Chapter 6: Timely Changes

  Lunch came and went quickly, the moment he finished washing his dishes, he was immediately pulled to the gym by the excited Gine

  Only to stop her and take her to get clothes. While it would be interesting to watch her work out in a towel, he decided to be a gentleman

  After getting her clothed, they walked towards the gym. Toro watched she walked towards the squat rack, walking around it before she turned to look at him in confusion

  " how do you use this? "

  Shaking his head, Toro walked towards the rack and loaded on the ptes for today's work out, using his set to demonstrate how to properly squat

  With this memories of his previous life, the pns from the gravity room which push you to your limit and the meditation room, his form was pretty close to as perfect as possible

  After he finished his set, he took the ptes off of the bar, and motioned for Gine to walk towards the bar

  She walked towards it excitedly and tried replicating what she saw Toro do

  Who stood at the side and corrected her form. After she corrected her form and he felt she was properly warmed up with the thousand pound bar

  He took her through a set of squats before he finished his own

  He found that in terms of strength, she was fully capable of lifting the weight, the problem came in terms of her muscur endurance.

  When she reached her physical limit, he found that unlike himself, Ki would kick in and further fuel her muscles allowing her to keep going, adding extra reps to her set

  Which would expin why reps in the original dragon ball were numbered in the thousands

  He was curious as to what affect Ki had on ctic acid

  Shaking away the strange thoughts he brought her through a full body work out.

  Only to forget that he didn't currently have the healing pool, and for the first time in months, he felt sore after a workout

  After picking the panting Gine off the ground and putting her down in the living room. He dragged his body towards the kitchen to prepare today's meal

  After they finished eating, he taught her how to meditate

  After an unknown amount of time, he turned his attention to the sound of light snoring, finding Gine beside him sleeping on the chair

  Chuckling slightly, he lifted her and took her to her room, after putting her on her bed and covering her with a bnket he left and went towards his room

  ***

  Toro suddenly opened his eyes in confusion, feeling a warm breath on his neck

  Gncing to the side, he found a head of spiky hair, blinking his eyes, memories of what happened yesterday returned to him

  " right, Gine " muttered Toro as he sat up removing Gines arms from around him, she groaned in her sleep, seemingly dissatisfied with his actions

  Covering her with his bnket, he got up and walked towards the kitchen. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable as he usually ended his nights with a bath in the healing pool which meant he woke up perfectly fine

  This was the first time in months, he woke up sore. While much better than st night because of his healing factor

  { Authors note : in this book, saiyans heal about 10 times faster than humans ie. Skin injuries which take days for humans may heal in a matter of hours for saiyans }

  " I'm getting too dependent on the Omni tower " said Toro as he stretched

  Did this mean that he intended to stop using it or lessen his use of it?

  No. His current strength while dependent on the tower was mostly because of his hard work

  The only thing he truly depended on was the healing pool. He had learned the technique of Ki conversion and could do it without the tower

  And there were multiple ways to get a gravity chamber in dragon ball. So even if the tower up and left one day. It'd just be more tedious for him to get stronger, not impossible

  If you gave this tower to the likes of someone like yajirobe it'd become nothing more than a useless decoration. A tool can only be as useful as the person using it

  Shaking away the stray thoughts, he made his way to the kitchen, deciding to make a simple breakfast

  As he was busy in the kitchen, Gine came inside rubbing her eyes

  " good morning Toro " said Gine with a bright smile when she saw Toro gnce at her, walking towards him and giving him a hug

  Toro who was hugged from behind was confused. He didn't think he was some harem protagonist who made women fall head over heels for him, so regardless of him saving her, he didn't get why she was so attached to him

  Only for her description in the original book to fsh in his mind

  ' She's the one who pursued Bardock 'thought Toro, which made him aware of another phenomenon

  Whether, Bardock, Goku or Vegeta. None of them pursued women. Their women pursued them

  If it was up to Goku, Gohan and Goten would probably never exist.

  Speaking of, the only man he could remember in the original who pursued a woman was Krillin

  Which made him wonder if saiyan men were passive which would mean saiyan women are the active ones.....

  With this thought in mind, her behavior wasn't so strange or confusing

  Ignoring her arms around him, he continued cooking. When he was nearly done he raised his head to look at Gine behind him

  " go get the ptes "

  Nodding her head, Gine left and walked to the cupboards and took down 2 ptes and pced them on the table

  ***

  After eating and washing up, Toro decided to switch it up since he couldn't do gravity training and decided to spar with Gine to kill time and to practice

  Gine agreed without hesitation. While she didn't care much for killing, she found that she enjoyed training with Toro

  As he didn't learn any martial arts, he took a boxing stance, he had learned boxing for about 2 years in his previous life and it became his dominant fighting style in this life

  As they started sparing, even if he used the same amount of strength as her he found her to be slow

  He could easily dodge or parry any of her attacks. As the spar progress he found started letting some of her attacks hit him and came to the conclusion that he spent more energy dodging her attack than he did taking it

