Marvel's Magic Master

Chapter 857 Martial Arts Tournament Preliminaries Begin

In fact, George wasn't lying. Bick, who had been guiding his training during this time, could be considered his master in a way.

Furthermore, Piccolo was the runner-up in the World Martial Arts Tournament two years prior, while Goku was the champion.

In addition, why was his mother, Emma, ​​promoted to supervisor this month after working as a regular researcher for so many years?

That was naturally because of George.

From the very first day, he had already bestowed upon his mother and sister permanent good fortune.

Both of them will have a smooth and prosperous life.

"I support my brother, keep going, brother!"

Alice, whose face had already been dried, immediately jumped up and raised both hands in agreement when she heard that she could go play.

Emma thought about it for a moment and felt that George made sense. Not wanting to discourage her son, she finally nodded in agreement.

"Then Mom and my sister will go and cheer you on."

Even if you lose, it's okay. You've only just started learning; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

"I need to take a month's leave to properly cultivate with my master."

Seeing that Emma agreed, George took the opportunity to ask for leave.

Although I have a clone that can go to school in my place, it would definitely be better if I didn't have to go.

"Okay, I'll call the school in a bit to ask for leave for you."

Emma nodded. Given George's grades, taking a month off wouldn't have any impact.

The next day, George ostensibly went to the Temple of the Gods to focus on his training with Bick, but in reality, he embarked on a solo round-the-world journey.

They've already taken all the benefits from the Temple of Heaven, there's no need to stay there any longer.

Gohan is probably already entangled with Videl, so he doesn't plan to go over and disturb the young couple's relationship.

So he plans to take this time to travel around the world and prepare for replicating this world in the future.

So, starting from Satan City, George traveled through major cities including the Eastern Capital, the Northern Capital, the Central Capital, the Western Capital, and the Southern Capital.

He returned to Satan the day before the start of the World Martial Arts Tournament.

That very evening, he took his mother Emma and sister Alice by plane to the island where the World Martial Arts Tournament was being held.

The island where the World Martial Arts Tournament is held is located at the southernmost point of the world. It has beautiful scenery and is a popular resort destination in this world.

So even without the World Martial Arts Tournament, this place attracts many tourists throughout the year.

Of course, due to the World Martial Arts Tournament, there are especially many tourists these days.

"It seems there are no rooms available?"

The three arrived at a hotel that was relatively close to the martial arts tournament venue. Emma looked at the disappointed travelers carrying their suitcases as they walked out of the hotel, and she already knew what was going on.

"It seems we'll have to find a hotel a little further away."

Let alone during the World Martial Arts Tournament, it's not easy to book a hotel in such a good location even at other times.

"I'll go ask. Maybe we'll get lucky and there might still be some left."

George smiled and went straight inside.

Emma, ​​pulling Alice along as she ate cotton candy, followed George as he entered the hotel.

"Excuse me, are there any rooms available?"

"No, all the rooms were booked three days ago."

The receptionist with the fox-like face had barely finished speaking when the phone rang. After answering it, she immediately smiled and said to George:
"Two guests had to cancel their reservations due to unforeseen circumstances, so two rooms are now available."

"We'll take both rooms. How much?"

Emma's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she quickly took out the three people's identification documents and stepped forward.

"One room costs 20,000 Sony."

The front desk quoted a price.

Emma gritted her teeth, but still took out 40,000 Sony.

If she hadn't been promoted to company supervisor and her salary hadn't increased several times over, she really wouldn't have been willing to stay in such an expensive hotel.

But the next second, the fox receptionist looked at the computer and suddenly thought of something, then smiled and said:
"Congratulations, guests! You are the twentieth guest on our hotel's twentieth anniversary. You can stay for a week for free."

"real!"

Upon hearing this, Emma happily picked Alice up, feeling that she had been incredibly lucky lately.

In her more than thirty years of life, she has never won a prize.

"Luck doesn't come for nothing."

George was not surprised at all.

The currency in the Dragon Ball world is called Sony. One thousand Sony has a purchasing power roughly equivalent to five hundred dollars, and twenty thousand Sony has a purchasing power of one thousand dollars.

Two rooms cost two thousand yuan a day, and fourteen thousand yuan a week.

