"Wow. I can't believe it" She has been starting at that tablet for 5 minutes already
Its the second time she has repeated that sentence
"You are 3 years old, how the hell do you have the mentality of a 20-year-old?"
Magic.. Duh
"And you have an IQ of 140!!! Even I only have 200, and that's right now. And you are still a child, so chances are it will grow"
Only 200! Bitch Einstein had 160 and the guy is the Godfather of Quantum Mechanics, and you have the gall to say ONLY?! Actually, there was someone in my old Life who broke through the 200IQ mark. And even they can't compare to Bulma. This girl actually built a time machine.
Does IQ work differently here? Let's say it is, why do I have 140 if it's higher than my former Life. I don't consider myself that much smarter than others, in fact, I would say I'm average.
"Well, it seems you have a bright future ahead of you. Your brain is more specialized in memory and calulation. Besides the fact that you have a photographic memory, you are just built for battle."
"Huh?" What do you mean built for battle?
"This one and this one" she points at the problems I solved
"They can't be solved by ordinary people, even I can't do it, You need excellent vision and calculation ability to do it in real-time before the time runs out, which is 3 seconds. You finished it in 1 second, that's a new record for this problem."
Okay.. So maybe this wasn't a complete waste of time.
How did I not notice this, I knew I had a slight edge, but not this much. I mean sure I memorized Goku's fighting Kata's (Form's) but i thought I was progressing that fast because of all the pressure I'm under,
"Soo, I can calculate moving objects really fast. And I would have noticed If I had photographic memory" That's not something you just forget or ignore
Bulma smiles gently at me "Gohan you have been living in the same little place for most of your life. You see those things every day so you assume you remembered it normally. How many plants were on the path to my house door?"
The image comes to my mind right away, 7 plants, 3 on one side because they are a bit bigger
"Holy Sh." "LANGUAGE!" She yells out interrupting me
"But Yes, now that you are aware of it, I'm sure you will start recalling all sort of things."
All sorts of things? I remember the receipt I saw the table, that was 4 months ago, I can perfectly recall it.
"How did I miss this" I'm speechless
"It's very common actually. Kids that have this and live isolated lives, sometimes never even find out they have this 'gift'. They don't have the luxury to dwell on memories. They get up, help around the home, work on the fields, go home eat, work, then sleep. Sounds familiar?"
.. My routine.. I train every single moment I can. Oh the irony, my drive for survival blinded me. If it wasn't for Bulma, who knows when I would have realized this.
I would have never done this before, and I probably never will again, But I stand up and give a deep bow "Thank you very much"
I meant it from the heart. She has opened new doors for me with this. She deserves this much
"Well I am a super genius, it's my job to look after my juniors. Hoh Hoh Hoh" And she ruined it, especially with that laugh of hers.
"Well now that that's over with, let's go get you those capsules, and go back to where your parents are. The rest should be arriving soon" Ahh I almost forgot
"Please don't tell my mother about this" I say with all seriousness, that woman is already annoying she is, if she learns that I'm 'gifted' she will be unbearable
Bulma looks at me for a while before she shrugs her shoulders "Sure, it's not my problem in the first place."
~~~
I got the capsules.
First a big ass freezer. It's like 2 apartments stacked on each other.
The warehouse was the same size.
And so was the house. Weird, but I'm not complaining. The house has all those household robots. Which will be so unbelievably useful for when I leave. Saiyans need a lot of food and especially a young growing one. And I don't plan on wasting hours in the kitchen cooking all that food.
"So satisfied?" Bulma grins down at me
"Yea they are great"
You can say what you want, but she helped me out a lot with this. Now as soon as we head home. I can start making preparations to leave. I'm gone within a week. Going to hull up in some hole in the mountain and get busy training. Which means basically abusing my body for the Zenkai Boost.
"Well since you have them let's go to the rest. Krillin arrived a few minutes ago, and Tien just got here.
That reminds me I need the Multi Form Technique, so I can fight against my clone, and they could beat me up. Now.. how the hell am I going to get that Technique from Tien. Tien Shinhan is a former assassin and is one of the smarter people in the group.
And I doubt he would give it to me just for being Goku's Son. The problem is I desperately need it, and have nothing else to trade for it.
Sigh.
"Come on you are so young. What worries could you have that make you sigh" Bulma smiles at me.
Woman if you knew what was coming your hair would turn grey from the stress.
"Nothing, just a bit nervous meeting so many people. you don't get to meet a lot of people where I live" she stares down at me before flicking a finger on my forehead
" You should put more effort into lying, that one was horrible. You aren't very good at this, you are too lazy to lie" Why bother making a better lie, this way I make a bad lie, and people know I don't what to talk about it
"Well, here we are. I can't believe it took us this long to gather again" We stop at the door and as Bulma was opening them I was mentally preparing myself to meet the strongest people on this planet.
