems to want to either seduce me or use me because of my strength which could even trouble Son Goku.
I am not entirely sure, while it is true that she is the type to fall in love quickly she is also the type to fall out of love easily too.
So I think it mostly has to do with the latter, with her only considering my appearance being a plus.
"Hey. Long time no see."
A friend of this body's said as he wrapped his arm around my neck.
"Yeah," I replied.
Normally as someone who wants to follow the path of a martial artist, I would need to cut all the connections that I made before.
As most of them were delinquents who only cared about girls, partying, drinking and doing all kinds of bad stuff but I knew that having those people around was not that bad either.
I would still need to have a social life outside of training.
After all, I only train because I know I have to if I don't want to get hurt.
I don't have cells in my body that encourage me to push myself to my limits unlike the others.
I need to enjoy my life so that I can convince myself that my life is still worth living.
"Tonight we are going out. Are you coming?" He asked.
He didn't mention where but I knew he was talking about going to the bar.
"You know the girl with a nice body from class 3, right? The girl whose body is said to be only second to Bulma Briefs." He continued.
I knew that judging by the way he was talking Bulma should be pretty popular at school.
It makes sense.
Since she is referred to as a busty girl by someone who likes partying and meets tons of people beautiful girls.
"I was wondering. Why don't I hear you guys inviting Bulma out?" I asked them.
I wanted to know if she was so popular at school why does she want to wish for a boyfriend in the first place.
"She is the child of the most wealthy man in the city, and she is capable of creating weapons that could blow up buildings. You should stay away from her as far as possible if you want to live." He warned me.
"I see," I replied.
"But it's not like no one tried. She has very high standards. And she is also rumoured to be dating the school's baseball club captain." He said to me.
He must be referring to Yamcha. I thought in my mind.
"By the way, I have a question. Are we getting separate bills?" I asked him.
"Separate bills? Of course not. Since we have not met in a while and I am the one who invited you of course I will pay." He replied.
I would have rejected his invitation if he had asked me to pay or pay my bill separately. But since he said he is paying I immediately agreed to his offer.
Someone with a debt attached to his name can't pass on a free dinner.

At the lab located in the mountain far far away.
"My preparation is complete. Now I just need to hiberate for a while to test my new body." Dr Gero said to himself.
During the period when Baba was helping with coneling Kei's information, Dr Gero was the only one who was able to bypass Baba's magic with his inventions and continue to monitor Kei.
With the information he gathered, he created a device that would help him replicate and copy all of Satori Kei's moves, abilities and powers that he was able to gather.
Not only that it can also improve and evolve them.
But using that device will get him into a long coma that will take years to wake up from.
He knew that Kei was not planning to destroy the red ribbon army and wanted to use that device to make himself stronger before Kei started to become wary of the army.
And his inventions can still be worked on by his supercomputer that has artificial intelligence alongside some of his aids that he carefully nurtured.
If everything goes according to his plan he would be able to become a person who can lead the Red Ribbon Army to be the unstoppable force on earth.
Of course, he didn't know at the time that the conflict between Son Goku and the Red Ribbon Army was going to occur while he was in his coma.