After checking in, we were led to our room by the staff. After settling in briefly, the three of us started exploring the island's night market.

The competition starts tomorrow, but most of the athletes, tourists and media have already arrived on the island.

Therefore, you can see famous martial arts fighters from all over the world, as well as their fans and reporters interviewing them.

Among them are some strangely shaped, tall, and frightening monsters.

Emma was terrified when she saw this and kept telling George that if they met in a game, he should immediately forfeit.

The next morning, after having breakfast, the three of them went to the martial arts tournament venue again.

There were even more people today than yesterday, especially in the areas near the venue.

As George approached the registration area, he immediately spotted Bick, who was standing in the shade of the trees nearby, resting with his eyes closed.

After registering, George led Emma and Alice over to say hello.

"This is Mr. Piccolo, who guided my spiritual practice."

"These are my mother, Emma, ​​and my sister, Alice."

Bick nodded, as if to say hello.

Emma, ​​on the other hand, bowed deeply in respect.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Bick, for taking care of George during this time!"

"He has talent of his own."

Bick replied, somewhat embarrassed.

He didn't actually teach George for more than a few days, yet George learned all the skills.

"Gohan and the others haven't arrived yet?"

George scanned the entire island with his mental energy but did not sense Gohan or the others.

Bick shook his head:

"They're always late."

"Then let's wait here for a while."

George, along with Emma and her sister, sat on the steps in the shade nearby.

After sitting down, Emma whispered to George:

"Mr. Bick doesn't look too well. Is there something wrong with his health?"

"It's okay, that's just his natural skin color."

George glanced at Bick, who was resting with his eyes closed, and his lips twitched slightly. He then smiled and offered an explanation.

Namekians are born with hearing abilities that surpass those of normal people, so Piccolo could hear Emma's voice no matter how soft it was.

About half an hour later, George, who was playing with his younger sister Alice, suddenly had an idea and looked up at the sky in a certain direction.

His spiritual senses had already detected Gohan and his group, and he saw Gohan, Bulma, Krillin, and the others piloting a flying vehicle that had just entered the island and were landing.

This is what makes him different from the people of this world. Goku and the others use ki to determine the location of enemies and allies, even across vast distances, sometimes spanning planets and universes.

However, if the target tries its best to suppress its aura, then it can no longer be locked on.

But George is different. He doesn't just use his qi; he also uses his mental power and magic to see, so even if the qi is suppressed to the lowest level, he can still detect it immediately.

Ten minutes later, Gohan and his friends appeared at the martial arts tournament registration area and saw Piccolo, George, and the other three under the shade of a tree.

"Aunt Emma, ​​George, little Alice!"

Gohan walked over and greeted George's family first.

Emma looked at Gohan, who was wearing a white headscarf and a magic mirror that covered half of his face, paused for a moment, and then said somewhat uncertainly:

"Are you... Gohan?"

George had brought lunch to her house before, so she knew Gohan, but she almost didn't recognize him in this outfit.

"Aunt Emma, ​​don't you think this is cool?"

"Um"

Emma nodded somewhat reluctantly, while secretly thinking to herself, "Luckily, my son has a fairly normal sense of aesthetics."

"That's so cool! I want to transform into a champion of justice too!"

Alice took out her magic wand and pressed it, and the magic wand immediately began to flash.

"When you grow up, you can become a champion of justice."

Gohan picked up Alice and lifted her high in the air.

George, standing to the side, thought to himself:

"You don't need to grow up, you can do it in fifth grade."

The magic wand in Alice's hand is not an ordinary electronic toy, but a magical artifact that she specially created.

Six years from now, when Alice is in fifth grade, the Sparkler will truly activate.

When the time comes, Alice only needs to hold the Spark Lens and shout "Transform!" to transform into a magical girl and unleash all sorts of magic.

Normal crime fighting is no problem against enemies with a combat strength of less than 10,000.

This can be considered as fulfilling Alice's long-held dream of becoming a champion of justice.

It's perfect timing to take over Gohan and Videl's roles.

However, it's uncertain whether Alice will still be so immature back then, or whether she will still want to become a champion of justice.