  So he simply stopped blocking, focusing entirely on attacking. He gradually started to suppress her, only for her to suddenly gather a ball of ki in her hand

  Watching her in confusion, only for her to shoot it at his feet, kicking up a cloud of dust. Squinting his eyes, he suddenly felt himself get kicked off bance as Gine swept his leg, knocking him down before quickly straddling him

  " well pyed " said Toro as he looked at Gine

  " hehe I found thaty you're really good at punching but you don't kick, so I figured your weakness was your legs and it worked " said Gine as she looked down at Toro before helping him to his feet

  Toro nodded his head at her words, not embarrassed at being put on his ass. That was the point of sparring, practice

  And here he has a more experienced fighter to spar against. While she wasn't as strong as him, she could still teach him a lot

  So for the next 2 hours, he continued to spar with Gine, 7 out of 10 times, he ended up being put on his ass. Every time he felt like he managed to evolve his style, she used another way to crack it

  Which erased the arrogance he had gained over the past year. Gine eventually retired as she wasn't cut out as a warrior yet, she could toy around with him at the same power level

  What amazed him was how simple it was each and every time. The only reason he didn't lose all 10 out of 10 times was because of his physical superiority

  He was faster, stronger and more durable, he could take 20 of her attacks, while one of his would put her down

  Which reminded him of that body builder vs fighter argument in his previous life

  After they finished, he decided to make lunch

  While they were eating, a panel fshed in front of his face. Seeing this, Toro froze for a second before he resumed eating. Deciding to check it out when he was finished

  After they headed to the gym, Toro instructed Gine on her pn for today before he excused himself

  Back in his room, he entered the tower. Finding that it now had two floors, walking inside, he found that the first floor was the same besides a stair case that was added

  Walking upstairs, he found that this floor had 5 rooms stead of 3

  Walking towards the first door. He found that it was the gravity room, he clicked on the panel to see what had changed

  { Gravity room Level 2 }

  Adjustable Gravity : 1-100

  Increases training speed by 30%

  More accurate training pns

  Conjour weight training equipment 1-100 tons

  Seeing this, Toro found himself excited, this was more than enough for his next set of training. Though this meant that all the equipment he had made will go to waste but its better than nothing.

  While he probably couldn't reach a powerlevel of 90,000 like goku, he'd be satisfied with 50,000

  This was because, Goku had zenkai boosts after his fight with Vegeta, the gravity training just helped With the increase in power level

  Walking to the opposite room, he found that it was the healing pool. It was the same size but the water was much darker than the one on the first floor

  { Name: Toro } { Race : Saiyan } { Age : 6 } Power level : 157 Ki / 1001 Blood Ki }

  [ Status : Injured 12% ]

  { Level 2 Healing Pool : Heals 30% of injuries, rather internal or external }

  [ Duration : 50 minutes ]

  [ Cool down : 20 Hours ]

  Seeing this 2 panels, Toro wasn't as surprised as before after seeing the gravity room as he turned and walked towards the room on the opposite side of the gravity room

  Finding it to be the meditation room

  { Level 2 Meditation Room : increases comprehension by 30% }

  [ Mental Incense : Increases comprehension by 15% ]

  [ Duration : 2.5 hours ]

  [ Restocks 1.5 incense every 24 hours ]

  Not lingering, he turned and walk to the room next to this, curious as to what it was. Looking inside he found a plot of nd 20m long x 10m wide

  Besides this was what looked like a animal pen, about the same size as the plot of nd. With a strange looking shovel and hoe leaning against the door of the animal pen

  { Level 1 Cultivation Room : Increases growth rate of pnts and animals by 20% }

  [ KI fertilizer : Increases Ki content found in pnts by 10% ]

  [ Ki Animal Feed : Increases Ki content in meat animals by 10% ]

  [ Restocks 2 KI fertilizer and 5 KI Animal Feed every 24 hours ]

  Reading this panel, Toro burst into ughter, no minding his image as he walked into the room in excitement

  This room was arguably more important than any of the rooms prior. Food is the one telling weakness of saiyans, not to mention that your diet can make or break your workout routine

  With this room, his training should have even more improvement

  After calming himself, he walked towards the final room, he didn't care what it was, as he was completely satisfied with the 4 before this

  After walking into the room, he found that it was empty besides what looked like a wooden dummy

  He brought up the panel for the room in confusion

  { Level 1 Battle room : creates an opponent to practice fighting skills or increase ki control }

  [ Level 1 Ki control : 5 stages, beginner ( 10% ) novice ( 30% ) elite ( 50% ) master ( 70% ) perfect ( 100% )

  * numbers inside brackets imply how much of your ki you can control *

  Limit Powerlevel : 100, 000

  Opponents can be set to have ki control at any of the 5 stages, the only way to end the battle is to kill the opponent or be killed by the opponent

  Will be resurrected will full health outside the tower

  [ Cool down : 24 hours ]
