"Y-You… want me to what?" the raven haired girl asked the spiky haired boy in disbelief.
Waving the bang out of his face, the young Super Saiyan 2 grinned, "I want you to come at me with everything you've got. If you can hit me, I'll congratulate you with a body shot. If you can avoid my blast, I'll reward you with another. Got it?"
The young martial artist stammered nervously. "B-But… what… HOLD ON JUST A SECOND," Videl exclaimed while waving her arms frantically and pointing at him, "I can't fight you, Gohan! You'll destroy me with just a tap of your finger… especially when you're like that!" She added to this by referring to his temporary blonde hairstyling and transformed appearance.
Gohan chuckled at her flustered expression and adjusted his wristbands, "Don't worry, Videl. I'm suppressing my ki as low as it can possibly go without breaking this state. That means not only will I be able to work hard without hurting you, I'll be getting you to fight at your absolute best as well." He then narrowed his gaze as the girl stared firmly back at him, "Listen; if you want to become as strong as us, then you're going to have to spar with me every single day. By continuing to push yourself beyond what you're capable of and using everything you've learned in all of our spars, you'll become stronger and stronger the further we go." He then gave her a serious look. "Can you do that for me?"
At first sweating up a storm and appearing anxious as hell, the human fighter quickly weighed up her chances of fighting against the boy in such an overpowered form. However, knowing she came out here to work harder than ever before, Videl quickly made up her mind on the matter and dropped into a fighting stance. Though she was trembling like a leaf, she was still raring to go.
"Alright. Let's do it, Gohan," Videl said, a smirk forming on her lips. "I'm putting all of my trust in you."
"Yeah," the half-Saiyan replied, a proud smile appearing as he watched his friend settle into full fighting form just several feet away from him. Looking at her right now, adorned in his colors and facing him down the way she was, she reminded him of what he used to be back when he first sparred with Piccolo all those years ago.
It was a wash of nostalgia that hit the Namekian as well, who was still watching the pair closely from a nearby tree. Even Zangya was paying close attention to them.
'Now,' Gohan thought, taking a deep breath and letting it out. Spreading his feet till they were shoulder width apart and letting his hands rest firmly at his sides, the boy took a moment to suppress his energy level. Upon pushing it down as low as it could possibly go, he then opened his eyes and fixed his sights upon his student. A bead of sweat formed on his brow, "Remember Videl… don't forget to dodge."
With a nod and a growl, Videl let out a hearty battle cry and charged right at her opponent. As soon as she was upon him, she opened up with a flurry of attacks; punches and kicks flying at her target in an effort to bring him down. The second her attacks were loose, Gohan began effortlessly slipping around them, presenting the girl with a moving adversary that she now had to try and catch.
Yelling out with every swing she threw, the girl attempted to outflank the blonde as she chased him across the grass, the pair circling the clearing at least three times before Gohan decided to counter attack.
Dodging a roundhouse kick, Gohan then got right up into the girl's face and, lifting his hand, threw a light palm strike into her surprised mug. The blow smacked her square in the forehead and sent the energetic youngster blasting back across the field, where she ended up tumbling along the ground for over a dozen yards. When she ended up falling behind a boulder, with a cloud of dust hanging in her wake, the demi-Saiyan thought he'd knocked her out. A split second later though, Videl came charging right back with a yell, and nothing but dirt on her clothes and a bruise on her forehead.
'Perfect. This is exactly where I want to be,' Gohan thought, smiling as he began excessively weaving around the girl's attacks once again.
Unleashing another flurry of combinations, Videl tried to at least clip the blonde in the shoulder. However, when she tried for a right overhand, she suddenly saw the boy vanish into thin air, causing her to stop for but a moment.
This was her mistake, because the instant she looked over her shoulder, she saw the boy, who'd appeared directly behind her, raise his foot and kick her in the rear, sending her flying and crashing into another boulder. When she hit the grass, the girl groaned and glared back at him.
"Keep your eye on the enemy," Gohan coached.
Groaning as she rubbed her side, Videl frowned at the Saiyan, "But you disappeared. I couldn't see you at all."
"You're going to have to learn to keep up with this kind of speed. You have to use all of your senses to keep track of your opponent… all of them," the young Super Saiyan 2 informed, a smirk appearing on his face. "If you can't see the enemy, then feel them out. And remember; don't make yourself an easy target. You have to keep moving." He then raised his hand and took aim.
"Ugh. Easier said than-WHOA!" Videl barreled out of the way, dodging a fast moving energy ball, that slammed into the boulder she'd been leaning against and slapped a perfectly shaped burn mark in its side. Jumping to her feet after her skillful evasion, the girl shot him a look, "HEY! What the hell-?"
"No time to talk," Gohan chirped, throwing another blast her way and prompting the girl to move once again. He continued lobbing energy spheres in Videl's direction, bombarding the ground when she leapt and ducked around them, "Don't just dodge, Videl. Get inside and attack!" His instruction getting through to her, the half-Saiyan fired another barrage of weak blasts, prompting the young fighter to move in as fast as she could and leap at the boy with another onslaught of attacks. However, the moment she swung in, the boy disappeared again and reappeared at her side.
Throwing a slow combo of attacks, he prompted Videl to duck a kick and slip a left jab, only to then tap her with a kick to the stomach that sent her spiraling across the field. When she hit the ground, she took up a crouched position and stared across at her instructor, panting heavily.
"Good. Keep it up," Gohan encouraged, watching the girl rub at the bruise on her face. After which she went after him once again, unleashing a combination of attacks that had the young Saiyan dodging around her in a blur. All the while the two of them were watched on by a fully invested Zangya and Piccolo, both of whom continued to observe quietly from the sidelines.
Taking full advantage of her weighted clothing, the demi-Saiyan had Videl fight him using all of the skills she had at her disposal. While pushing himself in his own exercises, he encouraged her to do her very best as well, beating her into the ground with attacks that were strong by normal human standards yet at the same time making extra certain not to seriously injure her.
He made sure to up the ante the further along they progressed.
The two of them continued this session until late afternoon, where Gohan then left a period of time at the end for Videl to work on any one of the skills she saw fit to improve; whether it was building her strength, meditating to improve her senses and state of mind, or sparring to continue polishing her fighting techniques. This period also allowed the demi-Saiyan an opportunity to work on his own training as well, where he spent time honing his techniques and building his strength. It didn't just allow him time to talk with Piccolo and learn how to use his magic materialization ability, he also had a perfect chance to practice his control over holding his Super Saiyan 2 form and using the technique Kana had given him before she left.
He began learning how to use the Instantaneous Movement technique, something he was eager to get down as soon as possible and add to his move set. It was after the first week and a half of training Videl he started practicing it.