But thinking about it carefully, I was only in fifth grade at the time. The "chuunibyou" syndrome can basically last until the second year of junior high school, and it's not until high school that I feel ashamed and come out of it.

After greeting George's family, Gohan looked at Piccolo and asked:
"Uncle Bick, have you seen Dad?"

"Not yet, Gohan. Are you really planning to wear this to the World Martial Arts Tournament?"

Piccolo shook his head, finding Gohan's current outfit, which was incredibly tacky, hard to understand.

"Ah! Mr. Satan is here! Mr. Satan is here!"

Just then, a flashy private luxury jet landed on the helipad at the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament venue.

Satan, who was exceptionally strong, stepped off the plane with his daughter, Videl.

In an instant, all the reporters and spectators who came to watch the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament flocked over.

"This guy is always like this, I can't stand him."

Bulma shook her head, one hand on her hip.

"Still the same old story, the horse doesn't know how long its face is."

Yamcha shrugged.

Klin smiled:
"There's nothing we can do about it. Everyone thinks he defeated Cell and saved the world."

"Although his fighting ability is not high, his acting skills are really good. It's a pity he's not an actor. He also has a quick mind."

Hearing Satan boasting to the reporters, George chuckled inwardly.

Satan's fighting power is already top-notch among ordinary people, otherwise he wouldn't have been the champion of the previous martial arts tournament.

Compared to people like Klin, it's like the difference between an ant and an elephant.

But this guy is indeed good in other aspects, otherwise he wouldn't be able to market himself so well and make so many people believe in him.

Later, in the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament, he relied on his cleverness to turn danger into safety several times and preserve his reputation.

And it was indeed his love that moved Buu, causing his kind side to emerge.

Because of his influence, the people of Earth were willing to give up their vital energy to help Goku condense the Spirit Bomb.

The prize money for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament has been increased from 500,000 to 10 million, mainly because the previous champion, Satan, was too good at marketing himself and attracted a lot of investment.

After everyone registered, they chatted together under the shade of a tree.

Gohan introduced George's family to Krillin, Master Roshi, Bulma, and others, and George's family quickly integrated into the group.

Emma was a newly promoted manager at the Satan City branch of the Capsule Corporation, so she naturally knew Bulma.

We weren't that close before.

Emma and Kiki both lost their husbands and raised two children alone, so they had a lot in common to talk about.

Alice and Klin's daughter are about the same age, and the two little ones can play together.

George, needless to say, was already familiar with Gohan and Piccolo, and knew the personalities and experiences of Krillin and the others. With just a few words, he greatly increased everyone's goodwill towards him.

"Everyone has changed so much!"

Just then, two figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

It was Wukong, who was cultivating in the underworld, who teleported over with the fortune teller.

"Goku!"

Everyone was excited to see Wukong, who had been dead for seven years, reappear.

Aside from George's family, almost everyone here was brought together and became friends because of Goku.

Even Piccolo and Vegeta were major villains in the past.

Wukong is the true protagonist of this world, the savior who saves the world time and time again.

They chatted for a while, and only when the registration deadline was approaching did Wukong go over and complete the registration.

Registration is now closed, and contestants are entering the venue to participate in the preliminary rounds.

The preliminary rounds were held inside the venue and were not accessible to non-participants or staff. Only those who qualified through the preliminary rounds were allowed to participate in the official competition.

The official matches will be held on the main stage, where spectators can watch from their seats.

Therefore, only Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Krillin, Android 18, and George are allowed to enter.

Goten and Transcendental participated in the junior group.

You can register directly for the junior group competition and participate directly. While the adult group is holding its preliminary rounds, the junior group competitions will begin.

This way, the audience can first watch the junior group matches for entertainment, and then watch the adult group matches.

"Go for it, brother! Beat them!"

As George entered the arena, Alice waved her transformation device, fiercely cheering for her brother George.

Emma, ​​however, was more concerned about George's safety and kept shouting:

"Participation is key, participation is key, safety first!"

"Don't worry, even if George doesn't get first place, he'll have no problem getting through the qualifiers."

Kiki patted Emma on the shoulder to comfort her.

She had heard Gohan say that George had an exceptionally high talent for training and that his strength might have already surpassed Krillin's.
